I have a de-branded Orange Desire and I applied the OTA update with a goldcard in. Everything seems to be working ok except for push email.
I have tried deleting all the stored details (cache etc) of google mail, HTC mail etc which is recommended when others have had problems with push email.
So anyone else noticed any issues? Is there a problem with gmail which happens to have co-incided with when I did the update or is this a problem with the update?
OK I have done some more playing and I am fairly sure that update has broken this.
on 1.15 I was getting push notifications from my gmail account (I think anyway...) in the HTC mail app. Now I am not
I have just re-enabled notifications in the google mail app and this now pops up as soon as I send a message from my PC. No matter what I do the HTC app does not seem to want to play.
Even when set to sync every 15 minutes this did not seem to want to pick up any email (it did work sometimes but not consistently).
I much prefer the HTC mail app (and widget) to the google one but as it stands I can only get notifications from google. I did think I could just leave google app for notifications and mail app for checking but the google notifications do not get cleared when you open HTC app which is a tad annoying.
Anyone else suffering from similar issues or have some ideas about what the best solution might be?
I had the same problem. I am on a debranded and updated rom but using the Orange network.
I found that my email was not being pulled down from two POP accounts. Everytime I adjusted settings I recieved messages about not connected to server etc or host cannot be found etc.
about 24 hours later it all works great... emails come in properly and I can send. It might be worth setting it up. checking that you have a network connection to Orange and that you have set your auto download times. Then leave it to get on with it for a while.
GMail has continued to push mail to my phone fine since the update, however my other two email accounts (one IMAP and one Exchange ActiveSync) which are polled often stop sync'ing until I do it manually. The same also appears to be true of my other sync accounts... Facebook and Twitter. I haven't been able to work out what causes them to stop sync'ing, and what later then enables them to randomly start sync'ing again. It's annoying, it makes sync and notifications for these services totally worthless because you can't just assume it's working, you always have to manually check.
Another way in which HTC has let itself down with poor s/w quality, IMHO
No problems for me here in my debranded Orange black Desire

Gmail still working fine, FB and Twitter (official app) both update as expected every hour...don't use any other email as my phone is setup for my DJ work
I'm getting the same issue, GMail is fine but push email through Exchange isn't happening.
Presumably it's one of the reasons TMobile has now pulled the update. Hopefully a fix will be out soon
Anyone using Exchange on the native email client suddenly notice a huge battery drain/wakelock with Exchange server?
I haven't changed my email setup in weeks and I've never had this problem before. My phone is a little over 5 hours off charger and at 19%! Exchange services is at 19% with a 1h 13m wakelock on BBS.
I have Gmail and Hotmail (yeah, yeah) accounts both set up as push. Only the Gmail syncs contacts and calendar (I've double-checked everything). I probably get ~20 emails/day or so.
Until today, I would get >24 hours with light usage, and a full day with heavier usage. This literally started today out of the blue.
I searched all of XDA and the GN forums specifically and didn't see anything that addressed this particular issue. Any suggestions?
TIA
Anyone?
The actual service is com.android.exchange.Exchange Services
somehow the native email push keeps running and waking up the phone..
so i just sent to never notify me.
and i manually click the app to check every now and then to solve this problem and maintain my battery life

The weird thing is that it just started doing this, even though I haven't changed any settings in weeks. And not having push email would suck...
This has happened to me from time to time on CM and AOSP ROMs, but not on my GN yet. It's a Google problem IIRC and something that they "fixed" in the past, but they obviously haven't.
I'd observe this 1/10 nightly ROM flashes so I'd keep an eye on it for the first couple of hours afterwards and kill it if it was starting to go rogue.
It's a known, flagged, issue (on Google) but I don't have the link handy.
i noticed similar Exchange Mail behavior on my phone with any ROM that i flashed. i narrowed the constant-sync to my calendar. when i disabled calendar sync, the battery drain stopped. my research suggested the problem was related to a corrupt calendar or recurring calendar entries. so i archived all my Exchange calendar entries (which removed them from my calendar) removed then re-added the Exchange account to my phone and finally restored the calendar entries i needed. so far, no issues and i've flashed 3 ROMs and the problem has not returned. somewhat extreme, but it worked!
I have no issues with stock Exchange and Gmail apps on rooted 4.0.4.
You could try deleting and recreating the email accounts to see if that helps.
Also got the issue this night. 25% gone after 4 hours sleep, wakelock because of the Exchange service ... Disabled google sync, then reenabled it 2 hours later, and no problem ... It gets stuck somehow sometimes ...
I had the same problem on my SGS2 on ICS. I finally had no choice but to migrate my email to Google Apps. In the end it was the best decision since the Archive function on the GMail app is amazing and it simply works 10x better than any Exchange ActiveSync client.
The Google Apps connector for Outlook also works almost as well as Exchange Server.
My email worked fine with Exchange server in Gingerbread but since I've upgraded
to ICS is not working ok, it doesn't download all emails and I keep getting
"Connection Error" messages.
Who else is having issues with Exchange server in ICS4.0.3 ?
Can we report this issue somewhere to Samsung?
Got the same problem, contacts and calendar syncing, also in two days i got 3 emails on the device as well, but the oldest ones. Have bought Enhanced Email and is working perfect.
Mine is fine on bone stock LP7 or LPQ
check the exchange server for errors if you have access. the mobile device policy might be doing something funky
Problem I'm having is that when I configure my works's exchange environment settings, only the email and the contacts synch, the calendar is not synched at all. Same problem with the Enhanced Email app only mail and contacts and no calendar? Is this something with ICS specifically or with the kernel LP7.
running STOCK LPF with XXKL1 Baseband. was experiencing battery drain. apparently its a known issue with ICS 4.0.3. Tried couple different things and deleting account and re-adding seem to do the trick for me at this point
Same here

