The bigger problem, however, is there are some Nexus owners who are still seeing problems getting their Gmail account to sync. A r took to the forum Thursday said the issue is “actively being worked on.” In the meantime, you may have to look for another solution like syncing your Gmail with a third-party email app. If you want the latest version of Gmail, grab the update from the ay Store or A Mirror. y this matters: Nothing is more frustrating than when email or other core data won’t sync properly to your phone. If you’re stuck in this boat, a potential workaround could be to try another email app, such as Outlook or CloudMagic, both of which work with Gmail. It’s quite frustrating that a phone sold by running stock Android would have this problem with the company’s own email service, so hopefully a fix comes for you soon.
