[Q] couple of questions (andoird 2.2 bugs etc...) - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

BTW I did searched the forums, but didn't find anything
I have a couple of questions about my D-inc (android 2.2) I absolutely loved it, and everything about it, i originally used the unrevoked tool to root (android2.1) awhile ago, and then reverted back to stock and used the update.zip the morning it came out. worked great, i used unrevoked 3 when it came out (before it got pulled for the update), i only then started to notice some weird bugs.
I don't know if it was from the update.zip, unrevoked, or what.
My Gmail wont sync. i delete\archive\reply to a email on my phone and it still shows up online on my computer and vice versa. to relieve new e-mails i have to manually refresh every time. i tried to live with it, but now it is just annoying.
Under settings every time i try and go into accounts and sync it force closes and i cant open it, no matter how many times i reboot, use it in landscape mode (saw this might be a potential fix) and nothing.
Any help? I searched the forums and various android forums, but didn't see anybody with similar problems, no if anybody could point me in the same direction, I would appreciate it.

Did you try force stopping Accounts and Sync? Try clearing out your GMail cache too while you're there, that has fixed issues for me in the past.

I cleared out the cache, and force stopped gmail and accounts/ sync and I'm still having the same problem.
so any other ideas?

Problem after nandroid recovery

Hi all.
Having rooted with unrevoked and made a nandroid backup of my rom, I installed OpenDesire Team's Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM and radio on my phone. It worked well and it's the mod I am going to use. Problem is I don't have the time to set it all up now and reinstall everything and put all my settings as I'd like them since I am going to be on a business trip for the next 2 to 3 weeks. So I did a nandroid restore. All well and OK. Except I could no longer see any of my videos. Always an error telling me Sorry, you cannot play this video or whatnot. I rebooted and immediately after reboot I tried to play the same files. The first one started, then froze, and then all video files gave me the same error. Even files I had recorded with the phone. This went on for a few hours till I remembered the damn radio file. Thinking "it can't be that" I dloaded a previous version from the development section and flashed. Believe it or not, I can now play videos. Crises averted... except it's not.
Today I noticed that my Gmail app isn't syncing anymore. I receive mails in real time (pushed to the device) and can open and read them fine. I can even delete them from the inbox (or so it seems), but when I tried to reply to an email I noticed my mail just sat there saying "sending" in those red / pink letters. I tried to compose a new mail and sending that only to find all my composed mails since I had restored were still sitting in my outbox label / folder. And when I accessed Gmail from my PC's web browser, I found that all the mails I had opened in the Gmail app on the phone were still unopened on the servers. And the deleted ones were still there too, untouched. So it seems my Gmail stopped syncing. And I have already checked the settings. All else is working including calendar and contacts.
I have performed over a dozen restores now and tried all radio files in the forum. Nothing worked.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Please!!!!! Very urgent I fix it before leaving tomorrow evening.

[Q] Problems with Gmail, Gtalk and Market. Please help!

I just noticed the other day that gmail was no longer pushing new mail, so I attempted to manually sync, but nothing at all happened. My phone is telling me "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Its been saying that for almost a week.
I also noticed that when I try to download from the Market, it hangs at "Starting Download..." and does nothing at all.
When I try to open Gtalk it immediately force-closes.
I've been trying to find the solution to this for about four or five days, and I really don't want to have to do a factory reset. I figure that these incidents are all related, but cannot for the life of me find out how to fix it.
If you know anything about this and can, please help! Running rooted stock 2.2 rom. clockwork recovery.
I don't know about the gmail issues but I had a few problems with the market too. What fixed it for me was trying it again when I'm connected to wifi with a strong network. It flys when I did it that way.
Did you try deleting gtalk? then reinstall
I want to, but unfortunately uninstall isn't even an option for gtalk since it is a part of android.

[Q] People App, iNsertCoin 2.0.0

Hi all. Apologies for the noob Q, but I have been frustrated by this issue for quite a while... I have searched google and run searches here, as well as asking on a local tech forum, so I am really hoping someone can help.
The issue I have is that the People app on my Desire seems to be broken. Over the past month or so I have installed iNsertCoin 1.9.4, then 1.9.5 only to revert back to the LeeDroid ROM I was using previously, as each time the People app just wouldn't play the game. Now I am on iC2.0.0, with the same problem.
There seems to be no issue with my phone syncing from gmail and populating my Contacts list. I can see this list by tapping the Phone tab, but if I tap the People icon, the phone just sits there loading. And loading. This doesnt seem to happen with other ROMs I have used... I have wiped, reflashed, wiped and reflashed the ROM. Everything else works perfectly, except this one app. I am almost to the point of going back to LeeDroid 2.3f again, which is a shame, since I really do like this ROM.
Has anyone had any similar experiences?? Thanks in advance.
I got the same.
InsertCoin A2SD+ 1.0.8 stable. People just won't load from the "People" app, just "loading.." forever. when searching contacts with "Search People" app, the phone shows the list but when I'm clicking on a contact I get force close (The application People process com.android.htccontacts) has stopped...)
what's with that? it's a phone and all.... any fixes? like, reinstalling the people app?

[Q] Twitter stopped working

Ok, this is really pissing me off.
A couple days ago Twitter app (the official one) stopped updating. So i opened it manually and tried to scroll down the tweets to make it load the new ones, but a popup message came out, the one usually displayed when no connection is available. First of all i checked my sync settings, and they were just fine.
Then i tried rebooting the phone, no way.
So i tried wiping cache, still no way.
Then i decided to try and reinstall the app. I did, but funny enough it didn't even allow me to login. I tried tons of other twitter apps and it's still the same, all of them displaying some "unable to login" message.
Right after that (quite pissed indeed) i decided to go the hard way, so i fully wiped and reflashed Oxygen 2.1.4. Guess what? Nothing changed.
I have to point out that i CAN login from the browser, so it shouldn't just me being idiot lol.
Now i'm really running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
I attached a logcat too, just in case.
Any suggestion?

[Q] ARGH! PLEASE HELP! Gmail force close again

Process: com.google.android.gm NOT "gapp"
had an issue with it not syncing a few weeks ago...wound up wiping, using Titanium to restore everything that was on it. Made a nandroid thru CWM after it was confirmed everything was fine
NOTHING changed on my phone, from yesterday to today...it just started force closing out of the blue. Going to back to the Nandroid backup did nothing
My cache is 0.00kb (for those of you about to say 'clear cache in manage applications' lol)
I'm getting really sick of this happening, and losing things from weeks past in hopes of recovery.
FWIW, I had 3 gmails syncing. 2 worked fine, but the MAIN ('assigned' tot he phone) is the one that this keeps happening to. I can check, delete, and send emails from the other two, but now when I go to do anything in the primary, or switch between accounts it force closes. I removed those 'extra' accounts to no avail either
Any ideas?!?! (I have also wiped data in Titanium, which is what fixed it the last time.) I had issues on and off with Facebook force closing (I uninstalled it last week, before this happened)
Even re-installed before posting this, and when I did that I got the gmail force close (even though I wasn't syncing any contacts from gmail)
Silly Question:
Is there anything else to use for gmail, other than the gmail app? It seems to have more issues than it's worth. Which is extra annoying, since it is native to the phone/OS, down to it's very core lol

is your phone running on a customer "rom'? if so, what rom? i had that happened to me a couple of times and had to odin back and do the whole process all over. does your phone dialer work?
I get my gmail through the default email.apk. I have it set to receive from gmail, yahoo, hotmail and Roadrunner.

I kept saying to myself 'list ROM etc' and that's the one thing I left out lol
I'm on the ACS ICS
can I use multiple gmails with the email apk?it just seems so much slower than gmail
and yes,phone dialer still works
ok...try this, boot into cwm, do a factory reset in cwm, then install acs, do it twice and see what happens. before you installed acs, did you do a nandroid backup?
already 'fixed' it...
WIPED IT BACK TO COMPLETELY STOCK
re-rooted, re-installed ACS and then did the latest CWM nandroid back-up (12/23/2011)
Gmail works as does everything else
Now I'm updating everything that has updated since 12/23, and going to do a nandroid and Titanium back-up tonight
SUCH A PITA
I love the ROM, but this is the 2nd time in a month this has happened. Both times I had to take it back to stock, and start ALL over...
Have you tried switching to a third party app such as k9 mail? That has been my preference for a while now. It has tons of options, and I find it more capable than gmail or the stock email apk's.

I will look into it...up until 10seconds ago I never knew about it
THANKS!!!