Having the same problem. Mail/contacts sync like a charm, but the calendar just gets stuck. Lot's of wakelocks when I enable it too...
Have been searching my *** off to get this fixed, but thus far, no solution. Tried re-adding the account, even wiping the whole phone, installing AOSP calendar/mail... nothing helps
A search on Google taught me it was a 4.0.3 bug btw, and google is kind of neglecting the whole thing :/
Bottom line is, you need to delete ALL of your reoccurring events. That's the only one i haven't tried yet
Edit: Just tried it, it worked! I just deleted some random events which were really old and sometimes in Outlook 2011 giving some problems with reminders. Now my calendar is syncing again. No wipe needed btw
What I did:
In outlook 2011 for OSX (but can be any mailclient) i created a local folder. I searched for reocurring events, and started moving them one by one to the local folder, which removes them from exchange. Every 3 items, i tried sync again, and after a few tries, my calendar started working.
The problem for me was with some birthdays, which were added from the contacts by my HTC Desire in the past
Am I the only one who's disenchanted with the Gmail app on Android? I was hoping it would be better with my Nexus, but nothing has changed.
It doesn't seem like true push. If I set Gmail up as an exchange account in the mail app, it receives my e-mail and notifies me within seconds of sending a test message. The Gmail app randomly notifies me within about 15 minutes or so. Call me anal, but I like to receive my e-mail as soon as possible (sometimes it's important) and I don't see why there's a delay on the official Gmail app.
I know this has been an ongoing issue for some time with Android and my co-worker claims that he's perfectly happy just using the Gmail app, but my experience is that the Email client receives e-mail faster and that's important to me.
I've been using the gmail app for a while on 4 different devices (N1,G2,Sensation,GNex), and I've never noticed more than a couple second lag receiving emails. I have noticed something since 4.0.4 or possibly the latest gmail update. When I mark an email as read on my computer, the notification no longer clears itself on my phone. I have to manually clear it.
It can be strange, and in some cases frustrating. More often than not, my emails come really quick (as they should). There has been a few occurances where an email was delayed by several hours.
And it does seem as though the mail app works better than the gmail app for push email.
Edit: I only use the gmail app, but have used the mail app in the past.
Never had more than a 30 second delay personally.
See, my co-worker swears he doesn't notice a delay either, but I have tested it over and over. When I have notifications on for both the default e-mail client and Gmail, I will get a notification immediately from the e-mail client and nothing from Gmail. More troubling, when I open Gmail, the e-mail is not there yet. It's like it's on periodic check, instead of push.
Currently, I have notifications turned off for the Gmail app and use it to sync everything, then have Gmail set up as an exchange account and only have it pulling in e-mail (no contacts or calendar). It still seems a tad redundant, but its' the only way to ensure that I get my e-mail reliably.
I've not noticed any delay with using the app.

No delays here either. I relay email from POP3 accounts to Gmail for the push functionality and it works flawlessly.
All good here too. Matches my desktop Gmail timing. Btw I love the Gmail app its the best damn email experience I've ever seen on a phone, I use it constantly.
I can't be the only one having this issue. Is it possible that no one here knows any different simply because they haven't tried it as an exchange account through the regular e-mail app? Again, I have had this issue on pretty much every Android phone I have owned. And I can duplicate it any time.
Would anyone care to add Gmail as an Exchange account through the e-mail app and then send themselves a test message? Let me know if you get it in both apps around the same time. In my case, it shows up instantly in the e-mail app and won't show up for several minutes in the Gmail app unless I push the sync button manually.
i've noticed delays too. really frustrating because i have no idea what can be done about it...

