How Long does it take your Gmail Mail Push?

[Eugd]

It seams that It is a good 8-10 minutes for the gmail to push to the Incredible? I thought it would be quicker, I have a 30 minute set for the other emails. When I first got it, it was 1-2 minutes but now much longer?

Should be instant, hence "push"

Agreed. I get mine within seconds.

I often get mine before it goes to my laptop. I.E., instantly.

Push doesn't necessarily mean instant. It just means that the mail server delivers it to you instead of you pooling the mail server for messages. From my understanding depending on your order in the mail server when the mail was received etc, it could be from 1-50 minutes. I normally get mine within seconds though. I've had a few emails that it took 2-3 minutes.

If you need your mails any quicker than that you should have gotten a blackberry!

Some people have the same problem with Blackberries.

Same here. There was a day where I'd only get it when HTC's mail app checked, and my GMail app had to be manually refreshed. I ended up disabling imap, clearing my app data in gmail's app, then re-enabling imap and it was working after that.

It's been instantaneous for me.

My Gmail is as fast as my BB was get most of the messages within seconds.

Yup same here. Maybe it has something to do with routing between the account you have sent it from. Sometimes, our work email servers, if receiving/sending a batch of emails will take a time out so that it doesn't get blacklisted off the network for spamming plus to control network usage. Maybe your email has just been cached to be sent out on the next timed interval so it took longer.

True. Although typically "push" notifications are instant, hence no need to set a sync interval. As someone that is constantly on the go, I'd be mad if I got an important e-mail 1 hour later

When I had always-on data disabled it wouldn't be instant for me ever, usually it took several minutes or it wouldn't push at all until the next time I turned on my phone. Now that I turned always-on data back on I always get notified pretty much instantly. See the thread I created about this here:

Well actually, my friends Palm Pre[Plus] gets mail from ANY vendor, Google, Yahoo, MSN etc... any vendor instantly with push.

Um ok? And so does my Blackberry and Android phone you just got to understand how it works and how to set it all up depending on what phone you got.

I disabled it, because it was part of the battery life fix, I will enable it to see if it speeds up the process. thanks for the input.

 

[Kitchen42]

Within seconds for me, too.

Push notifications shouldn't affect your battery that much as it is NOT syncing. It's sort of like SMS messages("push" notifications as well). This will not affect your battery life in any way. I'd turn it back on if I were you as you're just negatively affect your experience with the phone and dumbing down the features.

Agreed. I ran my INC for a day with it off, checking the drain in Battery Left and then for a dat with it on. My activity was pretty much the same each day. There was almost no difference in my battery use. I have calibrated Battery Left and verified that I get 15.5 hours or so before battery shut down just like BL says.
