[Q] Gmail - What's happening? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there.
We're a small business group from Italy and everybody is on Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.4 .
Anybody of us has a personal and a group gmail account on his phone.
Well, we noticed that since the latest update Gmail is encountering synchronization problems.
We noticed that is was no more receiving emails or syncing, so we deleted data, application and accounts on all the phones, the we reinstalled the application and recreated the accounts.
Nothing changed, we had to revert to previous gmail version to make it work, but also in this case, when we open an email on the phone, it's not labelled as read on the server, so if we open gmail on web we see all emails unread.
Anybody with this same problem?
Best regards

Ask Google. Yes, seriously. Obviously something they've done in the new version is causing you grief, they're not going to be aware of the problem/do anything to possibly fix it unless users tell them about it.

Already reported...

I encounter these problems, too.

It's the ROM you're running.

Absolutely NOT!

Problem solved, maybe server side.
I just cleared cache partition.

How can you say that? You can wipe app cache too, this fixes the problem. Temporarily.
And it's also not ROM related since I'm on Nexus 4.

On my device app cache wipe did not fix.

Gtalk and market issue

I change my gmail acount for personal reason. I delete the old account. so I wat to remove the gmail account in menu: Account& sync. But it told me to do factory reset. After that, I sign in using new Gmail account, but I can not download app from market anymore. And G talk can not start.
I already create some new acoounts to sign in but still cannot download from market.
I search web and every forum, but dead end. no solution can fix this problem. Every others just find like: email sync, internet, calling, sms, mms. Just gtalk and market.
I already go to SE Service Centre in my country, but they same can not help.
What can I do to fix? Can someone plese help me with this problem?
Thanks
sounds like you need to re-flash, try to backup your stuff, flashing may be a last case senario but its a strong option...
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I see. Can you point me how to flash? Because I already try to flash few times. but no luck still not works. And I just update again just now and still can not download from market and open Gtalk.
Any better suggestion?
Thanks.
try to clear cahce & Uninstal updates from
setting >> Application >> Manage Applicatios >> Market
I am facing the same problem for a few days...tried everything from the little info on google that was available, nothing worked even not reflashing the phone
I am stuck on this..but just posted the issue on google help.
If i get some answers i will let you know
cheers
My brother has the same issue on his xperia x8, ive tried unistalling the market updates, clearing the data on all google apps. Tried factory reset and re flashed using SUES. Still the same issues, can`t download from the market and gtalk closes down almost instantly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yeah. so funny. My wife's x8 work perfect with her email or my email. But my x10 not. although I use her email and my email. So my conclusion... maybe there is something wrong with the phone. But I did not change anything just email and factory reset. and unfortunately my previous email already been deleted by me.
Now my x10 is so lame, cannot rooted and no more powerful app from market.
Please... if someone got the fix or accurate information, please post here.
(If someone ever post to fix by doing clear cache/update in application>market.....etc, I can say not work.)
Let's us all try to find the fix for this problem and discuss it together in this thread. Oke?
Thanks.

Since update to Android 2.1, I can not find "uninstall update" there anymore.
As I remember, sometimes ago, few friends experienced same problems, but this tips can solve the problem. But that time, my x10 never hard to download. But now, it is my turn. But the old tips could not help anymore.
Thanks.
Have you tried to recreate your old gmail account? The one you deleted before.

yes. but it apeears: "username and password not match" (or something like that.)
because I already deleted my old email.
I found so many same case with google. but still no logical explaination from Google or SE.
Tonight I try to flash back with this ROM 2.0.A.0.504 Generic. As I know this is the original rom for Indonesia. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hope and pray this can help to fix the problem
Still can not download from market after flashing ROM.
Nothing fixes this problem, I tried everything possible....maybe it is an account conflict on the google server or something...This sucks big time

So you already recreated your deleted gmail account and use the same password and it still cannot run correctly? Have you tried to run setup wizard again?
Have you tried to wipe all your data?
I once wipe my gtalk data using titanium and I cannot access market because gtalk closely connected with market. What I did is factory reset my phone because original flash cannot work. It wipe all my data back to original nordic generic. Well just sharing my case. Hope it can help.

