I am confused. in past several months I tried bunch of ROM's and every sigle of them had gmail sending mail issues. Why google? They are same people who made android, and that is why I am expecting their app's to be smooth and better from others. Sometimes after seeing red "sending..." message mail stays for hours in outbox, no metter how many times you sync, refresh or even restart your phone (this happens mostly when replying but not limited to). Am I only one with this problem and why gmail (app) sucks so much?

Gmail version 2.3.4.1 gave me problems with Sense-based roms initially and I ended up reverting back to version 2.3.2, however, I didn't recall having that problem with the stock odexed 3.70 rom. Furthermore, I have no problems with version 2.3.4.1 using an AOSP rom, specifically Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. If you have the time, nandroid backup your current setup, download and flash the rooted stock 3.70 rom from the link below and then test your gmail performance.

This same thing happened to me. Someone on here made the suggestion of going into my application settings and clearing the data, and since then it has worked flawlessly.
Clearing the data worked for me on my EVO.....thanks all
I have searched and googled but came up with little more than nothing. I have temporarily gone back to K9 mail due to the lack of speed and response in the gmail app. It opens really slowly and then takes ages to open an email whether it is graphic packed or text only.
I have looked into finding a setting to only load a certain number of day worth or a number of emails like in K9. But there doesn't seem to be anything.
Does anyone know a way round this or would I be best to stick with K9 which I am quite happy to do btw?

My father has so many emails, it's insane, the Gmail app works fine for him and he is on stock. What rom are you running? Is it sense based? Don't run sense based roms.
Having an old gmail account with a whole lot of email only affects your phone's ability to voice search, evidently. He's had an account since near the beginning, and has a lot of emails, and voice search gets a "connection problem" every time he tries. There are thousands of others with this problem, no response from Google on the code bugreport page. Stupid
Don't really use voice search and have a couple of hundred emails. I'm running andro test 44 but its been like it for a while on various versions of GB and ICS. Obviously its a touch quicker in some respects on established GB roms but still not as fast as in the past. Just wandering if there is something that google have done to servers or the gmail app to bog it down.

Hi,
Yesterday the weirdest thing happened on my JB GNex for the first time.
My hotmail contacts and calendar entries have disappeared. Email is fine and using the stock email client with stock OS and unrooted International GSM version phone.
Anyone else experienced this & managed to find a fix?
PS. Temporarily managed to fix by going to settings/apps and clearing the data but next morning all disappear again...

well my girl friend had the same problem on her Galaxy nexus,
and every time i had to remove the Hotmail account and then add it again for the contacts to appear.
but it kept happening to her phone and it never happened to mine.
but after 2 months of this SH*T i decided to add her account to my phone so i'll have her contacts if they disappear and there is something urgent.
so i did add her Hotmail, and after 12hours this SH*T started happening to me too, even when i totally removed her account and mine.
it happens twice everyday.
the only thing i wanna do now is not just restore the phone to default settings, but totally flash a new firmware and clear all cache and try again but i have a lot on my phone to backup.
Wow that's pretty crap - temporarily, I cleared the cache/data under settings/apps which forces the contacts to reappear then did a local export and now I'm importing them at least once or twice a day...its the lamest work around ever if your workaround does work can you let me know pls?

Me Three
I'm (not) glad to see others are having this problem too.
I may be in the wrong thread running a Galaxy S2, but this recently started happening to me. I thought it was a combination of new ROM/Kernel (recently switched to Siyah 3.3.d) but have had this same problem with CyanogenMod 9 on both the Kernel they ship as well as Siyah. With Siyah running with Dual Boot and just a single ROM.
Clearing App data for Calendar, Calendar Storage, Contacts, Contacts Storage sometimes helps, but this is getting really annoying.
Does anyone know what the root cause is? I've considered going back to Stock Carrier ROM just to see if this keeps up. I've gone back to backups from weeks ago (when I don't think this was happening) and it now happens. Don't know what else to try.
Hey,
i totally restored to 4.1.1 locked back the phone just in case, and it still happened.
then i unlocked, restored to 4.0.4, no rooting, and it still happen.
i think my hotmail account got "infected" when i added my girlfriend's account.
anyone please help.
anyone has this problem with google mail ?

I've been having this issue too - from searching for answers it appears to be a bug with hotmail.
Some people have reported having success with changing the server to debug-m.hotmail.com, or xxx-m.hotmail.com (where xxx is the three letter server code assigned to your hotmail account). Neither of these solutions has worked for me.
I'd love to know what else people have tried.
I habe exactly the same Problem. Habe also tried setting up a different Server. Anyone Wirth a fix?

When I restored the phone on Fri I did it without restoring settings and no luck there in fact today its gotten worst I lost them already three times - this is sooooo annoying now...if its a bug with hotmail is certainly not affecting my mrs iPhone and probably not even windows phone either.

OMG.
Thank you guys SOOO much for putting this up. I thought it was just me!!!! I was about to post a thread of my own on this!
Yes, I've been having this issue all of last week. I thought it was my phone and or ROM configs. I can confirm that it's happening on all ICS ROMs. I tried 10 different ROMs, all 100% clean installs. As a matter of fact, I just finished loading Paranoid Android ROM, which is a JB ROM, in hopes that it resolves it.
My Hotmail account is set up as an Exchange account. Randomly, out of nowhere, all contacts, calendars, and emails are cleared, and it has to redownload itself. This is potentially disastrous as I depend very heavily on my Hotmail calendar.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening and what we can do to solve it?

