I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.. my gmail app won't send any emails. It just says "sending" forever. I'm using a rooted vibrant on stock 2.1 rom, with JAC's kernel.
There have been a few people myself included experiencing this sporadically but I haven't seen a fix or a reason why it's doing this just yet.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
I have yet to be able to actually send an email via Gmail on my phone. I can receive them all day long, but the times I try to compose a message, they just say "sending" forever.
Also, I have noticed that when i receive a message and delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from my Gmail. I have to log into the webmail or use my desktop.
I'm running the stock rom, rooted.
I used to have this happen on my g1 frequently, haven't had it happen on my vibrant yet though. Typically when it would happen on my g1, I would go into the google apps and clear all the data. Couldn't just do it on gmail either, had to do the other google apps too for whatever reason, then it would work again.
Good luck, it's pretty annoying.
Try k9. It's a bit slow at times but it's pretty solid. Best email app I've found yet. I use it for msn, live, gmail, yahoo and my company email.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in the stock email apps that came with this phone. I think they're kinda garbage. Apparently my Sidekick '08 was better for that, not to mention the lack of IM.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time. I chalked it up to the gmail servers having issues. But as soon as I plugged in the charger the emails went out. Maybe if battery is low it won't send email? It didn't tell me it wasn't going to send them, it just didn't send them.
I find that I have to go to gmail and manually send each one from the outbox, they still say sending but they actually do send after doing that, because the recepient always says they get it.
So for example, if you send a pic from gallery, make sure you go to gmail after, go to the outbox then click on the mesage and then click send.
* To get to outbox go to gmail then click menu > labels
Sucks but works till we get froyo yo
i'm on a Samsung captivate running the leaked jh3 firmware. It's rooted and running SuperRooter and circle clock.
I noticed that after reflashing to the stock jh3 gmail would send
After installing superrooter gmail would send
After installing circle clock gmail would send
But after I backed up apps with titanium backup it stopped working. I think TiBU is causing an issue for me.
Anyone else have TiBU in your problems some how?
Update: Got it working
I did this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.
Now it works!

This fixed it for me as well. I am unsure of what caused it to not work in the first place, though.
nice, clearing cache/data worked for me. i was gonna reflash my phone to stock and start from scratch. this saved me a ton of time. +1

my gmail is having the same issue as here, has anyone found a better solution to the problem then clearing the data as that deletes the currently stuck sending gmails.....
also I cant do the process above if its in a conversation, does anyone know how to open a sending gmail when it has all the other responses attached to the top of it??? that process onnly works for individually sent mails, not "replied" mails that bring other messages with it into the outbox.
anyone know how to detach it from the others or even open the data files to remove text using some sort of tool???
bump for some possible resolutions to force the message to send and or view the message to copy text...m even a wayto view data from it so clearing data wontclear message tryingto be sent???
please got a long, important email i need sent...
Seriously doubt this is just a Vibrant issue as it would happen A LOT to me with my MT3G. So far, knock on wood, it hasn't happened with the Vibrant.
I have the captivate running cog2.2 and deleting the cache under "manage applications" worked for me. I was going crazy! Thanks for the help!
I have Titanium Backup and actually had to restore my ROM with ROM Manager and a couple of apps from Titanium Backup and developed this problem. Clearing data and cache under the Gmail App and Storage + Reboot fixed the problem.
Danger
I too have been having issues with emails (and now SMS?) messages stuck in "sending..." mode. I had several emails from a month ago that I just now noticed didn't send, so I backed up gmail, cleared data, restored the emails and tried to send them individually. On the plus side, my emails did send.
On the minus side, some of them had pictures and my phone took the liberty of sending the wrong pictures from my camera (I was "sharing" pictures from the camera app). So to be safe, just delete the emails!
Dangerzone!
bee tee dubs, I'm using Axura 2.2.9.0
I recently upgraded my to the xtrSENSE 5.0.1 ROM and now I am having trouble syncing the GMail application.
Google to phone works correctly, but phone to google does not. The actual emails come through fine, but things like read/unread or archiving messages do not.
I have cleared the cache, reflashed the ROM, cleared all data for the GMail app and still no change.
I have apps2sd and cache2sd enabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I connected over WIFI to see if that would work correctly (originally was using 3G) and it worked from phone to Google as I expected. Switched back to 3G and then it worked again! Who knows but if anyone has this problem try connecting to WIFI then back to 3G to see if that fixed your problem.

