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.
Alright, I have a truly annoying problem with Galaxy Nexus. After every month or two of use my phone loses completely the ability to connect to gTalk and push cloud to device messages. I'm not using any strange apps either and have not installed anything for a while.
My connection bars become grey and before someone suggests that this is an account issue and that 'I have lost connection to Google servers' then no: bars are only grey on Galaxy Nexus when gTalk and C2DM fail. Bars are grey but I can still access Market and Gmail and my phone still syncs Calendar and Contacts.
The only solution so far has been to completely reset the phone. Which is an epic annoyance. I've tried re-adding Google account and no success there either.
What can I do without having to reset my phone again?
So there is no solution whatsoever? It is impossible to fix this without having to reset the phone?
I ended up resetting the phone again and it is truly annoying, since this problem happens only after a month or two and nothing triggers it and the connection does not return even though sync with Google accounts works perfectly.
Might the problem be that I change my SIM card whenever I visit Finland and Google has some unknown security flag that blocks C2DM when same device is using different SIM's frequently?
Because this is insane and I feel like I can't do anything about it.
Don't have your problem, bars turn grey here every now and then but always go back to blue after a few seconds.
Two SIMs might certainly confuse the syncing. Go to Google Dashboard and make sure your phone is listed there. Only the IMEI is listed in Dashboard, though. In the Market it also lists your provider and number, I think.
Obviously you have checked all your accounts&syncing options in the ICS settings?
Rebooting and switching to airplane mode oder WiFi and back does not work either?

Nope. It's happened three times now since I've owned the phone and I've not installed anything fishy, nor do I run any monitoring and task manager or battery saving apps. I basically run all Google services, as well as Twitter, Facebook and some games. I haven't recently installed anything new.
Airplane mode did not work, WiFi or Data modes had the same issue and reboots made no difference either. Internet itself works, auto sync keeps working and Calendar, Gmail and Android Market work exactly as expected. But gTalk and push notifications stop working and do not return even in 24 hours.
The only thing that I do know that I do differently from an average user is that I switch SIM card either for every weekend or every other weekend when visiting my girlfriend in Finland, since I'm using a pre-paid SIM there (that also has data connection).
I don't have any sync or push notifications problems when using either SIM and both have an unlimited data plan. But after about 1-1.5 month suddenly gTalk and push notifications stop working entirely.
As a result I am keen to think that this must be about the SIM card switching (it happened after SIM card switch or close to it), but I don't know how to fix this. Phone reset does work, so it is certainly something that has not got anything to do with my Google Account.
I even tried clearing data and force stopping all Google-related services and apps and rebooted then. It asked for my account information and whatnot again, but the connection stayed grey while other Google account related services were running without issues.
It's a serious pain to reset my phone every month or two.
I am convinced that this is a bug in Android and reported it here.
Hello
The last few days my email application has been acting up.
Seems like it is on constant sync and using battery like a madman.
I have used it on push on my exchange-mail for nearly two months now without a problem. But a few days ago i started seeing the sync icon in my taskbar all the time.
I have tried adjusting the syncing times to much lower intervals but still uses battery like a madman.
Any good suggestions how to solve this?
(Cant post image due to low postcount, but it has a 40% hog of the battery)
I remember this happening every now and then when I used the HTC Mail app. I'm assuming that's the one you mean? It has a few quirks.
What I found stopped it was force-stopping the app, clearing cache and rebooting. If that doesn't work clear data too, but you'll have to set your e-mail account back up.
I have the same problem when I'm on Wi-Fi in the office. I thinks it can't connect to the mail server due to the firewall and just keeps on trying to connect. Albeit not the ideal workaround, switching off Wi-Fi and using 3G/H for a couple of seconds usually works.
this happened on mine a few weeks back, i cleared the cache and data then restarted the phone input my email address back in and all was fine
Hello All
I have a GNex "yakju" updated to Android 4.2.1 (stock, non-rooted). After the update, I have seen that Android OS started taking a big chunk out of my mobile data plan, around 40-50 MB per day. Previously, I'd hardly see any usage from this process.
I have started to investigate this behavior by using tPacketCapture. So far I've managed to see a lot of traffic to google servers (173.194.35.163) and the hourly exchange server sync, but it's encrypted and I don't know how to extract the TLS key from the phone (not sure if it's possible). In one hour there were about 3.3 MB of data transferred (I'm running on 2G to conserve battery), with no background applications.
Right now I'm rerunning the test with Auto Sync Data off, to see if it's not some malware, but it's highly unlikely (almost all my apps are from the play store) and will rerun the test with Backup to Google turned off.
Anyone got any insight on this? I could post the pcap file somewhere (I've scanned it and I'm pretty sure there's no unencrypted personal information in there), but I don't know if it helps.
P.S.: I've seen a lot of similar threads on here but they relate to other phones, and the majority of suppositions were hinting towards the bloatware of the stock ROMs
Turning off sync should do the trick.
But I do hope to hear from you.
So I turned off sync and it seems to do the trick (only ~200KB in one hour and all traffic was from a facebook app that does not obey sync rules - flipster). I don't like having sync off since it means no more notifications for new e-mails, facebook or contacts, and also these services were turned on before the 4.2.1 update.
I'm trying a new run with sync on but disabling everything that I don't care for (photos, google+, backup, currents, notes). Looks good for now (~56KB in 10 minutes). I'll see what happens.
Another odd thing I saw in the initial run - data came in chunks of packets roughly 7 seconds in between (a lot of packets, including SSL handshake, at 300 seconds, then a few packets, then a lot of packets again at 307 seconds, then at 314 etc.).
Monitoring, will post results ASAP

Maybe you've already done this but have you tried going into the sync settings for you google account to see if any of the services are failing to sync? For me the browser sync had been continuously failed for 2 weeks before i realized it.
I did have some issues with calendar and Google Photos (I think) not syncing, but I thought it was because I cleared the cache of Google Framework Services in an attempt to get the update to 4.2.1 earlier. Not sure if it helps, since I don't remember seeing any sync errors these days. I've stopped Browser sync now, I'll see how my data usage changes.

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy
