Weird! I have 2 Arias at the moment, 1 running Sense, and one running CM6.1, both have not received an email notification and have not synced since last night!

mine was.
i found somewhere last night after a lot of googling, to go into SETUP - APPLICATIONS - GMAIL and "clear cache".
it'll just basically wipe out all the email gmail has downloaded and cached on the phone causing it to redownload the same email off the gmail servers. nothing will be lost.
gonna see how it fairs today.

Did mine last night. Rebooted this morning after leaving it on the charger overnight. It's been back to normal for me.
Must be random. I know they had server issues back on the 11th according to their app statuses on Google's site

Try this
Go to settings>Accounts & Sync>Google>toggle Sync Gmail off and on
Then you should be able to sync.

.
And it happens both in 3G and WiFi?

Yeah, its really bizarre... so, I am able to sync a second gmail account, and it works fine! Just not my primary. Spoke with ATT & HTC, now I guess its Google's turn! LOL

Google won't sync for me
I've tried all of above suggestions, to no avail. When I press gmail, I get a screen that says "waiting for sync" and then "Your email will appear shortly." Nothing ever happens, and it's been over a week.
I thought about deleting the account and recreating, but it won't let me delete it.

[Q] Primary gmail account syncing problems

I have not made any changes to the settings but all of a sudden my phone is not consistently syncing with my gmail account. It only syncs every once in a while and it does not sync all the unread emails.
I have tried a reboot by taking the battery out.
Can anyone think of anything else I can do? Thanks in advance for the help.

Have you checked your Account Sync settings (Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync) yet? Any errors? Sometimes you'll see a red splat letting you know an account can't currently sync. Usually, this is just a temporary issue.
I'll wait to speculate anything else until you can post more info about what you're seeing in your Accounts & Sync settings.

No errors. No ideas.

Man, we're going to need some more info. Did it ever work? What does "once in a while" mean? There's no such thing as random...

It's worked for the last 4 weeks perfectly. My phone was getting gmail faster then the gmail app on my laptop.
Yesterday I received 25 gmails but it only synced one of them. Hmm, I wonder if it could be the new gmail "priority" email thing since the one email that did sync was a friend and the others may have been ads. But I don't see a setting for that.

Yeah, I'd look into that whole Priority Inbox thing. I'm not using that at all because I just don't need it - and I run my own business and still don't need it. It sounds like something "superficial" is at play here. If you weren't syncing you'd truly just not be syncing - or would have errors in the Accounts & Sync area.
As far as I can tell, the whole Priority Inbox thing is managed server-side - i.e. I don't see an option for it within the Android app. Considering no one else is having a similar issue (and those who are using Priority Inbox know what to expect, so they aren't seeing an "issue" on their phone), I would suspect a setting/configuration/option as the problem; and not an actual problem with syncing.
Keep us all posted though! What users expect from software and what software actually does, are two different things...

Thanks for the help. I don't think I did anything to resolve the problem. It just started working again. Maybe it was a gmail thing.
Thanks again.

I've noticed similar behavior once in a while.. i found that unchecking and rechecking the mail sync checkbox in sync settings will temporarily resolve it.. and it doesn't happen very often.
I've always thought it maybe had to do with me toggling the gsm only/wcdma gsm auto settings as I go to and from my house and/or the combination of manually turning mobile data on and off (all battery management exercises) so I just leave mobile data on now (still have always on data off.. this was going to be my next thing I tried if it kept up) and it seems to happen less often but still once in a blue moon it'll hang..
I also use priority inbox but haven't had any other evidence that led me to believe that this was the culprit.

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

it works very well on my phone..

Have you tried deleting your Google account from the Sync menu, rebooting, re-adding it ?
Or full-wipe ?

Are u facing it after an update to Gingerbread?

No I have not gingerbread and i will try to erase the account and re-add it... do i have to do a complete reboot or fast reboot?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I would go with normal reboot (ref : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot), I don't think fastboot has to do with that - but I'm no expert, I could be wrong. Plus I didn't said this would undoubtedly fix your issue, but it's worth trying.

Deleting the account doesn't work. I can't delete it unless I go to factory settings...and that ain't worth it.

As a test I borrowed an iphone 4 off a colleague...setup his gmail using activesync m.google.com and guess what....He also gets authentication error. Syncs ok and then stops working. Works then stops working randomly.
I strongly believe this an issue with gmail side. But googling around I can't anything on other websites/forums about it.

In CM7 if you try too setup yahoo mail it gets (user name/password incorrect) but gingersence is fine. w i e r d

Unwanted sync
I have the opposite problem, and would appreciate some help.
I have Gingergread (Alien) on my Atrix 4g and when I set up my tree gmail accunts (one carries contacts, calendar and mail), the other two just mail.
When I did the set up , I had the chance to select which service does each account provide (of the three).
Now I just went and checked and the THREE accounts are doing sync for the three services.
Why could this happened, A gingerbread problem, an Alien Rom problem on wth,
I have deleted the accounts, except for the one linked to the phone account (which I cannot delete) and when I set them up again, I have no chance to select what type of sync I want,,, the three services are being synced for the three accounts.
Any idea?

Mail App not working with Gmail after Gingerbread update

Hi Guys,
I updated to Gingerbread a couple of weeks ago and the Mail stock app (Not the Gmail app) does not get the new emails from my Gmail account.
I does not have problems with other email providers, only Gmail.
I deleted the account, created a new one and get a few messages initially, but after that initial sync it desn't download any new email. If I sync manually doesn't work either.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Did you do a hard reset after upgrading with Gingerbread?
If not - do it.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

reinstalling the app usually fix's this kind of error. if it is a stock app go to market and find the app and look for updates.

As the previous 2 people said, all i'd suggest is reinstalling the app, making sure it's up to date or even just setting up your account again (in the app)

I found it was caused by gmail app being setup for the email address aswell as the HTC mail app. They seemed to be conflicting with each other when syncing. Disable the gmail app and see if that helps.

Thanks kujoswrath, that sorted it out

calendar wont sync

Hi, I tried searching for something like this on xda and I couldn't find anything. On my galaxy s2 the calendar app just doesn't sync with my Google mail account. I go into calendar it asks me to go to he Google account sync setting to sync calendar, even though the tick box for sync calender is checked, I click sync now anyway. After it has finished I go back to the calendar app, and it asks me to do the the same thing again. My contacts and even wallpaper form my old phone were synced propyl from my Google account but not my calendar. I just can't seem to find any reason why it isn't working. I've never had any problems like this before on my old rooted htc desire, where was flashing new roms weekly, so why on my galaxy s2. Would someone be able to help me please?

Just wanted to say I have the same problem, hopefully someone can help us.

I think it might be the Samsung social hub, together with the inability if kies to sync with google, and an assumption that you might want to use kies (or a lack of testing with the google calendar)
Try removing your social hub facebook account, and maybe deleting all the calendar data on the phone (under settings/applications/calander) so long as you are confident you have nothing stored locally without a backup.
I find the social hub facebook integration useless at the moment, since it doesn't hide declined invitations for me, so I'm going back to trying the google integration (which means i get birthdays spamming my calendar instead)

I have never used the Social Hub or Kies or even set any calender events on the phone itself but just clearing the calender data did fix the problem, and my Google calender events started syncing.
Thanks

Hi, i had the same issue and i am using a uk generic rom unrooted. problem seems to have corrected itself now. Wat seemed to cure it for me was to sync over my mobile network instead of wifi.
