[Q] why is my email not syncing all the time?

Hi all.
Hopefully someone can help.
Basic I've bought this tablet and it was already rooted.
I'm not sure what rom I am on but a screen picture is attached.
I am using the exchange e-mail for my gmail.
However it seems to work fine for the first few days and then it stop syncing and e-mail start disappearing out of my inbox.
I've tried deleting the account and installing them again but the same thing happens.

When it stops syncing - does it work when you sync/refresh manually from app? Do you have any battery saving apps installed? Tthose can disable network connectivity while screen is off and stop apps from background sync.
The other thought is that I wouldn't trust device used and rooted by someone else - I'd do factory reset and re-flashed ROM. Who knows what background apps are installed there?

In your email settings, try m.google.com as your incoming server.
Gmail doesn't use push when using sammy's email app. This should fix/help with auto-syncing.
Also, you have your sync setting set to peak/off peak. Maybe an issue? See if a more frequent schedule is available.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the responses.
I would flash the Rom again but I have no idea which it is.
My email settings are m.Google.com it works fine for first few days then just stops.
I then have to go into gmail to pick my missing mails.
Weird and very annoying ......

Major Prob - Hope for help

I have a GS3 running a custom 4.1.2 ROM called BoneStock. I just got the SW2 and after charging the watch turned NFC on and followed the instructions in the manual (downloaded the SmartWatch app, downloaded SmartConnect, touched the back of the phone to the back of the watch), which started the download of the SW to the watch. Everything seemed good.
To start getting notifications I downloaded WatchIt and it installed on the watch as well. All continued to seem good. I then sent myself a text from my wife's phone to my phone and after a second the message popped up on my watch. Things seem really good at this point.
Things immediately went bad though... my phone seemed to reboot, and then the touch screen seems to be locked, as I can't swipe to get past the lock screen. The screen occasionally turns itself on. The lit icons (back button, and menu button) lights up. I get notifications on the notification line at the top of the phone. There is a white hand on the notification bar (I believe its the Accessibility icon).
I have tried rebooting my phone. I have tried pulling the battery. Neither has helped. I have turned the watch off, hoping to free up the phone. That didn't help. I tried going into recovery and rebooting the phone from there. Didn't help. Hard to believe the very stock custom ROM is the cause of this, but open to any suggestions and hoping someone has faced and overcome a similar problem. Hoping I don't need to replace my phone, also hoping I don't need to return my watch.
UPDATE: I was able to get my phone up and running by getting into Recovery (TWRP), doing a wipe that brought my phone back to the original state.I will have to start over and try again to pair the watch and phone, and get it to catch notifications... this time without killing my phone.
Anyone have any thoughts to why my phone and watch didn't play nicely together?
(1) Is it due to the custom ROM?
(2) Did I make some major mistake when I paired the phone and watch (using NFC)? Should I try using bluetooth?
(3) Did I make a mistake setting WatchIt as my notification SW?
Any help would be much appreciated. I bought the SW2 at Best Buy and they have a 15 day return period, so any advice and guidance over the next few days would be much appreciated!

Newer update... I started over, this time using Bluetooth instead of NFC, and using the Sony messaging notification for texts instead of WatchIt. While I accidentally found the distance between phone and watch wasn't as far as I had thought, the watch picked up the texts and almost immediately if close to the phone. So good so far. My next need... native email.
I knew the SW2 only worked natively with Sony phones so I switched to K9 on my phone and downloaded K9 For Smartwatch for the watch. I didn't get any notifications appear on the watch. I will try again this AM, but am I missing a step or extension or setting that enables the watch notifications?
I also downloaded the Sony callhandling extension but didn't have time to test that, but again, I am wondering if I missed a step or setting with that?
Lastly, if I do try to use WatchIt again, is there a correct step by step process, like granting accessibility, or setting it up that only specific apps or processes send notifications, or anything else that will avoid freeing up my phone?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cant really help with custom roms, but I have android 4.1.2 aswell and watchit interacts with some other functions wierdly. Did you accept the watchit in Easy accessibility settings? It must be turned on. And i recommend to let watchit only notify with the apps you really want. Otherwise it will notify all time like "text was copied to clipboard" etc.
What is your email application? Gmail smart extension works fine with gmail (obviously). But after you have downloaded the gmail-app, you also need to add the adress for it by clicking the installed app from sw2 control center from the phone. Probably same with K9?

Thanks for the response. And yes, the GMail extension has a checkbox (checked) for my gmail address.
I switched from the stock email on my Android phone to K9 Email client since I saw it had a Smartwatch app (extension?) that I downloaded from the Play Store. But it doesn't have a similar checkbox that you can check from you can check accessible from the SW2 control center. I did read that the K9 for Smartwatch only reads notifications from the Unified Inbox and to make sure that the "Hide Special Accounts - Hide the Unified inbox" setting under Display is not checked... confirmed it is not. I also ran across a setting in K9 under Interaction that says "start in Unified Inbox" hoping checking that setting may help. But so far, no email notifications.
I may need to brave trying Watchit again. This time trying to not accept all notifications but instead only choosing K9 email notifications. But very interested in any other suggestions and advice, especially from anyone that is using K9 as their email client.

