gmail not synching while phone is in stand by

I have that weird problem where the gmail is not synching when the phone is standing by. I have to enter the home screen for the phone to restart synching again. Is this a normal? I want to know when I receive email eventhough I'm not using the phone. Btw i only use wifi and my calender/contact are off-sync.

Same here. I have to get out of stand-by mode to get the phone to sync again, but then I restarted the phone after I changed the settings to check for mail every 30 minutes and it vibrated when in stand-by mode.

Im guessing this has to do with RC30? To help with battery life. The phone is not constantly synching

No, it most definitely should not be like that. Are you 100% sure that you are not getting notifications when the phone is in standby? Never??? Mine works pretty much flawlessly every time, and pretty much every notification I receive is when the phone is in standby. And I have RC30 also.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my phone. Gmail, email app, greader, several other data connection dependant apps. As soon as the phone leaves standby all my items sync. I also have rc30. Does anyone have a solution?

I'm going to revive this old thread by saying that my phone hasn't synced since yesterday, and what I can think of is that at the time it says it last synced, I was out of g3 and almost out of service entirely. Now I'm back with 3g and plenty of bars and the phone refuses to sync.

Perhaps going in and out of service areas has something to do with it. Maybe the phone thinks it can't sync then doesn't know when it can again?

UPDATE: I got it synced by turning off the phone, pulling out the SIM card, turning it back on with no SIM card, then reinstalling the SIM card. Power cycling the phone alone didn't seem to do it, but booting it without a SIM card once seems to have solved the problem.

Google, fix this stuff.
