[Q] Gmail Margin Problem with Gingerbread ROMs - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else have problems with the right margin in Gmail, where there's a good-sized gap of whiteness? See the screenshot below to understand what I'm talking about. It happens to me just about on every ROM that is based on Gingerbread. I can rotate my screen to landscape mode, then back to portrait, and it's fine. But, when I close Gmail, open it back up, it happens just like what you see in the attachment again. It totally sucks.
Thoughts?

Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Nothing? Wow...
Just for the record, I have tried the following gapps with various Gingerbread ROMs, and these do experience the right-margin issue in Gmail.
- gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
- gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
I've never had this problem running the following ROMs...
- Virtuous 1.0.1 (HTC Sense)
- GingerVillain 1.5 (Gingerbread)
- all Froyo-based ROMs
Just hoping someone has a simple fix, tweak or anything to get around this problem. Thanks.

What's causing this and how can it be fixed? That's what I'd like to know.
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Not many people running gb yet, but I bet all gb users are seeing it.

I don't have this problem, not sure if I ever did but if I did, I didn't notice it. I'm running a rom that's based on a CM 7 nightly after RC2, can't remember exactly the version. First try to go in to app management and clear all app data for Gmail and see if that fixes it for you.

I've done all of that on various CM7-based ROMs, and it doesn't help. Running a ROM based on HTC Sense (i.e. Virtuous 1.0.1) has zero Gmail issues whatsoever, so it's apparently related to Gingerbread... or something Cyanogen related. I just wish that stock Gingerbread comes out soon, one that is truly AOSP based and not filled with Cyanogen. I have nothing against CM in any way shape or form, I just want to have a taste of PURE Gingerbread.

I have had problems with several verisons of gapps but this works for me : gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip

Tried flashing the gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip you suggested, and I'm still experiencing the same problem with the right margin in Gmail.

did you do a full wipe ? maybe that works.

Of course I did that. I always do a full data/cache/dalvik wipe between ROMs. I don't have this problem with non-Gingerbread ROMs.

I got the same problem

Who else is experiencing this issue?

okay so I got the same problem with my nexus one. x10,desire ž and desire hd on cm7. I'm not sure if its supposed to be this way but it's quite annoying once you notice it

I am also having this problem with Gmail on CM 7 nightly 30. Honestly I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. Only seems to happen with text though.

CM6 9/12 and 9/13 result in reboot cycle

How come I'm running the 9/5 nightly and now when I want to flash the 9/12 or 9/13 nightly I am getting a reboot loop without it actually booting up. Luckily I have a nandroid backup because if I didn't I would be screwed. I'd like to update to a newer nightly but I have no way of doing it with these constant reboots. Can anyone suggest something to me? I've tried all the wipes before updating and nothing is helping. I'm running RA anon 1.7, no modified kernel or anything like that. Newest radio and newest PRI/PRL.
Again, as long as I restore my nandroid everything runs like cake but I do like to update my OS and this issue is bothering me.
Thanks!

i as you are, am experiencing the same issue. Now... out of curiosity can you flash the 9/6 nightly fine? that was the last nightly i could use that booted, everything else just bootsplash loops.

I haven't tried it but I would wager yes. It seems as though 9/6+ contains a new kernel that our phones don't like

I think it's a bigger issue than just being a nightly if the kernel is that crazy for EVERY nightly from 9/6+
No issues here with 9/11-9/13, other than my YouTube app when using v7.6 Turbo? Which I still need to figure out.
granted its something kernel related, using snap, i can then use the latest nightlies... only problem is, i dont want snap >_> i want cm kernel, oh well cant have it all am i rite? lol.
ill try again next week's nightly.

[Q] Is Froyo 2.2.2 officially on its way?

