Nokia Lumia and gMail account problems

Hi all 
I have a Lumia 800 and I come from an iPhone.
I've noticed, after a week of use, that the gMail sync is not "a real push".
I've done a lot of test, and the results are not good.
With the iPhone the mail is noticed immediately, with the Lumia 800 could pass a lot of time.. sometimes 15 minutes!!!
I've also tried to set the account as an Exchange type, the results are the same!!
The sync settings are correct: "as item arrives".
Any suggestion?
For Nokia and Microsoft: please try hard to solve this issue!!
I'm really disappointed, besyde the battery problem now the gMail sync problem!

  • My iMac won't Accept My AOL Account and Gmail Account

    For some reason my iMac won't accept new emails from my AOL and Gmail accounts which was weird since it was able to yesterday. I read from one of the post on the Apple community threads that I could delete the accounts on the Account section in Preferences and just reenter them which I tried to do but I can't reenter the AOL account because it's saying it can't "verify" the account/password (And I know that I didn't put down the wrong password) and it'll accept the Google account but it won't accept the Gmail part.
    Now I have a Mail app on my iMac that won't accept my AOL or Gmail accounts and I don't know what to do. So far my iPhone doesn't have a problem with reading emails and I can still look at the emails through the websites but I want to be able to use the Mail app)

    Hi sierra42,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact verification message you are receiving. If it is regarding verification of the outgoing mail server, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    Mail (Yosemite): Verify an account’s outgoing mail server
    On the other hand, if it is regarding your email account user name or password, then this article may be more useful:
    If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password - Apple Support
    If you continue to have issues with your Mail accounts, you may also find these articles of use:
    If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support

    You don’t need to do that. Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to download software to resolve this issue(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

    I add another Hotmail account and Gmail account, aways show that the password in correct.

    got an anti virus that thinks it should scan email. Turn that function off.
    Have a firewall, check that Thunderbird has full internet access, not some Auto rubbish that somehow fails.

  • N900, Nokia Messaging and gmail

    Hey,
    I have an N900, and I ahve set it up to get email with Nokia messaging.
    I don't have a gmail account, but I use gmail for my domain.
    The thing is, that I recieve emails ok - no problems at all.
    And I can send emails, no errors - except that they never arrive....
    Any ideas?
    Henrik

    Got same problem with the syncing Inbox folder @ gmail, other folders sync fine. No errors in sync log.
    Reinstall, remove-add gmail account on messaging website doesn't fix the issue. Google Gmail app works and fetches everything.
    Phone: E71
    App: Nokia Messaging email build: 9.6.0.24
    Maybe this is somehow connected with: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/default-http​s-access-for-gmail.html ?
    Please advice!

  • Issues with Mail and SMTP and Gmail Accounts

    So this isn't a question....more like a solution that I had to figure out. 
    We have multiple gmail accounts in our family and after upgrading to OSC Yosemite our gmail accounts wen't haywire.  My wife was sending emails that eventually were sent from my gmail account (mass neighborhood emails at that.....and all replies came to me instead of her).  I spent about 2 hours investigating and put together several different threads that finally fixed out problem.  The root of the issue is that you can share the same Incoming Mail Server for all of your gmail accounts and your mail will go to the accounts that it is supposed to go to, but you have to have individual Outgoing Mail Servers for each of your accounts otherwise all outgoing mail will come from one account only.  I don't know why this happened, it is a pain in the butt, but here's how I fixed it with 3 gmail accounts running through 1 mac.    
    1st - you need to remove all of your gmail accounts from mail via Internet Accounts in Settings. Just highlight the account and hit the minus sign at the bottom.  You won't lose anything if you have your gmail settings set to default which backs everything up to Google's servers....it will all load back to you mac and it will all be available online at gmail.com
    2nd - you need to add back all of your accounts one at a time (and follow all of the following steps for each account before adding another).  Select the plus sign and choose Google (for gmail accounts only). 
    3rd - Give your gmail account a recognizable name in the "Name" field (if you have multiple Gmail accounts to add, you will want to distinguish between them).
    4th - type in your username ([email protected]) and password.  Make sure to add the suffix @gmail.com. 
    5th - Check the boxes that you want to add to your mac (mail, contacts, calendars, messages, notes). 
    6th - Click the "Details" button to ensure that you have an adequate description (see # 3 above) if you are going to have multiple gmail accounts to add. 
    7th - Open the Mail app.
    8th - From Mail Preferences/Account Information Tab - make sure that you account is Enabled (check box next to "Enable Account", make sure that you have an adequate description name, email address is correct, Incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com, Username is your normal gmail login username (absent any suffix like .gmail.com), password is your gmail password. 
    9th - Then, from Preferences click on the Advanced tab and....Uncheck "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".
    10th - Then, go back to Account Information Tab and.....from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) dropdown box, select Edit SMTP List....
    11th -  You need to create an individual SMTP Server Account for each gmail account that you plan to add.
    12th - To do this click the plus button.  Server Name should always be smtp.gmail.com.  Type in your own Description (I recommend naming it after the gmail account that you plan to attach it to). 
    13th - TLS Certificate should be "None"
    14th - Click the Advanced Tab - From here, uncheck the box for "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".  Then make sure Port is 587 (default is 25 for some ungodly reason).  Check the box for "Use SSL".
    15th - Set authentication to "Password".  User name MUST contain a suffice (i.e [email protected]).  Password is your normal gmail password. 
    16th - Click OK. 
    17th - Now your back at Preferences/Account Information - Link your account to the SMTP server that you just created by using the dropdown box next to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). 
    18th - Save all changes and close out of Mail App. 
    19th - Restart Mail and recheck steps 8-15....for some reason my passwords kept getting erased, but they eventually saved and took. 
    20th - Add another gmail account by following these steps and then recheck all along the way for passwords, suffixes, everything.  You will want to make sure that your accounts are all properly linked to their respective Outgoing Mail Servers (hence the distinct naming descriptions).   
    21st - Once you have added multiple accounts send email between them to make sure that they are being sent from and received to the correct accounts. 

