Doesn't sync gmail from app gmail - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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.

Questions about New Email Notifications

Is there any reg hack, cab, tweak, etc that would allow me to better control new email notifications without installing a third party app? I already tried something called Mail Notify (or something like that) but thought it was overkill for what I was trying to do.
Here is why I ask.
I have my work email through push mail and my personal gmail account set up on my phone. I only want to be notified when I have mail in my gmail account and not my work email. I literally get hundreds of msgs and automated reports emailed to my work account day and night and as a result, the new mail icon is constantly appearing on the top bar. I acknolwedge the new msgs and within a minute or two the icon is back. This is very annoying, since I can't tell when I get a personal email to my gmail account by just looking at the top bar.
If there isn't a way to do what I'm looking for above, is there a way atleast to turn off that new mail icon permanently. I already went to the Notification settings and turned off everything under "Messaging: New e-mail message".
Thanks for looking.
BTW, I have a T-Mobile HD2 runing NRG's GTX themed ROM incase that matters.
Try this app, haven't used it but it might work for you:

Thanks for responding. I'm looking for a reg edit or hack moreso than for a 3rd party app. Problem with 3rd party apps is that the need to be configured and constantly running in the background to work.

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...

Lost auto-sync for gmail- pls help

My wife's Pro has lost auto-sync with Gmail. It used to do it, and has stopped. The sync setting screen for the Pro is much different than my evo- not sure if I am not finding the right screen or if it doesn't exist.
This happened "around" the time I rooted it with z4r, but not sure if it was caused by the root.
Anyone have this problem or know where I can find sync "settings"?
I have the same problem, its quite annoying having to manually sync both accounts juts to check mail. Im about to give up on the gmail app and just go through the regular email app.
Edit; im giving k-9 mail client a shot. I added my 2 gmail accounts and froze the regular gmail app for the time being.
I do not know which apps require the gmail app but im sure I will find out soon enough.
At least now I have a client that syncs my mail.
I know I can use the regular mail app for gmail but I wanted to try out k-9. Perfect excuse to do so
What's so damn annoying is that it used to do it perfect and now won't...

Are you using ADW notifier to display notification counters ? I am using Widget Locker together with ADW Notifier and the only counters i can see on the sliders are the ones for sms. Can't get it to show counters for calls and gmail. If anyone encountered this problem and found a fix or can tell me the exact setting they used i'd appreciate it. @ rastamit I also registered for samsung social hub, and both the samsung e-mail and social hub icons display the counters for gmail, but the gmail icon doesn't. Maybe that's your problem.
hi. i dont have ADW notifier. but i fixed the problem by d.l. "gmail notifier" app. i deleted my gmail app and replaced it with the gmail notifier app. tnx u all/
another solution is the "NoLed" app, works like a charm

[Q] Galaxy s4 i9505 gmail not pushing even thought sync is on

Anyone else running into this issue? I've got all auto syncing enabled, yet gmail will not push mails to me. I have to manually open gmail and refresh in order to get new mails. I've tried disabling sync and reenabling. I'm using the gmail app. Nothing special here... haven't even rooted or flashed another rom yet.. maybe that's my problem...
Thanks for any help.
i am having the same issue..when i enable sync , i get mail notifications for some time..then after few hours , i have to open gmail and refresh it to see new mails.

Yeah, I should have mentioned the same. There are times it works right after reenabling and running a 'test' mail.. it's just the important mails that don't come through
Same issue for me. All of a sudden my Gmail app won't push my mail. All sync on
I am also seeing the same.
Not sure if it's co-incidence but this happened after I flashed XXUBMEA and then, to demonstrate, enabled and all the Sammy stuff, including the Samsung Push thing - not a great demonstration (except the facebook apps join, which just kind of white screen sat there).
Incidently, freezing the Sammy bloat stuff removed the absurd lag (which was improved with the XXUBMEA flash).
Next step - remove Gmail from system and re-install.
Edit: Removing Gmail and then re-installing from Google Play worked. Notifications now coming through.
Now to wait for Apex update which will allow the unread count to return to the dock.
