Gmail app not pushing

Got my new verizon s7 sat. I can't get Gmail to push new emails, it only works if I open the app and manually refresh. I have tried wiping cache and data for the app, ensured that the sync Gmail in settings >accounts is on.... which it seems to get hung up there occasionally, I see the circle but it isn't spinning. I have turned on all the settings in the app too
**edit 4/22/16. It is working now

As far as I have seen, this problem has been around since January sometime. No it has not been fixed though according to this article they know what the issue is. I don't know what they are waiting for to fix this. I have heard Inbox is working better. You can look into that if its urgent enough.

This article was posted in febuary and states that some people at google said this:
"Thanks again for your patience on this while the team investigated the issue. I’m happy to announce that a fix has started to roll out. This fix requires no action, and will roll out globally over the next week."
It's been well over a week now.. still no fix?

Yeah, I don't know what they are dragging their feet with. According to this google forum I found it is still an on going problem.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/Ayd_1TOemSE/AUvVhyX4AAAJ
One of the suggestions in there is to use CloudMagic. It seems to be helping with instant notifications for those of us that need to have emails notify of us instantly.
Hope this is helpful.

Weird, it works fine on my old rooted s5... New stock s7... Nope, the Samsung app works but I like the gmail one better

I think it is a Marshmallow bug...

Well it appears to be working again, I cracked my screen already on my phone, so I got a new one through insurance. Fired it up last night and the Gmail app is pushing as normal not sure if it was an update , I had the app set to stop syncing before maybe it worked with the old phone after an update , regardless it is working now

Can you try to downgrade after you update and see if it'll downgrade? Thanks. Its ok if you're not interested in all that hassle.

Nothing visible has changed, no new apps. No new settings. June 1st security patch which may be different. I'll maybe try to downgrade tomorrow.

I already checked it. Downgrade safe.

I haven't found a tutorial on downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1. Is there a safe way to do it?

Not sure what you mean by "safe" but typically you just use Odin to flash full stock 5.1.1, do a factory reset in stock recovery afterwards and you're done.

I'm guessing its just a June security patch.
I'm impressed Verizon is actually trying to keep up with the security updates on this device. BUT, i dont think they have a choice because this device is probably more used then the Note5 .

Anyone tried this update while being rooted?

Seems to have fixed some lag, heat , and battery drain issues I was having. Auto brightness is still borked. Still have to turn the brightness down manually in a dark room, and up to max outside.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of Google Fi. Which phone are you going to go with? I've thought about replacing my Note 4 DE with the Moto X Pure when they run it on sale again (was $319 a few days ago). But the Droid Z Force also looks nice.

Made my battery worse! A little less lag though....so got that goin for me!!! Lol

Not really the place to discuss it so I'll keep it brief.
My girlfriend has a Nexus 5X. The phone is amazing, updates are quick and common. It operates perfectly on marshmallow with no noticeable issues. We live in bum**** and she still gets service wifi calling and texting is fine, and no contracts. We pay about 42 a month for hers with insurance.

Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make it the actual default.

The MM update made this change to default app handling. I liked the old way too. Now if I want to change the default app I have to remember which app was set as default before I can make the change. Sometimes remembering which app was set as default isn't easy to do.

Deleted. Think was in wrong thread.

Been a long time sense I've posted anything in this forum.
I just went back to the Note 4 and did the MM update and have noticed a heavy draw on the battery compared to LP. Am wondering if letting it did cycle through a few time might correct the battery drain. Was on an iPhone for awhile, but for personal reasons came back android. Has anybody tried that yet. Have been temped to hard reset and start fresh to see if it fixes it.

This update has increased the battery draw on mine and it is running HOT! Need help.

New to Android. Need some help. Please! 7.1.1

Hello everyone. I recently switched from Iphone to Android and I am loving it so far. Bought the nexus 6p Gold over a week ago.
I am having problems with the the microphone. When I talk to someone is seems like they hear me very bad, like I am inside a submarine or very far away from the phone, which is odd because I was just holding the phone the normal way. I tested the mic on a recording app and I can hear myself very clearly. I have re searched and seems like a lot of people had/have this problem. I read something about the noise canceling thing on the back being an issue. And the best result would be to disable it. persist.audio.fluence.voicecall = put this to false or something. Anyways I was wondering if anyone can guide me through the steps on achieving this. I am running N 7.1.1, I currently have pixel launcher(loving it). I just want a simple root to get the mic working right on calls. I like the speed and design of the pixel launcher and would love to keep that and if I can get google assistant, even better if not its okay, I just want to use my phone to call people and for them to be able to hear me clearly... THANKS IN ADVANCE

I haven't had any issues with my mic but I assume you want to edit the build prop. I would use the Nexus Root Toolkit http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ and Wug has a buid prop edit tool that I like and root is not needed. If you have root on 7.0 then get a build prop tool from the app store. I would hold off on getting 7.1.1 for now. I know it's tempting but this is release 1 and I'v been seeing several issue threads and it's best let the pros work out the bugs. It won't take long before you see a full step guide for 7.1.1. Be Patient

This is a hardware problem. Exchange it ASAP.

