[Q] Gmail Sync Delays? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've been searching all over the forums, am I alone with this issue? It seems that my new Xperia Z faces sync delay issues after being "connected" for a few minutes or hours. What I mean is if I have just gotten off of Airplane mode, or switched from 2G to 3G or other way around, I get my Gmails instantly. But after a while, Gmails are sometimes delayed by up to 30 minutes!
Battery Stamina mode is off, syn is on, and I have notifications on for all emails.
I've wiped my device clean multiple times and I'm on the latest (.253) OS. This is getting quite annoying. My iPhone receives Gmails before my Android?!!!!
Could it be a hardware issue? If so I will take my phone in. Are there other settings I have missed perhaps?
Please help :crying:

[Q] Delayed Notification in Stock ROM

I just upgraded from Note 2 to Note 3. My push notifications (for gmail, hangouts and facebook chats) are delayed by 15 mins to upto 2 hours in some cases. I never had this issue with Note 2 (4.1.2 stock), I always used to get notifications instantly. Now with note 3, I receive all notifications with delay and all of them come at the same time after the delay.
I created a text file and I logged my wifi connection using tasker. Wifi doesnt get disconnected, its always connected. My wifi sleep policy is to have wifi always on. I know I have steady wifi connection cause I am using it with other devices.
This occurs only when the phone is idling. If I am actively using it, it works fine. But this is really pain cause whenever someone sends me "instant message" I usually get it after an hour even though I am in full wifi coverage (60Mbps)
Anyone else experienced this problem with their android devices lately? Know of any solution?

I had this happen like one time and never looked into the cause of it. It never reoccurred so I just kind of shrugged it off. That's really bizarre...
Just got a note 3 a week ago and all my push notifications (whatsapp, facebook, etc) are delayed when the screen is closed. When it is opened, it delays less.
I tried using the PNF app to change the heartbeat (the non rooted version), messed with all the configurations on the wifi (it happens with wifi on or off).
Still happening after 2 weeks!! No one else having the same issue?

I have same problem. Took back my first note 3 thinking it was defective and the new one doing samething. Frustrating.im thinking I'm gonna have to go to different phone sadly
I got the same problem. I have a European version. Sent it back to Samsung but they couldn't find something... Did anyone found a solution yet? Because it's really frustrating.
As of late, I have been running into similar issues, though they don't seem to on a permanent basis (sometimes I get notified within seconds or minutes, sometimes it takes a few hours or until I unlock my device).
My phone is a german version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running the Samsung stock Android version 4.4.2
One of the possible causes for this upon which I stumbled during my search for a solution was that the push connection might time out once in a while and take up to half an hour to be reestablished due to the long heartbeat interval set in stock Android.
But since the interval should be between 15 minutes (WiFi) and 28 minutes (3G) as stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142503, this would not account for notifications being delayed by several hours or even not to arrive at all while the screen is turned off.
Does anybody know whether Samsung stock might be implementing some kind of additional sleep mode which might prevent the connection from being reestablished by heartbeat monitoring and maybe even how to turn this 'feature' off without root (last thing I heard, rooting a Note 3 might trigger an e-fuse used as additional security measure for Samsung KNOX, but also allowing them to entirely refuse hardware warranty on rooted devices)?
Thanks!
I sent it back 2 times now, but still no solution. I also want to try a custom rom to see if that fixes it, but I'm also afraid that I lose my warranty if I root my device. If anybody can confirm that the stock rom is the problem, you'd help me a ton!

I do face this problem on my note3. I already do hard reset few time but still delay on my whatsapp and yahoo mail. Im using Note 3 LTE running Kitkat 4.4.2
I guess no one has a solution for this yet?
The problem is not app specific. The delay in notification happens all across the board. When my phone is sleeping, i dont get any notification. As soon as I wake it up, all notification come at the same time, including Yahoo mail, Gmail, hangout messages, whatsapp, Google voice, twitter and others.
It seems like the wifi/data is disabled when phone is sleeping. I double checked in the Advanced Wifi option that wifi is always on.
Why only few of us are seeing this issue?

