Gmail push

Is anyone else having gmail push issue with this phone? I've had it for a week and it almost never pushes gmail. I've setup the Samsung email app, Gmail app and even tried K9. It works for a day and then the next moring I have to check it manually again. I've set the push sched in the samsung email app so that's not a problem. As I say, it does work sometime.

Just curious, what are your settings on the Gmail site? If you click the gear for settings, then go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP, is IMAP enabled? This is the best setting, and if it's not enabled it could cause the issues that you're seeing.

[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 ......

Email Notifications

Hi
I have a Samsung Note 3 and installed watchit which worked great with my SW2 to send email notifications (not gmail, just email client).
I decided to try watchify so I uninstalled watchit but that didn't seem to send email notifications so I uninstalled watchify and put watchit back on and now it doesn't work either. I also tried wristn and that also won't send email notifications even if I have it selected.
Is there anything I can do to get one of them to send email notifications as it quite clearly worked before but something is preventing it from working now.
Thanks
Stu

Go into Accessibility settings, make sure WatchIt is enabled.

It is definitely enabled.

Do you have enabled any powersaving options? Some batterysaver disable the connection. Othwewise there was the app from sony called email. It works fine. Or you take kmail with smartwatch extention for multiaccount.

I never changed any power saving options on my phone. As I mentioned, everything was working until I uninstalled watchit to try one of the other notifiers.
I looked at the Sony email but that doesn't work on non Sony phones.

There are some strange things with accessibility on all my phone. Sometime it stop to read notification. Often I must deactivate and reactivate to start work again. Other time I must deselect all other app in accessibility and revalidate one by one starting by the one I prefer....
I think that app wich work with "security" in place of "accessibility" works better.
Recently I installed a new app "AllNotify" and it seem works better than other my previous notification app, at this time I use just AllNotify and I deactivated Watchit to try.

Thanks. I'll have a look at allnotify

Mail count incorrect

Title pretty much says it all!
On my phone (Note 4) the unread mail count is currently one. On the S2, it is twenty-eight. Scrolling through the mail on the S2, I can see emails that I deleted days ago. Am I perhaps missing something from the settings?
(The emails relate to gmail and Google Apps mail)
Many thanks

I have the same exact issue. I emailed Samsung and they told me to do a factory reset to correct the issue as they have not heard of this bug from the latest update. A factory reset did NOT correct the issue. I believe the latest update caused the issue but convincing Samsung is another story. I was going to call them on Friday to see what the story is but does anyone else know what is going on here?

So I contacted Samsung technical support and they asked me to resync my bluetooth connection with my phone. Basically you just disconnect the gear s2 from the phone and hit connect again in the gear manager. It seemed to have worked for the first email deleted but not for any subsequent emails. I just tried it again and it is actually not working at all.
Because this is not a "software issue" they claim, the watch would need to be sent for repairs. I don't know what else to do but I'm not sending off the watch for repairs. If you are experiencing this issue, please call Samsung because they do not believe this is an issue and let us know here. If you AREN'T experiencing this please let us know as well...
The issue is that when you delete an email from your watch, it will delete from the phone CORRECTLY. However, if you delete an email from your PHONE it will not automatically delete it from the watch... causing you to have to manage the deletions on your watch manually. This was working prior to a software update recently.

I am not having the same issue, if I delete my email from the phone it does delete it on the watch. It will not delete it from the watch when I am connected remotely though, but it does remove it once I get back on bluetooth. This is exchange email through the normal android email system. Have you also tried deleting the email on either outlook or the web client and see if it updates the phone and watch that way?
One thing I do notice though that does throw my mail number off at times. If I do not receive the notification on my phone then I do not get that email on my watch. So far no matter what it doesn't seem to sync back to it. The only instance I have ran into with this is if I have my email application open and a new email comes in. Because the email app is open it never does a notification to my phone so the watch never gets it.

Thanks for the post. I reinstalled Gear Manager and it MAY have fixed the issue. I'm still going through some tests. The only way to get the emails to your watch all the time is to turn off the Limit notifications in Gear Manager > Notifications on your phone. I turned it off for the very reason of getting all the future email to go to the watch.

