Gmail Push no longer works after update to iOS 4.2.1

I have tested this several times. What previously worked as push yesterday no longer works as push from my Gmail account today after updating to 4.2.1. Is anyone else having this issue? In order to get mail to show up on my phone, I have to go into Mail on my phone. Then the little connecting thing starts up and all the mail since the last time I checked appears.

This may be related -- I just updated my iPhone to 4.2.1 from 4.1. I immediately found that my Google Apps accounts, which had been configured as vanilla IMAP in Mail.app and successfully synced with iPhones as such for the past couple of years, have now started to sync with my iPhone as gmail accounts (not plain IMAP) and have therefore completely lost the custom From addresses, as it seems the iPhone does not allow custom From addresses in gmail accounts. (The accounts list in iPhone mail now has little red gmail icons instead of the generic blue account icons.) It also seems that push no longer occurs, whereas it certainly used to.
Deleting all of the mail accounts from the iPhone, power-cycling the iPhone and then freshly syncing mail accounts from iTunes results in the same outcome. It is as though the iPhone is looking at the IMAP/SMTP settings and inferring that since they end with .gmail.com that the accounts are of type gmail, regardless of the fact that I have said that they are plain old IMAP. (It is tempting to create a noddy domain with CNAMEs pointing at {imap,smtp}.gmail.com just to fool the iPhone however it would probably then complain about invalid SSL certificates.)
I deleted one of the accounts and recreated it manually on the iPhone. This lets me create a plain IMAP account even with {imap,smtp}.gmail.com server names, however when editing the address field, the keyboard which appears is bizarre -- no comma key! (Yes, I searched the various modifier keys, etc.) So, I copied a comma into the clipboard, pasted it into the middle of two From addresses and was at least mildly relieved to find that the mail program did then let me choose between the addresses. However, given half a dozen Google Apps accounts and a plethora of custom From addresses, there is no way that I am going to create this stuff manually. Maybe I will give that CNAME trick a go after all...
My iPad on 4.2 is fine, however I have a hunch that I have not since resynced mail accounts to it since updating. I'll certainly not be daring to do that now.

  • Share button no longer working after updating to iOS 6.1.2

    So this morning I updated both my iphone and ipad to 6.1.2 and now the share buttons in the app store no longer works, when I use the search function. To be specific if I do a search for anything and then try and open one of the apps in the search results and push the share button it never opens up the window to select a sharing option. The loading wheel at the top of just spins endlessly, but if I go to the "featured apps" page and click an app the share feature works. Worth noting that my iPad was also updated and works regardless

    Hey I get this too does anyone else get it? Would just reinstalling fix it?
    I have an iPhone 4 with 6.1.2.

  • Screen sharing option no longer works after updating to iOS Maverik. I am using AIM and so is the other person who i am trying to share my screen with. .

    I am using AIM and so is the other person who i am trying to share my screen with. I log into AIM with an @aol.com account. I can request to share my screen and share the other person's screen. The window will pop up on the other computer, but after clicking accept it will go back to saying that there is a request for screen share. What should I do to fix this?

    HI,
    To be clear, iOS = iPhone and iPad and some iPod Touches and the Operating System they use.
    Mac OS X = the Operating System Mac computers use.
    Regarding the AOL account, is this actually from AOL and have the Chat/Messaging option enabled ?
    Or is it a Name registered with the AIM part of AIM ?
    You can have AOL as your ISP  and have an email and User ID from them.
    This needs to have the ability to use the name as a Chat name enabled (or at least it used to)
    AIM, which actually stands for AOL Instant Messaging has it's own registration site.
    Nowadays  you register for a AIM email (although activating it for mail is another additional step).
    It used to be that the bit before the @aim.com bit was the user name you used in Chat applications that could use AIM.
    Previous to the current system you could in fact register just a Screen Name with them.
    Apple (and a few US based ISPs) also have agreements with AIM that their (Apple, etc.)  emails are recognised as Valid AIM Screen Names.
    This means those issued by  Apple ending in @mac.com, @me.com issued from the iCloud registration and @icloud.com.
    (You do have to keep your password to 16 characters or less.)
    From what you are saying you seem to be sure that you can see each other as On Line in your respective AIM Buddy lists ?
    In Messages in both Mountain Lion and Mavericks you do not have to display the Buddy lists
    (See the Window Menu plus the General Section of the Preferences to separate them)
    Are you also saying that in the Video menu the option to allow Screen Shares is Enabled ?
    Is it done at both ends ?
    In iChat you could offer to Share your Screen with a Buddy without the option being On  (they could not ask to share yours or offer theirs).  I have not tested this in Messages.

  • IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

    Hi,

    I Have tried:

    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • 3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
    With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
    There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
    Miss you Sir Jobs.....

    I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings. 
    I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
    Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
    Hopefully it will work for others too

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id.  Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network , restarting iPad , ...

    The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1.  Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

  • HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

    Good morning to all,
    My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
    It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
    I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
    I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
    Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

    Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.
