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.

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.
Has anyone experienced gmail sync issues?
Mine works fine for a couple of hours after reboot. Then it doesn't automatically sync. I need to refresh to get the emails. I haven't located the reason why it stops synching.
I was hoping starting from scratch by reinstalling everything (even wiping out the data) with the latest ROM will fix it but didn't help.
Please help.

yes its happening to me too. Works initially but doesn't later on. How do i refresh it?
I was seeing the same thing the past 2 days. I did a refresh about 7 hours ago and gmail has been syncing ok since then. Not sure what's making it work/not work either.
incubus: to refresh, go into the gmail app and then press the menu button. You'll see the refresh button there.
I had this problem intermittently also, Then it just corrected itself.

yeah mine just started working right
You can also sync manually by going to settings>data syncronization> hit menu button and press "sync now"
or go into gmail hit menu/sync

It's working now.
Perhaps, it was the gmail server issue?
is anyone having issues with GMail messing up the contat pictures for your contacts. Mine has removed/replaced them with pics of people that the pic does not belong to. really pissing me off having to go through and updating the pictures every week.

no... mine have worked perfectly since the start. Have you gone onto gmail.com on a computer and reviewed the contacts in question to see if there is some kind of info messed up there?
This gmail sync issue is happening again intermittently. This is a bit annoying.
ive found the sync issues seem to be related to 1.6..
ive switched to 2.1 (and back and forth the last little while), and find the email sync issues only happen in 1.6

Thanks. I confirm this. After upgrading to 2.1, gmail sync works 100%.
Give this a try:

I noticed today that I haven't gotten any of my emails pushed to my phone. I checked Settings > Accounts & sync > Google and the last time my stuff was synced was yesterday, Thu, Jul 22 at 3:24 pm. Nothing happens when I click on Sync now. Similarly, nothing happens if I go to the Calendar or Gmail app and click on Sync. I don't know if this is relevant, but sometime yesterday my phone started telling me my phone storage space is running low. It's at about 14.3 MB. Could this somehow be preventing the sync? I restarted my phone to no avail.
And now my Market refuses to download or update any apps. They just get stuck at "Starting download..." Also, my Market looks very different from normal!
1) The rightmost button used to be "Downloads," not Sprint!
2) I can only get to my downloads by pressing Menu.
3) Clicking on Sprint brings a section I've never seen before! It's just a list of apps, but until now I have never seen it.
This isn't a local data outage because other data apps are working.
Exactly the same thing has happened to me but I'm not rooted. Just Sprint/HTC Android 2.1.
Was updating apps and market started acting flaky, then the Sprint tab appeared. Rebooted updated more apps, no problem. Tried to install Nook which is a large app, got message that install failed due to corrupted file. From that point on low memory notification stays on even after removing an app. Tried installing Nook again to uninstall thinking the failed install left something in the memory. No luck even downloading now.
Can't download and sync won't work even after rebooting and renewing Profile. And low memory notification stays on. In hindsight I noticed the low memory notification popping on somewhat frequently the last few weeks when in fact there was no real memory problem.
Came here thinking it's time to root my Hero and upgrade to 2.2 since Sprint has announced no more upgrades for the Hero.
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.
I've had my Note 5 since launch and I love it, great device, and it hasn't given me any guff at all until this just started happening about a week ago.
My phone keeps overwriting my contact's pictures, and deleting my favorites in the phone app.... If I reset everything the way I like it within 2 hours my favorites are gone again and the contact's picture is removed.
I haven't made any changes to anything. My contacts are synced from an Exchange server account. Been running BPE5 sideloaded since it was available, no problem. I decided to revert and do the OTA to BPE6 to see if that fixed my problem, but the problem persists.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
