Is anyone still having problems with Gmail push? Sometimes it takes up to 3 hours for me to get a email, other times 30 seconds. I just sent myself a test email from a different account and after ten minutes nothing, even when I try to manually sync it its not getting my messages. Anyone else having these problems?
so far its working great for me, although last night i was having about an hour and half delay and no syncing so it might be something with google.

...I've been using IMAP to get my gmail. But I have a serious problem!
Unlike activesync push email, I can't find a setting to restrict the times the phone checks for email. This is a problem, because it wakes me up at random times with spam or newsletter emails!
Other than muting the phone before bed, which might cause me to miss an emergency phone call, what can I do?
Try Seven Beta, they do push for Gmail and all the others as well.
Or try Windows Live (forward gmail to Live).
Seven doesn't require you to forward it anywhere, and it will work for your Live account as well.
the only thing is Seven doesn't work . Really, i have been trying all day, and sometimes it can't "communicate with base", emails never come or come 10 minutes later... It has been a blast for me. They did sent me an email that they had a problem, i guess their problem still continues.

They have been having server issues recently, it is all detailed on the forum. It is only to be expected from a Beta product that there will be issues form time to time. Before anyone asks i have no connection to them apart from being a fairly satisfied end user.
I think the best thing to do is create a Live account (microfot) and redirect by copying automaticaly all your mail from all your accounts to this new one.
Like live use http connection, you can have a free push mail service.
And i tried seven beta but it uses lot of ressources and when I'm in the Metro "The french tube", i've not always the network. Then if he can't connect just one time, i have to re-write my password.
How's the battery when using live.com push service? Currently I'm using mail2web, I'm not sure why my account still works altough I'm not paying for it. The battery life so far is very good. But when using seven, it seems the battery drains faster than using exchange for push mail.
Did a search and could not find a similar thread addressing this issue. If I am incorrect, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
I am currently running Assonance 5.2 and have set up Yahoo and Exchange accounts, with the phone set to check for email either every 5 minutes (for my Exchange account) or once every hour (for my Yahoo account).
I have noticed that, on a daily basis, my phone will stop checking for emails altogether even though background sync is turned on. Additionally, even when I delete emails from my phone, they remain on the server. Lastly, even though I have read an email, it still shows up as unread on the server. The phone has stopped checking at random times - on Monday, it stopped checking after 3:00 p.m.; on Tuesday and Wednesday, it stopped sometime after 6:00 p.m.; and on Thursday, it stopped checking around noon.
I have tried Improved Email and K-9, but the problem remains. As an FYI, I had the same problem even when I was running an unrooted phone that was running the stock Eclair.
Have other people encountered this issue? If so, is there a way to get the email working correctly? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Same here. I use mine for corporate and I have to say my Iphone was 10 times better when it came to email etc. Sometimes I can force a refresh....others I have to reboot. But I have missed some critical emails because they just werent syncing. I have learned to deal with it although it stinks. My email blows up during business hours, so If I havent gotten an email in ~45min, I know to check it.
I had this problem in the stock email client. Clearing the cache under the applications settings menu fixed it for me. After I had to fix it this way for about the 3rd time, I switched to K9 mail and havent had a problem since. I have hotmail, POP and Gmail accounts.
Im stock, by the way.

Thanks for both of your replies. I'm glad (sort of) to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem.
@mike parsons - I am in the same boat as you where I have missed critical work emails due to the phone not fetching my email. I also grudgingly agree that the iPhone mail client worked much better. The only thing I could do to get the email on the Captivate working again was to restart the phone. Even then, I sometimes had to restart 2-3 times before the emails were sent to the phone.
I had this issue with stock Eclair 2.1 on my Rogers sourced Captivate SGH-I896 running Eclair 2.1-update 1.
It happened rarely with POP accounts, never with G-Mail, but with Exchange ActiveSync it was disastrous. I set up and configured this, and with my old Windows Phone 6.0 it did this maybe five times in 18 months.
During the off-time between Christmas and New Years it only received e-mail properly on ActiveSync two days out of eight. I didn't get much e-mail during that time either.
Sometimes it helps if I manually changed it from automatic (push) to every 15 minutes and hit "refresh" but most often it did not. The only fix was to remove the ActiveSync account and re-establish it, and it would work fine for a week or so until it started doing this again.
Another thing that seemingly affected it, was how much e-mail I would sync. It would happen quicker if I sync'd the last month of e-mail versus let's say one or two weeks.
I had run Cognition 2.3B7 without a hitch for about a week and a half and it never happened.
I just upgraded to the stock Froyo 2.2 and I'm hoping this isn't an issue with the upgraded client.
Use k9 mail. This is lots better than stock.
@diablo009 - thank you for the suggestion. However, I had the exact same problem using K9, so I am not sure what else I can try.

Did u try configuring k9 to fetch mails at intervals? It would be "folder poll frequency" under account settings. Want to see if u did this too.
Also, some apps need "background data" to be enabled in settings. Is that set? Same question about "auto-sync" being turned on.

Thanks for the suggestions - yes, I had tried different folder poll frequencies on K9 - 1 minute, 5, minutes, 15, minutes, and so on. However, there are still times when I won't receive an email for hours even though K9 is set to poll much more frequently. I will only learn of this when I check my mail through my home or work computer. In fact, on occasions like this (when I learn that phone hasn't downloaded the new messages), I will go into K9 (or the email app) and hit either refresh or check mail. Even in these situations, the new mail won't show up on the phone until I restart the phone completely. Again, I had this problem both on stock Eclair as well as on Assonance 5.2.
Also, I had enabled "sync server deletions" on K9, but messages still don't consistently get deleted from the server.
Lastly, background sync and auto sync are both enabled in settings.
Dear All,
I do apologize for starting a new thread on this topic (I know others have been berated for doing similar) but I have searched and not found anything that addresses the issue that I am having.
My Gmail app keeps dropping its push email function. Manual refresh works but not push. I can get it working again by clearing the Gmail app data and re-setting up all the Gmail settings (signature, notification, etc.) and all works well. However it only lasts for between a few hours to a couple of days before it stops working again and I have to repeat the process to get it working again.
Sending email, and my wife's Nexus S works fine. I have also just noticed (but not investigated it) but the Calendar does not seem to be automatically syncing either even though auto syncing is enabled.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a cure?
I also noticed similar Gmail sync issue yesterday. I tried all means but not successul till now. Hope someone comes up with a solution.
Oh, yesterday I got this error message couple of times " Google services framework force close or something like that". I rebooted the phone, and that error went away but not sure if that's the reason for my push email not working well.
Did you ever come with a solution to this? I've found it to be quite annoying.
This claims to be a solution: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...-gmail-app-has-stopped-syncing.html#post94541
It's written as though it's for situations that it started happening pre-empted by adding additional accounts though. I've only got 1 account and it's tending to happen every 2 or 3 days.
I have not found a "solution" - just a work around. What I have found is that when I do a full Google account sync (Settings/Accounts & sync/[Google account]/Menu button/Sync) it forces a sync of my entire Google account but then kicks my push email into life again for a couple of days without needing to wipe my Gmail app data.
I've just got into the habit of doing this every morning when I get into the office. I took a vacation a few weeks ago and forgot to do it for a couple of days and lo-and-behold my emails stopped coming through, so nothing's changed.

Well that's a better workaround than having to clear data all the time at least.
Thanks!
Has anyone found a solution to this one.
I am having the same issue on an HTC Sensation with GMAIL android app. Basically it works for about 2 days and I receive an email exactly as I receive it but then after some days it stops working.
What I normally have to do i switch off all Sync and then switch it on again and it restarts everything but this is not the ideal thing.
I had this problem before. The only way I found to fix it is to remove the google account from the phone and add it again. Also if you disable the Google account from the Account & Sync Settings and enable it again will fix the issue. I didn't have this problem again but not sure if was actualy fixed from the above steps.
Hi
I did what was said in post and now I am getting replies but I am afraid that this will stop after some time....
In the end for me I had to do a factory reset, the little workarounds weren't sticking.
I mentioned this in the other thread about push, but that thread seems to be primarily directed at the Mail application.
In the native Gmail app, I typically see delays of 5-15 minutes from the time an email shows up on my computer screen and the time my phone eventually notifies me that it received the email. Every now and then I will get the email on my phone at about the same time that it shows up on my computer screen, but a vast majority of the time it takes 5-15 minutes. On one occasion, my phone did not get it for over an hour.
Anybody else having this problem? You would probably only notice it if you sit at a computer with your Gmail open in a web browser constantly. I see that I get an email in my browser window, and I purposefully do not open it or touch it just to see how long it will take my phone to notify me.
This occurs on both wifi and LTE.
I've previously had several Android phones and never had this issue. Sync is turned on, data on, ETC. If there are any settings I might not be thinking of, please let me know, but as far as I know the Gmail app itself doesn't have any settings for push/pull.
Edit: I will also add that, while I'm waiting to receive it on my phone, if I go into the Gmail app, the message is not there. If I manually refresh, it then shows up. So this is not merely a notifications problem -- the native Gmail app is actually failing to receive emails in a timely manner.
I had definitely noticed this in the first week or so of having the phone, but now that it's been about two and a half weeks, the GMail seems to be fine. Maybe I just got used to it, but I'll try and monitor it for a few days and report back here.

I believe most of us believe it's a bug in the OS.
My Gmail setup in the Gmail app or Email app gets the same random delays. I've tested it a day with the Gmail app and had delays. The very next day I removed it and tried the Email app and it still had delays.
I personally think it's gmail email related since my work email so far has been working 100% in the Email app.
Either way, there's no definite answer other than we all know the phone has email delay problems.

lol the Email app's a whole other story. At least for my ActiveSync Exchange account at work. Even with the syncing set to "push," my emails don't always come in right away. Actually the "Smart Sync" setting seems to work better (again, maybe it's in my head, I'll have to do more testing), as long as I "train" my phone to realize that I'm using the email app constantly throughout the day.
for a ling time, through a variety of phones, i have used different email apps with no issues. Lately though, and i think its since updating to oreo, im getting the push notification of an email but it just wont open the body of the mail. Ive tried about 5 diferent email apps now and all are the same.
So ive gone back to the built in email app and emails are opening and showing everything fine but am i right in thinking it isnt push notifications? I cant see anyway of doing so, just to sync every 15, 30, 45 or 60 mins? Is this right?
Is there no way of getting instant push notifications of an email received using the stock huawei email app?
having major issues with email on this phone. Never had problems with any other phone and ive had many over the last 15 years.
No other email app will show the body of an email, the default email did for a while then that stopped as well. Ive uninstalled updates to the huawei mobile services, ive deleted cache and storage for the app and reset up my email. i get loads of errors at different points. Took about 15 attempts to re-set up my email as it couldnt connect to server when setting up. Then it kept telling me my password was wrong when i know it wasnt.
Eventually managed to set it up again and looked like it was working but now it wont send emails. Says something about not being logged in and gives an error code. I can only put this down to a buggy Oreo as i dont remember having issues before updating.
Anyone able to help?
