Email app not auto-retrieving? - Vibrant General

Is anyone else having this problem? The vibrant "email" app doesnt seem to be retreiving my emails. I set it up just like my nexus one using IMAP. but for some reason nothing is coming through unless i manually refresh...
any ideas?

I had to set mine to 15 mins. I had it set at 5 mins before. Some servers specially google don't like you connecting every 5 mins.

I have mine set hourly and its still not working. Also, usually IMAP is pushed and instant, so setting intervals doesnt matter. Or maybe this app doesnt recognize that like the stock android one?
Boy i hope a vanilla android ROM comes out for this thing!

How to turn off push for gmail accounts

I would like to change to for example 'every 15mins'. The 3 accounts all being pushed is taking its toll on my battery.

Ehhh... the whole idea of "push" is that new emails are pushed from the server. As opposed to your phone "pulling" them from said server. So no, you cannot. Even switching off sync will not impact your receiving emails on gmail.
However, there are apps out there (search for it) that will enable your data connection and/or sync function periodically. This one you can set for 15 mins, 1 hour, or whatever the app offers and you want.

I'm pretty sure if you disable gmail sync you don't get emails anymore through the stock gmail app at least.

Actually, you can switch off push, IF you start using the moto blur corporate email. Lookup the settings for active sync, it uses the microsoft exchange method for email access, and also syncs calendar and contacts. Once setup, open the account through messages, and turn off push. I did this, and my battery life tripled.

Slow push times on samsung email app

I set up my gmail on the stock samsung email app using activesync. I have tested it a couple times sometimes but sometimes it doesn't, I wont get emails until I refresh, I have the settings to push emails during peak and non-peak hours, any idea what the issue may be? didnt have this issue before...thanks

When in mail, hit the "settings" button, the soft-touch button next to the middle one, when the settings menu pop-up, hit "more" and then go to "Account settings", in the "email check frequency", you can set to every 5 minutes.
I don't think that's what he wants. Checking every 5 minutes means the email app asks the server if there are new mails. He wants to use the push method of googlemail. With this method the server should tell the app there is a new mail without asking before. This is the technic blackberry uses.
It's just like SMS. These technic consumes less power and causes lower traffic.

Then probably an activesync issue and not really a Note-related issue? Should probably bring it up with the app developers. I was assuming he meant the stock Email app that came with the Note.
I have found all emails to be very slow on my new Samsung Note. Whether it be Yahoo or Gmail. At the moment my Gmail says "Your Email will appear shortly". Waited for 5 minutes and still no email.
Yahoo and Mac emails on Note are also very slow to load. On my iPhone 4 on the other hand are very very fast and load instantly.
Tried the Samsung email app. Even the minimum 5 minute interval was annoying.
Returned to the gmail app and get mail instantaneously. Not a necessity, but quite convenient.
Go to the Market and get an app called: Microsoft + Seven, this is the official Microsoft Android mail application. This will do everything you want from the Exchange but much better. Exchange push is flawed from the server side.
I have both installed while + Seven fetches instantly the Exchange sometimes fails to do so.

That application has so many bad reviews on it.
Is there any updates on why emails are slow to load on the Samsung Note? On my iPhone 4 and Blackberry Bold 9900 emails download very fast with pretty much no waiting while with this Samsung Note it seems like it takes ages to download Yahoo and MAC emails.
How did you setup your gmail through the stock email client? IMAP or exchange?
As for push mail service, my company exchange emails are pushed out instantly without any issues exception of no new email notifications if the email app is open

I agree with the above. The push notifications are in my experience temperamental. Sometimes I get push for my e-mails, facebook and other times there is a very long delay and sometimes I have to open the application before anything shows up.
I've never used blackberry but push used to work nearly flawlessly with my old iphone 3GS (although the iphone e-mail client has many other drawbacks IMHO). I used to get notifications for e-mails instantly.
It is a real shame because I use e-mails a lot for my working life. I have found TouchDown and Moxier Mail to also have flaws and significant battery drain in comparison to stock so don't wish to spend that kind of money on those applications.

Agree with you.the stock app sucks bad. I have found refuge with Touchdown. The push is still laggy but it does not slow down my note like the stock app.I only wish that the ICS had a better app for Microsoft active sync.

I am having similar problems with my Note and push email. It worked flawlessly on my HTC EVO. Both are running Gingerbread.
Agreed
Push email on all android (not just the Note) seems to be lagging. I wish there was a solution. With my Note, if I click in inbox, then it is forced to check email. Push email works great on blackberry and apple.
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated. Will ICS improve this any?
Not having problems with the PUSH in Microsoft Outlook Activesync email and Gmail here. Even Facebook push notifications work like charm and PUSH comes as the emails and/or notifications arrive. I actually observed this while using my laptop.

[Q] Gmail delayed pushing?

Is anyone else getting delayed pushes from Gmail? The time I receive the email can vary anywhere from instantly, to minutes later.
I've been doing testing by comparing it to K9. K9 consistently gets every single email instantly.
Anyone else experience the same problem?
Yep. I get mines on my tablet before on my Nexus 4

Gmail has always, since 2009, done this to me. Anything that comes directly into my gmail account I get almost instantly but any thing from my forwarded accounts takes up to 30 minutes as gmail doesn't querry the other servers that frequently. I haven't found any way to make gmail querry my other email servers more frequently.
Op, is this just on WiFi? Or does it also happen on mobile network?

