mail notifications not working correctly on iPhone 5

Lol thought I was the only one with this problem on my iphone 5. It annoys the **** out of me too I used to always like this on my iphone 4. Hopefully they address this in ios 6.0.1 update coming in a few weeks. Lets hope so...

As you said, your alert style is set to banners. So if you wanna see the notification, you have to check the notification centre by swiping from top to bottom. So, if you wanna see an alert message for each emails, change the notification from banners to alerts. Also if you wanna see it even before you unlock your phone, you have to set the "view in lock screen" to ON.

Ok then do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button until the apple logo appears.

If that doesnt help do a restore using itunes.

Scott is correct on my iphone 4 i used to be able to have my phone turned off in standby then if i received any emails while the phone still turned off in standby followed by a swipe to unlock my phone an imediate banner or banners would follow showing me the email/emails that my phone has received. Not the full email but at least the subject or who it was from now the banner will only drop if i am using the phone. Very frustrating of it was something you were used to using and none of your reccomendations work or will fix this, it's just another bug to add to the ios 6 to fix list. Thanks for tryin though :)

Its not a bug with iOS6. If it was, then every1 would be having the same problem. As I dont have this problem and many other dont, the better way is to restore the phone using Itunes. Sometimes errors happens because when updating to iOS 6, the download wold get interupet and the file will get a little corrupted resulting in problems with OS. So doing a fresh download will download a new file from apple server which will be error free.

Eventhough you didnt do it, someone at apple have done this causing an error. They have no way to test this kind of errors. So the better way is to restore your phone using itunes (make sure you backup before updating).

I have tried what you are saying and all the above, I don't think you understand what we are saying is happening to us because you probably never used or use it. We understand that you can see the notification by pulling down the notification tab from the top of the screen but in the past for example on my ipad and iphone 4 it would show you a preview banner of your emails you have received for the day had you not unlocked your phone for any given amount of time and given you did receive any emails the next time you unlocked your phone it would bring up top of the screen a preview of each email you had in your inbox automatically one by one in the banners without having to go to the notification pull down. It is a bug because I guarntee if you turned it on you wouldn't see what were talkin about either and you wouldn't if you've never were setup for that intention either.

Feel free to chime in here if we're on the same page?

Goodluck! I guarantee you 100% that the restore won't fix the banner problem but i can't speak for the aac file issue.

I see what you're talking about. In my case, I can see all my emails or notifications on ma lock screen. And when I unlock my phone, I have to go to notification centre to see it. Notification centre displays all the emails as a two line preview. I get to see banners for each mail only when I receive an email when my phone is in use(unlocked).
