[Q] Mail notifications stopped

My new mails notifications stopped?!?!?! Huh? Any ideas?! I have to manually go into the Gmail app and click Refresh to see my new mail. I'm on WiFi.

Funnily enough mine have not been working lately either.

I've just fixed mine. Try this: Settings, Accounts and Sync and make sure your gmail account has a green circle at the end of it. Mine was greyed out so I clicked on it and sync everything, now it works. Also make sure you have set up ringtone and vibrate for the account you want to use.

I checked that earlier... that's not my problem. It seems like it takes a really long time though. Is there a way to decrease the checking period. Is it push based mail? Or does it have to poll?

AFAIK GMail is push email
Sent from my HTC1S

Was it working and suddenly stopped notifying? If that's the case, try erasing cache and data for Gmail app inside Settings->Apps->Gmail. You'll have to reconfigure Gmail itself (not the gmail account), but it will probably fix your problem.
bye!

I turned off sync and turned it on again and that seemed to work. The push seems to be really slow though.

It seems very some time-ish, I'm watching my notifications very carefully now. Most messages I received took about 2 mins to get to the device... I'm currently waiting on one now near 5 mins.
It looks like Google waits for atleast 2 before they push the message though. Also, I notice that it doesn't seem to push notifications while I'm on 3G/HSPA.

Just replying for me own use... I'm in Jamaica, using Digicel's network. The solution was to just use an APN with web.digiceljamaica.com and no other settings (except APN TYPE as default). No username, no password, no proxy, nothing else.

Windows Live error 8600050C

Hi,
Is anyone having problems syncing their Windows Live primary account on WP7?
Every time I try I get a Windows Live error message along with the error code: 8600050C
I can sync emails on my PC's Windows Live Mail application, but not on my phone
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

I'm expiriancing the same errot today on my Windows phone, when trying to check for new messages.

Mine now appears to be working..
I turned off WiFi and tried Data connection(which I tried earlier today but didn't work, might of been because my connection was weak), then it started syncing, so I turned it off, reset my router and tried again from WiFi and it now works.

This is just a pain in the royal @#@! Every once in a while this happens and it's starting to get on my last nerve. Why does this happen? Like just now I can't get on Facebook and no error code it just keeps saying that it needs my attention, WTF?

Oh this is just great; now I'm getting a Oops! we're having a problem that we can't solve at the moment. try again later, what the ???

Happened out of the blue last night when i was using facebook.
It popped up about incorrect password and Live ID need attention.
I went to setting > email account and checked the password. It wouldn't accept the correct password (I was able to log in just fine on PC with that account)
This morning facebook says it's not up to date and gives error 80072F7D
I see this problem everywhere. Seems like a lot of people is having it. Dunno what's happening to MS

Same problem started today also for me
I'm hoping this is a Facebook error and not a Windows Phone error!
I've read that hard resets don't solve this. This is leading me to believe Facebook made some changes and didn't consider Windows Phone connecting.

Actually I just heard over at Windows Phone Central that it's a big problem and just about everyone is going through the same BS. Everyone is venting Here.

any news yet??? my live id account still say attention required
I've entered the correct password. It says synchronizing and attention required again.
It's very unlikely that password is incorrect. I tried entering an incorrect password and it immediately said password incorrect without synchronize (not being back to the account list saying attention required)

Everything works fine for me, Facebook started working again 11 am

yeah, facebook worked for me too, but i still can't get Live ID to work. It's strange that I still can download app from Market Place and open Xbox just fine. But email + accounts says it needs attention!?

I had those same issues before; the only way i was able to make Windows Live and my email start working again was to delete them from my phone and reinstall them.

Mine is sitting in Samsung bootloop. Installed full A06 and then flashed twrp and wiped system dalvic and cache and intalled rom . Am I missing something ?

2nd flash did the trick.

Dumb question where do I get themes for this rom ?

No themes have been created for this rom. MOAR is a good rom with a few themes built for it though.

Wifi calling not working
wifi calling sometimes will connect, but if it doesn't connect, there is no way to get it to retry or have it even connect. it just doesn't work

Is that a question? Sometimes it never worked right on stock for me either.

Half the time your wifi calling fails is due to sprint bringing down the wifi calling servers... You should join the sprint forums also to keep an eye on the wifi calling server status.
If it's server related usually it reconnects on its own, but in the notifications panel there is a wifi calling icon you can toggle, or you can toggle wifi out-right to force a handshake...

Have been using since posted. yesterday system ui kept force closing with error message. Tried to factory reset and clean install. It worked briefly then same error message and instability. Had to go back to stock deodexed. I hate pop up messages but can't risk the same problem again with this Rom. Any ideas?

Not sure, I've flashed this version and 2 newer ones and I don't get any fc. I would need to see a logcat.

Cant flash 1.4.1
i try to flash 1.4.1 with twrp 2.8.6.0 and it says extracting files and then moves to installing busybox and all the other stuff and says finished, but when i reboot, i get stuck at the galaxy s5 splash screen and then it forces a reboot back into recovery. I have done clean installs and everything and it is not working.

Not sure man, you're the first one who's posted that issue

@tdunham , any thoughts on why system update isn't showing up in settings for these guys? I have it on my phone, but no one else has it.

Not sure, I've seen this happen before but don't know why its doing it.
Maybe they need to format internal storage as part of the wipe to make sure they're really getting a true clean install?

