Like the title suggest, my Gmail does not sync automatically. It only syncs when I manually push the sync button (two arrows). Any suggestions?
Is sync enabled in your google account settings?

Yes it is

Have you tried clearing data of your gmail app? Or removing and re-adding your Google account?

What about the app settings? You can customize the notifications/sync there
I had issues when "browser sync" or something similar was selected in the google account settings. You could try turning that off.
I found out it was not just gmail that was screwing up, all the apps that use push werent working. I ended up doing all sorts of things, dont know what did the trick, but it works now.. i think. Deleted all sync accounts, disabled enabled sync, enabled disabled background limitations, deleted all data for google apps, deleted cache

on my Optimus G in Calendar/settings/accounts when I go to my gmail account the top of the screen has a message "This account is not being synced..." How can I make this happen? I read a suggestion to delete the information in the calendar and let it re-sync, but I don't know how to delete the calendar info. I've gone into gmail calendars on my pc and things seem ok there??? Is there another way to enable the sync?

are you using the power saver features or greenify it has option to turn sync off/hibernate i've noticed sometimes it doesn't reenable them from time to time, try un checking the sync options and can go into settings from the app and mashed sync is clicked

If you have calendar synced (will delete local data): Go to system settings and apps. Click the all tab. Scroll down and find calendar storage clear data and force close. Check calendar/syncing.

unfortunately neither suggestion worked. When I go to the Account & Sync page, Gmail is not listed. I would have expected that. Is this the problem? How do I add Gmail to the sync, or Gmail calendars. My Gmail account actually syncs and pushed mail.
Weird... Gmail should be added to Accounts & Sync when Gmail is installed. I would try uninstalling Gmail entirely and reinstalling.
As for Calendar... as stated above, System Settings>Apps and clear Data on Calendar Storage. This fixed syncing errors for me.
Also, try going into Settings within the Calendar app itself. There you can select which calendars to sync. Maybe all are deselected, so that is the reason for it saying that in Accounts & Sync?
I updated from ICS to rooted JB using DoomLord's method 2 days ago. Since then, Gmail is syncing only very intermittently.
I have Gmail set to sync in my Google account settings, and also in the actual Gmail app's own account setting section, I don't have Extended Standby Mode enabled.
On the few occasions when I have received an email in the app, I've only found it when opening the app itself, as I've not had a notification.
In previous versions, I'd get a Gmail notification immediately if I sent an email from, say, my work PC. Not anymore, though.
Is anyone else having this problem? Has the push Gmail functionality broken in the JB update?
Nope... My Gmail sync works normally..
Have you enabled "Auto Sync data" option in Data Usage settings..?

Yes, I do have "Auto-sync data" enabled in the Data Usage settings.
This is really annoying. Even when I click the Refresh button in the Gmail app, it does not sync the new emails After doing this, and then going into the Account settings for Google, it shows a really old time for Lasy Sync on Gmail.
Any other ideas, anyone?

Wipe? I backed up my apps and wiped the data then restored using titanium backup. No bug except laggy 1080p video recording.

I tried the same lastnight (albeit using MyBackup Pro), and I'm now getting Gmail syncing and notifying correctly Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I am having problems getting my Gmail to sync with my phone and it's driving me crazy. I can open the Gmail app and refresh manually and I receive emails, but they don't sync automatically. I've spent days trying to fix this, searched the internet and tried all of the suggestions I could find. So, here's what I've done (each of these I have tried several times at least, except for the factory reset which I only did once):
-Rebooted
-Checked that sync is enabled from pull down menu. Toggled off and on
-Checked that Gmail is set to sync under accounts->settings. Toggled off and on
-Checked that Gmail is set to sync in the gmail app. Toggled off and on
-Enabled background data. Toggled off and on
-Checked that Gmail notifications are enabled
-Under notifications settings checked to be notified for every message, then unchecked
-Using different Wifi networks or data connection
-Cleared Gmail cache and data
-Removed and re-added gmail account
-Overriding filters in Gmail, and disabling overriding filters
-Disabling ad blocking
-Factory reset
Sometimes the messages will sync, other times they won't. When I clear Gmail data it might work for a few messages then stop working for no apparent reason. Sometimes they will end up in "Important" mail but not in the inbox (I set up notifications for "Important" mail and that works SOME of the time). On the web the messages always end up in my inbox. On my Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 they always end up in the inbox and I always get the notification immediately, so no problems with either of those devices.
Any other suggestions I can try? I'm willing to try just about anything. Anyone else have this problem or does it work fine for you? My next move is flash cyanogenmod or update to 4.3 (which I really don't want to do since I know there's no going back), that's how frustrating this is. Oh yeah, I'm using the Telus version of the S3 with stock 4.1.2 and rooted with latest TWRP recovery.
Edit: Forgot to mention that when using K9 mail seems to sync fine, but I strongly prefer the default Gmail app to K9.
Uninstall/reinstall GMAIL
Always works for me when I have issues with gmail.
Heeter
Forgot to mention that I did uninstall Gmail and downloaded it again from the market, but that didn't help. I also tried replacing it with older versions of the gmail app but that didn't help either. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I have tried logging out of the Facebook app and logging back in then adding the account again to try and force the app to sync.
I have also gone to my Accounts settings and made sure that the Facebook app is set to sync automatically and I have also tried to manually sync by going to More > Sync Now and that also does not work.
Is anybody else having these issues? Anybody have a fix in mind?
Is there a way to sync ONLY my google calendar without syncing other services?
Go to Settings / User & Accounts / Google and select only the options Sync Calendar and Sync Tasks in Calendar.

When I go there I have the only option of syncing everything including drive which I don't want. I just want to sync calendar ONLY. Btw theres no 'sync tasks' options, just sync calendar, wifi, fit, contacts, drive, people and games cloud.
I also tried installing 2 sync widgets from the playstore to sync my calendar upon pressing their buttons but it doesn't work. Do you know where in the settings on the phone I need to modify to get the widgets to work? The phone isn't letting the widgets work which is strange.
This is how it looks on my phone. However I have installed the google apps so maybe that's why it looks different.

Hey dude. your response lead me to the answer. What happened to me was I disabled the google app which turned off syncing. Now I've re-enabled the google app and its working fine now.
The only issue now is how to reduce the amount of times it syncs since its syncing all the time. If you know of a good app that limits syncing times please let me know. Thanks.
