Also it is very slow when retieving/deleting email.
is anyone else having any issues?
Im definitely having the same issue. My email will also sometimes tel

Try a factory reset. It was taking SO long to push some emails from an account that is relatively empty so I just had about enough of that and decided to do a reset and everything is peachy. Instantly the emails started to load up into the inbox and 5 seconds later it was done.. Amazing!

I have the same problem. Any other than a factory reset? because reinstalling everyting and reconfigure all my phone that's a bummer.

I agree. Got a weeks worth of time invested in getting this thing set up and programs installed (and paid for).
Mine too doesnt do anything until I go into the mail program. It wont even save my changes I make in the email settings. I set mine to automatic, so they arrive as soon as i get an email, but it keeps going back to the 15 and 30 minute settings. This is my only issue with the phone.
Can someone who has done a hard reset try saving their settings to automatic, go into task killer , kill the email program and go back into email and see if it saved??
Instead of using the "email" program I use the "gmail" built in program and I get instant emails. But then again, I use gmail.
Same here. I use gmail for my personal account but for work I use the regular mail app on the phone. I also set up gmail on that app as well. The actual gmail app works great but my gmail account in the regular mail app doesn't--it will tell me I have gmail mail a couple hours after I have already looked at it in the gmail app and marked as read. Same thing with the work mail, things show up much later then they should.
Haven't found a way to fix it yet.
Are you guys using a task killer? If so and the email program is not ignored, the task killer will close the email app...which at that point is running services to retrieve your email.
In the same boat. I have both GMail and the Email program. Gmail is of course instant, however the built in email is horrible (at least with Exchange). I'm not killing it with taskkiller, and I've deleted and reset it up multiple times. I installed Touchdown and gave it a try, however it really didn't seem to make a huge difference. Unfortunately I think it's something we are going to have to endure until 2.2, which supposedly has Active Synch improvements.
I don't have experience with Exchange but really, a reset will speed up a lot of the loading screen "lag". That's the only thing that will.

And after the reset do you use a restore of titanium backup or do you have to do all resinstall manually and re-configure everything (like home screeens and apps)
The issue isn't so much loading screen lag, it's a long period of waiting to do anything (open, reply, delete) when navigation in the program. I'm assuming (more like guessing) that other phones simply make everything appear to happen instantly, and then perform the tasks in the background unlike on Android where everything is done real time.
For instance on my Blackberry and iPhone when I selected 5 emails and chose delete, all 5 would disappear and I could continue working. In Email I select the 5 messages, the program says Messages Deleted then I watch for 5 to 10 seconds as the messages are deleted one at a time, preventing any meaningful use of the program until the process completes. I've checked the Exchange logs, no errors or anything out of the ordinary. It works, just very slowly.
I had the same problem, but K9 instead. After a _lot_ of testing, gnashing of teeth, and pulling of hair, I think I've found the cause.
Email and K9 both appear to store stuff in the /data dir. This is the exact same location that others online have found to be drag-ass slow and the general cause for black screens and/or lag in general. Which pretty much describes exactly what was happening to me with Email and K9. Search here or at MoDaCo for more info on the lag issue.
The solution is to either hope Samsung can somehow fix the speed of the internal SD card or store data elsewhere. I'd be amazed if Samsung ever fixes the speed issue. And storing data elsewhere isn't an option build into either application. K9 might eventually have that feature added, but I doubt Email ever will. There's a potential fix shown at MoDaCo, but it involves rooting, updating the kernel, and partitioning an external SD card. Nothing difficult, but not for everybody.
Touchdown has an option to store data on the external SD card, so it shouldn't suffer the same problem. I haven't played with it yet to see if it does or not.
As for why Gmail seems to work ok, that's a little trickier. It stores under the same path as the others, but it appears to work in an asynchronus mode, relying more on what you have on the server and only checking the local copy if it can't hit the network. At least that's the best explanation I can come up with for why it seems to work much better than Email or K9.
I was using the Nexus One 2.2, with 2 different Exchange syncs and gmail... NO Problem at all.
Different story with the Captivate... Not rooted, with ATT bloat... hardly any other apps loaded, tried both popular loaders. The email is all most unbearable (and unacceptable), reminds me of the iPhone 3g, if not worse.
Hopefully we'll see a straight 2.2 build soon, or I'm really considering returning the phone (already sold my N1 for a chunk of change).. I have 27 days remaining for a return.
Stock 2.2 is the only way to go.
I'd love a stock 2.2 build! But... unless we get lucky with a major change in the driver for the internal (non-sd) filesystem, I don't think it's going to help with the e-mail issue (or the general lag/blackscreen issue) at all.
It's definately not the at&t bloat, I have mine rooted and all of the at&t apps removed. I definately think the data parition fx is the best route to persue.

