Has anyone been having issues with their Gmail not sending emails?
I have tried to send emails but I keep getting the "sending..." notification in the email header.
The syncing icon in the taskbar just keeps spinning.
Ive tried to reboot the phone, etc.
Nothing.
I"m on Caulkin's ROM.
This is really frustrating as I use my phone for work as well and it delays my response times to important Clients.
Thanks!
Yeah experimented that a couple of weeks a go and dont know what of the 3 things I did was the one that worked:
1)Go to settings/Applications/Manage Applications in there go where the gmail app is (Downloaded or All) and clear the app data
2)If it have been updated in the market search for it in your apps in the market app ...uninstall it and reinstall
3)The last option is to use Root Explorer to go to system/apps delete the gmail app there and from other source paste another copy of the gmail app
Hope it works

I had the same issue on a stock rom (rooted). Turned out it was an app called Seal that was the culprit.
I learned that whenever I restore a backup, I have the clear data in Gmail or I get the same issue.
Not sure if it's the same cause for yours but clear data and send a test email. Pm me after, I'm interested to see if this works

Yup.
That's exactly what did it for me.
I went from UnNamed over to Caulkins last week and did a Titianium restore of my app+data.
Cleared the data in Applications>Gmail. That did the trick.

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.
I searched in this forum already, but couldn't find this.
I'm having issues with sending emails with the gmail application. They just sit in the Outbox with a sending status. I've checked the sync settings, refreshed both from the sync section, as well as in the app. I even tried just text, as well as using attachments. And, no, they're not being received either.
I'm currently running the leaked OTA and the new radio.

yeah, try reinstalling the app and/or clearing data/cache

Uninstalling fixed the issue. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I had done the same thing earlier, so restoring it from Titanium Backup may have been the issue...

That makes sense. I use titanium as well but don't backup up any of the google apps cuz they come preinstalled in roms. Pleasure to help ya bud.
My fiancee's Dinc quit syncing overnight. I've had her running Optimized Shift for almost a week now with no issues. Then this morning she work up and her gmail wasn't syncing? I thought it was a rom issue, but I will try reinstalling gmail and see if that helps.
Also, her phone doesn't seem to save text messages as drafts on this rom, as it did with the stock rom. Was this left out of this rom or am I missing where they are stored?
Let us know how uninstall/reinstall works.
I haven't used stock messaging app in months but I believe drafts are saved under Menu>Drafts in all versions from Sense 1.0-3.0. I'm on a Sense 3.0 rom with 3.0 messaging app but I think it's the same in your rom. I know mine used to have trouble saving drafts with no Sender but I know it worked fine if I had a contact in the Send box prior to saving the draft.

Are you saying Menu > Drafts, from within the stock messaging app? If so, that's where I thought it should be...but it's not, for some reason. These are drafts already addressed to a sender, in an ongoing thread. I know with the stock rom, she could do Menu > Drafts, no problem, but the options appears to be gone now. I believe optimized shift is Sense 3.0, but still, I can't imagine they would take that option out.
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.

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...
I replied to an email using gmail app and now its stuck on "sending".
I tried a reboot but no luck. Any suggestions?

Remove the account and add it back?
Clear cache and data for Gmail app. I've had this happen a few times.

I've had this happen before as well, and sometimes I think it might be something on Google server side, like it can take longer than usual for them to send an acknowledgement of reception? Idk.

Force Close the app and reopening it also does the trick if you do not feel like clearing cache and the like. It will work for a few and be fine then go right back to doing it.
Yeah, I've gotten this on pretty much every Android device I've owned. Pretty common problem and I wish Google would fix it. I just force close, clear cache..then resend.
will this happen with the other email app that came with this phone?
And how do you clear the emails cache?

settings/apps/find Gmail click on it and you can clear cache from there
I've had this happen a couple times before too. The first time, I didn't even know about it until my sister mentioned she never got a reply for so and so email even though I clearly remembered replying to it a week before that. So I went into the app and looked at my outbox and there was about 7 or 8 emails stuck in there that couldn't be set.
Made me a bit mad to say the least. And a year later, we are still having this issue.

I only ever had that problem with stuck outbox when I had a battery saver program "juice defender" running. Works perfectly ever since I stopped using and uninstalled the battery saver app. I read in another thread that those apps do more harm than good.
+1 to clear cache and data
I have had this happen, in over a thousand or so sent emails, four times, it was the same day, and only on 3g trying to send photos as attachments for work.
This has never happened when on wifi. I want to clarify that I use both gmail and the samsung included email app (I like it better for multiple gmail account usage for a few reasons I wont go into here). The samsung app, though it takes longer to load emails (even on wifi) I just like the feel of it better. Gmail sending is usually instantaneous, both apps have been super stable for me, I have adjusted their settings to run to my ideals, which includes hourly pings.

Hey, can someone shed some light as to why Clear Cache button is greyed out in the Gmail application? All I have is Force close and Uninstall updates. Everything else is unavailable.
Thanks in advance.
I have had this problem recenlty, I had to remove my account from the phone and add it again. It even stopped downloading new emails....smh
I think it's google though not the phones
Is there a way to delete messages by date? I've tried backing up and restoring them using SMS backup and restore and set a date but they all came back. If I try to delete threads my phone locks up. I have about 20,000 texts
I wish there was a way to see them through windows explorer and delete them that way... I can't get anything to open. Ah!!!
If you use SMS backup and you use your gmail to sign in. You can go into gmail from your comp.(probably your phone) abs you can delete them by date that way.

That's a copy though. My phone has locked up and had to been forced off like 6 times now. There are too many to delete it just freezes. I set a limit in go SMS days ago and it never deletes any. This is ridiculous.
And now go SMS pro won't open either. And the phone can't force close it. The whole thing just locks up wtf.

Wait. How many SMS programs are you syncing to? You said SMS backup. Then go SMS. ? Do you have backups to both?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
SMS backup & restore makes an XML file on my external SD. Go SMS pro shouldn't be backing anything up.
I use the stock app to send MMS because go uploads it to their servers and that creeps me out lol. But the stock app CANNOT handle that many texts being there.
Go is working a little better (I can send a text) now that I went in recovery and cleared cache, davik and fixed permissions.
I still think I need to try and get rid of old texts but every time I try programs just lock up.
Have you tried History eraser?
Or delete data for it. Just dump them all.

Well I have SMS backup +. It syncs all my SMS, call logs, etc with Google. I don't have any XML in my phone. Whenever I restore my phone I DL the app and sign in and hit restore and it pulls it from my Google account. That's what I was showing you earlier. But I'd have to test if it actually syncs when I erase from gmail to the app.

History eraser or historyeraser?? I'll try! But I don't know if it'll work. On SMS backup & restore I hit delete all messages and after an hour the little circle was still spinning.
Can someone please tell me where the texts are stored. Any app just freezes my phone and I have to reboot.
I'd love to watch you drag this along for two more days but I think I speak for everyone on this site. Just factory reset your phone and get over it.

That would have been extremely moronic to do. I just deleted the SMS database. I also got in touch with the backup & restore people about batch removing texts from the XML output.
What a stupid suggestion.
Hey man I've had this happen to me. It happened when I would flash a new rom, and didn't turn off the auto delete after 200 and then restored my 7k texts... Honestly once in a while I'd get lucky and be able to usually... I had to re flash the ROM. Haven't found a better solution yet
