Is there a way to have my gmail pull my mail every few hrs? I was looking everywhere on my phone but I couldn't find it. I remember seeing this on my mytouch 3g 2 years ago but now I need help lol

Yes but you can't use the Gmail app. You have to use the HTC email app. It is preloaded on the phone. Under the settings is a option to tell it how often you want it checked. I don't understand why anyone would want to use it though when the Gmail app is true push mail and notifies you instantly if you get new mail.
Anyone know how to get push mail on the email app because I do like it's interface better than the Gmail app but I want my emails instantly without an app needing to check for new mail.
You could try setting up the htc email app using the active sync settings for gmail (like you would on windows mobile).
I have not tried this on the sensation but gmail had push enabled through active sync on other devices so I assume it would work.

So recently i switched from a white mytouch to a black mytouch.. on my old mytouch the facebook push notifications worked perfectly... now on my new black mytouch the facebook notifications no longer work.
Anyone else seeing this problem i googled the issue and its hit and miss on people having this issue.
for those of you that do have a facebook can you go into your facebook app settings and see if you see an option for push notifications. I suspect that for one reason or another the people that download the facebook app from the market place may or may not get a version with push notifications as an option, i could be wrong.
if anyone has a fix for this it would also help
Same here. I got my black MT4G on Fri & mine stopped worked by Friday night.
so it worked at one point for you also then it just stopped working...?
Try pushing Facebook to the system I occasionally get them on cm 7 when Facebook wants to work ... I notice stock espresso has a fusion of the app and HTC account as well cause it only ask me to sync Facebook with the HTC account when I sign in the app

the facebook app is the one i downloaded from the market, not the local system facebook app. it's just weird i have been looking into this and noticed it happen across all carriers that are running android 2.2 devices.
I have had this same issue with my facebook app. My push notifications were working, then just stopped one day. I might get a pushed notification when I open the app . . . and also my widget doesn't update all the time.
Yup, chalk me up to one who's facebook doesn't push notifications through. It worked for a few days...then stopped completely.
Me too not working anymore..

Ive had the same issue.. after playing around and trying a few things out.. ive realized its only when you leave a comment using the facebook app.. if someone responds, it doesnt tell you via email .. If someone messages you, comments your page ect it does email you. If you start a conversation with the facebook app it wont follow up.
If you start a conversation from the PC it does notify your phone but not the other way around. I tested it last night and left a few comments at a buddies page. the following day i went back using the app and later the PC and there were responses, except i never got a notification.
Push notifications has nothing to do with emails lol

I'm having the same problem for the last 2 months on Stock rom and CM7 RC1 and CM7 nightlys. It has to be the FB App issue. I just use the gmail app to notify me about stuff on FB for now.
Anyone found a fix yet?

No fix yet... sux i knw

I've noticed this problem recently only after switching to CM7 from Evil's DHD rom, but it's the facebook app and not the rom?
I originally had a white one and it pushed the notifications but now it doesn't on my black one. And now on the black mytouch I can't use Facebook in friendstream

Android fb app sucks period. G2 and mt4g both never gave me notifications.

Well back to report. I tried pretty much everything I rooted my phone switched roms to several different ones. I also tried to push a stock Facebook app to the phone to no avail. I don't know how to get Facebook to push my notifications again.
More so then anything it's not the fact that I love Facebook thy much it just irritates me that something doesn't work when it use to.

LOL there are quite a few things but this is mainly the biggest thing, it is getting to be annoying with this phone in particular
Is the fact I keep having to sign into my gmail...like every hour.
I have 3 main gmail accounts
One for pleasure/personal use
One for work
One for school
(I am considering switching back to WP7 & hotmail...but that is another story)
It seems every hour, I'm having to resign into Gmail. And it's not a huge deal but it is a bit annoying seeing the little notification sign that is saying that you need to sign into [email protected]
Furthermore, my Gmail is not pushing to my phone whatsoever so I am not getting any emails without having to sync it manually...even though it is said to get it whenever available.
Idk what to do or what exactly the issue is but it is truly annoying. Any suggestions would be nice?
:O wrong place for this sweety. But I have 5 gmail accounts setup and 2 personal and working fine. Which rom are you using stock? do you have them all setup under account and sync? I remember when I got MT4G and checked 2 acc's from stock rom and worked fine.
lol well where should i post this at then?
and ummm, i am actually using the phone the same exact way out of the box
and everything is fine under accounts & sync...just none of them sync or hardly
ever
You are using GMail App and not EMail App right? Ok lets see you have Background Data and Auto Sync checked? Open GMail app and click Menu> More> Setting> Notification Setting> Email Notification checked? Also make sure you have Update Schedule with fixed time on Send & Receive in GMail setting.
Can u even get gmail over wifi?

