Gmail label colors not syncing properly - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I make extensive use of colored labels to organize my Gmail account inbox and that has always worked well on my previous phones, the latest being a HTC One M8 running CM13. Unfortunately it no longer seems to sync the label colors properly on my new Nexus 6P (also running CM13). Only 3 out of 28 labels have their proper color, the rest are just gray (like labels where you don't set a color). Interestingly, the same three labels always work properly if I clear the app data and set it up again. I also looked at the app data stored under /data/data/com.google.android.gm but saw nothing that looked related but I was unable to open one of the databases.
I have seen one or two other references to people having this problem but unfortunately nobody mentioned a solution. Has anyone had this problem before and if so, how did you fix it?
TL;DR: My gmail app doesn't sync label colors properly. Any solution?

I just did a factory reset on my phone last night and now I'm encountering the same issue. Did anything resolve this for you?

No, not yet.
Let me know if you find any more useful information about the issue or a fix.

Hey - are you dealing with a Google Apps account or a standard gmail account?

A standard Gmail account.
Did you do anything special before it fixed itself?

Nope.. sorry.. Just all of a sudden everything showed up in color.

I've had this problem for a week or so. Yours seems to have solved itself much quicker than that.

Hi there,
It worked for me (2 of 3 accounts were grey). Hope it will work for you. What I did (after tried all suggested method like untick sync, clear cache, blablabla ...):
1) back to gmail interface with my computer and change one label color to another color
2) wait a bit (~30s to 1 minute)
3) back to android gmail app, and select "all messages" folder to see all of them.
Et voilà ! I recover all label colors.
Hope that helps.

Thanks! I'll try that out. I did try changing the color of one label before but I might have changed it back too fast.
EDIT: That did it! I think the key difference was that I didn't open All mail before. Now it properly synced them all and picked up the change when I switched the label I modifed back to its regular color.

In case this helps anyone: I just had the same issue, also on CM13, fresh install. The above trick didn't work for me. What solved it was changing the permissions for the app: when I looked in Settings -> Apps -> GMail -> Permissions, the Storage permission was off. Issue fixed as soon as I turned that on...

For me it was a combination of clearing cache, force stopping the app and then reloading it. Labels had proper colours after that.
Edit: I forgot to say that gmail app had also access to storage.

Not working for me ..

I've had this problem for a couple weeks now, ever since I got my new phone. Unfortunately I can't get any of the suggestions here to work for me. I tried the change-color steps, with and without opening All Mail beforehand, turned on the Storage permission, and cleared cache/force stop/reloaded the app. So far none of this has restored the label colors.

The only thing that worked for me was disabling 2 factor authentication, sync and enable 2 factor authentication again.

Thank you

Thanks man this worked perfect" I just randomly selected one label, changed the label color, checked my phone about 10 minutes later and all of my labels colors were back in place.

worked for me, thanks!!

In my case, it worked to clear (not change) some labels' color.

[Q] menu icons won't stay sorted

On my SGS2 after sorting all my menu icons into groups on different menu screens e.g. one screen for games another for music apps etc, after rebooting for whatever reason the icon are all scrambled randomly around all the menu screens and I have to sort them again, and yes I do save after sorting. Obviously this isn't a major issue but it is annoying, any comments or suggestions (apart from stop being so anal). Thanks.

Be nice if you told us what ROM you are using and what launcher you have installed
You could create individual
folders and put your apps in that

Well I would've if I'd actually changed the rom or launcher, have root ( used cf-root, kernel DUKJ1) apart from that the phone is unchanged.

Yeah already have some folders but they too get scattered randomly, thanks anyway.
Yeah but could you not use appzorter from the market and that would sort your folders alphabetically?

Had this once with tw 4.5. cant remember how I solved it. Every time I restarted the launcher it just messed up the icons
it happens for me too,i got 400+apps but its sometimes annoying but still iam on stock an the phone dosnt hickup even with full load...
Sounds familiar...
tarobun said:
I had a similar problem which I fixed by clearing the TwLauncher data (in Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All).
Doing this will cause all the current icon positions to be lost, but it should start remembering them going forward.
I think there was something corrupt that prevented the icon positions from being saved.
Hopefully this works for you.

Font-Color in Notification Center

Hi,
i'm very happy with my new Honor 7 except one small issue.
I get notifications for new emails from Gmail-App. But the subject in the notifications are barely readable. (see attachement)
Different themes had no effect on readability.
Do i have to wait for root and change the color manually oder is there another possibility to change the fontcolor?
Thank you!
For now you could try putting a light/white coloured wallpaper. I don't know if this can be fixed in update or if its the colour google has chosen for gmail
did you factory reset and see if it work fine, whey you received 1st time was it working ok?
phone was out of the box, and right after installing gmail it showed this issue.
why is gmail showing two different notifications? first it shows the gmail notification with 3 emails and afterwards there are 3 notifications repeated as single mails?

Hi, yes i have this issue as well. It's not just the colour is the fact that the font is tiny as well!
I use the Google launcher and the control bar at the bottom isn't transparent either but that's just tough, huawei interoperability issues.