It's possible. I've seen it before too, it happened when I did a dirty flash but a clean flash fixed it. Kinda weird.
You guys should try what tdunham suggested and backup your internal storage and wipe it as well.

Metal Butter!
Thanks for the groovy ROM * I tried TN's ROM, MOAR, and several others. This is looking like the one for me, finally! I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into making this available for us all! BS/BD *

sms/mms timestamp/sequence issues?
This ROM is amazingly great, first and foremost! After running if for a day now, I'm noticing an issue with incoming text messages. I send a text (time stamp is proper), recipients reply (time stamps are off by an hour earlier). The incoming text messages appear before the original messages I've sent. This is happening with multiple contacts. I tried Handsent 3rd party SMS software, issue seemed to resolve, though I'm not a huge fan of their pop up ads. Also tried 8sms, the ordering issue reappeared. Each 3rd party app was set as the default accordingly. I tried going back the the original pre-loaded messaging application and still have the out of order issue with relies from contacts.
Is anyone else having this or a similar problem? Are there any known fixes besides installing 3rd party messaging apps from the play store?
I did restore messages from my previous ROM's backup, using Super Back up. There were a good # of texts too (over 1k). Those all restored no problem, but this issue of the new texts coming in before my most recently typed message seems odd.
Thanks for any feedback/suggestions/solutions that anyone has to offer!

Thank you! I have that issue with texts sometimes too. It really just started a few days ago. Seems network related.

I'm inclined to agree, I've started to see sent messages send then appear in the wrong order recently. You can also use Google stock messenger that has no pop ups

Problem with apps
After installing MetalRom, have been unable to install any apps from the Play Store. After rebooting, it will begin downloading the app but at either 90% or even 100% download, it will stop and not finish the download or install the app. After that, if I cancel the download, it won't even begin to download any apps after that. It just has that preparing to download. Has anyone else ran into this issue and figured out how to fix it?
Along with that, I was not receiving any text messages, even ones sent to myself

That's a strange one. Try clearing the cache for the playstore, and updating profile and prl. Clear cache for download manager as well.

Thanks for the quick reply. This does require gapps to be installed, correct? And I was able to receive a few text messages but I'm not sure what caused them to come through, but I lost the ability to send any. I did try updating the prl and profile but nothing was happening when I hit the buttons for updating them so I don't think that worked. I've been receiving error code 97 which is usually only a problem for people with Airave so I'm not sure what to make of that.

No, this is touchwiz based, gapps are not needed, and should not be used.

Gmail app not syncing on S7 930F!

Running my 930F with the latest BTU firmware. The Gmail app is not syncing emails. It is whitelisted so no dozing etc. I have to manually sync every time.
Anyone have any solutions?

Never had the problem, but if you haven't already just check Gmail App Settings then tap your Gmail address make sure under data usage Sync is ticked also the number of days to sync isn't set a 0 and also Settings > Accounts > Google and make sure Sync Gmail is turned on there as well, if it is turn it off for a moment then back on to see if it resets, if its off then turn it on.
If these are both on then auto sync should work

All settings are correct, but sync still does not work properly. I get emails hours to days after, unless I manually open the gmail app and pull down to sync.

Anyone else experiencing sync issues with Gmail app? This is really annoying!

Yeah mate, im having the same issue.
It's pissing me off bigtime.
seems like samsung hyped the **** out of this new phone. And all the youtubers and reviewers talked it up as if it was made of gold.
but to me, it's been nothing but a piece of **** the whole time.
Wish I'd never sold my S6

I think I may have just fixed mine.
Thanks to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/mail-sync-issues-t3344726
I also went through and disabled optimization for facebook, messenger, viber and messages.
I figure any app that needs to be able to sync on the fly, shouldnt be restricted.
Did an email test and received within 5 seconds.

Gmail sync issue

Anybody else having issues with Gmail not syncing? Sometimes a random email will come through on time. Most times I have to open Gmail before new emails will arrive. I've cleared data. Using unlocked Note 10.

Go to Battery optimization in Settings. Gmail would be optimized. Just toggle to unoptomize and that should solve the problem.

Yeah thanks. I finally found an article talking about the battery optimization setting. Looks promising so far.

Thanks I was also having that issue now resolved

I'm also having this problem to the extent that I've repacked the phone ready to return to Samsung for a refund. Over the past 3 days, I've tried each of the optimisation settings and no matter what I do, some emails still don't come through.
I've read a lot of S10 owners are suffering the same problem.
Please let me know if any of you have successfully got The emails to sync correctly.
Thanks

Did you go under Special Access-Optimize Battery Usage? Select All. Then find Gmail and toggle it off?

Check that whether your gmail is working properly in any other phone or not. It could be a gmail server issue.
Something similar happened with me about a year back & ultimately it was a problem at Google's end.
If nothing works, do a factory reset and try again.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to unbox the phone and give it one more go., I tried so many different configurations, I may have missed that one.

Unfortunately it's still not working. I've got an S7 next to the Note 10 and I'm sending emails from an iPad. The S7 receives them straight away, the Note sometimes takes a minute and sometimes won't receive them at all until I go and open up the app.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Did you factory reset it?......also is your phone on some power saving mode?

Yes. I've factory reset it twice over the last couple of days. It's currently in 'high performance' power mode.

Also having the same issue and have tried all the steps above. Super frustrating when your company utilizes Google Enterprise.

I tried every suggestion to get it to work, but none worked for me.
My solution was to just use my Gmail account with another email app. I'm now using outlook express and I'm very happy with it, it works perfectly now.
