Wondering if anyone on the stock rom has seen this issue.
I have an co-worker who has an Inc2 that we got a little while ago and replaced after it took a tumble, so with the new one we were hoping this issue would be something easy to get around but it still happens with the new phone.
On any of his email accounts, he cannot download attachments. Gmail, exchange, comcast, anything... you tap the download icon next to the message and nothing happens. If you do it from his comcast, it says "download failed". I've tried it over 3g, over wifi, anything... and still get the same result. I have checked all account settings so it isn't set to "only download over wifi" or anything, and still nothing.
Anyone seen this?
I would check to make sure there's a mini SD card in it; kinda sounds like the kind of thing that happens when there's no storage present.

One of my first thoughts - sees 15GB, 13GB free from the SD card and 0.92GB free on the internal memory.
Tried a different mail program yet, like Mail Droid? Not an ideal solution but interesting to see if it works. I use Mail Droid only to read e-mail from my parents, because they use AOL and the stock e-mail program always omits the last few words from the message body of the e-mails they send me. Totally weird.
Haven't tried that yet, i'll have to give it a go.

I've just discovered that my Gmail app is not receiving or sending. I knew it didn't recieve a mail I got in my box at arount 10.30 BST (GMT +1) and even after a restart, it's still pretty dead.
Actually, I didn't get any emails since 05.21 BST. That was the earliest one this morning that I can check from my computer that I got. Yesterday, my Gmail app was fine.
I'm not sure if this is linked to Rob Pomeroy's issue but this isn't about Exchange ActiveSync.
Anyone else have this issue?
Yep, having problems also.
I'm in the USA and my Gmail doesn't seem to be syncing either..
It used to be I'd hear my phone been before I got a popup on my screen.. Now it's just not doing it's job.. I can click and make it sync, but it seems to not be pushing email to me anymore..
I am on TMobile, but on wifi..
I don't know what the deal is.. I haven't loaded anything new lately..
Same here in Germany.
Edit: Now it works. But it takes longer then normally.
Mine here in uk is not syncing, even if you try to manually sync its not getting any new mails, wonder what's up.
I had this issue a couple of days ago. Couldn't work out what the problem was, until I found out there was a known issue with gmail failing to sync if internal memory got to low.
I had about 4mb left, so i then tried deleting some apps until the low memory warning went away, and sure enough gmail started syncing again. Pretty ****ty issue to be honest, but hopefully wont be a problem once google let you install apps to the sd.
So if you lot have a low memory warning, try clearing some space, and hopefully the issue will go .
yes that was the problem for me, finding it hard to find apps i can delete got a good selection of stuff i use, roll on apps on sd in froyo.
My Gmail has been working fine, but then again I'm using Google Apps for Domains, so it is possible that the difference is there.

Yes me too. Started on Monday Tuesday this week (10th May) For no reason Exchange sync stopped worked and I couldn't receive any emails on my SIM unlocked Desire on Orange UK. Can still send.
Sorry off post as it's not a Gmail issue, but I'm looking for a solution - seems it might be and Exchange problem...?
According to the status dashboard (see here), Gmail has been having problems the past 3 days.
Note that this link is live, so it will move according to the date and current status.

Was just about to post my coincidence about having low memory, deleting Google Earth, low memory icon disappeared, and mail came in. Funny thing is, my GTalk had stopped working as well until I had more space! Now that one I have no idea why it is linked to low memory.
Come on, why wouldn't these things cache to SD card.
On another note, for some of the others still having this problem, I know I had it once before and it had nothing to do with low memory. I just kept on getting mail about 30mins-2hrs late. Then the problem just disappeared.
I hate intermittant problems. Too hard to diagnose since you show someone, then POOF!!! the problem is gone. You are left looking like a technophillic hyperchondriac.

