Hey,
I have had my Evo for a week or so now, and LOVE IT. For some reason it all the sudden has quit syncing my Gmail Emails. If I manually open my Gmail account, and click Refresh under Menu, it will download the new emails. Other than this, its not syncing them.
I have double checked under the Sync Settings in the Settings area, and they are all set to sync.
What have I done, or not done to make this happen?
Thanks,
Bryan

Mine started doing the same thing today. Have you rooted/flashed a new Rom? I am rooted and running Fresh .3.
Stock rom, but I have run Unrevoked Root program. Thats all I have other than the stock rom, and a ton of programs.

I noticed this today as well. I thought it was just me! It seems to happen regardless of whether I'm on 3G or Wi-Fi. I'm running stock 2.1; no root. It worked perfectly from day one, and I only noticed it today. For some reason, I don't think the phone is syncing with the Google... or GMail isn't pushing it out to the Evo.
Yeah, same here. Tried playing with various settings - was syncing this morning, then quit around 10:30-ish. I'm assuming it's something on the backend and not a problem with the phones.
Yea, I am thinking the same thing, something with the Gmail Servers, if I am not the only one having the problem.
Figured it might have been something that I had installed, but I guess not.
Maybe a google techy will figure it out for us.

yep, same here. not worried about it, it'll be back
I'm glad we got this thread started. I was beginning to think I was going crazy, or my phone was at least. The last thing we need is another "problem" occurring with our phones.
Is it ok that knowing you all have the same problem makes me feel better? haha
I also noticed that my Google Account (Menu>Settings>Accounts & Sync>Google) hasn't updated in a few hours since giving it time to "work itself out." I know that if I update it manually, it'll push the Gmail through, but I don't understand why the Google sync would just stop updating on its own.
Just giving an update.
Didn't seem to get Gmail to sync today. I don't know whether this problem is isolated to a select few of us but I wanted to fix this and just resorted to resetting Gmail. I followed the instructions here, and it's been working as it should for the past few hours... I hope it lasts...
Directions: (Edit, I'm unable to post links so here are the instructions)...
Troubleshooting: Problems with sync
On Android devices, the Gmail application is automatically synced with the Gmail server, and vice versa. If you experience problems with syncing, try clearing your device's Gmail application data and doing a fresh sync with the server.
Just follow these steps:
1. Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Applications, then Manage applications.
4. Select Gmail Storage.
Note: If you don't see 'Gmail Storage,' press < Menu > again, then select Filter > All.
5. Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
6. Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > button on your device.
7. Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
To restart your device, press and hold the < Power > or < End call > button, then select Power off. Press the < Power > or < End call > button to power on.
Your device will re-sync with the server after restarting (this may take several minutes).
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, check to see if you have any account notifications on your device.
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >. Select Notifications. If you have any system notifications about a sign-in or password error, you should make sure your account information is correct in order for Gmail to sync.

I did the same thing and mine started working fine last night also.
Still working today.

Had the same problem. I had two Gmail accounts syncing. I tried the fix above but it did not work. I removed the 2nd Gmail and did it again and then it worked. Not sure why. Wanted to post this if anyone had the problem that was not being fixed to try deleting multiple Gmail accounts.
Google Not Pushing to HTC EVO
Hey guys,
I wanted to state the fact that I am having the same problems and thought that I would get it out there.
I originally had 11 email accounts syncing with my device, and all were flawlessly pushing the mail to me as it came thought Google's servers. I have noticed that over the past few days that I have had to do this syncing manually by going into the app and pressing refresh.
I am deleting all my email accounts except the main two and forwarding all the others to the main email account.
Here is the kicker... I also have Google Voice and it has stopped syncing the text messages to me as well. I just now received a text from my sister that she sent yesterday. (Just arrived as I am typing this and it is timestamped for yesterday.)
I am testing this out to see if deleting 9 email accounts, deleting the Gmail storage through the application settings menu, and rebooting my device will help.
I do also want to add: I am utilizing the Task Killer application. I have enabled in the settings the option of viewing all of the background tasks. I have ignored everything that says Google on it, Gmail, or has the words sync in it. (Before it was killing all the apps and background tasks things.) I am on the Stock 2.1 rom and I am not rooted with my HTC EVO.
I am going to see if this works - and if it doesn't you will hear back from me.
Good luck to the rest of you guys out there experiencing the same problems with your Sprint EVO. (I still love the device and hope this is a minor bug...)
Update: Right now everything is working correctly... We will see tomorrow. Good luck guys and gals.

i started having gmail sync issues this morning. around the same time i turned off calendar sync to see how much it improved battery life.
although the box is still checked to sync, i've had to manually sync gmail all day.
i guess the next step is to re-enable calendar sync and see if that fixes it.
I've had problems with gmail auto syncing as well. This is what I've found gets things back in order..
clearing data for the gmail apps, I also clear data for the other google apps just to be safe.
Then I go into gmail and set settings>labels>inbox to "sync all"
I also learned that shutting down gtalk also breaks gmail auto sync, not signing out, stopping the app. I had sartup auditor set to prevent gtalk from starting on boot, when I let it start up on boot my gmail sync's just fine.

You are not alone. I have a friend with a BlackBerry storm from ATT which stopped syncing about the same time. It could be a problem at their end.
Still syncing today!