Hi,
I know this update that corrects the sms bug is out but will it be available on the official OTA Desire not branded?
Thank you.
Good question.
I can't see why HTC won't push this out as surely it can't impact the sense UI - but i have a feeling we'd be better off waiting for Gingerbread...
I wonder if anyone has mailed HTC support (not that they'll probably get a decent answer, but it might be worth asking)
Thing is, though, the bug has only happened for me in a non-Sense ROM

A non-Sense ROM can run Froyo (take MIUI for example)!
I often send sms to "unknown" persons for my job (to remind them an appointment), I realise they didn't receive it when they're actually missing this appointment. That's a bummer!

I'm using CM7 since #18 and I've the same data connections problem. It always works after a reboot but after a while, it's not working anymore. No problem with the Sense stock ROM
I'm surprised some of the 2.2 devs haven't incorporated the fix into their 2.2 ROMS yet. It would be nice as I know someone with the bug. A GB ROM would have to have the fix as well! So look for an updated version and that the dev has applied it to their ROM.

[Q] Just Rooted

So I installed the cyanogenmod 7 rc, do i have to activate my phone after?
It should be activated...
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
No. It is already activated. Now you just have to learn to respect a ROM that is buggy and not finished.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I installed the cmod 7 rc from Rom manager and when I install an app from the market it would force close on the first open but it works fine after uninstalling and installing again. Should I do a factory wipe or something? I have a few other questions too. What's the most stable Rom with the new sense from the desire z or hd? I have more but I'm gonna sleep now. Thanks for the help. I've done this sort of thing with the psp but I guess that isn't really that hard compared to this. Thanks for the help,I hope one day I can be a developer or something.

- Normal. That is a common bug in that release, only hope is to wait for a new release and that they fix it in the next one (that is if you want to keep flashing the nightlies)

They're most likely much more stable than the CM7 ROM you're running now- however since I haven't tried either of the above ROM's I can't really compare or comment on it.

The sollution is to wait patiently for developers to fix it.

Well then that is weird.
Is it a common issue for that ROM? Anytime you see an issue like that it's usually not app related, meaning switching to a different camera app isn't going to fix it.
But it could be kernel related. Are you using a third party kernel or the one that came with the ROM?

Flash another ROM after a full wipe. See if the problem remains. If it does, flash back to full stock using Odin.
If it still persists it's a hardware failure.

-flash the room
-boot
-flash gapp

After that Sistem wizard is stop working. What can i do please help @Chromium

Ok, i was just talking to someone that was having the exact same problem as you and it turned out that he wasnt properly doing a full wipe.
You need to format everything other than the sd. In 4ext the option for this is in wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)
Make sure you do this.

1. Users arent really having to go through much trouble. The only difference now is that you need to reboot in between flashing the rom and gapps.
2. By slightly breaking the setup wizard, I seem to have been able to fix the WiFi bug where it would get stuck turning on. I would rather have better working WiFi that I constantly use, than a perfectly working setup wizard which I only use once. Im sure the majority of other users feel the same.

VPN Issues
Greetings, I have installed Beanstalk 4.4.2 on my 4 years old Desire just few days ago. So far so good, it is great, fast, it really revived my smartphone. But ...
What is the reason no form of VPN works on it? I have some prepaid solution and its app doesn't work. OpenVPN doesn't. PP2P/L2TP solutions don't work. Is it system bug which needs fix or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for answer.

Sorry to ruin it for you but camera will not be fixed with K3 release, if it will be released anytime which I highly doubt anymore. It is a matter of unreleased sources and libs by HTC, so the best we will get is what we already have, camera-wise. So long story short, if you want fully functional camera and video recording, GB is the only way or that chinese ICS released sometime ago.

So if I want fully functional and fast HTC Desire I should go for Mild Wild or pure CM? What is the difference between cm based and redux based MW? Thanks.

I would recommend Mildwild MW rom based on redux2.

They're just slightly different ROM bases. Install both, see which one you prefer
It's the best way to find out, unlike recommendations without justifications as above..
Remember you can maximise space much better with either of those ROMs as they into smaller hboots
CM version will fit into cm7r2, redux should fit into oxygenR2, check the threads.
