Gmail help - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gmail....
My gmail shows in the count that I have 5 messages unread, but none show in the gmail app, but will show if I go on my computer.
How would I reset, or resync my email to show, it's very annoying
Thx

Have you tried removing it and then re-adding it, if possible?

I suppose you could try (from home) settings->applications->manage applications, find "Gmail storage", tap it and choose "clear data" and have it re-sync from scratch.
(It may not be "Gmail storage" - if you don't have that, do the same for "Gmail". If you do need to wipe data for Gmail, just note that you may have to go back over the gmail settings to change any settings that you may have customized.)

I've had this happen to me a lot in the past, mostly when I restore a NAND. Really the only thing you could try would be to wipe Dalvik and flash gapps. However when this happens to me I usually do a full data/dalvik wipe (not a factory reset, but wipe from recovery), reflash the ROM and gapps (if the ROM does not come with it baked in, i.e. CELBfroyo).
I can't attest to the first option, I always go for the wipe and reflash just to ensure a clean install.

I just recently restored from a cm7 rom of tazz's, flashed back to tazz floyo v5, same thing happened again. The counter in my gmail app counts messages that are coming in but never show. I go to computer to check gmail, they are there. Anyone find a fix yet?
Please help, very annoying...

New market app updating

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,
SF

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

Just found an easier way : I moved vending app from /data/app to sd, pushed it back, changed permissions and rebooted and everything is fine. Thanks for taking time to answer

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. I know how to get in there & change the permissions. What I was wondering is how they need to be set. Is it RW-R--R--? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't have to do this very often & want to make sure I do it correctly.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

Problem updating apps in market 2.3.6

I recently got a replacement Atrix 4G phone because my old one died. Was still under warranty so I got it for free of charge from AT&T.
My old phone was rooted, unlocked bootloader version 2.3.4 GB US AT&T.
My current replacement phone is unrooted with a locked bootloader. Basically its a stock ROM phone but with the latest GB version of 2.3.6.
The problem is my apps are NOT updating from the market. It detects updates but does not update. Gives me the "download unsuccessful" message on the app then goes back to the list of apps to be updated.
I tried the old trick with clearing cache/data in Market and Download Manager, still doesn't work.
Any advice? Tried searching for this issue in the forums, but nothing.
bump for help
Have you tried clearing your google information by clearing the data from the gmail app under managing applications?
Then you resign in and let everything resync by itself.

The only other thing I can think of is to unlock bootloader, root, and flash a ROM to see if that changes anything.

this also happen to me a few times and clearing cache and framework didn't fix it.
I resolved this by removing TB (probably already removed and you are trying to install back in). I then use RootExplorer to manually pushed the TB apk in system/app. Reboot phone. Once installed, go to G Play and update to newest version if you don't have it already.
Had to do another full wipe after just doing one this morning!

not necessarily true, you can install an older version of market to fix it. Worked for me as a last resort

I've gotten this error before when i changed my password on my account via my admin account (google apps for domains) and google would than lock my purchase ability in google wallet until i proved its me because my admin account changed the password and had possibly taken over my account on me..

That works temporarily, when the market auto update itself, it comes right back. Trust me, I tried
The guy above's post reminds me of a fix, wipe the cache of the apps, market, etc. Then log out of your google account, reboot, wipe them again then sign in back into your gmail account, should fix it.
He's right just remove your google account and add it again it should fix. Had this happen to me 2 days ago.

Some of my apps are disappearing after updating my rom?

I installed the Common Sense rom about a week ago, and when I updated it to 1.2.1, I noticed some of my apps were missing. Among these was Uniwar HD, as you can see in the attached screenshot. I got this from the Amazon Appstore and figured it might have just been because of that, but a couple of my apps from the Play Store were gone, too. Anyone have any ideas of what could've caused this?
If it helps, my Evo 3D is the CDMA version with Hboot 1.5 S-on.

Did you just try re-installing it? Did you do a full wipe when flashing? Is the app moved to the sd card?

I couldn't find it on the Appstore for whatever reason... It was a FAOTD just a few days ago, too. I didn't wipe before flashing, and I believe it was in the phone's storage.

How bout some help from the dev of this Rom a full wipe is required with the upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2.1 because I had to make some data/app changes to sort some bugs out. I recommend wiping everything (except sdcard) twice, and then flashing the Rom, that way no bits and pieces from the last version are there. From 1.2.1 on, you won't need to do this though.
If you haven't tried wiping the cache and dalvik-cache already, do that and see if it works. If not, do as I mentioned above. If you still can get it, send me a pm and we'll sort this out

forum.xda-developers.com returns blank page on stock android 4.2.2 browser?

See title. This happens with the homepage but not subforum or thread pages. Also the thread suggestions thing wasn't working when I made this thread, and ads are not showing (no big deal you say--but I didn't do anything to disable them and it's just odd). Everything seems to work fine in Chrome, but I'd rather not use that because of the bloat.
I dunno if it has always been like this or I screwed something up? Been playing with Greenify and Autorun Manager...
It happened to me too. (4.1.2)
But after I re-flash my ROM, it show as per normal.

Thanks I guess! It worked... but I lost all my data (duh). What I did not expect was losing all my bookmarks and even my connection to my google account from the stock browser. And I don't see any way to add accounts to the stock browser so haven't found a way to get it back. Help? :crying:
Edit: Wait, I fooled around in phone settings - >accounts and re synced my google account and the bookmarks came back. Yay! :victory:
Still, is there a less *destructive* way to get buggered pages to load properly again?

No no no you weren't supposed to wipe your data cache. You were suppose to go to system settings ---> apps---> downloaded apps--->XDA and clear the data and force close the app only. Sorry I wasn't more clear
on that point.

Yeah, well I was having trouble with xda loading on the stock browser, so I went to system settings->apps->all apps->browser and FCed it and cleared its data. Pretty close to your instructions no?
Can't imagine the havoc it would have wreaked if I wiped data in recovery without some backup
So as I was saying, pages load wrongly from the stock browser (or heck chrome even) every now and then--is wiping browser's data the only way to go? I tried wiping cache first but no joy
