You appear to be assuming that programming is as easy as waving a magic wand and things magically fix. It really, really isn't. Perhaps the bug is complex. Perhaps it's embedded in their codebase in such a way that they're being very cautious in trying to reproduce it and fix it so it doesn't happen again. There's any number of reasons. Algorithmic processing isn't as simple as snapping your fingers and everything's perfect. Perhaps they're tuning performance, or doing a full re-review of the requirements.

Who knows - there's a good number of viable reasons why they might not fix it immediately.

Low Power Mode (LPM) on iPhones is designed to prolong your battery life for as long as possible. This is is achieved by turning off some background services, automatically dimming the screen after a few seconds etc.

Your phone uses battery power by constantly “listening” out for new messages as it will query the message server every few seconds for new messages.

LPM allows your iPhone to save battery life by not listening out for new messages every seconds. If you are on LPM and are expecting an important email, you can manually sync your emails to check.

LPM will also sync your emails just not as frequent as normal mode.

Following can be the bugs in the Gmail web app or in mobile app:

There is no “Mark as Unread” option available in mobile application of Gmail.

The synchronization of Web app and Mobile app of Gmail is really poor. If you will read the email from web and then you will turn on your internet on your mobile, it will show that email as unread in your mobile application.

Enhancement for usability perspective: Size of files allowed in Gmail should be increase. Its really hectic for the users t use the path of google drive to send a file which have size more than 25MB.

End to End encryption should be available in Gmail. If user want to encrypt a message, he should be provided this functionality with a button.

There should be an option to stop an already sent email within the specific period of time or some call back option until the other person didn’t read the email. Currently, available process is just for 30 seconds and its too much lengthy to stop an email

Hope it will help!!!

One bug I tagged had been in the “bug” database for a couple years. Someone improperly had coded a check on the RC of a fork() command. They treated it as a 2 way branch when it was really a 3 way branch.

Another had gone thru a number of “attempts” at repair. All attempts came back as “will continue to monitor”. It turned out it had nothing to do with the code. A network appliance was configured to close, without messages, a socket connection when it had had no activity for 60 minutes. The fix was to send a “heartbeat” messages every 45 minutes. The specifications for the application said all network traffic and to be “local”. Well that had morphed into “over the web” which worked if in test as long as the GUI was kept active.

From the top:

The sad fact is so often that this question has to asked at all. I keep on telling people that technical debt will come back to bite you. You run across, folks, bugs that are entirely preventable early on in development because someone could have asked an end user a dozen questions that would then, once answered, have resulted in sanity checks being added during requirements definition. You run across clients whose needs you met coming to you asking you to handle a problem with software you didn't write that is causing trouble for the business. You had done work for them that someone else had said that it couldn't be done ------ and then you did it on time and within budget. They remembered that and what you had done for them. They don't have source code for that software. Someone had disabled the logs needed for you to figure out what had happened and more importantly why. The code is ten years old and had been maintained by several people who had not documented what they had done. You only have object code and scanty data to work with. You don't know what programming language or languages were used to get the job done originally by the person or persons who wrote that code and those who had maintained it over the years. The program runs on an obsolete computer and the company that originally made it is out of business. The client wants you to pull rabbits out of your hat. You had done something like this before and now hope that you can do it again for them. In this case the only honest answer is that whatever the bug or bugs causing the problem involved can't be fixed.

Realistically speaking you very often don't know how long it will take for you to get the job done when it comes to finding and fixing bugs. The use of quality assurance technologies and doing a proof of correctness on that program's design and implementation can prevent a lot of grief from ever happening. This is one of the things that I advocate for and that often.

Well, what I understood from your question is, you are unable to view few of your mails in your inbox. But I am surprise to note that how do you know this that some of the mails are missing?

Do you mean to say that after checking the mails, some of them disappears?

If so, I do not find any reason to believe this. I never have experienced this. I would rather suggest you to carefully examine the possible mails relating to a particular date giving the date range or moving to next page option available at the top of the home page in inbox. Possibility is there that few of them are not appearing on first page due to limitation in showing an specific number of mails on first page.

Thanks for asking.

If you're not receiving notifications on mobile check the phone settings then go to notifications and make sure gmail is enabled

I'm a reasonably proficient and prolific Gmail user for the last 8 years. I obsessively keep lists of bugs in software.

I simply do not have a list for GMail. I cannot think of one bug, and googling does not return much - plenty of feature / change requests, but no outright bugs. That's pretty impressive for such a full-featured web app.

I am sure there will be some edgecase bugs that gmail devs are concerned about (and tiny customer subsets are affected by), perhaps based on browser compatibility issues.

I keep separate lists of "annoyances", and I have a few for Gmail.

The more I think about this, the more impressive I realise Gmail is!

Everybody who’s been going crazy as far back as they unpacked their iPhone X (me) and stacked up Gmail just to discover the application hasn’t been refreshed for The Notch (correct, me), take heart. The present refresh from Google revives the application with the goal that it takes the full favorable position of each of the 5.8 crawls of your iPhone X show.

On the off chance that that is all that refresh was, I would at present be energized, yet Google additionally snuck in a tremendous component, one that Gmail users have been clamoring for as far back as Google began discharging iOS applications. You would now be able to get to your non-Google mail accounts by means of IMAP!

What’s IMAP? It doesn’t make a difference and you will overlook when I let you know. Do the trick to state, it gives the spine so you can gain admittance to all your mail in one application, as opposed to bopping around amongst Gmail and the (shiver) stock iOS Mail application.

Ref: Updates Google iOS Gmail App For iPhone X, Adds iCloud Support

Google is rolling out a huge new update for its Gmail web app, and one of the most exciting features is the ability to snooze important emails.

To snooze any email from your smartphone, start by launching the Gmail app and opening up the message you want to deal with later. Tap on the menu icon (a row of three dots), and you should see a list of options with Snooze at or near the top. Tap on that. From here, you can pick exactly when you want the email to resurface. Google offers some preset options, but you can also schedule the message to appear at a specific date and time. Once you tap on an option, the email vanishes.

I am talking with Apple iOS expert via chat. He said the same thing as option one. I am asking “Can I customize the GMAIL APP notification sound?” and added by now I would think Google would have programmed it into their app so that tens of thousands can do it. In my case I have deleted the Apple Mail app so there is no confusion and installed the third party app by Google — Gmail app. I have enabled the notifications and I do see notification center lines whenever I get emails. but it is a short tone that I cannot customize. The option for Sounds in the screen is a switch which is either on or off. I do not think the programmers wanted to take the time to program that option (which as a former programmer I think would take all of 1 hour). Really sucks that we cannot somehow light a fire under that team at Google. But it would seem Apple cannot do anything about it since it is a 3rd party app. It might be possible to get iOS to allow 3rd party apps that have NOT been programmed to have certain notification sounds. But that is even more unlikely.
