I am not sure if this is just a glitch or not, but it appears my Gmail app on my phone is no longer syncing.
Notifications are not being sent either. It seems to have started today randomly. I would have to go into Gmail app, back out into the "Inbox" for it to show that there are new messages. Otherwise, it would not refresh at all.
This happens on both WIFI & 3G/HSPA+. I'm using stock everything.
Any suggestions?
I haven't had Gmail sync properly on my phone yet. With my Galaxy S I'd receive emails within a few seconds of them being sent with push notifications. Now with my Galaxy S2 I'm lucky if I get a notification within an hour.
EDIT: Looks like after a manual refresh, the first message I get will get a push notification, but after that it seems to take ages before I'll get another notification.

Hey! I have a rooted Thunderbolt (Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, using Imo's 2.7.0 leanKernel), but I have the LauncherPro app and I have my dock display my calls, messages, GMail, as well as a shortcut to the browser.
When I installed this about three weeks ago, my SMS notifications used to work (when I get a notification, a little red notification bubble came up next to my message icon, which was customized, and so are the rest of my dock icons), and then it stopped working - once I installed SMS Go, it started to work again for a bit, and then stopped.
So for two weeks I sort of just accepted that, and then for some odd reason my GMail notifications stopped working... I would get e-mail, and it would say "Inbox (1)" when I click on the GMail icon to open it up, but to see it I would have to refresh and then it would pop up and then if I went to the home screen, the notification bubble would return. These notifications used to be instantaneous; I sent myself a test e-mail and waited for hours, and after doing several test e-mails, I realized sometimes (not all the time though) the application, even after an hour, was not recognizing I got mail until I refreshed.
I tried changing setting to check mail often, made sure on LauncherPro's preferences I set the notifications to be on... I am just unsure why my notifications would stop working (and my GMail is slowly going to crap - I even uninstalled and reinstalled, did not help).
Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions for this weird problem? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - does anyone have any suggestions? I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling GMail again with no success.

Check under accounts to make sure that sync is still on for your Gmail account.

Go into Settings > manage apps > all. Open the Gmail icon. Click on "clear cache " and "clear data ". Ignore the warnings. Return to home page, and open Gmail. It will resync, and your problem should be solved.

I've had gmail bug out on me about three times total dating all the way back to my OG droid. It always happened after flashing a new ROM even with full wipes. My situation was a little different (basically if I "deleted" a email in the gmail app it wouldn't actually delete. It would never resync to my phone but I still would get a x amount of new messages. I would then log into my gmail on the pc and there are all the messages that I had "deleted") I solved this once by just clearing data and cache, but the other two times I had to do a wipe and reinstall. What was interesting though is each time I back upd my current Rom and used that on the restore and bam it was fixed.
Is there any way I can change the frequency of when the GMail app checks mail/forwards them to my phone?
through the gmail app itself no. You could use the "mail" provider on the phone and receive gmail that way. In that program you (i think) can set up the frequency that it syncs. A couple of downsides to this though:
1. unless it has changed since I haven't tried it since the OG droid, it won't delete emails off your web based account only your phone.
2. you would need to delete the gmail app on your phone.
Hi there,
i am using the email app to collectively get yahoo and gmail account emails.
However, some of my messages just disappear as soon as I read them from the notice bar.
It seem that emails read thru the email app -- directly -- stay there.
There are no options, or none i can easily find saying to delete messages from server or anything, but *those* messages also disappear without trace from server as well.
I experienced this with gmail as well as yahoo mail. just this morning the last time.
I am using v1.6 of ressurection remix, will upgrade today to 1.8.1, however, i think this might not be rom related as i think it happened in the past with other dev roms.
Any thoughts on this? For now i just disabled notifications in system bar and see if still happens...
thanks for any idea on how to fix this.
It seems i was too fast to upgrade. the data doesn't seem to connect to telus' 3g/h+ network anymore.. in device status, mobile network state keeps saying 'connecting'.. After a while it reads 'disconnected'.
I guess i will just have to wait and see what other 1.8.1 upgraders have to say.
Is there any way to force the GMail app to download email as soon as it arrives, rather than waiting for me to go into the app and look at it, and wait for it to download at that point? The standard behaviour is a waste of my time!

It does download emails fully when autosync is enabled. Sometimes going into the app doesn't load the mail immediately and it looks like it's downloading, but you'll see that if you go back once and return to the mail it loads immediately. That's a bit annoying, but it's not downloading the mail only when you view it, that's for sure. If you're asking about Gmail delivering push emails without autosync enabled, then that's not possible. It has always needed autosync to be enabled to receive push emails, otherwise you have to go manually and refresh to see new mails. I wish that Gmail could deliver mails without autosync, like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenge, but it can't right now.
Yesterday I noticed that Gmail on my S2 is not syncing automatically. I cleared data (the usual procedure) and that fixed it.
Today I notice something new: when I receive a new email and I get the Gmail notification at the top, the notification disappears as soon as I open Gmail even if I didn't open any new mail yet. For almost two years the notification used to stay there until I cleared it. What the hell is going on?
Hello. So I currently have my work exchange email and gmail setup on my phone. They are set to sync every 15 minutes. When I get a new email it shows in my notification bar on my phone as expected. However, if I look at an unopened email on my computer and don't touch my phone the notification will stay there on my phone and it will never update as being read no matter how long I wait. I.e, even though it has been read on my computer the email continues to stay in my notification bar as being unread long after the 15 minute refresh interval. On my previous HTC phone when I read it on the computer it would remove it from the notification bar on my phone showing there are no new emails to be read. Is this a glitch on the G3 or working as expected? It's a huge pain to have to open the email on my phone or swipe it away in the notification bar when the message has already been read elsewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks!
What software are you using for email? I use K-9 and don't have your problem. This isn't a phone issue, it's an email client issue.

I'm using the stock email app. I'd prefer not to use K-9.

Well, I can also verify the problem doesn't exist on the GMail app. And just as a test I temporarily defrosted the stock email app and tried it out as well and didn't see your issue.
Sounds like you've inadvertently done something to your phone to cause the issue. It's not a problem with the stock email app and it's certainly not hardware-related. Check and see what you've installed and configured on your phone and see what might be bringing this about.
If all else fails you can always factory reset your phone. :crying:
