Gmail Sync delay - Nexus One General

Hi All
Is anyone experiencing gmail sync delays like 15 minutes these days?
Or it's just me?
If it's just me, any help is appreciated.

How is your cell reception? Mine at most is a couple minutes.

This has been asked before.
In short it may be running applications needing properly closed (not just tapping the X) or perhaps Active Sync is running in the background or your phone is constantly swiching bands and should be set to a fixed band or maybe you have it polling push mail every 5 minutes etc etc.
Have a look at these suggestions:

and also do some searches here - it has come up before.

Any other owners having some problems with push Gmail?

Normally I get my emails instantly, but I've been noticing that when my phone sleeps for a while I will not get my email instantly. For example, I just check my email on my computer and noticed that I got an email almost 30 minutes ago, so I checked my EVO (woke it up after sleeping for an hour or so), and I got the email a few minutes later. I've also noticed that sometimes after waking up from sleep mode I won't have a data connection for a minute or so. I turned on wifi right now, and I just got a test email instantly. Thoughts?
That sounds like a ****ty problem. Please keep us updated.
Sometimes task killing gmail causes all sorts of notification issues. Makes sure a task killer or something similar isn't closing it.
Not sure on the data loss on wake up that could be a bug or defective radio. Obviously if there is no data connection you won't get the email. You might have a bad unit as we haven't heard anyone else complain and with a few thousand units out there a bug like that would likely be a big issue.

I don't use a task killer, so that isn't the issue. I actually just got an email on time just now without touching my phone for a while, so maybe it was just some weird bug. I'm still going to keep checking this out, though.

I have heard from those who tried to activate the Google I/O versions to their old numbers have been told they might experience problems because the EVO is not officially recognized on the Sprint network until the 4th.
Could this be related. I mean even if you don't port your number the EVO is still operating on a system that does not know it is an evo.

I'm pretty sure this was a Google thing more than a EVO thing. I was having similar issues with my iPhone.
I have this problem on and off, but I really think it's just the data connection to the phone.
If I send myself a gmail, or google voice, it sometimes gets delayed, sometimes comes instantly.
I just tried it right now in a highrise in downtown los angeles (no data issues) and an email took about two minutes to show up on the phone (after it showed up in my inbox).
There were issues with gmail push last night. Seems fine now.

Exchange Push Users with Froyo

I discussed this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713392&page=7
If you are an Exchange Push user on Froyo experiencing significant battery drain and frequent if not constant 3G connection I found that you must turn Push Off and then back On.
This resolved the rapid battery drain and constant 3G connection issue I experienced. Just for your information.
I think this was a result of the Update rather than Fresh Install, it accompanied many settings I had to re-do.
Exchange - I take it back. Resetting exchange did not fix my issue. On Eclair, the push email would not keep the network always connected. On Froyo exchange push is running the CPU at 20% constantly and keeping 3G connection going.
Not sure how to stop that, but it only occurs when I turn on Push. And this definitely was not here before. Thanks to this my battery goes from Full to gone in a few hours. I have since turned off push email.

This happened periodically on Eclair for me as well - just "clear data" for the email app and set the exchange server up again. Seems to fix it when it creeps up from time to time.
On a side note battery life w/push on Froyo has been better so far. With 2 push accounts I am now losing < 1% / hr when sitting idle (overnight). On Eclair it was just shy of 2% so this was a nice improvement.
I have now done a full factory restore and reinput the Exchange Push account information.
It is still at 17% CPU usage and keeps the 3G connection on constantly.
This simply did not happen before, and is draining my battery rapidly.
Update:
As if to prove my point again, once I set the email from Push to Pull every 15 minutes the CPU load dropped down to 0% and the 3G connection stopped cycling. Not sure why this is happening. Is anyone else noticing that Push keeps 3G constantly active and phone runs really hot?
SO FRUSTRATED!
Please someone else tell me they are experiencing this with Froyo Exchange.
I am not able to stop exchange from cycling 3G and Email runs a huge CPU percentage and the phone heats up continually until the battery dies.
Is anyone else on exchange seeing this problem????
Hello All -
I know I continue to post on this but I am really hoping some of you that are smarter than me can help me out.
On 2.1 - Exchange would get can email, my 3G arrows would cycle, the email would show up. That is all.
On 2.2 - Exchange does not get email, 3G arrows ALWAYS cycle and the cpu is running constantly. The phone last night was over 100 degrees.
To experiment, I installed Touchdown. Exchange works perfectly. No 3G or CPU issues. It does not constantly sync.
A few items I noticed:
1) SyncManager for Email is the culprit and causing the problems
2) My corporate email is ActiveSync or MS Exchange 2007
3) I have read elsewhere that this is Exchange constantly trying to check the server and it gets stuck in a loop.
Please friends, this is going to cause me to have to give up my phone. I dont want that. I want my native Exchange to work. Any ideas at all?
I'm having another issue (and it's being tracked on android official support board)..
Whenever I use PUSH for exchange, it works fine. Yeah it keeps connection alive, but doesn't really use the battery that much.
However, if I switch from PUSH to some interval (5, 10 minutes, etc), sync manager gets stuck. It'll eat up 50% CPU CONSTANTLY until battery is dead. Switching back to PUSH fixes it immediately.
Google assigned an engineer to this problem, but nothing yet.

