Official Samsung Epix e-mail notification fix
Direct Download (Download Page)
Attention! If you have a Samsung Epix, make sure you install this patch!
Samsung released their official E-mail Notification fix for the Samsung Epix (SGH-i907). This patch allows for audio and vibration notification for new e-mails when in sleep mode.
The Samsung SGH-i907, known as the EPIX, supports multiple methods of notifications for events through visual and audio alerts. By implementing power saving techniques, a side effect that disables audio alerts was noticed. Samsung has developed a software patch which will now enable the EPIX to provide audible notifications alerts for your emails when the device enters an unattended power saving mode.
You can read more about the patch in Samsung’s official statement (PDF). Issues this patch does NOT address:
- LED alerts for SMS messages remains unchanged. The LED will blink a few times and then turn off.
- LED alerts for e-mail messages remains unchanged. The LED will blink a few times and then turn off.
- “Display message on screen” still reverts back to being “checked” after a soft reset.
Note: This patch will need to be re-installed whenever completing a hard reset. Big thanks to Eric I. for the heads up on this one!

so why does ‘“Display message on screen” still reverts back to being “checked” after a soft reset. ‘ It is quite annoying to have to uncheck these each time I swap a battery. what gives?
