[Q] Email and App Sync Management

Hi;
I am the proud new owner of a DHD having just migrated from an iPhone 3G, this phone is just awesome but will take a heck of a lot of getting used to, its not a smart phone its a god dam technical revelation!!!
Anyway, I set up email (BT Yahoo), Facebook, Twirtter, Skype and created a Google Mail Account (Had to do download apps) but its not setup in mail yet.
After setting the above up I noticed that 3G was constantly on, is this normal?
Anyway my question is how do prevent Facebook et al from constantly syncing? On my iPhone they would only sync when I opened the application.
Also once an application has been opened how do I know / make sure that it is off, does simply switching to another screen switch it off or is it still running in the background using up batter charge?
Many thanks in advance.

Go to Settings / Accounts & syncs
Under there there is Auto-sync check box, you can check and select what to sync over there.
My question is How can I set Gmail check status on a random basis, once I check out Google it's immediatly push mail but I want it to check it i.e. every 4 hours.
How can I do that?

There's the option in the mail app I think. You can set two modes, for example 1h intervals during tha day and 4h at night etc.

CyanogenMod 10.2, no Gmail notifications, every sync checkbox checked

Hello,
I updated my Sprint Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) to CyanogenMod 10.2 yesterday.
I flashed the latest gapps, and I updated my gmail apps to the latest one on the play store (4.7.1).
However, when I receive emails I don't get any notifications. However I still receive emails, and if I press refresh, then I got notifications.
I read lots of posts about it, but most of them told to check synchronization. Which I did.....everywhere.
I went to Account -> Google and checked GMail.
I went to Data Usage -> Menu and checked Auto-sync data
I went to GMail apps -> Settings and checked Sync GMail
I went to GMail apps -> ... @gmail.com settings and checked label notifications and set ringtones
I checked that gmail was not checked in Privacy Guard, and that the app was allowed to push notifications.
I tried to revert to gmail apps 4.5, clear data, remove google accounts and add it again, reboot the phone, re-update the gmail apps.
I tried from WiFi and 4G.
Nothing worked.
I don't feel like it's a sync issue, as I well received email (even if it's not instant).
I did a fresh install of CM 10.2 (stable), wiped cache and everything (I had stock ROM before).
I also think I do not receive facebook notifications.
Does these applications need to run in the background to get notifications ? Because when I come back to desktop after checking mails for example and goes to Manage Apps -> Running, GMail is not in there.
Thank you.
Edit: Could it be an issue with GCM ?
Edit: At some points I received notification (30min after I sent the test email).
A question is, how does gmail app works ? Is it synchronizing and emitting notification if new messages, or the other way around, if receiving new messages, emit a notification and synchronize ?

To test GCM, I downloaded Push Notification Test, and I can trigger the notification (step 3), but the system never receive it.
However I'm not sure why. Is there a way to restart gcm ? (I already tried to reboot, but it doesn't change anything.
I tested to disable profiles, just in case one of the profile overrides notifications. No luck.

It seems I sometimes receive notifications but sometimes after a long time after I receive the email.
Did anyone already got this kind of issue ?

Your not alone. The one thing i loved about the GMAIL app was the instant email notifications.
Now it takes hours (if it all) to notify me of an email since the update of 4.7.1.
Really would like a fix too (using a Galaxy Note 3)
EDIT: Seems to be working for me now. I updated all google apps on the phone, and in chrome i was logged in under another email, and relogged into mine. Then i tested it and appears to be working for now.
Hope this helps

In the changelog of 4.7.1 they said they fixed the sync, but I'm not sure it's completely fixed.
All my apps are up-to-date on my phone, and I don't have chrome. I'm never logged on my gmail with my browser and I don't have other gmail address.
That's annoying.
But I think I don't receive FB notifications either. I think it's more an issue in the CM. Do you use Cyanogen too ?

The problem is happening to me again. Its only since the update a few days ago which is really annoying. I am using stock so shouldn't be your mod. I had no sync problems before the update, but now the inbuilt email app beats the gmail app every time, to the point the gmail app doesnt even send notifications anymore.
Im at a loss as to what to do

As for me, I'm not sure this is the app, because as I said I also don't receive FB notifications.
And I also tried with gmail 4.5 and it didn't work either. After I revert to 4.5, I sent myself a test email, and I got the notification immediately, but after that, I sent other email, and this time I got no notifications anymore.

No email card

I have a SW3 and a Z1 compact - i tried everything but i get no email cards on the SW3
-i resetted the SW3
-i checked every notification setting in the emai settings and i changed it again and again
all other notifications works (sms, viber, calendar) but i cannot get the email notifications
any suggestions?
edit 1:
Solved problem: removed email account, rebooted z1 compact, added email account -> email cards working on SW3
edit 2:
Correction:
Not solved - does only work 2-3 times and then it stops - after i reboot the z1 it works again 2-3 times

ok, i think i have a solution now:
i disabeld every app permission to fetch the notifications (security->notifications) and then it worked everytime - then i activated all the apps that i need (there where two left over - apps that had the permission to fetch notifications that i don´t use anymore....) and it still works.
the two apps are:
-floating notifications
-Garmin connect
i don´t like to test the both if one is the bad boy and the other one not...but now it seems to work!

Not getting push notifications from GMail

Strange, I am not getting GMail notifications since I have my Pixel 2XL
Messages stops working after few minutes after the screen is off
1. I have tried to reinstall GMail + clean cache/data
2. tried to use Inbox app but same results
3. Other email apps (Edisson Email) works fine with push notifications
4. All other apps using push notifications works like a charm
any sugestions?

Please check whether sync option is enabled.
users & accounts > Automatically sync data > Enable

Checked, done - other Google items like contacts calendars etc are syncing properly

I've had this issue with Gmail for at least 8 years on every phone I've owned. It works when it wants to, that's about all I've learned in that time.
Interesting thing now that I'm using Tesla Unread: Whenever Gmail is not doing it's thing, I will see a badge for unread messages even though there is no notification. Open Gmail, and it shows unread messages in the inbox menu (but not in the box itself). A minute or so after opening the app, it will download the message and give a notification.
I no longer rely on Gmail, because of this. It's been going on for years and many people have had the same issue.

Question GMail - no notifications

Hi,
i don't get any gmail notifications in MIUI on F3.
I've already disabled powersaving on the apps "google" and "gmail".
I've also checked the notification inside the gmail app is set to "all".
Any ideas how to fix?
Thx a lot

Self-Removed

Have you tried disabling MIUI power savings?
I notice GMail notifications are usually delayed compared to MIUI's built-in mail app or Outlook, that's because I believe GMail does not support push notifications for Gmail accounts.

@Medvosteri Locking don't fixes the problem.
@Nemix77 If you mean the app specific, i did.
Notifications are not delayed, they simply don't appear.. even after hours..
Gmail was working fine on my old Galaxy A50.. now i have a flagship killer without E-Mail notifications :/

Update: Seems a reboot after disabling power safeing on the Gmail App did the Trick...
