First, I'm not talking about the Facebook app. As most of you know, Motoblur can hold a Facebook account and can show you Facebook messages when they come, but those messages will show up almost an hour after the regular Facebook app does. I was wondering if there was any way to make it sync faster? I have been searching everywhere for it.
After flashing Adeo fb never would sync for me and the motoblur account couldn't be modified. I remember it saying I couldn't delete the fb account w/o factory reset. I did SBF, GladRoot, updated & ran AfterUpdate to retain root. Now my social networking syncs properly again, something about Adeo broke it. It works so well I was getting duplicate notifications back to back for fb messages so I disabled notifications for messages on the fb app.

No prob, if you want you can feed my thanks meter haha. Make sure you dont restore any system data with TiBU, another user said his mb account was not syncing after a tibu restore.

What you said seems to be working. It is definitely synching quicker than before, not as perfect as I'd like but nothing is perfect about Motorblur haha. Thanks for the tips!

I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.. my gmail app won't send any emails. It just says "sending" forever. I'm using a rooted vibrant on stock 2.1 rom, with JAC's kernel.
There have been a few people myself included experiencing this sporadically but I haven't seen a fix or a reason why it's doing this just yet.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
I have yet to be able to actually send an email via Gmail on my phone. I can receive them all day long, but the times I try to compose a message, they just say "sending" forever.
Also, I have noticed that when i receive a message and delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from my Gmail. I have to log into the webmail or use my desktop.
I'm running the stock rom, rooted.
I used to have this happen on my g1 frequently, haven't had it happen on my vibrant yet though. Typically when it would happen on my g1, I would go into the google apps and clear all the data. Couldn't just do it on gmail either, had to do the other google apps too for whatever reason, then it would work again.
Good luck, it's pretty annoying.
Try k9. It's a bit slow at times but it's pretty solid. Best email app I've found yet. I use it for msn, live, gmail, yahoo and my company email.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in the stock email apps that came with this phone. I think they're kinda garbage. Apparently my Sidekick '08 was better for that, not to mention the lack of IM.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time. I chalked it up to the gmail servers having issues. But as soon as I plugged in the charger the emails went out. Maybe if battery is low it won't send email? It didn't tell me it wasn't going to send them, it just didn't send them.
I find that I have to go to gmail and manually send each one from the outbox, they still say sending but they actually do send after doing that, because the recepient always says they get it.
So for example, if you send a pic from gallery, make sure you go to gmail after, go to the outbox then click on the mesage and then click send.
* To get to outbox go to gmail then click menu > labels
Sucks but works till we get froyo yo
i'm on a Samsung captivate running the leaked jh3 firmware. It's rooted and running SuperRooter and circle clock.
I noticed that after reflashing to the stock jh3 gmail would send
After installing superrooter gmail would send
After installing circle clock gmail would send
But after I backed up apps with titanium backup it stopped working. I think TiBU is causing an issue for me.
Anyone else have TiBU in your problems some how?
Update: Got it working
I did this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.
Now it works!

This fixed it for me as well. I am unsure of what caused it to not work in the first place, though.
nice, clearing cache/data worked for me. i was gonna reflash my phone to stock and start from scratch. this saved me a ton of time. +1

my gmail is having the same issue as here, has anyone found a better solution to the problem then clearing the data as that deletes the currently stuck sending gmails.....
also I cant do the process above if its in a conversation, does anyone know how to open a sending gmail when it has all the other responses attached to the top of it??? that process onnly works for individually sent mails, not "replied" mails that bring other messages with it into the outbox.
anyone know how to detach it from the others or even open the data files to remove text using some sort of tool???
bump for some possible resolutions to force the message to send and or view the message to copy text...m even a wayto view data from it so clearing data wontclear message tryingto be sent???
please got a long, important email i need sent...
Seriously doubt this is just a Vibrant issue as it would happen A LOT to me with my MT3G. So far, knock on wood, it hasn't happened with the Vibrant.
I have the captivate running cog2.2 and deleting the cache under "manage applications" worked for me. I was going crazy! Thanks for the help!
I have Titanium Backup and actually had to restore my ROM with ROM Manager and a couple of apps from Titanium Backup and developed this problem. Clearing data and cache under the Gmail App and Storage + Reboot fixed the problem.
Danger
I too have been having issues with emails (and now SMS?) messages stuck in "sending..." mode. I had several emails from a month ago that I just now noticed didn't send, so I backed up gmail, cleared data, restored the emails and tried to send them individually. On the plus side, my emails did send.
On the minus side, some of them had pictures and my phone took the liberty of sending the wrong pictures from my camera (I was "sharing" pictures from the camera app). So to be safe, just delete the emails!
Dangerzone!

Okay so I tried posting this in the general section and I didn't really get too much help. I tried calling Motorola support and the guy was talking to me like I was stupid. What happens is I get two email notifications in the notification bar. One with the y! Symbol and one with the @symbol. Every time I get an email both of these notifications pop up and this used to not happen before. It seems like it should be a very simple fix. Yet I haven't had any luck fixing it. Anyone else with this problem

I'm assuming you have some yahoo mail app? Hence the y!
You should be able to turn off notifications for either one of those. Just pick which app you want to be your main email client, open the one you don't want to use, hit the options menu button (the left-most soft button that has 4 squares on it), and disable notifications and you could probably tell it to never check for messages/sync.

