[Q] Not receiving Gmail Notifications - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have looked up this problem and tried everything. I have cleared the data, forced stop, rebooted, and even uninstalled the app but nothing. The only time I receive those notifications are when the app syncs. I have everything turned on in the Gmail settings for notifications I just really want notifications to work. Thanks.

The only time this happened to me was when I flashed Clean Rom 3.0 (back then) the first time. I found that nothing was syncing except only when I manually pushed. I got frustrated and just did a clean re-flash... all was good (never had the problem since). I am not exactly sure where the issue was so I just chalked it up as a bad flash.
Edit: Just realized yes, it was a bad flash when I re-installed google apps with Titanium Back Up... The clean flash installed from Play Store : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077310&highlight=gmail+sync+issue

Settings > [email protected] > Sound & Vibrate > uncheck "Notify once"
that should make your emails come to you instantly whenever you get a new email. if it's something else, you would just have to clear data like the poster above mentioned, and then go to these settings again.

[Q] undo latest Gmail update

I need to know how to roll back or undo the newest Gmail update. It's screwing up notification stuff I have for Gmail. I had a widget to show me unread emails (SMS Unread count) but now it keeps force closing if I try to make a widget for Gmail. I know its not an issue with the SMS Unread conut app because it works fine for making widgets for phone calls and text messages. Also, with the latest Gmail update, GoLauncher no longer shows me unread count in the dock, even though the setting is checked to do so.
Uninstall from marketplace.ah my apps
Or menu settings applications manage applications downloaded push gmail app clear data cache force stop restart

It's already there. Once you uninstall the update, the old version will be there. You may need to reboot.
Is this due to the latest G-Mail app locking the mail database to outside apps? I just ran into this as well and had to uninstall the update too.

ohhh.. is that what they did??
Also doesn't support zip attachments. Cant save em or view em. Don't like the update.
Once I change .zip to .bin it shows up fine
thanks. unfortunately that option isn't available. seems i'll be stuck with this until gmal releases another update.

Contacts FC-ing

My Contacts application is suddenly force closing every time I want to activate it. I think it is fc-ing after the new WhatsApp update. When I checked my contacts within Whatsapp, it suddenly fc-ed. And from now on it is fc-ing all the time.
Allready removed the app, data, (dalvik) cache. I even installed a new rom (which I wanted to do anyway ). But then again, after restoring everything with TBP: Force Close.
What do you guys suggest I can do? It is now becoming quite annoying.
Run fix permissions. That fixes a lot of FC

Already done that. Didn't help either.

Didn't you install app with contacts sync lately?
what about clearing data on contacts and people and then resync to grab them back?
Last thing I remember is that I've installed the new update from Whatsapp and that is when it crashed. I already did uninstall WhatsApp, but still a FC. Already wiped all my data from contacts. Seems like everything I tried, failed.
Also delete all data from Contacts.apk.
Okay finally I found the problem. Google+ and the contacts of the app seems to cause the force colsing. Uninstalled Google+ (since I'm not really using it) and everything works fine!

Facebook notifications come back

I have to disable notifications on the Facebook app at least one a day. Sometime after disabling it, I will get a Facebook notification. I open the app up and sure enough notifications are turned back on. Does this happen to anybody else? Any way to stop it other than removing the app?

Do you have auto sync turned on for Facebook?
In the Facebook app i have unchecked sync. I don't even have it stop in my accounts.
I get no FB notifications, and everything is turned on. I have gone as far as trying the BB trick, and it did not help. Been trying to solve this for days.
The Facebook app for Android has ALWAYS been a piece of @#$%. I've had the settings change on me as well, or randomly the contact sync screen would open when I click on the app. I'd try clearing the app data and then making your choices again. I also noticed that even though I have the refresh set to never, my messages still come through immediately as well.
I may just completely remove it and install Friends caster.

[Q] Gmail android app not syncing back to gmail.com

Last few days (must be since the last update was rolled out on Nov 15) my gmail app doesn't sync back to gmail.com. I get updates from gmail.com (new emails, etc.) but nothing I do on my phone gets sent back to gmail.com. I also can't send any email from my gmail app either; they sit in the Outbox forever.
One of the improvements in the app is "Improved sync and outbox behavior"
Anyone else having this issue?
had this twice after restoring the app with titan i think. after deleting the gmail data it worked again.

You rock! That totally fixed it. I went into the Settings | Apps | Gmail and hit clear data. Gmail started loading up all the messages again and now sycning works properly.

My Phone is Galaxy S4:
On mobile network only my Gmail app was not syncing automatically, gmaps was slow, youtube was not working or really slow and Calendar wasn't syncing either.
After looking on the internet I was not able to find the solution. I have tried everything that was simple like clear cache, reboot, sync OFF/ON ...
Solution:
I tried the APN reset solution: Setting/more network/mobile network/Access point name/ reset to default. I did it and also I have found that google services had the check mark ON for restrict background data. Setting/data usage/google services
I have never touched this option before so I don't know why it was checked. After these two steps my phone works perfectly now.
I hope this could help someone..
Thank you

Android messages showing blank threads?

So this happened after the app update...wtf is this?
I have this same problem. I've noticed that it happens after I've used the Amazon music app. The only fix I've found was to force stop the Amazon music app and it clears these blank messages. I'm now on Android 8.0.0 and had this issue as well with the latest Android version 7, I was on. I have the Pixel 128gb on Verizon.
Its a problem with android messages
Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon music app running in the background anymore. Previously, when I saw the prompt that Amazon music was running in the background, if I started the messenger app, I got those blank threads and as soon as I force stopped Amazon music, the blank threads disappeared. Now, they stay and just go away on its own. Even with the recent update to messenger 2.5.211, it still does it.
It's definitely an issue with messenger.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.
I have this problem also after restoring the sms with the sms backup and restore. Basically the messages are there but I can't see them, only those ghost threads/messages and I cannot scroll down on the message list to see more of them.
same problem. here is what i did.
I downloaded hangouts and manually set it as default app for sms.
Then i opened up hangouts and went through all the threads that messenger wouldnt show.
Then i went back and forced stopped messenger, cleared data, and set it back as default.

Unfortunately the hangouts is not supporting sms anymore and is though unable to be set as a default sms app.

i have no idea why i had typed hangouts, must have been late. i meant to say verizon messages.
I got it working. Just disable the messages app and choose yes when it asks if you want to go back to factory app. Then clear cache and data and enable the app again. Then you can view all the messages. After this updating the app through play store is also safe and the messages remain visible.
