Gmail not pushing - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Been noticing lately on the S8+ that my emails through the Gmail app arent coming through. I'm receiving no notifications about them unless i open the app and pull it down to refresh. Was working fine when I first received the phone, not sure if anyone else is experiencing this? On T-mobile.
Only thing I can think is maybe something I disabled in package disabler but i doubt thats it. I didnt touch anything to do with gmail

Never had this problem, however for non Gmail accounts added to it, i.e. outlook, after deleting an email, a minute later, the email will reappear. It's getting rather annoying, especially when in deleting 5 at a time, they just come back and seem to go away after the 2nd deletion

I've had the same issue. If i delete them from the lock screen, they show deleted. Reappear for a second, buzz and then vanish. this happened on my stock nexus 6 as well so its not a GS8 thing.

Yes i also had a Nexus 6 and the problem was there too and also sorry I didn't read your post properly but I do get the problem you have. When I go to the app, pull the side panel which shows my email accounts, there will be a badge number over it and I have to pull down to refresh. Same problem happened on my Nexus 6 as well, most likely an app problem

hopefully its an app problem. they also need to fix that delete/double notification thing. especially when you delete like 10 emails, it then buzzes 10 times. super annoying

Any updates on this, I'm no longer getting push notifications for my Outlook account. I have to physically go and refresh.

Yea I am still not receiving emails unless I go in and refresh. This is weird because gmail worked on this phone properly, not sure why it randomly stopped. I tried to send an email and it got stuck on "queued" for a little and then sat on sending for a few seconds as well.
All other push notifications are working fine, instagram, facebook, snapchat, text messages, nest, etc... but gmail isn't working. Not sure if its something i turned off in package disabler? did you use that app at all?

update. i have no idea what i did but its working again.
i went into every gmail setting possible, turned it off and back on again. i forced my google account to resync. i disabled notifications and turned them back on. i disabled network access in the background, then turned it back on. ive tested it a few times by sending emails to myself. i also received a notification from a newsletter as well. it is working for now and im happy. hopefully it doesnt stop.

Yep, not sure what's happening with Gmail but I had this issue now on my Nexus6p....

next question, does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying double notification when deleting an email from the notification bar? if its on my lock screen and i expand them and then delete, it deletes and then a split second later it pops up again and vibrates then vanishes. same thing happened on my stock nexus 6

[Q] Push notification delays

Have you guys noticed any issues with push notifications like new email (Gmail)? For some reason I've noticed the phone reporting new emails and whatsapp messages that are old... often 10+ minutes old. And it seems like it decides to check for messages right after I turn the screen on to check the time or something, then they all come in at once. I have syncing enabled on everything and my N1/Vibrant/MT4G didn't have delays and I had the exact same setups...
I have open another post that I believe is similar to your problem. can you take a look?

[Q] Phone keeps vibrating

Can anyone explain me why my phone keeps vibrating time to time? The phone vibrates even if there are no updates to any apps, also i have turned off the haptic feedback. My phone is not rooted or anything. I have not touched a single thing in the phone. I have added only 2 gmail, 1 hotmail, 1 facebook and 1 twitter account. In background syncing I have enabled all these accounts and weather and pulse news. But I had this vibrating issue from the first day even before ading any other data except 2 gmail account.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

WhatsApp - Notification issues

So I had a Note previously, WhatsApp worked perfectly fine.
I notice now that there are a lot of weird notification issues now. I ran some tests and this is what I've found.
Screen On - Clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. Meaning, WhatsApp is not running in the background, not running at all. I use my girlfriends phone to send me 10 + messages. I get NO pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing happens. I then launch the app and see that I have 10+ unread messages under her name. I click to read the messages, and exit back to the home screen (either back arrow or home button). I send another message from her phone, and NOW I see the notifications.
Screen Off - (sleeping but app is still in the background) - I send a message from her phone, get NO push notification. But... as soon as I hit the power button to light up the screen (wake from sleep), I get the notification in the bar. I read the message, clear the notification bar.. then put the phone back to sleep. Same thing happens. While the screen is off, I get no push notifications until I turn on the screen.
Anyone having weird issues with WhatsApp? It can't be the app because it works perfectly normal on my Samsung Note. I'm thinking ICS broke it some how.
The notifications works fine for me with whatsapp. The only thing is that when I hit clear in the notification bar and haven't read the actual message, the notification will reappear again.

Same thing here just happened with me on my HTC ONE S , if screen if off and whatsapp is running i get no notification, however as soon as i press the power button immediately i get notified and the weird thing is the notification sound is the default ringtone while in whatsapp settings i have another tone set. Whatsapp was working fine. I tried reinstalling, force stopping, rebooting.
My phone is stock rom no root any help would be appreciated
EDIT (SOLVED): Disable Fast Boot under power options in settings, disabling it fixed my problem (Read it somewhere online)
I have problems with notifications when wifi is on. No problems w/out wifi
I have exact same issue on my Xperia Arc...with or without Wifi...I have ICS 4.0.3
I think it is phone independent issue...
i think you all should stop closing all apps from the task manager and everything would be fine.
you cant shut down all apps and then expect from them to work.
(at004 solution could help too)
Sorry to revive this thread, but I have a solution to the problem (I think) and I thought I might share it.
Some routers flag push messages as "Anonymous Internet Requests" which the NAT dismisses. This will effectively kill push and you'll only get your messages on the next sync.
To counter this problem you can forward the google push port to your phone.
You'll need a static IP for the phone. The port Google uses for push messages is 5228 on TCP.
Good luck with your problems!
ahh.. i got the notification problem.. there is no sound or vibrate for incoming whatsapp messages..
this happen affter i update the apps.. damn!

