I’m confused. I have push turned OFF and gmail STILL pushes it to my phone every time. It is really annoying because I DON”T WANT IT. Any help? Please?!!

MarryMcJ – You are a genius! Exactly the workaround I was looking for – and works perfectly – notifies my mail app when therei s gmail waiting and removes the mail notification badge from the mail app once I have checked my gmail – awesome awesome awesome!

My alternative is free and simple. Go to Gmail settings and select forwarding and POP/IMAP then enter a free Yahoo mail address and select keep Gmail’s copy in the inbox. Then go to your iPhone and enter the Yahoo mail account and select push. Voila, you have all your Gmail pushed to iPhone.

There is another alternative, http://www.ultimatenotifier.com is about to launch an integrated push notification service for GMail, Google Apps Mail, Google Reader, Twitter and a number of other things.

Alan…I don’t notice a bit of difference in battery usage with GPush enabled. I personally think it’s the best push notifier out there and for the past week it’s been working perfectly.

Regarding the iPhone battery…I am convinced there is simply no way to get over one day’s use out of a charge unless you don’t use your phone at all and don’t turn it on. If it’s a device you have to charge every day, just do so and use whatever apps you want. I didn’t buy my iPhone to not use it :-)

Reading through this article and subsequent comments did not make it clear GPush is now available. I just searched for GPush in the store and its there with a mix of good and bad reviews.

Question: Does enabling ‘push’ on the iPhone chew the battery faster? I have heard conflicting reports.

There is a great Gmail notifier in the App store called
“pushmail.” it sends an instant pop-up when u receive a new
email from any account plus a brief display of the message. It is
instant but nit true push. This is ok with me because it does
not create any duplicate emails to delete. 5 bucks beats
the$99 cost of MobileMe. Works great

Wait… I can pay $0.99 to give someone my Gmail login credentials?!!??!? That’s awesome… They should increase the price though… to like $5.00
