This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect. I switched to a 3rd party e-mail app. It never fails me. I am using Kaiten but its a paid app. Try K9 on the Market. You can make it black themed and it works well for many.

I had this prob few days back, I turned syncing off, then back on. I then reboot the phone and bam! It started working again.
P.S. Under Applications>All. I also cleared data/cache.

Settings->Accounts and Sync. On apps, select All, and choose Gmail, clear cache and data on that one.

I have lost some faith in G-Mail. I don't understand why I can get a 3rd party app like K9, add my G-Mail account to that, and people receive the e-mails faster than using G-Mail itself. If someone can explain why this is, I would appreciate it.

I think it depends on many factors, we all have different apps, different roms, kernels, and also different qualiies of reception.

Can you be a bit more clear? I'm understanding bits and pieces... what I explained over clearing the cache was your answer to your question previous to your last post.

Push notifications

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Those push notifications are the developers only problem all Google apps work fine and my twitter client works fine as well I get push notifications fine.

same exact thing happens for me. i get them randomly and rarely . the only ones that work are facebook and twitter

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.

Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.

Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?

Saving mms

Is there any way to get the stock messaging app to automatically change the file name when saving an mms? It promts me every time telling me to rename it or else it will overwrite the last one... Not the end of the world, but incredibly irritating.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

No idea, but if you just want a convenient backup of your texts, this one seems them to your gmail. They'll be threaded weird and out of order, but easily searchable.
Oops, I can't post links yet. It's called SMS Backup+, available on the play market.

I do actually use that (and have been for quite awhile) its very handy for lots of reasons. I just like saving all of them to my phone too though.

I have the same problem, you can continue naming each individual picture with numbers you just randomly think of, its rare I repeated the same number. Or download a third party app like Handscent or Go SMS which just downloads the MMS without worrying about a particular designation. Every once in awhile you run across a Touchwiz rom that doesn't have this problem, but its usually a ASOP rom that just downloads MMS without this problem.

That's about what I figured. I used to use handcent but the stock app has made leaps and bounds over the years so I like sticking with that. I've been doing the random letters after going to save it, but in you ef up and do by chance pick something you already used, it will overwrite it.

Any update or solution to this issue? From what I remember my Samsung Epic 4G did not have this problem, as a matter of fact it did exactly what we are trying to get the Galaxy S3 to do by default. I find that this should have not been an issue, why on earth would someone NOT think to make this a basic function/feature?....

Facebook app crashing

Everything else on the phone works fine, but the Facebook app crashes multiple times a day.
I have to go to the home screen and then recent apps and swipe it away to get it working again. Sometimes even that doesn't work, and I have to go to the task manager and end the task before it'll work. Any ideas why?

its application's fault, not your note 2.... official facebook app has been known to crash very frequently

One of the more stable versions is 2.0, I use that but to be honest I in some ways prefer the website alternative. Bookmark the Facebook site in your browser, add a shortcut to this on your home screen and it's a somewhat better way to use Facebook. I was getting annoyed with it being so slow and running in the background so much. Each to their own though!

I don't know where this comes from because it works pretty much ok in my experience.

Need a good remote access app?

I left my phone at home, I need a good app where I can use a web browser to access my phone or even remote access my phone from any computer so I can check my missed calls and text messages.
Thanks

I guess the ultimate solution would be to port your number to google voice. You would never have to worry about that again.
1. Get text messages and send text messages from your email, google voice on your tablet or computer in real time and all text messages are free.
2. In a couple of clicks reroute all your calls to whatever phone is nearby. Or do what I do and ring my desk phone and my cell phone at the same time. You can also use a OBI100 to have a home phone line with google voice if you want and no carrier minutes are used.
3. Your number is yours forever. Never have to port it again. Switching carriers is fast and easy.

This seems to be the only real ANDROID remote access app, allowing you to control your ANDROID phone from your computer, not the other way around. It can be a little finicky, but it is extremely full featured and well worth paying for. Now if I understand correctly you left your phone at home, theres not really a way to get into it without first installing and setting up this app. You could install it through the web play store, but you have to set it up for it to work.
Well, might as well set it up when you get back to your phone so you can have it next time!
