Why did Titanium Backup not restore calendar appoints?

(All better now...weird...steps detailed below.)
Ok,
I have been searching xda and google for a bit now. I just finished my first ever root and nand unlock. I even did a titanium backup before completing the procedure and have a copy on both the sd and my pc.
So I get everything all booted up...but my calendar appoints are not there, my sms's are gone as is my call log. When I went through the list of things to backup on Titanium there were lots of things for SMS/MMS and calendar...I backed them all up.
I did a batch install, when those things weren't there I went back and manually loaded the data for all things that said calendar and sms.
Still nothing.
What did I do wrong? If I start to try ROMs I need to have all that stuff back...all my data. I thought that is what Titanium Backup did.
Please let me know if that stuff still in my backup somewhere...how do I get it...or how do I avoid this in future???

Ok...my call log came back...but still no sms history
Also...I had to restore all my contacts from the SD card...but now they have no pics associated with them.
OH...and internet bookmarks are back to default?!?! Where are mine? (never mind...there they are...didn't refresh right away)
I must have missed something somewhere.

Email accounts?? Not there.

Try rebooting a couple of times and everything should come back. Also if you were synced to google calender every thing just needs to be synced once more.

that is pretty weird, your calendar should be automatically backed up by Google. try going to calendar.google.com do your appointments show up there?

Ok...seems it takes a few more steps than I was aware of...
Last night I went through all the red apps in Titanium Backup and manually restored data from there, but still didn't see any changes and screens were at stock layout.
This morning I powered the phone off while getting ready for that one hour of charging while phone off. When I rebooted on way to work...VIOLA!!!...every screen set up was back.
(I had read that widgets/shortcuts didn't get replaced on screens.) All my widgets and shortcuts and screen set ups were exactly as I had saved them. Dang.
As mentioned above it seems that another reboot was needed. (Not sure if the manual data restores helped or were redundant.)
But...I still had no email accounts set up. So just now I decided to try once more after three other google results say that it is supposed to restore email. I manually restored data from Accounts, Accounts and Sync, and the two Mail widgets.
Now I have my Email accounts BACK!!! Great thing, but spoiled by amount of work to get it...(since only two accounts could have just entered them in less time.)
Been testing out apps since my root and unlock last night and everything seems fine...the email accounts even just synced on own.
Crisis averted...well until tonight when I do all this again to flash the rooted stock HTC to see how that goes. Then fingers crossed I'll get to CM6 when camera issues worked out.

I am one of those paranoid old skoolrs....anything I can keep out of the cloud I am going to. So my calendar is only on my phone...not synced with anything else.
That is why I hoped that Titanium Backup would have it covered...turns out it might have...all the entries I can think of are back this morning.

Nandroid restore issues...

This is probably going to get confusing, but I'll try to keep everything clear...
I installed Chiefz 2.1 Build onto my Slide. I used it for a week, customized it, and then CM6 final was released on 8/28. I backed up my phone with nandroid, and then wiped the cache and data and flashed CM6.
I used CM6 for a week. I realized after a couple of days that I was not receiving google talk messages on my phone. If I logged into GMAIL and looked at CHATS, I would see all of the messages people were sending, and I just wasn't receiving them. I cleared GMAIL, and Google Talk cache on the phone, but this still didn't fix it.
I figured I'd post and see what people thought, but I just bought a new car which has bluetooth built in for calls and A2DP to stream music from my phone. I tried doing this on CM6 and it didn't work. I looked it up, and it is because bluetooth isn't supported in CM6. So, I backed up CM6 using nandroid, and then restored the backup I had done of Chiefz 2.1 build. Bluetooth works perfectly, but I still can't receive Google Talk messages. I cleared Talk, Gmail, and Gmail storage on the phone, but they still aren't being delivered. Also, peep is not updating...it keeps saying that my phone is refreshed, and if I refresh tweets it will say updated, but the last tweet I see is the last one I saw before I backed up using nandroid the first time...coincidentally it is Cyanogen saying that CM6 is done baking in the oven.
I cleared the cache for Peep, and it still wouldn't update. So, I booted back into nandroid this morning after 2 days of not receiving Google Talk or Twitter, wiped data and cache, and restored the backup again. Same issue still exists.
Why did this happen? I used nandroid backup so I wouldn't have to wipe, load fresh roms, and then customize all over again...

First, Peep isn't working for anybody. T-Mobile is working on it.
Second, your nandroid backup appears to be working just fine.

Oh.
What about google talk? Is this broken for everyone too?

how is this a nandroid issue and why is this in the wrong section?

You are not a moderator, so stop acting like one.
Google talk and tweet worked before the nandroid backup and restore, and both broke afterwards. Tweet appears to be a T-Mobile issue, and I'm trying to verify, at this point, that Google talk is as well. Otherwise, it is still a nandroid issue since that is the only change to my phone. Backup with nandroid, flashed a different rom, wipe, and restored with nandroid.

Gmail email delete problem

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.

[Q] Gmail native app not pushing emails

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.

Gmail app won't send email even after clearing data

I was having some problems with androids built in a2sd feature. Formatting and running a disk check seems to have fixed it.
This morning, I noticed my emails weren't getting marked read and emails weren't going out. I cleared data and cache in the gmail app. It marks emails as read but still won't send. I did a nandroid backup, still same problem. I installed fresh still had the problem...data wiped the app but no luck. Anything else I can try? I'm on myns warm two point two.

Had this issue a week ago; It was due to Gmail.apk residing in both /system/app and on my EXT3 partition (both were different versions)

i had this problem. i fan a fix permissions through rom manager. that didn't fix it (although it's a good idea to do it once in awhile) I went to settings > applications > manage applications > Gmail and I clicked Clear Data. started gmail back up, it had to re-log into gmail which only took a couple seconds. the email I was trying to send was no longer trying to send. I re-typed it, hit send and voila! it sent.
hope this helps.

I think it did have to do with 2 versions of gmail installing on the phone. That or there's something in my titanium backup that a2sd doesn't like. I just restored a few apps, no data, and that seems to have fixed it.

Had the same problem, clearing the data and re-signing in helped for me, too.
