Hi,
Please can can anyone help me?
2 weeks ago my Galaxy S3 stoped notifing me when I get an email or ebay sale/question when I am away from wifi.
When I have a wifi connection it works perfectly.
I run an online shop and I need to fix this problem as soon as possible. I only bought the phone so that I could respond to customers quickly when I am away from my office.
If anyone has any ideas on how I could fix this, I would be very greatfull.
Thanks,
John

I forgot to mention that I can still use the internet when not on a wifi connection, so I can still recieve data but no notifications.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for the reply.
I dont know too much about phones so Im not sure what you mean by rooted?
I will see if I can find out what version Im on and let you know.
Thanks again
 
Since gmail has so many problems I need you to go to the play store to see if app needs updating . if not I need for you to see if gmail is checked to sync .
 
Maybe you have found the problem as both the ebay app and the gmail app need updating.
Im sure it is set to sync.
I will update them and see if it fix's the problem.
Thanks Brian
 
Hi,
The updates have not solved the problem.
I still can not received notifactions when on mobile data from ebay, paypal or gmail.
the internet works and can receive whats app messages.
What could the problem be?

I have never done that.
would that mean it wipes everything on the phone inc pics addresses ect?

Nothing from sd card but phone data will be wiped.. But let's first do a wipe data and wipe cache of the gmail app . do a reboot when done.
 
Hi Brian,
I think I may have solved the problem..
After looking though just about every setting on my phone, I found that Google Play Store had a Data restriction on it. I have now taken that restriction off and I have started receiving ebay messages again. I have know idea why the google play store has any effect on ebay notifications but fingers crossed it is working again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.
John
 
If you wiped the data and cache you was about to reset it to receive again. But you got it before . if you have anything else feel free to post .