I don't believe it!!! Why on earth couldn't it just pop up a little warning box saying "memory low, sync will halt until this has been resolved"? Or even better - use the bloomin' SD card!!
Many thanks to fozzy for pointing this out, I was on the verge of resetting my Desire until I read this!!
Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17
No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...
Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?
Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?
Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...
Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem
I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend
I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.
Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment
Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???
I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.
Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....
Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????
Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!
It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.
Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....
Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.
Hi a while ago i was trying to root my phone,so i copied the contents of two sd cards on to my pc,whilst resetting everything last time,and inserting the memory card with one of the images,all my messages returned again,so somewhere on the sd memory this lives,id rather not go through the process of transferring stuff off etc of my current mem card,so does anyone know the location of the data relating to messages?
I know it seems longwinded but if anyone knows id appreciate it as i need one of those messages
I am sure that SMS messages are not stored in the SDcard. They should be stored somewhere in the /data folder in the internal memory...
However, I think your messages came back from HTC sense account sync if you had one before you wiped everything.
Setup HTC sense account again and cross your fingers, if you have a sense account now, delete it a re-do it and hope that might help.
You are in fact a legend,that worked
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I really fail to see what HTC Sense Accounts were about. It was probably a major factor in me getting a DHD over the D (of course, now that I am running a custom ROM, I wouldn't go back!).
Anywho, they are meant to be able to track your phone, see where it has been, store all your messages etc. I set it up as instructed, logged in, ran through all the hopes, enabled all the right settings, and what happens? Nothing. 95% of the time when I try to access the site, it doesn't want to work. Also, it has only saved about my first 5 text messages.
In the end I find that using SMSBackup+ is the best thing to do. It allows you to backup all your texts/mms/call log to your GMail account.
Maybe it's just me, but I am thinking not as I have seen this on two notes and two galaxy S3 devices.
When using the native email client to connect to exchange (haven't checked pop email) email with attachments from the external SD card will not send.
The files attach fine, thumbnails are visable, then when you hit send it goes to the outbox, immediatly after a message will come up saying that the send failed.
If you move the same file to the internal memory and recompose your email it sends fine.
Can someone else try this and tell me if i am nuts, or if you have heard of this on any samsung device and know of the resolution please tell me. I have googled the crap out of it and there are threads like this for various other touchwiz devices. I have tried it on several roms including stock with no luck. It "may" be an activesync thing with my server, however I doubt it.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
I have tried sending to my work email and I can't send through Gmail from my external card either. I don't get the send error though, the attachment just doesn't show up at the other end. I copied the file to the internal card and it sent fine.

Very odd. I have read that as well on some other threads, but I do not have that problem.. I confirmed as I typed this. I have no problems sending attachments from external SD from gmail, just the samsung mail client. My procedure was to open a picture from the gallery and choose share, then gmail, then add a addressee and a subject, hit send. No problem, attachement sends, and I checked my other account and it arrived without issue.

The samsung email client will not work either way from the external SD, is this a known thing? Any work arounds?

Yeah I googled the crap out of it, seems there are about a dozen threads like this one for several different samsung phones dating back about 6-8 months that all end unresolved or no one has posted the solution. Thing is if it is that wide spread of an issue there should be alot more noise about it. These devices are business devices and using the exchange client is one of their primary function, that is why I would like someone to confirm that it works for them.

I just sent myself a test message with an attachment from the external SD card and it worked (exchange online/Office 365).
I started a new message, clicked the paperclip icon, went to "My Files", selected extSDCard, navigated to an image, hit the checkbox and pressed "Done". Back to message, pressed "Send" and it worked fine?
I also shared directly from the album, no issues that way either.
Just did it again with a 20MP image and while it took awhile on 3G it definitely worked.
Do you use certificates or anything like that in your exchange setup?
I can also say I mispoke when I said it was the SD card. Further testing reveals it may have something to do with MIME tipes. I.E. I can send txt files from the sdcard just not jpg or xml.
No certificates, and I sent myself jpeg files - in fact that's all I tested. Do you think the failure is on your phone at the email client level or at the Exchange level? It may be hard to tell. You could always spin up a temporary hosted exchange account somewhere else (many of them offer free trial periods) just to see if it happens with another provider.
You could also try another email client like enhanced email or touchdown.
Last step would be to (unfortunately) hard reset the device, set up Exchange again first and run the test again before installing any apps or making any changes to settings.

Had the same results twice last night and once today. :/
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using XDA Premium.
i just got my note 2 yesterday and use it for work. i love it so far but anytime i get a email in my work account with a attatchment, the attatchment shows as winmail.dat. i never had this issue with my gnex. any idea what is causing this?
This is due to an Outlook option.
You can read it with Winmail.dat Reader software on PC.
Your contact sent you a message with RTF Microsoft Exchange format and he doesn't have any program to read that format.
He has to go to settings > message format > select HTML or Text.
And you can have a look at this website: http://www.winmaildat.com/
the strange thing is i have gotten emails from people that i used to get them all the time from and it still doesnt work. i even sent myself a email from my laptop and it did the same. just double checked and my laptop settings are to plain text.