[Q] Gmail issues

Hey all,
Flashed chingys perfect storm version 1.2 this morning from version 1.1 and noticed that I could not send emails with the Gmail app.
At first I thought it was the new ROM version or possibly thenew Ziggy kernel but after restoring my v1.1 backup and flashing the adrenaline 2.0 kernel I STILL can't send emails, I receive them fine but cannot send out.
Now I have no clue what the issue is, has anyone else had issues? Is it just the app or the service itself? Just trying to get to the bottom of this.
menu>settings>manage applications>all find gmail and clear cache and data.
menu>accounts and sync>google sync now
I used to have this problem on my Eris and Inc about once a month, always did the trick. Hope it works for you

Exchange Email Issues on Liquid ICS

I'm having an issue with the latest Liquid ICS ROM (with working data), regarding the stock email app. I have it setup to my exchange account, and I receive the notifications / see the emails as they arrive, however none of the message boy (text) displays when i tap to open the email. Are there any fixes for this?

Using TB, I cleared the data for both the email and exchange apps and re-setup my exchange account. It is working properly now.
Don't have 10 posts yet, huh? Can't post in the developer's forum?
Yeah, me too.
I had the same problem specifically with gmail. The body of the message would show up for a split second and then disappear.
This was posted in the Liquid/ICS thread. The responses so far have been kind of vague since it isn't a universal problem.
Try wiping cache and dalvik and rebooting.

You can also Fix Permissions using ROM Manager. That's what I did and it's been running alright so far. Hopefully it sticks.

I also found that stopping both the cached processes and running processes for either gmail or exchange fixes the issue and is an alternative that doesn't require recreating your accounts every time.

I tried doing what you said and it did not change anything for me. What ksheth2130 said though about ROM Manger did get my emails to go, just not my contacts or calandar.
Edit: I may have to try to reflash because the fixed permissions trick hasn't worked for me since the first time.
I encountered this same issue with my Gmail and Exchange the first time I flashed this ROM at the start of the week. Force-closing the apps or clearing the data didn't resolve it for me, nor did removing my Exchange account and readding it. I resorted to reformatting and reflashing the ROM, and the problem hasn't been back since.

First flash of this ROM was on Monday, encountered the issues later that day.

[Q] Known Contacts Showing up as (Unknown) in Recent Calls??

Anyone else having this problem? In my Recent Calls list there are only 4 out of 75 that shows my contact's name & image. The rest just say (unknown) and have the number listed. I looked at these 4 contacts to see what makes them different and I see no obvious differences that would make them somehow poll differently. I've had this issue since I got this phone and am finally fed up with it.
Another problem I'm having that may or may not be related is that when I type on the number pad to search for contacts via number or name... it doesn't work. When I start typing characters of someone's name the results just dwindle down w/o rhyme or reason. For instance, if I type my wife's name... nothing. If I type Chis I end up with three contacts with the name of Chris. That's nice but I have 8 contacts with the name of Chris. When I type any other name there is no results. Coincidentally if I type one of the 4 contacts from the problem above they will show up.
It appears as though there is some sort of disconnect between HTC's phone stuffs and my actual contacts and what not. Is there a cache I can clear or something to get this to work? Some sort of setting to get this to function properly?
Thanks for the help.
what rom and such? tried clearing cache or dalvik? are your contacts linked to google or facebook?

Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Contacts are linked to Google, not Facebook. As for cache & davlik... I have had this phone for a while now and this problem has existed since day 1. I have cleared them both for other issues and the problem remains so I don't think that is going to solve it as it hasn't yet. I appreciate the tip though.

Have you tried unlinking your google account and relinking it? Are you on the latest update from sprint (2.13 RUU)? have you fixed permissions?
This happened in 1.22 as well, its a problem with their contact linking. As soon as I linked Google plus and Facebook sense merged the info and disregarded the Google contact info, I had to reset and the numbers came back with out the actual info unless I opened their contact info. When I re linked Google plus and Facebook they came back

Yeah, I also had to do that for another problem so I know it's been done in the past yet this problem remains. I think most of the 'usual' stuff has been tried prior to starting this thread.

