Push email does not work (iCloud)

Ok just got back from speaking to an apple person. She said something called springboard is crashing and that controls the push. She said the when I upgraded my iphone4 to the 4s and I restored my data, it was corrupted.

That could be true as my 4 was JB.

She said I need to do a hard reset and setup to use phone as new and not to use a previous restore. She said my calendar and contacts would be fine BUT I would loose all my app game scores. :( I want this to work but I was told once I set my phone as new, I would loose the ability to do a restore from an old backup.

Is anybody having push issues whos phone is from a clean install?

I have never JB any of my iPhones and I am having issues with email not pushing 99.9% of the time.

@phantomsoul The Facebook app doesn't push for me as well.

But did u restore from a previous phone? Or was yours a clean phone and is having issues with push?

I restored from my iPhone 4 (I'm using the 4S now)

Funny thing is the email notifying me of your post actually pushed to my iPhone on its own. First time it's done that in days :/

Maybe mail app was in background? Mine receives pushes as long as I keep the app loaded.

I don't think so I never close the mail app from the multitasking bar. Also I had to go into the mail app to get the email that you had posted again it didn't push this time. I was waiting too hoping that it would push again or even fetch after 15 min on its own. I really hope that apple gets this worked out as I run a small business and most of my customers contact me via email.

Sounds like your issue is a bit worse than mine. But. As I said in a previous post, I can get fetch to work as long as I turn off push. Mind you this is only talking about @me.com account. I believe my gmail push works just fine.

I must have missed that post, I'll have to try setting mine on fetch and see how that works. My gmail doesn't have an option to push its fetch only. My yahoo account and my @me.com account both do not push.

Wait, your gmail doesn't have push or you didn't set it up? I thought all gmail can be set to push. Just set it up as imap. I think there's a tutorial somewhere.

I guess I just didn't set it up for push I didn't know you could do that. Setting it on fetch worked at least for now. I can't believe I didn't see your post for setting it on fetch I thought I read all of the posts whoops :) thanks!

Well, I hope it stays working for you. Fetch that is. :)

When I got my iPhone 4S, I started from scratch. I didn't restore a previous backup. I'm still having problems with mail.app. I don't get new mail pushes, nor does it fetch email as per the settings I setup.

Well it's worked twice in a row now fetching and push never worked twice in a row. Thanks again!

No joy here. iCloud push is not working on my iPad 2 nor my new iPhone 4S on WiFi. 3G seems to work with the iPhone though. Have tried everything possible. One thing I've noticed, my iPhone has been logging lots of errors involving WiFi latency, though it hasn't been an issue with connectivity for me. Feels like an iOS 5 bug.

Peep your iDevice logs here:

Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostic & Usage Data

I am having the same problem - I get my Yahoo email on my i Phone but not iCloud. Even when I push from my device.