    Wow! Oh my goodness Patrick, thank you so much man. That's a ton of informatiion to take the time to write out step by step and share with strangers.  I really, really am grateful to you.  I've been dealing with this for a month, half the month I kept changing my passwords and kept assuming I was making some mistake.  It used to work fine.  About a week ago I started looking for a solution and couldn't find one that worked. 
    You have changed that sir!  I'm good to go, stress level will lower when I am on my Mac, and I'm so glad to not have all these messages popping back up that I was done with! 
    Muchos Gracias Amigo!  Owe you one...

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 - Screen Brightness Problem

    I  have two Nokia Lumia 1520.
    Both of them have the same problem. I will explain the problem to you in detail and before that let me assure you I am a Windows Phone long time user , have been part of the development , developed several apps for the platform and I have used Lumia 800 , 720 , 920 , 925 and now 1520. So I am well aware of all the settings , sunlight readability , automatic brightness etc. This problem is not due to any of these , I can assure you
    Now the problem , 
    I set the automatic brightness option OFF
    I move the brightness to HIGH
    Then I lock the phone
    When I unlock the phone , the brightness drops by 10% suddenly without any intervention
    This problem happens sometime. Some days I see this problem , some days I don't and there are few days where I see this problem very heavily.
    I purchased another 1520 and it has the same problem. I am very sure , from my experience that this is a firm ware issue. This is NOT a hardware problem , but a serious problem from your software end. It is prudent that Nokia recognizes this problem and finds a solution to this. Interestingly , I am not the only one who is facing this problem , the whole globe is facing the same problem and for such a pricey phone , this is a frustrating experience - very frustrating. I am sending some links , which will show the problems users are facing:

    The phone is rock solid and amazing except this irritating problem. 
    I have only few days within which I can request a exchange from the merchant. So if any Nokia official can confirm that a software fix is on the way , it would be super helpful 
    Nokia , please help !

    I have Nokia Lumia 1520 Black.
    I have also been facing the same problem with screen brightness.
    The problem occurs only when the Brightness is in Automatic mode.
    --> When the Brightness is set to Automatic mode & take out from dark location to bright location the display turns out to weird grey color.
    --> And then if the brightness is set to low, medium or high display comes to normal.
    Is this issue related to the hardware or software.
    If it is related to the Software will you be able to fix it ? or else How about the replacing with the new one ?
    Awaiting for the response.

  • Nokia lumia 520 push notification problem with wha...

    I have a Lumia 520, and i find that i do not receive push notifications for my whatsapp messages. I have to open the application before the messages come through. I would like to know how to correct this. I have checked all my settings.

    On a HTC-forum I saw the next solution, and it works also for Nokia Lumia!  That means it is a Microsoft Issue!
    1) Unpin Windows store from start
    2) ERASE Internet Explorer History
    3) ADD new language to the keyboard (Settings-->keyboard-->add keyboards
        (CHOOSE A LANGUAGE THAT REQUIRE DOWNLOAD)
    4) When downloading is finished, it will ask to restart and install
    5) After installation and restart do the following;
         A) UNINSTALL WHATSAPP
         B) REINSTALL WHATSAPP (you can get conversation history back when asked, so no problem)
    After this the push function works, but there is still a delay up to 10 minutes! So when you test, be patient.
    NO BETTER PRESSURE MEDIUM THAN ANTI ADVERTISING SO AFTER THIS EXPEDITION PLEASE CHANGE YOUR STATUS TEXT TO:
    USING WINDOWS; THAT MEANS DELAY UP TO 10 MINUTES
    When all Window Phone users display that message, Microsoft has to come with a final solution! 
    Please spread the word

  • Mail app hangs on ios5 and gmail account

    The Mail app hangs several times per day. I have one gmail account. The diag. files says something like "com.apple.mobilemail failed to resume in time" or "Power assertion timeout for MailPendingChanges"

    This connectivity issue between my Apple Mail through CLEAR as ISP to Godaddy's pop.secureserver.net is just getting weirder. Now my 9 boxes spin out (when upload is testing at .07 mbps and also at .54 mbps) but partner's 4 emails on iMac using same settings through same network is fine...was glitched a while ago too though. Then partner's emails all do same thing, and hers and my Gmail accounts check fine. SO, Helllloooo Godaddy, if Gmail checks fine but your pop.secureserver.net does not, maybe it IS a problem on your end? Of course, getting Godaddy to ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM would be a miracle.
    Still zero reply or help from either Godaddy or Clear, no resolution from either, still pitching blame at each other.

  • Nokia Lumia 735- supplied charger problem

    Hello 
    Got my nokia lumia 735 for about 2 weeks now and since a couple of days I have problems with the supplied charger. (never occured before)
    When I plug in the charger into the lumia, the charging symbol is shown. However, it charges for 20% in a whole night, if I am lucky. If I use a usb cable and connect it with a pc, it charges quite fast. 
    Is my charger defective? Am I doing things wrong? 
    Regards!

    Hi, dbthi. Are you still having issues charging your phone? Have you tried coordinating with your point of purchase for possible replacement as suggested by 93tid? Let us know if you still need assstance. 
    We'll wait for your response. BTW, welcome to our Microsoft Mobile Community.
