iPhone: Googles reply to why Gmail push sync not working
Posted by: Phat^Trance in Other Apple News, iPhone News, iPhone apps
Having problems with your Gmail push lately? This problem started for me 4 days ago and im still having problems with emails being pushed to my iPhone a few hours after they have been sent. Here’s what Google replied regarding their push service not working
As many of you have noticed, Google Sync is having some difficulties due to an extended problem with one of our datacenters. This has been going on over the weekend, but it’s got significantly worse today, so I’m just letting everyone know what’s happening.
None of your information has been lost, and you will still be able to get your data through Sync, but you will find that Push isn’t working very well. This is because we’re batching up fetch requests to be able to cope with the traffic we’re seeing while this problem is ongoing. As soon as we’ve got the problem fixed, push should seamlessly start working properly again.
We’re working flat out to get this fixed, but unfortunately we don’t have an ETA at the moment. We’re doing everything we can to improve the situation in the meantime, and I’ll post here again when I have more news.
Finally, I want to apologise to everyone – we’re feeling your pain too, and we will get this sorted out as soon as we can.

Update:
I should add that this is affecting Google Sync for iPhone, Windows Mobile and S60 – if you’re using another way to sync with Google (the BlackBerry sync application, Android sync and so on) you should be unaffected by this problem.
[Thx bleepjay]
It’s Mr Steve Jobs bending google over and injecting his hot steamy cancer riddin cock right in google asshole!

Is this problem also affecting premium gmail domain accounts?
its affecting all gmail domains (only on the iphone)
thanks Phat^Trance, seems to have been a constant problem since last year, I have tried NuevaSync (no affiliation) which seems to do the job well, but its a paid service.
the push service for the iphone seems to be up and running now since a few hours back! YEY!
Still Seems unreliable for us, it may need some time to settle down gain.
hey guys. it seems like they fixed push just now. I didn’t change anything and now emails are flying to my device
hope it works for all of you as well
My gmail push on iPhone 3g has been highly unreliable for a long time. I keep my imap account and it shows me all emails where push generally only shows some if any. I wish google would actually fix this problem!
