[Q] Gmail App won't auto sync (fetch) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have to hit refresh in the Gmail app to see my new emails. I checked all of the settings and they seem to be right.
Background data checked
Auto sync checked
Google account all checked to sync
Gmail App notifications checked.
I'm using RevoHD V6. I reinstalled the rom with full wipe and it made no difference. Everything else seems to sync fine.
Can anyone help?

I have exactly same problem like you. Sometimes my gmail is late to push emails up to 20min from the time the emails were sent. This happened since before I used SGS2, I think something is wrong with the gmail push server on Android. Because on iOS, the push works great
I hope we are not the only people in xda who have the same problem :/

same problem here. Since I updated to lpq google mail wont sync anything. Not even after hours. Only if I load the app he will show me new mails. Sync is enabled and everything checked within google account. Doesnt work with both 3g and wifi. Any ideas?

I solved it...tried a few different thing and dont know what exactly helped but heres what I did:
1. With Titanium Backup (will also work with free version) clear data of Google Play, Google Mail and Google Services Framework.
2. Reboot
3. Everything works fine

Hi there.
I have the exact same issue, but even doing all of this won't work.
I really need help there.

Try deleting your Google account from the account menu, restart and then log in to your account again.

[Q] GMail app from phone to google not syncing properly

I recently upgraded my to the xtrSENSE 5.0.1 ROM and now I am having trouble syncing the GMail application.
Google to phone works correctly, but phone to google does not. The actual emails come through fine, but things like read/unread or archiving messages do not.
I have cleared the cache, reflashed the ROM, cleared all data for the GMail app and still no change.
I have apps2sd and cache2sd enabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I connected over WIFI to see if that would work correctly (originally was using 3G) and it worked from phone to Google as I expected. Switched back to 3G and then it worked again! Who knows but if anyone has this problem try connecting to WIFI then back to 3G to see if that fixed your problem.

It's good to see that you have it working, but one other thing is that in xtrSENSE there is an app called Gmail Storage. Clearing data from that will help restart the syncing from scratch.
Also, I have noticed in the past that there are times in the 2.1 version of gmail where it just doesn't sync mail status, such as read/unread, as well as on the Froyo+ version. That said, I'm back on xtrSENSE for several days now and have not had problems like that with gmail.

Not syncing calendar...

I just got the 4g yesterday and rooted it. Nothing beyond that though. The phone is not syncing my calendar for some reason. I've tried uninstalling the entire calendar (backed up with titan, and restored now) to try and install the cyanogen calendar with no success. I installed buisness calendar free and it doesn't even see the calendars.
In the sync settings under all my google accounts the icon is red and it says:
'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.'
It's said this since last night so there has to be something wrong with the phone.
I tried wiping cache/davik and nothing. Still fails.
Any assistance would be much appreciated,
thanks,
Justin

I don't think it is because you rooted your phone, I have a galaxy S3 that is not rooted and my syncing stopped working as well. I think it might be a bigger issue with google.

I am not rooted and I have this problem too. But, its with the Facebook calender only. The others sync fine.
Yeah, I dont think it has to do with root either, but I'm pretty sure my other phone is syncing just fine. I was just thinking maybe I missed a setting somewhere or there was some bug that people knew about and possibly how to fix. Just really annoying since I use it for work.
**edit**
Actually, forgot about this... my calendar app actually stops working if I try to view calendars to select which ones to sync. Also business calendar doesn't even recognize that I have calendar's (maybe cause the sync problem noted in OP).
found out it is my phone, tested at a verizon store and google calendar sync works on the demo phone as well as the galaxy s3 there...

Yes, they did, so far the calendar is working, now I'm having issues getting into recovery to instal SU... can't go to them for that though =p

[Q] Gmail Sync isn't working.

