My Wife's phone has a blue notification light on since shortly after getting it yesterday even before any apps were installed. I've tried everything to get it to turn off with no luck. I've installed a app from the market to control the notification light and even then it shows blue until another notification happens then it blinks back and forth between the color I set and the blue. Any help would be appreciated.

hmmm... you sure she has no pending notifications? have you tried a factory reset
I think that in stock roms, pending sms notifications are notified with a blue blinking led.
no pending notifications. It's been on since shorting after signing into her Gmail account when I first set it up before anything else was set up. there are no new emails on Gmail no calender events or anything else. Tried a factory reset after updating to 4.2.2 since it came with 4.2.1 and it came right back on during the initial setup of the phone.

try going into settings-accounts and stop everything from syncing. start adding back one at a time with a few minutes in between each. i'd be willing to bet it's an app thats syncing in the background. i had a similar problem when my gf inherited my gnex. if i remember correctly i think it was facebook or some social meadia app. and it was only after i plugged in her account into the phone. i dont use facebook or twitter or g+ that would also be another thing you could try since you have 2 phones. scince yours is not doing it do a factort reset and have her put her info into your phone. if it happens then, then you know its her account

I've looked around the forum a bit, haven't seen this mentioned. Sometimes when I look at my notification bar, the little sync symbol is ON and it stays there for hours until I manually kill it in settings. The only things I have set to sync is Google and Weather app set to hourly. Anyone else having this issue? I am rooted, but still running stock. No ROMs loaded YET!
I've noticed it on mine also. I'm pretty sure its not syncing anymore as there is no data going through on the 3G icon. I also noticed it takes longer to clear out Gmail notifications.

i have the same problem, it started a few days to a week ago, and i'm not rooted. i just kill the sync manually.
I also had this issue and this may not actually be the case for everyone, but my T-Mobile sync thing was running (even though I had it unchecked). No idea how to permanently kill it :-/
I also found it was the "T-Mobile" sync. I unchecked it, but it does appear to sync anyways once a day. I just check it and uncheck it again and it works the rest of the day. I discovered that it's syncing to my "MyLife" profile on tmobile.com. It does give you the option to remove the account, but I haven't done it yet.

It is the T-mobile sync that is messing up. Unfortunatly you cant remove it if you are running a stock MTS. Matter of fact....not sure you can remove it with a rooted MTS but I would imagine you can. Since I rooted it hasnt been trying to sync as often but I have it unchecked (not to sync) and it still tries to. Welcome to T-mobile bloatware!!!

You actually can remove it after flashing a new ROM, but you have to do so before booting up for the first time (or it will cause FC issues in your 'Accounts and Sync' settings).
Mount the system, then:
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm NabService.apk
rm NabService.odex
This eliminates T-Mobile sync from the list, but I'm not entirely sure it gets rid of the problem (perhaps its set to sync anyway elsewhere?). I've had it removed for a while now and haven't seen any adverse effects, so I suppose I'll leave it out.
When I remove NabService I get an error everytime I try to open Accounts & Sync...

You have to do it before booting your phone the first time after flashing a new ROM. I'll go back and bold that in my previous post.

Gotcha...Thanks...
same problem here, hope to fix it soon
Hi there.
I have an X10a from Rogers, 2.1(official upgrade), rooted and ever since running the 2.1 update my email notification has been inconsistant at best. With the stock email program it worked sporadically. Sometimes it doesn't even sync... I open the app, load new messages and they appear. Sometimes it makes a sound and puts the indicator in the status bar but no flashing led and sometimes everything works.
I tried K9 and that seemed to work but no led, so I loaded Maildroid and everything was fine for a while but now even that is sporadic.
I currently have my stock email notifications disabled, gmail sync enabled, maildroid sync enabled, wake up ever 15 mins in sleep to check email and still it only works sometimes.
I would prefer just using the stock email client as it seemed nicer on battery useage. Is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it easily? I almost tried it with Titanium backup but the warning that i might need to reflash scared me off doing it.
Any thoughts?
Same thing i noticed with mine , Email is really bad after the update , can know for sure when i get a new Email
using the gmail app and no problems at all
i have 3 other email accounts all forwarded to my gmail
This is two forums and no one has been able to suggest anything to fix it. I think i'll just go back to the stock email client and live with it... checking manually whenever I remember.
This would be my one major complaint about the 2.1 upgrade...aside from it I'm pleased with the rest.
I use shangmail.it works great.

