Gmail bug/broken - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I'm stock unrooted. Up until an hour ago Gmail was working fine, now i can't even open it without crashing and flickering. Anyone else having this issue? It seems to be plaguing everyone commenting in the marketplace.

Try clearing data and cache for gmail. I am stock rooted and currently do not have this problem.

i did twice. I restarted twice. That's so weird. If you read the comments on the Gmail app in the marketplace a lot of people are having this issue. The only thing i did differently was download the new angry birds. I don't understand.

I found another forum where people are experiencing the same thing on different phones. It has to be Gmail updating their system. But i find it odd how it only affects certain users. I can't possibly be the only person with this problem who uses a note.

I am having the same problem on my note.

Yay I'm not crazy. Lol. Life hacker has an Article about it. Its apparently a coding bug that was recently updated. The only work around is using the default email app.

Hi guys, I have the same problem with HTC Desire!

http://groups.google.com/a/googlepr...ries/gmail/android/gmail/Cw1AKdxpj7c/overview
Here's a helpful group, apparently google is aware of the issue and trying to fix it. They're asking for you to post your phone model, software, and time the incident occurred.

It just occured to me this morning. Really weird...
I'll sync it up with the email app from now on.

the problem is still not resolved

No issues with any Google apps (gmail, +, maps, nav, etc.) for me on my note...

Same here, new Angry Birds Space is all I've installed and it's glitching like crazy.

EDIT: tried uninstalling the game, no help.

Gmail is working fine on both my phones
T989 and i717
i just received an email from my customer, after i sent her an email less than 10 min ago
i've been receiving emails all day at 30 min interval
i do have angry bird space installed on both phones

working for me again after about an 20 hour outage. This bug was really interesting considering it is supposed to be server-side but the client behaving the way it is.

Finally back up for me.

Yeah they do hat to allot of phones just download yahoo mail app.
There is a thread about this in the Thunderbolt General forums if you want to see what others are saying. But yeah, you're not alone. Mine stopped working sometime during the over night last night. So far everyone is downloading the Yahoo mail app from the market. The problem is on Yahoo's end I think someone said.

yes call tmobile and blame them. nothing to do with roms, is ur carrier's fault.
That's lame...I remember my G2 sending duplicate texts at first and that seemed to be fixed pretty quick...I guess I can't do anything but wait and hope

This happens pretty frequently..along with several other issues I just posted.
I have the same issue. Only happens once in awhile.

I have the factory Rom installed and get it from time to time. Don't think its a Rom issue.
I got them today...multiple times...I remember when my Motor Cliq kept doing it...I think it might be a T-Mo issue

Happened to me too. There is a thread over tmobile forum about this problem. So far, no answer from tmobile yet. I think it has to do with the phone. I never had any problem with other tmobile phones. I'm using bulletproof, but I don't think its the Rom. It's kinda annoying.

I received multiple texts on Tuesday. However, when I mentioned it, the person who sent the texts said her phone had been acting up that day, and other people she'd texted also received multiples.
I sometimes get multiple messages. I always get ATLEAST 3 of the same MMS message. VERY annoying lol
I was having this issue and what I found is that I had my contacts in multiple places (Some on sim card, some on google, some on tmobile contact backup, some on phone ect...) I deleted everything except gmail and havent had issues since. Give thata try before you waste your breath calling care.

I only have contacts with Gmail. Nowhere else. Yesterday, I received the same message from one friend 38 times in less than 20 seconds!

Ouch. Yeah not sure what would be causing that, might want to have them file a help desk ticket and have the engineers look at it.

did u try hard resetting your phone..?
If not, try it out..
ELSE.--> try finding stock updates for your phone and flash them.

Am I missing something or.... How is there no good junk mail filter apps? Email is one of the most used things on smartphones, you'd think the play store would be flooded with these apps.

Oh. Well the emails have nothing to do with your phone then. Just mark them.as spam. I get spam everyday
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I've got several GMail accounts that I've never used for anything except self-storage, and I get 30-40 spam e-mails in those every day. Google used to have the best spam filter I'd ever seen...now it's the worst. :/ As soon as my Alma mater switched to Google Apps for Education, my incoming spam on that account quadrupled.
Gmail still is the best at filtering spam. You are not seeing 95% of what it filters automatically.
For the ones that get through take 5 minutes to train it. Mark the ones that are spam spam and it will quickly learn to mark those automatically.
Also; watch what you are installing and downloading. Most spam is brought on by installing questionable apps or clicking questionable websites.
I am getting them too. About 1 or 2 a day. Some days I get none. They are coming from hijacked email accounts meaning gmail thinks it's actually coming from an authentic live person trying to send a real email to you and therefore is getting around the spam filter.

Facebook mobile site problems

Running ShoStock 2.2, was happening on 2.1 as well.
The facebook app sucks, so I decided to just use the mobile site. However, I get the old site, not the one that looks like the app does. Tried a different browser, same issue. Different user agent, same thing.
Anyone else having this issue?

Same thing.
I don't think it's you. I am on unnamed and this morning I got the same thing. I usually don't use the mobile site, but someone sent me a link in an email.
I agree with the above statements to use Chrome, I just can't yet since I have't made the jump to ICS. comfortable now on GB.
It has nothing to do with ICS its Facebook it self.I got the same thing on my iPhone,iPod HTC(which is on GB). I believe they are trying to get more people to download the application.

That would suck, as the facebook app is awful. If I don't shut it down after using it, it runs the processor non stop, makes the phone hot, and burns the battery down in no time.
My friend with an iphone 4s just tested it and when to the new website.
Yeah it went back to a bare bones text version about 2 weeks ago!?!?!
It used to look like the app on my Galaxy Nexus. It looks crap now.
However, if its FB attempt to force me onto the new app... I won't be going there.
Not impressed with the apps permissions requirements (read and write to SMS folder and also read phonecall history and contact detail)
Will put up with the bare mobile site for the time being.

Haven't tried it on the 4s only on the 3Gs. This isn't the first time they have done it. If they aren't trying to force user to switch to the app they are trying to approve the site.It should be back to normal soon.
Edit: is the login screen the same as it normally? If so it could just be they are trying to improve the new version. My thoughts is because soon everyone is going to be switched to timeline.

touch.facebook.com works.
However on chrome, when scrolling it always flips automattically to top again. Annoying.
touch.facebook.com throws an issue on my phone. It seems this all started happening after last build of 4.0.4 android. ah well...

[Q] Facebook Mobile, (web version), freezing up..Anyone??

For those who give a rat's ass...
After various searches within the GSIII threads, I cannot find a solution to Facebook, (web, not the app), freezing and hanging. No matter what I click on in Facebook Mobile, the browser hangs and I eventually get a message stating that "Internet is not responding", with the "WAIT" or "FORCE CLOSE" option. Now this might just be a Facebook issue with the GSIII because not only do I have a Skyrocket in which this is not an issue, but I did a warranty exchange today at AT&T, (for other reasons not relevant to this post), and I still have the same issue. Mind you, this is only on Facebook as far as I can tell at this point. There may or may not be a fix for this at this time but I would be very curious to know if anyone else is having this issue...
have you tried other browsers?

Yes..First thing I did..Forgot to mention that too.
Even so..This is AT&T's flagship phone..There should be NO issues whatsoever with the browser..
Just sayin'... :cyclops:
