Gmail? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi all, does anyone know how to change the frequency that gmail checks for new mail on galaxy nexus? Getting the email alert wayyy too often, want to set it to hourly checks.
Thanks

Gmail is a push email service. As soon as an email is received by your Gmail account your phone will beep. Personally I don't mind this so I'm not sure how to turn it off.

On iPhone 4 it can be set in two different ways: as Gmail where you can change how often it check for new email or Exchange, where it pushes mails to your device instantly as they arrive.
I do believe same two options are present on Android which is pure Google OS.

The other way is to set it up as an imap account with the check interval set to an hour - but I'm not sure whether if it sees a push capable server it'll just use that anyway.. it does on my imap account.

Could always just turn off notification sounds and check it manually for yourself.
Or turn off automatic Gmail sync, and sync manually when you want e-mail.

Cheers for the replies guys, looked a bit more around since the OP so I'm happy with what I can do now...thanks again

Got the HTC HD2 in Jan 2010 so I joined soon after that...unless I created another account under another name for some reason!!!

I wonder if it is possibly Gmail widget to display all my tasks not only tasks of current day....?

Can't find the scheduling of push peak and off peak emails

Hello,
I can't seem to find the schedules for push so I don't have push enabled during off peak hours. It could be right in front of me but I don't see where to set that on the Galaxy Nexus. I'd prefer to have my phone only check every 30 minutes between 9PM and 6 AM.
Someone in another forum claims it is there but I don't see it.

Push what? Gmail? Corporate email?

Corporate - exchange. I imagine there has to be a way as it was availble on my last 2 android devices but maybe that was done by HTC and Samsung.

Well.. you can't set it to "automatically do every 30 min from x to x" (from what I know) but you can do it manually every night under email ---> sync options --> check frequency (30 min)

Thanks. Bummer - it is a shame that it was available on the last two android phones I had but no longer in the latest.
I dont think stock android ever had that feature. You prob had a skinned android phone.

Stock Email Client

Anyone else having an issue where read messages don't stay marked as read? I've been having to re mark emails as read daily.

Yes. Even my note 1 was terrible with this. I'd delete messages even and they pop back up multiple times randomly. It's been pretty agitating, and I've gotten to the point where I just stopped the notifications.

Did you try using a 3rd party email app to see if it made a difference?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317) on the infamous AT&T Network.
Yes, no change. This is yahoo, road runner, gmail, and the att.net via yahoo that all do it repeatedly on any device except via web browser. Tried an ipad, iphone, note 10.1, the first note phone, and both of the note 2's I have had. The apple devices don't copy the alerts for only the roadrunner account, otherwise all 4 accounts repeated the same problem.
Have you found any solution? I am not sure why all those different gmail and yahoo accounts would act so strangely but it is typical for me. Haha

Nope, unfortunately no solution as of yet but it's annoying as he'll, and I know that much!

This probably won't help, but I'll put it out there anyway. I've noticed that when I go into any web based email client (Comcast, for instance) the mail on my phone from that account...refreshes, is the best way I can put it. Mail I've already deleted from my phone pops up again as new and I have to go through and delete it again. That has happened on pretty much every phone I've used. Never really looked into it too deeply, but it is annoying.

Definitely true! I never had an issue with any devices for years now until my note 1 hit ICS official. I am not sure how it coincides but that is the only thing I know of that changed. Strange stuff. I have the same trouble, especially clear from device to device.
I may just try a 3rd party app to see if that helps. Maybe K9 Mail or similar. Will report back.

Just a few thoughts of what I've seen in the past. You may already know all this but FWIW, whatever.
1. pop3 email accounts are crap. Usually when you delete, it still stays on the server until you delete in webmail or something with true access to email.
2. Setting up email accounts with imap will delete off the server. It's not perfect like Exchange but better than pop.
3. I've often used the settings in gmail to push or pull email from my other none gmail accounts. For example my home internet company will only send usage alerts to the email account they provide. They also don't allow access to see the email unless you are on their network (at home) or go to their site and check their webmail app. So I use gmail pull tool to automatically check for new emails every so often (Gmail decides the frequency) and pull the new mail into my gmail account, then they show up on my phone. One time I accidently created a loop of three email addresses, one pushing and one pulling email so 1 email continually delivered over and over until I realized what I had done. "Broadcast storm anyone??" You may want to check how many devices are getting access to that email address, it could be something like #4.
4. I've seen a problem where my home desktop PC has Outlook installed. When outlook is open I think it would receive the email before my phone and save it to the PST, so my phone would never see it. Except there was a setting in outlook to "Leave emails on the server for X amount of time. Which was great because then my phone would see them even though outlook pulled them into the PST file. However I also noticed when I deleted the email from my phone it would reappear and I think it was because I had outlook leave it on the server. If my PC was shut off I had no problems. Another way I could clear it was to go to a webmail site and login to my email and delete them off the server. Then they would still be in my PST from the first time they arrived and I could also delete them off my phone only this time they would not reappear because I had gone into the server and deleted them. I bet this is as clear as mud right. Meh
One of these above may be a factor.
I am using apex launcher and the symptoms have minimized or fixed.... but this is an android issue... android doesn't do push like the iPhone...
on the iPhone...you delete an email and a couple of secs later.. it is gone from the web... and vice versa...
on android you have to wait till it syncs... it doesn't do push...
these are the things that make me want to go back to iPhone... i wish we could install iOS on this big phone!

