[Q] GMAIL Counter Non-Existent? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know I'm still old school w/ counters. The regular email counter works fine but the GMAIL app doesn't show any counters. I was certain it did at one point. I cleared cache/settings, disabled, rebooted - nothing.
Others have this issue too?

Bumpity bump.

[Q] Looking for better email app than stock

I had a bit of a debacle with the DI18 Gmail app yesterday. I received a really important email and replied to it promptly through the Gmail app, hit send and then took a nap. Two hours later, I wake up and see that my reply was STILL SENDING.
Even worse, I checked my Gmail on a computer and it said the email I replied to WASN'T EVEN READ.
So I flashed the ACS-modified DK28 and it seems to be working better, but now it seems the most important calls I make are MUTED on the other end, and they still connect.
So I'm left with a dilemma: is there a good working email app (Gmail or non-Gmail) out there that just WORKS??? (I've tried K-9 Mail but I didn't really like it) Or should I stay with the working DK28 version and have randomly muted calls?

Honestly there are not many alternatives. You already tried K9. I am not having any issues with calls or gmail. Not sure what is going wrong on your end. Did you wipe everything before flashing?

Yes, I did a complete wipe.
I remember I always had a problem with sync in stock DI18 for some reason, like when I first got the phone. (Actually, on stock DI18, there wasn't even an option to sync my Google Calendar on an account that had one.) That's why I started working with roms and rooting and etc.
Are you using exchange?

No, I'm just using Google accounts. Sometimes they work, sometimes not.
MailDroid is a good option.
I was having the same issue. Make sure auto-sync is checked in Setting->Accounts and Sync. If that doesn't in the Gmail app you can go to your outbox and manually force the email to be sent.
I like the galaxy tab one

Yes, Maildroid is good but it has an ads.
SEVEN is a push type email app that I've been using since my 755p days, back when it was packaged with my Treo, it was called Sprint Email...but it was created by SEVEN. It's not downloadable from the Market, you have to goto SEVEN's website, click on their beta program and then jump through random hoops until you can download it. I had it on my Moment and now me Epic and I love it. I run 6 different email accounts, from Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, and AOHell and they all work perfectly, show images (from Harbor Freight ads for example) and even shows unique icons on the taskbar for each email account. Just make sure to set it up correctly, otherwise it'll do things like not check email during certain hours or on the weekends (a feature I'd never use) or below certain battery percentages. No ads and a great app, and it even comes w/ a beta IM app.

Unable to send gmail

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.

See if this helps

See if that helps.

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...

GMail Sending Issues?

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.

Gmail stuck on"sending"

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
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

[Q] -1 in my email app

I have a rooted stock Sprint S3 and just today after deleting emails I have a -1 count where it usually shows unread email in the stock mail app. I can't get it to go away. If I get new email then the count changes to the correct count but as soon as I delete them the -1 shows back up. I tried clearing the cache on the email app and rebooted (and removed battery/rebooted). Any ideas?
Thanks
Sam

Try clearing app data in the Exchange apk.

Thanks, I looked at the only exchange process lsited in all apps and the clear cache and clear data button are grey so it looks like there is nothing there to clear. Is this somethig I do somewhere else, and if so where?
You have a email from a long time ago probably. Change the sync to something like 200 days instead of 30. Then delete the old email.

I have it set to all (I tried 200 just to be sure) and still the same thing, I have only had hte phone for about 1.5 months so there can't be too much old in there.
I deleted the account and re-added it and the message is gone for now. Hopefully it will stay away.
Thanks for the help.
Sam
It doesn't matter how old the phone is it is a email. If it comes back try 300 or 400 days.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I am having this issue again, I was able to clear it last time by deleting the email account and re-adding it.
The issue isn't an email count that is still showing up from old emails but it is showing -1 for the email count (see picture).
Any ideas on how to clear this without deleting the account and re-adding it?
