GPush (Push for Gmail) is out!

[Small White Car]

I never mentioned the word FETCH anywhere. Yes, Push is not as battery draining as FETCH. FETCH is the worst of the worst.

Did you type all those posts just to be funny? Or was it just a huge mistake?

It was obvious that Compile 'em all was talking about fetch. Then, after you make 2 posts explaining how wrong he is, you act all surprised when he mentions fetch as if it never occurred to you that that's what he was talking about. And after admitting you didn't understand his initial post, you call other people confused.

I'm sorry to harp on this, but I get annoyed when someone calls someone wrong, then admits they didn't understand the original argument, then acts like that's the other person's fault. Compile doesn't deserve that.

Push saves battery?

Since when?

Push NOTIFICATIONS might, but Push Email is a batter HOG on this phone.

They are two separate things often confused on this forum.

I think it may save the battery compared to when your email checks automatically (i.e. every 5 minutes, etc).

So if it just let you know you have an email in your mailbox, then its just like getting a text. I dunno, just thought I'd throw my .02 in.

Yay it arrives (but alas, not in the UK)

How hard would it be to get a custom web browser pointed to your gmail.com when you open the app? Hmm

It is (or was) out in the UK as I got it. But it has been removed for now as they have issues with the server apparently.

No, I didn't

Really? Maybe it was obvious to you.

But saying "Push Email saves Battery" in a thread about GPush (which is not the same thing as push email), but Push Notifications, does not make it sound like he was talking about FETCH at all..

I honestly thought he was talking about Push Email saving battery over Push Notifications, hence the rest of my posts stating that I pretty much know that is false.

And I get annoyed when someone else gets annoyed because we all aren't mind readers when someone goes slightly off topic and are just supposed to read tea leaves to determine they are talking about something else.

Probably because it doesn't work. After numerous tries I get the following error: Could not communicate with server. Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1004 UserInfo=xxxxxx can't connect to host. You may not receive GMail push notifications.

This was a total rip off!

Hey, I know, calm down and give it a day or two. They got approved on a weekend and imagine the number of people wanting in, and the traffic resulting from use of the app.

 

[kate-willbury]

basically this is a garbage app. just use pushmail.

their twitter claims they 'werent ready' for the launch despite being in approval queue for over a month. supposedly it was going to be fixed within 24 hours and now its going to be 'a few days'. sounds like mobilechat all over again.

It seems like you were really the only one confused bud.

So thus only works for one gmail account huh? I have two that I use. So the other one have to remain in fetch mode.

Pushmail is supposed to work for more than one account.

Ah.

I know.

Everyone else was able to read his mind and know he was talking about FETCH, which he never mentioned in his original post.

Fine.

Here is his original post:

Agreed. I have 3 gmail accounts and all of them are of equal importance.

I really am wondering if Mail will ever get native push gmail. I mean it would be good for Apple because push does save a lot of battery.

In a thread about GPush. Yet, I am confused and EVERY one else just KNEW he was talking about as compared to Fetch?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

At any rate, I apologize if I offended Compile'em as that wasn't my intention.

Now, back on topic, which has very little to do with Fetch anyway in my opinion, and that is the GPush App.

GPush will use less battery than Push Email. That is my take, that is what I meant, and I stick by it.

Push notifications and Push email use the same socket connection. Having 1 of them enabled vs 2 is exactly the same battery drain. Therefore there is no benefit to this program other than having emails pop up on your screen directly from a gmail ping.

Sorry, but I disagree strongly with this statement.

When I had PUSH Email turned on with Mobile Me, my battery drained fast.

Right now, I have the AP app with push enabled all the time.

My battery isn't draining nearly as fast.

I honestly don't think they are the same or work the same way.

 

[GeneralP]

personally sounds like the creators were ill prepaired for this release. "Server issues" just means poor planning. . . sounds like fraud by failure to deliver a service after payment has been made.

 

[Khryz]

I'm confused -- isn't there a Mail App that comes with every iPhone?

Is the reason for this because people want instant push instead of the 15 minutes?

A mail app that hardly informs you that you have email, other than a really quiet sound? That one? Jailbreaking is ideal with the notify program, but this app has a purpose I guess.

And push email and push notifications run on the same connection to Apple. If it didnt, all of your apps would open a new socket with multiple servers and 10 times the battery drain.

Push email - Push notifications = the same service.

Yes.

This app is to try and make your iPhone as close to a blackberry as possible when it comes to email notification speed.

 

[Khryz]

Yes.

Okay so question -- why does the iPhone's default Mail app only push at 15 minutes the minimum .. why not instantly? I always wondered that.

sigh...the 15 minute thing is NOT push. its just manually fetching email at every interval. did you not read any of this thread at all???

thats fetch, it just checks in every 15 minutes and download the emails, if there is any

I've given up on waiting for this app. I've put in my $5 towards PushMail.

If they're having this much trouble at launch, I'm not ready to believe that it won't happen again.

 

[vega07]

pushmail is much more reliable and secure. plus you can use it for all of your email accounts. it's a no brainer (besides the price of course)....

Thank you for the input, if that's what you choose to use, then do so, but those of us using GPush or waiting for it, with all due respect, don't really care.

Thanks though

I suppose that every app that pushes has to be sold with a yearly fee (in-app purchase?) to allow developers pay the servers that are needed.

Not sure what you mean.

But there is no yearly fee for the AP app or BeeJive, and both have Push Notifications enabled.
