[Q] Gmail App can't download attachments - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys for the past few days my gmail has been having issues with downloading attachments. Ever since I used a program to clean some junk off my phone I have been noticing issues. For example if I can send attachments with no problem but once I go to download an image I sent its a black screen and says *couldn't load image* or if downloading a different file it says "can't download try again." Is there any way I can fix this? I am on a rooted 4.3 stock Samsung ROM. Thank you in advance

I guess no one knows..?

Hey did u uninstall the app and installed it again? Make a restart of your phone. Maybe its a bug from google.

U read the comments in the play store under gmail, maybe they have the same Problem? If it is so, than its a bug from google.

I just noticed that you were also the OP to the other thread I replied to. Just a word of caution, try to post everything on 1 thread. The mods may not like all these different threads.
Anyway, check out my response to your rooting issue thread.
EDIT: Forgot to answer your question on this one LOL. I would reflash your ROM.

Maybe try uninstalling market updates and cleaning the cache in app management?

He is using 2.1 so he can't clear the cache. He would have to use root explorer, remove vending.apk from /system/app, reboot then reinstall the market.
@shahkam I was doing some test on updating the market on 2.1 but things didn't work out. If you want to stay with 2.1 the only thing I can suggest is use erickwill's custom 2.1 which already has tweaks but it's based on the stock 2.1 rom.

Interesting...are you having trouble browsing the web using 3g/2g???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Being blocked maybe?!
This doesn't seem an error on your rom, this seems more likely that something is blocking your download.
Not sure if this is your case scenario but i can't download any apk and others from my university.
If you are inside some company network, or something like that this most likely is the reasons.
When the download shows on the top it means your rom is trying to download, but the server may have been blocked, so it will keep trying for a long time, also may give you some small lag during that.
If you can download apk files from other sources it means that they may have blocked only using domain filter or ip filtering.
To be able to access the market doesn't mean that the server isn't blocked, only means that the main domain isn't blocked, i don't which is the server for market downloads so i can't tell you how to check this, but the best way would be to get try multiple wifi hotspots or a home totally not firewalled connection.
If it downloads but doesnt install try unmounting your SD card and download, try again and see what happens.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
Nah no issues on other 2.2 roms only whit 2.1 i think its the markrt updates and my apn settings but not sure usually my 3g worls great all the time

[Q] Gmail.apk attachments

guys need a quick feed back, i've installed the stock gmail.apk onto my device, but i can't find out how i can save the .zip attachments that someone have sent to me ... i've tried several times w/o no luck, i've also tried download all files but seems that isnt working ... any tip?
IIRC, you can't download attachments with gmail. Try something else, like K9 or K10!
Install the app download all files or similar. Many in the market. Or use the gmail mobile website...

Download all files doesnt run. Any other? Have you tried something?

Any luck yet ?
I have tried searching on Internet but seems there isn't really a solution yet. A lot of people recommend Download All Files, Blackmoon etc... but the real issue here is that from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, there is NOT even a Preview button for the .zip attachment so non of those apps will work.
I would appreciate if there is any other working methods besides a third party email client.
Thanks.

Chinese notification

I hope somebody can give me some advice on this cos it's driving me potty, I keep getting notifications on my phone and they are in chinese (see screenshots), clearing them is no problem but I'd like to know if there's any way of blocking them, it's not a text or email, just a notification and a little picture of a star at the top of my screen, any suggestions welcomed thanks

Try downloading some antivirus app from Market. Maybe it finds something.
And where can I get that wallpaper?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Its some sort of adware.Get that Dr web lite and it'll soon find the app that contains the adware.

The notification appears because you have installed an app with airpush advertisements in your phone.
Install this and do a scan on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5icm9zbWlrZS5haXJwdXNoZGV0ZWN0b3IiXQ..
Then uninstall the aplication that came out with the result and rate developer with 1 star on google play. (this usually gets the developer to react, if alot of 1 star ratings are received)

Try "addons detector". However that's not a generic ad so it may not detect anything. You just have to go through your recent installed apps and running processes to figure out which app is the culprit.

Have you installed any apps recently right before you started getting the chinese notifications? That would probably be the culprit. I would start uninstalling recent apps and that might solve your issue

I flash different roms all the time and use titanium to restore my apps, come to think of it I only have this issue with the rom I'm using for my daily (perfect galaxy), can't imagine it's a problem with the rom but I think I'll dual boot it and monitor it for a couple of days, I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for everybody's comments

when you get the notification Spam don't remove it yet:
Settings > under system tap on {} Developer options > check USB Debugging
connect the phone using a usb to your computer
open adb shell
Code:
adb shell dumpsys notification
copy the output and save it to a text file, post it here
i'll tell you which app is spaming.
I FIXED MINE!!
the KEY: notification monitor function in addons detector
leave it on and wait a day or so till you get the notification
I used to get bunch of Chinese ads
addon detector showed me exactly which program caused it
it was a hacked version of game I have downloaded... got rid of it and the ad was gone...
thanks guys

[Q] Apps won't download when started from playstore website

Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?
Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

Remove the Google account from the phone, reboot and log in again.
Thanks for the tips but still no joy.
Google refuse to help because I'm rooted!
So when you open play store, it doesn't start automatically?

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

Nope, sits there doing nothing as if I haven't touched a thing.
The Badger, that somehow managed to sort it! I can't believe such a simple toggle can fix a problem that I've been struggling to sort for a week!
You have my sincerest thanks!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.

Apps crashing

Hi. I am using a S3 JB ROM.
Avfew of my apps keep crashing everytime I visit them for the first time. Like if I open the goal.com app it crashes. Then I open it again and its fine. If I close it and open it it crashes again and the cycle continues.
I have been reporting these but never get a reaponse. Also I have re downloaded the apps several times.
Could there be something wrong with my phone.
Could someone please give me some advice. Thanks.