You are probably just losing your WiFi connection. Google it. A few of us on here have the problem of losing connection to Google services after a few minute of screen off while on WiFi.

No I'm not losing my wifi connection. My original post states that I am doing the exact same test with K9. K9 gets it instantly, gmail always lags behind.
This happens more frequently on the N4 than any other Android device I've owned. Something is up with the Google Sync on it. On both wifi or HSPA(AT&T), my gmail is delayed, google voice too. Yesterday, I had a message sent to me on purpose to see how long it would take and waited 40 minutes for it arrive...I had to manually refresh Gmail for it to show up. I've gone through all the auto-sync and sync settings in gmail and in settings(data usage and google account). I'm running CM10.1 nightlies on it, so I wonder if it's on that end. To try this, send yourself an email, the first one might push...send another one in about 30 secs to 1 minute after you send the first...it won't show up immediately like the first one did...If the first one showed up immediately at all. Seriously unreliable push...gFail.
I have the same issue with my N4. Is there a fix for this? I have to manually refresh gmail every time. My tablet gets the emails much faster.

Do you happen to be using a custom rom or stock?
I'm tempted to flash back stock to see if it's an issue with CM 10.1 nightlies.
A temporary fix, which I'm using, is to use a different email client. I'm using K9 and it gets the emails instantly. However, I'd rather use Gmail's app since the interface/interactions are much nicer.

Not sure that's a CM 10.1 issue or not. Coz I am using vanilla jelly bean (4.2.1) and updated my gmail app to 4.2.1 as well, having the same issue.
I setup the same Gmail address on stock e-mail app using exchange server settings, email pushed and notified me almost instantly. So I suspect that's a glitch of the gmail app.
So I think I have found a preliminary fix for it. I have read other threads about sycing problems with Gmail, but can't comment on those. I sometimes keep Google Now on when on Wifi, but turn it off when out and about. I think this MIGHT be causing a lack of sync. When I checked to see if my gmail was synced it was not.
I have since kept Google Now off and see that I have no problems with getting my mails in as they come. It is faster than my tablet now.
Hope it helps.

I have tried, still no joy, i even tried to factory reset my Nexus 4, but still having freaking bad delay...
hooking onto the same WiFi, my iPhone and the One X+ both get the push email without delays. Even more worrying is that my One X+ is also using GMail 4.2.1. I starting to worry that is a hardware issue? (coz my frd's Nexus 4 do not have sync delay)

Exchange Service wakelock killing my battery

Hi, I moved from a Galaxy Nexus 2 weeks ago.
I'm running the lastest CM 10.1 Nightly and Franco Kernel.
Like I week ago I noticed a very high wakelock caused by "Exchange Service". I'm using my Hotmail account configured as Exchange with the stock email android App.
I didn't have that wakelock before with my SGN or the first week using my N4.
I don't know what to do, I have tried deleting the account and setting the update interval to 1 hour.
Any ideas?
This is making me crazy

Check this out:
It goes to deep sleep, but there are some wakelocks made by:
Calendar, Exchange and Gtalk (Which is strange as I have it frozen using TIBU).

This is what happens when people have too much information at their finger tips.
I see 3mins and 6 mins of wakelocks there in 10hrs? How is that "killing" your battery?

Sorry but I still think there is something wrong.
494 wakelock ? With push email off? It was supposed to check the email each 2 hours. No contact and calendar sync.. OK all the wakelocks were "only" 12 minutes... I had it configured in the same way with my gnex and never had this problem.
Thanks.

Remember push it's not active ! And gmail (sync is on) and whatsapp are running all the time and they don't generate almost any wakelocks...

Sorry guys but I think there must be something wrong here.
It's only syncing one account and the refresh rate is set to 1h!!! I get barely 10 emails daily and don't reply them.
It looks like there is a mistake in the configuration of exchange and it ends in a loop.
Plus I don't even use the calendar, I have like 10 entries in all the year!! It doesn't make sense.
I use whatsapp 10 times more than email and calendar combined and I don't see it generating so mane wake locks.

It's not just you
It's not just you. Something is definitely wrong.
I have had this problem since ICS 4.0 on my Nexus S.
I've tried stock and am now running CM 10.1. This morning my stock battery stats show 3h 17m on battery and Exchange Services with 1h 5m of "Keep awake". Battery is down to 58%. That makes the battery life about 6 hours. Yesterday, I got 14.
This problem goes away every time I flash a ROM update, but will always recur after a few weeks. If I disable sync, everything is fine. It doesn't seem to matter whether the Exchange Sync setting are set to Email, Calender, or Contacts. It also doesn't seem to matter how often sync is set for: push, 30 min, 1 hour, or 3 hours -- the problem still persists unless sync is off in the OS.
I would love suggestions on what to do.

What a bummer. Thanks for letting me know. Back to BlueMail for me.
The custom Power Manager in MiFavor 4.0 is broken. Regardless of your settings, background apps are killed soon after the screen turns off. Your e-mail app gets killed and even the process that blinks the notification LED gets killed. Rebooting fixes it momentarily.
