Double/Echo Email Notification Sound (iPhone 6 Plus and iOS 8)

iOS 8.1.1 has been seeded to developers so let's hope this is fixed.

Guys, i think i found something.

This what i had on my iPhone 6 iOS 8.1:

Both My corporate Exchange email account and my Gmail account were configured on my device on the native Mail app and i didn't have the double/echo email notification issue.

Once i decided to use the new "Inbox" app by Google for my Gmail, i removed the Gmail account from the native Mail app and left only the Exchange account.

That's the point were the double/echo email notification started.

Today, i decided i had enough from the "Inbox" app and re-configured my Gmail again on the native mail app.

Once i did it & both Exchange and Gmail accounts are under the native mail app again, it's stopped completely!

I don't know what is the reason for that but it works great and you can try it too.

Maor.

I'm having the double notification issue and I don't have a gmail mail account or an exchange account.

I'm having the same issue.

In the native mail app, I have a work (Exchange account) and my iCloud account configured. I do not use/receive emails on my iCloud account. When I receive emails on the Exchange account, I get double vibration and double chime if sounds are on.

Here too.

I got this too on iPhone 5, iOS 8.1 with gmail account using the Mail app. One thing I noticed is that the echo happens only when I am in places with poor reception, never on wifi. I think it may have something to do with loosing and reestablishing network connection as a new message is coming in.

This is clearly a bug. I have been able to replicate the issue and resolve it. However, it is not an acceptable solution.

I have a work Exchange account configure and a personal Outlook.com account configured. When both email accounts are on my phone I get the double alert regardless of which account the email comes from. When I remove 1 of the 2 accounts the issues goes away. When I reconfigure both accounts the double/echo alerts return. Apple needs to fix this bug.

I have the same setup as you, but when I took the outlook.com email address off, I am still getting the issue. At this point, I have just learned to deal with it (annoying as it is), as I am giving up on Apple to produce a fix and make it to where it functioned like pre iOS8..

Anyone know if this is fixed in 8.1.1 that was released today?

I'm still seeing it, so no. I have an Exchange account for work and a GMail account, and if I have the Exchange account set to give just a vibe, I get the double vibe. If I turn off vibe notifications for that account, I correctly get no vibe. I like to leave my phone un-muted to let phone call rings come through, but I use the "vibe with no audible alert" with my email accounts. When I enabled an audible alert along with the vibe, I've only gotten a single vibe with each of four messages so far. There may be a correlation with disabling the audible alert.

The "vibe without audio" option was added in iOS7 and I was pretty happy with it. I used to use a self-created "silent" audio sample in earlier iOS versions to have it only vibe regardless of the state of the mute switch.

For what it's worth, I'm seeing this behavior on a 5s and not a 6 plus.

It has been resolved for me since the update to 8.1.1 this afternoon.

I tested it on my exchange, iCloud, and Gmail email accounts. No double ringtone thus far!

iPhone 6+, 128gb, AT&T

Yep, fixed for me too. Didn't use exchange accounts, just Gmail and iCloud through the mail app.

NOT fixed for me. Two Exchange accounts, both with double notifications. iPhone 6, Verizon, 64gb.

Also not fixed for me. Updated last night, and the echo went away temporarily. Phone started doing it again this morning.

doesnt work for me either. finepiks & klaus21, what are your settings in the sounds and then the notifications settings for each of your accounts?
