    Hi Guys

    With my desire hd - I love everything about it.

    However, the Gmail app is giving me a pain. It seems to sync emails whenever it wants. On a good day it will sync emails usually 10 - 15minutes after I get it in my inbox. Then for example last night, i just pressed refresh and their was 4 emails.

    With the standard mail app, emails come in straight away.

    Anyone else have this isssue, or does anyone actually prefer the standard mail app over the gmail app.

    I've the Desire. Currently running CyanogenMod 7RC3, but have had many firmwares no it over the last year.
    No matter what firmware, I've been used to the gmail app on the phone alerting me to new mail a few seconds before it shows up in the actual gmail browser view.

    No problems on mine either I get emails straight away.

    Check settings and make sure you have auto sync turned on and there's also a sync button on the power widget.

    I never bother with the normal mail app, only thing it adds is copy and paste function.

    The gmail apps on my Desire connected via 3g and my Galaxy tab connected via wifi tend to both beep at me for new email coming in within a second of each other. Generally takes a bit longer before the new message appears in the desktop browser version.

    This happens to me too, but I always assumed it was an issue with Meteor 3G, because when I got a HTC Magic, and asked customer care about Gmail and Twitter, the connection didn't support it, so even though it has since been fixed; every time there is a problem with connections I just put it down to Meteor.

    I don't know if that's the actual reason though, it could be just me..

    What network are you on as a matter of interest?

    Meteor. Have been for years.
    Something not being "supported" often means they're not going to give you support on that feature, not that it's not technically supported by the network.