Mine stopped syncing yesterday around 2p mountain time, reset the phone, pulled the battery several times nothing helped. Set up a new gmail acct through the phone, that worked fine, but my original just would not sync. So I pull the battery, and pulled the sd card. Then I put it all back together and it started working. I dont know if it was coincidence or not. But yall might want to try pulling the SD card before going through a reset.
Hi got my new phone, but how to tell android that it will only sync my mails during daytime?
In Symbian and WinMobile this was part of the mail/exchange client maybe i am simply too blind to see it.
I would like to know too but my problem is getting the bloody thing to sync. I set it to fetch every 30 mins but it is not fetching at all.....
Mine syncs with imap, gmail and exchange pretty easy. Just opened the email app that was preinstalled and added the accounts. But it does it 24 hours every 60 minutes...
Assuming it's an exchange account:
(From Home)
Menu > Settings > Accounts and sync > your exchange account > Account settings > Sync schedule
This is on my Galaxy w/ the latest software, not sure if the other Galaxy's throughout the world have different options.
There doesnt seem to be an option to do this with gmail though, which sucks.
I think the OP wants to disable updating during the night and is not asking how to set the update frequency.
I use an App on my Hero (not got an SGS yet) called Timeriffic which allows you to mute etc by setting schedule - it can be used to control another App called APNdroid I believe that will do what you want to do.
I only use Timeriffic to mute and I set it for different times on different nights, so my phone stays active later at the weekend (when I go out) and it also unmutes later at the weekend (when I get a lie in if my son doesn't make too much noise).

If the OP wants to go beyond Exchange and stop Gmail and others at night, there's an app called 'Setting Profiles' in the market for $3 which will let one create a night-time profile which disables the automatic data sync for all accounts, it's not account specific but sounds like it'd do the trick with timed profiles.
It also does ringtone/sounds, brightness, GPS, wallpaper, volume and other settings and can trigger off of time of day, calendar, location, call, battery level, headset, bt, wifi etc.
I use the power control widget, and just turn off sync'ing when I go to bed.

There i expected it to be, but isn't. I got software version F3 in the end on my Galaxy S.
But it should really be an global option to say data sync is on off.
Why when I switch my phone on into Android, loads(about 15) apps are running in Advanced App Killer, such as Myspace, Mail etc, things i've not yet touched on my phone. I close them, but after a few hours i check what apps are running and random apps i've not opened(nor appear on screen) are showing?
Anyone else have this?
I think your apps are opening because you have auto data sync turned on. If you turn off sync of these accounts (mail, myspace) they probably won't be active.

oh thank you, stupid question but where do i find the setting to switch auto sync off?
*****More Info*****
Found it, was in an obvious Accounts & Sync menu, man i feel stupid lol, thanks
From the home screen, puss the menu then settings, go to accounts and sync. Disable auto sync and especially background data. You will definitely notice less apps opening up, but you will have to enable it again if you want to do certain things. I.e. market, gmail etc...

The problem with turning off Background data and Auto-sync is you will lose other useful features, e.g. GMail notification, weather updates, Market app (requires Background data) etc.
I use an app called "Startup Auditor" which allows you to manually turn off the programs you don't want to run upon startup, and additionally, auto-run after startup.
Hope this helps.

I am having problem regarding my screen wake up. It wakes up from time to time automatically. I installed Wakelock Detector to track the app and found out Window manager has woken up the screen. How to disable it?
Another problem I have is callendar sync.
From time to time after restart my calendar sync disappears, I have no callendar at all and there is no ability to sync it in settings -> accounts -> google -> callendar simply becouse, IT DISSAPPEARS!!! After restar everything comes back to normal for few hours or to next restart....
HELP!!!
I have figured out what wakes phone... It was battery manager which draineg my battery... sic...
About the second problem, I can add that deleting google account and re-adding it also gives me back option to sync calendar for few hours...
Do not use unnecessary apps, unless it requires for purpose. Stock apps are enough according to me. These all are just fashionable, no real purpose. Some rungs in background and keeps ram and drains battery.
About the calendar/splaner app: again look for any aftermarket apps if anything causing this. remove if any apps for sync automated etc. From account uncheck google calendar sync or turn off Sync from notification then Go to apps > all apps and find the splanner and clear all data including cache memory. (If you have only google calendar, contact birthdays data then no probs, but all manual events will be gone.) After clearing restart the phone and again check calendar from account or enable sync. Let it sync or do a manual google sync and then check. check once and again restart the phone and then check again.
If this solve then fine otherwise do a factory reset or do a hard reset by holding power+home+vol button. Its clearly a app related issue.

Hmmmmm, I wiped phone, installed everything from begining... AND!!! Nothing.... It's the same.
Please Help...
I disabled them as an effort to minimize wakelocks (similar to what is listed in this post)
It's definitely helped with getting better battery life but I prefer to have my email sync and LinkedIn sync back. They're all enabled but just don't sync unless I manually do it.
Can anyone advise? Screen caps of current enabled/disabled Google Services Framework attached
Edit: I've tried turning Sync off and turning back on, logging out and logging back in to the account, turning sync off and back on via the menu in Data Usage screen

Sorry, those screenshots are slightly incorrect. I did in fact re-enable the *checkin receivers and have rebooted the phone but still no "real time" syncing happening with my Gmail app.
Finally revisited this as my phone is still unable to sync notifications in "real time" at all.
I'm finding that checking all the "checkin" services/receivers under Google Services Framework via ROM Toolbox does not actually keep them checked (confirmed via refresh).
Any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?
