Gmail not syncing in real-time

[dlee1001]

On my non-rooted Froyo UCKH1 Infuse 4G, my Gmail refuses to sync in real-time. When I get new e-mail, the time between when the e-mail was sent and the time when I receive the e-mail ranges from 2 minutes to as much as 30 minutes. This is a huge source of irritation because I like having my e-mail arrive as they are sent.

I can tell that my phone isn't the problem, because I have an Exchange account set up on the E-mail app (the @ icon) for my school, and I receive e-mail from that account instantly.

There are no task killers installed on my phone. Background data and auto-sync are both enabled. My Google account settings are set to sync only Gmail, nothing else.

In the settings within the Gmail app, I have the notifications set to notify me for every message (check box is unchecked), notify me in status bar, default ringtone is postman, and vibrate.

I am signed in to Google Talk 24/7.

Given all this, what could be preventing Gmail from syncing in real-time? I tried factory data resetting, but that did not solve the problem. It doesn't seem to matter whether my phone is in Wi-Fi or the mobile network.

Please, I need answers. This is very annoying and sometimes frustrating. Any help could be of use, so please do not hesitate to post your suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I am having the same exact problem, though I am not signed into Google + all the time. This started about a month ago.

Under your phone settings go to accounts and sync make sure Background Data and Auto Sync is set to on. My setup looks different because I'm not Stock but check out my photo.

And also make sure Sync Gmail is checked

I'm currently having the same problem. Everything that should be checked is enabled. :-\

I've done everything exactly as cited above, but my galaxy s2 still does not sync with my gmail at all. The sync fails with the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Shortly is now going on a week.

This started when I set up my gmail to require 2 step verification for login. My galaxy simply kept telling me that my password was wrong with no option to enter a verification code. So, each time I want to use gmail on the phone I have to disable the 2 step verification on a computer, then log in to gmail on my phone.

You'd think the phone makers would have figured that out!
