Liquid ICS v1.5 MR2.6 Beta and Gmail - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am unable to post in the development threads yes so I thought I would post this here.
I know some have had an issue with the gmail disappearing shortly after opening the email.
This was not an issue for me at first. It started when I activated Adware.
I uninstalled it and gmail is now working fine. After a reboot of course.
Sorry if this has already been noted but I was unable to find it.

Anyone having Bluetooth issues with this rom?
It connects for me but is extremely distorted.

haven't had the BT problem.
i was having that same gmail problem but killing the app and restarting it seems to fix.
my question is, does anyone else have extreme lag and slow down for the long this ROM stays on? if i restart, it's snappy again.

No I haven't had that problem. Just some data issues. Nothing major.

Gmail disappeared again.

I rebooted and gmail is fine.
What is going on with this?
Could it be the radio?
I am running 1.48 which I didn't put there.
I never changed the radio before.

I seemed to have luck fixing Gmail just by stopping and exiting the running app and restarting Gmail. A lot quicker than restarting the phone. Though I've only tested this method once last night when Gmail went blank and it fixed it, but it hasn't happened since. I also have AdAway installed still.

I had this issue yesterday when I first flashed this ROM. At first it was just Gmail having the problem of blank emails (my Exchange account was fine), then it reversed and my Gmail was fine but my Exchange went blank. I didn't do any force-stop on Gmail to resolve that issue, and all the force-stopping or rebooting or account removal/readd for my Exchange didn't work. I resorted to reflashing the ROM and so far today I have not had the issue in either Gmail or email.
Try reflashing, and see if you have any better luck.

Had one reboot about an hour after flashing but other than that it's been crazy smooth.

I have to kill Gmail and Google Reader at least once a day to get them to work. I'm pretty sure this stuff will be fixed in the update which should be coming soon.

[Q]Gmail malfunctioning

I'm on 1.1 pre-rooted ROM and my gmail was working OK but somehow today it stops syncing and if i manually refresh inbox it just closes. I tried clear data but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix?
Many thanks!
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using Tapatalk
Ditto, Jiang. My gmail started acting flaky last night. Crashes anytime i hit refresh inbox; randomly closes whatever message i happen to be viewing or composing; and reverts to previous viewers message when refresh does happen to work.
Afraid to wipe data with titanium for fear of even bigger probe
Any takers?
Same here. Subscribed.

I have had this issue since I upgraded. I have tried clearing data, uninstalling and reinstalling, even restored a nandroid of 1.0.1 and then reflashing 1.1.0. Nothing has helped so far. Hopefully somebody else comes up with a solution...I don’t really like L8 which is what I have switched to at this point.
I have the same problem. Started when I upgraded.
Same issue. New NC with 1.0.1, used autonooter. Gmail worked fine. Then flashed pre-rooted 1.1. Gmail flaked out.
Same problem here. Gmail just started flaking yesterday afternoon after working fine for a week.
On 1.1 rooted with unofficial AN3.0.
I tried wiping data for all gapps in tibu, also tried adding same account again... all other gapps working fine.
Getting FC's when hitting Archive, and Gmail wont sync at all.
Same here, since the 1.1 r2 update, FC on open, even after data wipe.
Had the same problem with Reader, and "un install / re install" fixed it, but I'm not sure it can be done without any consequences with the gmail apps (wouldn't the google account be wiped as well causing problems?)
I use K-9 mail for now, but I'd like to get gmail running again...
Has anyone found a fix for this? My Gmail is totally hosed up and useless at this point... which just plain sucks!
I've tried reflashing all of the 1.1 gapps using CWM, then wiping data for both the Gmail app and gmail storage app, and then finall deleting the apk and replacing it via adb... but, nothing works! FC's whenever I try to archive or refresh, and shows inbox from two weeks ago... Uhgg!

Phone apk force closing after almost every call?

Running th3ory 1.6.5, phone apk fc almost every time I use it after call, sometimes the radio shuts down showing no signal? Any ideas?

by any chance do u have facebook and twitter synced to your account? i heard one of these causes this problem. i used to have this same exact problem too but once i removed these syncing accounts from my phone it was fine
Ill give that a try. Thanks

Do a full wipe. Data, cache, and dalvic. Check the md5 on the rom. Reflash. It's easier then trying to track down the bug.
I am having the same problem, and its driving me crazy. On BAMF 2.0.5 or 2.1, no problems, anything else and phone force closes on every call. Ive changed radios, stopped syncs, removed programs. Would really like some help to figure out what it is...
Have you tried aligning applications and fixing permissions. I was having similar problems and after doing those two things I realized my problems had disappeared. I'm thinking there's other issues there, but might as well take a shot at it.
I have tried, but i think i just figured it out. I removed twitter but didnt unsync the htc sense twitter. The force closing (now that I think about it) doesnt happen all the time, it just seems like it because its only when my wife calls me.
I unlinked her twitter account, and now seems to be working fine?
im having same problems. the radio does die out right when its crashing. could this have anything to do with this phones ability to do simultaneous data and phone? I will try to remove and unlink the twitter but I believe it was crashing with only my google account linked,
it appears to be sense 3.0 which is the problem for me. I wiped and flashed a senseless version and a sense 2.0 version and neither has the problem. On any rom with sense 3 or hybrid my phone dialer crashes upon calling?

[Q] gmail crashing

Hello,
Is anyone else having issues with Gmail crashing?
I can get it to crash by looking at "all mail" and then scrolling down.
On my galaxy nexus this scrolling goes back to the server and loads more messages. On my prime it just crashes and goes completely black or crashes to the home screen. I have to then force stop Gmail in order to get it to load again.
I'm having the exact same problem with my prime. I'm guessing it had to do with some other app that is running because if i restart my prime, it doesn't happen again for a while. I've searched and haven't found any others having this problem though.
I also experience some "back to homescreen" while messing in Gmail. I just cleared the data/cache to see if it will help.
I am having these troubles, too. Have anybodies problems been solved (perhaps with the new Firmwares that were put out by Asus - I am still on 9.4.2.11 as I am based in Austria) ?
The .15 update has made it so that I do not crash any longer while scrolling.
Although, sometimes when I scroll down it just sits there....loading conversations....
I still experience gmail crash... I run WW .14. I hope .15 will fix it when it will be available.
Mine crashes as well on the lastest OTA firmware. I don't think I even need to scroll to crash to homescreen. I think it does it even when I just click on an email occasionally.
Gmail crashes soooo often for me. It's driving me batty. Any ideas on how to fix it yet?

In the few cases I've seen mentioned, whether that even helps temporarily is debatable. In my case it didn't help at all, so I just set up the "EMail" app to get my GMail instead of the GMail app.
yes i have tried that mltiple times, removed the gmail widget since i saw some mention that it could be causing the problems. no luck. removed other widgets one at a time as well. removing beautiful widgets seems to help with the home screen "crash" I was experiencing a lot, but does nothing to fix gmail
I guess I'll have to set up another email app or use a browser, but damn! neither are great fixes (
I just started using the ASUS Email app. That seems to work fine, including the widgets.
This is BS
Come on, Asus, this is Gmail, not some goofy homegrown app or a game or something. And this has been going on for a while. It is not something that just started. I swear Asus has their priorities up their ass sometimes.
I have the same problem ever since the last OTA update. The gmail app is virtually unusable, also get a similar problem with Maps crashing out when searching for places but I guess that's for a different thread.
Tried many things one of which, removing the Beautiful Widgets home screen weather/clock widget, solved a different problem where all the icons would disappear from the home screens.
It's a real shame 'cos I've had none of the hardware problems other people have had, but the flaky apps/browser/ICS are really making this tablet very difficult to use as an everyday device. Maybe it's time to unlock and try Virtuous ROM.
Maybe it's related to this:
http://www.androidcentral.com/google-acknowledges-gmail-app-may-be-flickering-says-fix-way
Acer Iconia A500 -- received stock ICS update a week ago and since then Gmail app has been playing up like all of you guys -- random crashes, flickering, freezes etc.
Very frustrating because that's the most used app on my tab. Now I have to revert to using native email app which kinda suck.

[Q] Gmail App Freezes Phone ???

What can be the reason that when I enter gmail appon my phone, after 8 monts of normal use, it blocks my phone - screen blinks few times and than it turn of after some time !!!
Lack of information .