Nothing that I know of, because it only seems to affect a small percentage of users. I can find a few posts on the internet with other users complaining about the same issue, but most people who reply say they have no problem (just like this post). It makes me wonder if I created a completely new Gmail account and tied it to my phone, if I'd get e-mail instantly on that account.
Unfortunately, that's not an option. I've had this address for years.
How long is your delay, less than a minute? I send myself a test email from my corp work email and it comes thru in less than a minute.

The delay varies. Sometimes it's instant, other times it's anywhere from a 5-15 minute delay. I always get the e-mails instantly in the e-mail app when Gmail is set up as an exchange account.
The moral of the story is, it's not reliable. I can never count on getting my e-mail in a timely manner in the Gmail app.
Sign in to the Google Talk application and make sure you're always signed in. I believe that the gTalk-connection is used for push-messages, so if you're signed in into gTalk, push should work.
I also had the delay once, after I restored a backup of the gmail data after a factory reset(actually, yakjuxw -> yakju). I deleted the gmail data and re-configured it. That fixed the problem for me.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I have the gmail issue (won't ever recieve push email...have to manually sync) AND I cannot sign into GTalk from my phone.
I wish I could fix.
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but was there ever a resolution to this? I'm having the exact same problem on my HTC One X (AT&T).
Gmail or Gtalk delays are due to router (firewall issues). Just forward the necessary Google ports, and you'll be good to go.

I am struggling with this issue as well
Me too, lately it's been brutal for me
Hello,
I updated my Sprint Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) to CyanogenMod 10.2 yesterday.
I flashed the latest gapps, and I updated my gmail apps to the latest one on the play store (4.7.1).
However, when I receive emails I don't get any notifications. However I still receive emails, and if I press refresh, then I got notifications.
I read lots of posts about it, but most of them told to check synchronization. Which I did.....everywhere.
I went to Account -> Google and checked GMail.
I went to Data Usage -> Menu and checked Auto-sync data
I went to GMail apps -> Settings and checked Sync GMail
I went to GMail apps -> ... @gmail.com settings and checked label notifications and set ringtones
I checked that gmail was not checked in Privacy Guard, and that the app was allowed to push notifications.
I tried to revert to gmail apps 4.5, clear data, remove google accounts and add it again, reboot the phone, re-update the gmail apps.
I tried from WiFi and 4G.
Nothing worked.
I don't feel like it's a sync issue, as I well received email (even if it's not instant).
I did a fresh install of CM 10.2 (stable), wiped cache and everything (I had stock ROM before).
I also think I do not receive facebook notifications.
Does these applications need to run in the background to get notifications ? Because when I come back to desktop after checking mails for example and goes to Manage Apps -> Running, GMail is not in there.
Thank you.
Edit: Could it be an issue with GCM ?
Edit: At some points I received notification (30min after I sent the test email).
A question is, how does gmail app works ? Is it synchronizing and emitting notification if new messages, or the other way around, if receiving new messages, emit a notification and synchronize ?
To test GCM, I downloaded Push Notification Test, and I can trigger the notification (step 3), but the system never receive it.
However I'm not sure why. Is there a way to restart gcm ? (I already tried to reboot, but it doesn't change anything.
I tested to disable profiles, just in case one of the profile overrides notifications. No luck.
It seems I sometimes receive notifications but sometimes after a long time after I receive the email.
Did anyone already got this kind of issue ?

Your not alone. The one thing i loved about the GMAIL app was the instant email notifications.
Now it takes hours (if it all) to notify me of an email since the update of 4.7.1.
Really would like a fix too (using a Galaxy Note 3)
EDIT: Seems to be working for me now. I updated all google apps on the phone, and in chrome i was logged in under another email, and relogged into mine. Then i tested it and appears to be working for now.
Hope this helps

In the changelog of 4.7.1 they said they fixed the sync, but I'm not sure it's completely fixed.
All my apps are up-to-date on my phone, and I don't have chrome. I'm never logged on my gmail with my browser and I don't have other gmail address.
That's annoying.
But I think I don't receive FB notifications either. I think it's more an issue in the CM. Do you use Cyanogen too ?

The problem is happening to me again. Its only since the update a few days ago which is really annoying. I am using stock so shouldn't be your mod. I had no sync problems before the update, but now the inbuilt email app beats the gmail app every time, to the point the gmail app doesnt even send notifications anymore.
Im at a loss as to what to do

As for me, I'm not sure this is the app, because as I said I also don't receive FB notifications.
And I also tried with gmail 4.5 and it didn't work either. After I revert to 4.5, I sent myself a test email, and I got the notification immediately, but after that, I sent other email, and this time I got no notifications anymore.
