Hey Guys,
Been experiencing gmail issue for the last couple of weeks.
Desire Z, now with the OTA update - used to have root, task managers, but did factory data reset which should remove those two, correct?
Upon boot, gmail functions well, and pushes my mail thru well, then after a while, i'd go into the gmail app and refresh, and a flurry of emails would come thru, some hours old.
I've done several factory resets, at the moment have weather sync every 3 hours, gmail, exchange (push), facebook for sense every 12 hours, and whatsapp.
Not sure how the native gmail app works, is it exchange? proprietary sync? imap idle? or thru the google cloud service?
been reading and people have cleared the gmail cache as a temp workaround, but I find this annoying, and its results are hit and miss.
I have tried on gmail app version 2.3 and 2.3.2 (latest)
any ideas?
PS - background data on, sync on, all on!
Native gmail app is pushhhhhh. It should be pushing down....
I have had troubles with syncing but I flash so muchstuff I'm never in the same place at the same time. So a wipe is always the fix everytime.
If I were you id quit on the weather (look up at the sky) and facebook. Eliminate the junk if you are trying to fix something substantially important. See what happens. Try a wipe they feel good actually.

Thanks for the suggestion,
over the weekend (Xmas weekend) i wiped twice, both times i didnt install anything else, both times after a period of time, it would stop pushing.
I have no idea now hahaha
Ok, so i just did it again, factory reset, formatted SD card, completely clean phone.
installed only my gmail account and my work exchange account. nothing else.
my push gmail worked for about 1/2 hour, and stopped again.
The problem is with Gmail. They just updated the.app. go to the Market and download the new app before you.delete your whole phone or something.

Im having an issue with Facebook sense. I noticed after restarting my phone for the first time that the Facebook friend stream was no longer updating even though it was set to update every hour and it was enabled, Looking in the setting menu confirmed this as the last updated time was not changing unless i forced a resync. Removing and re-adding the account worked for a while until I restarted the phone but as soon as I did the same issue manifested, it just wont automatically update. All other automatic updates seem to work.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so have you managed to find a resolution?
Cheers!
if you have the little power bar widget, with Bluetooth WiFi etc on, have you turned on the reloading sign?

Already checked that, every other app updates correctly just not facebook
log out then back in...it fixed my friends list not updating with new friends, probably will sort out th e friendstream (providing you've not already fixed it)
make sure its the facebook for htc rather than facebook for android tho !
How are you logging out of it?

I don't have my phone with me at the moment, but while logged into Facebook, is there no option to log out via the browser or when you press the Menu button?
I had that problem, fixed by going into settings and re-selecting the update frequency, seems to need repeating at each boot.
Does anyone know how to update contact pictures? My friends have updated their facebook prof pics but it isnt getting update to my phone.
i had to delete my facebook account then re-add it
Facebook integration seems a bit iffy on mine too. New friend facebook contacts do not show up on Contacts tab (to be linked). It seems the thing does not update without remove-re add.

Yeah I had to remove the account and re-add but then it only synced 30 contacts at first and then I had to keep resyncing 3 times to get all contacts synced.
Same here.....had to re-add my account
The first time it cut off at around 40. I rebooted the Desire, now I have the first 40 twice.

Solution
Had the same issue, just updated facebook and all better now...
not to beat a dead horse on this one, but I am having something along these issues with my FriendStream widget. The Facbook isn't updateing hourly like it should, I have tried the following to correct the problem:
Removed/Re-Added my account
Cleared all Cache Data
Cleared all Data
Reset the phone (factory Reset)
Updated Facebook
Really ata loss for what I should do from here, any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.
Lately, as I delete emails after I have read them within the Gmail app, they will show back up in the Inbox a little while later, sometimes as new/unread mail and sometimes showing as unread emails in the Inbox counter but not actually showing in the Inbox.
I've done several things to try and fix it:
- Went into Applications and cleared the caches (problem eventually comes back)
- Cleared the caches as well as uninstalled the Gmail updates then reinstalled from Market (problem eventually comes back)
I've searched through the forums and can't find where anyone has written about having this issue or resolving it. Has anyone here run into this and if so, how did you go about resolving it?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve this issue?
No "final" solution that fixes it...just have to keep doing the 2 steps I wrote about and the problem goes away for a while.
It happens maybe every 2 weeks and seems to pop up when I haven't gone into Gmail and emptied my trash from within the Gmail site for a while. Also seems to come back if I read through emails too quickly; maybe an issue with reading and then deleting on the phone before the phone can push back to the server that it's been read...just guessing.
Sorry...

Go to manage applications, find GMail then force stop it. clear cache and then clear data. Reopen GMail and set up the label sync etc how you like it and should be good. Hope this works for you, let me know.
Thanks ifly! Haven't tried the force stop part before so I just did it. I'll report back if anything comes back.

No problem at all. Hope it fixes it. I have this happen quite a bit after a nand backup or restore. When I do a nand restore i always wipe data/factory reset, then cache and davlik now and that seems to fix the problem. Not sure what is getting hung up in the data to cause this.
That's what's been bugging me as well...I do all the wipes when I do a nand restore or load a new rom but Gmail always seems to go back to this stranger behavior. I looked all over these forums (and others), hoping someone had at least seen the same thing but to no avail.
UPDATE: Started having the same issue with Gmail. Was honestly hoping the last suggestion would help...guess not.
Any other ideas...anyone?
Login to gmail from a browser.
Click settings and then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab
Check the settings there. I have both pop enabled and IMAP.
What are yours set to?
I've got them both enabled as well.
hmmm not sure what the deal is then...strange.

I'm having similar issues as well. I would get an email notification, open gmail, read it, delete it. Few minutes later, it shows up as an unread email but does not appear in my inbox. If i go to my "all" email box, it's there. I also still see it on my desktop PC. It finally goes away when I delete it from my PC. Another major problem that has not been mentioned here is that I cannot send an email from my EVO using the gmail app. It just keeps sitting there in my outbox. Very frustrating.
Here's my setup.

Anyone having (or had) an issue sending emails from gmail? Not sure when this started, but at first I could send but not forward or reply, now I can't even send. When I hit the send button it just greys out. i'm on decks ROM, I've cleared app data, reflashed gaps, removed and reinstalled from the market, fixed permissions, etc - nothing has helped. Will likely rebuild from scratch in the next day our two, but figured I would throw the question out there.
I had issues with the Gmail app as well - I could hit the send button but it would sit in my outbox forever and say "sending". I searched around and found a lot of other people with problems. My Gmail app wouldn't sync properly either. I would read an email or mark it as read, then when I synced it would still show unread.
My solution was to ditch the Gmail app and just use the default email app - you can set up your Gmail through that. You can also try a different version of the app, maybe an older one that worked for you.

Thanks for the response, for what its worth, I saw lots of posts with the symptoms you describe, everything on mine sync'd fine between gmail and phone except send. When I hit send the button would just grey out, wouldn't say sending or even move to the outbox, it just did nothing.
I rebuilt from scratch this morning and its working fine now, so who knows, I had tried everything I could think of and nothing else worked.

See if this helps
When I had the same issue when I flashed to r3charge - Final rom i just deleted the gmail app, wiped cache and davik then did a fresh reinstall using the market.
See if that helps.

I did the same thing and my gmail worked perfectly afterwards.
That may have been a step I missed. I dont think I cleared cache when I removed the app, definitely rebooted before installing from the market. Well, thats one more thing to try if it happens again... which it likely wont now that I have a probable fix...
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the hopes that they are, I'm posting this. For some reason, I'm not getting any notifications for push apps. Specifically for me, its Gmail, Google Voice, and FB Messenger. The apps aren't even syncing. I have to manually go into each app and tell it to sync.
I've had Gmail and GV sync for a little while after a ROM flash, but it never lasts more than a half hour or so.
Any ideas?
Not sure what rom u are using, or if you are using titanium to restore apps... but try settings>apps>gmail (or other apps) and choose to clear data, NOTE: you will have to re-sync accounts by going to settings>accounts and sync and enter ur info. your contacts will disappear for a short time while it re-syncs. its worked for me on previous devices after flashing a new rom, not sure if it will work here....
Check what kind of Internet connection you have: settings>wireless&networks>more>mobile networks>acces point names. The one working is net.
Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.
I tried moving the gv app to /system/app but it didn't fix it.
Make sure you aren't disabling sync via the power widget.. it sounds obvious but it happened to someone

Similar problem here as well. Google Talk only seems to give me a notification when I turn the screen on. Just got my gnex last week and running stock jb now (only rooted).
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.
