I have Gmail setup on my Outlook, Galaxy Tab and S3.

As I was working on the desktop an email was received in Outlook and the Tab at 4:07PM. As I am expecting an important work related email to come in later this evening when I'm away from the office, I decided to see if that same message was received on the phone too, just to be sure it was syncing properly. It was not in the phone's inbox even 20 minutes later. No notification and no light.

After waiting a bit longer I decided to check the All Mail label on the phone and sure enough the message was there and appeared to have been since 4:07 PM. So I switch back to the inbox to see if it was there now. It was not.

Deciding then to hit the sync icon on the lower right of the Gmail home screen it popped into the inbox.

Any one else out there having a similar issue, or fix?

Strangely, as I was composing this post another email came in and it synced properly on all three devices. Perhaps it was just a fluke and I am over reacting.

Probably...I too have a few mobile devices with Gmail, and this happens every now and then.

To fix (if it doesn't just fix itself), step 1 is to do a simple reboot...if that doesn't fix it, step 2 is to go into settings and delete data from the gmail app to initiate a FULL resync.

Doesn't happen to me very often (once every few months?), but this always gets me back to working gmail.

Check clock set on android

If too far out it can affect SSL certificate verification and you don't always get useful errors reported

Hi,

I have a similar problem on my brand new S3. Gmail app works fine when I'm on WiFi and I receive notifications almost immediately. But when I switch my internet connection to Mobile Data I never receive notifications and I have to manually click the refresh button to see new emails. I've searched through the settings and through help but couldn't find anything.

What do you think would be the problem?

I've found just a workaround!

My problem, gmail not syncing, calendar not syncing, tasks not syncing.
Tried every suggestion online, starting from:
which is kind of comprenhensive.

Reboot, reboot, reboot won't make it better!

Then I realized of the following, I had been accessing the internet through WiFi when available, then switching to my Data plan, android started to behave awkwardly, but still syncing.

Therefore, the idea, what if I remove the mobile company chip and see what happens????

Well that's it, my mobile is syncing again...

¡Diviértanse!

Hey, same problem here, how do you reboot though? The whole phone or just the apps? thanks

Manu,
If you want to reboot your phone, just hold down the power button - it'll bring up a selection list that lets you choose between a reboot or complete shutdown.

If you're having Gmail sync issues, the first thing to check is to be sure that you have sync enabled. In Gmail, press the Menu button -> Settings -> <your Gmail address> and verify that in the DATA USAGE section it says "Gmail sync is ON".
Another place to check - from any Home screen, press the Menu button -> Settings -> scroll down until you find the Accounts section -> select Google (or your account if it's shown directly) and verify that Gmail is checked.