Yahoo mail app does push for certain, and so does hotmail, even to the native email app. I just cant seem to get the yahoo mail app to zoom ever, and it makes reading messages impossible. I get the same repeated emails in ios also, so it isn't free of similar issues for me at least.

Try pushing aosp email & exchange APK to your phone and see if that fixes it by replacing the stock apps

Daily notification e-mails for subscribed threads - broken?

I am subscribed to a few threads and set them up with daily e-mail notification. However, I'm not getting any e-mails.
Earlier this year I was subscribed to a thread and it worked. Now it doesn't. The e-mails aren't classified as spam either, they're just not coming.
Summary:
- Thread subscriptions with daily e-mail notification
- New posts
- No e-mails
Is anybody else experiencing this? Can an admin look at my account or the e-mail system? I found some similar old threads, but none of them had a solution or solved problem.
Thank you very much in advance!
Today I got a notification mail for the last 24 hours. Interesting...
I hope somebody fixed something .
Today: nothing...
I have a similar problem...
I have set daily updates for a few forums and instant notifications for a few threads. I get about once every week the daily updates (not regularly, on the same day) and no notifications for the threads (although I'm sure they have new replies).
This has been going for over a month.
Same here. Right now I just visit the user control panel to see the thread updates since I started following quite a few threads.
Still the same... 1-2 days I get e-mails, 5-6 days I don't...
It's a shame.
This has broken for me too in the last few days. I was getting daily email notifications from 4 or 5 active threads, as requested, up to and including April 5th, but since then I have only had one notification in total. Yet I can see that 5 of these threads had activity yesterday.
Same problem here...and yes I've checked my spam folder!
Few months after and the problem is still here... I guess nobody cares...
Guess not!

Haven't heard of any widespread issues, every time I look into this for a particular email address our servers have delivered the mail to the external address, how they handle spam filtering is out of our control
I also have this problem. Has anyone found a solution yet?

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing problems with daily subscriptions. Instant subscriptions ARE working properly for me, thankfully.
Hi,
I've got the same problem, daily or weekly email notification not received anymore since few month. Can it be related to the use of tapatalk on some of my devices?
I will try instant notification to see if it works better.
Thanks
Philippe
The problem exhibits itself with threads that I've subscribed to just days ago, too.
The only detail that I overlooked until now is the fact that I was subscribed to the Smartwatches section, back when it was a section. In between it became a super section, with other sections under it (Pebble, Sony Smartwatch, etc). And I cannot unsubscribe from it either.

Instant notifications are the only ones that work reliably for me. I may get a daily notification once every other month. This is so strange because daily use to work perfectly and nothing has changed on my end. Nothing is getting snagged by my spam filter.
I have this issue too. No problem with instant notifications, but daily doesn't work. I see item in control panel, but have no email when subscribed thread is updated. I received a daily notification email only once or twice for several months.

Hi,
i checked the spam folder (where the message remain more than 2 weeks), nothing from XDA ... And i confirm that instant notifications works well, arriving corretly on inbound message folder, not spam folder.

[Q] nexus 7 and 5 notification dismissal

Hi, I just got my Nexus 7 last week and have an issue with dismissing notifications.
I thought at I/o a year back they said that if u dismiss a notification on one device it should dissappear on others on that Google account too?
Mine doesn't however, for games or gmail or hangouts or exchange. Is there a check box to allow this?
Both devices are running 4.4.
Iain
There is a delay, not sure how long but sometimes it can take a few minutes for my N7 and G2 to sync notifications, never paid attention to desktop notifications

They seem to remain indefinatly for me. I don't know what I've done wrong.
Sometimes it works. Gmail usually doesn't for me though.

Is there a good official forum to post this inside? I fear this isn't really the right place to post this thread. Its more of a 4.4.4 post.

It was unveiled at last year's I/O, but it was up to the developers to implement that feature into their apps. That being said, my Gmail and Hangouts notifications work as they should (disappearing off all my other devices once checked on one device). Pretty much almost all of Google's apps have this implemented. Sad to say, but it doesn't appear there were very many devs that took advantage of this. There are still a lot of apps that leave notifications even though I've checked them on another device.

ah thanks, I see why some games don't but still find it strange that my gmail apps aren't.

Still getting emails

Ok so I'm getting way too many emails so shut off the settings ( I thought) were the correct ones for the emails I was getting.
Anyway long story short I've shut all notification email off and email from admin and users, I'm not getting as many but am still getting at least 20 a day
Is there any other place I need to check besides the user cp that has email settings ?
Cheers

I believe you have to unsubscribe from each thread, that you are getting emails for, then resubscribe .
