Email - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No matter which app I use for my mail, gmail or the stock android one, the notifications are just not consistent.
Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't but my phone always tells me I have an email so I know its just the nexus 7 that's being funny.
I have checked settings for syncing and everything is on so does anyone know why?
Thanks.

WiFi connection good? Is your WiFi icon grey or blue?
Sent from my Nexus 7

Sounds stupid but you got push enabled haven't you? I made that mistake, or perhaps try the awake time of the app I once had mine set to push through the night and not be awake during the day

WiFi connection is perfect and I do have things set to push.

Security for app launching?

Anyone know of an app or something that can lock the ability to launch a specific app? For example, I want to have it where just to launch email apps, you need a password. That way if I let a friend use my device they could play around with everything else but not get into my mail. Possible?

Bah...found a flaw. If a new email comes in the notification shows dang near the whole first paragraph of any message including who its from. Any way to disable gmail and stock email client notifications beyond the icon? As in no preview?

Uncheck "email notifications" in Gmail settings.

Nexus S stops syncing on WiFi when screen is off

I can't figure this out and its driving me batty. When my phone is on wifi and the screen is off, it will stop syncing with Google.
I turn my screen on and the wifi signal is grey, then after a moment, it turns blue and I get my Google voice texts, gmail, etc.
Dies anyone have any idea?

Go into Wi-Fi settings/hit menu key/advanced/keep Wi-Fi on during sleep choose always.
Problem solved.

well, i gave it a go and ran with it all day. still no incoming gmail or google voice texts when the screen is off
even when the screen is on, the notifications are very delayed. might it be a router setting..? it does only seem to happen at home..

what ROM/kernel are you running? Did you flash a kernel with updated wifi drivers and flash another (kernel) without reinstalling the ROM?
Otherwise, yes...check your router settings.
I'm sorry that changing out to wifi never sleeps, didn't fix your problem.

The stock Droid 3 ROM has a battery saving "feature" in the settings. Do you have that somewhere?

Make sure to read the changelog of the kernel. Some kernels include updated WiFi/Bluetooth drivers and if you switch kernels you must reflash the ROM to revert the drivers.

Whatsapp issue

Hey guys, sometimes Whatsapp messages show up late. (ive noticed this happens only when screen off)
For example, when I unlock phone, after several minutes I get the Whatsapp notification, I go in, but message shows it was recieved 5-10-15 minutes ago.. Sometimes the clock shows when I want to reply..
No problems with screen on.
Any clue? Sync is on
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
It happens in both, wifi or Mobile data.. So service provider is dismissed..
I think there must be a config

Most of the time this is because the Servers cant handle the amount of messages being send via WhatsApp. So there is nothing you can really do about it.

This never happened with my s2, which I had until Saturday.. that's why I think is something with the N4 config
I noticed this past Saturday problems sending and receiving messages via Whatsapp, on both iPhone and Nexus 4, but not via stock MMS apps. So it appears that there was an issue on Whatsapp side.
I'm noticing the same thing on my nexus 4 and I'm pretty sure it's not caused by traffic load on the whatsapp servers. On my GSII, messages came through straight away when the phone was sleeping.
On my nexus 4, if the screen is off, messages don't come through until I turn the screen on.
It seems to me that Android 4.2 handles wakelocks differently to ensure the device sleeps without interruption. That's great for battery life, but seems to impairing the ability to receive IMs.

Exactly... It's annoying, since whatsapp is not catalogued as a battery drain or similar..

i still experience about 1-2 minutes delay in receiving messages

That's for you to try and see what one best suits your needs.
Or you could keep posting hand holding questions :/

You need wifi on the tablet and service on the phone but they don't have to be on the same network or connected by bluetooth

Couldn't get tablet talk to work properly. Tried dinamotxt and works like a charm between my n7 and n4. Bluetooth is required for setup but then allows you to turn it off which is nice on battery life.
Tablet talk /desksms never gave me any problems weird lol just looked and I use tablet sms haha

Crazy gmail problem

I just got my Nexus 4 and I donated my Gnex to my wife who seems to be getting on well with it. Both phones are synced to the same Play account and both have the exact same email accounts that they sync with.
The problem is that any email sent seems to arrive on the Gnex way before the Nexus 4. Frequently the Gnex will chime and the N4 will do nothing. Even 15 mins later, the N4 will not chime and if you look at the notifications, there's no new email at all. It's only when you launch the gmail app that the new email will show up!
If you reboot the N4, things go back to normal for a while but soon, the N4 starts to not notify. It doesn't do this all the time but for 75% of the emails, it's quiet.
It's driving me crazy because both phones are setup exactly the same but my shiny new N4 is behaving like an ass.
Can anyone shed some light on this stupid behaviour?

The N4 has an issue with delayed notifications on WiFi. A driver issue. Supposedly Google fixed it for the next ota.
