iphone 5 replaced, now gmail exchange wont work.

[AustinInDallas]

I know as of Feb 1st this year google is no longer supporting exchange for gmail on iphones, but I thought that people were grand fathered?

I did a back up, replaced the phone and restored it. Everything was exactly as before, but now the gmail wont send mail.

Is there anything I can do?

Only hardware is grandfathered. Not the account.

Google officially ended its Exchange support on Jan. 30, but the search company has grandfathered in existing users' hardware to continue allowing push email. That means most users will only discover the changes if they get a new iPhone, whether through upgrading, or simply receiving a replacement from Apple.

While push email support for Gmail is no longer available for free with iOS Mail, users can still sync calendars and contacts via CardDAV and CalDav, both of which are supported by both Google and Apple's iOS.

Email support for Gmail through IMAP remains available, allowing users to use Apple's native Mail application for iOS. But they will need to either have iOS fetch mail on 15-, 30- or 60-minute intervals, or manually by launching the app and refreshing.

Users who want to use the native Mail app can also use third-party notification services such as Boxcar, which can separately send push notifications. And beyond the official Gmail app, users can turn to other third-party email options like popular newcomer Mailbox.