It's good to see that you have it working, but one other thing is that in xtrSENSE there is an app called Gmail Storage. Clearing data from that will help restart the syncing from scratch.
Also, I have noticed in the past that there are times in the 2.1 version of gmail where it just doesn't sync mail status, such as read/unread, as well as on the Froyo+ version. That said, I'm back on xtrSENSE for several days now and have not had problems like that with gmail.
I am using the latest facebook app on my wm 6.5 rom. I noticed today that I am not receiving any updates. I can still post updates but cant see them. Is anybody else having the same issue
Also after a wipe it is no longer allowing me to pull through my facebook contacts. This is random. As far as I can tell I dont have secure browsing enabled on my facebook account.
Have you activated auto login?
If yes, try to logout and to login again.
Done a full wipe and started from scratch. No luck

try to disable https on facebook
edit: oh, nevermind, i see you have it disabled.
Its very odd. It is just the News feed and Status updates and the download of facebook pics on the contacts. I can go and update my status and everything else! It is driving me nuts!
It was fine last night. Haven't made any changes just started happenng today
EDIT: I can now get facebook pics downloaded on my contacts but still no status updates!! Must be an issue with FB.
EDIT2: Tried XDA facebook and cant get updates either. Everything else seems to be working!
Working this morning. Must have been an issue with FB yesterday! I simply hit refresh and all my news updates came through! Random!
For awhile, my Facebook push notifications were working just fine until I had updated to Jelly Bean. I tried everything.. to clearing cache, data, uninstalling, and even the BlackBerry trick again (worked once before) and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they weren't working anymore. I thought maybe it was Facebook clashing with JB. I read everywhere and found out some people had no issues and some had some where every push notifications didn't work and some just Facebook.
Well I spend a day or so trying to figure it out and finally found a new, simple fix.
1) Open the Facebook app.
2) Tap on menu button on the top left
3) Account > Account Settings
4) Apps and Websites
5) Clear out Facebook related apps (Like Friendcaster or HTC Sense)
6) Clear data on the Facebook app and launch app
I noticed some off the apps in there have a push notification toggle button and I believe it was messing up the push notification system of there was to many to keep up with.
Once I spent 20 mins clearing those apps out, I cleared data and started the app notifications started working again. I didn't know it worked until someone wrote on my wall and I was shocked to see a notification!
I really hope this helps some of you out who have gave up looking for another fix.
If you're still not getting notifications, I'm sorry =(

Facebook, Twitter, Google+, push notifications aren't working in any of these apps. So annoying. I even tried re-installing the ROM and apps, but to no avail

Clear all those apps in that Facebook apps list.

Yeah, done that. Doesn't help
Sounds like all your notifications are broke. This is a fix just for Facebook while others are working.

After a whole day of looking around, here's the solution: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120318142032AA1GpzE (quote below). As a step-by-step:
1. log out of your Android Facebook app
2. clear app data
3. go to facebook on a PC and then account settings → security settings → active sessions and end all of them. (not sure if that's necessary, but it wouldn't hurt)
4. Log out
5. Now log in on the Android app and enjoy push notifications.
If you are logged into Facebook on a computer or other device, then your android phone won't sync, one way is to hit the social network widget and tap view all updates, then click on the refresh button, that is what I have to do to fix mine if I am logged into the computer, or you can just log out of facebook when you are wanting to use the phone.
This was caused by the latest update from Facebook's Mobile App, and unfortunately it affects not only facebook, but also twitter on the social network widget.

I have just tried this, along with uninstalling Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Friendcaster. They used to work perfectly. Now, they don't. I ess running the stock TouchWiz but now I'm on CM10. Could that be the problem? I will select the C2DM in Friendcaster, go through the process of entering my email and password, then nothing. It used to say that the registration was successful. Now it doesn't. I will then exit out of everything then go back in to check and the selection will be back to periodic polling.
it worked! Thank you very much!
Actually Solved
I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn't work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.
Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam.... Notifications I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but once you use an app and connect with Facebook everything will be there again. Worked with Cydia and all my paid apps were in my account again!
Hope this works for everyone to get their notifications back!!

If the problem is caused by an app, yes, it would. But for many that's not the root of the issue, so it's not correct to say it has nothing to do with… Anyway, thanks for contributing with a new solution.

No probs, but I have read through so many forums all having the Same problems and people always giving the same answers, restoring whole fone, getting new fone, updating software, clearing caches, reinstalling the app blah blah blah and the solution I have found fixed mine and many other devices, friends and other forums. So generally it's an app that they have connected to fb that has conflicted with notifications. Instead of going through 1 by one which I tried and everything else, turning off all then starting from scratch completely restored mine and brought it back to normal!

Hi
Found a solution that worked for me so thought I'd share here.
I was using FB 1.9.1 from an old Titanium Backup I kept on my Sgs1 and after setting up Zeam launcher and disabling some system and memory hogs like Google Play Svcs I thought I'd give the newer FB app a go.
Sure enough I stopped getting push notifications.
However rest of notifications on phone kept working, email, gtalk etc.
Then it occurred to me the push notification system might prefer to send notifications to the device rather than the account.
By which I mean every android device had an Android ID supposedly linked to the physical device itself.
I thought of this after noticing that whenever my phone should be popping up a notification that I just sent to mu account from another GB accpunt, namely a chat message, OS monitor would always show a peak of activity before relaxing again and nothing actually happening.
The rush was already happening when notifications were still working.
(I had previously used the newer fB app before and did get notifications to work.)
So i had a close look at Titanium Backup Account settings, and my Google Play store settings, and found out both were *not* using the *main* Google account my phone is linked to.
After which I set both G Mkt and Tit bkp to the right main Google account and immediately after, I updated FB app through G Market.
Hey presto, notifications came back!

cleared every app on the Facebook account I own. All notifications are working for the Facebook app.
I also used Push Notification fixer for root(there's a non root version too)

I am assuming that anyone with this problem has at one point rooted and installed Blackmart, AdBlock, AdAway or Freedom. If not this may not work for you.
I installed Root Commander then went into \System\etc and deleted the hosts file. Using lucky patcher I cleared dalvik cache and rebooted. Then I factory reset my phone and VOILA all push notifications are now working after nearly 4 months. I hope you get your phones working without having to flash your ROM.

I had the same problem, i could not receive the push notification on my nexus 4 and also on my ipad and i think i finally figured out how to correct that. took a minute. log in on a desktop browser check your email notifications: It needs to be at least "important notifications". After that you should be able to open the app and select what kind of push notifications to receive. i am sure that will not help everyone as there are different things that can block push notification but it's still something to look into.
Hello.
So yesterday strange thing happened. I took my phone, and noticed that it has wrong photos for some of the contacts. I looked deeper, and found out that all Google photos disappeared.
For example. There is a contact, which is synced with Google Contacts. Google Contacts has a photo uploaded, which was the one used in my phone as the main contact photo. This contact also has Facebook, Skype, Google+ and other social network linked to it. When I try to set the default photo in contact setting, there is no option to select Google Contacts photo, which was there earlier.
I checked Google Contacts, if photos are still there - and they are.
I tried restarting phone, deleting some extra files (couldn't start Image Gallery, because there was not enough space. Eventually I had some major problems with my SD card yesterday, but it seems, that they are gone now), stopped Contacts app, and cleared its data.
I'm out of ideas as to how to fix this.
I'm on XWLSE for Ukraine.
Exactly the same thing happened to me today. Apart from manually putting photos back on the phone's contact app or restoring from a backup I don't have a solution.

It does not help. It was among the first things I tried. I tried disconnecting other accounts from a particular contact to see if something will change, but it did not.
I wonder if I am not the only one with such problem, and it happened yesterday - maybe or was caused by some application update, which happened yesterday? For example Skype.

I've updated firmware to XWLSW via ODIN without wipe - did not help.
Decided to play with contacts a bit more. unlinked all of the other accounts such as skype, facebook, etc. - did not help.
Then I went to contacts.google.com and reused the same pictures for those contacts that I set them for long time ago.
And that fixed the problem.
I then decided to sync my contacts with facebook (emails) and that took me half a day to figure out how to do it correctly. :laugh:
Now, I reconnected skype and facebook accounts, but for some reason I don't see some of the Skype/Facebook contacts in the list. They are not linked with my google contacts for the same people, and I can't find it in the list. Strange things happen..

On my Galaxy Note 2 exactly the same happens, maybe a week now. After I have restarted my phone, all my contact photos were gone, but not from gmail. I had to clear cache for contacts and contacts memory to load photos again, but after some time they were gone again.
This happend to me about 4 times. Now I think Skype is causing this. If I do not start it, everything looks OK for 2 days now. Before, after phone restart, I have manually started Skype and after some short time contact photos were gone. Perhaps you could test that on your phone.

Same problem here. Deleting the google account was the only thing that helped -- for two days. The pictures even "survived" Skype synchronisation.
Two days later: same problem again.

I guess two days later Skype updated their app, and it happened again.
Here is the proof that it is happening because of Skype:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Andro...ing-all-non-Skype-contact-photos/td-p/1735257
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351825
No, it happened definitely BEFORE I downloaded the update - and exactly two days after I reactivated the syncrhronisation option in Skype.
AFTER downloading and installing the latest version the contacts disappared, reappeared, disappeared and reappeared again (maybe the regrouping of the contacts in google helped the reappearing but I think the last time they disappeared/reappeared magically I haven't changed any settings).
It is definately Skype on my phone. I had it turned off for some days, yesterday I had to make a call with Skype and my contact photos were gone again. Turned off Skype, cleared contacts cache, synced google and everything is ok again.
same thing happened to me today
Any ideas How to fix it?