Do you have a case or screen protector? Was it like this when you 1st got it? Did you put 7.1 on it or did it come that way? If it was me I would; take off any case or screen protector, do a clean wipe, then grab the factory 7.1, https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html and try that, no TWRP or root yet. If its still an issue, like @therock3181 said, I would think its a hardware prob.

Thanks for the reply. The phone is already in 7.1.1. Any way to downgrade? Whats your suggestion?

I don't have a screen protector. I got it on 7. On 6 it was working fine apparently, according to previous owner. Right now it is on 7.1.1. The weird this is that every voice recording app, or like messenger that i use to send voice messages works great its just in calls.

Hello. It is asking me for the current build that I am running. I don't see 7.1.1. what should I select?
Since you said to flash 7.0, I am assuming I select 7.0 Build from the list? There are 4 different 7.0 builds. Let me know
Thanks

Okay, So I was reading the options to flash stock/unroot and it says I need to be unlocked first in order to run that script. Help?

Alright, I figured out a way to go back to 7.0. I left the Android beta program and It gave me a 7.0 N download to go back. Now I am on 7.0. What do I do from here?

Anyone Having Trouble Using Textra on Their New Phone?

Nothing happens when I tap the send button. Anyone else having similar issues?

Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. A temporary workaround until a fix is produced is to enable "Send using Enter" in the settings.

Same here. I thought it was only me

Me too, I am back on the stock client for now. From what I can tell Textra needs to adjust touch placement for the notification bar. I was going to send them an email since they have been super responsive in the past... then I thought they probably hate me right now. lol
I noticed that you basically have to tap a CM(1/4") or two under what you actually want to touch. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon once the device is in more users hands.

Ditto...also can't swipe to delete unless I increase the font size to 150% (Settings - Customize Look)

Experiencing this as well!

Understood, adb hasn't always been my friend either and definitely had some trouble with getting this one connected as well. Hopefully Textra will come out with an official update shortly. They are usually pretty good in that regard.

I couldn't stand using the Google messenger app anymore... so I spent a lot longer than I should have doing the ADB commands... I had to use an older version of the Android SDK install I had on one of my computers...lol
It works and yeay... still sad I had to do it. lol

Still can't get the app to work. Super frustrating.

anyone know how to flash back to stock 7.0 after oreo beta update?

The update sucks and I'd like to go back to stock firmware. Anyone know how to do this without tripping knox? Surprised once u unenroll from the bats program it doesnt have an ota to go back to official firmware like Google does with the pixels and such.

Lol it's beta what did you expect, anyway you'll need to download a firmware for your variant and then flash through odin, this doesn't trip Knox or anything.

Yes it wiped my data but I was beyond frustrated with the oreo beta and just wanted the phone back to the way it was the day I bought it. All seems well back on 7.0. I did unenroll from the beta on the samsung+ app prior to flashing back to stock with smart switch and as soon as it booted back into the stock firmware, I was prompted to download the oreo beta. Highly annoying but found an app that allows you to block software update notifications. You would think samsung would take a few notes from google and provide an ota rollback to get back to stock but they didn't. Luckily smart switch was the easiest software I ever used to restore a phone. Literally plug in and just wait.

OK I used the cheater app to get Samsung + to give me the Beta on my unlocked S8. There is not a dis-enroll option in Samsung + that I can see (because I used the cheater app perhaps?) when I was on the Beta or now that I'm back on 7.0. I did use Smart Switch to downgrade. So as soon as I log in after downgrading, the Beta automatically downloads and best you can do is say install later which is says it will do at night. I factory reset thinking the upgrade it tied to my Samsung account but no, I sign in with a different Google ID and a different Samsung ID but still the Beta downloads. How and the hell do I get this to stop? All I can think of is see if I can disable updates with BK. This crazy.

Well it really looks no different, no magic feature that I noticed except duel messenger if you use that. I will offer the advice that if it's not offically offered to you via Samsung + where you will be able to dis-enroll, stay away. I forced it with the app being pushed here on XDA and now I can't keep it off unless I want to disable system update with BK. Just spent an hour on the phone with Samsung application support, they remoted into my phone then escalated the ticket for a callback. RutRow, wish there was a cheater app to dis-enroll in the beta.

So I took the plunge, even installed it without wiping and no issues at all. Not even a single crash or anything

The thing I couldn't take is when long scrolling, like a webpage where it take multiple finger swipes to get to the bottom or an app like Flibboard where you continue to scroll, the app will just close and your kicked back to the desktop.
Can you tell me how the Beta sign-up goes thru the app, Sammy support keep asking me what steps I did to sign up for the Beta. like they are wise to people forcing it. She asked a few times if I filled out a form. Thanks

You should tell them exactly how you cheated the system to get Oreo. Otherwise, you are just delaying the trouble shooting, when they are looking at the wrong end due to your lies.
