My Gmail Accounts are PUSHING in 3.0

CrzyCanuck72 said:
Yeah, do you mean that there is an option for gmail to push, or just that email is arriving in a push-like manner... ie. before the scheduled fetch time. 'Cause mine does that now on 2.2... gmail arrives at unpredictable times, usually right when it is picked up by my desktop mail client (which is before the 15 minute fetch interval it's supposed to be going by)

This is also the case for me. Gmail is Pushing and it does not have to do with 3.0. This worked on my 3G iPhone with 2.2.1. I tested by putting Gmail into Fetch mode every 1 hours. Each time someone replied to a MR thread that I was subscribed to, it updated to my email account and within seconds to my iPhone with a notification tone of new email.

I have also tested this on my Classic in fetch mode hourly with 2.2.1 and each email is arriving within seconds of the email account.

This is a Google thing, not Apple and I love it!!!

I just tested this myself and it works!! (I'm also using 2.2.1)

This makes me so happy...moving from a BlackBerry Curve, push gmail was the one thing I missed the most, so happy now...

Edit: Never mind. Just tested again, and it's not pushing.
 
One of my twitter followers told me that Gmail is also pushing for them on 2.2.1, interesting?

I've tested through out the day here on 3.0, so far so good.

iPhone 3.0 Beta OS - No Gmail push. :confused::(:(

Make sure that your gmail is set up IAW the instructions here. It is very important that you build using other and not Gmail.

Then on your iPhone under "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calender", "Fetch"
that "Push" is off and Fetch is set for your minute/hourly selection.

Then scroll down to "Advanced" and insure that it set up Fetch under your schedule.

Those are "MY" settings that make it work on "MY" iPhone. Others users may have different settings.
 
wait so what settings do you have enabled on 3.0 to get this to work, mine isnt pushing...

Mine is set up that way and definitely does not push (2G iphone, 2.2.1).
 
I am wondering if this is a account by account update like they did the last time they had a major change. Not sure if you all remember but when they changed to allow IMAP it did not happen all at once but gradually across the country. No one could ever figure out how they did it but this situation takes me back to that time.
 
I think this is just people imagining that "push" is happening. The only true push for the iPhone is from Yahoo and MobileMe. The MobileMe push is finally amazing. Yahoo is meh. But Gmail, I can guarantee, is not pushing.

I am sorry but it is NOT my imagination. I know what push is and understand what WAS the norm and happening. Google has been doing a lot of changes lately and this MAY be one of them.

I can say that I am getting email alerts at various times throughout the day as emails arrive to my account. I am set on Fetch every hour and it is updating randomly...This is NOT my imagination and others are confirming. So don't think you know what we are seeing or experiencing. Please give us the benefit of the doubt before you start being a know it all. Thank You!
 
Have to say im having issues with the beta anyway.

Fetch for normal accounts is unreliable. An email at 4pm only came through when i opened mail at 7pm (15min fetch interval).

Just setup a Y! mail account and that isnt pushing either.

Hmm....
 
Yeah I notice that gmail doesn't push unless I'm using the phone, which I prefer (so new mail notifications don't wake me up at night). So I can unlock the phone and check the weather and it'll also fetch my gmail.

Might be using iMAP idle to push.

Also, Yahoo and MobileMe are the only "true push." What about ActiveSync using Exchange Server accounts, Kerio Mail, etc. Plus, with those you can use your own domain name. You can't use your own domain name with MobileMe or with Yahoo (to my knowledge) AND, unlike Yahoo, an Exchange or KerioMailserver account syncs contacts and calendars also.

To those saying Gmail now syncs, does it also sync instantly (or at all) with contacts and calendars.

I have a hosted keriomailserver account with my own domain name which works great. Everything pushes and syncs and it costs about $6 per month.

No on the contacts and calenders currently.

Ah, yes, I forgot about Exchange because I can't use ActiveSync with my Exchange account so I try to forget it exists.

But whatever changes Google makes may not make a difference unless Apple opens up the access to things like IMAP idle. If they had done so it would've been announced and there would be an option to turn it off.

You don't even have an iPhone 3g. Maybe you should just guarantee it isn't working on your own phone.

i can guarentee that mine IS pushing, my dad's is pushing as well, and several others here have push gmail. I know what push email looks like and how it works, i've tested it against my dads "old" storm, and if the storm is pushing, which it is, then either the iPhone is pushing as well or the fetch is somehow at 2 seconds.

EDIT: I believe push is where, when you make a change on one device - the change is pushed to every other device it is on.

Sorry, no. That's what IMAP does and it happens with Gmail now. Gmail does not push mail to the device (at least for release versions of iPhone firmware/)
 
I have mine set up too and I'm on 2.2.1 and mines not pushing either... Not sure if it's working yet, but could be working for some people...

Yeah except for that whole 3.0 vs. 2.2.1 problem. Nobody said it was pushing on 2.2.1.

Did you set up your gmail account through the phone or did you just sync it with your computer?
