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?

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.
hey guys, i am having an issue with my e3d running synergy 318. I have 3 gmail accounts on my phone, all are set to auto sync, but for some reason my main account has begun acting up. All my emails are showing up to the phone and i can read/delete/respond just fine, but it doesnt clear the unread count, if i sign into gmail on my laptop it will show the emails still there and unread even though i deleted them on my phone. even it i hit refresh on my phone it still doesnt fix it, any ideas? My other 2 accounts work just fine its just my main account, so of course i cant delete it with out doing a factory reset, (may end up doing this anyways, just checking to see if there is a setting i missed somewhere that would fix this)
Had this last week----go into settings and applications and the gmail. Clear cache and data and let it sync again and you should be golden

awesome, thanks, i tried clearing data with TiBu but that didnt fix it for some reason, this appears to have worked... for now, lol, hopefully it holds, i'll test it a bit more, this was killing me, i am waaaaayyy to OCD to have anything inthe unread count, i want to push my wife down a flight of stairs (just kidding dont call the cops lol) everytime i see her 300+ unread emails on her evoOG
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.
Has anyone experienced this before?
My phone goes through phases of reloading old, read mail. It notifies to say there's new mail but its not normally visible, so I scroll down and find that some mail that has been read but not deleted has now been highlighted, as if it hasn't been read.
I have the settings for this account set to keep the past 7 days of mail and is set to Push email during the day, and its set up via the Social Hub. Sometimes after reading a deleting a message the phone immediately alerts me that there is New mail, only to find it has reloaded old mail as new! Its as if it feels the need to replace any spaces in the 7 days of mail. This only happens with Hotmail, not Gmail.
I've tried deleting and reloading the Hotmail account but it doesn't change things, I even did a complete wipe of the phone the last time it started doing this but it didn't help. Eventually it stopped doing it by itself. Unfortunately, its started to do it again.
Its an non branded, UK spec phone, running standard 2.3.4
Did a quick search, nothing obvious popped up for me...But i have an annoying thing with my S3 and facebook messenger, it can sometimes take 30-40 mins before my phone tells me there is a message, doesnt matter if the app is open in the background or not, ive reinstalled it, cleared data and removed and re-added my account with no change - anything else that i could try? The normal facebook app never tells me of messages does for notifications though lol.
