Hi there,
in order to save some battery, i decided to turn sync off during daytime - i thought syncing calendar, contacts, send mail, etc at night is sufficient.
But it seems that GMail-App only notifies me about new mail if the sync is on.
Is this a bug or a feature?
Do i really have to use a different Mail-App for notifications with sync off?
Thanks

Hi i've a problem.
I insert some image in my contacts in the phone(x10 mini pro) but when i sync the contacts with gmail the picture doesn't sync with contacts in gmail.
I try the viceversa, if i gave a picture to a contact in gmail, when i sync I see that image in the cell phone.
Any ideas?
I've noticed that sometimes newly added pictures take a while to show up in Gmail, but they seem to turn up eventually - It's possible that it does a text-only sync first, then syncs the pictures later
My contacts are stored on my phone. But I want to sync them with Contacts on Gmail. Sync is on, and I chose: Sync now. It syncs contacts and calendar, but when I look in Gmail, nothing is there. But when I add a NEW contact(and choose directly to Gmail) then it works.
Please help me
The MIUI calendar (or contacts) app gives me daily notifications with the text "Today is XY Birthday, don't forget to say happy birthday or get a present". My contacts are synced with facebook, so I get this notification for all my facebook friends. I don't give a damn, so how can I disable these notifications?
I'm looking for the same answer. Googling my ass off, but not finding anything yet. It's a nice idea and all, but there's gotta be a way to turn it off.
Same problem! Any solution?
Have you tried to go into calendar and in the menu (click menu button) selected "more..." and then "Calendars" to see if there is a Facebook Calendar. If there is you can click it and make it not sync and not be visible. I do not personally have this problem and I am running MIUI with Facebook contact sync. Hope this helps.
I am having the same issue. I don't believe this is directly related to Facebook. It just becomes more annoying when Facebook is involved. I too would love to turn this off!
Turn off bday reminders
Any luck with this? I also can't turn off the birthday reminder
Clicking the notification sends you to the contacts, so it's most likely the contact app. Calendar is off the hook, I disabled every calendar and notification and still got birthday reminders.
Facebook may be involved I think simply because it syncs birthdays to every contact that has it set on their profile
Still, there is no option that I have found that disables these notifications, and if there is one, I'd like to know :/
make the birthdays stop!!!!!! i only care about one birthday, and that's my own.
Well, this still is a problem...
Hello xda,
Thinking of disabling auto sync email (gmail) for battery saving purposes since I do not need to check it as often.
If I do disable auto sync, what would be the best way of updating the inbox without me having to open up gmail every time I'm connected to a network?
Is there a widget or button that is available that fetches email updates on demand?
Have a good one.
Hi,
I have an issue with the Gmail app on my Moto G4+ on Nougat official ROM.
All syncing options are enable for Gmail, but I don't receive notifications when I have a new mail, I have to open the app en refresh manually to see it. Also, when I read the mail on the app, or delete it, if I open Gmail in a browser on my computer, the inbox still contains the deleted mail. Again, if I refresh manually on my G4, the mail is deleted on the server and not visible on my computer. There's no automatic sync in Gmail app, it only works with manual updates. The problem happens in Wifi or 4G, so it's not a connection issue.
I've tried to delete Gmail app data, to delete my Google account and recreate it on my phone, to exclude Gmail from battery economy mode, but nothing works, and it's really annoying.
Anyone here with the same problem and perhaps a solution ?
Thanks
Same issue here suddenly in the last few days. Manual sync within the Gmail app works but emails not automatically downloading and actions on phone not syncing to web automatically.
You have any battery savings settings enabled? Or a battery saving app? These often mess with sync settings to save some juice. Other than that, try Inbox if you want to stick with Google or a third party email app. I prefer BlueMail myself.
I have Nougat on a Samsung Note 5 with the same exact problem. I have power saving turned off. Never had this problem before I updated my phone to Nougat.
