In my case using current Gmail app (reinstalled) in a stock unrooted Nexus 4 or 2012 Nexus 7 running 5.1 Lollipop, Google Apps account. I've seen others complain of this around the web but no fixes.
Images show as broken icon, and can't be downloaded. Works fine in the Gmail web interface.
Anyone know how to fix?
Am I the only one?
Do you have your settings set to allow images to show?
There may be DATA saving features enabled to prevent images from loading prior to opening the message

Yes, always show images is ticked. Also have data saving mode in Chrome unticked. Restrict background data is NOT selected for Gmail app data usage. Is there anywhere else a data saving feature is set in stock Lollipop?

What exactly does the background data control? I turned it off & I tried loading a page on an app then closing to home screen and I can see from the status bar it does finish loading.
It controls things like checking mail, updating weather apps, facebook etc..
Basically it stops apps from updating without you clicking and telling them too..

Although it would make sense, I don't think this is true. Certain Apps still update when background data is turned off. I still receive e-mails and facebook notifications and weather updates, etc. So I am not sure the answer to the OP's question.

This.
Sent from my Captivate.
It doesn't completely stop syncing of things in the background; more like things like instant notifications when something is synced.
when on, it is always updating and checking to the cloud to make sure everything is up to date. When off syncing between accounts might take longer or done at intervals.
Anyone should correct me if I'm wrong though.

I recently bought the galaxy s7 (SM-G930FD), and it was already updated with nougat.
My problem is about battery, it is draining very bad, i'm getting 2-3 hours SOT in my usage.
I downloaded GSam Battery monitor and give it the permissions using adb, and found that (Samsung Cloud) is draining 35-38% the battery, It's weird because i did not activate Samsung cloud.
I already did everything possible to reduce battery draining (reset app permissions - turn off unused radio - lower brightness - power saving mode - disabling bloatware - ...... ) but nothing is working, and samsung cloud still draining battery.
How can i fix this issue? The device is new, If i bought it with nougat installed, should i have did a factory reset before using?
Disable Samsung sync?

All the auto sync features are disabled, and i didn't even open/use samsung cloud
Do you mean something else?
Log out from samsung account, clear all data and cache of samsung apps involved (samsung account app, samsung cloud). Then re log on your samsung account, after setting it back to your settings go to setting toggle, long press it and select "samsung". there tap on your email, sync everything you need like contacts etc. After this disalbe contacts, calendar, keyboard data and, more than all, GALLERY. Reboot and see if it fixes

It looks like I solved my problem by reading about push notifications here:
https://help.moengage.com/hc/en-us/...not-receiving-push-notifications-sent-by-you-
It got me thinking that GCM service in my Nokia 7 plus is not properly connecting with Google’s servers. So I looked around how to hard reset my device using this tutorial:
NOTE: [THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES FIRST]
http://www.techeligible.com/2018/05/27/unlock-pattern-nokia-7-plus/
select Wipe data/factory reset.
After restart configure your phone as a NEW DEVICE. Push notifications seem to work as they should. They are waking the device from sleep mode immediately.
This method will most likely work for all Android devices.

I really like this phone but the push notification problem just kills me.
When phone is in sleep mode push notification don't wake it up.
Just leave the phone on the desk for 15 minutes and send yourself an email from different device.
Same applies to WhatsApp. If someone sends me a message it can take half an hour before phone will show notification.
This is frustrating and apparently there is no fix.
I did even factory reset and the problem persists.
Tweaks like exclude app from battery optimazation don't work.
This clearly Android Oreo fault.
Google is so fixated to save battery that it castrates crucial functionality
+1 to the delayed notifications problem!
As you wake the device up, the Whatsapp icon also keep showing in the taskbar - "Checking for new messages" quite often.
that also happens at intervals while the device is ON & other apps are being run.
I hope this, the fingerprint navigation (left+right), battery SOT, stability will improve with proper update to Andro-P. and SOON!
Same problem here. "Heartbet" apps dont work either.
Same here! Maybe it's push notifications server problem?
pls. make sure that notification apps have permission to work in back ground as it may be restricted for battery saving

[SOLVED] First post.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gmail and WhatsApp are excluded in battery optimazation. It makes no difference.
Gmail is a Google app. It comes with system but push notifications are not working properly.
There in no other way to set apps to work in background. At least I didn't find such option...
Didn't work for me. Anybody else managed to fix this?

Anyone experiencing delayed push notifications on Android Pie?
Do you have location enabled (saving battery location setting)? Disabling location can cause notification delays.

I never really turn off location services. Is this setting you are talking about the battery optimization for apps? I can turn that off for location services.
I have 1062 with pie sideloaded and i'm not getting any push notifications from apps except for gmail. Factory reset and setting phone as new device didn't help.

