Buy global model

When you say lag are you talking about delay in telling you have new emails or like the app is lagging?

What kids of lag are we talking? Do you get sms without any problems?

So far as I can tell SMS is within a reasonable period of time. I can open Gmail and it can take up to 10 or 15 minutes to populate..

OUCH..thats some lag for sure

I found a setting when in the notification system says an app is using power you can click on and it will ask you if you want it to stop closing different apps and you can go through and click the ones you don't want it to close.

After uninstalling the Gmail app from the Playstore and installing Gmail from the app gallery it seems to be working correctly.

Another Mirror https://www.file1.info/nstyXcW there is no other way for some tablet user (Nexus 7/10 or GTab2) to get the app, but it works on this Tablets.

As of right now it basically replaces Google talk and google+ messaging. Rumer has it that it is eventually supposed to also replace google voice and other messenging things like SMS.

Yeah, it is very beautiful. As of now, it is basically like a really cool ui update of Google Talk.
---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------
And updated Google+ is now live too
No contact status? No contact list that reorders based on contact status?
I rolled it back to Talk for now. I can't really stand having a huge list of everyone to whom I've ever written a Gmail. Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Thanks for telling us!
I have no ideia of this "update"
I can't see the big differences from the old app.
Can you send photos and videos or files with it like whatsapp? I haven't found a way to do it.
Furthermore I can't add a photo to my chat profile without having to add it to Google +.
And my contacts that I have pictures of in my contact book are shown without pictures in the chat since they haven't got a picture on Google+.
So far I am a little bit disappointed with these issues and whatsapp will unfortunately still be a more preferable way for me to send messages for a while longer.

"NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!" - From Google
I got it working when it released yesterday. I was having the same problem with it opening to Gtalk.
All I did was used TiBu to wipe data and uninstall Gtalk. I then went to the play store and installed it.

What is strange here is if you go to the Album app and select Settings/Cloud Accounts and press Add account it only lists (on my G3) Box and Google, nothing for any other cloud accounts.
If there is a way to add other accounts from the G3's main Settings/General tab/Cloud then please pass on how to.
Again the only accounts listed are a Box and Dropbox, why just these two!

Mine is running v4.21.20
And just in case the Cloud part of the a Gallery app is getting the info from the OS mine is running 10e-EUR-XX UK International carrier free.
I should be able to send you the Gallery app later tonight provided I get back in time.

Anyone using MailDroid?

MailDroid is my standard mail app, used it on many phones. But I'm having trouble using it on the Mate. When a message comes in the notification sound is cut off very quickly or doesn't sound at all.
The developer says the app works OK on the latest Android, but I think it might be related to the unusual Huawei chipset.
Is anyone else here using MailDroid?
I use it and it works just fin, NO notifications problems.

I am having the same issue. Any resolution? I have tried different stock sounds as well as my own; all get cut off or play for a split second.
Still no fix here. I thought it might be due to the Mate's very strict battery saving. But I've tried all the settings without success.
I know MailDrid's tech support were looking into it - perhaps you could drop them an email?

I sent an email to the Dev. We'll see what happens. I am like you, love Maildroid and have used the paid version for years. I have MD on my Mate8 and I do not have this issue with the notification sounds.
It's a real pain only getting a short beep, always a danger of missing emails coming in.
It doesn't happen with the built-in Mail app, but that is nowhere near as good.
If you hear something, please come back here. I'll do the same.

I emailed to the address on the Maildog Pro page on Android Play. Got a reply to say they are working on it. If you didn't get a reply I would try again.
They do have a forum but it seems to be disfunctional.

Thanks. I sent a follow-up email, still no reply. What are you using in replacement in the meantime? I tried AquaMail - seems ok. Blue Mail, Outlook + myMail look nice, but not customizable.
I really need an app that is customizable where I can have multiple accounts, be able to specify Reply-To, etc
I'm using BlueMail at the moment. As you say it's not as flexible but at least you can hear when you get a message.

Try this... activate notifications in the Gmail app. Turn sounds + icon notifications off in Maildroid. Place a Maildroid widget on your Home Screen which shows the badge count of new emails. When Gmail sound-notifies, open via Maildroid. Once the message is read, the Gmail notification icon disappears from Notifications Bar.
PS... still no response from the dev from my 2 emails.
Thanks! I'll try that, and give the developer another email

Still no fix or response from dev, There have been (2) updates to the app since our last posts; none fix the issue.
Yes, I've been following it. I'm not at all sure that this is 100% a MailDroid fault. Some other email apps are affected, some aren't.
I gave up. I switched to AquaMail Pro. Very similar and highly customizable. $4.99. No notification/sound issues!
Hi guys im using stock mail app but I don't like that it synchronize gmail,yahoo and Hotmail every 15 minutes... Is there any mail app that synchronize "on time"?

Gmail not pushing notifications

I'm new to Honor and EMUI and i'm having trouble with push notifications with Gmail, specifically that it seems to be completely broken and I only know i've recieved email when i manually unlock my phone and check. I've been all through the settings pages of Gmail and EMUI to make sure notifications are on and that Gmail is allowed to run in the background but so far i've not found anything that fixes the issue. It also seems that Gmail is a system process rather than an app so Gmail often doesn't show up in the various app lists for controling battery management/optimisations etc. I'm on EMUI 5 on my UK spec phone if that matters.
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks
Do you have unlimited data enabled for Gmail? My phone had that problem
Nope, that was not enabled. I'll enable it and see what happens.
Is your Gmail app the latest version?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Yup, everything is up to date. There's doesn't seem to be any real logic to it either, sometimes an email notification will come straight through and then another email minutes later wont. I'm pretty sure it's doing for Facebook Messenger too.

Is your Play Services the latest version? Because it manages the GCM notifications that Gmail uses.

I definitely dont get notifications during deep sleep, they only came through this morning once i'd turned the screen on.

Actually, I haven't exempt it from optimization because Gmail doesn't even show up in the list, I think because it's seen as a system process rather than an app.

This is the secure folder . Not dual messenger of any kind.
Google play service is an app required for Google play store to work and much more. So you can't do much towards it I'm afraid.

Looks like normal behaviour.
Mine shows 15hrs running in background but only uses 3% of my battery. I use Google messages and I think that's one thing for me that racks that time up.
