ios 8 Push Email Delays

I have noticed I don't get email now till I click the mail icon then they come flooding through.

push nail used to work fine before update

Came looking to see if I was the only one. Guess not.

iOS 8.0.2, push email only updates when I open app.

Can't say I'm pleased...

iPhone 6 Plus.

iPhone 6 Plus user here as well and noticed the same issue this morning with Push in the Mail app.

hope this can be fixed sooner rather than later.

Same issue here. Don't know what's going on. My notifications and mail settings are fine. It looks like there are number of similar threads too. Let's hope Apple gets on the ball with a fix.

I Have same issue. Just received (8.48am) email sent yesterday at 13.33pm.

Same issue ... Never get any emails untill i open the mail app... Iphone 6+ .... Also having major orentation issues ... Phone unlocks and screen is upside down... 😠

same issue here! Deleting and setting up the exchange account again, let the push functionality work for several hours. after that, I have to open the mail

app to get the new mails......really big **** and very disappointing!

I'm starting to get reports of this as well. I work for a large company and I'm the one people are looking to for answers on this so any information would be very helpful.

Got the same problem here, but it’s more than just push email. Immediately after applying the 8.0.2 IOS update, push email stopped. Don’t get anything immediately any longer. Emails on my work Exchange account are taking an hour or more to reach me. My office hasn’t touched the Exchange server configuration in months, and there’s been no change in how my Blackberry has been receiving emails on the same account (Blackberry is running that same account on BIS, so same 15 mins or less schedule applies to that device). Wasn’t sure if that was happening with the 8.0 update, but push email is definitely badly broken with 8.0.2.

But the problem is not limited to push. All of my POP3 and IMAP4 email is also delayed an hour or more. No settings have changed, I still have my POP3 and IMAP4 accounts set to 15 minute polling. iPhone is not polling. POP3 and IMAP4 are also badly broken.

And there’s one more symptom. Since applying IOS 8.0.2, battery life has dramatically improved. That’s a symptom of a very bad thing. Any time I’m home, I manually turn off carrier data, since I caught Verizon billing me for data usage that should have been passed for free on my home Wi-Fi system. Very often now when I wake up the device with Safari active and try to load a web page, Safari alerts that it needs carrier data and stops. That’s because there’s no Wi-Fi signal (icons confirm). There’s no Wi-Fi because apparently IOS 8.0.2 is turning off Wi-Fi, which shuts down all internet connected apps. Push email can’t work if there’s no data service active. Wow, isn’t that clever.

But there’s one more bad side-effect this “power save” nonsense will have on cell customer’s accounts. If there’s no Wi-Fi active on this device when you’re within range but the device just woke up, but you haven’t turned off cell carrier data, guess which system will be billing you more for data when you thought your home Wi-Fi was taking care of business.

I am having this issue as well. I have restored the phone, reset network connections, and deleted and added the account again. It may work for a while, but ends up failing after a while. Large company, only two reports thus far. However, I am in IT and it is critical that mail works correctly.

Had the same problem: iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1 and push notifications stopped working for my Google Apps account setup as an Exchange account. I resolved my problem by going to Settings -> Notifications -> Mail -> turn off Allow Notifications | closed Settings | went back to Settings and turned on Allow Notifications and push alerts started to work again.

same issue here and do what you said, push notification is back, thank you, you save my job, I almost lost my job because of delay to reply mails

Same problem here with iphone 6plus and ios 8.1.2.

My google apps exchange account pushes emails only occasionally. When it does not work I have to go manually to the mail app to fetch the emails. The delay can be anything from 5 minutes to 2 days. This is totally unacceptable, I missed really important e-mails, you have to fix this as soon as possible.

fixes tried and failed:

-remove and re-add the affected account

-disable and re-enable the notifications for the mail app

-system restore

First, you're not addressing Apple ... we're just users like you. Apple rarely participates here, this is a user-to-user forum for technical support.

Second, if you are a paying Google Apps customer then it should be working correctly if you've set your Gmail account up using the Exchange profile in iOS. Did you set up Gmail using the Gmail profile, or Exchange?

But if you're using a free Gmail account, using an Exchange setup (i.e. push) no longer works since Google removed its support of the "Google Sync" protocol for such users 2 years ago.