You haven't tried a reset? The Email app syncs my GMail account quickly for me, however before I did a reset it was loading in my emails one at a time and was noticeably poor.
I just noticed a weird thing. I just checked T-mobile for data usage and found out it used data at time periods I did't even use the phone (working hours). Anyone having the same issue?
Got any apps or widgets set to auto-sync? That would be my first thought but 60mb seems like a lot for that to be the case.
I would call and ask...no way auto sync uses that much...

some app like email or facebook is syncing? If you don't want them to sync, turn off in options.
Also, did you check your wifi sleep policy? By default it is set to turn off when screen is not active. Change it to never option, to prevent cellular data usage.

Something like SugarSync could be uploading photos. Do you have apps set to auto-update through the market?
This is the problem with the Android phones and data plans that have caps. One app can suck up memory fast. It's so lame that we have to manipulate the phone so that we dont get ripped off especially when the culprit is the same apps that come with the phone. I shut off all syncing and updating plus I run Bloat Freeze and stop un-needed apps from running since I cant uninstall them...thx T-Mobile! I called T-Mobile on that also and they have no clue, they just told me to uninstall any apps I put on my phone and see what happens. So whats the use of over 100,000 apps if we cant even run a couple with out sucking the cap dry?

I have no mystery data use on my account. I have never had any kind of usage like this in the past year. I never shut off sync or updates.I run almost 100 apps and have never had this type of issue.
Try something like OSmonitor to see what is using network services....and don't blame Android . Guns don't kill people. People kill people....blah, blah
=(
Thanks for bringing to my attention the concern I should have ofr viewing my data usage more closely...
I checked my data usage and something startled me that added to a issue/concern I had earlier tonight. I did a factory reset on my G2x as I intended to exchange it tomorrow and when I booted it back my market app automatically started downloading all the apps I had installed (yes, I logged into my Google account in the setup screens)... I did a little research on the matter of turning this function off but it didn't turn up much of a solution. Is this really something that can't simply be toggled off?...
I don't want another 154MB download on my data connection (without my permission plus I would've opted to use my wifi to download such a payload) Though I will admit I did all this at work earlier. I thought I could disable it by doing another factory reset and then quickly kill the sync feature via the power widget after logging into my Google Account on start up. It seemed to work for a bit but when things at work picked up again I left my phone idle in my pocket and it started downloading the apps from the market eventually anyway!
I get the lesson that I shouldn't be doing that sort of **** while at work but this really shouldn't even be an issue to begin with. Especially with a carrier that throttles your connection after certain amounts of usage...
And perhaps for some clarification on my part, can someone explain to me real quick that if my T-Mobile account has Unlimited Web, what amount of MBs do they throttle your connection at?..
It depends on how recent you might have changed your web connect plan for the phone. If you have been an on going customer then it should be 5gb, me being a new tmobile convert its only 2gb. but while having problems with my original cell plan 2 cs agents have told me that I have the 5gb plan. Made no sense but not trying to push it lol.
That extra data you see is your phone backing itself up to the Google servers. You opted for that option during the setup. So.... yea.. not the phone's fault.