I'm on 1.13 still. I don't have Google+ or Facebook linked though as I didn't want to deal with all that mess and the people I actually wanted in my contacts I enter manually into my Google contacts. I don't think this is the cause of my issues.
It sounds like the exact same issue except you haven't linked any info. Maybe it'll be addressed whenever the next update comes. I didn't have this problem until after the second update

Nope I jumped ship to cm10, I'm thinking about flashing back to see if anything else I might have done fixed it or if it was just because I re linked the contact info

I may jump to CM10 once it's final as there's still a few minor bugs that I don't want to live with. In the meantime I just want to get this stupid call history bug fixed. Is there something specific I can clear the cache of or detach and reattach that might resolve this? I did plenty of Google searches and I see some people talking about factory resets but then half of those say that doesn't even work. The last thing I want to do is a factory reset and that is if it was even a know fix for this issue.
It's a bug in sense as far as I could tell, perhaps installing a different dialer from the market that integrates history and contacts will help
Something else I noticed today since I uninstalled GoSMS and went back to the stock SMS app... my contacts aren't showing up in my conversation list or the main screen. Only a couple of them show a picture and name and the rest are all the phone number only. This is especially annoying when I want to find someone in my conversation list to send a text message to because I have no idea who is who. This bug is driving me nuts.
Well, today I found a work around... sorta. If you go into each contact and then set default action under individual settings for each contact (yes... each one) so that the default method is a text message (calling may work too... haven't checked). Once I did this my contacts had images and names in the call log and the messages. I did notice that while I was doing this the first two I did had to be done again for some reason so I don't really know what is going on, what this fixes or ho long it may or may not last but if anyone else finds this... here's a possible fix.
Nope... still doesn't work. I thought I found this band-aid fix to make it work but after a few days it went back to not being linked. No contacts photos and no names. Just a bunch of phone numbers in my SMS list and my call log. This is very frustrating. Is there a cache I can clear or something other than the phone's main cache and dalvik? Is there an app in my app list or two that I can clear the cache of to get this to reload properly? I don't want to go back to GoSMS (too much spam and too much fluff) and it doesn't fix my call log anyway.
You could try clearing data from contacts storage in app settings or the 3 people apks then resync and see if that helps
Did you fix permission? This happens to me after I do it

Why would I need to fix permissions if I'm on the stock ROM? I thought that was only something you needed to do if you changed ROMs, no?
Not necessarily, if you do something as simple as restore a backup with titanium you might have to fix permissions, if you format internal and restore apps, you might have to fix permissions. If you change something in the Rom like remove bloat, it might affect other apps and you might have to fix permissions.
There's contact storage, then you have people, its broken down into 3 seperate pieces. Each one is responsible for different features like contact linking and contact sync from other accounts

I've rooted an unlocked... that's about it. If this could be my problem then I need to know how to fix it. Also, I get an error message whenever I open Titanium Backup saying that my device ID has changed and it asks if I wanted to change it back. I keep putting that off because I had hacked DropBox to get like 77gb of storage using the LTE Evo and then the SGS3 hack. After an update it lost the SGS3 storage space so I was going to look into this again and how my device ID applied before I did anything. I'm to the point now where I don't even care about the DropBox thing anymore and should probably figure out how to proceed with this whole device ID thing that TiBackup keeps warning about. Not sure if that could have any relation to this problem but seems like it could so that's why I just mentioned it.

So there are 3 different APKs for this? So I need to find each one in my installed list and clear data/cache? Any idea what they're called if that's the case so I clear the right ones?
All 3 are named people, the device id problem sounds like build.prop but Im not sure because I'm not entirely sure what you did

[Q] FC when answering calls or calling someone. How can I fix this?

This has started happening after I installed Dashclock and set up the missed calls and messages extensions. I'm on Omega v44 (which is based on a 4.2.1 leak for S3). I've already tried deleting Phone, Contacts, Call log data and turning off sync for contacts, but it doesn't help. The only thing that fixes the issue is reflashing, but I've done it more than 3 times already. I've attached the log file regarding the issue.
EDIT: I also wiped cache and Dalvik and I fixed permissions, but it didn't work.
well, does uninstalling dashclock help? if so, contact the dev

I do. I've stated that in the OP. First time I even did a factory reset and the next two times I wiped data and then flashed again.
My friend contacted him, but regarding the incompatibility with the leak, not my error (I don't believe the developer will know why does it happen, since uninstalling hasn't helped).
it's the app causing the issue, so you'll need to contact him with a log of the FC

I know, but I've cleared all of the app's data and I don't have it on my phone anymore. Why would it still be causing the issue?
