Notifications - odd issue

OK I've had this issue for a little while since trying non-stock firmware but it seems really inconsistent. The issue seems to be network related but that's my basic diagnosis. The problem is that I seem to only get notifications if I wake the phone up to check manually.
The best example of this is using any Twitter application where I have it set to check every 15 minutes and it seems like half the time that works fine and notifications come through fine. The rest of the time, something that that happened not long ago too, I looked at my phone and nothing there. I opened Twitter app (I Tweet in this case), refreshed and messages from an hour or more ago popped up.
There's a similar issue I've had where notifications would be there but I wouldn't get the sound notification unless I wake the phone up where they'd be waiting for me. I put that down to using the Hero ROM though.
I thought it might be down to using the Hero ROM but now with Cyanogen's 3.8.9.1 the same thing happened. It's a big issue to me but I don't see anyone else having it. Any thoughts? The only thought I had on it is a data connection issue where nothing is pulled in regardless of settings unless I manually witness / do it. Halp

Damn, i thought i was the only one. I guess not, funny thing is im on JF V 1.51 ADP with HTC Hero theme V1.3.5. Same thing with me, sometimes the texts and other notifications come through fine...other times, i wont get nothing for hours and be like wtf, ill manually unlock my phone and as soon as i touch the button my phone starts vibratin, ringtones go off, a million pop ups and my phone goes nuts. I thought it was just me but i guess not, i wonder what this could be? Maybe its a specific something, lets see what we have in common...
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1
ROM: JF's ADP V1.51 Cupcake
Theme: HTC Hero V1.3.5
Text Messaging Apps: SMS Popup, ChompSMS
Facebook App: Bloo
Also, i have to re-do my email always after awhile because at first it will be fine and ill get the email notifications fine but then after a day or two it always stops working and i have to go through settings, into applications, then to email and delete cache/data. Go back into Email, re type my email, password and everything and then it just starts all over.
Little stupid ish like this is drivin me nuts.

Oh thank gawd.. at least we know that we're not going insane and imagining it! Unfortunately I don't see anything on the phone we have in common other than both ROMs being based on 1.51
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1 (UK)
ROM: Cyanogen 3.8.9.1
Theme: Running Open Home
Text Messaging Apps: None currently
Facebook: Spawn of the debil! Don't use it
I don't use e-mail other than GMail on my phone right now and that works fine as far as I can tell but I get so few e-mails I can't say for sure.

This is a known bug with Android, started before Cupcake. Reboot usually will fix it for a while, I usually reboot my phone once a week or so.

CM 6 and issues....

So who's done the leap and updated to CM 6?
Here's what I noticed, and I've be curious if anyone else has too.
1/ Apps2SD: Not quite sure what they are doing but there is some sort of method that uses 'moved to SD Card' but it seems that noone is calling it Apps2SD. It essentially does the same and seemingly working on my phone but my internal memory is down to 31.74MBs.
2/ The Email App (NOT to be confuse with GMail). Under 5.0.7 it worked just fine. Under 6 it will receive and I can read emails but I cannot reply. When I hit reply I get taken back to the list of emails I received.
3/ I'm using a new GApps Set:

Gmail works but Maps does not. It opens to the grey grid then closes. It's like the GPS wasn't turning on but it is turned on.
For this, I'm gonna go back to the other GApps set and see if that fixes this annoying issue.

Well, installing the old GApps set didn't work....it was acting like I did click on 'install anyzup from SDcard" in the recovery menu....oh well, reinstalled the newest suggested set and I'm back to where I was. GMail working but no Maps.
For those who can understand logs:

I'm going to try a fix_permissions but I am rather loath to do so...last time ir broke a bunch of other things which ended up in a re-flash.....well, here goes nearly lost hope....

Yeah...shoulda known....fix_permissions just seems to break things...

Phone rebooted after it finished booting up and I hadn't touched a thing.
It booted up and stayed the 2nd time but couldn't get into my wireless settings to tell it to connect to my provider without a FC.

Sigh...back to wiping and reinstalling again....maybe I will go back to 4.2....

[Q] Gmail frozen, not syncing.

Has anyone had this happen? I have been running Eugene's Hybrid R3 for a week or so now with no issues. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed that my LauncherPro Gmail Icon said I had 5 new emails. So, when I open Gmail at the top it says Inbox (5), but there are no new emails to open or read. When checking on the PC yes I do have 5 emails. So I tried refreshing, reconnecting, removing syncing for gmail, rebooting, and a few other things and still nothing.
Even today, I got on the pc and emptied my inbox, but my phone still says 5 new emails and when I open gmail it still showing the 2 read messages that were there yestrerday. It's really just frozen, not updating read, unread, new, etc.
I've also tried on 3g and Wifi, no difference.
Any ideas?
I'll be reflashing in a day or two when Eugene releases his new one, but it's a bit annoying right now.

