The phone synced just fine the first day with push now I have to manually refresh gmail to sync the mail. I have gone throughout the phone to find every place to select auto-sync etc and it will no longer work.

I added a contact to my contact list on Thursday and it didn't show up until Friday. I made heavy changes yesterday (clearing out the useless ones) and it still has not shown up. So maybe it doesn't update every minute, I get that. What I don't get is how I have....
removed and replaced "Corporate" from the displayed lists on my contacts menu
removed and replaced "Corporate" from the Accounts and Sync > Sync Contacts option
turned off and on Auto-Sync on Accounts and Sync
....and the changes STILL haven't shown up! Do I really have to remove the account and replace it in order for changes to show up? How much of a "sync" is this if I make a change and nothing happens for days? When I turned off and on Auto-Sync, the grey sync icon appeared on the notification bar and ALL the accounts under Accounts and Sync showed they were currently syncing. I waited until the process was done, then went to my contacts list and saw no changes.
Any suggestions? How do you get changes to appear immediately or is that not how SYNC works with contacts in Exchange on this phone? My email syncs immediately, new mail and read mail will display almost simultaneously on both the phone and PC, so how come contacts won't do the same???
i did this the other night. went in and cleaned up my gmail contacts, because i had old versions of contacts that i have updated versions of in exchange. by the time i was done with editing my contacts, they were already synced with my phone...
Gmail sync is flaky sometimes. I have had many branded Android phones, and sometimes you find a change that just won't sync.
My final solution when i am really frustrated is to just delete the account from the phone, reboot and add it back.
I have not had any problems in a while though.
I have no idea if this application supports the Google Exchange Contact List (no idea what that is) but I've found MailDroid to be much much faster than either the stock mail app or the GMail app, and have lots of nice features.
Hey there
I have a rather annoying issue since I switched to froyo (proper OTA) with my gmail app:
it does not auto-sync, nor tell me instantly when a new mail arrives. Actually, it only tells me, when I manually sync the accounts.
I reckon to have set it up the right way*, rebooted the device, deleted and re-added the accounts, but still no notifications when I receive mails.
Yet, is there maybe any point I missed?
Thanks
*Application's allowed to sync data all the time; allowed to sync automatically; accounts set to sync their mail
Do you have more than one Google account set up on the phone?
If so, this is a known issue
Stock ROM, Gmail stopped syncing. No more email comes in unless I manually go and hit refresh in the Gmail app, or go to settings and force sync it. This just started happening. Have the phone for almost a month without any issues, then as of say an hour ago, it just stopped syncing emails. No error messages in the sync menu. Normally if there is an issue with sync, there is a red exclamation mark stating an issue, but there isn't any. It just shows that Gmail was last synced at the last time I manually synced it.
Any thoughts?
Upon further testing, I see that Gmail does have an active connection to the server. If I mark an email unread in Gmail, it immediately reflects on the Gmail client in the Note II. If I send a test email, my Gmail.com shows the new email, but the Note II Gmail app does not until I manually sync it. It's very weird.
Clear data. Should work.
also you might try opening up your settings in gmail, and go through those settings. There is an option there to have gmail sync on or off. I was going to suggest clear data in the gmail app, but that already been suggested.
I used to have this problem frequently on my last phone. I never found a permanent fix but did notice that somehow the settings in gmail would change by themselves and gmail sync on/off was one of them as well as the one where you can decide to let it notify you for every email or just once for the initial email.

+1 -- usually fixes issues.
I have selected for all my mail accounts to sync every 30 mins. However for some accounts, my phone gets the email immediately as if push is selected. I suspect it is a reason of my battery life problems. Any way to make it to behave as selected?
I have not been able to get mail pushed in almost 3 weeks. I always have to manually retrieve/refresh. I have tried using the native email and the gmail app but neither have any push option. I have sync on (both inside the email options and inside the Accounts Sync), power saver is OFF.
Has anyone else been able to consistantly have their yahoo and gmail email accounts pushed to this phone?

I use K-9 and would recommend trying that for your email. I went ahead and tested with my Gmail account and personal account. The default email app didn't push my personal account or my gmail account. I turned on sync for Gmail and after a couple minutes syncing, I then sent a test message on computer and received notification within seconds on phone.
I installed aqua mail last night and so far push is working like it should. Thanks for responding.
