700wx Gmail problem - help!

[j-rad]

I had mail2web set up on my phone for a while for email, but when they increased the price from $2 to $5 I got rid of it.

Then, I set up my gmail account, and it was working great for a while - email was coming in pretty close to when I received it in my account, and the phone was handling it fine.

Now, the past month or two, the phone is VERY sluggish - I didn't know what was going on at first, but figured out that it was the gmail account sending/receiving. Every time it would send/receive, you could not do anything else on the phone - it was like it was frozen for up to a full minute. So, I went into the delivery preferences and changed it to check every 20 minutes, instead of having that option unchecked. This didn't help anything, as it still checked for messages whenever I turned the screen on, or went into my inbox.

So, I then changed the time to 40 minutes, but it's still the same thing. It seems whenever I wake up the phone, and try to do something, it immediately sends/receives and slows the entire phone down. This is really annoying, and I can't figure out why it is doing it.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

One thing you might check is whether or not you have a lot of other apps running. Hold down your OK button and this will bring up a window w/ all of your running apps. If you're not aware, "X"-ing out of an app does not close that app, but just minimizes it. If you have too many running, it will definitely slow everything else down. There are several progs out there that will allow you to actually close out of a running app.

There is nothing else running - I always close my programs.

Gmail send/receive is the problem, which I can't seem to fix.

Then another thing you might check is how much memory you have left. Go to Settings/Memory and check Storage memory. If it's low, real low, then use something like MemMaid or SKTools to clean that bad boy up.

Just a thought.