Forget it. Got bored and reflashed Hybrid R3. I had too much crap installed and changed anyway. Working great again.

Gmail wont stop syncing

A few weeks ago I noticed my battery wouldn't last more than 6 hours. After a lot of troubleshooting, I found that gmail was the cause because it wouldn't stop syncing. Confirmed of course after deleting gmail for a couple of days.
But I really would like to keep the account on my phone. I set up that account again and for a few days it seemed fine, but my phone is constantly warm to the touch again and the battery just died... this time it hadn't even been 6 hours.
Has anyone else experienced this recently?
I'm on a lumia 1020 with black update.

What are your sync settings for your Gmail account? Since WP8, we couldn't set Gmail to sync "As Items Arrive", or push status. Could set as often as 15 minute only. Are there large files and/or attachments coming through?

I know, and I have it set to 15 minutes. I get a few photos every now and then but nothing out of the ordinary that should cause this. And as far as volume goes.... maybe 50 emails a day including the typical spam/promos that don't get filtered properly.

That's strange, on my ATIV S i don't occur that kind of problem, but i am not having my data turned on all the time. I turn it on just when i need to check something on internet or where there is no wi-fi spot around. And in email and accounts for Gmail i have the options "As They Arrived" to "Manualy", and ofcorse i chose "Manualy", I think we have to address this issue at Microsoft and Gmail together.

Push it to 30min for a day or two. See if that helps.

Didnt' make any changes. But it stopped doing it. So not gonnna keep digging, it was a hassle in the first place trying to figure out the cause over a couple of weeks. All I can say was deleting the account and adding it helped the first time. the 2nd time not sure. Oh well.

APP: Android Wear crashing

Android Wear App keeps crashing With the usual Unfortunately. ..message. Any ideas why?
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

This happened to me too repeatedly and out of the blue last night and continued on until the early afternoon... Now it seems to have fixed itself... Try uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting the phone

Clear app cache and app data, force close it and then re launch it. If that doesn't work uninstall it then reinstall.

what kind of phone are you using? custom rom/kernel, etc?
mine has been super stable since i installed it (one time it didn't want to connect to the phone but it has never crashed)

Do you happen to have a MS Exchange account logged onto your phone? If so, and I bet you do, that is what causes the issue. Something happens on the MS exchange server once per week (for me it's every Fri morning) that causes the Wear app to crash constantly. To test this, go into your accounts and remove your MS Exchange Activesync account and poof your wear app will function normally again. Otherwise just wait until the late morning and whatever happens will finish and wear will work normally again (with exchange logged in) until the same time next week ?
FYI, no amount of clearing cache or data or uninstalling will remedy this until either the exchange process is complete or you remove the exchange account temporarily.

Thank you this fixed it! Do we know what causes this? I would love to keep my exchange email.

I have no idea what causes this and I'm not the one who figured it out. There was one guy who figured this out. Since noticing this and confirming it I've emailed google and called them, etc, but they haven't returned NY emails yet. It will eventually go away usually the same day. You just have to put up with it for a few hours each week if you want to continue using your exchange on the phone. Then after the few hrs it ends up working fine again. That's what I do

Same problem and completely unacceptable...I require my exchange account every day for work, can't remove it and redo it once a week.
Until google resolves this it kills android wear devices for me.

Appointment
I had a recurring appointment coming up this morning at 9h, deleted the appointment, did an exchange sync and everything is working now.... I had deleted the yesterday occurrence of this appointment a few week back, maybe it don't handle this correctly.
Did any of you had any recurring appointment set on the day that the app started crashing?

I don't have any such exchange services, but still seem to be facing this same issue. Log reads something about a ExchangeSecurity issue... . I just got my G watch today.. haven't even been able to get passed the second screen.
Edit: was in fact my ROM, clean flashed a PA build... Worked like a charm.

I require exchange too, use "Touchdown" have had no issues.

This just started happening last week, I thought I got something out of whack on my device. I switched to a new device and the same problem cropped up, then I found this thread. I was able to workaround it for now by removing my account, then re-adding it but leaving off calendar sync. My guess is that I have some calendar event has a weirdly formatted contact which causes this problem.
