EDIT Wednesday March 13: Please see post #15 in this thread for a review of my experience with Google Nexus Support this afternoon.

Just got a Nexus 4. I was testing the push function for gmail and started seeing anomalies. Searches revealed these two threads
Issue 42272 - android - Nexus 4 stops responding to ARP requests when screen is off with wifi on - Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - Google Project Hosting
Google Groups
Obviously there's an issue. For me, the Gmail app is almost totally useless. After the phone goes to sleep, there is no way of telling what it will do. I send a test message from my desktop Gmail and it comes instantly. I send another right away with a small attachment and it takes 7 minutes. I'm posting here because I sent an email from my hotmail account to my gmail. It showed up instantly on my desktop and has completely failed to appear on my Nexus 4. Other emails have arrived since, and still no sign of the one sent from hotmail.
I saw two emails arrive in my Gmail on my desktop. I went to the Nexus and they weren't there. I stared at the phone for a while, then I clicked on the middle of the 5 icons across the bottom of my Inbox view (Labels, I think). There, I saw Inbox and Priority Inbox. Each had the number '2' beside them. I clicked on Priority Inbox and there were the two emails. I then clicked on the Inbox... and there were the two emails, which weren't there a second before that.
Is this an issue with every Android phone or just the Nexus 4? Does anyone have an idea if there's a fix for this that I haven't found?
Extremely disappointed, mostly because I am so sick of the iPhone and love most everything about the Nexus 4. But this is just totally unexpected, considering it's a Google Phone!!!
