Question Gmail syncing / notifications problem

[Bunecarera]

I have a problem with Gmail not syncing properly.
From time to time, it will stop notifying me of new emails.
When going in the app, the mails will come in, without the need to swipe down to refresh.

It has been a couple of days like this now...
Pretty annoying.

And to state the obvious...
Yes, I have enabled syncing.
And YES battery optimization for Gmail is disabled...
Not even the intelligent thingy.

Anybody had the same?
Any ideas?
Have read al lot of topics about it, but no clear solutions...

To my knowledge, Gmail has been having these issues for at least a few weeks now, it's not only you.

Had the issue all last week (Ireland). The last 2 days it's working fine. No changes made to phone.

Mmm, strange.
My girlfriend does not have any issues on her old Oneplus 5.

So completely random?

Same as that, the Mrs has OnePlus 5 and no issues at all with Gmail notifications.

Same here... Had that same issue with my 7 Pro.

Via adb?
Don't want to do that every reboot...

 

[dmarden]

No changes are needed, it is working off and on for people randomly. It stopped working for me for 4 days, then 2 days ago was fine again.

I've done manual syncing for a long time.
Sick of unreliable busy things running around in the background.
For the last couple months I've kept Google play Services* disabled unless I sync Gmail, I rarely use Gmaps or Playstore so I don't care.

My stock Note 10+'s battery usage is down to >7% an hour SOT using the Brave browser constantly. That means not only less charging but less strain on the battery out of the gate. I don't consider Google to be a trusted vendor so limiting it's access is a good thing.

*keeps Find my Device from autostarting it's bloody self as well.

I've had this issue with Android for quite some time now. With my S21 Ultra, all I had to do was disable doze with adb commands and never restart my phone. It was so nice getting email notifications at the same time as my iPhone.

I thought I could do the same with the OP9 Pro, but this isn't the case. I too have turned optimisation off, turned doze off, and keep the app open in the background - to no avail.

It's so sad to receive a notification on my iPhone that is fairly important to my business, only to get it anywhere between 10 minutes to several hours later on what is supposed to be my business cell. I'm unfortunately outside of the return window with the phone, otherwise this frustration would've lead me to another iPhone.

So insanely frustrating. I don't think I'll be carrying an Android phone much longer if this persists and the iPhone 13 is as good as I'm hoping it is.

Activate Developer options>Standby apps, all buckets should show as active, if not power management is active!
Power management will cause erratic behavior.
You need to be up to speed to use an Android effectively.

iphone? So blah, pastels and made in CCP sweat shops
NO☣☣

So many people (including me) already mentioned this issue with Gmail notifications. It is definitely a bug and OnePlus is aware about it. Not sure when it will be corrected...
Waiting for an update, I recommend to use "Spark" app which is working good for all my mailboxes.

The beautiful thing about Android is there's almost always a 3rd party work around.
You're not locked in.
Glitches aren't uncommon, but most are small ones. Finding work arounds is a part of Android ownership... use it's flexibility to your advantage.

I thought I was the only one who had this problem.

 

[brugernavn]

a reboot fixes it for me for a couple of days, then its back to not showing any notifications.

A reboot a day seems reasonable...

Maybe 11.2.6.6 update fixed this problem, I don't have the problem for now.