It most likely only happens if the provider (your router for wifi, your carrier for 3G/4G) closes a connection after a certain amount of time goes by that it's not used. The heartbeat (the phone sends out a message on the connection every x minutes) keeps the connection open. Either 4.4.2 doesn't send the heartbeat any longer (it's not really part of Android, so there's no guarantee that Google will keep it when they update Android), or the provider of those people seeing the problem has a shorter timeout than the 15 minutes(wifi)/28 minutes (3G/4G) that the phone uses. PNF allows you to shorten the heartbeat time. 5 minutes is usually short enough to work for any connection, but you can shorten it more if you need to. (It won't use more battery - sending a keep-alive message takes a lot less battery than reestablishing the connection.)

Do you have power saving on? Cos for me I had it on all the time and as soon as I turned it off it solved the issue! Maybe give it go

SentinelRom issues (no notifications and no 4G)

Whenever I use Apps like Facebook Messenger or Snapchat, my phone (SentinelRom 6.0, CM 11.0) doesn't notify me. No matter how much I check the settings, I can't find the options to turn notifications on.
Another issue is that I can't turn on 4G either. It can't find a 4G signal. Whereas normal 3G works just fine. Anyone experienced similar issues?
edit: doing some testing, it seems I do get notifications after immediately turning off screen now. Gonna try to test it after half an hour screen sleep.
edit 2: did more testing with screen shut down for an hour. Got notifications. Maybe it was because I had low battery that I didn't receive any notifications yesterday.

WiFi appears to be on even when switching it off

Hello people,
I had a weird issue the past few nights with my WiFi. Specifically, I turn off all data, wireless and mobile, when going to bed. However, when waking up yesterday and today, my screen was full of notifications, which wouldn't have possibly come through with all toggles off. I thought that maybe it happened because my Android Wear smartwatch was pushing notifications to the phone (it has standalone WiFi connectivity) but it looked weird so I decided to test it.
I switched off WiFi/Data/Bluetooth on the phone and WiFi/Bluetooth on the watch and tried to send myself a messenger message. It came through, even with no apparent connectivity! I could also reply to it (from facebook messenger) although I couldn't browse websites through Chrome. Hmm weird. I tried turning Airplane mode on and off and it seems to have fixed that. I used my default config to test my Wear theory, only Bluetooth on phone and WiFi/Bluetooth on watch, and no messages came through, so the solution was apparently the Airplane mode toggle.
Anyone else experienced something similar?

Note 9 not syncing properly

Hi,
I have a note 9 which isn't always syncing probperly. It's as if I have power saving mode on, which I do not.
Example: I get an email in my Gmail-inbox without a notification. So when I randomly open the app some time and update, the poof I get emails sent to me 20 minutes ago. At night I get zero notifications of emails.
Messenger: I write som messages with my friends on my PC, pick up mi phone 20 minutes later and the "older" messages are still there and poof, the list starts to rattle through all messages to get up to speed.
What could the issues be? I've checked all apps and they have full access to the phone in terms of rights. Power saving mode is disabled and the phone has been rebooted several times.
Thanks for your help.

S20 FE AT&T - delays getting push mail?

I'm not sure if it's due to WiFi shutting off while the phone is asleep or not, but I've experienced several delays in emails coming in the past few months, a couple of which cost me a large amount of money because of me not getting notified, and then not being the first to respond to the email.
Some of these delays are as much as 30 minutes. I've confirmed that on my desktop computer the email was immediately available, just no notification on the phone until much later.
I've tried turning off power management for Gmail... WHen that didn't help, I tried moving over to Protonmail. Same thing - delays even with power management turned off for the app.
I suspect it might be the WiFi turning off as the phone goes to sleep, but I can't find a setting to control that anymore since Android 11 came in.
Any suggestions?
someone has made a thread like this already and there was a solution.
have a look at battery optimisation and background data for Gmail, quicker to use search for them than me remembering exactly how you get there.