Is there supposed to be a yahoo mail app? because i just see that blue email app. And under accounts and motoblur account, it shows the email with the @ icon, the username is blocked out and im only allowed to enter a password and when i do that, it says please enter a username. I can't delete that account
I dunno man. the only thing I can think of that would use a notification that looks like y! is some yahoo app. check all your apps in the app drawer and look for anything yahoo related.

I had this same problem and couldn't get around it. I created the problem (I think) by using Titanium Backup to restore the email/messages. It was after I re-flashed the retail sbf to get root on .57. I reflashed the sbf a second time and didn't restore from Ti (only restored apps plus data). It turned out Motoblur kept that info anyway once I logged in after reflashing. (the email account was there).

It was a few weeks back when I did this so I am a little hazy but it appears that Moto must populate the email fields on the phone from their server level. If I recall correctly my 3 accounts (one exchange, one pop3 and one gmail) were all there after I reflashed and just logged into Motoblur after the second reflash. The Ti email/messaging restore must do something to corrupt the pop3 accounts. Like you, I couldn't figure out a way to get rid of the account and just re-enter the data.

This bugs the hell out of me as well. I get two different notifications when I get one email from one source. One is the @ red stamp looking icon, and the other is the standard gray envelope. I'm on GingerBlur, and I've been looking for a way to get rid of one or the other notifications and can't find where to remove one of them.
There has to be a way to do this other than a re-flash.
Oh, wow didn't see this thread when I posted in another one. I suggest checking universal inbox or other all in one messaging apps to make sure there aren't multiple apps notifying you about email, since just on the phone are 3 email apps, one for Gmail, one for yahoo, and one for all of them.
Also if you do decide to sbf, get titanium backup and do a batch backup of your apps, and then redownload titanium backup and restore the backup after you sbf. It made things much easier when I sbfed.

Please understand, I DO NOT WANT TO SYNC MY CONTACTS WITH FACEBOOK!
It totally messes up the sync, puts wrong info with the wrong people, etc.
So I go to settings/Accounts and Sync, select Facebook and turn off Sync Contacts. Then I delete all the garbage and the mess Facebook has made of my contacts, use MyPhone Explorer to force Outlook to my Contacts and all is well until.... a reboot will somehow turn it back on! I'll get the message in the notification bar about linked contacts, click NO! HELL NO! and then go look at Settings/Accounts and Sync and the Sync Contacts is back on. Sometimes I catch it before any notifications have come up, sometimes I catch it before it's messed up my Contacts but not always.....
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the 4th Android phone that's had this bug! I've run stock ROMS, Froyo Roms, Gingerbread Roms, currently running rooted with a Gingerbread Rom. it doesn't happen with a BlackBerry or WinMo device, it doesn't happen with Google contacts so it's not the phone, it's not the Android version, it's not T-Mobile or VZW, it's a fault of Facebook or the Android Facebook app, how can I fix it?
Or am I the only one with the problem?
Did that for me to with an older version of fb. I deleted HTCfb with TB, and fb, then installed fb from the market, now it only has one synced option instead of like 5 or whatever it was before, and if I unchecked it it stays that way on reboot. I also deleated a ton of other stuff off my phone with TB that I don't use, so im not sure if something else may have helped that.
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
Thanks, I may have it handled. Maybe.... I left the sync box checked, deleted the categories Facebook had mis created in my Contacts list. I've rebooted several times and all seems to be well. Initially I had to dismiss a couple of paired suggestions but no more have popped up.
I'll delete the HTC Facebook and the Friendstream app if it continues to mess up.
Yea, I deleted all that crap, and backup manager, news, stocks, mms, tell HTC... Everything I don't use on a daily basis, and its much better now, not so much clutter and things trying to connect or hog recources and drain my batt, lol

Has anyone else noticed that Google has recinded their facebook syncing capabilities with the Photon 4G?? I had to do a data wipe on my phone and realized that even though I logged into my Facebook account, it will not let me join Facebook contacts with my Google contacts.
If I am mistaken that they have done this or if I am missing something (which I doubt) please let me know. Thank you.
I don't know if they killed facebook syncing but it does take a long time sometimes. I just wiped my phone too and going through the rebuilding process...
Unfortunately, when I try to add my LinkedIn account, I get "An internal error has occurred, please try again". I've tried numerous times (with the correct login info) and still no luck. GRRH!!!

I flashed the latest SBF update and the LinkedIn problem went away!!!
UPDATE: Although the LinkedIn connection problem went away, my FaceBook contacts are NOT syncing. Not sure what's going on here.
Same issue here. Temporary fix is SyncMyPix app.

I recently restored an amora backup & now I can't send email from my gmail account, but it receives it just fine.
When I try to send one, it says "sending" in red letters but never sends it.
I tried to delete the account & redo it, but it's telling me the only way to delete the account is factory reset the phone.
NVM, I got it working

yea, that's what fixed it but I had to do it three times before it worked for some reason.
plus, it made me change my gmail PW which really pissed me off because I have had that PW forever & I like it (I don't care about security in my gmail)
Whatever, it's working now.....
I have this same problem. I went to clear data and got a little nervous about the message it gives you about deleting stuff. It only deletes stuff on phone like downloads and password info or something, not emails, right? I know that's kind of a dumb question but I never used email on my last phone and want to be sure.

Yeah, it'll just clear the app data. It won't actually delete any emails from the Gmail server.
