How to make Push work with iOS5? Emails not appearing in lockscreen

[Reba Leung]

If push is on, your push will work. Everyone knows what push is. And there is fetch. The fetch system uses those times everyone selects to pull data every 15, 30, hour, or manual intervals when push isn't available, i.e an app that doesnt support Push data. But depending on the email client you have, determines if there is push or not.

I have no problem what so ever getting my emails pushed to my iPhone 4 the second I someone senRAB me data, be it on my old yahoo or gmail, or even my new ICloud. Maybe exchange is different now in iOS 5. Only time will give us more answers.

No one is doubting that it works for you. But there is a fair nuraber of us who have been posting lately with push problems that can't be explained by the simple answer of having push turned on, or any other settings. To just say that push will work if push is on doesn't solve the issue.

Very possible Skull, but so far I haven't found it, and I assure you I've really been over them. As a matter of fact, as mentioned in another topic, I actually got push to work once, but never after that. There were no changes made before or after that one time that it worked. It just worked, then it didn't.

Alright lets level the playing field. Do a forced iPhone backup. Do a factory reset. Activate the phone. DO NOT RESTORE. Create one exchange email account with push notifications. Without going into the mail app, send an email to the phone. If it works, you know it is your data. Restore that data, destroy that email account and reenter it again. If that doesn't fix it then the issue is in the general settings. It is called shotgun troubleshooting, but I can guarantee after you have done all this you will know where the problem lies.

I just may do that, but if I do I'll need some help setting up the exchange account. Never had one before. It's not something that I'm going to start tonight for sure. I'd like to think that it ought to have a simpler solution. I do appreciate the suggestion Skull. Really do.

I'm sure it's just ios and the iCloud network right now. Sometimes I can send an iMessage, sometimes I can't (more cant than can right now).

4 million iPhone 4S were sold in 4 days, and I'm sure most of those people are trying to connect with iCloud and other services but each of us are having difficulties of their own, and it's only normal. Problem reports are sent automatically, I'm sure the apple team is trying to press every bug out as we speak. No OS is perfect and fully functional completely the first few days, let alone weeks its been launched.

Everyone's new OS experiance can vary. I'd do what Skull is suggesting, it seems the only thing left to do. What could it hurt?

This is how you setup gmail for push.

In this scenario push does work. The problem comes in when a iPhone is already powered on but in stand by. Any email sent will not be received unless the user opens the email app or reboots the phone.
