Are you running any sort of battery saving app?

Go into accounts and sync and see if background data and auto sync is enabled

No battery app and yes background data is enabled. I take it that you guys get a notification right away and with the screen off? If so I will just try and reflash the rom

I have the same issue and i run google voice. No battery savers and background is enabled.

I just my kindle fire and wanted to know how to get SMS on mines as well. I followed the instructions but have no luck.
Also, would I be able to SMS anyone? I know on iMessage with Apple, you can only SMS iphones, ipods, ipads and macs.

gmail not marking emails as read?

ok so this started this past week. I get an email and I read and delete it on my phone. later on, I go back in the gmail app and in the top left corner by "inbox" it says I have a new email, however I don't actually have a new email...when I check the gmail mobile site it shows the same email I read and deleted earlier, as unread and not deleted...
does anyone else experience this/know what I can do to fix it?

uninstall the app and reinstall it from the market.
well I can't uninstall it fully (at least not from the market) but I uninstalled updates and then updated so I'll see how that goes

Make sure your syncing is on. I had this problem, turned on background syncing and it was fixed. Hope that helps.
that was the first thing I checked haha. I have background data and auto sync both enabled though.

Happens to me all the time. I use gmail unread widget to view only unread mail to find the offending message

ADB / Root Explorer and delete Gmail.apk in /system/app/
I know that (sorry not trying to sound like an arrogant ass) so far uninstalling updates has worked though.

Remote control my phone from my fire

Topic says it all, I want to remote control my captivate from my fire, is there an app for that?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
One way is to use VNC. Setup a client on the phone you want to control from and the server on the Fire.
Can you recommend a server app? All I see so far are client apps. Thanks

Data disconnects when screen off.

Anyone else seeing this. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or not when the screen goes off the data disconnects and background data is no longer functioning. Is this a problem with the phone or a feature. I only ask because it disconnects Google talk and when I pick up the phone I get all my notifications from gmail, Facebook, etc.

My HTC does this as a feature. In wireless, you can hit settings and it brings up an advanced settings tab where you can set sleep. But It's on sense 2.1 so it may not have anything to do with your problem.

And as soon as it connected you got all your notifications?
This shows that background data is not working properly....

Settings -> WiFi -> menu -> Advanced
Make sure "Wi-Fi optimization" is checked and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always".

Both of those are as you said. I'm going to try turning off optimization and see if that fixes it
Update: still has the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

It appears this is a WiFi only issue as it doesn't happen on hspa at all for me

Maps keeping WiFi on

Hello everyone
I have a little problem with the battery life on my nexus7. Maps is keeping my wifi on which will drain the battery and results in a bad standby battery life.
I attached some screenshots that show up how many hours maps is keeping my wifi on.
Is there any solution to fix this problem or to restrict maps from keeping the wifi on?
Tried smart wifi toggler, but the app didn't turn on the wifi after disabling it.
Thanks for your help

No, cause sometimes i need it.
Now i just turn of wifi before i turn of the display.
What is your Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep Advanced Setting?
I had the same problem. Just go to settings/location and disable WiFi. If you want you can disable maps app if you don't use it. Settings/applications/maps and force close and disable.

[Q] XDA Tapatalk app

Does anyone else have trouble when tapping XDA's notifications that pop up...
When I tap on them it opens the XDA app, but it never actually loads the thread or message...
it just stays on the loading circle.
N7 PA with M-kernal
Same problem here with all stock builds (rooted) and now AOKP. Rarely with 4.2.1 it would work. It worked once in a while if I opened the app first then checked the notification but not often enough. I don't get notifications on my HTC One S, so I can't confirm how it reacts on other devices.

Heh that sucks. I hope it gets fixed...

I notice this on my stock nexus 7 non rooted. Don't have the problem on my kindle fire running the otter builds. I did notice that if I logged out and then back in that it would work.
