Gmail Sync Issues After Froyo Update

**tommy m** · 08-01-2010, 12:22 AM

My two gmail accounts ( on the gmail app) have always worked great on 2.1. Moving to 2.2 my primary gmail pushs instantly. My secondary gmail account doesn't sync at all. I have to manually sync to get it to work. I have it enabled and have tried clearing the cache/data and even deleted and reinstalled the account. Mobile data is always on...No luck. Anyone else having this issue? Any Suggestions?

Add me to the WTF list. Really annoying.

**schultepk** · 08-01-2010, 02:19 PM

Mine is doing this now and I haven't even updated to 2.2...

**CrashPush** · 08-01-2010, 02:24 PM

Updated this morning to 2.2 and Gmail sync is working for me exactly like in 2.1.

Thats odd

**willsurg#AC** · 08-01-2010, 06:30 PM

i can confirm that after froyo, only one of my gmail accounts is getting pushed to my phone.

**scoobdude** · 08-01-2010, 08:01 PM

Any one tried a hard reset yet? This has cleared ip other issues and is a pain but thought it would be worth a shot

**tommy m** · 08-01-2010, 08:16 PM

I did a hard reset when flash was all jacked. It fixed the flash but gmail is a no go

**ihbsbA** · 08-02-2010, 09:47 PM

Do we have any progress on this??? I am really not happy that my email isn't pushing.......

I'm having this problem too. Anyone got any ideas?

**organix** · 08-03-2010, 09:54 AM

I have only one gmail account synced to my phone and it is working fine.

**Gekko** · 08-03-2010, 09:57 AM

maybe try deleting the secondary Gmail account that's not syncing and then re-add it?

**Gekko** · 08-03-2010, 10:42 AM

i think mine was doing this too and i think i fixed it. here's what i did but not sure which step fixed it - in no particular order -

1. deleted secondary Gmail account and then re-added.
2. cleared cache of Gmail App in settings.
3. added Contacts and Calendar sync along with Gmail for secondary Gmail account even though i just use email on that Gmail account.
4. for both Gmail Accounts - in settings - i UNCHECKED "Notify once".
5. power down and power back up.

How can you tell which is the PRIMARY account?? I have 4.

IMO just follow all the steps with all Gmail accounts you have. let us know how it works.

Is your mail working now?
That "Notify once" thing is new, so I wonder if it's the bug...... but it's in all of my settings not just the primary acct...... ??

no the "Notify once" is not new. i saw it in 2.1. follow all of the steps and uncheck that on all accounts.

let us know!

**pwnst_r** · 08-03-2010, 11:42 AM

Gekko - the problem with your possible solution is that you thought one of your accounts was having the issue then you thought your steps fixed it.

**DaveInFL#AC** · 08-03-2010, 11:42 AM

I have tried all the above fixes to no avail. Anyone have other suggestions?

no way to ever be 100% sure about anything. let's just say i was 99% sure. it did not appear to be working before my fixes but now does.

rather than break my balls over my suggested solution - why not just try it and see if it fixes your problem?

**ihbsbA** · 08-03-2010, 12:03 PM

Gekko, I don't think it's working, are you SURE it's working on yours? I have just done two VERY scientific tests..... ok, not really.....I have gmail loaded and watching on the web and on my phone. It showed up on the web, but not on the phone. Waited 5 minutes and pressed refresh and it showed up.

yes EVO Girl mine is pushing. one thing i do notice is that the notification isnt always there in the pane nor does it beep but when i go to the account the mail is there and has been pushed. i'd say this happens 1/10 of the time. note that i am not pressing the "Refresh" button to see it - it's already there and pushed. so it's pushing but not always notifying.

IMO i would re-do the steps. good luck.
