Just wondering if anyone has been or is having issues with their Gmail accounts? Whenever I use my gmail app, I always have to refresh a few times and then it displays any new mail. Nothing ever comes in by itself. Now my 'synced' account through the HTC mail phone accounts does show up immediate emails.
So I am guessing a problem with the new Gmail app? Should I delete the app and reinstall? Thanks,

Which version of gmail are you using currently?
It's probably your settings. But i'm not sure what you want. Are you saying you don't want your emails immediately or you do?
If you aren't getting them immediately then do you have Background Data and Auto Sync checked? As well as when do you have it set to sync?
2.3.5 version
I am want my emails to automatically sync! There should be no reason that I have to manually refresh my emails every time I log in. I am fully snyced on both of my gmail accounts (bus and personal) so not sure whats up? I just redid some of my sync settings so hopefully that will work.

If that doesn't work you could delete gmail app and search for gmail 2.3.4.1 online. Get the apk and install. Make sure updates are unchecked in market afterwards.

So, I use the "EMAIL" app to handle both my work exchange and gmail account. I like that it's combined. Can I delete the GMAIL app on the phone but still have it sync the gmail information (contacts, calendar) via the accounts menu? I'm trying to avoid having the gmail sync in two separate places.
Settings/accounts/gmail, uncheck gmail. Not sure if you have tried that already or not.

I thought about that but I was worried it not syncing the "EMAIL" box. I suppose it shouldn't affect it, as there are separate gmail sync settings in that menu. I'll try that.
So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

just flashed the latest darkside from, after about ten minutes fb pics started showing up by my contacts

I just downloaded the friendcaster app and that seemed to work great. Thanks.
If anyone knows of another way to sync contacts please post.

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

I just tried that app last night and it worked good. All my contact pics are synced and I don't have to have a big program on my phone.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

Haxsync in the app store will do it.

You could try adding the fb account under settings. Or delete the account from your phone and add it again.

I like manually syncing my contacts and updating my Facebook contacts... So I've always leave auto Sync off.. But i messed around with it the other day and really like getting my emails synced automatically.
But the drain with having everything auto Synced is a killer.. Is there a way to just have my email auto synced or push notification and have everything else manual?

By the way I'm using the stock Gmail app if that helps

Go to settings, scroll down until you see Google, click on that, then click where it has your email (at the top) now check everything you want auto synced and uncheck the things you don't.. I only sync my contacts and email
