email notification not working reliably

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...

no notifications

I have a very annoying problem with my Nexus 4. I dont get notifications for Apps like Facebook, Facebook messenger or Kik Messenger (WhatsApp only works when screen is turned on, but thats not so bad because I always use my N4 ).
I used Greenify before uninstalled it today but I still dont get any notifications for facebook messenger Anybody know how to fix?
Thanks
robin

That is a known problem on some n4.. You have wi fi fix on this forum, but not 2g/3g.

Same here! heck, I can't even receive Viber calls while the screen is off on wifi.. gmail notifications would come late always at no specific time.
Tried Advanced Wifi Lock, works for the first ~15 mins then stops.....

Latest versions of CM kind of fixes, but the problem still persist; it's being said this is going to be fixed on the next OS update.

Trash Facebook & Messenger or not?

I know that Facebook for Android isn't the best app from Google play, but I have a very active Facebook page and I need to recieve notifications all the time. The problem is, Facebook and messenger take up 0.5gb of ram just for being idle and I really don't like that.
I have tried using metal for Facebook and Twitter but it seems like I can't recieve any notifications - I have the auto refresh set to 5 mins but nothing happens.
Do you think Facebook and messenger on s7 is a problem like on other Android phones and I need to find an alternative or I should just keep them there if I need them?

I've had many issues with facebook app and finally after draining my battery 60% over night I uninstalled it.
mybe you have battery saver options set to disable facebook.
I configured my fb account to send me mails if there are some messages or events.

Facebook and messenger eat a lot of resources in some users, including me. So, you can use MaterialF-book. little app with little ram usage

Possible App Sleep Issue

I noticed this on my S7 Edge after it was updated to Nougat and it persists on the S8.
I've noted that apps like Facebook Messenger and Nine (Email) sleep much differently than before. Facebook Messenger will often appear "disconnected" as when I open the app, it has to "reconnect". My email app, Nine, is also not pushing as often when the app isn't open either causing a bit of delay in receiving emails.
Has anyone else noticed their apps not sleeping the same and losing connectivity since Nougat / S8.

I have noticed this too, also happened on my Pixel.

So possibly a Nougat issue then?

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep, I almost gave up on this phone until I found that you should disable optimization for import push apps. Ever since I did this, no more delays.

Just did this for Nine and Facebook Messenger. Will let you know how I make out. Thanks so much!!

So far, Facebook Messenger has not disconnected when the phone is sleeping. Will be able to confirm Nine back to normal tomorrow once I get a bunch of emails.

Looks like I'm resolved now!

Awesome! That what this community is about.

Doesn't sync gmail from app gmail

Hello. Please, when i double click in gmail notification in aod, i read email but if i reopen app, the email is yet unreaded. When i delete a email from gmail app, random sync with gmail web page... Is this a known bug??? I repaet, random, not always and i din't understand why... Can anyome help me? Thanks

Nobody uses Gmail???

This is not a problem with the S8 but with Android Nougat. Its also not only Gmail related its all notifications on nougat are broken The best way to get SOME notifications back is to go to settings/apps/hamburger menu/special access/optimize battery usage/ and uncheck EVERYTHING. Next step is to (with root) use the app "Root- Push Notification Fixer" and set intervals to lowest possible settings. You will still not get all of them but at least you will get some of them..
Another fix is to install nova launcher and teslaunread to show bubbles on your icons when you have new notifications for that app. I have mine setup for about 7 apps and I ALWAYS get the bubble hours or days before a notification ever comes in (if they ever do).

In order to fix the issue specifically with gmail I use a different email app. I use aquamail, but there are a few good ones out there. I don't have notification or synching issues. I don't use the email on the phone a lot, a few times a day. I found a great improvement over using gmail.
