problem sharing URL with gmail

If you click and hold on the address bar in the browser you get the option to share a URL. choose this and then choose to share via GMAIL. it sends fine. however, the mail never gets delivered. Not until you actually go into your gmail app and refresh. Then the mail gets sent/delivered. If you choose to send a link using the MAIL application (hotmail for example) it sends immediately. Is this a HTC problem or a gmail app issue? anyone notice this? I would prefer to share URLs via gmail, but hotmail works and gmail doesn't. not properly anyway.

I've just tried this and it works fine for me - shared a URL via Gmail and it got delivered fine without having to go into Gmail.

Ok I figured this out.
If you click and hold on the browser address bar to share a page, you can share via peep, facebook, gmail, mail, message, etc.
If you choose HTC MAIL widget (usually set up with exchnage or hotmail) it will send out the mail immediatley.
If you choose to use gmail to share the page it gets sent correctly, but it will just sit in your gmail outbox until you either open the gmail app and refresh, or else turn on the sync. Using the HTC MAIL widget does not require you to turn on sync. It just gets sent. Gmail needs the sync turned on to send the mail.
Not a big deal, but it means I'm more likley to use hotmail to share url links via email now, because its quicker, instant, and does not require me to enable sync which is great. I don't need to pull in weather, friendstream, gmail, and everything else. I can just hit "share via mail" send. done.
I guess its a gmail app problem.

If you have sync turned off, it's a problem with the user, not the app!

haha. fair enough Dave.
yeah I suppose I incorrectly expected it to work without sync turned on becuase the hotmail (htc mail widget) does. No biggy.
cheers for the replies.

One question though - why do you have sync disabled? If you don't want to sync everything (e.g. twitter/weather), just switch off those individually or change the schedule of those items to something more appropriate.

I suppose the reason I don't normally have sync on is that I used to just do everything manually. i.e. just refresh the weather manually if I looked at it. Or refresh friendstream manually as I looked at it. Or open gmail if I wanted to check it etc. I suppose its a habit to save battery life, but I'll look into it now that you mention it, and maybe just set these things to update once per day etc. Then I can override that manually for each service as required, plus gmail would send instantly if I do it that way. Cheers, I'll have a look at doing that.

[Q] GMail App does not auto Sync, not push

Hey there
I have a rather annoying issue since I switched to froyo (proper OTA) with my gmail app:
it does not auto-sync, nor tell me instantly when a new mail arrives. Actually, it only tells me, when I manually sync the accounts.
I reckon to have set it up the right way*, rebooted the device, deleted and re-added the accounts, but still no notifications when I receive mails.
Yet, is there maybe any point I missed?
Thanks
*Application's allowed to sync data all the time; allowed to sync automatically; accounts set to sync their mail

Do you have more than one Google account set up on the phone?
If so, this is a known issue

Gmail not showing in Add Accounts (Accounts&Sync)

Gmail does not show up on my Accounts&Sync add accounts page. Does anyone know what steps I should take? I have the app installed and i can force it to sync through the app, but the app does not appear in accounts&sync.
Further more I'm running CM7.1RC, and have flashed the latest gapps. I've also re-installed the gmail app via market to no avail.
Thanks,
D

You should find "Google" there. Just sync to it and you should be fine.
That's how it goes on ARHD 6.1.1 atleast.

Unfortunately that does not allow either the gmail or email app to sync mail automatically.

Do a full wipe and re-flash. If you're also having sync problems with the email app then its not a Gmail problem. Before you do that, make sure that under Accounts & sync>Google the Gmail check mark is selected.

Thanks, checking gmail under my Google account did the trick!

if you mount the MIUI from what I know you have to install the GAPP to the party or I'll do this joke

Push mail on 3G??

Guys is push mail working for everyone on gmail when on 3G? when on WiFi pushmail is working perfectly and emails are received instantly, but when i'm on 3G only manual refresh works.
Another thing i cannot find on ICS, where do i set the frequency of updating for Facebook, twitter etc? Under accounts & sync i can only set this for weather...all the rest, the feature is missing.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to add....I'm on 1.28 since yesterday, stock, not rooted
Any help appreciated

I'm using Exchange push on 3G without any issues. I usually have my G-Tab next to me and they both receive e-mail at almost the exact same time.
For sync setting go to: Settings>Accounts & sync. All the apps that are syncing are listed and if you tap one each one it'll allow you to change what, how, and when they sync. You can add or remove accounts their also.

Barry thanks for confirming about pushmail. As for the Accounts & Sync i know about this. But try to go on eg. facebook. All i see is:
Sync Calendar
Sync Contacts
Sync live feed
No option to change the "when"
Same for all accounts except weather. I'm not sure if 1.26 was the same because as soon as i bought one x i got the 1.28 OTA and installed it

Afaik, you can change the sync interval of facebook and twitter in the option panel of the application itselve.

I have the same issue. It is driving me insane as I need to have access to my GMail on the go

No issues with PUSH on Gmail here at all. 3G and even 2G. Everything just works.

GMAIL Sync Issue

Stock ROM, Gmail stopped syncing. No more email comes in unless I manually go and hit refresh in the Gmail app, or go to settings and force sync it. This just started happening. Have the phone for almost a month without any issues, then as of say an hour ago, it just stopped syncing emails. No error messages in the sync menu. Normally if there is an issue with sync, there is a red exclamation mark stating an issue, but there isn't any. It just shows that Gmail was last synced at the last time I manually synced it.
Any thoughts?

Upon further testing, I see that Gmail does have an active connection to the server. If I mark an email unread in Gmail, it immediately reflects on the Gmail client in the Note II. If I send a test email, my Gmail.com shows the new email, but the Note II Gmail app does not until I manually sync it. It's very weird.

Clear data. Should work.

also you might try opening up your settings in gmail, and go through those settings. There is an option there to have gmail sync on or off. I was going to suggest clear data in the gmail app, but that already been suggested.
I used to have this problem frequently on my last phone. I never found a permanent fix but did notice that somehow the settings in gmail would change by themselves and gmail sync on/off was one of them as well as the one where you can decide to let it notify you for every email or just once for the initial email.
