The bigger problem, however, is there are some Nexus owners who are still seeing problems getting their Gmail account to sync. A Googler took to the forum Thursday and 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 Play Store or APK Mirror.
Why 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 Google and running stock Android would have this problem with the company’s own email service, so hopefully a fix comes for you soon.
