I just realized that my apps under apps manager are not syncing automatically. So my emails from chrome were received hours late. How do I turn auto sync on?

Google Voice not Auto-Syncing

This problem just started yesterday. Google Voice is not syncing unless I manually refresh it. This leads to a lot of missed texts.
All data sync options are on, battery is set to performance mode, auto sync is enabled, sync only over wi-fi is off. I don't know what to do.
Can anyone help?
Also Gmail sync is not working.

I had this problem temporarily about a week ago. I had the sync button in extended controls and turned off syncing. I deleted.the widget and stated over and didn't have gmail out google voice because the sync was off in the settings. Not sure in your case though

I've got auto sync enabled in Power Control as well as SwitchPro. Also in Quick Settings and Settings. No dice.

Really sorry to hear this, as I use Google Voice for my texts. I wish I could give you some advice, but I can't. Reinstalling, wiping the cache, or a factory reset are the only things that come to mind.
Okay, I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it syncs but doesn't notify me until I open the app.

I had the same issue.You can set google to text you when you have a new voicemail. It'll send the message via the google voice app and show up in your notifications.

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.

I have noticed that I get no lights at all when booting up or shuting down or ever. Is that normal?

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.

Chrome automatic sync not working

I went to application manager and I have to manually sync my account to get updates. I haven't received emails on time. Can anybody help?
I went to the actual Gmail app and it said automatic sync is turned off somewhere

Auto sync question.

Does turning off syncing under your Google account stop syncing from occurring completely? Or will it still sync when I run the application itself etc. Would like to turn auto syncing off yet still be able to sync.

You'll still be able to sync. Just turn auto sync off and for example, open the Gmail app. There's a refresh button at the top if you want to sync.

You'll also have to keep in mind that most email accts added to the native email app will be able to sync when you choose to, but an Exchange server acct might not be happy.

Twitter app disallowing enabling of notifications

Something weird is going on with my twitter app. I reinstalled it and logged back in and then went to settings to configure notifications and it won't even let me turn them on. What's going on? Any ideas?
Btw Sync is on.

I've had this happen to me to fix it sign out of the app go to Twitter on a PC or change the phone browser to desktop mode. In the settings revoke permission for the app then sign in on the app and it will work.
