Gmail push notifications

Gmail's Synchronization Bug Is Far From Resolved: Users Still Reporting Issues Despite Promised Fix

Sounds like they're still not sure what's up. Glad to see they've collected some bug reports, but it's been a couple weeks now since then.

I don't know that I can blame Doze mode. Doesn't Doze "deactivate" when you pick the phone up and start using it? Doesn't seem to matter whether my phone is sitting in one place or being used. If it IS Doze, it has to be some kind of issue where the gmail app gets stuck in Doze mode? Idk if I'm buying that, especially when they did indeed say that the fix was coming server side.

The past few days have been pretty good for me as far as receiving push notifications. I did change an option on the phone regarding data access while roaming (mostly due to another possible issue) but I doubt that would have to do with the notification issue.

There were a few times when I'd open my Chrome at work and see an unread email that came in, but didn't recall getting a notification on the phone...but upon checking the phone, the notification was there. I have my phone set to vibrate only while at work and sometimes I can't feel it go off in my pocket. If I put the phone on my desk I'll certainly hear the buzz.

Crossing fingers here...

I'm still having issues here. My phone doesn't vibrate for emails, but my watch does. And if nothing else, I glance at the watch much more often. I just had a couple of new emails in my browser, but nothing on the phone. In fact, glancing at my tabs just now, there's another new email that my watch/phone aren't telling me about.

Good news is, that article I linked does have links to the Google forum article on the issue where the Googler has responded and updated a few times. Click on the dates when it's talking about his last post and it'll take you to there. You can +1 the issue and/or comment.

And now, I'm getting notified...

I shouldn't have said anything because now I'm not. LOL.

The other thing is I do force the sync to see the notification show up on my phone, I'll go into my browser, view the message and delete it...then on my phone, the message and notification stay present until I go and force that to go away.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Yeah. The sync seems to be lagging either way. I've deleted some late arriving emails on my phone a couple of times today, only to have to manually refresh my inbox in Chrome on my PC for them to actually go away.

It seems that since just before getting the M update on my S6, I've been getting push notifications normally again.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

I feel like I'm getting them more regularly now. I just got a gmail update in the last day or two. Of course, no mention of anything to do with sync in the "What's New" section.

Mine have been working very well the last few days. Pretty much instant as they should be.

I just did the M update this afternoon, and it seems as though emails are coming through in a timely manner. I'll pay more attention to it tomorrow

I thought there were sporadic notifications the past couple days, but then I realized...Doze is doing it's job.

While at work, I've been leaving my phone on my desk when I'm at my desk to let Doze do it's battery-saving thing. Then I'll notice in the browser on my computer that I get some email. Though the phone doesn't go off...I bump the phone or wake it up, and a second later I get the notification on the phone.
