Possible Gmail sync Fix? This did it for me! - Nexus 6P General

So I too had syncing issues, sometimes it would take days to get an email even when I would manually refresh it. But I decided to go through and manually delete EVERY email in my gmail account, I went through and made copies of text and saved attachments through the last 7 years with google and just deleted. Everything. Sent, archieved, everything...and then hit the trashcan and deleted permanently...
What is interesting though is within MINUTES of completely wiping it all my gmail sync started working again. No joke.
I had my girlfriend send me a message, and she sent it and I recieved it while it still showed "sending" on her screen. I then went to craigslist and sent an email to myself through yahoo and got it instantly. I then emailed someone who had something I wanted and you know people never like to respond but they responded within a 2 minutes and I got it no problems.
So is this a sync conspiracy? My gmail seriously wouldn't sync but then does perfectly again just like it should.
If you have the time I recommend trying it. The whole process for me took about 30 minutes because I had to disconnect my yahoo from gmail and go back to seperate apps. But everything works great.
Let me know if this works for you!

So I've got a kind of weird question for you, did you happen to enable the star wars theme for your Gmail account? The one that would change like everything in Google to something star wars related?

I don't think that's the case. Sometimes or receive emails instantly, other times, it syncs randomly. My email only has maybe about 8 emails that I didn't delete while the rest of it is clean.

While what you're saying may be true, 1) The syncing problem seems to be random in regards to when it starts happening, I can install the app and have it work fine for a week or two and then it stops, and 2) Even if that DID fix the problem, it's not something I'd be willing to do.
It's pretty freaking embarrassing that Google email works totally fine on iOS devices and has big issues on Google devices.

I also have the syncing issue, sometimes it's fine, other times, no email until I manually refresh.

i feel like i've read somewhere before that this may be related to the battery optimization feature in 6.0 (doze mode), and if it's disabled for the gmail app then the syncing issues should go away. but i'm not 100%, maybe this will spark an idea from someone else as to what's causing that for you.

So no ones willing to take the leap and delete everything and try it? My gmail has been great for days...

Maybe your email was full that's why it wouldn't sync.
I faced the same sync problem when my Gmail got close to full. Once I made room, everything worked well. Since you deleted your emails that created more space, hence it started syncing.

I have to say that Inbox doesn't suffer the sync problem.

I had less than 700 emails...total. Sent/everything. Idk I tested it on my friends Moto X Pure and he gets emails now too...and he barely had 50 emails.
I just don't get it.

+1. The Inbox app has always synced fine for me. I switched to it last year after having intermittent sync issues with the Gmail app.

I added my gmail account to the Outlook app, that seems to be working fine, bit easier to get used to than Inbox too!

Gmail items not actually being marked read.

Gmail is acting kind of funky on this phone...
Every now and then Ill take a look at the Gmail account on my phone and Ill see:
Inbox (1)
But all my emails have been marked read on the phone. So Ill log in on a desktop, and see that one of my e-mails is unread, even though I just marked it read on my phone.
Sometimes Ill get a zero unread count in my app, login on a desktop and see that Ive got 3 or more that were never marked read.
Gmail used to be the best email experience out there on a mobile device, in my opinion. But its now gotten to the point where this bug plagues just about every email I receive.
Am I the only one? Is there even any action I take to prevent this?
Sounds like a syncing issue. Everything works fine for me. Are you on a custom ROM?
Stock rooted.
I seem to remember having the same issue on my G1 and the myTouch Slide, though not to this gravity. I guess it must have something to do with my account itself, but I would really hope not. Starting over with a new Gmail isnt the most elegant solution...
I'm getting this today too. Frustrating.
my wife's Vibrant can't even sync with gmail since yesterday

Google+ and Gmail Syncing issues

Anyone else having issues not receiving emails with Google+ installed on their Evo 3D until you manually refresh? Without Google+ I get my emails fine, then I install Google+ and it all stops, I have to open Gmail and refresh, then I uninstall Google+ and I start receiving them again. What the hell?
Also, I've done a Hard Reset back to factory, sent myself emails and I get them no problem. I installed Google+ and no other programs, sent myself email and nothing. So I've pretty much narrowed it down to Google+
No problems here....

Just in case, check your sync settings. Maybe they're not set to sync and maybe, sync is turned off. Other than that, I can't think of what else could affect you.

yeah i am having that problem off and on sometimes i have to manually sync to get my emails and g+ notification other times i get them when im suppose to not sure whats going on with it
I'm not getting my emails on time either. I have google+ installed as well. Gonna test your theory and report back.
**Edit**
So I sent an email with google+ instaled and got nothing. Waited about 10 minutes. Uninstalled, rebooted and sent an email, got it within a minute. I think the OP is on to something.
I'm having similar issues with the sync of gmail and google+, I first noticed it when I switched on 4g which is technically not available yet but is in testing. As soon as it connected I got alerts from both services and looking at the times they were for quite a bit of time before. I noticed it seemed to be an issue when google+ was initiated. I'll test further as well.
I havent seen any issues like that at all
I have Google+ installed and have no issues receiving Gmail.
Just started having the issues but yeah. I'm going with sprint issues...
Thanks for the replies guys, I'm still having issues. As soon as I install Google+ all gmail notifications stop and I have to start manually refreshing it. Sync is turned on.
Just a quick update, following Daniel H's advice. Turning off the Google+ syncing seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe the Google+ syncing and Gmail syncing were conflicting with each other. Very strange. But anyway seems to be working good now. Getting my emails at the same time as the computer.
I'll post here to receive karma!
I came across this thread when i was googling because i was not receiving any emails. I get emails sort of frequently, around 10 per day, and i just noticed that i have gone a couple days without receiving emails. I did check my gmail app in those days to make sure i didnt have any and indeed no emails (at least showing in the app) until today i hit refresh and got like 70 emails most from days ago.
I uninstalled Google+, restarted, and the problem went away. So im acknowledging there is a problem with google+ and gmail app.

