Anyone know how often the Gmail app checks and will alert you if you get a new email? I'd like to receive a notification instantly in real time bcuz I have set up security cameras that are supposed to email me when they detect motion.

As far as I know, you can not set up the frequency of sync in the gmail app. You can set up your gmail account on which ever email app you are using and in most email apps you can set the sync frequency but I am not sure what is the fastest frequency you can set....
As long as you are connected to a mobile network and can receive a data connection, you should be receiving an alert as soon as your account receives the email. You should check it periodically though because if your phone can not get a reliable connection for a length of time, it might stop updating and you would have to update manually.

I have HD2 with NexusHD2 SD ROM.
I configured the GMail app to receive push notifications but sometimes they do not appear. I have a constant 3G connection. Does this connection stays alive when the phone is in standby mode?
Also the calendar sometimes behaves the same as the GMail app and does not automatically refresh the events that I add directly from my PCs browser.
Is there an app that will force the 3G connection alive or to check the GMail app for new mails and not only to wait for notification because if there is no 3G connection at the moment the notification is not received?
Thank you!
I think all gmail notifications are having issues right now after the last gmail update. I know I'm not getting mine anymore right now. Could be wrong tho..
As far as what youre asking about, I'm kinda new to all this, however I know that Juice Defender Plus will do what you're wanting. I'm sure there might be other apps, free ones even, but juice defender is what I'm familiar with.
I stopped using the Advanced Task Killer and so far there hasn't been any problems but I will continue testing.
We all know by now that the phone has been weird with emails. Sometimes the push email works and sometimes it doesn't. My main issue was my Gmail. I have 3x Gmail and 2x Work.
This is what I did. So far, it's working 100%.
Please know, this will only work if you DON'T use the Gmail app.
1. Factory wiped the phone. Once started up, do not add your Google account yet.
2. Go into Settings and Apps and disable all your bloatware while you're here and make sure you disable the Gmail app. When you get out of it, it'll reload Sense. After this, go ahead and reboot your phone to be safe.
3. Now go ahead and go to Settings and Accounts and add your Google account. With Gmail disabled, it will not sync your email. Your choice if you want to sync Contacts.
4. Next, setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange via server method. Email and Username is your full email address. Leave Domain blank. The server address is m.google.com
5. When finished, set it up Push Email and not Smart Sync. If you did not sync your Contacts via Google, you can do it here also. Same with Calendar and Tasks.
Done!

With this method, I haven't had any issues...YET
Please comment if this works well for you.
Maybe we can see if it's just Gmail accounts in general or any Microsoft Exchange accounts too.
Please NO iOS vs Android statements
Or you can do what I did and go into your advanced wifi settings and enable Best Wifi Performance. Since I enabled this my push notifications have been coming instantly.

I had the issue regardless on WiFi, 4G, or LTE.
I am on LTE 100% so I prefer my faster connection
I know that this thread is about not using the Gmail app but I saw on the other thread about the email issues that some people complained about the Gmail app being slow too with getting push notifications.
I am a first time Android user and I have noticed that it usually takes several minutes for my phone to notify me in the GMail app. Is this normal across Android phones or does this push notification bug also affect the GMail app too?

This is NOT normal. The native gmail app should receive emails within 5-10 seconds (max) of when they would show up in your account if you were using a computer.

What worked for me was extremely simple. After I setup the accounts, I went back into "Accounts & Sync" and under each account, I simply toggled "Sync Mail" off, then back on. After I did that to each account, push was enabled and working on all accounts.

My Gmail app doesn't push all my mail. When I check my gmail on my laptop, there is still unread mail in my inbox???
I'm having an issue with the stock email app where I can only seem to get my emails while on wifi. Anytime I leave my house or work where I am connected to wifi, I get a message that says "Can't Sign In". If it makes any difference, I am using my Yahoo email account. I know one solution is to use the official Yahoo app, but I want to do what I can to stick with the stock email app
I saw a tip somewhere on XDA that said to change the Incoming and Outgoing server settings and this worked for a bit but the settings seem to change itself. The tip was to delete the word android from both server names, changing the Incoming server from "android.imap.mail.yahoo.com" to "imap.mail.yahoo.com" and changing the Outgoing server from "android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" to "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
Anyone?
In the meantime I started using the official Yahoo Mail app, but I'd like to use the stock email app if anyone could help me? Thanks
It could help you: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&locale=en_US&id=SLN4075
EDIT
I've just tried with a Yahoo address email and the stock Email app. Everything is automatically configured. I can show you my settings if needed.
Make sure you didn't prevent background data for the app
I have three email accounts using the stock email app, and a gmail account using the gmail app. The three accounts using the stock app are all set to sync manually, and the peak schedule set to off. The stock app still syncs throughout the day, does anyone know how to set it so it will only sync when the app is opened up?
I had the same problem. Only way I could keep it from syncing was to turn sync completely off in the email app's settings. Then turn it back on when I wanted to manually sync.
Same problem with manaul sync of email
Bought my S7 today and have discovered the same thing. Setting sync schedule to manual does not seem to have any effect. If Sync account is on, I get mail; it's if off, I don't. I'd like to set Sync account to on, then request mail when I want it. The pdf manual reads 'To manually retrieve emails, swipe downwards on the screen.' But if Sync account is off, swiping down doesn't retrieve emails, and if Sync account is on, the emails are downloaded before you swipe.
Bug?