This happens on my brand new nexus 4
This used to happen way back when I first got my One X, but it is solved now. I thought it was because I had rooted and gone with a newer build, but I got a replacement One X stock with 2.20 and notifications work fine when screen is off.
Same issue in my nexus 4
I'm facing the same issue in my nexus 4.But this is applicable to the application which having the same properties of WhatsApp.For eg Viber.
When we are in the screen of Whats App and Viber i'm getting the notification otherwise not..
I also noticed one more thing unless we open the application the data notification in the signal bar is idle. I don't why its like that.Usually it should be always active.

Same here, with the same phone and running CyanogenMod 7.2.0.
Also seeking help on the same issue.
Seems there's no point to use this "instant" messager with this defect.
Go and complain with the makers of it as you have paid for it and using a custom ROM is 100% supported...
This is a users forum guys. If you install custom ROM some things may not work as on stock ROM.
We share experience and knowledge but not complaining about the product or demanding for a solution.
Go to WhatsApp website and tell them about the issue. I doubt they read this post.

[Android M Preview 3] SMS Issues

I'm not sure where else to post this and I'm having trouble finding anyone with similar issues over search! So I don't know if it's a Preview 3 bug or if I'm going crazy.
Straight to it - my text messages are disappearing randomly. I had an entire text conversation last night using Hangouts and today those messages are all gone. I had a new text this morning that I could see when first opening Hangouts in the preview spot, but clicking on the conversation shows my last sent message from yesterday at 4pm. Nothing after that. Messenger app shows nothing past that either.
Initially I had dirty flashed Preview 3 over Preview 2 and had this exact same issue right away, but I wiped and clean installed Preview 3 the same day and haven't had a problem until today. I also noticed if I switch my default app to Messenger, I can't send any messages. It just immediately tells me 'touch to resend' and it doesn't even try to send. Hangouts messages go through just fine but they are still disappearing right after I send one, even.
Pushbullet was doing the exact same thing with disappearing texts previously but they were all still there on the phone so I thought maybe that was messing with me, but I have since uninstalled it and the issue is persisting. Rebooting my phone makes no change.
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6. Only on Android M DP3, too. Also, I can't send SMS messages either. I hope there's an easy temporary fix until Google fixes it.
Same

I have the exact same issue... I tried clearing hangouts and messenger cache and data, still not working... I'm not sure if a factory reset would do it.. has anyone tried that?
I'm having the exact same issues, the only way I have been able to fix it is by using texted sms Google needs to get this sorted asap
I haven't had any issues. Are you flashing zip versions or fastboot img's?

I have had the same issues. I can see the text in pre-view, but then it's gone.
Only way for me to get texting working again was to disable both Messenger and Hangouts and loaded another SMS app (textra)
Now my texts are reliable again.
There are reports on the Hangout forums that Google is working on the issue.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/GI_GoaFWzRI;context-place=forum/hangouts
I'm having exactly the same issue (with stock Messenger and Hangouts).
Yesterday received some texts which I later noticed weren't in my list of messages. Only noticed the missing texts when a text I was trying to send was repeatedly failing..
I also updated OTA from dev preview 2, Nexus 5.
Will try a third party app temporarily...
I too am having the same problem on Preview 3 on my N5. It seems to happen in both Hangouts and Messenger. Text seem to randomly disappear from the conversations, sometimes entire conversations are deleted.
SMS Fix
Reboot to safe mode and then send yourself an sms. After rebooting to normal sms should work correctly.

That seems to work, even though in safe mode I don't have access to a messaging app (neither Hangouts or Messenger are available), I sent one to myself, and then rebooted, and now Messenger seems to work. Fingers crossed that it keeps working. Thanks!
That link is nor viable. How do I reboot to safe mode?

Thank you google.
Use safe mode to find problem apps
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You'll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally.
Pushbullet might be the issue
Found this issue this morning with my Nexus 5 with Android 6.0 preview 3...
After a quick search, found someone saying that uninstalling Pushbullet and restarting the phone would fix it, and it did for me actually!
If you guys have Pushbullet installed, give it a try. Hopefully Pushbullet will fix it soon!

Did you suddenly receive messages you were missing or did it just allow new messages to be visible again?

It just allowed new messages to be visible, I didn't get back any of the old texts that had been lost.
Good call. Yep looks like Pushbullet was the problem, not hangouts.
Uninstalled and loaded up Mighty Text. Hangouts working fine so far.
I had to deactivate Pushbullet SMS sync and send myself an SMS while in safe mode.
Jeez, I'm wondering how many SMS I didn't receive... that's really bad !

Mi Note 10 Lite, Global MIUI 11 ROM - Push notifications from Gmail Problem

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?
