Odd. New mail indicated. Can't see it.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.

Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?

Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.

I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps

[Q] Messaging app icon showing 1 unread.

Read every message individually, showing 1 unread on app shortcut icon.
Deleted all messages, still showing 1 unread.
Any suggestions?

happens to me the odd time, leave it, it will go away. it's an odd but rare bug!

Leave it?
It's playing havoc with my OCD!!

I had that a lot. Then I started using the Gmail app and updated it from the Market. Since then I haven't had that problem.

No, I'm talking about the stock sms messaging shortcut icon (as found in the bottom toolbar as standard).

what version of the play you using?
like gsm cdma?
happen to me also but it the stupid visual voicemail from verzion lol kept showing up as a txt

i can confirm that bug on 4.0.A.2.368 UK Generic. Using GO SMS Pro but stock messaging app icon shows a number 1 on a circle. good thing it's not on my homescreen. just use a 3rd-party messaging app and replace the stock sms app icon instead. you won't be bothered anymore, as i bet you barely visit your app drawer as i do.

I got the same problem on mine, v annoying!

Galaxy Nexus, notifications and email check frequency

I noticed that the Nexus misses LED notifications and won't go out to check for email unless I wake the phone and open the email app. Pretty annoying. Does it have anything to do with the sleep setting on the phone ?
For example: I work in an environment where I can't always pick up my phone, that's why I prefer the LED notifications. Someone called through the land line and asked if I recieved an important email, they also texted. I wake the phone and there was a text with no LED notification and no email. So I opened the email app and then 10 came through.It is set for 15 minute intervals and SYNCH on all accounts. WTF ?
Later I wake the phone, to find 2 voicemails and no LED notification. It is also set to vibrateand ring on calls and sometimes I believe it doesn't even ring, or vibrate.
Anyone else having this issue ?

I can't say I've had this problem but I'm pretty sure the notification led does not light up indefinitely. You would need a third party app like light flow.

I am having the exact same issue and it is really starting to annoy me (especially since I spent $900CDN to get this device). Anybody have any suggestions on a fix? I have to enter the email application in order to receive new emails. I have it set to check for emails every 10 minutes, it just doesn't.

There is another options for mail - you can setup different notification options for each label (folder) - by default you have there only for inbox. For gmail - there are also options for other labels too (and by default - there are no notifications specified).

I wonder why it worked for a few days and then quit.

Sync is fine here. And so is indicator. Used lightdlow for a bit but the repeated superuser requests made me uninstall

It might be because of your mails belongs to Inbox and Priority box or other labels and you might have notifications and synchronization only for some of them. Not really sure.

Do you have to have the sync feature enabled for it to work. I want to be able to delete emails from my handset only so sync is not important to me. I just can't seem to get my device to "grab" the emails unless I physically open the email app.

The phone will not poll for emails at your set interval (ten minutes) if sync is not on. The reason you get emails when you open the email app is because it auto-syncs when you open the email app.

Synch is and has been on.

Actually, mine worked at the beginning too, but for the last 2 days, nada. Just turned the "sync" feature on but it doesn't seem to have cured the problem.

I've found that my "sync" keeps turning itself off, somewhat randomly. Which would cause the problems mentioned in this thread. So just because you set it on doesn't mean it stays on.
I have a thread on it in the Q&A thread. A poorly visited thread =(

This does annoy, greatly.
EDIT:
Oops, realized this would affect google account related stuff (gmail, voice) but probably not email related notifications, since they are not 'syncing' an account, but just polling a server.

on that note, go to your Gmail account under accounts and make sure mail is set to sync

Ahh... found out my problem. User error.
On the power widget, I thought the rotating arrows was for auto-rotate.
They are not.
Apparently that's the universal sign for SYNC.
Or auto-rotate.

Precisely. That threw me for a loop several times when my brother has come to me asking why Gmail wouldn't sync. The problem is you can (intentionally or unintentionally) hit the "sync" button on the power widget, then delete the widget, and have noooo idea why you're not getting your mail .
Glad you figured it out.

[Q] gmail panel notification stop working.

Hello guys, my gmail notification doesn’t work anymore: the email is received correctly so the sync works, and if I use another notifier (like Go Notification app) it works, but not the gmail notification. It stops working I presume after installed the K9mail app, for fix the annoying issue for long mail cut by gmail ( I wasn’t able to see my Expedia reservation LoL), but now seems that Google finally fix that bug.
I tried several times to clear/stop/sync unsync, but nothing! I uninstalled K9mail, downgrade gmail…nothing: the gmail notification in the panel doesn’t want to show up, all others notification are ok, even the standard samsung mail app.
Of course the gmail settings are ok: sync, notification panel and so on.
I’m pretty sure there is somewhere a conflict, but really no idea where.
Any advice?
I’ve a At&T stock rom JB 4.1.1 Rooted.
Thanks

If you are using the latest Gmail inbox with categories, then notification is enabled by default on the primary folder only. To enable for other folders, open the folder eg updates, click on menu>label settings. Check label notification and notify for every mail.

Doesn't work. I searched around internet and seems there was a bug with K9mail notification and Gmail. They fixed but apparently not completely. Before i installed K9mail everything was ok, now there is something messed up, and my gmail notifications are gone.

Zooper Pro/Gmail Notification Issue

up until tuesday when I received the 4.7 and 4.7.1 update of gmail, my email count is wrong
i have it as followed:
Code:
$(#SUG#+#SUG1#)$
which has always worked and displayed my total number of emails from both accounts.
now on both my htc one and droid dna, the count is equal to -2
the above code has worked flawlessly between numerous updates of gmail and zooper.
i have deleted both the gmail and zooper pro apps, deleted cache and data and installed them fresh and configured them again. still results in a -2
also if I just do a #SUG# or #SUG1# each one of those yield a -1
is anyone else seeing this issue?

This is a confirmed issue between Zooper and the latest Gmail update. There is already a fix for it in testing, though I don't know when it will become available to the public. Don't think it should be long
(Not that this get taking as an official statement: I'm not from the Zooper team, just a user sharing what I know)

Unfortunately I am also seeing the same issue - I purchased Zooper yesterday because of the excellent reviews and feedback, however, the Gmail count just shows -1

This is a known issue. I just recently worked with a support guy from Zooper for a couple of days trying to figure this out. The workaround for now is to point the Widget to your "All Mail" folder. Use this syntax: #SUG^all#

I was having this issue too so I tried putting in #SUGPrimary# and so far it seems to be working. I sent myself a test email and it says I have one unread message. So I changed it to $(#SUGPrimary#+#SUGPromotions#)$ to see if it will show me unread messages from both inboxes.

That syntax works for me. I wonder if there's a way to show other mail clients than Gmail on this unread count? I do not use Gmail primarily, I use Hotmail so would make sense to have it there.
