SO,
Just wondering... I was just looking on an EVO forum to see if anyone had started getting their 2.2 roll out and noticed a thread titled:
Gmail still not syncing reliably on EVO...
Post #4 suggests that gtalk triggers gmail syncing. Now I use a true gmail account so checkout etc... all work on my phone, but my primary email is a google apps account (mydomain.com). I have my primary gmail account set to not actually sync anything, and my apps account syncing all three options.
The whole Froyo single sign on/ attaching gtalk/gapps to the first gmail account and not allowing my apps account to log into talk seems like a valid reason that would cause my non (pure) gmail account to be pushing correctly.
Does this make sense, is there any validity to it?

edit: So, some testing. I disabled forwarding (in gmail web) for my [email protected] account and ENABLED gmail sync on that account.
Sending email to that account is pushing to my phone just fine. with or without gtalk signed in, and it's even working after I killed the gtalk app via systempanel.
I am NOT however getting pushed email to my secondary account (google apps) [email protected] google apps account.
Something weird is going on.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more on this.
I have 2 separate gmail accounts on my phone and it seems that I only get updates for emails that get sent to the primary gmail account (the first account that was used to set up the phone initally). Any mail that gets sent to the second account doesn't get updated until after I hit the 'Sync Now' button in the menu.
I just had a friend with an EVO on stock 2.1 update 1 test this. He also uses google apps, and actually only had his gmail setup on his phone.
He added his apps account, and set gmail to sync.
I sent him a test message and he got it right away. I know that my phone also worked correctly before going to 2.2. Now, in 2.1 for ME I used gtalk with my google apps ID, where as my friend has his setup with his gmail.com account (the way I'm forced to do in 2.2 right now).
Ok right now at 10:20pm my gmail is pushing instantly (at least for new mail) noticing that if I read the mail on the phone/PC the update is not making it back to the other very quickly. I read/deleted the test message about 3 minutes ago, and the phone still believes there's a new message there.
At first I thought it was because I am hom and on WIFI, however I disconnected, and sent another test. It's working the same on 3G.
I seriously noticed this tonight as I was sending myself a link to the how-to downgrade HBOOT so I could get rid of the OTA radio updat and go back to 2.1... hanging on a bit longer now I guess
Edit: Literally, as soon as I hit the post button, the icon disappeared on my phone so its slow but working

Well ive pretty much given up on getting my gmail pushed to my 8125 since nothing has seemed to work so i was just going to go back to using outlook to check my mail every 5 minutes. This used to work when i first set it up but i tried it today and whenever i hit send/receive it never brought up any messages even though i just sent it from my yahoo account. I then deleted the gmail account off of the phone and re-set it up. I sent a test message from my yahoo account, hit send/receive, and it showed up. I then sent a test message from my comcast account and it showed up also, one problem though....the first message from my yahoo account dissapeared. I thought it was strange so i hit send/receive again and the second message i sent to myself from comcast also dissapeared. Im not deleting the messages off of the servers or anything, they just dissapear whenever i hit send/receive. Im getting really fed up with trying to set up my email account and im very tempted to just go back to my treo....
I know the feeling...
I have a T-mobile MDA and I have the same problem with gmail. When I first set it up I had 200+ emails then everytime I did a send/receive I would loose some until finally I lost all of them. I tried downloading straight from gmail and the same thing happened. Now I can't get anything when I send/Receive. According to T-mobile this is a known issue with gmail...they said that gmail is still a beta setup and their pop settings don't always work. I have since just had my gmail forwarded and it seems to work..atleast I know that it is there
Well I don't know if this exactly a fix....but I use gmail as my main account and I just have my gmail forwarded to an exchange account I have. I mean...I do have to prune two accounts but, as for now, its the only soloution I have.
Anyone having send/recieve issues with the gmail app?
I just tried sending a bunch of photos to a seperate account and recieved the message twice, but sending through the android email app over IMAP seems to send normally.
Can't for the life of me see what the problem is.
Hi, I just got my Magic a couple of days ago and I have noticed issues with google mail.
A couple of times now I have checked the mail through the google mail icon on my phone and it has shown Inbox (1) but just doesn't download the message to my phone.
I have tried sync'ing it but it just takes forever to come down. No issues with signal at the time so not really sure what is wrong. One time the email did turn up after I manually sync'ed about 5 times and the other time I logged onto my google mail via the browser rather then the app and read the email, (that email never did arrive on my phone!?)
Hopefully some kind email genius will come along and help us both ;0)
Well I've noticed after setting the email account up through the android app that gmail seems to sync properly now and notify about new mails, though I haven't gotten around to testing if the send is working properly or not on the gmail app.
Incidentally I also switched down to 2G to save battery, but I don't think that'd have an impact...
Hi all
Sorry if this is not an appropriate place to ask, but please let me know of somewhere more suitable if not.
I've got two google accounts bound to my N1. One is a google apps premier account (which I use for email sync) and a normal googlemail account (which I use for calendar and contacts sync).
I use Gtalk on my desktop PC's for the first account (premier apps) and not on the second one, however when I fire up Gtalk on my N1 it is using the second account and not the one I want! I have not found an option to change this behaviour.
Does anyone know how to change which account Gtalk uses on the N1?
Thanks
Android will use the account you entered first. I entered my google apps account first then the gmail account and if I now try to remove the gmail account it says I can't. This is because android has bound the gmail account to the services not supported on google apps accounts.

