Gmail push notifications

If you find the specific one, link here. I'm sure we'd all be happy to click a button to up vote it if we can, or at least read what they have to say.

What I found on some competitors sites for Samsung phones was go to Google account, uncheck sync gmail, reboot the phone, go back to Google account and check sync gmail.
I'll let ya know if mine stops not syncing every night between ~11pm and ~ 7am. No I have nothing set to cause it to not sync. My Note8 will have s plethora of new ones in the morning and unless I manually refresh gmail earlier they don't show up until I'm getting my daughter ready for school when that plethora shows up sometime after 7am

I just did this and will monitor the outcome. To note, once I rebooted and turned Gmail sync back on, a notification for 2 messages showed up. Both messages were from at least 4 hours prior.

Didn't work for me. I manually refreshed just prior to 7am and stuff showed up from hours prior.

Bummer.

One thing I don't think was mentioned here...is everyone here on the same device manufacturer (ie, Samsung, Motorola, etc)?

I'm on a Samsung S6 on Verizon.

Note4, AT&T. That's why I looked for Samsung specific answers that I posted above but if it's a server issue why is my tablet getting them timely?

Right...also why I mentioned in a post that my previous phone, a first-gen Moto X, did not have this problem. I've only noticed this since switching to this S6 a few months ago.

I'm on a Nexus 6P on Verizon. As I stated earlier, I didn't experience this on this phone when I first heard of it.

I sent it for repairs & used a Samsung S3 as a spare, which had no Gmail issues.

It's only since I got the 6P back that I've noticed the trouble.

I just went in and double checked my settings. I noticed that the "Notify on every message" option was not checked so I turned that on. I could've sworn I had that enabled before but apparently not.

I don't know if that's going to make any kind of a difference but I'll see.

Hate to say it, but I don't think that will make a difference. That's just for it to notify you when you get 1 message, then notify again when you get another, then again for another. If it's not syncing, you'll not get notified for the first one.

I have my email notifications set to silent and not vibrate, so it basically just shows in the notification bar and flashes the LED. My watch vibrates, but the visual cue is all I've ever used for emails.

I notice the lack of vibrations on my wrist.
Now that we've established it's not a carrier thing or a manufacturer thing I'm still stumped why my tablet gets them pushed but my phone only gets push when I'm using the phone and nothing at night, even if I'm using it at oh dark thirty.

Today I've so far had pretty good luck with the notifications. Never had any show up in my email that I didn't get a notification for on my phone. Knocking on wood here, but there was the case of last night that after 5 pm the notifications didn't show up.

Haven't had time today to pay attention, but it feels like some have come right away while others haven't again.

Hmmm...It means if you need push notification, you either have to use the Gmail app available free from the App store, or you will have to pay for a corporate gmail account. You can not configure a free gmail account using Exchange Active Sync (which supports push) on ANY iPhone any more. If it was already configured on an iOS device prior to 31 January, it will continue to function on that device until an unnamed date in the future when Google may or may not kill it, or until the user deletes the account, restores the phone, etc.

Not sure what that has to do with this thread. This is about the free Gmail app on Android phones having sync issues.

Has nothing to do with iPhone or Exchange.

I'm now seeing this issue. Should never have looked at this thread. Doh!