Do you have the link to the tracking of this? I think this is the same thing happening to me, SyncManager getting stuck and just running up the process until the phone dies.

Hmm.. strange, I can't find it now.. Last time I checked it, first 2.2 was released.
Maybe it's fixed and closed now? I've enabled 10-minute sync in my exchange, I'll see if it still gets stuck in FRF82.
I wonder if any smart network Dev out there can tell us why SyncManager is getting stuck trying to work with our Exchange Servers?
Ok Friends Help me out with this.
I installed OS Monitor.
With my exchange running it says:
"07/01/2010 13:07:27 [DEBUG]
NativeCrypto915860
Freeing Open SSL session"
07/01/2010 13:07:51 [DEBUG]
dalvikvm915860
GC_FOR_MALLOC freed 7078 objects / 511984

It repeats the OpenSSL ever second or less and the GC every 6 seconds. It never stops.

Bump....installed FRF91, no fix.
Anyone know what is going on with this? Is this a server or OS issue? Could it be a bad install somewhere?

Update: almost all day on 10-minute update with Exchange (and I barely have any reception here, goes from 0 bars to 2 bars and back).. sync is NOT using up CPU at all, and mail is working fine. Looks like it's fixed?

After much hassle I think my issue now has to do with my IT having self-signed certificates rather than purchasing them. This means they would have to update it to work with whatever Froyo did in exchange security. I think this is why it works initially then goes into a loop of OpenSSL attempts.
This is my only guessing from half-truths and limited understanding of the series of tubes.
I would really appreciate anyone out that understands this stuff chiming in on what is going on?
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9455
got a google code issue going in case anyone else runs up against this openssl infinite loop.
I am having both issues. When I use push, the phone stays warm and the battery drains in a few hours. If I switch from push to poll, no improvement - but if I reboot with poll setting, it works fine.
My company uses Active Sync with Exchange 2003 and I doubt we would use self-signed certs.
By the way I am running 2.2 on a G1 with Cyanogen ROM.
I have a funny issue with my exchange. When i get a new mail, i get a notification on my N1. But even after i have read that email on my PC.The notification doesnt go away .... and when i check my phone after some time i think i have recieved a new email but its only notification of old one .... is there a workaround for that guys ?
Cheers
Nice thread hijack
I have an Exchange 2010 server setup with a non-trusted cert from CAcert.org and don't have that issue using Push on Froyo.
I assume you enabled the option "Accept all SSL certificates" when configuring the account?
I did in fact "accept all" and I have been working with many google developers as of last week to figure out what is going on.
It is not actually IT, it seems it is an OS issue as more and more people are seeing this issue come up.
P.S. to the notification comment above, that is normal. dont hijack my thread.

On Cyanogenmod 6 and Dropping Emails...

So here is an interesting one. I work from home and live in NYC and don't drop reception that often, well about a week ago I had to go to Colorado for work and at the office building I was in I kept walking in and out of reception, well later in the day (I had signal) and noticed that I wasn't getting emails on my cell but had still been receiving them in my Outlook Inbox on my work PC. I was there for three days and the behavior was consistent; I'd start work with reception and with emails in sync, then after some time I'd need to do a reboot to get my emails to come in.
Yesterday I needed to drive to NJ and work in a different office building where once again, my reception was off and on, well towards the end of the day I noticed the same consistent behavior of work emails (Exchange) would stop coming in and it needed a reboot to clear it up.
Baseband: 32.36.00.28H_4.06.00.12_7
Kernel: 2.6.34.5 [email protected] #1
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

use airplane mode to power cycle the cellular radio. it will sync if/when you have reception again.
That's kind of a poor work around though... It would make more sense if it just consistently worked. When I was on 2.2 (official ROM) I never had this issue, but with CM6 it's obviously happening fairly regularly and needing to babysit whether or not my mail is actually in sync certainly doesn't make sense. :/
Thanks for the post though, appreciate the though.

What he suggested has zero to do with your email; it's overall connectivity. When you change areas you should go in and out of airplane mode to re-associate with the towers, it's just how it is. It usually happens itself, but sometimes you'll notice a large difference in tower availability and connections to those towers.

Delayed Notifications

It's really annoying to get a message and be notified minutes after. I don't really care for email notifications because most of them are not urgent, but I also use WhatsApp and yesterday I received a notification 1 HOUR after the person sent it to me. It's crazy. I think it has something to do with google talk? The delay is in both WiFi and 3g/hspa. Does anyone have the same issue? Or know how to fix this? Thanks
bump
Same here.
The problem is not the notifications themselves, it's something about the data and the phone.
Gmail does not get the email pushed. When it does, the notification goes off immediately.
But the new email can take as long as 20-30 minutes to get to the phone.
Same about whatsapp, FB... everything that has to do with data.
I tried on wifi and 3G - same behavior, meaning, it is not related to the wifi-when-screen-is-off thread or any change to the QOS in the router, as suggested in other threads I've found.
I am sure I am not the only one to experience this.
Not sure if this is a Nexus 4 or an Android 4.2.1 issue.
Who else has this prob?
Any ideas as to what we can try to do to get to the bottom of this?
i have the same problem on wifi as well as 2g/3g

Congratulations, you just revived a thread that's been dead for 7 months for no reason at all!
i had 3 nexus 4 an they all have the same 2g/3g delay.. i think is some mobile provider fault,they use network technology or something ...
