Upon first use of my new Viewpad 7, I set up my Gmail account on the Email app. Then, later I got the Gmail (version 2.3) app from Market and installed it. I now am getting double (simultaneous) notifications. Ugh. I've tried to uninstall the Gmail app that I downloaded and installed, but cannot do so. In Applications / Manage Applications / All / Gmail, I can Force Stop or Clear data or Clear cache, but the Uninstall button~bar is greyed out. There are no additional menu options at this screen.
If I try to delete my Gmail account in the Email app, it warns me that this can only be done with a factory reset. Since that would eliminate the dozen or so apps I found and downloaded from Market, I don't want to do that. Why can't I uninstall the Gmail app?

When ever I flash firmware or do a factory reset, the apps are lost (ofcourse that is the behavior). But I was under the impression that when I sign in again and goto Market, I could get all the installed apps back. I was somehow thinking the apps I download (free ones ) are linked my google account. But it looks like this is not the case.
Any idea how I can sync the apps installed with my google account?
Thank you
You probably have disabled the option 'Keep my device backed up with Google' option when you did the Factory Reset.
Eventhough I enable that i dont get my apps automatically. Also problem is it syncs my google contacts. for me its a pain because my contacts in google are not really sorted so i had to always delete the contacts after sync then resync with Kies. this is kind of pain
Can you please check that under Settings- Privacy- Back up my data option is ticked or not?
A good alternative application is My Backup Pro.
Yes the options are ticked. I will check the app you have mentioned. thank you
Hello all,
just wondered if there is a way to remove calendar from the device?
I got 3 calendars
1) Google
2) exchange
3) yahoo
and the device
now i am only want the excange calendar.
Is there a way to delete the other two?
Thanks,
You should root your device and then use SystemApp Remover to uninstall them.
Open Calendar and go to Settings menu.
Under Calendars you can choose the calendar(s) you want to use.

There is just 1 Calendar, the "many Calendars" are just like several E-Mail-Accounts.
You can disable any them in your calendar-settings, you can not uninstall them, because there is nothing to uninstall, it is just 1 calendar-application.
Ok I have read that Gmail is not a very stable app, and people often complain it crashes, but there's a limit!
I had it installed by default, then removed it after root, then decided to install it again as I needed to check my mail more often.
Every time, every damn time I do ANYTHING, Gmail crashes. You probably know the usual message "com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly", I get it when I boot the phone, when I enable data, when I disable data, when I open the browser, when I close the browser, when I enable google account sync, when I disable it, and of course when I try and open Gmail. The fact is, the process crashes even when I don't use Gmail (I checked and it's not in the 'being used' processes list, but when I open the browser or enable data it crashes from nowhere).
I have already tried wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates (but for some reason it uninstalls the whole app), and uninstalling/reinstalling it several times, but I only managed to make it work ONCE (then after that unique mail sent, crashes again). Is there a way to stop this madness?
I have an Xperia Mini st15i with rooted 2.3.4 and stock stuff, if it can help.
Did you take a backup of the stock Gmail app before you removed it? Did you install that one and then updated or did you install directly from the market?
In addition, have you tried clearing the data of Google Services Framework? I read somewhere that clearing its data can help resolve issues in Google apps.
I don't have a backup of the stock one, I reinstalled directly from market =(. I'll try clearing that data then =)
Don't worry if you don't have the stock Gmail.apk. If clearing the services framework doesn't work, search Google for the stock Gmail.apk of your android version, install it, then convert it to system app and link it to the market using titanium backup and then update it. If you can't find it, contact me. Post how it goes.

I have installed the new Play Store 3.9.1.6 over the current Play Store and it works perfectly. I love that I can now delete all those tried but deleted apps from the All Apps List in the market.
Also the new Gmail 4.2 works. You have to be rooted and uninstall your current Gmail app, then reboot, then install the new Gmail 4.2, then reboot again. I used Titanium to uninstall the old Gmail app.
I think I have attached the files.

Thanks for the files. But after installing the gmail app, my Gmail widget is on constant sync, so it keeps loading again and again, wasting my data.. any suggestions...
My widget is not doing that. Might try clearing data and any cache then reboot again.
Apparently when you back up user apps through Titanium, sometimes this can cause notification issues. This is what I did with Facebook to get notifications to start functioning again. Your mileage may vary, but hopefully this will assist someone.
Go to Applications-Facebook (or app which is causing issues)
Clear data
Force stop
****This is Facebook specific****
Go to Accounts
Click Facebook
Remove account
Go back to Accounts
Click Sync Apps w/Facebook
Remove account
****End of Facebook specific instructions****
Uninstall FB (or app which is causing issues)
Use your folder explorer and remove everything that contains Facebook (or app which is causing issues)
****This is Facebook specific****
Go to web Facebook-Account settings-Security
Remove Active Sessions
Remove all Recognized Devices
Remove account
****End of Facebook specific instructions****
Reinstall App
****This is Facebook specific****
Go to Accounts-Add Account-Facebook
Log in
You should get a prompt in the notification area to sync apps
Sync apps
Remove account
****End of Facebook specific instructions****
Notifications should work
