I have Chrome sync running. Shows it is syncing fine under the accounts area and all bookmarks, etc. sync. A couple of times since last night when I open Chrome I get a couldn't sign in prompt. Clicking next does nothing. Running stock rooted mk2. If I close Chrome and reopen all is fine. I can also go into the accounts/sync area and tell it to sync and it works.
Also getting distorted text on xda (but nowhere else yet at least). Screenshot attached. Any thoughts?

Are you using chrome beta? Cuz my beta does the same text distortion and I have to go into landscape mode for it to clear up and be readable. It's very annoying. I haven't tried going back to just the regular chrome version to test it...

Regular Chrome, not beta. I think they might have just pushed an update in the past day or so. maybe that is the culprit. So landscape and back fixes it then?

Yea maybe.. It usually fixes it for me but not every single time.

So no "Couldn't sign in" issues for anyone else though. Been like 4 times today. Only happens when I open chrome, but if i hit back it just works and bookmarks and such seem to be syncing. Maybe a google now issue?
So are we really the only ones with the Chrome text flow issue?

You aren't alone on the sign in issue. It happens rarely, but it's started doing it the last two days or so. When I click next it says something about an error and not being able to sign in or something.

This didn't used to happen, but I noticed it about a month and a half ago. Early on with this phone picture messages would come in fine...I could click on them and they'd look normal when they open up in the gallery. Those messages from then still look fine and function normally. But any picture messages I've received in the last month or so don't work right...They download to my phone (when I have mobile data on, which makes sense), but there's a play button over the picture. When I click on it it it opens up the photo but it looks tiny and I can't zoom in or anything or open with the gallery, etc. If I longpress the message without opening it, it only lets me play as slideshow which is still reallllly small. If I "download attached to SD card" it saves in my file system and when I open it up later it looks normal. But I don't want to have to download every picture message I get to my SD card just to look at it...
What's the deal here? I use GoSMS but I got this problem sometime after I started using that. Either way, the problem occurs in my stock app as well. I can't remember if this coincides with when I flashed GingerBlur or not...
FYI, this happens when I get messages from any iPhone AS WELL as friends with android phones. Any thoughts?
EDIT: also, if anyone thinks it IS GoSMS though, let me know! I don't remember this happening when I first started using it, but I dunno I'm willing to try all possibilities. Maybe a rogue setting in GoSMS is screwing it up?
Not GOSMS. I get the problem with the GingerBlur messaging, as well as stock Atrix messenger.

Interesting, so that should mean GoSMS, the GingerBlur flash or the stock GingerBread messaging app aren't causing it...hmmm...
This is an android issue. Had the same issue when using my nexus one, Dell streak 5 and now the Atrix. It sucks. Never found a way to fix it. Some messages used to come through fine but I haven't notice any work lately at all. They all come through like a small video file and are much smaller in size unless I copy to the sd card.
I'll try to grab some friends phones ( evo 4g, epic 4g, droid x) and see what it's like on their phones.
I also noticed that with animated gifs as well! They are showing up to people as pics only and are very small in size no matter how big they originally were! It's quite aggravating and I tried gosms, handscent, chompsms, and a crapload of others and none are working right!
This is not a problem... This happens when the MMS has several "slides", for example, a picture and some text.
If it only includes a picture, you see it directly.

I see. That's quite absurd, and even if it isn't a real Android problem, this should be changed...
I was able to play the game but now it won't even start up at all. Not sure what the problem is. I have cm7 2.1. I have tried to uninstall and install but nothing. Anyone have this problem?

Has this happened after an update? Because there are a lot of comments in there suggesting an update has bugged the game.
Failing that, clear cache and data.
i had the same problem until I downloaded words with friends apk with no ad and now its working.
I will have to try doing thast.

I can't seem to figure out how to access the chat portion in words with friends. I can barely see the chat box on the right hand side of the screen and can access the typing area and the keyboard comes up but I can't figure out how to shift the box over to see what the other person is typing. I'm on cm9 with one of the march nightlies. Anyone else have this problem? Any fix?
Same for me, update game force close.
Go ahead and clear data and then logon with email. Game works but I can't get to the chat on the left might have to use another resolution. For now have to chat with another program.

Chat works in 120dpi setting.
Only thing for me not working with words, is the paid option to skip adds / not show ads -- is not showing up.
Has anyone figured out how to log into Facebook within WWF under CM9/ICS? I see those games but the user IDs all look like "zyngaXXXYYYZZZ" and there's no way to associate the game with Facebook like there is under CM7 or iOS.
I can't figure this out but my email client and gmail client keep closing. It takes almost 10 tries to get them to stay open. Any ideas?

Stock rooted .28. A reboot helped Gmail for me but not Hotmail. That errs saying it couldn't open a connection with the server and hasn't updated my Hotmail since the 13th.
I was also getting Gmail closing repeatedly rendering it useless before the reboot.

I have had the same problem. Mostly after I have played a game that uses a lot of RAM or after a high uptime. Closing all apps using a taskmanager (which I normally don't use) helped in 7 out of 10 tries but for the other 3 times I have had to do a reboot.
I have had this problem the last time roughly a week after I updated to .28 (I'm on a rooted stock too), but gmail hasn't crashed ever since.
i used to have this problem a lot. i also had the problem where my homescreen widgets would keep disappearing. Getting rid of teh homescreen gmail and email widgets (where you can see a folder ie inbox) solved my problem of the widgets. might also have solved the gmail closing issue as well. at least i haven't experienced it much since.
hope this helps!
I have this problem, just started yesterday. No mater how many reboots or using task manager get errors. Finally just got another app from market to use for email. Rooted running miui

I used to have this problem. Now it's gone since I rebooted and don't kill the GMail app using the Ice Cream task manager (or another one).
By the way, setting the limit of background processes to 4 or something else in development options, leads to the same as the system ends finishing the gmail app process.
I found a solution for my Hotmail account not syncing, not able to connect to the server. This thread has info from Spoutinwyze that got me going. Here is what he said.
>manual setup, >choose "exchange" >edit username to be <name>@hotmail.com >change server to "debug-m.hotmail.com"

I still have this problem after 6 months of owning my Prime. Gmail crashes incessantly. Completely useless. Beyond frustrated at this point. I did an RMA, paid $50 to mail it, got it back with absolutely nothing done to fix the problem. They say I can send it in again, and this time they will pay the shipping. Guess I will do it. No idea what else to do at this point. Maybe they will replace it and give me one where this doesn't happen?

Do you use the email or gmail Widgets that show your inbox? Deleting those Widgets seems to have fixed the issue for me!

I have the same problem, but it is sometimes resolved (more often them not a) by clearing the memory using the Asus task manager widget. I use it every time before accessing mail and that seems to make it more stable.

possible fix....
I only use gmail so i dont know if this will fix the other mail applications, but... I too had the force closes with gmail and I found a fix.
Open up gmail and quickly go to the settings section. from there go to the gmail account/s and change the days of mail to sync setting. I put mine at 15 days, but i haven't experimented with anything higher. all i know is that it worked and crashes completely stopped after that.
so i am assuming it has something to do with memory handling or something like that. I am not a dev or anything, but just seems like a possibility.
I do not have any email Widgets. I have cleared data and cache countless times. Factory resets after every firmware update. Cold reboots. Changed sync to 15 days. Nothing works. Constant crashes with opengl out of memory errors in the logs. Submitted multiple bug reports to google and Asus. No response from google. Useless Rma from Asus. Don't know what else to try

Try atp tweak and sio through that. Also running the build prop mods. That might help.

I have the latest twisted liquid ICS rom installed. What is the fix for Gmail emails showing up blank?
This has been happening to me too and idk why. I restarted my phone and let it sit for a while and it apparently works again. For now at least but if anyone had a permanent fix before it starts happening again or could at least explain why it would be appreciated

There is no fix.
Work around is to force close the app, then re-open it.
Set the long press back option to kill the active app. This will become your friend.
It is the last option under Developer Options.

I have the Google Photos app set to be managed manually in power settings but the pictures still do not sync when I take them with the camera. I need to manually open the app to get the sync to start.
Ive been reading around and it seems on other phones modifying this option fixes the issues, but not on the mate 20 pro.
Is anyone else experiencing the same?
Same problem as you. Still there on Android 10 beta.

Damn, was hoping Android 10 would fix this issue. I wonder why its happening, turning off the battery saver features allows all my other apps to function in the background.
I think it's an app issue, it's also happening on other devices of mine such as Xiaomi. At some point I'll try rolling back to an earlier version of the app and see if it's working.
You all obviously didn't get the memo or notification that Google photo no longer backups automatically.
This might help..

This is not related to what we are talking about, we're not worried about anything to do with google drive. Just the Photos application auto-syncing in the background - works on some phones and not others.
