I looked at my screen while it was plugged into the comp and noticed that there were 2 debugging icons at the top - one of them is debugging asking permission to access my gmail account. Why would it want to do that?
Check again. The symbol is used for more than debugging. Read the screen that comes up when you tap on it. It should tell you what specific app it is. Usually gallery 3d, Google voice or another Google based app.

didn't know I could tap on it without granting permission. when I go into it it says Gallery (this must be the new froyo gallery apk I loaded earlier today) wants to access my gmail account to access my picasa web albums, which I don't have set up on the phone.
Gunna set to deny - I don't use picasa anymore anyway. Thanks.
Yeah no problem. I can understand how that could be alarming until you understand how it works. That symbol is also used when an app fails to install.

Not sure how it happened, but for most of my contacts I have about 3 identical google profiles for...I noticed this when I go to send a text...I get about 3 cell #s, 3 home #s, etc for each person...wondering if there is something I'm missing to clear out? Thanks in advance, just mildly annoying

Might be a stupid question but..... have you checked your google account? Are they on there multiple times too?
Do you have more than one gmail account linked with your android phone? If so, do you also have these contacts on separate accounts?
Go to your contacts app and hit the menu button and check your display options too. See if something weird's going on there.
Or you can delete the data for your contacts through the Application manager and let it resync in case data was corrupted some how.

I actually get the same thing but I'm heavily modded and just live with it. For me I'm on 1.1 of Srf and running the honeycomb theme of amosher. Also sync across two main mail accounts with my mandatory Gmail account not being one of them.

Clear the google services framework data.
First, I must apologize for posting in the wrong forum...meant to put in Q&A...sorry. And thanks for the suggestions...I cleared the data in the contacts storage, clear google services framework...reset the sync...unfortunately nothing worked...just weird...shows like 3 linked google accts under every contact...I can delete them manually, but upon reboot, they come right back...oh well, guess I'll just deal with it too...thanks again!

Go to the sync settings and uncheck the Contacts option on all but one of them and then reset it again.
Login to Gmail on a PC and try merging duplicates under contacts/more actions.
Nicenice...yours was the winner...thank you! & thanks to all who responded, I appreciate it

Happened to me once.. I've always had my contacts on gmail, but I once used a different back up app that restored my contacts, suddenly, I had two gmail entries for every person.. both on my phone and in gmail.. solution was to go on gmail on a comp and delete dup contacts

I'm just wondering if there is any way to get my email to automatically load pictures in the emails instead of having to press the "show pictures" button every time. I was using the galaxy tab email port but when I switched over to cm7 the email app stopped working, all I get is forced closes. It's really an annoyance.

I don't have to hit "show pictures" in the Gingerbread email client. That was the first thing I noticed in the leaks! I use the stock email.client.

K9 mail gives you 3 choices for that. It's set to not show pics on default without clicking, but can be changed to contacts only or all.

Thanks!! K-9 did the trick. Awesome.
Gmail 2.3.5 also has this option, if that helps.

a Stupid Q from my side... I actually want to disable it showing pictures by default and I cannot find the options that you mentioned.. Are they still there ? or have they been removed
So my dad has the EVO 4g I'm pretty good with tech stuff but this I just can't figure out, his phone was acting werid so I did the first trouble shooting you do with anything power off power on however when we powered it on all the contacts were gone, when you look at view theres 900 contacts but with no phone number any ideas

Does he have a google account setup?? Because if he did is only a matter of signing to your Gmail and they all should be stored there.
Yes he does I thought the same thing I was like its fin Google backs it up but nope not there either
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
This may sound funny but could it be possible that he has more than one and you're not using the right Gmail account? Well in any case you can go into that Gmail account that he used from a computer and check if those contacts are there; now if the're not then I think is fair to say they're gone almost for sure... Now if they are there then we can figure out a way to get those back in there.

Is he on a stock rom or have you installed something non-stock for him? Also, as stated above, log in to contacts.google.com and see whats there. If they are there then go into accounts/sync, disable google contacts sync then reboot, connect to good wifi connection, and re-enable contacts sync.
If they aren't showing up in contacts.google.com theeeeeen I might try another reboot. Or maybe fix permissions if you are rooted and your recovery supports it.

Holding the menu key down does bring up the Google search, but going through the settings I don't see anything for Google Now. I don't have Google +. Is this needed? I added a valid gmail accound as well to my phone.
Figured it out. I needed to make the gmail account the primary account. I tried to delete the thread but perhaps it will be helpful to someone else.
I see it in the notification pulldown, but not in the top bar. Wonder if there's a setting for that.

In the google (now) app, there's a Privacy and accounts option in the settings when you hit menu. Click on that and click google account to choose which one to use. It'd be nice if we could use a non gmail account with Google Now. My university (utexas) partners with gmail, so it technically is gmail but without some of the perks like google now.

I you use chrome and search for a landmark, after you find it, say a specific McDonald's, next time you open google now it will present you with navigation to that McDonalds.
Google now is amazing. I arrived at BWI on Sunday and when I turned my phone on, it had directions to the hotel up, restaurants listed near the hotel, and the local weather. It does sometjing similar at home too. Probably one of the nicest upgrades thats functional.

Stock Note 2.. up to date..
for some reason I cannot find my email Icon. I just started a new job and we have to use exchange. I set up the email account via Sync accounts..
Now here is the kicker.. I cannot find the EMAIL icon in any grid to place it on my home screen. I looked into Settings... App Manger.. All and there is an icon there for it. .But for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere to add it to my home screen for easy access..
Anyone know how to magically make the icon reappear on my phone with out having to do a wipe?

I assume you are on the TW stock launcher? If so, try this: touch and hold empty space on home screen... select "Apps and widgets".... under Apps tab, select "Email". There's also an Email widget on the Widgets tab
The widget works.. but I am just looking for the email Icon.. I cannot find that little guy any where..
Is it hidden or disabled

Go to your app drawer then tap your menu soft key. The show hidden apps is at the bottom of the list.
There are no apps currently hidden... it never showed up in the app drawer this way. ..

If you can set up your email and you have a widget that works I sure do not see how you could have lost your email icon. Did you tuck it away in a folder? Post screen shots of all your app drawer pages if you do not mind.
Here you go.

That is weird. The only odd thing I noticed was that you have two gallery icons. The only thing that looks like email appears to be Microsoft's icon. Are you running any icon packs.
Everything is stock. ..no packs what so ever.

If you're rooted, go to /system/app folder and see if you have "SecEmail.apk" or "SecExchange.apk". If you do, you can try reinstalling the apks. If not, you need them. Easy to root if you're not.
Not rooted.... still can't figure it out. .. The icon does show up for ways to share attschments etc. ..

Install a file explorer that will allow you to get to /system/apps then tap on your SecEmail.apk, you will have to enable unknown sources, it should try to install the email apk. I do not know for sure if it will install or not and it may not even help. Reset your security setting for unknown sources if you want afterwards if you like. I have heard that some Samsung apks cannot be installed after initial boot.
It starts the install...but it does not complete it. I have astro by the way.