I dont know k9, but i didnt get the stock email app (icon: envelope with @-sign) working with sw2 neither with watchit. Watchit only notified me when i was sending a message, but never notified received messages. So I had to start using gmail-app instead of that stock app (envelope with @ sign). Watchit also interacted with the stock app, and the stock app started to talk back to me when deleting messages.
If you use gmail, why not just using the gmail-app and that extension for sw2 instead of using the stock email app?

Dang, tried WatchIt again, and tried using K9 and then switching back to the stock email app. Neither seems to push notifications or WatchIt doesn't seem to catch the notifications. And then the phone froze again.
Do people using WatchIt see a white hand in their notifications bar on their phone. One shows up on mine, and when you pull down notifications it leads you to Accessibility > Talkback (even though Talkback is not checked and WatchIt - JB is checked ).
I am getting tired of having to restore from Recovery and rebuilding my phone. But not catching emails on the watch is a key use case for me... without it, I am returning the SW2.
I may try bringing it in to Best Buy and seeing if someone there can solve this. But I know folks on XDA are smarter than the BB people... so any and all help and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Seems like there has to be a way to see email notifications (POP3 via Comcast). Without it, the watch is less useful to me. I do have a GMail account and the GMail notifications work great (very useful since I use Google visual voicemail). But most of my email use is the Comcast account. Without being able to see those, I will look at Pebble, or even return altogether and wait.

I have the default email app working with watching. I have email and exchange services enabled. Not sure if that'd work for pop3 mail though as I don't have an account to test with.

Watchit
- no i dont see any hand on my phone (maybe it's something to do with the custom rom?)
- there is problem with Watchit and talkback. I think it's more android related than app related bug. My phone started sometimes talk back to me, but I got rid of it on this way: when watchit was activated in Easy accessibility, then I went to settings -> application -> all apps -> google text-to-speech and cleared data. It may still interact with samsung processes i think, because if I use stock email app (that one which has envelope icon and @-sign) my phone keep talking me back. I dont use anymore stock email app. I didn't get it to notify me about coming emails.
- right now im only using watchit to notify me about skype and sms forwarding.
Like I said before, if you use gmail, don't use stock email app (that one which has envelope icon with @sigN). Instead of it, use the other one "gmail-app" and it works great even withouth watchit or k9. With gmail you don't need k9/watchit because the gmail smart extension works fine. If you are using some other mail than gmail, then wait and see others to give their instructions. Just don't install the watchit anymore if it causing huge problems.

When you say "default email app", do you mean that one with envelope icon and @-sign? How did you get it to work? I have tried days with watchit but no.. Only notification I get, it is when sending a message and my watch notifies me "sending" ... "sent"

Thanks again. I will give up on Watchit. Is there a different Notifications app/extension that works almost as well as Watchit? I did see Augmented and while the cost really isn't an issue it sure looks complicated and doesn't have a good look (someone else described it as causing "eye cancer"). But willing togive his free trial a shot. But are their any others... eg Notification Pro, or eNotifier, or ?
If there was a way to have my Comcast email appear in my Gmail inbox I'd go that route. Or if I could get K9 to work, since it actually consolidates other email including Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

So you are rooted... that is helpful info, thanks. On which phone? I have been really happy with BoneStock and waiting to see if the dev offers a 4.3 version. Though also tempted by some of the newer 4.4 KitKat ROMs.

Hmm... a glimmer of hope. It appears you can send POP3 email to Gmail:

May be a bit klugey... but worth a shot.

Samsung adds a lot of their features by hooking into the accessibility settings, especially prior to 4.3. It messes with other apps that use the accessibility. Your best bet is to use a 4.3+ based rom so you can use the notification access setting. If you really don't want to do that then you can try Wristin which is similar to WatchIt, but it will probably not work right either.

Thanks for the response. The good news is some devs just appear to have cracked the Samsung/Verizon 4.3 OTA update and a first rooted unlocked ROM has appeared. Hopefully I will be able to at least move up from my stable 4.1.2 to 4.3. In the mean time I will try having my email all come in through Gmail. And research notification access services in the different phones and OSes.
btw, where did you see Wristin? can't seem to find any info on it/them...

[Q] Generic Question regarding Missing Text Messages

This is a generic question. I'm not looking for specific help tracking down the problem cuz there seem to be way too many variables. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced/noticed it. Or has any info numerous Google searches has not revealed.
So, every once in a while, a text message sent to me seems to not show up on my phone. The only way I know I got it is because Pushbullet syncs it to my PC and Firefox extension. But when I look in my messaging app (Google Messenger) it is not there. And if I do a backup using SMS Backup and Restore Pro it is not included in the backup.
So my phone must be receiving the message if Pushbullet mirrors it. Which makes me assume it is not a cell service issue. But it is not on my phone, messaging app, or SMS backups. Rebooting, switching SMS apps (tried 8SMS and Textra too), clearing app caches, etc. doesn't reveal said missing SMS's.
Background: Nexus 5, PAC-MAN rom 4.4 RC3, Google Messenger as main SMS app, various Xposed modules (but none that affect SMS), T-Mobile service.
It's only been a couple so far. But could have been more when my PC isn't on. And the reason I am concerned is cuz said SMS's are from pretty girls. So obviously I NEED to receive them
If anyone has any advice/info/sarcastic remarks/etc., I would appreciate it. Thxs!