But this is what is happening, I don't know what to write more. It just shows 8 emails of inbox, I cant scroll, open or do anything with these. Only way to leave Gmail App is to click home button. Sometimes even that is not working. From time to time it looks like it refresh whole screen from left to right with same 8 emails. The phone is top part near camera becoming hotter during this. I am running official 2.3.4 GB.
First check if process Gapps is running or not.. Then..
Try resetting Gmail... Go to settings-> Apps -> all -> Gmail.. then clear cache/clear data... Launch Gmail again...
I've got pretty much the same problem on my S2, though it behaves a little bit different; the left to right refresh/animation is going totally crazy and when I try to leave the application using the home key it almost always opens itself again. Sometimes it doesn't refresh like crazy, instead the Gmail UI is totally unresponsive. I am running a CF-rooted stock 2.3.5 ROM (XWKI8).
EDIT: I've tried resetting Gmail, it didn't make any difference at all..
So, I am not alone. Hope someone will help. Cleared all cache and data settings, all the same. Even was taking battery of the phone for 10 mins - no result.
Is any other Google Apps running ok??. Can you sign onto gtalk properly?
What about YouTube.. Google reader etc... I am asking because.. Some background services need to be running properly for Google apps
Very very strange, my phone has started having this very issue as of today, too.
I've tried deleting the app's data, resets, battery removal, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app (rooted).
I have no idea where to go from here, so I've since frozen the app..
Edit: Might be a known issue now:
http://lifehacker.com/5895595/gmail...oid-for-many-heres-how-to-get-your-email-back
I'm having exactly the same issue. Started yesterday.
Could be related to the fact that the Google search app was updated yesterday? Or the fact that I changed my Google password. Other Google apps fine
having this exact same issue, dont know what happened, been completely fine before yesterday :S
edit: im on a Nexus S but this post came when searching for a solution.
Good to know that I am not the only one having this problem. Let's just hope that Google releases a fix soon!

having the same issue this morning on my Amaze 4g
Same problem here and I have a Galaxy Player 5. At first i thought it was because I flashed a custom rom , but this only started happening recently. Guess I have to use the stock email app in the meantime....bleh...
EDIT: checked out the gmail app from the market. clicked on user reviews and sort by newest. everyone is having this issue.
EDIT 2: the issue has been resolved, for me at least
Solved!!!

All google apps hang every few days

I'm on rooted stock (latest OTA) and every few days all of my google apps will stop responding (Maps, Wallet, search, etc.). I can open them, but they never get to the main screen of the app (just a blank screen). Rebooting it solves the issue. I haven't noticed any correlation with other apps running. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I've finally got my phone the way I like it and I'd hate to hard reset if I don't have to.
Thanks!
I just noticed my gmail did that this morning. It might be because of the recent app update. Either way, it's only happened to me once so far, so keeping my fingers crossed.
I've done a reset to fix this and it did.....for a while but now it's back. I have to reboot or Google apps won't open fully, they just hang.
I have the same issue with Gmail, navigation and sometimes the web browser. A reboot fixes the hang but who wants to do that all the time.
+1
I am having the same issues. Reboot fixes it.
+1 pretty sure it was the gmail update. I uninstalled and it seems to be working fine again.

Mine The Same But Im Not Rooted Hope They Fix It Soon
Try getting the logcat for the event. You can use "alogcat" from market. Search on how to use logcat ( it's color coded for obvious events). Magic bit ( "self" changing) events are more difficult. "Autostarts" from market will let you see your spinlocks, so if any unrelated app has the screen or some other resource then you've got the cause.
Uninstalling the gmail updates had no effect. Happened 3 times in the last 24 hours. Getting very frustrating.

I have the same issue as well with gmail loading to a white screen. I've tried doing a force stop but that didn't help, which made no sence when a reboot fixes it.
Mine started doing this too, only started about a week ago. I always have to reboot too, very annoying.

Its google wallet. Delete or disable and reboot. Clear data in google service framework as well.

Are you using a custom launcher? I was using Apex launcher and it worked awesome for the longest time. Recently my gapps started locking up as well so I uninstalled Apex and haven't had a lockup since. I did NOT reboot after uninstalling Apex, and the issue has cleared up.... Give it a shot if you're using a custom launcher.
I am running the stock with the OTA update (no custom ROM or root) and I'm seeing this as well. Good thing is, this has nothing to do with your custom ROMs. Bad thing is, this is a real issue that seem to be affecting everyone!

Oh dang. I'm stock ROM, but I did root it. I haven't seen it since I've uninstalled Apex. Guess it's just a matter of time before I see it again...

Just do as huludical has said here. So far this is the only fix that has been working. Something with the Wallet fix in the OTA starting screwing up the way many other Google apps communicate with their servers. By disabling/uninstalling Wallet and clearing the data/cache for Google Services Framework and then a quick reboot and the issue is no more.
Granted, this means, that once again we are unable to use Wallet but that's a small price to pay when the alternative is having Gmail, Maps, Chrome etc etc freezing up every day or so.
Is there an update to this situation? I am UN rooted and this is happening to me
