[Q] Gmail notification fast on receive, "slow" on read messages - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, everybody
I'm quite new in here, even if I read this forum a lot.
I just installed the ROM MiniCM7 Pro (v18) on my X10 mini pro, and I absolutely love it!
Now, I have an issue with GMail, I never faced before: when I receive a new mail, the notification is immediate (faster in the phone than in the web). Then, I read the message via web, and the notification in the phone doesn't disappear: it still continues blinking the led for (at least) one minute...
I read somewhere in here that the solution is removing the data for GMail and "GMail Storage", but I don't have any "GMail Storage" in the app list: maybe this is the issue?
Note that I installed the GMail app from the market (rel. 2.3.5.2) since this is not provided in the ROM...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Marco

Set whether to recommend you to restore or re-flash the ROM to see if it will be back to normal!!

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I read in the ROM thread that this ROM has to be installed with CWM 4.x (provided).
So, I reinstalled, and the problem (seems) gone.

[Q] Lagging in Message app and while typing

Hey guys, my Hero just started lagging with FroydVillain 16.xx version. First of all I thought this was just too many programs, or something like that, so I decided to wipe my phone and install new CM version. But then I got error for wipine an ext. I was suggested try wipe ext via ADB, but nothing happend neither. So I just installed the ROM anyway.
Everything was working, but after couple days it started lagging again. The most sensible feeling with SMS's. Then I'm opening new SMS from notification's bar, it takes forever to show me the text. The same with conversations list in Message application. There is also a lag while typing (AnySoftKeyboard with Lithuanian Keyboard).
The same happend today after reinstalling FroydVillain 17.2 with new RA_Hero 17 recovery. Installion was made yesterday. Now I have ~100 SMS's, if it has anything in common.
Any ideas, guys?
This is my apps' list: appbrain.com/user/karolism/
Well for me if I don't restart my phone every few days it slows down, are you overclocked? if not it might help, also some applications might not close properly and drain battery and other resources and lastly the Hero was built with old technology when it was new (I read this somewhere a while after I got my phone but I could be wrong).
Thank you for the reply. Could you tell me more about overclocking? I'm new at this.

[Q] Gmail crashing when deleting emails

My Gmail has started acting up, and won't let me delete certain emails. I try deleting them on the NC, and the gmail app force closes!
Does anyone know how I can fix the problem?

Are you trying to delete archived emails? That's when I had the problem. Had to delete from computer.
I'm trying to delete messages from the inbox. Some messages appear to sync once, but won't sync again ever, so if I try to delete, label, or archive one of these stuck emails, the app either quits or backs up. I can delete them from another device just fine, but those specific emails stay stuck and won't go away.
As a temporary fix, I'm using K9 until I can figure out how to fix it.
I'm having the same problem, rooted stock 1.1. I found that this only happens on emails that are marked as read. So if I mark the message as unread, then I can delete it just fine. This problem only occurs occasionally for me. Doesn't usually cause the app to quit for me, just fails to delete typically.
Hope this helps.
I've found Gmail to be very unstable on 1.1. I've switched to k9 and am happy with it.
I had this exact same problem on my rooted stock 1.1.
The issue did not appear until after I updated CWM from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.1.0, including installing the kernel with ext2, 3, & 4 support. I was never able to determine with any certainty if the CWM update/kernel had caused the issue because even after restoring to a backup I had made prior to the update it didn't fix things.
I also tried uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it, but that didn't fix it either. I scoured the internet for a solution but couldn't find one. Eventually, I got so fed up that I completely restored to stock and took the opportunity to upgrade to Froyo. The problem did not carry over to Froyo, fortunately.
Nevertheless, this error shouldn't be happening on rooted stock 1.1 and it didn't for me for most of the time I used Eclair, so I'm not advising you to drop Eclair by any means. However, you might want to consider restoring to stock and starting over.
I noticed the same issue. Was not present when booted to Nookie Froyo on an SD card. I'm back to running the stock rooted OS, so I still see this GMail problem.
I'm just waiting for a good SD version of CM7 that has the market and soft keys preinstalled, preferrably that runs like it does on Nookie Froyo.
Anyone ever find a fix for this?
sent from my nook color using tapatalk pro
No, but the good news is that a stable release of CM7 (aka Gingerbread) is nearly upon us. I think pretty soon Eclair and Froyo will be obsolete as far as the Nook goes.
My solution to this was to mark as unread and then delete, the app no longer FCs if I delete that way.
However, not all emails seem to trigger this problem

[Q] All the Messages (SMSes) being threaded wrongly?