Same on my P8Lite...
I contacted Huawei support via HiCare and they said they cannot reproduce that.
Factory reset and un-/reinstall gmail app doesn´t help either.
Support guy told me to wait for the coming android 5.1.1 update with EMUI 3.1 that maybe fix it.

It's a known issue within Huawei and they are working on a fix. Several people in the UK reported it directly to Honor UK and it has been replicated by Honor themselves.

MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta Install Feedback

Yesterday I installed MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta ROM on my India K20 Pro phone. Below are my observations and feedback.
I was on MIUI 10 10.3.5 India ROM.
Installed Beta MIUI 11 by wiping Data, System, Cache. It is smooth overall and I find display better(it may be due to new font, don't know)
Observations:
1. Fonts are really good.
2. System Launcher is bit off. Swiping up opens up their own Media Center thing. (May be due to one of the launcher layout I selected while initial setup). Installed Poco Launcher, but it blacks out sometimes when going Home from an app. However it fixes once you perform recent app gesture and then back.
3. Downloaded 0.5 MB Google related chinese file from GetApps which install Google Services. Installed, but later while installing other Google stuff from inside that downloaded app, Google Framework failed to install.
4. Downloaded Google Play Store from GetApps. The installed all the apps.
5. Main issue was with Google Contact sync which was fixed by first installing Contact Sync 10 and then contacts. Opened app properties and given all the permissions. Restarted, it started working. May not work initially, but started working somehow.
6. Speaker sound is now better. It was very loud and uncomfortable earlier, but now it is much better.
7. Lockscreen notifications can now be expanded to read the content(which was not possible earlier)
8. System Wide Dark mode doesn't work all the times for non System apps.
9. Ambient Display has so many new options.
10. Samsung Routine like Tasks where you can schedule different system settings. Like lower down brightness to 0% between a time frame, etc.
11. Double tap to sleep doesn't work. Although double tap to wake works.
Overall it can be used as daily driver and I am loving it...
Great Explanation. Seems like a good build for a beta.
Can you do 1 thing for me?
I always wondered what are the new options for NEW Notifications when screen locked. Does it lit only the notification content like in pure andoird, or some other useless animations?
Can you post some screenshots of those options and feedback?
Thanks!
You can disable there media search when swiping up in the settings , I had the same issues as you with not all the Google frame work service not installing mainly contact sync , but overall miui 11 not to bad.
Hello, I'm on xiaomi.eu 10.4.6 and when i try to install the 9.9.24 miui 11 get an error zip treble could not fetch or install. I've whipped everything and tried 3 times but with the same result. I have rafael. Any advice?

Actually I am using Ambient display, there it just put a small icon below clock with notification sound. Once I click on the icon, it go back to lock screen where I can expand that notification to read the content. You can also have different fancy screen glow animations when notification comes with Ambient Display
Will update you about your query in a while
Did u manage to get the ambient display notification working (the fancy glowing animation)? Coz i didn't even after enabling it.
Another thing issue is with app like WhatsApp being killed in background even after setting it as no restriction on battery saving and autostart app. U end up not getting any notification at all unless u open the app itself.

While on Ambient Display, icon appears below the clock with notification sound.(not sure if you are expecting more than this).
Whatsapp notifications are ok for me...Battery Saver set to MIUI Battery Saver...May be I am not using much apps or the apps which are consuming more battery in the background. That way Battery Saver doesn't come into picture I guess.
Seems like Working great.But ther was a problem with Gcam and Other applications like viper4andriod were not working properly in 10.4.8 which is based on Q . Can you do me a favour can u check whether those apps are working properly and give me a reply
The icon appear as usual for the ambient display. MIUI 11 suppose to add animation feature for ambient display upon new incoming notifications to rectify the issue of K20 Pro design having hidden led notification on the top of the phone. This is the one that im referring to as not working
Ive attached pic of the animation which i meant
thanks man for review and testing....one question, how about 75hz screen refresh rate mod? thanks bro
can I use it as a daily driver?

Not sure he it's the same, but with the curtana version - Swipe taskbar down, then down to expand again and swipe left. 'Edit' is the last button.
Unfortunately my Redmi Note 9S doesn't have NFC. I too was pretty disappointed after leading to believe it did have it after reading many misleading reviews on different websites. Is is still a brilliant phone though.

Apologies, about that, very odd indeed that there isn't an edit button at all. I wonder about the lack of NFC function on your device too. I'm pretty sure one variant of this phone has NFC, but it's definitely not available on the 9S.

It got something to do with restoring your apps from google back up on first boot. I just factory reset my curtana but not restored the apps from google play and the edit icon its here once again... :silly:

Thank you for help.
This problem has got something to do with dissimilarity between AOSP quick settings edit icon and MIUI quick settings edit tile. If you are coming from an AOSP based rom, and recover backup from cloud, quick settings backup does not have a backup of edit tile, and MIUI does not have the edit icon, so you end up having neither of them.
Best solution I could find was to setup adb on your pc and pass the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles default

A "few" questions to the s10 Lite owners.

Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)

You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
