Funny situation is going on there mate. If sync is enabled (background sync+gmail sync) and when u have a 'working' connection, it should trigger and sync on every task u do.
Possible multiple things u can try :
-Wipe gmail app
-Reinstall gmail or update or anything that changes ur current gmail version
- last case scenario, wipe whole phone and reinstall rom or diff firmware?
Thats all i can say since its a rare issue indeed

This happened to me on my tablet before we got CWM and I was pushing my mods. It's just something corrupt. Reinstall the Google Apps and clear your dilvak cache. If that dosent do it. Its wipe time.

Changing GMAIL account to android?

Is there a way to change my email?
I just created my new gmail, i thought my old one was a bit too... childish name... so anyways How would I remove the other one and add this new one
Obviously you can odin and then reflash to CM7 and add a new account, but Is there a way to just do it without odin?
Go to Settings/Account and sync; there is an option to add a new account.

but can i completely remove the other one after adding the new one?
edit: added my new accoyunt but cannot remove the original
tells me i have to reset phone to factory default.
ANY other way?
sorry dude, as far as i know you have to reflash.
why not just use both?
I have 3.
Set your old one to only sync gmail (assuming people are still emailing it).
I imagine all your paid apps are tied to it also.
Only way: reset phone to factory default.
Remember backup first.

I'm an organized guy, i really don't like having things i'll never use.
Thanks guys, I odin'd haven't used odin in over 3 months thanks to CM7 haha.
time to root, and then install clockwork recovery and flash cm7 *sigh*
^ if you use my guide, you probably don't need to since you've been here, I'd be curious how it flows for you.
also, having multiple gmail accounts does not hinder organization, at all. I know because I am crazy A-type.

Why would you Odin? In cwm, wipe data/factory reset will get you to where you need to be.

Phone overheating without any apps open

Hi, as you can see I have a Galaxy s2 (Unrooted)
I have a problem where my phone is overheating, I know it gets hot when playing games, but it is doing the same thing even when locked without any apps open. The battery life has dramatically dropped from over a day to like 2 hours or less..
This may not be relevant to this problem but on Settings>Applications>Battery Usage: it comes up that the Dialer is using 43% and Google Services is 40%..
I hope someone has a fix for this problem. Really dont want to take it back to the shop..
Please Help!!!
Thanks Geo
Sounds like a rouge app keeping the CPU on load, even when "closed".
Try Watchdog Lite to help track out down

You can try to totally restore your phone. The question is: what have you done the day before the problem occurs?

I havent done anything unusual, havent downloaded any new apps that i know of.
I would make a backup of everything and do a factory reset, then restore apps and data step by step.

That's what iv done. Apart from backing up my contacts. Oww well.
All is good now iv done a factory reset. Not a clue what the problem was. Thanks for all your guys help.
As above post, if watchdog lite app doesn't show any rouge app, backup what you can and factory reset. Without installing any apps, check if you have the drain, only then instal each one by one and check.
Also two other apps I use for any diagnostics are ;
1. Better Battery Stats (paid). There is a free version for download on a thread in XDA;

If all else fails, Maybe even use Odin to flash newer firmware of just reflash your existing.
In phone dialer *#1234#
Look for newer firmware here, note links are just being uploaded due to the multiload FBI case.

All my apps force close after tab hang

Hey guys,
so here's what happened. My tab hanged so I restarted it, but then it won't go pass the glowing SAMSUNG animation. It took a few hours before it managed to boot but instead of my normal UI I boot into the.. SETUP. Like the first day your device was first turned on, I skipped the setup because it seems like all my settings are still intact(My 3rd party keyboard kept crashing at the setup). Everything was still there, my apps, my gallery is as it should. But one thing is scaring the hell out of me. NOTHING WORKS. All my apps force close like all their data have been erased or something. But when I check settings it still says I have over 9GB used for apps as it should, but everything doesnt work :/ all my downloaded apps, Live wallpapers, widgets all won't work.. Anyone can help me?
My tab is not rooted..
Thanks
Your tab got corrupted somehow... It happens from time to time. Maybe one of the apps you installed caused this? I don't really know, but once it happened to me on my phone. If you had cwm I'd suggest to wipe cache, dalvik cache and to fix permissions. But since you are completely stock there is not much you can do. Try to wipe cache in recovery. Other than that try to reinstall the apps. I think it works. Just reinstall one app and see if it works. Then proceed by installing all of them. But if you come to this, then it's best to make a full wipe to be certain that everything will be cleared. If you had root and titanium backup it would be much easier to reinstall your apps. But if you prefer stock then I think what I said is the best solution. Good luck!

I would suggest to factory reset your device. Try to save as much data as possible and reset. I know that it annoying to get everything working again. But if your device is that messed up it properly needs to be done. After such a thing I couldn't trust my device any more.

Flashed my friends galaxy s

So I flashed a gummy ics from to my friends fascinate. Had a bit of trouble with the restore, unfortunately losing the contacts. It still runs a bit slow and all the programs lag and force close. I've ran fix permissions countless times. Any suggestions?

Thanks man, I'll try that stuff when I get home. With doing the wipe, if I do a backup of all the apps and app data, doesnt that kind of make the data wipe redundant?

depends on your back up methods. i use google to back up contacts and tibu to back up apps. after a data wipe i just resync goole and restore app only(no app data) from tibu and your back in business.
I always bypass the Google account, to do an app restore first. Only restore the data portion of the apps that are most important. Like a checkbook app, dolphin, Tapatalk, etc. The rest be sure to just restore the app.
One that's done add your Google account and let the contacts sync, etc.

[SOLVED] 2GB Apps partition is full?!

Hi guys, i just work up and i found the attached notification. I didnt even go to market for the past week iirc. For the past 3 days i am very sure i didnt. And i went to Setings -> Application i saw i was left with 14MB. It keeps jumping between 13 and 14MB free.
Anyone encounter this before? Can guide me where to start troubleshooting? Im gonna restart the phone first. But i hope to find out the root cause
EDIT: just tried and it is still persistent

I do surf the web but i do not download stuff often, including apps. Im on the stock jelly bean leak and philz kernel. I just cleared cache and dalvik from recovery but no help. My total apps size never crossed 1GB and when i came over to this rom i only restored what i needed only which i doubt it every crossed 600MB. I am on this ROM ever since it was released on xda and i have no issues until this morning which i find it odd.
I tried to uninstall an app but it Didnt help much

My ans is all found here.

But how do we know which paths and folders reside on the 2GB partition? Hopefully it doesnt come back again.
