I've been using Das bamf 1.6.3 on my Thunderbolt for a week now and it's been working fine, now all of a sudden sometimes I get my e-mail notifications and sometimes I don't, it's intermittent. It doesn't seem to be specific where the source of the e-mail comes from. Its been happening for two days and no changes have been made to the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
I think the email sync defaults on manual-sync when not at peak times, which is defaulted as Mon-Fri 8:00am - 5:00pm, I believe. If your settings are like this then you wont receive a notification on the off times unless you manually sync your email.
I know this sounds newbish, but where do I set the frequency to which it updates? I went to account/sync and there is no way to adjust it's sync schedule. I even tried under settings for gmail. Thanks!
I personally dont use the Gmail app for my email I use the "Mail" app for it. You can connect multiple email accounts to it and if you go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and select each mail account you can then set up an update schedule.
I have searched and searched for this answer and I cannot find one that will work. I am new to android and this is causing me issues!!
I setup my google account and do not want my google contacts syncing. Other threads I have found say go into setting and uncheck syc contacts box and it will no longer sync. but I dont have a box to uncheck? Is there a way to just sync gmail mail and not the contacts? If there is please please please tell me how.
settings - accounts and settings - select the google account - THEN you will see checkboxes
mine does not give me that option. the only options it gives me is touch contacts to sync now. there are no boxes even visible to check or uncheck
It is in phone settings (or Settings app), not gmail settings.
Thats what I am saying, I go into settings, accounts and sync, choose my gmail account. it gives me the following options
sync books
sync contacts
sync gmail
sync calendar
below each of them it says touch to sync now. There are no boxes, i dont see where it give me the options to change the settings for any of them

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
settings button on bottom next to home screen- accounts and sync- uncheck auto sync.
You will see your account under manage accounts.
So then why don't you just click 'sync gmail'?
im trying to get it to stop syncing contacts. Its like its set up by default and I cannot get it to quit syncing the contacts

You have Auto-sync turned off. That's why you don't see the check boxes because you are not automatically sync anything.
Go back to account and sync screen and check the box 'Auto-sync'. Now you will see check boxes on all the items under your Gmail account.
ugh!!! your a genius!! Thank you, Im sorry for the ingorance. Coming from an Iphone, this is all very new to me.

Superb! I had the same issue and this worked! Thanks so much.
Good searching and reading, isn't it.
Clap...clap...
I have the cm7 ROM and I'm impressed at what it can do. Anyway, gmail is stuck at "your mail will appear shortly". AS a workaround, I logged into gmail thru the native IMAP client... I have it set to check every 5 minutes...
Anyway to fix?
Try clearing data and cache from the app settings. (Settings --> Application Settings --> All Apps)
How do I force a sync for contacts (Exchange)
Yes, I know how to do email sync, but I can find no way of doing this with contacts. It seems like they sync at some predetermined interval.
I add a contact in exchange on my PC, then if I want to see it immediately (like I'm driving to a client and setting the GPS) I have to reboot the friggen phone to make it available..
My EVO did this easily.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You can always force sync through the “Accounts and sync” settings page.
Click Settings
Click Accounts and sync
Click on your corporate/exchange account
Click Sync now
Or you can use something like the free app "Synker", a sync widget, to create a widget that allows you to force sync specific accounts regardless of the current auto-sync setting.
You can also use the power control widget, Widgetsoid, etc… to “toggle” the global Android auto-sync setting off/on, which effectively will cause a force sync.
Hi
I am using 2 imap accounts within the messaging application but the emails are nto being pushed to my device (the problem described in this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432778 )
Yesterday I found the "Accounts and Sync Settings" application in my phone and as I checked it there, I found that my email accounts are listed there but the synchronisation settings for them is set to "OFF" which may be the reason why is the push not working...
I checked all the settings regarding the email accounts and their delivery options but they are set to be pushed, there is no data saver or whatever - simply are conditions are fine but I can't get them to sync in the background (yes - the folders are set to work in the background sync mode....)
Anyone knows what is wrong? - why are not the imap accounts enabled to use the background sync???
thanks
