SGT will not sync gmail

Title says it all. I have tried everything I have found in this forum with no luck. Basic problem is I have to click refresh in gmail to recieve my email. I am not rooted and my htc evo and desktop all work flawlessly and notify me about new emails. Any ideas would be helpful.

Go to settings / accounts and sync / and verify you dont have any red icons on the gmail account. If you do there are normally error why. You can also ensure you have mail checked to synchronize as well as contacts.
That is the first step that comes to mind. If you have not already, delete amd readd the acct. You will want to play close attention when setting back up the settings on each setup page. You may have set sync frequency to manual or something.

I have deleted the account and deleted the data from the gmail app under manage applications. I have checked and unchecked the sync setting many times. Each time I re check the gmail sync it syncs fine and if I have a new email it will notify me but after that if I get an email I get no notification on my SGT unless I click refresh in the app or uncheck then re check sync.

What are your notification settings in the gmail account application?

Notify in system bar when email arrives

Do you have any other Android devices? If so, do they sync correctly?
Do you have any type of authentication set in gmail?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Are you using the gmail app and not the email app?
Do Google Talk notifications work correctly?
Sorry if some of these questions sound dumb, but better to cover all bases before moving on.

Awe good point.... I think he is using the email app vs the gmail app. I dont think the notification option mentioned is available in the gmail app.

Trust me they are not dumb questions I did tech support for a few years... It is just sad when you have to ask "Is the computer plugged into the wall socket?" Anyway yes I have an HTC EVO the gets the IMAP push just fine as does my desktop running Chrome. I have just a regular single password set up for gmail. I have not done a factory reset yet. I am using the gmail app. I dont use google talk but google voice notification work. The voice notifications are not IMAP but set on a timer ever 15 minutes however.

I had this same problem and tried everything toto make it work. I never got it fixed, so I did a factory reset and it works fine now.

Thats what I am thinking of trying. Wish it could be simpler though. :\

I think i had this once.... But a delete and readd fixed it. Do you have your gmail setup to backup your apps and bookmarks to chrome? You can also use mybackup pro to backup other on device media and OS settings. =)

Just tried a factory reset and the problem remains. Could my router be blocking the push. Chrome gets the push fine on the same router I use the extension "Google Mail Checker" I am out of Ideas.

Try restarting your router just in case.
I don't know if this applies to your issue? http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=3a06c995ce0f82ae&hl=en

Yep that is the same problem I am having. That page was my first try for a fix before posting. I went through all of those steps and it didnt resolve the issue thats when I posted here. I am begining to think I am just out of luck.

Completely disabled firewall on my router and boom it works. WOOT! Do you know what port # IMAP could be using different than what chrome is using.

Re enabled firewall still working. Beats me. :-|

Very odd. Would think a router would come out of the box ready to support email protocols.

Gmail and LauncherPro

Ive used the Gmail application since Ive had my phone and Ive been using LauncherPro for about 2 months now as my default launcher. LP has always showed the email count in the launcher until this recent Gmail update. Now it doesnt even with the option checked too.
Anyone have any idea? Ive tried reinstalling LP with no luck.

It may have something to do with the Gmail update, since it adds Priority Inbox support, and the notifications are set up different. Try going to the Gmail settings - your email account - Labels to notify - make sure your Inbox and Priority Inbox are set to notify. If they are, maybe the LP developer needs to update to accommodate the new Gmail changes?

The newest gmail update has blocked access for all third party apps to access it. Multiple apps like launcher pro and missed it do not work now.

I assume the devs know about it then. I guess revert to the old one until an update comes around.

To add onto what everyone previous has said, the dev. of launcher pro made a blog post on his site (launcherpro.com) about this latest gmail update.

I didn't know that. Does the developer have plans to update?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

Dev was supposed to rewrite the entire program. That was awhile ago and no dice. Not sure if there is a work around the gmail issue anyways.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

it's not just lp,it's any home launcher that uses the notification

You can try rolling back to a previous version, but unfortunately we're at the mercy of Google right now.

it works fine for me, and i've been using launcher pro for a while now. no i don't have the e-mail count but the notifacation pull down is just good looking in gingersense.