I have searched the web and found no discussion about it anywhere, leave alone xda-developers forum.
I have an X10i running on an Android custom ROM - CM 6.3.1.
I have a very unique and strange problem in my phone which is very annoying and causing inconvenience.
All the messages (SMSes) are being threaded wrongly and randomly. That is, an SMS coming from 'A' threaded to 'B'. B's SMSes threaded to 'C'. C's SMSes threaded to sometime A and Sometime B. And A's SMS create a new thread sometimes. An SMS coming from a totally new person or source threaded either A, B or C whereas they are not at all related anyhow etc.
This may sound unique and unbelivable but i am really facing this problem since a couple of months. Before that it was working fine.
The various steps which i have already tried but got no success are :
1) Wiped out the entire depository of SMSes and started afresh.
2) Reset my phone to factory default.
3) Tried different custom ROMs or different version of a custom ROMs.
I do not understand why the phone is behaving so strangely. A help from someone will be greatly appreciated.
Don't know if this would help but did you try using Stock super vanilla 2.1 just to see what happens?

Sorry.... but would u mind explaining what is Stock super vanilla 2.1?
1. Installed History Eraser app and erased app cache, search histories, SMSes, and call logs.
2. Uninstalled native Messaging app through Titanium Back up app.
3. Rebooted and then installed another popular SMS handling app - Handcent SMS.
The problem still remain as it is.
Anyone there to take the challenge.

[Q] Contacts app FC on 351 and 354

hi all I am posting this as an "official" question in this section because it's a known issue and it's not been resolved. this issue was briefly (and by that I mean "very few replies") discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055407
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or some more hints.
to sum things up:
- in a threaded sms conversation, upon sending AND receiving a message the small contact pictures (both yours and your interlocutors') flash one time (like if they were reloading: you can briefly see the grey android default "no picture" icon meanwhile). this didnt happen on elder builds, and when it happens the phone lags.
- it can happen from time to time that after this strange reloading the pictures won't load anymore and immediately after this, the app will loose sync with contact names too: you'll end with phone numbers anymore like if you had an empty phonebook.
I have found the culprit to be not the messaging app but the contacts app. when this happen, i "just" need to go back to home and tap the contacts app. sometimes it just displays a black screen, sometimes i get a FC message about com.android.process.acore. after pressing the FC button the app will restart and both contacts and messaging will return working normally (although still with the weird reloading thingy).
as far as things go it seems that
- hard resetting / wiping data does not help
- removing and re-adding the google account sync does not help
- it happens on 354 too
- not all users (very few, it seems) are affected by this
- there is no weird backup & restore voodoo procedure implied in the affected streaks
the small amount of users affected by this issue leads me to think we are, in some way, doing something wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated really. thanks in advance folks.

I've the same prob. i was thinking it maybe from my rom (simple streak 1.2) but looks like its not.
yeah it seems to be an issue related to android 2.2.2 (I didn't have this problem on stock 318 rom). I have done some more tries yesterday but I didn't come up with a solution. I even tried to desync google account, remove all contacts etc, and create a new test contact with random picture, well as soon as I insert the picture the problem reappears.
I forgot to mention it in the op but go sms pro seems unaffected.
Contacts app in StreakDroid 1.9.1 does this as well.
I'm going to try and roll back contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk and mms.apk from stock 318. I have checked the filesizes and they actually are slightly different.
well tbh I am 99.9% confident I will end up having to reflash my phone but oh well..
i'll report back!
EDIT: so here's the news. replacing apps didnt work. ROM 360 is still affected by the issue.
back to the drawing board...