After much research, it seems that this is a huge problem with Hotmail that started occurring mid May. I still haven't seen a concrete response from Microsoft regarding this issue.
Last night I deleted the email account under the stock email app and downloaded the free hotmail app from the app store...so far the contacts are intact ...if they disappear again I will update my post.

OK they disappeared again, apparently the Google settings have nothing to do with this, its definitely Hotmail.
So i temporarily imported my contacts and switched to gmail it was easy because i already use Google calendar i only use Hotmail for email and contacts.
I already tried switching the m.hotmail.com server but i read that some hotmail users where switched to new servers, so maybe this is the problem.

I have seen this happening on my wive's, brother's and my Galaxy Nexus.
All of us have updated to JB.
I have solved this issue with exporting my Live-contacts and importing them to my Google Account.
I will use my Galaxy S3 from now on and my wife wife asked for a new phone, she's more impatient but will get the S3 now anyway.
I think Google does not like Microsoft anymore due to latest lawsuit results.
Anywho I blame Jellbean. :crying:

I can confirm that this is a problem on all ICS/JB ROMs and is therefor not related to a ROM.
now suddenly even my calender items disappeared as well - this is getting really annoying now - will export/import them to google again until MS has sorted this out. anyone reported this already in a MS forum or blog? if not maybe we should do that.
I'm having the same issue here. I was having the issue with the stock ICS ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I rooted and flashed the BB Jelly Bean ROM but the problem is still happening. When I delete the account and add it back it syncs. But then the next day the contacts disappear. When I create the account I put in m.hotmail.com. But the next day when I look it says col-m.hotmail.com. I don't think this is the issue, but I also saw comments to try changing to this. It seems to be happening automatically.
Anyway, I noticed that when I go into Hotmail and edit a contact and save it, it syncs. I don't know how long that contact will stay on my phone. So it seems to me that it could be related to identifiying which contacts to synch. I tried changing the synch frequency but that didn't work either.
Does anyone know which Microsoft Hotmail forum we should post this?
- I installed the Hotmail Microsoft + 7 app. I now have my contacts again. I'm not sure if this will work long term. I tried using the app and it crashed, so I plan on continue to use the built in Android mail app. But hopefully the Microsoft app will allow me to synch my contacts. If this doesn't work, I think I'll import them into Google to have as a backup copy.

I've had the app since last night and for me all contacts and calendar entries have stayed put and not disappeared once. I will stick with the app for a while but would like to go back to stock app if/when fixed.

I posted my issue on answers.Microsoft forum. The only response I got was to install the Microsoft App. I also would like the stock android app to get fixed, but I'm not sure if the issue is with Android or Microsoft.

Same problem on stock 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I've got the same problem too on the official stock 4.1.1 Jellybean update. My contacts and calendar go completely missing and removing/adding the account only makes it work for a day or so and then it disappears again. Email still syncs fine.
As someone reported in this thread Hotmail is still working fine with their iPhone, and it is working fine with my Windows Phone... I'm pretty sure this is Google's fault. It makes my phone near useless, that's for sure.
This better get fixed soon! If someone finds or hears about a fix, post it here and let everyone know!
Ever since flashing the ROM on 12/12 I have not had my contacts sync. I'm getting the "sync is currently experiencing problems" notice. I've tried numerous fixes after Googling the message, nothing works. Has anybody else had this issue and successfully fixed it?
Not here, everything synced. AOKP, Dec 4
I have the same issue with the Google sync. I don't have a fix for you, unfortunately.
Although the sync page for all my gmails constantly says its not working right now, my emails seem to be working just fine. And I have 4 gmails, besides one Hotmail and one yahoo email account. But, if someone does know what's up, it would be nice to know why it is stuck with red spiral and not green.

I have the problem with the Galaxy S3. It's running stock OS. No third party contacts apps. It used to work. And then it stopped. Now any change I make on the phone does not get synced to the cloud. Very very frustrating. See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42641 If enough people star it, Google will look into it.
I'm all confused. Past couple weeks, my Google contacts that I have saved for months keeps dissappearing. I don't know what is causing this. I just lost 5 contact info. Text came in only with phone number showing from people I have saved in my Google account for a long time? Never seen this happen before. And keeps happening randomly. I have to reenter all these people to the contacts again. Please help. I'm not rooted. Nothing crazy. Just using the phone with TouchWiz no skin no odd apps installed. Only using SwiftKey keyboard. That's it. Anyone has any ideas please.?
It has been happening to me as well.
I don't know what's causing the problem, but I do know you can restore your contacts as far back as 30 days ago. Go to Google Contacts in a browser, click More/restore contacts. Choose a time to go back to, then click restore.

I have done that. But it's very annoying. Keeps happening. I never had this issue with my note 4 for two years. It started with Note 7. So, I thought to myself which apps I have started using that I never did with my note 4 that the app uses access to my contacts. Than, I had tweeter, what's app, Instagram as new apps that I never used before. I hope this helps. That's the only logical explanation I can come up with. Has to be an app that uses contacts access and somehow does not work with Google sync.
Are they just disappearing on phone, or entirely in Google? Check online on PC to see your contacts.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
they are gone from everywhere when they are gone! google, mail contacts, other devices. I think some other app sharing and accessing the contacts like tweeter, whats app etc. causing this.