I'd be looking at Pushbullet if I were you. Xposed is always a possibility.
Do the texts show up if you reboot the phone?

Haha, nice try

Update: reflashed my ROM, set everything back up from scratch (hate doing that) except for Pushbullet. Bought a Sony Smartwatch 3 and using Coffee to txt from it. Got a txt this morning, and when scrolling thru it on my watch noticed a message that was not on my phone again.
I'm wondering if it's Messenger at this point. Gonna switch messaging apps and see how that goes.

Try switching to hangouts or something, also do you set the setting for default sms handler in settings?

I've switched to 8SMS from Messenger. I also went back to stock 4.4.4 and didn't let Google restore any app data. Messenger was the default SMS app. The only time I ever switched it was to restore a SMS backup for whatever reason and switched it right back. I didn't check at the time of missing texts if the default was changed, tho.
I just think they must've been deleted for whatever reason since they didn't show up in a backup. Been on stock with 8SMS for a few days and haven't noticed it so far. Maybe just a weird glitch with Messenger and letting the app data be restored when I reset the first time brought it back? Idk.

Gmail sync problems

I bought Moto G 2015 three weeks ago, and phone has been upgraded to MM on first day of use.
I used Galaxy S3 for many years before and never had gmail sync problems, but now I have.
The problem appears in no push message that I have new gmail emails. Only when I open Gmail app or sync manually, I can see new emails.
I have many apps installed, such as Viber, Facebook Messenger, Mail.ru (another email client), all messages from them are recieved immediately. The problem is only with Google.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there some solution of this? All that could be done was done. I loose all hope to fix it.

For some stupid reason this is the default behavior of Gmail...
Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Google and turn the slider on for Gmail, should be good after that. Sometimes have to press the overflow menu and select "Sync Now" to sort of jump start it.

Of course I have Gmail slider on all time.
I send email from PC to myself and CC to my wife -- wife's phone notifies about new email immediatelly, but my moto G can keeps silence for many hours (or days?).

Had to ask... Many people have noted that is off by default, depends how you setup your device in the wizard.
I assume you have cleared caches, cleared data on Gmail, tried removing updates and reinstalling them, etc?

Yes, I did all of this abovementioned things.
I just added gmail account to another email client (mail.ru), and tried to send several emails to myself -- notifications come momentally!
It turns out that is someting wrong with gmail app? But the same version works good on wife's phone.

I've had this issue intermittently as well. It did not occur with 5.1.1. Seems to be a bug introduced with Marshmallow. I cleared the data of the Gmail app and that seems to have mostly cured it for now.

bug or feature? i had the same issue...
a battery saver function seems to be the culprit for me
settings > battery > menu > battery optimization
turn optimization off for gmail
it went back to getting mail that shows up in the middle of the nite
[i turned the battery saver off and still get good life
but i'm not using the phone for much now...]

I cleared cache of gmail, rolled back to firmware version, turned off battery optimization for gmail -- nothing helps me.
But yesterday I installed many others email clients, which work with gmail -- EVERY of them notifies about new emails monentally, but not gmail. And EVERY of them has battery optimization turned on..

Could this be related to Doze mode? When in Doze mode synchronizations are "dozed" and can be delayed up to 30 minutes, typically 5-10 though... Didn't even think of that

I send email to myself when phone is not in Doze mode, and there is no any notification. But others email clients work perfectly.

It seems that I resoved the problem!
Apps -- google play services -- manage data -- clear all data
Since I did this, I have every new email notification and sync! I tried to find solution all this time.
Battery optimization is on for gmail and all work as it should right now.
I hope.

Happiness was short. In a hour I send ti myself email and didn't receive notification. Went to google account sync settings and there was exclamation mark near gmail. Pressed to sync mannually and new email has come.
That's definitely problem with Google sync..
Nothing remains, but must install other email client.

Samsung email app disable notifications

Hi guys
I've been using the s3 since launch and it's been fine up until recently. I don't know if this happened when the gear app updated on my phone but lately the email notifications are playing up. I use the Gmail app for my personal mail and the Samsung email app for my exchange work mail.
The way I want it set up is Gmail notifications come through to my watch but work email doesn't. So I have gone in to notifications on the gear app and disabled email. This work fine for a couple of days but then it re enables itself. Does anyone else have a similar problem?
Cheers

Same issue here. The samsung app notification setting keeps kicking back on after I change it. Happens just about every 24 hours. Love to hear a suggestion to correct. Thanks!

Hi jvarny
To be honest I gave up trying to get it to work. I have tried 2 different phone's with both Nougat and Marshmallow Roms but still the same. I've uninstalled Samsung email now and just added my exchange account to Gmail. Works really well for what I use it for.

Hey guys, I use Blackberry Hub for my e-mail accounts and it works fine, I can enable/disable notifications for any of the accounts without kicking back in.
Never used samsung's e-mail app.
