I've just discovered that my Gmail app is not receiving or sending. I knew it didn't recieve a mail I got in my box at arount 10.30 BST (GMT +1) and even after a restart, it's still pretty dead.
Actually, I didn't get any emails since 05.21 BST. That was the earliest one this morning that I can check from my computer that I got. Yesterday, my Gmail app was fine.
I'm not sure if this is linked to Rob Pomeroy's issue but this isn't about Exchange ActiveSync.
Anyone else have this issue?
Yep, having problems also.
I'm in the USA and my Gmail doesn't seem to be syncing either..
It used to be I'd hear my phone been before I got a popup on my screen.. Now it's just not doing it's job.. I can click and make it sync, but it seems to not be pushing email to me anymore..
I am on TMobile, but on wifi..
I don't know what the deal is.. I haven't loaded anything new lately..
Same here in Germany.
Edit: Now it works. But it takes longer then normally.
Mine here in uk is not syncing, even if you try to manually sync its not getting any new mails, wonder what's up.
I had this issue a couple of days ago. Couldn't work out what the problem was, until I found out there was a known issue with gmail failing to sync if internal memory got to low.
I had about 4mb left, so i then tried deleting some apps until the low memory warning went away, and sure enough gmail started syncing again. Pretty ****ty issue to be honest, but hopefully wont be a problem once google let you install apps to the sd.
So if you lot have a low memory warning, try clearing some space, and hopefully the issue will go .
yes that was the problem for me, finding it hard to find apps i can delete got a good selection of stuff i use, roll on apps on sd in froyo.
My Gmail has been working fine, but then again I'm using Google Apps for Domains, so it is possible that the difference is there.

Dave
Yes me too. Started on Monday Tuesday this week (10th May) For no reason Exchange sync stopped worked and I couldn't receive any emails on my SIM unlocked Desire on Orange UK. Can still send.
Sorry off post as it's not a Gmail issue, but I'm looking for a solution - seems it might be and Exchange problem...?
According to the status dashboard (see here), Gmail has been having problems the past 3 days.
Note that this link is live, so it will move according to the date and current status.

Was just about to post my coincidence about having low memory, deleting Google Earth, low memory icon disappeared, and mail came in. Funny thing is, my GTalk had stopped working as well until I had more space! Now that one I have no idea why it is linked to low memory.
Come on, why wouldn't these things cache to SD card.
On another note, for some of the others still having this problem, I know I had it once before and it had nothing to do with low memory. I just kept on getting mail about 30mins-2hrs late. Then the problem just disappeared.
I hate intermittant problems. Too hard to diagnose since you show someone, then POOF!!! the problem is gone. You are left looking like a technophillic hyperchondriac.

I don't believe it!!! Why on earth couldn't it just pop up a little warning box saying "memory low, sync will halt until this has been resolved"? Or even better - use the bloomin' SD card!!
Many thanks to fozzy for pointing this out, I was on the verge of resetting my Desire until I read this!!