Yes. I have auto sync on all the time, but reviewing the past couple days, those two were the two that uses massive data. I'm not a massive data user, but this had me concerned. I only have Facebook, gmail, twtter, and lotus notes sync..

Just check T-Mobile again regarding the data usage. Weird activities again. It showed I started to use the date starting at 07:56 (I was sleeping!!) and on 9:40, 12:30 and 1:22, all have the same data usage.
Yahoo mail...
If you are using yahoo mail, you will see phantom data usage.
It effects iphone, WP7, and Android. Yahoo swears that it's the "other company's fault."

I don't have other email setup other than Gmail and company's Lotus Notes traveler. But I do have yahoo messenger installed....
Be aware if you use regular mail (not gmail) as it can poll automatically every few hours. If some of the emails have pics or audio file (or presentation), it can eat a good amount of data without notice. I setup all regular emails to poll manually to avoid this problem (and you have more juice for battery).
Some weather app and news widget can poll data for update too.

I have my company's lotus notes limited to 2kb each email, so the chances of getting over 10mb is really small. Besides, I had the same setup since Vibrant and didn't see usage like this before.

Well good for you man. You're just a smart android user aren't you? Just because you mastered the Android OS doesn't mean everyone can. Leaving everything on as you do does pull small amounts of data and this is what he is talking about. Android is still a buggy OS and problems will happen for some. I myself have seen data used during the night when I'm not even using the phone. What Android should do is ask you everytime it decides to do something that requires a significant amount of data this way we know where the data is going. There's probably an app I bet. This should be built into Android just as it is in Windows so yes Android is at fault.

I am having this exact problem! I have multiple phantom downloads of 80Mb, 145Mb etc. It's really pissing me off. I called Tmobile, but since my cell is the only number I have, I have to find a land line to call them from. They said they couldn't really help me while I was using my cellphone.
My email accounts are set to never sync. I use gmail and hotmail. I unchecked the "back up my data on google's server" when I set up my phone. I've always uncheck auto updates from the market. The only app that I have that auto syncs is tweetdeck and it's set to update every 30 minutes. On my Inc., it was set to update every 15. In 4 days, it says I've used over 1gig of data. I've never used that much in such a short time. With my Inc. I've had to try hard to go over 2gigs of data.
Anyhoo, I guess I'm off to a Tmobile store to use their phone to call back tech support.
Why is the last couple days my Gmail will not check for mew mail? Stock rooted with update done yesterday. I have to open Gmail and refresh and get all my mail I've been missing all day. Doesn't makes sense since it was working before the last couple days. I have 3 accounts setup to sync and none are working.

What the heck is gtalk? And whats it got to do with gmail refreshing on the phone. Ive never heard of gtalk !!! I googled it and came up a bunch of different things
All day today, no email. Manual refresh and a bunch of emails show up. This is annoying! I thought alot of my issues with the dell streak were solved by moving on but i guess i only moved onto different issues..... so annoyed

Google Talk. Google's chat service. It shows in your app drawer as "Talk". If you've ever noticed, when you access gmail on a computer, you're automatically signed into Google Talk. I was told a while ago in the past (when I owned a captivate) that Talk is what the phone may use to communicate with Google servers (makes sense), but not completely sure. By no means is gmail buggy or have issues because 99% of the time it syncs perfectly and without problems. My time period where it didn't sync was the first time it ever happened since I've had my Inspire (since February). My gmail has since returned to normal.
Do you have a task killer that's possibly interfering?
Are notifications enabled? (in gmail settings - "notify in status bar when mail arrives")

Still having issues with my Gmail syncing. I had no issues for the first few weeks I had phone, but now it is rare that push actually works. I have verified all settings are correct. I had issues on my iphone with email syncing also, so I changed to fetch emails every 15 mins on that to make it useful still. I don't see an option for that on the gmail app though.

That's really weird. The Gmail app has always worked for me, and very well at that (and on different devices). My GF's gmail app works just as well and she uses the Infuse. The only thing I can think of at this point is to go to the gmail application info page (via manage applications) and "clear data. Verify all of the settings again, reboot, and see what happens.

I do have advanced task killer but its not enabled at all. My gmail settings and notifacations are all set correctly.
Gtalk was logged in on my main account. I dont think that has anything to do with this problem though. I have 3 accounts setup and it worked fine for a little bit there before noticing the problem. If it was linked, i would have 3 loggins!
The gmail app has always worked fine for me also, UNTIL getting this phone! Sux

Well, good luck. Let me know what ends up working. Something will.
Almost every message I get with the built in email app using Microsoft ActiveSync with my office Exchange server comes 5-10 minutes after the message's time-stamp. Coming from the iPhone 4S & Galaxy Nexus where every message was delivered within seconds, this is becoming a major concern. The GMail app is better (though not perfect) as messages usually arrive within a minute. I tried playing with the settings in the Email app and made sure that push was activated for both peak and off peak hours but the issues remains. Does anyone else have these issues and if so, is there any way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

I've struggled to fix this as well. The only advice i've gotten was to try a 3rd party app. I still have my e-mail setup on my old iPhone and my iPad, both get the e-mails pushed within a second of each other. My HOX can vary between 5-45 mins before it gets delivered. I have several exchange e-mails, all of them exhibit the same thing. I have a similar experience on my HP tablet that is running CM9. Judging by the number of threads that have complained about this, it seems that iOS simply handles Activesync better than Android. I'm still enjoying everything else about the HOX.

I really hope so, hopefully a fix can be found soon.
there is nothing to fix, it's a feature called SmartSync.
Go to Email setting, sync schedule change it Push, default is SmartSync.
More frequent you open email app, the more frequent the sync.
Check your sync settings. HTC uses a couple different things with Sync to improve battery life. One of them is peak hours. It'll push during "peak hours" and then switch to every 2 hours outside of them. They also have a smart-sync setting that I believe will sync more frequently in relation to how often you open and close the actual Mail app.
Check those settings first.
Thanks, i double checked everything and both peak and off peak are both set to Push. The phone isn't throwing any errors nor is exchange management console. I'll see how it performs today and give an update. So far this morning it has been pushing pretty consistently.
As I said in my OP, both peak and off-peak are set to push and NOT smartsync. That's not the issue.
I've gotten it to recieve @ about 5 minutes but that's as good as it gets for now...
side note I've gotten some really good LTE numbers in ATL... 42mbps
Go and get Touchdown in the market.
Problem solved.
I had to disable the Gmail app completely for my Gmail account to work with Microsoft exchange through the email app.
It was giving me errors with my syncing but I had to use google due to the play store etc.

Yeah I'm having problems with my gmail account as well. When I check to see if its synced it shows a red circle and apparently the sync isn't working so it's not just about push email its the syncing to google account. Not sure what the problem is. Im thinking it has something to do with the WiFi connection. It might break and its causing interruption in the sync

I'm going to try leaving it on LTE for a little while...I have a feeling it might be an issue with the Wifi connection when the screen is off.
I'm experiencing a delay, as well. It's almost like Smartsync is still on even when it's off. My delays have been in the realm of a minute in most cases, but it's frustrating to hear new e-mails come in on my iPad and other phones and have this one get them last. It's such a great phone and this is such an important feature.
Quick update...If you go to your advanced wifi settings there is an option for Best Wifi Performance that is off by default. Since I enabled that, my push notifications seem to be coming in more quickly. I need to give it some more time to know for sure but so far so good!

This is what I did. So far, it's working 100%.
Please know, this will only work if you DON'T use the Gmail app.
1. Factory wiped the phone. Once started up, do not add your Google account yet.
2. Go into Settings and Apps and disable all your bloatware while you're here and make sure you disable the Gmail app. When you get out of it, it'll reload Sense. After this, go ahead and reboot your phone to be safe.
3. Now go ahead and go to Settings and Accounts and add your Google account. With Gmail disabled, it will not sync your email. Your choice if you want to sync Contacts.
4. Next, setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange via server method. Email and Username is your full email address. Leave Domain blank. The server address is m.google.com
5. When finished, set it up Push Email and not Smart Sync. If you did not sync your Contacts via Google, you can do it here also. Same with Calendar and Tasks.
Done!

I think you might actually be onto something. So far, I have been getting e-mails pretty consistently after modifying this setting. It will be interesting to see how much it impacts battery life.

K-9 is not working for me, but Gmail is. haven't tried changing anything yet, just hopped on to see.
Really need some reliable push email. Might ditch K-9 and see if the native client works, but k-9 worked so great on the SGS2, I went to it straight away.
I'm also having push problems using the native gmail app. I posted in the other thread so won't repeat here but just wanted to check in in case somebody from HTC or att is reading these threads.

Hello, I've had the unlocked Note 10+ for a few weeks and have had chronic issues since day one and not really sure what to do about it. A lot of the issues seem to get worse over time. Not sure if the problems are related, but it feels like it.
First, I have MMS issues mostly with any other app but the built in messaging app and even that one isn't perfect. Using Textra for instance will get me MMS timeouts sending and receiving and sometimes messages don't send or come in. This seems to happen with or without wifi enabled.
Next, I'm getting delayed notifications on many if not all apps. Notifications will some in here or there, then all of a sudden I'll get all the notifications for the day all at once. So suddenly my phone is going crazy receiving 50 notifications from different apps all at once. Related to that, if I get a notification and click on it to open the related app, often nothing happens. Then like an hour or more later the app I clicked on for the notification will pop open in the middle of doing something else. It will also get hung up installing or updating apps. A reboot will usually clear this but at some point it get's stuck again and will take hours to install an app if it does at all.
I've done all the usual things like disabling battery optimization for the apps in question, set the phone to high performance mode. Uninstalled and reinstalled things, cleared the cache partition, reset network settings, checked APN settings, even now have factory reset the phone, twice, got a new SIM card. Talked to Samsung and they tell me I need to mail it to their repair depot in Texas if I think it's hardware.
So no idea where to go with this. Seems hard to believe it's a hardware problem and sending the phone away for a week or more doesn't seem like a great option, especially when they might just send it back as it works OK for awhile after a reboot.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
After you reset the phone, did you install apps manually from store or let it go off a backup?
Also, just an idea but maybe the tower servicing you is acting up.. Unless it's been happening in multiple areas.

That is a good point, I did let it install automatically from the Google backup. It wasn't a true restore the way I would generally think of it as everything was installed from scratch, but maybe some settings are getting put back that are messed up. It happens out of the are as well, but I did talk to my carrier and they claimed the did some stuff at the tower that might help. I usually think that means they go get coffee then tell me to reboot the phone. Maybe this evening I'll try a fresh install with no restore. Sort of sucks of course as that's a lot more work to get going, but what the hell at this point. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I have a note 10+ myself now unlocked and seeing some texting issues where I don't receive text or mms from Apple phones. Hasn't happened with Android to Android though.

So none of that reinstall stuff helped me. On texting I finally tried the Google Messages app with chat features enabled when it was leaked. Messages alone didn't work, but enabling RCS did and now it actually works better than ever. I hate giving up on textra, but I like the sheer speed of sending giant MMS messages now.
On the notifications thing, the thing that finally got that working right was disabling the Google app. As soon as I did that, all is working as expected. Of course that breaks some Google stuff, but at the moment that's what I have to do to make this work. Even upgrading to Android 10 betas didn't allow me to turn that back on.
