Gmail sync works only on Wi-Fi

sostarob — Sat, 07 May 2016 21:14:24 GMT

Emails from my Gmail accounts will not come in during regular mobile Internet connection. Any browsers work though, so there is nothing wrong with the Internet connection. As soon as I enable wi-fi all emails will pop in. I cannot find this issue on any forum. I am wondering what I have missed. I have this phone for a year now and I thought I know it enough to fix it, but I failed. I am wondering if the recent Android 6 upgrade has anything to do with it.

@sostarob

Do you have an antivirus or stamina mode or any battery app installed/active?

The problem is gone, and I did not do anything, besides trying to figure it out. The bottom line is that I cannot reproduce it. The issue existed while I was travelling, so I am not sure it was an issue with Vodafone and a port issue.

I am not sure what happened, but the problem went away as soon as I got home from the weekend trip.

Answering your question, I do not have an antivirus software, the phone wasn't in stamina mode as it was charged, and I do not have a battery app.

I do have ES File Explorer, and it has a power optimizer menu, but it wasn't changed. I tried it right after reading your comments, but when I disable something in ES File Explorer it is screaming all over with messages that I have auto-sync disabled for example. It displays that above your emails, which is very hard to miss.

Once again. The problem is gone, and I do not know what was going on. Maybe I missed something, but it would be nice to know what that is, or why it happened.

I am an electrical engineer with very good problem solving and programing skills, and this is my 4th android phone since the very first day T-Mobile released the G1 in the US witht the slide out keyboard.

I never had to use a forum until now.

Thanks anyway.