Hm. I added my gmail account first and then the gapps one. I too found that if I try and remove an account it wants me to factory reset my phone and lose all data/config! This is pretty crappy.
I'm hoping someone can come up with a hack or something to change this behaviour regarding gtalk as I certainly don't want to reset my phone simply to get gtalk working.
I think a reset is the only way for now :-/
This is really poor. Google have slipped up somewhat with annoyances like this
hmm... i've the same problem .. then all we can do is wait
My current workaround is to use the eBuddy application, which is working just fine.
Probably off topic, but has anyone had complaints from their regular buddies about the phone causing frequent disconnects/reconnects to their chat client? One of mine got so annoyed by the alerts that he has cut me off... (using pidgin with my primary gmail account)
(I'm guessing that it happens when I'm connected via wi-fi and voice calls come in... ? ) Does anyone have any settings suggestions for either 1) staying connected or 2) having it just wake up when needed?
I think you can go into Manage Applications in Settings, hit menu and then filter, then select All. Clear the data for Gapps and Gmail, and then reboot. If you do it right, it should ask you to login again like it did when you first turned your phone on. Login with whichever account you want to use Gtalk with.
I just recently noticed that I can't send e-mails with my gmail account. I am using Fresh Evo and normally send e-mail from my computer, but I just noticed that I cant send from my phone. Any ideas of what could be wrong?
A little bit of info would be useful (ie, what version of Gmail) and here's a few steps to troubleshoot:
1) Wipe Gmail app's data and try again.
2) Remove and re-add your Google account, and try again.
3) Try another Google account and see if it works.
4) Nandroid backup, wipe phone, reflash ROM, see if it works now.
EDIT: One last thing to try: Make sure you can sign in to Talk. If Talk's busted, then Gmail's busted.
I've never been able to send gmail while on wifi. Are you on wifi?
Cox blocks gmail, Sprint blocks Cox. Neat reciprocity.
IIRC Gbhill @ androidcentral has a work around.
Gmail has been doing this to me a lot lately. They get stuck in the outbound box. If I reboot they send and it works for a while. Clearing data in gmail app works sometimes.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Similar problem here, outgoing mail was stuck in the outgoing mail box forever. I have a coule of gmail accounts but this was occurring on the primary gmail account. I noticed that account was always having trouble syncing contacts as well, so I removed the main account and re added it. So far that seems to have solved the outgoing and sync issues.
I had to wipe my phone when this happened to me.
is anyone else having trouble with multiple gmail accounts?
i get all my notifications instantly, like normal, for my first gmail account. but nothing gets pushed to my second one. if i go into the inbox and refresh it, then it works fine
but no push messages are getting through
i went like a week thinking i didnt get any email and i just happened to check it via the web and saw dozens of emails that my phone never synced
Check under settings>account & sync make sure the gmail box is tick for all account
ugh dammit now i feel dumb. i could have SWORN when i set up my accounts i checked gmail sync in there, but i guess i missed it haha
thanks
