I've given my Motion to my mother and she is going to see how she gets on with it.
I am now four hours away from her and she's asked how to stop in beeping when it gets email. I thought I'd set it up like this, but obviously not.
I'd ne really grateful if someone can post exactly which screens in the Settings to go to to change this? (She wants audible alerts for calls, SMS, WhatsApp, etc.). It was very confusing on the initial setup on how on earth to get it to shut up!
Bear in mind I'm not too familiar with Android and she is the least techy person I've ever met.
How is her email set up? Through the Hub or was it set up through the GMail app?
Either way:
-Hub-
- Go to Settings
- Go to Apps & notifications
- Find Inbox
- Tap App notifications
- Under the email account: Tap on New Messages - You can shut them off entirely here, or just set it to make no sound
-GMail-
- Go to Settings
- Go to Apps & notifications
- Find GMail
- Tap App notifications
- Under the email account: Tap on Mail - You can shut them off entirely here, or just set it to make no sound
I was quite surprised when she said the battery is draining fast, her friend told her Skype was the culprit. She deleted it and is now happy with the phone.