Hello everyone. Me and my few friends in Pakistan are facing gmail sync issues. The sync is not working and hence the updated emails are not showing. Is this just me or others are facing the same issue? The youtube is being blocked over here so does it has to do something with gmail app?

what about push messaging in other applications like facebook messenger? is it working? what you can do is go to settings >applications manager> all applications> gmail and clear cache and data . or in the worst case you can go to settings >accounts> Google and remove account . after that log in again using the same account .these steps should solve your problem

Cleared cache and data, no use. It says waiting for sync but email not picking up. I guess it is a server issue with our region.

then it's the problem with your isp!
hello ,I suggest you to do it again the secont that you recommended jaidev.s (go to settings >accounts> Google and remove account . after that log in again using the same account )
synchronizer will work once all , I've tried too many times , currently does not recognize Account on play store ,after the above everything was okay...
Google had problems earlier on today with servers, so may be linked to that?
working fine now
sent from: designed for humans
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications

And now I just tried a clean install of beans, I did not restore my Gmail account from tibu and it still doesn't work.

Go to > Settings/Application Manager/All. Select GMail.

Force stop
This should solve your problem.

I've noticed the exact same thing. My Gmail was syncing fine until this past weekend...then I got a notice that Google Sync is having issues. Ever since then, I have to manually check my Gmail because no matter how often I set it to sync, it turns off again.
Did this happen after a clean install of a rom?

[Q] GMAIL 4.2 app not syncing email - CM 10.1

For some reason, I'm not getting the email "push" like i used to on the GMAIL 4.2 app. I have to manually go into the app and hit refresh to get mail.
1. I've tried clearing data / cache of the app.
2. I've tried removing the account and re-adding
3. Restrict Background Data is off
4. I've wiped / flashed a few different times on JB 4.2 (updates) and each time the same issue.
I'm on the CM 10.1 Wild Rom. I've noticed this since i came to JB 4.2 with the 4.2 GAPPS. It worked on the PACMan ROM and Gangam style as well.
Any other help / thoughts would be appreciated. I'm thinking it may be an issue with data on this rom because there has been sometimes where i cannot access web / facebook until i go on Wifi then back off (for 3g).
Did you check settings - accounts - your Google account for sync problems? I had a weird glitch where I had to wipe system and re flash the rom to fix that.
Also, Google won't sync if you have low storage space. You may need to free up some space.
That's all I can think of.

I haven't had an issue before with Sync until the 4.2 app / rom. I've flashed a few different times iwth the same issues.
I had 500mb free, i moved some apps to SD and got 1.15gb back. Any idea how much space google requires?
Update: Free space didn't help. I have no email on my phone, but 4 in my inbox since the last post. I had to manually refresh the app.
Any other thoughts?
Which gapps are you using? Or are you using a separate apk?

Using the GAPPS in the Wild for the night thread
Update: Fixed permissions, cleared data / cache then cleared dalvik / cache before launching app again. Tried uninstalling through titanium backup and installing from market.
Nothing fixed. At this point I don't think its a problem with the app, but how the phone syncs with gmail itself. May be a rom issue. Who knows at this point.

Shot in the dark. Do a full wipe and start from scratch. Back up first to go back of course. See if it works on a fresh flash with no data.
I had a couple weird things happen where the data partition messed things up. It would at least be a starting point.

Solution:
1. Remove google account
2. Force stop GMAIL app. Clear data / cache
3. Force stop Googleframework service and google account manager. Clear data / cache.
4. Reboot and re-add account.
Something was messed up with account syncs, nothing to do with GMAIL at all.

Thanks a lot!
it works for me too
Saved my free time!!
Twice this issue has occurred to me. Both times it was after upgrading the ROM using a Titanium recovery -- Google Apps would sync, but the PUSH functionality was not reliable. Also, both times Google Talk/Hangouts couldn't connect either. This time I didn't want to do another full refresh to dial in all my settings. I tried several methods, but this was the only one which solved the issue. I should note that I am using VENOM VIPER XL on an HTC One XL (EVITA). Thank you thank you NinjaPenguin for suggesting this fix. It worked perfectly.

Once I re-input my main Gmail account info, Google Play attempted to restore all of my old apps which I uninstalled previously, just like when I log in with a clean install. I didn't notice at first, so it was a little bit confusing. Just in case this might be useful info for anyone else.

One more note: I have two Google accounts (2nd one is Google Apps for Business work account). My 2nd account did not have any issues before this fix and it still works fine, but after doing this fix, all of my Google apps defaulted to my 2nd account, so I had to switch them back to my primary account after all was completed. Now everything seems to be working like it should.
