I just wish my phone didn't still chirp regardless of tab

What client/platform?

Using the gmail client on Android, for me the experience has been that email to the alternate tabs don't count for notifications -- neither sound nor notification icon. It HUGELY reduced the amount of notification noise I was getting, and just for that is a huge improvement. Now when there is a notification it is almost always legitimate.




My experience exactly! Until this change, I didn't quite realize that close to 80% of the chirps are just crap.

Having to dig for stuff is a bit inconvenient, but it's a welcomed trade over the noise.


@3825, my guess was that OP is talking about iOS, where as @corresation are just commenting on how the experience is different for the Android app.

I don't know if the official iOS GMail app has these changes or not.


I don't know what the OP meant but to me standard client means using IMAP/POP protocol as opposed to the official Google apps.