Oh my mistake. Lol I didn't have my background data enabled after all haha.
But the sign in issue is annoying

I'm glad to know someone is having similar troubles.
It's all good. I'm probably just going to trade this for a windows phone anyway.

I have 4 gmail accounts sync'd on my phone and don't have to sign in on them and get things pushed to them just fine. I'm also on the stock rom...
Just a random thought here, but try deleting one of your email accounts & set it up using the regular mail app & not the gmail app. Just giver it a shot & see.
I have 1 thru the gmail app & 3 thru the regular mail app (live, hotmail & school) & they all work fine

Does the inspire not support Verizon email accounts? Mine won't add it. I tried the mail app and also went settings, accounts, add account. Still nothing. Any thoughts?
Are you talking about the HTC Mail App? Is there any reason you're not using GMail?
I have gmail also but my work email is Verizon
I think he is trying to tell you to add your pop or whatever account to your gmail account.. you do this online - log into gmail, go to settings, and add the accounts... this way you don't have to deal with the email app..

Ah I see, didn't realize that. Thanks ill try that and let you guys know.
I had no problems manually entering my Verizon acct into the HTC email app. Have you tried manually entering your acct info?

I'm having problems with HTC mail. It doesn't want to load any email from my yahoo account. It was working fine out of the box till yesterday. I did restarts, factory restores, etc... Still not loading. Just wondering if any of you have this problem.

Same issue here. it worked for less than a week. I've had to rest to Yahoo mail android app.
Maybe it's trying to say Yahoo mail sucks?
When you have the mail app open hit menu, settings, send & receive, download past email and make sure you have something other than 1 day selected. I'm using 14 days for my work email and seems to be just the right amount.
Who uses yahoo?

I read about this a few days ago. Yahoo did what Hotmail did and is requiring a "plus" account to use IMAP features or something like that.
This was the initial reason I switched to gmail years ago. If I can remember, the solution is to use the Yahoo app as mentioned.

Guys I had the same issue, it was working out of the box and then stopped working here is what worked for me.
Delete your yahoo mail account and create a new one, this time use a wrong password(I know it doesnt make any sense) then the phone will tell you AUTHENTICATION FAILED(since you put the wrong password). Now put the correct password and it will work.
Let me know if still an issue.
Hi everybody.
First of all, my device is running Sensay XE35.
So let me explain my problem : i try to configure an email address via sense app and I would like to get it working with push. So I choose exchange activsync, I configure it, tap next, it begins to sync but when it's gonna finish then I have a notification which tell me that it fails "error of identification by server". I try several things and did several search but no luck
Hope you could help me to resolve this.

Exchange is only used for emails using Microsoft exchange servers like a work email. Who is your email provider
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Gmail.
I'm talking about activesync in the HTC Sense mail app : it should work with Gmail.
Everybody got this working with push but i can't ! i'm just getting crazy !
Why don't you use the gmail app? And when you add a new account you're selecting exchange activesync?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
because, first, i have 2 accounts so i would like to use just one app instead of 2 :/ and i prefer Sense app
Yes i choose activesync of course :/ i write my gmail address, my password, then next.
I also tried to configurate it manually many times but no luck always this error while doing first sync
i'm using the HTC Sense mail app as well for gmail. i have mine configured using exchange: username =gmail email address, password=gmail password and server address=m.google.com.
yeah me too but sync fails
I think that is only for Microsoft exchange and that is why it isn't working
You want to.go.to settings > accounts and sync > add account and then choose mail and try it that way
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Bro' i told you it's possible.
I'm not asking if it's possible to do like that, I'm asking why it doesn't work for me.
Nobody has an idea?
