Hey! I have a rooted Thunderbolt (Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, using Imo's 2.7.0 leanKernel), but I have the LauncherPro app and I have my dock display my calls, messages, GMail, as well as a shortcut to the browser.
When I installed this about three weeks ago, my SMS notifications used to work (when I get a notification, a little red notification bubble came up next to my message icon, which was customized, and so are the rest of my dock icons), and then it stopped working - once I installed SMS Go, it started to work again for a bit, and then stopped.
So for two weeks I sort of just accepted that, and then for some odd reason my GMail notifications stopped working... I would get e-mail, and it would say "Inbox (1)" when I click on the GMail icon to open it up, but to see it I would have to refresh and then it would pop up and then if I went to the home screen, the notification bubble would return. These notifications used to be instantaneous; I sent myself a test e-mail and waited for hours, and after doing several test e-mails, I realized sometimes (not all the time though) the application, even after an hour, was not recognizing I got mail until I refreshed.
I tried changing setting to check mail often, made sure on LauncherPro's preferences I set the notifications to be on... I am just unsure why my notifications would stop working (and my GMail is slowly going to crap - I even uninstalled and reinstalled, did not help).
Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions for this weird problem? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - does anyone have any suggestions? I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling GMail again with no success.

Check under accounts to make sure that sync is still on for your Gmail account.

Go into Settings > manage apps > all. Open the Gmail icon. Click on "clear cache " and "clear data ". Ignore the warnings. Return to home page, and open Gmail. It will resync, and your problem should be solved.

I've had gmail bug out on me about three times total dating all the way back to my OG droid. It always happened after flashing a new ROM even with full wipes. My situation was a little different (basically if I "deleted" a email in the gmail app it wouldn't actually delete. It would never resync to my phone but I still would get a x amount of new messages. I would then log into my gmail on the pc and there are all the messages that I had "deleted") I solved this once by just clearing data and cache, but the other two times I had to do a wipe and reinstall. What was interesting though is each time I back upd my current Rom and used that on the restore and bam it was fixed.
Is there any way I can change the frequency of when the GMail app checks mail/forwards them to my phone?
through the gmail app itself no. You could use the "mail" provider on the phone and receive gmail that way. In that program you (i think) can set up the frequency that it syncs. A couple of downsides to this though:
1. unless it has changed since I haven't tried it since the OG droid, it won't delete emails off your web based account only your phone.
2. you would need to delete the gmail app on your phone.

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.

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!
bee tee dubs, I'm using Axura 2.2.9.0
I've been having this problem for a few months now and it crosses multiple ROMS.
I have my work email sent to my Eris using a POP3 account. Sometimes it works fine and will automatically download my messages at the set interval. More so than not, when I open my email it's trying to load messages and the little status circle keeps spinning away. The emails never download. I typically go to menu / account settings / incoming settings / and click next. Sometimes it works and my emails will load but normally it will prompt a force close. When I open my email after the FC it will load my messages. then a few hours later it will stop auto loading them again. Sometimes my email works great for a day or two but then back to the same problem. Most days I have to go through the menu steps each time I want to refresh my mail.
This first started happening when I switched from CELB 2.6 to 2.9. I've tried multiple version of CELB, Nonsensikal and Froshedyo and all still have the same problem.
I always wipe both factory and dalvik multiple times when flashing a new ROM.
I've also started removing any data on my SD card offline between wipes so the card is empty for the new ROM.
One thing I also noticed is that when I flash a new ROM, the wallpaper I used for the last ROM always appears again with the new ROM. And at one point when I switched from CELB to Nonsensikal, my trackball still lit up for all of my notifications. Nonsensikal shouldn't light the trackball for SMS.
Any ideas on what I can try to completely clean out my phone so it works properly??

Have you tried the app K-9 Mail in the market? It's a much better mail client, IMHO.

If you don't want your settings and apps to repopulate when you fresh install a new Froyo ROM, skip setting up your Google account when you go through the initial setup. Then you can give your credentials the first time that you open the Market app, and you should have a default install phone - no downloaded settings, no downloaded apps.
There is also a question that's asked as you go through the setup that asks if you want to back up your settings. I can't remember if saying no does not restore anything that is stored. However, I do know that if you do not authenticate at setup, you won't download stored settings and apps.
Thanks for the info Doogald. I just downloaded K-9 and will give it a try for a few days to see if it helps. I removed my account info from the stock email just to be safe.
I didn't realize it was Google saving my background image along with my apps. It's not a problem. I just wasn't sure if it was related to the email issue.
My wife got this phone over this past weekend. The stock email app is not updating. She never receives her new emails on her phone. So I downloaded k9 app and it worked the first day. Now it is not syncing with her yahoo email account and always says she doesn't have any new emails. She can login to her email on a computer and has several new emails a day. Any ideas?
Im assuming youve been through the basics? Making sure mobile data is on, settings are set correctly in the app for refresh times, background data enabled, no task killers/managers running, etc.
Check Settings / Accounts and make sure the account(s) are set to sync and that they're allowed to sync in the background.
Although this may not be the answer to your issue,I had a similar experience w/the G-MAIL app recently.I tried everything,including downgrading to an older version of it.
I consulted w/other users & compared settings.Mine were identical,but,still had to manually refresh to see the new mail in my inbox.
The only thing that resolved this issue was a factory reset.Works fine now.
Additionally,while having this issue,I was unable to access the DATA SAVER settings page.When I selected it,it would just flash,as if it were trying to open,but,no can do.
Weird thing is that I only messed w/these settings on one occasion,when the phone was new,just to check it out(no need to limit data on an unlimited plan,right?).
Anyway,after the factory reset,everything is back to normal.
Just goes to show there is no perfect phone,O/S,or app,100% of the time.
Hey everyone, new to the DNA (bought last Friday) and I'm totally a fan. The phone is awesome. However I'm having an issue where I'm having to manually go in and sync my Gmail to the phone. It doesn't automatically pull the Gmail down. I've made sure that sync is set to auto and that all the correct boxes are checked.
Currently stock running 4.1.1 (Software Number: 2.04.605.2 71ORD)
Gmail App Version: 4.2.1
Any help would be greatly apprciated.
Thanks,
Brocja01
That's pretty weird I don't have any problems with gmail sync. Do you maybe have an app installed that is controlling sync times ?
Edit: I'm also on stock btw.

I thought maybe it was the sync notification app you install for Nova, so I un-installed it and rebooted. Still not working. I'd hate to have re-install everything.
I think you covered this in your first post but have you actually gone into accounts under the normal android settings and made sure that your Gmail is supposed to sync?
It sounds stupid but it's somehow happened to me a few times where the Gmail sync box was unchecked.

Nope, it is definitely checked. I'm wondering if it is something with my account. My nexus 7 isn't syncing either.
Try going into settings and apps then clear the data for gmail and then open the app back up to let it log you back in.

If you suspect it your account (which is unlikely), check on your computer to see if it syncs.
I'm getting emails on my computer just fine. It is just my two devices that I'm not getting mail on. Factory resetting my phone this morning, will see if does anything.
I've also added my secondary gmail account to the device and that one syncs, if I send an email to both accounts, i get a notification for my secondary account but I don't get one for my primary account. Any thoughts? Would this be something to hit google up on? Is there a number I could call?
Did you try clearing the app data like I suggested? This has happened to me before on different devices and clearing the data always fixed it for me.

Most definitely tried that, also factory reset the phone. Trying turning the auto sync on and off a few times and that didn't help either. It is the craziest thing. Which I could figure it out.
Obvious things to try that I'm sure you kick yourself if you forgot any one of them:
- Under the specific account settings:
- Notifications are indeed checked?
- Gmail sync is on
- Manage labels, Inbox and any other important labels are set correctly?
- Days of mail to sync are set to ~30 days?
I think those are probably an exhaustive list of on-phone options that would preclude syncing.
Yup, went through all those settings. Multiple times.
Did you hit the setting within the GMail app specifically?
I recently went through this because of the Snapdragon Battery Guru app. It shut off my GMail sync and I had a hell of a time finding out how to put it back on.
I had to open the Gmail app itself and go to:
Settings > [your email account] > Notifications (check box)
Settings > [your email account] > Gmail sync is ON
If that's not it, then I don't know what else could be the issue.
I am thinking that during initial setup you said NO to background syncing so just check this ..
Settings -> Accounts .. -> Auto Sync (SHould be ON)

definitely check that! i went a day without emails, and any notification. i thought it was weird, but didn't really pay much mind to it. then i noticed that i'd only get my whatsapp messages when i actually opened the app, i checked for autosync. somehow, it was off. it was working fine all along, and i have no idea how it got turned off. everything has been fine since, though, so definitely double check that
hello everybody,
I have been having issues with Gmail App (stock from Play Store) for a while now and I have reached a point where i am seriously thinking dumping it from the phone. Why? Notifications of new emails do not appear in real time - I can be fine with 2 minutes, whatever.
So i have tried all the "recommended steps" from the useless Gmail Help Section, clearing cache, resetting the app etc. Still, the issue persists, at times i can see emails sent to me like 2 hours ago, that you can only see when pulling down the menu.
I do have quite a bit of emails in sent like 4000 emails but it's not millions and should handle that yes?
I have just NOW removed completely gmail app, uninstalled updates, restarted the phone and re-installed it and updated it, and same thing again.
On the other hand, the emails sent with the Samsung Stock Email App works beautifully, emails are sent and received, say if you email yourself in matter of seconds, that is using my own server of course.
So, is there a way to fully reset / flush / reinstall / reinitialize the Sync system onto the phone for Google stuff (have also tried to tick untick stuff, nothing)? I don't have root access but i can do stuff on it.
many thanks,
Gabrio
and here's a real world example. sent an email from my outlook account, first one came immediately - great, then sent a second one and didn't show up. it's already 10 minutes past that.
and here's how the sync section looks like