Move your Gmail account to the stock email app and you can set it however you need. It would be easier to have all accounts in one place anyway.

Have you tried through Settings > Accounts long press on Google and turn off Automatic Sync in there for G-Mail and any other Google services you don't want to sync automatically.
Then when you open the G-Mail app just pull the screen down to update your messages which will sync manually.

If you turn auto sync off, it will nor sync by pulling screen down.

If you turn it off then when you open your gmail app and slide the screen down you will see the circle icon rotating and any new emails will be loaded into you inbox, I know it works because I use it, if you have no new emails nothing will change.

Same here. For the gmail account I use the gmail app. For the other two accounts (one is yahoo one is work POP account) i use the S7 stock email app. The stock email is better for me as it allows me to sort by unread and select all. All set on manual but keeps synchronizing. Very annoying...

Yes it is. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.

I have the exact same problem.
I want manual sync (no automatic sync) for my work email after 17:00, but I want to be able to open the app and browse emails offline (WITHOUT the app instantly triggering a sync). This worked in my S5 but has now changed in S7.
Agree that it is a bug!

Any suggestions??? More bugs - bought S7 -just set up my business email as POP3 (yahoo small business with email on Yahoo server) thru email that comes with S7. Want all my emails from my email acount on phone - several years of them that amount to under 2GB (sometimes need see all conversations from past with client while not hear laptop in home office) and then want to sync every 15 min and have new emails sent to phone - (on laptop use microsoft outlook set up as pop3 to leave on server when download). Also since I am starting new bus but want to see emails from old bus only way to do on phone is Pop3 (if stop paying Yahoo yearly fee will delete emails from its server for that email account). My old Blackberry did this perfectly - downloaded all , then every 15 minutes just downloaded new when synched and could just flick thru them. In prior Samsung S (did not own one) used to have setting in synch to "period of time" to sync - in S7 now asks "how many emails to load"- even if set on TOTAL does not seem to be willing to download all my emails. to the phone. Only loaded three months then went back while phone still on, and only one month shows. Whole purpose of Pop3 is to download ALL emails in an email account. Then when delete an email deletes from phone and server. Any fix for this anyone knows? If this just a limit in the native email app in phone or in Android OS so in all phones? If just this app anyone know an email app for non-exchange and exchange servers that will permit you to download ALL emails in email account set as pop3?
Yes - this sucks - I have used a note3, note4 and the manual sync rmail works great - I tried a note5 and it would sync automatically (even though I set it to only manual sync) I KNOW how to so this (since I did it with the note 3&4. ---- the note 7 also has this problem - WHY didn't samsung fix it? It's ANNOYING to be woken up with email alerts, and it's annoying to have to turn sync on and off. We paid a lot of money for this phone - it should work.... come on Samsung......
None of my Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts are syncing automatically anymore on my VZW Galaxy S6. I have them set to receive Push Notifications, no Peak Schedule is set so they should come through as soon as they arrive on the exchange server. The only way to see if I have emails is to open each account's inbox. Very annoying. I'm missing important emails when I'm away from my computer. I have two Exchange accounts through different companies so it's not my company policy or server settings. Everything worked fine before Marshmallow.
I have notifications allowed for the Email app.
All permissions allowed for the email app.
AutoSync is turned on for all accounts.
I've tried with Power Saver on and off seeing as power saver now seems to turn off background syncing when the device is asleep.
Here are my account settings:
-Show Images: yes
-Auto Download attachments: yes
-Download only via WiFi: No
-Sync Schedule: Auto (when received)
-Period to sync: 1 month
-Limit Retrieval Size: No limit
-Limit Retrieval Size when roaming: No Limit
-In case of conflict: Server Has Priority

Have you made any changes to phone like upgrading anything that might effect knox ?
Exchange servers I believe go through knox, so any changes may effect how you are receiving the mail.

No, not that I'm aware of. Just updated to marshmallow and did a factory reset immediately after to have a fresh slate. Emails still sync manually.
I also noticed that now all my emails if/when they sporadically roll in say "Content Hidden" in the notification preview. This was not the case in Lollipop. Maybe the same security setting that blocks notification previews of the text is blocking the syncing?

the problem is with marshmallow and Microsoft exchange.
You may need to up date the exchange to be compatible with marshmallow.
The new marshmallow update has caused Microsoft to break the links from the exchange to the phone. Manual is unaffected because manual sync means basically you are polling the email and asking it to reconnect to the exchange.
Marsh mellow is a new UI and firmware which unfortunately still has bugs to be worked out.
I think it's Power Saver mode. It's now extremely aggressive in Marshmallow. It turns off sync. Period.
Pretty much only SMS and calls get through.
I noticed that if I wrote an email, pressed send, then immediately hit the power button to turn off my screen to pocket my phone while using power saver, it would immediately kill any syncing before the email could be sent. I was wondering why I had 10 unsent emails in my outbox. You must keep the screen on until the email sends or it won't go anywhere. Nor will they show up in your inbox unless you manually check.
Man... regular power saver may as well be Ultra Power Saver now. I used to leave it on 24/7 and get 1.5 days out of my phone with my phone still being fully usable. Now I don't get any more, in fact battery life is definitely worse thanks to the ridiculous auto-brightness control that's way too bright 90% of the time.
