I've noticed this AM that Gmail seems to arrive instantly while I was connected to wifi. I have mine set to fetch at 1 hr, with push turned for exchange. Also noticed Gmail arriving on its own while on EDGE here at work about five mins or so after receiving it in my inbox here on my pc, I'm not manually fetching, it's but fairly consistently I am getting the mail notification sound, I turn the screen on and bam, new gmail. Something is going on, anyone else expierincing this today?
Got a tip for us?

I have been doing it all morning, like I said I'm set to fetch on an hourly basis, and I'm not even touching the phone. I sent messages from both my work and Yahoo account on my desktop at 9:16, 9:24, 9:41, 9:43, 10:12 and 10:44 am and they all came in to my iphone with the audio alert sound within less than 5 mins. Like I said I noticed it this AM early as I kept getting email alerts, I would assume they were from my exchange account, but would have nothing there, and low and behold they were coming for my GMAIL. Belive me it's noticable to receive email more often when your are used to it only coming in every hr or so.
i have been doing the same thing - sent about 4 messages, and received all within minutes...i have it set to check messages every 30 mins...
I use manual also and sent an email to myself to test it out, hopefully it works
update: it's been 8 minutes and nothing, i use default IMAP settings
update: 15 min and nothing, turned on fetch every hour, we'll see if that does anything
Using manual retrieve, I'm getting 'push' Gmail as well (seems like less than a minute to me). juice831, check to see if you have IMAP enabled within Gmail. Now if we could only get a unified Inbox!
I have IMAP enabled on the gmail settings and I still didn't get the e-mail until i opened the application. I'll try it again
update: when I e-mail myself from my mail client it doesn't push but when I mail myself from the gmail page it does. I also had my brother e-mail me from his phone and it pushed as well!

I am exiting to the homescreen, and waiting for the email icon to indicate new messages and receiving the audio notification. the only recent change that I have done to my gmail is disable POP. I had IMAP enabled ever since I had the original iPhone, and of course the new 3G which a got on launch day. Also using the defualt iphone settings for Gmail.
You should sleep it so the screen is off and make sure it is unplugged from any power source. In this situation I have not been getting notification for my emails at all since the 2.1 update thanks to Apple's new battery saving 'features'.
I am exiting the application, returning to the home screen, then turning off the display and I am getting the notifications
I get e-mail notifications when my phone is on sleep and unplugged. My only problem is that the e-mail doesn't push when in manual fetch mode
I notice that the OP has an Exchange account. I do also and it appears that the Gmail seems to be 'pushed' when the Exchange account pushes something.
yes, I have also noticed that Gmail is sometimes "pushed" or "fetched" whenever I receive a push notification for exchange. Although this morning it seemed to update my gmail inbox even when I wasn't receiving new email. However the last couple of hours, since about 12 noon it seems to have returned to normal, meaning only fetching every hr or so. I wonder if Gmail was testing something new this AM.
That's been my experience exactly. Hopefully this was testing and we'll see official push soon! Although another poster mentioned that they've had this behavior for the last 6 months?