I can try it. Does it light up the LED with the notification?
Re: my issue, i've noticed that it definitely seems that it's the syncing that's not happening moreso than the notification. I can send an email and until I open my client and load more messages, it won't appear where in the past it would pull down the email, notify me and then when I checked it was already there.
Okay...so I reflashed 2.1 on the phone last night. Immediately after the flash everthing was working fine. Then I rooted, installed Titanium backup and started to restore my apps and data... one at a time instead of the batch. At some point it stopped working again even though I didn't install 100% of the things I had on before.
Then briefly I uninstalled Super Security Standard and it started working again...but that didn't last.
I suppose it must be something i've installed, but it's really frustrating that the behavior isn't consistant. Aside from reflashing and then testing after restoring each app, I don't know what I can do.
It's definitely a syncing issue, not a notification issue. Installed a couple of free gmail notifiers and they don't work because the emails aren't sync'd until i go into the email client and manually load new mail.
What could be blocking the gmail sync?
Okay..some more searching has revealed a workaround. I cleared the cache for Gmail app and Gmail storage, rebooted and added the power control widget and cycled the sync button.
Now I can get email notifications when I cycle the sync...but only then. In the thread I found doing this once seemed to 'unstick' the sync, but that's not happening with me.
What sorts of things can 'hang' the sync? I'm still guessing some apps i've installed...
Just today I started receiving facebook notifications on the top notification bar but I have never signed into facebook from the phone. I also checked the website and all of my notifications are turned off. I only get them when someone sends me a message and when I drag the bar down and click on it nothing happens. It is becoming really annoying so I would greatly appreciate any help.
If its popping under notifications then it would be because of a facebook app that u must of signed into at one point in time and to shut off notifications go into the face book app when the app loads push back sp yr at the screen of fifteenth options then just click the button next to the home button to bring up setting witch u can fix in there or just easily sign out

I have never signed into the Facebook app on the phone. In fact, I just did a factory reset after I had to SBF back to froyo to install the pre-rooted gingerbread. I even tried deleting the facebook app and still got the notifications. It shows up like an email notification, but with the email when you click on it it opens the email. With this notification, if you click on it, it just goes away but nothing else happens.
Then I have no clue of how to help u but if u don't have anything installed on ur phone yet u could all ways try to do another factory reset
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
I never said I didn't have anything on my phone; I did a factory reset a week ago and since then I have installed alot of the apps/games I had prior. Facebook was one of the apps I installed, but I never signed in. Never before today have I received these notifications. I didn't think it was the facebook app since I never signed in, but I deleted it anyway and still got the notification. This would lead me to believe it is not linked to the actual facebook app itself. Within the past day, I have done anything that would lead me to believe it was behind these notifications.
Did you add a Facebook account through Blur? That is another possibility as the built in account system sends you notifications for some things, including messages.

Yes, but the reason I didn't think it was that is because the notifications just began yesterday and I have received messages prior to that with no notification. Do you know where I can get to the settings for that? When I go into "My Accounts" and click on Facebook it only gives me the option of removing account.
Hi all,
Has anyone else noticed a significant delay with push notifications (namely with gmail)?
I've got my old iPhone and the Nexus 6P side by side, and at best the push notifications come in 10 seconds later than the iPhone (sometimes it can take up to 10 minutes). I've tried the push notification fix as suggested for other phones, but got no love there.
Any suggestions?

I just realized gmail only does push.
I just tested it on my Nexus 6p and it pushed a few seconds after the email was sent. At first however I had to manually refresh for the first test email, then the second test email pushed to the device.
I tested by sending a email from a icloud account on my macbook and sending to my gmail account on my phone.

It's almost as though there's some power saving feature going on once you lock the screen (this is where the delay happens, when locked).