1062 (if chinese with custom global rom) its not really possible to install Pie, its not stable in this one, Oreo still best for 1062

I had the exact same issue and it was really frustrating me. Resetting my phone didn’t help as detailed here. But finally after some playing around i fixed mine
In the battery settings i enabled Adaptive battery and then went into background activity manager. I enabled both auto activate and lock screen on all the apps i had problems with receiving notifications. Now i get all app notifications straight away with no delays

Is this for Android 8? I am having the same problem but I cant seem to find the auto activate and lock screen settings in the BAM. The only option is to blacklist. I am on Android 9.
That's a very frustrating one, very common 'feature' for all the Xiaomi bloatware. I thought 6 years later, they will finally fix the sync.
So basically, when the phone goes to sleep or at least I do not touch it for more than 5 minutes, the Gmail notifications do not get delivered unless I unlock the device. Sometimes even if I unlock it, the said emails do not pop up unless I open the app or manually click my Google account to sync.
Things I've done so far:
Check any sort of notification setting for the app itself and make sure I get the proper notification type. Also the app settings are all right.
Check the battery saver nonsense and make sure the app isn't limited in any way.
Check battery saver and make sure it is not restricting background usage for the app
Reinstall Gmail app using XiaomiADBFastbootTools
Remove and re-add my Google account to the device
'Locked' the Gmail app to the memory
Things I cannot do on this crippled Android version, but work for regular apps, are:
Set 'autostart' setting for Gmail. The app seems to be preinstalled and I cannot manipulate this option for it.
Your help is appreciated!
maybe you could uninstall the Gmail using XiaomiADBFastbootTools and later you install Gmail again from Google Play.
I'm having the same problem. I have to go into the app and refresh and so on.
Strange, never had such problems (with all apps) after configuring the data saver mode for the app. Gmail is working without a problem here
The problem seems to have gone away for the last 3-4 days, but I was mostly on data connection. No clue how. There were no system updates.
From time to time it gets stuck when I am on Wi Fi at home. Either never comes or is delayed a lot.
Most notably when the phone goes to sleep (more than 10 minutes of not touching it or not receiving any other notifications that might wake it up.
Have you checked the notification settings within gmail? Stock configuration is that it will only inform with important emails and not all emails. Maybe this is also part of the problem?
I like to stop background data and set battery use to restricted for most of my apps.
I spent about 10 minutes yesterday going through every app and turning off background data and setting the battery use to restricted, but after a reboot, everything is back to default, including apps I've previously enabled to install other apps (Google chrome, mixplorer, sai, etc)
Any ideas?
Here is something that I do to achieve a similar result. I use the app Ice Box to freeze many of my apps that I want to restrict. This temporarily disables them, but keeps their data. This cuts down on battery usage, background CPU/RAM usage, and notifications. Whenever you want to use one of those apps, you can just tap the icebox icon and it will show a panel of all of you frozen apps and you can just tap an app to open it. It does offer the ability to put shortcuts of the frozen apps in your launcher to make it easier to access them.
If you are rooted it is simple to set up. If you are not rooted, you can still use it with ADB permissions (works well with Shuzuku too), but you need to reissue the adb command anytime your phone it rebooted. Shizuku makes this step a bit easier.

Thanks @synesthete, but my use is different. I've used SDMaid and other apps to freeze apps for years, but that's not what I'm after.
For instance, I don't think Google Chrome needs to have background data when I'm not actively using it. I also think that there's no need for it to have "optimized" battery setting if I only want it running when I want to use it. There are a lot of apps that fall into this category that I'd like to be in control of.
So in short, I want to disable background data and set it's battery use to "restricted", which works right up until I restart my phone.
I hope this isn't some new "intended behavior", that'll suck.
Battery life is part of my concern - apps that are on the "restricted" list don't use as much battery, and I couldn't care less if I get notifications from most of them, but I still want to use them.
Background data is more privacy-concern. I don't think most of my apps need to call home and tell them what I've done in their app since last time it called home. My invoicing program for instance. I need that info synced, but when *I* choose for it to sync, not 14 times in the middle of the night when I'm not using the phone.

Yeah I understand your reasoning and I agree that many apps like that do not need background data or to even run run in the background. I suppose some people use web-apps/PWAs and push notifications in their browsers, but it seems that background data should be an opt-in setting for many apps.
It is very strange that those settings are resetting after reboot. I just tested it out with Chrome and Chrome Beta and the restricted setting survived a reboot.

Damn, ok, at least I know there's something wrong with specifically MY setup.
Hopefully someone will chime in with a reason and a fix.
Thank you for checking it out on yours and giving me input!!
I hate to double-post, but it's been a couple days and I was hoping that someone with experience in what my issues is would chime in.
tl;dr the initial post:
I set specific apps to restrict background data and set the battery use to restricted.
After a phone restart, the settings are back to default, including any 'disable over' and other permissions. My changes do not persist after a reboot.
