Every single notification has now worked since 8-21-17. I have not opened this Gmail account in Windows 10 since that time. There must be some sync problem between Windows and Android that I am now avoiding. The contrast in getting notifications is huge.

Since my last post, I have refrained from opening this Gmail account on the computer. During this period, notifications have worked within a minute or two every single time in complete contrast to what was happening before when I left the tab in place and deleted the old emails using the...

Just missed another lead because it took an hour for a notification to sound on the phone. Went to Gmail, there was an email which had arrived one hour earlier than the notification sounding.

It does not make any difference whether the phone is in safe mode or not or if Missed Notifications is installed or not (except that there is no reminder). What is consistent is that notification failure happens most often when the computer is turned off or when the Gmail tab has not been...

Phone is LG K7. I touch the Google icon and then touch the Gmail icon if I want to look at a Gmail email on the phone. No power saving mode is turned on. Restrict Background Data is not turned on. Notification by sound is turned on. Missed Notification Reminder app is installed so that there...
