[Q] Push Gmail - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Strange problem. Don't seem to get Gmail push and/or notifications to work when I receive e-mail. The checker is clearly checked in the gmail settings (though the sound is not). But no notifications are visible in the notification bar when I receive new e-mail.
Anyone with the same problem?

Gmail Notification Issue?

Hi all, copy and paste from Amon_RA's thread which I've posted in also. I'm running Amon_RA's 1.6.1 ROM and am wondering if the following happens to you as well? If it does, what ROM are you running? Is it donut-based? Thank you.
Some bugs/features in 1.6.1? I'm not too sure if it's intended to function this way in Donut, hence the bug/feature portion. I'm experiencing the following problem on 1.6.1, with email notification and vibration turned on:
Assuming I do not have any email notifications currently, and I have zero unread mail in my email. When I receive a new email (be it for one or two email at a time), my phone will vibrate and have the notification, as expected.
However, this is where things get different. If I were to ignore the notification (let it remain there) or clear the notification WITHOUT tapping on it and going into Gmail, any subsequent emails I receive will only result in having the LED blinking, and the number of unread count in the notifications bar will increase. The phone does not vibrate, neither does it ring.
If I were to tap on the notification and enter Gmail, then my phone will vibrate and notify me again. This happens regardless of whether I read the unread emails in Gmail, or let them remain unread.

Anyone?
Yup, I concur.
I just tested this. Received an email, cleared the notification. Then sent another email to myself from browser. My phone didn't vibrate and notify me, except with the green LED.
Cleared the notification by opening Gmail.
Then i re-sent the same email, notification & vibration is back again.
Wondered what's wrong, i've got a feeling that the flag is set wrongly too.
Ive posted this to Google already but have yet to receive a reply..

[Q] Notifications for certain gmail labels

Is there a way to receive gmail notifications for only emails with certain labels?
Normally, I have email notifications off on my phone, so I don't get disturbed constantly. However, sometimes I'm expecting an important email from someone. I would like to receive notifications on my phone when I receive these emails.

This app is well worth the 88 cents. You can setup not only notifications per label but also notification widgets per label on the home screens.

[Q] Notifications show up for E-mail even though they are turned off

Anyone else experiencing this? I have work Exchange account set-up through the stock E-Mail app. I have the notification box not checked at all in both my account settings as well as the priority sender options.
Yet every time I get an e-mail, I get a notification, the LED light, and a beep.
Any ideas?

Gmail notification sound in 4.3

I like to set my email notifications to silent. I upgraded to 4.3 today and now I'm getting a notification sound when I receive an email. I've looked in the sound menu in the phones settings and the gmail menu. Where's it at?

Nevermind, found it. Had to click on the email address in gmail settings to edit the individual email account settings.

[Q] Notification not updating

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy S5 for just over a week and I noticed that the notifications (email, hangouts) do not update if I read the messages from another device. If, for example, I have a new email and read that email on my computer (or tablet), the notification on the phone will still be there until I read that email on the phone. If i just swipe the notification to make it dissapear, when a new email comes in, it will tell me I have two unread messages eventhough the previous messages have been read (on another device).
Before the S5, I had a Nexus 4. Whenever I read a message on my computer, the notification on the phone would dissapear and messages would be marked as read almost immediately.
I find it really annoying to have the notifications and specially the LED light blinking for messages I already read.
Can anyone please tell me how to have S5 work the same way? All my settings are set to "push".
Thanks!
Check if you have enabled auto sync.
Can you tell me where auto sync is? I only found "activesync" under the exchange settings and it's enabled. I didn't find anything like that for my google account settings.
Thanks

So nobody else has this problem?