Same here, seems strange that it's taking so long then...
Also, when deleting an email from the notification, it just keeps popping back up (i.e. not deleting). There's obviously some strange sync issue going on with gmail and exchange
I've had the same problem and haven't found a solution either. Glad to see that I'm not the only one! I posted on Reddit, but it didn't get much play. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3seyj6/delayed_gmail_syncnotifications/
To try and fix the issue, I've (in no particular order):
Removed my Google account and readded
Gone through Gmail settings to make sure that notifications are on, sync is active, managed labels
Gone through the Google account to make sure that Gmail sync is on
Restarted
Uninstalled updates to Gmail from the Play Store
Reinstalled updates to Gmail from the Play Store
Force Stopped Gmail
Cleared data from Gmail
Cleared cache from Gmail
Removed it from optimized apps
Changed my password on computer, then waited for phone to ask to reinput
I'm on a 64 GB Aluminum, unlocked, MDB08M. I do not have my SIM card yet (only Wi-Fi). Perhaps that's the issue?
I'm getting to the point where I'm going to factory reset, but I was really hoping I wouldn't have to, and I'm not optimistic it would help.

Yeah I've done the factory reset already and can confirm it does nothing. I'm beginning to think its the Gmail app, as the rest of my push notifications are faster or the same speed as iOS. Really crap by the Gmail devs if that is the case.
Any decent replacement email apps out there? The Samsung email app was quicker, but not sure if we can get that without rooting and flashing an apk (and even then not sure if it requires touchwiz to function).
With my 6P Hotspoting to tablet and pc email arrives on 6P a minute or 2 after them.
I don't know if this is the same or not. I have this issue with both the Yahoo mail app and the Outlook app. My gmail notifications seem to be showing up reliably, but I never get any Outlook notifications, and Yahoo's are sporadic--one our of every three or four. When I open either app, it then seems to go fetch the incoming emails. On my previous phone, when I open the app, they're already there. I don't believe I have anything set differently in the apps. I would love to figure this out.
So, I did a factory reset and installed nothing but Outlook and Yahoo mail. Then I sent two notes to my Outlook, Yahoo, and Gmail addresses, and all three of each note arrived almost simultaneously. I guess, now, I'll start re-installing essential apps and testing.
Was looking around and saw someone posted on the official Nexus forums; if anyone here is still having the issue, please head over and +1/reply so Google can escalate the fix.

I'm having the same issue and I've also noticed that IMs on Hangouts are ridiculously slow. You would think that Google would make sure that at least their own apps worked smoothly on their flagship device.
I think I may have solved my sync issues. In the WiFi advanced settings, I switched the WiFi frequency band from Auto to 2.4Ghz. Ever since I did that I've received notifications on my Nexus 6P just as quickly as I do on other devices.
Wow, glad I saw this thread. I've been noticing gmail is slow lately. I thought it might have been my ROM/Kernel combo. I use Inbox and it was fine up until lately. Guess it's a bug for Google to fix. I even spent time last night reflashing stock and starting fresh out of box state.
This is happening to me too..happens on gmail and as well as Google opinion rewards. It's been happening for a little over a week now...hopefully will be fixed soon..
Is it happening to everybody or just a select lucky few?

Lots of users having this issue
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...syncing-issues-in-gmail-inbox-and-other-apps/
I see that lot of people are only discussing about Gmail and other mailing or hangout apps.
I on the other hand am seeing overall notification push delay across all the apps including Whatsapp, Gmail, Facebook etc. I am unrooted and no changes made whatsoever to my android marshmallow. It is also on latest OTA build.
I receive all notifications as soon as I unlock the device, but if my device is lying on a table (even when not in doze mode which means lying for less than 30 minutes) I still don't receive any notification. As soon as I unlock and turn on screen it seems like data connectivity resumed and all notifications starts to flow within 5-10 seconds without even opening those apps to refresh.
I also have not modified any other notification setting and I even tried to keep whatsapp to priority mode + no battery optimization, still Whatsapp is having hard time receiving notification if screen is turned off for more than 5 minutes..
If you are experiencing this kind of an issue and have successfully resolved it, kindly help me.
I've lost email notifications but I have read that Google know about the problem,
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app
I got a Gmail app update this morning and after the update my Gmail notifications started working normally! Finally, since around November my notifications stopped working properly. (even though last week Google claimed a fix was in that didn't require an app update or software update)
But I noticed something strange, if you do not open the notification from the pull down menu immediately, the time of the notification will change to the current time.
This morning I had two notifications (same email but one with Gmail and one with Cloud Magic) and they both had the same time. I didn't actually click on the notification right away so when I went back to the phone it showed my Gmail notification time ten minutes after the Cloud Magic one. Thought it was odd because they came in at the same time. Noticed it happening all day with my notifications, gmail time of notification would change but the other email app notification showed the time it came in.
