+rmayben9 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yesterday all of my notifications from GC started coming in as a bunch of random text on my iPhone and iPad. Has this happened to anyone else? I use a yahoo account, and the notifications were fine when I checked them in a browser. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Here's a sample: WW91IGFyZSByZWNlaXZpbmcgdGhpcyBlbWFpbCBiZWNhdXNlIHRoaXMgbGlzdGlu ZyBpcyBvbiB5b3VyIHdhdGNoIGxpc3QuIFZpc2l0IHRoZSB3ZWIgc2l0ZSB0byBj aGFuZ2UgeW91ciB3YXRjaGxpc3Qgc2V0dGluZ3MuCgpMb2NhdGlvbjogQWxhYmFt YSwgVW5pdGVkIFN0YXRlcwpBSiB3aXRoIHRoZSBCU0EgcG9zdGVkIGEgbm90ZSBm b3IgSG9yYWNlIChVbmtub3duIENhY2hlKSBhdCA2LzI3LzIwMTEKCkxvZyBEYXRl OiA2LzI3LzIwMTEKSSBhbSBubyBkb2N0b3IuLi4uIGJ1dCBJIHRoaW5rIEhvcmFj ZSBoYXMgYmVlbiBhbG9uZSBmb3IgYSBiaXQgdG9vIGxvbmcuLi4uIGhlIGlzIGEg Yml0IGNyYXp5Li4uLiBoYXMgYW55b25lIGNvbnNpZGVyZWQgVGhvcmF6aW5lPz8/ ICAoSWYgd2Uga2VlcCBhc2tpbmcgcXVlc3Rpb25zIHRvIHRoZSBib3gsIHdlIG1h eSBuZWVkIHNvbWUgVGhvcmF6aW5lLi4uLi4pCgpWaXNpdCB0aGlzIGxvZyBlbnRy eSBhdCB0aGUgYmVsb3cgYWRkcmVzczoKaHR0cDovL2Nvb3JkLmluZm8vR0w1WFhO QzcgCgpWaXNpdCBVbmtub3duIENhY2hlCkhvcmFjZQpodHRwOi8vY29vcmQuaW5m by9HQzJIRDFOIAoKUHJvZmlsZSBmb3IgQUogd2l0aCB0aGUgQlNBOgpodHRwOi8v Y29vcmQuaW5mby9QUjNISDE3IAoKUmVtb3ZlIGZyb20gd2F0Y2hsaXN0OiAKaHR0 cDovL3d3dy5nZW9jYWNoaW5nLmNvbS9teS93YXRjaGxpc3QuYXNweD9pZD0xOTU0 OTE0JkRTPTEmQUNUSU9OPVJFTSA= Quote Link to comment
+CacheFreakTim Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If it works fine in a browser sounds like the problem is the email app. I would reboot and if that doesnt fix it make sure you are up to date on firmware. Your not using the new beta OS are you? Quote Link to comment
+LayDBugz Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm having the same problem... Quote Link to comment
+Lieblweb Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Do you have another email account? How's the mail with the other accounts? Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The notifications are all base64 encoded, and have been for years. What you're seeing is the raw encoded data. It's the job of the email client to decode the text and properly display it. Quote Link to comment
+rmayben9 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 It works fine since I switched over to my gmail. It must be something with the iOS mail app and yahoo. I'll try it again after my next sync. Quote Link to comment
+WhiteRockBob Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Another me too. It started yesterday. An ipod touch in my case. I have not synced the ipod in several weeks, so the software on the ipod should not have changed. The notification emails show up fine in yahoo's browser based email reader. Perhaps Groundspeak made a subtle change to the outgoing emails and apple's yahoo email reader is pickier about a tag in the email header than everyone else. Quote Link to comment

+WhiteRockBob Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I just compared an email from Sunday and one from today and got the same result - I can't see any change in the header. I'm stumped. I'm not giving up yet, but I'm stumped. Didn't sync or update the ipod recently. Searching Apple's forums doesn't get any recent hits, just some old ones that vaguely imply they were finicky about base64. My iOS is a version or two behind, I've put off that upgrade for too long, time to try it. Quote Link to comment
+jodieshobby Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I just started having the same problem with the yahoo email notifications today also. It was working fine yesterday but since the update today it has been a jumbled up mess. Any idea how to fix this? I really miss being able to read my notifications on new caches or the ones Ive saved on my list .Thank You!Forgot to mention I use an iphone 4.

+WhiteRockBob Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Mine fixed itself. I'm curious how, it's a mystery to me. For your diagnostic or comparative purposes - I upgrade my ipod from 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 last night. That didn't help. Got 6 scrambled emails through the day up to 3:52PM east coast time today. Got 3 that were good starting at 3:57PM. Thanks to whoever fixed it. Quote Link to comment
+CacheFreakTim Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I just ran a couple PQ's and they work fine on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I tested Yahoo and Gmail via the mail app and all looks ok. Quote Link to comment