I'm fairly certain almost everything else in launcher pro is running like normal for everyone with the exception of the gmail integration due to gmail's recent update.

Calendar sync

I have my KF rooted and the aneroid market installed and running, and Google apps installed. Is there a way to get my Google calendar to sync to my kindle?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

Which Google apps do you have installed, do you have your Gmail synced? That should allow you to sync your calendar
Go into your "Account & Sync Settings" and make sure calendar is checked marked

as far as i know you have to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to system/app - set permissions like the others and reboot - then gmail mail & calender sync should work ...

There is an account sync settings app you can get from the market, out it is included in the iffy utility. You also need the calendar sync adapter which you can get from another Android device or the iffy utility.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

there are a lot of settings on the kf we cannot access but there is a app on the market called "any cut" - with this app you can link the hidden settings to a shortcut on the desktop - any cut -> new shortcut -> activity -> Account & Sync Settings
there are a lot of others like keyboard, display, search ...

I tried the any cut app and now I have it all.set up. But I think you are right about the apks. Do you know where I can get them? And better yet..... what do I do with them? All I have done is root my kindle and followed the you tube video in how to get the market on my kindle.

I think the calendar files you're looking for might be in the gapps.zip file from this thread. Just follow the instructions.

Awesome! Thanks. It seems that I am no longer rooted?! Is it possible that while my 3 year old was playing around with my kf she unrooted it? Odd....my android marketplace still works, its just that root checker is saying I am no longer rooted. Will start from scratch in the morning.
Thanks again.

Hmmm, did you have root access after you received the 6.2.2. update?

There's no need to be rooted in order to install the apks I provided. You may have become unrooted because you finally received the newest update, it's possible I don't know if that is why though

I experienced the same after the upgrade.
anyway, i had to enter my complete email address as username in the "domain\user name" field for it to work. might want to check the "Use secure..." and "Accept all..." depending on your exchange server requirements.

I was in the opposite case, on GB i could not configure my exchange/live.fr email, now on LPY I can easily configure it by adding an Exchange account in Settings>Accounts.

Hi, tried that too before posting. I tried everything from checking everything to unchecking everything and even the complete email username or short without the domain but still cannot make it to work.
@ to the other poster, mine was working without hiccups in GB but now it is not. Don't really know why so I hope some of the experts here can help.

Oddly mine worked for my exchange account, logging in and getting mail seemed to be ok, but all my folders are ... gone. I can only see the default folders, but nothing on the server beyond "Inbox".

Try to add in pin for your Note before trying to create the account. Btw, I'm having issues too. At first without pin, and couldn't create as it keeps complaining about password and ID or something. After pin was added, now it's showing waiting to sync. This is happening on my HP Touchpad aokp_tenderloin build 37. On my note, I have been using Liquidsmooth V1 and also had problems previously. I downloaded some email apks that were nodded but solved my problem since.. Now I'm trying to do it on my build 37.
Don't jump to conclusion that I am in the wrong thread. Just trying to share information.
Edit:
The email apks I mentioned above also have the same problem. Real strange! :'(

Did anyone else experienced disappearing task bar caused by Gmail App notifications? As soon as I get new email and get a notification, my bar disappears. I hope I'm not the only one.

SKORPiO1975,
Yes, this is a known issue. What happens is the Gmail App sends a notification to the upper Status
Bar and since the Kindle Framework is different than the stock ICS Framework it causes the bar
to disappear as it attempts to post a new message icon into the Kindle Framework. The solution
is simple:
1. Upgrade to Gmail 4.1.2 by installing the attached Gmail apk
2. Open the Gmail Settings, choose Message Actions
3. Change to Do Not Show
4. This solves the problem.

thank you prokennexusa the gmail app you linked above. I downloaded the one from the play store earlier and it kept crashing. I haven't encountered any problem w/ your version yet. Also, do you have an ICS version of the contacts and calender that i can use w/ gmail? because I don't want to use the stock email program I deleted my accounts on it, and now the contacts is all empty. something got screwed up here.
I can't wait for the day when I can replace all this amazon crap w/ a clean CM rom.
thank you!