Hey Guys,
Did a search, but couldn't see this specific issue come up.
Been trying to sync my Google Calender all morning but even though all the boxes are ticked and the little circle arrows show up next to the sync section, the phone just won't start syncing.
Never had a problem with this at all before and it's now becoming very frustrating.
I have no other syncs activated apart from the google calender and it's not working.
Anyone come across this issue or know a solution?
Problem solved.
Seems it wouldn't sync whilst I had low memory symbol up. (13.8mb available) so deleted app and now working.
Bloody annoying!
That's my main gripe with this phone. I used my hero for like 4 months and never saw low memory. First day I got my Desire, low mem.
Had to wait until I was willing to root, so now I have Modaco with APPS2SD+
Last week, I had the problem, much reported here and elsewhere, of my contacts and calendar suddenly refusing to sync with Google. I damn near tore my hair out trying to solve the problem and whilst cursing and fiddling with my phone, I took time out to free up some space. The sync suddenly started working again, but I couldn't be sure whether the two were connected.
This morning I bought an app and this again tipped me into 'low disc space' territory. My sync also stopped. So, I deleted some more apps, lost the warning, tried to sync again, and... voila!
I hope this helps some of you.
bbb
Please forgive me for bumping this, but I think it may be useful to people who are having problems - as I was!
Thanks this helped me
I believe all syncíng stops, not just contacts and calendar.
Gmail and the weather widget will stop too.
Possibly also Friendstream, Twitter and Facebook apps/widgets (I hardly use these, so I don't know for sure).
Too bad there isn't a notification for this, such as "Couldn't sync <list of items> because of low space."
Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17
No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...
Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?
Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?
Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...
Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem
I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend
I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.
Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment
Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???
I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.
Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....
Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????
Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!
It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.
Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....
Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.
Hi, I'm having an issue with the "Low on Space" notification. I deleted many applications, a moved my videos to my PC, the memory is like half available (free), and the "Low on Space" notification won't go away. Even after pulling out the battery several times.
-Another issue that happened since this notification is there is that GMAIL won't push. Not even if I manually sync. (or try to sync). It just won't do it.
-It won't download any application from the market. Probably because it thinks there is no space. It displays the downloading icon for ever.
Either way, these two last issues may be related to the Google email account set up on the phone. It's not asking for a password or anything. to fix this I would need to do a reset, but I would lose all my information!
I have the latest upgrades and it's stock.
If anyone has an idea please let me know. Thanks.
I'd just wipe the phone and start from scratch.
fixed, for now.
It was fixed. Strange.
I wiped, but only the gmail accounts. Then I recreated them again. Finally they were able to sync. The Market would download applications again. the "low on space" msg is gone.
I would like to know what triggered this...
Something else I did right before it worked again. I uninstalled the Ebay application. Coincidence?

Perhaps not. I can imagine the cache for that can get quite large.
While this is not conclusive, it might be worth trying again, and when the
"low on space messages occur" try going to manage apps > ebay > clear cache
to see if that makes the difference. If it does, you'll know for sure.
--Chris
how were you able to wipe only the gmail accounts? I'm having the exact same problems and can't figure it out for the life of me. Another thing that I noticed is that gTalk will not start at all...
Hey guys,
A few weeks ago my Verizon Samsung Note 4 received an OTA update - nothing major, I believe it just added some security patches and removed some bloatware. But since then, my gmail app has not been syncing properly.
The sync is definitely still ON, because it does sync sometimes but it's very sporadic. But it's not syncing as soon as emails come in, and often it will take a couple hours for new emails to show up (which I can see if I'm home near my computer). Some mornings I'll wake up and my emails from overnight will be there, and some mornings, nothing will have synced from overnight.
And as far as I can tell, there's nothing specific that finally prompts it to sync (in other words, turning my phone on, or simply opening gmail doesn't make it sync. It just seems to be totally random).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!!
Dude I though it was me.. I been having the same problem. Anyone else having this problem and figured it out?
Same
I got the 5.1.1 update 8 days ago and exact same issue. I've been through 3 factory resets both using previous backups and starting fresh. Also used troubleshooting fixes from other posts... clearing data, clearing cache, turn sync off/on, removed/added Google account, etc. Nothing so far
Same issue here...
Strange. I've also taken the update (actually, if memory serves, there were 2 updates within a couple of weeks) and aren't experiencing the problems you all are seeing. I know, that doesn't help you any.
Hmm, well it does help to hear from others that are having the same problem, so at least I'm not driving myself crazy trying things that won't fix it! Thanks for the replies.
And of course, if anyone has any solutions, I'd still love to hear from you too . . .
I know this also is not much help, but I've sent an email to the Dev but no reply yet...
Same here in note 3 and since updating gmail app my gear 2 no longer gets notications from gmail even when gmail DOES show up on phone notifications.
Leave it to Verizon to screw everything up after finally making some big progress with the first 5.1 update. That update fixed SO MANY issues I was having with the phone. I was ready to switch to a new one, but the update made me want to keep it. Then I wake up to see this latest 2nd update was installed without it asking me, and now I am having major issues with things like Gmail not syncing, but also answering a phone call is horrendously bugged. I will have to swipe the green answer button like 8 times before it actually picks up the freaking call. My wifi will randomly stop sending and receiving any packets and my signal will just drop out completely, airplane mode doesn't fix it and it requires a hard reset. Like holy hell Verizon, what the actual freak do you guys do to your phones...