That's good that you may have got it resolved.
So for mine, I have already turned off the limit notifications option a few days ago. That works good so if I am using my phone the notification will still come to the watch, before I had turned it off if I was using my phone the notification would not come to the watch until my screen on the phone went black.
The problem is that if I actually have my email app opened up on the phone, and an email comes in. The phone doesn't give a notification because I had the app open already and see the email. At this point the watch never gets a notification for that email because the phone never did. So that email never makes it to the email app on the watch. Its almost like the watch didn't see a notification so the email doesn't exist for it.
This is not the same result for text messages, text messages still seem to sync correctly even if I did not actually get that notification on the phone.

Ahhh ok I got ya. If the app is open, no notification, therefore no email on watch. Nice. I wondered why Samsung decided to handle emails like this to begin with. It would have been easier to just read from the phone or something instead of this convoluted sending notifications of future emails. That way I could access all the emails at once as well.

Yeah I agree, not sure what the thoughts were with it either. Owell, hopefully they will have some tweaks to it. The good thing is that it really isn't a big concern. If I already saw the email on my phone before the notification came in then I'm not that concerned about seeing it on my watch. The situation just won't come up very often as I don't just stare at my email app waiting for emails to come in haha. Just more of thought it was an interesting way they did things. Would be nice to know how that back end for that is working.
Either way, maybe it is because it is my first smart watch, but so far I'm still loving it even with some bugs and a lack of apps.

I just got a s2 classic, I am experiencing the same issue, I delete the messages from my phone, and they still show on the watch, I have tried removing gear from my phone and reinstalling, but it did not work, I still have the same issue.
any other people have this issue and have any other advice on fixing it.
thanks

Wrong Samsung account associated with my S2 and apps unavailable

I got my S2 Classic yesterday and spent a bit of time setting it up. All was going well until I went in to the menu on the Gear app on my Note 3 and found that I was connected to my son's Samsung account. I have no idea how this happened as I didn't enter it at any point in the setup. I tried to see if there was any way to switch to my account but there doesn't seem to be. I decided to delete and reinstall the Gear app from the phone and factory reset the Gear but it's still the same. The only thing I can think of is to delete his Samsung account. He has a Galaxy S5 but says he doesn't remember setting up the Samsung account so I think I just registered the phone when I bought it and that's all the account has been used for. What would the effect be of deleting his account and, if I did, what would i do then?
Also, I have seen a list on here of apps which are compatible with the S2. When I look on the Gear app store there are a lot of them missing such as Gmail, GoSMS, Google Music and a load more. I wouldn't think that this is associated with the above problem but can't see why this would be unless they aren't available in all countries? I am in the UK.
I would really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

Can anyone help please?

The phone is using whatever Samsung account is on it. You will have to delete that account on the phone and put yours on it. You may need to factory reset the watch too. In the app side the disappearing app seems to be a common problem. The apps do need to be compatible with your phone as well as the watch. Good luck

Thanks for the reply. If I delete my son's account I assume that I will only de removing it from the phone and not deleting it altogether?

I removed my sons's account and added mine OK. Thanks for the help. Re the apps, is there anywhere where you can find out which apps are compatible with which phone?

Not sure on that. If you know the app you can post here and ask someone to give you the developers email address

The one I'm most interested in is Gmail and I'm surprised that I can't find that on the Gear app store. Is it not available on the Note 3 or is it that it's not available in the UK?

If you go to your gear app on your phone and then to notifications you can click on manage notifications ands select Gmail and any other app you want to get notifications for on your watch. try that

Yes, I ticked Gmail there when I set it up but I don't get any Gmail notifications at all. I also have Email ticked although I don't have that set up. I have tried unticking that but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I had assumed that I would need to download a Gear Gmail app, I take it that I don't?

Is Gmail set up on your phone? That's where the notification comes from. . There is no Gmail watch app that I know about

That makes more sense! I had been looking for a separate app for the Gear. I have now gone in to the Gmail app on my phone and turned on Notifications. This is partially successful in that it did start sending notifications to the Gear but it also beeped on the phone which was why I had set Notifications off in the first place. It seems to be a bit unreliable though in that only some of the emails are showing on the Gear. I have fixed the beep by setting the tone to be played as Silent. I'll see how it goes over the next few days with Notifications. I'll also re-explore the list of apps I was looking at as I am now assuming that those I thought I was missing are actually not Gear apps at all but Android apps which can send Notifications to the phone. Many thanks for your help with this.

Enjoy

how to find which samsung accounts are associated with my gear s2??
