Ok I have read that Gmail is not a very stable app, and people often complain it crashes, but there's a limit!
I had it installed by default, then removed it after root, then decided to install it again as I needed to check my mail more often.
Every time, every damn time I do ANYTHING, Gmail crashes. You probably know the usual message "com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly", I get it when I boot the phone, when I enable data, when I disable data, when I open the browser, when I close the browser, when I enable google account sync, when I disable it, and of course when I try and open Gmail. The fact is, the process crashes even when I don't use Gmail (I checked and it's not in the 'being used' processes list, but when I open the browser or enable data it crashes from nowhere).
I have already tried wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates (but for some reason it uninstalls the whole app), and uninstalling/reinstalling it several times, but I only managed to make it work ONCE (then after that unique mail sent, crashes again). Is there a way to stop this madness?
I have an Xperia Mini st15i with rooted 2.3.4 and stock stuff, if it can help.
Did you take a backup of the stock Gmail app before you removed it? Did you install that one and then updated or did you install directly from the market?
In addition, have you tried clearing the data of Google Services Framework? I read somewhere that clearing its data can help resolve issues in Google apps.
I don't have a backup of the stock one, I reinstalled directly from market =(. I'll try clearing that data then =)
Don't worry if you don't have the stock Gmail.apk. If clearing the services framework doesn't work, search Google for the stock Gmail.apk of your android version, install it, then convert it to system app and link it to the market using titanium backup and then update it. If you can't find it, contact me. Post how it goes.

I factory reset my old unused S3 and I'm now trying to re-purpose it (as a wifi only device). The problem is when I re-add my Google account to it, Google Play automatically starts re-downloading ALL my apps to it and I don't want that (probably over 100) - I just need 4 to 5 apps from that account re-downloaded (I don't mind doing it manually). How do I get Google Play to NOT automatically re-download all those apps?

Gotta slide the settings screen over from the left and go into the Settings there and uncheck the automatic update over wifi feature and reboot (if you don't have data, because otherwise it'll keep going). I dislike this as well and always sign in on cellular data first and change the settings and then log into my wifi.
Not sure if that would of actually worked for me as I'd simply didn't want Google play to automatically restore ALL my apps to the device - I wanted to re-download only what I wanted, but still be able to use auto update for those said apps. Turning off autoupdate meant I'd have to manually update apps which is undesirable.
Anywho, I simply created a new Google account and used that. It turned out to be a better solution for me.
Thanks for the help though
Yesterday I rebooted my phone to recovery mode to perform a new nandroid backup. Everything was fine but after having booted my phone again, I get a lot of "Unfortunately xxx-app has stopped" errors. Most of the time the apps are Gmail and Google Play Services but sometimes also Google Play Store and the app just named Google. For now it has never been Calendar, Hangouts, Drive or other Google apps.
Apart from the never-ending errors I have to click away, everything seems to be fine. I get e-mail notifications, I can update my apps etc. The errors seems to appear when the phone is syncing. For example when a new e-mail is received or when I'm writing and sending an e-mail. Also when I'm updating my apps, the errors are appearing. If I put the phone into flight mode there are no errors.
Of course I've tried to reboot my phone. I've also deleted cache and data from different Google apps like Gmail, Google Play Store, Google Play Services and the Google app. I've tried to uninstall the updates from the same Google apps and update again. I've booted to recovery mode and deleted cache and dalvik cache.
On Monday evening just before I went to bed, I rebooted my phone and there were no problems, and from the reboot on Monday evening to the reboot and nandroid backup yesterday I didn't install or update any apps so I haven't changed anything on my phone. Even though I've removed all my newest apps just to be sure it isn't related to a new app or an updated app.
Now I din't have more ideas... Please help me!

Either u accidentally deleted a system app or something is stopping Google play service apps wakelock Icing.
Is only google play app r crashing?
I have an HTC 10 and some apps came pre-installed as system apps, like Facebook, Instagram and others... I have Greenify donation package and I also use the Xposed module.
I have enabled the option to greenify system apps and I'd tried to hibernate Facebook. It somewhat works, the app is hibernated successfully. But when I open it, it doesn't seem to wake up completely. I mean, sometimes the feed is not updated, I swipe to the notifications pane and pull-to-refresh but I get an error "Can't connect at the moment", I try to open an external link that someone posted but I also get the "Can't connect at the moment" error message.
At first I wasn't aware of what was causing this but I then remembered checking Greenify and I stopped auto-hibernating Facebook. Now, every time I open the app, everything is working. Which makes me think that the problem is within Greenify.
I don't know if the real cause is because Facebook is a system app on my phone or for some reason Greenify can0t properly handle hibernation on the Facebook app.
Can anyone advise?
Hello, I've recently updated my LeEco Le Max 2 (X820), and I'm having a strange issue.
With the default E-mail app, notifications only arrives when the phone is "on", when in standby, notifications don't arrive.
However, the numeric counter on the icon is showing, so the e-mail is correctly received, only the notification don't arrive.
I've already put the E-mail app in automatic startup and protected apps, but the problem persists.
This happens after 23s update, and other apps, like Gmail, now are working correctly, so I don't think it is the same problem as before.
Any suggestion? It happens also for you?

For me it's working now, but immediately after the upgrade it wasn't working also for me.
I followed these steps and now it's working:
-added Gmail to automatic startup and protected apps;
-disabled background resources control through hidden menu (*#*#46360000#*#* on the dialer);
-opened Gmail-->Settings-->selected my account (***@gmail.com) and then opened "Manage labels"-->Principal, and here, I've disabled and re-enabled the "Add labels to notifications" voice (or if it is already disabled, you should enable it);
-Restarted the phone, and then Gmail started to work properly.
With 20s, also with these steps, it wasn't working, but with 23s now it's working.
I wish it could help you, maybe some word or voice can be a little different (I'm translating from Italian Gmail app).

Thanks a lot for the information. Those are also what I found among tons of posts. I was aware of this issue before I flashed stock rom. I did those steps right after I install gmail (and outlook email app which has same problem). But it was still mute.
How did you install your gmail app and play store? with other service apk? That might be a factor.

I've not used APKs, I've installed Play Store through the pre-installed LeStore app, by typing "Google" on the search bar.
After installed Play Store, I just logged in and then started to download apps, Gmail included, and also updated Play services through the Play Store instead of LeStore (there is Play services also in Le Store, but I haven't installed it).
I have also installed the Google App, maybe it can be relevant?

Looks like it is relevant.
I disable the play services, it uninstalls the updates (which I installed manually). Then I enable it again. When I open Gmail, it would require play services to update through play store. After the updates, I finally get the notification back.
Thank you so much for the idea.
For your Email issue, did you try to change the sync frequency?

Oh you're welcome, I'm glad to have helped you
For my Email issue, the problem seems to have corrected itself.
