[Q] Sync/Push Question - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hopefully this is a simple question.
When I have Sync for Exchange "Disabled", should I still be receiving e-mails? I have them set to "Push" under settings.
I have disabled Exchange Sync at night and I still get woken up in the middle of the night with emails.
TIA!

thats because you need to change the email notificatin alert sound to silent. the sync has nothing to do with it.

Thanks. What I'm asking is if sync is turned off, shouldn't that stop the emails? I can't turn off notifications because I need to receive text messages for call outs.
I miss the peak hours setting in setup in pre cm9 roms.

If you have it set to "push" they will come. Why not just put the phone on silent during you sleeping period?

Email - How to unschedule at night

Hey y'all,
Heres the thing.
I have set my TMobile Vario 5 to check email every hour.
Its configured to vibrate when new email/texts arrive.
Thats all fine and dandy, EXCEPT! when im snoozing away in my bed and it starts vibrating on new email in the middle of the night and I wake up and cant go back to sleep. Such a silly nag!
So, for the while I have turned off vibrate for email altogether.
I notice on the Windows live client email sync schedule, you can totally just turn off checking at off-peak hours, while giving it a different schedule for peak hours! Nifty! But that only works for one hotmail/live account, and the next accounts you want to sync are configured against native WinMo email client.
Is there somehow a hack/app etc, whereby I can schedule WinMo native email client to sync only working hours for accounts as gmail/hotmail etc. In the sync schedule theres only options every x mins/hours and no peak/offpeak schedule.
All this cuz I'd want it to vibrate in my pocket on silent in the day on new email, and totally not bother me at night
Any body?
and Thanks in advance!
You're not using pushmail?
Can't you put the phone on silent?

Well excuse if this sounds sooper noob, but pushmail?
I have my work email synced via Exchange and its got a peak/off peak schedule.
As for the silent, that seems very logical only if I didnt want the alarm vibrate to wake me up in the morning!!
I'd also appreciate a solution to this. Not just for nightime, but, for example, if I'm driving and using as mp3 player and I don't want signal interference noise all the time cos checking emails. Or if I just don't want to be bothered.
Is there any way to temporarily suspend the email schedule (without having to go and change all the settings for each email account)?
Ditto!
There should be a sooper nifty single click way of turning off all auto email syncs and then turn on the same way!
Pushmail? As in in the communication tab "Microsoft Direct Push", I have it on all the time and when a new mail is received it is "pushed" to the phone. The phone isn't really searching for mail (which would be "pull").
I usually switch off the sound of my mobile during night because I don't want to be woken by phonecalls / text messages. I use G-Alarm as an alarm which overrides the silent profile of the phone.
You can schedule it through activesync.
start - all programs - activesync - menu - schedule - off peak times - adjust peak times
I just select my peak times to be be 7 days per week from 8am - 10pm.
Then for off peak I select manual. No more emails in the middle of the night!
I have gone to the menus, but everything is greyed out except for Status....any ideas as to why I cannot get to the Schedule tab?
OK - I have disconnected the phone from the USB connection and now just "Schedule" is grey!
You beat me to it!

Emailscheduler: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970
Emailscheduler looks a nice app, but I just need a simple on/off for the scheduling and I don't think this does that. Also I got about 4 errors/restart demands in about 5 minutes, so I've removed it.
there is software from SPB Software, with help of WHAT you can set your SOUND preferences during day or depends on events, e.g. you can set to go in SILENT(or other melody/vibro) from 22.00 to 6.00 and he will do it automatically, and return back LOUD after 6.00 of morning.

Thanks!
Though EmailScheduler is currently a beta and some posts about it needing restarts errors..
But hey, might just be EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
Thanks so much!

[GMail] Mail taking forever to arrive...

When I get mail its taking long periods of time (2 + hours) before the phone syncs and alerts me. Should this not be instant? If I perform a manual sync mail always comes in at that point.
Im using the built in gmail app (not mail). Background data, and Auto sync are checked. Sync Calendar/contacts/Gmail are checked. Gmail account does have IMAP and POP enabled, I had no issue with instant email sync with the PRE.
Is there a setting im missing? I really need email to be more instant than hours.
There are several of us that are having this problem today...If your phone just started doing this today it's likely that this is a problem with a gmail server somewhere.
Mine's been working fine lately. Is your Gmail set to sync as mail arrives, or is it timed?

This has been an issue since I got the device, mail delivery has always been very delayed.

No Email Notifications

Anyone experiencing an issue with email notifications? I have my gmail account and my business exchange accounts configured on my phone but I'm not receiving any notifications for either account.
Yes I've checked the settings and I have "Email Notifications" Checked as well as "Notification Sound" But no notifications at all.
I notice that same issue also and cannot figure out why i get no notificaton sound with email

Are you using a gmail account?
Did you do any of the "Battery Saving" techniques? if yes, start there.
some things that were suggested in some of those links would disable/impair/hamper things like ActiveSync and such.
Are you checking the server manually or letting the phone check it automatically?
If your doing it manually you will get no notification, this drove me nuts to until I figured it out.
I noticed this started last night. Worked fine all day yesterday.

[Q] Exchange is receiving emails when push is set to Never?

I have my corporate email set up on my GNex and it works fine most of the time. About once a night, though, it will pull emails onto my phone and alert me of them even though the push settings are set to Never. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have an exchange account set up to check every 30 min but I always get push notifications of new email still. It's really annoying cause I really don't need it to push me the emails for that account.

[Q] Email Does not sync Automatically

hello everyone
I got the ONE X last night, and I am having a problem in automatically receiving my Emails.
I have set An Exchange Email, Gmail, and Yahoo mail using the device's mail app.
the "Auto-Sync" is Deactivated to save battery and avoid syncing other accounts.
in the mail settings of the Exchange Account, I set the "Peak time Sync" to (Push mail) which means (I guess!!) I would get the Email as soon as it reaches the account.
in the Gmail and Ymail, the Least time available on the "Peak time sync" is 5 minutes.
in either case, I am unable to receive the Emails unless I start the app and manually refresh!!!
the Email reaches Ymail or Gmail on the Laptop, I wait for more than 20 minutes with no notification on the device!
I didn't have this problem when I had the Galaxy SII, and sometimes the Exchange Email reached the device before the Laptop!!
this is very annoying and any suggestion is welcome!
I do not wanna go for the Ymail app from the Market or any other Exchange support app!
NOTE: the Gmail application in the Device behaves the same way,, does not sync until I manually refresh from the app itself
If you want to receive pushed data, auto-sync must be on.

When I had the SGSII I never turned the Auto-Sync On, and I used to get the Emails all the time very quickly!
Both are Android I do now know what is the problem!
Does any one have an idea about this issue??

as pa64 said, the emails will not sync with auto-sync disabled
turn it on and turn off auto sync manually for each app you don't want it to sync

I will give it a try. But doesn't this affect the battery life? Which is already not good?

possibly. but you can either turn it on and have push email or leave it off and have to manually check.
afaik auto-sync is a system wide switch for all updating. if you manually turn it off for everything other than mail only mail will be polling for updates. and there was some stuff a couple of years ago (with the iphone) that seemed to conclude that push is actually pretty battery efficient.