[Q] Missing Emails - Exchange

Strange missing emails. Since yesterday various emails have disappeared form my inbox on my EVO 3D. Normally my inbox on my desktop and on my phone look the same. For example this morning I deleted the exchange account on the phone, then remade it. Everything downloaded correctly, by the time I got to work I was missing 2 emails. Now in the afternoon I am missing 8 emails. No rhyme or reason. we have rebooted the server and I have tried every combination of settings on the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? TIA

How old are the emails and how many days do you have exchange set to sync?
I have only checked back a few days so I am not sure about anything older. My phone will show say 20 emails in the morning, and this matches my inbox for outlook. Then 2 hours later I will check it and my phone will be missing 12 emails. Even if I sync they don't show up and never do. They are just gone, they are still in my outlook, even outlook web. I have the sync setup for 30 days right now but have tried 7 and 5 I think. Have also deleted account and reestablished a few times. Everything will sync up and look good for say half a day and then emails start disappearing. About ready to do a hard reset. What do you think?
Reset the server again and reestablished the exchange account on the phone. Everything was good until about 2:30 today. Now i am missing 11 emails... Maybe I should shoot the phone with my 357?
Lost everything but one email today. Everything is on my computer but just disappears off the phone. Can't figure this out...
I wish I had the expertise to help you further but I am stumped as well! Is there anyone else in you office that maybe has an Android phone? You maybe can check their settings against yours to see if they match!
Thanks for your help. One other guy has Android and has no issues. I think it is the phone. I will try a hard reset over the weekend and let people know if that worked.
No luck with the hard reset. also borrowed a friends Samsung and set it up with my email and no issues. sprint is sending a replacement phone in the next day or two. I will let you know if that fixes the problem?
Ok, went to sprint service center, they ordered a phone for me. One week later, phone shows up. I get home reset all my stuff and am excited this is going to fix my problem. Next day go to work, sure enough early afternoon Emails start disappearing. I am ready to shoot this phone. Also had the IT guys download and install the software to manage the wireless accounts on the server. had them delete all my accounts and reset them.
still having the same problem... Help

Sounds like possible an issue with HTC software. What app are you using? Have you tried another one.

OK, I have narrowed this down but still no fix. I experimented by not opening my outlook and just worked out of outlook web access for two days. NO MISSING EMAILS. WTF!
Went back to using my outlook and started loosing emails again.
Check all your settings in outlook. Is Outlook only keeping so many days of emails. Since I've never messed with Exchange, I'm not sure how it works, but it could be because outlook imonly shows so many days of emails if set that way, or maybe the app is set to only show so many days.

Gmail syncing issue

Running stock mk2 rooted. Gmail normally syncs ok but recently after a day or two it will randomly stop syncing. If i go into the accounts settings and force a sync it still won't, but also doesn't report an error. Rebooting fixes it. Force stopping and then syncing also seems to work. Any ideas?

Thanks, but that is just it. Sync is enabled (quite obviously as I get notifications for a day or two with no problem). I believe I've isolated the issue to sending large files (never finish sending, even though on wifi which should be fast). By large I mean 1mb or so.

How to Reset Gmail Syncm [Q]

hello everybody,
I have been having issues with Gmail App (stock from Play Store) for a while now and I have reached a point where i am seriously thinking dumping it from the phone. Why? Notifications of new emails do not appear in real time - I can be fine with 2 minutes, whatever.
So i have tried all the "recommended steps" from the useless Gmail Help Section, clearing cache, resetting the app etc. Still, the issue persists, at times i can see emails sent to me like 2 hours ago, that you can only see when pulling down the menu.
I do have quite a bit of emails in sent like 4000 emails but it's not millions and should handle that yes?
I have just NOW removed completely gmail app, uninstalled updates, restarted the phone and re-installed it and updated it, and same thing again.
On the other hand, the emails sent with the Samsung Stock Email App works beautifully, emails are sent and received, say if you email yourself in matter of seconds, that is using my own server of course.
So, is there a way to fully reset / flush / reinstall / reinitialize the Sync system onto the phone for Google stuff (have also tried to tick untick stuff, nothing)? I don't have root access but i can do stuff on it.
many thanks,
Gabrio
and here's a real world example. sent an email from my outlook account, first one came immediately - great, then sent a second one and didn't show up. it's already 10 minutes past that.
and here's how the sync section looks like

anybody can help with this? thanks
