Gmail 2.2.1 Issue - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, was wondering if anyone on the forum was experiencing any issues with the Gmail app v 2.2.1 I looked around the forum & google but I can't seem to find a solution. Anyway here's what's happening . . . I'm able to receive all the notifications etc but I can't seem to preview any of the attached images. Html mail with images are loaded fine but if someone attaches an image say from Yahoo mail and sends it to me on my Gmail addy and I click on Preview it simply fetches the image forever lol, if I click download it does the same thing . . . just keeps downloading the image and never says complete, how-ever if I go into my Gallery I can see that the image has been downloaded to the default downloads folder Weird. I'm on Stock Froyo FRF91 (unlocked Bootloader) Any solutions before I finally give up & just restore the thing? Cheers.

[Q] Downloading images from email issue

When I download images from my gmail account it automatically saves to a folder called "download" and the files are automatically named "downloadfile," "downloadfile-1," "downloadfile-2" and so on. I would then move and rename the images I've downloaded into a different file to be more organized. BUT, when I download a new image from gmail, it appears in my Gallery as the image that was downloaded previously that shared the same "downloadfile" name. When I click on the image, the previous image appears for a second before the current image is shown. When I back out to tile view, the previous image appears again.
I've tried deleting the "download" folder but a new folder gets created when I download an new image and I still experience the same issue.
Has anyone else experienced this? How do I fix?
have you tried rebooting the device ?? ... i had a simmilar kind of an issue .. with a file showing up in the gallary when it was suppose not to show up in galary.. but a simple reeboot (switching off and switching on) got rid of the problem...
Yes, that was the first thing I've did (a few times too). I even took the battery out for good measure but I still have the same problem. :/

Google Docs App from Google Inc. - apk included

Code:
Thanks to: Zaphod-Beeblebrox
He uploaded the apk so we can all install it. Seems like there may be an issue that it needs to be installed on a phone a verified first then moved to the tablet but here is the apk for anyone wanting to take a shot at getting this fixed. Again thanks Zaphod-Beeblebrox
If anyone wants to put in what rom they are using I will update this post so people will know which ones are working.
This works for me without taking it to a phone that is running the:
Vegan Ginger RC1
Calkulin's ROM

Couple Tips on using Google Docs on your Gtab:
Tip #1 comes from schettj | Uploading Documents on your Tablet to Google docs:
In ES File Explorer or your favorite file manager, navigate to the folder with the desired document in it.
Press and hold on the file, Select Send, select Docs
You'll get the Google docs file upload dialog, and the file will be sent "to the cloud!" where it will then be editable in google docs.

I can't find it either. Bummed. Going to try to sideload from my phone.
Edit: works great! Downloaded to my phone and copied it to my Gtab.

Sure. I don't mind
So I tried to install on my stock tablet. But I get a message that it can't find a Google account and it closes. How can I get it working
Tia
Seems this needs to be loaded on a phone ( tablet) that has a google login . Must check for credentials etc. Probably not work on a stock Gtab . Not sure about a custom Rom.
If you are on any Rom BUT the TnT based Roms (Stock, TnT Lite, Calk's) just go into settings, then accounts and add your google account.
If you are on any TnT based Rom, I think you will need away to enter an account (I don't think the TnT settings will allow this). Try loading/installing G-mail and or Google Talk.
Now that I think of it, if you have the Market running, your Tab should be registered to that account.
That APK gave me no problems with Vegan RC1

Yeah if you got the market fix in place it will force you to setup a gmail account so any rom that has market should work.
It works! Thanks!

Works fine on vegan gingerbread. Thanks for the upload.
Has anyone gotten this to actually upload any documents yet? The description says you can upload documents from your device and convert to Google Docs format, and I assumed somehow I'd just be able to open a .doc or .xls file from any other app and select Docs.
Doesn't seem to work that way, at least for me, and I can't figure out any other method...
Yeah under "Quick Hints" it says you select Docs when "sharing" a file from another app. So it's what I've been fighting with all night: Quickoffice comes up, and it seems to be the only app configured to handle .doc files so there's no default I can remove.

[Q] Help!! Flashed Cyanogen Mod on my Galaxy Mini, now have several problems!

Hi, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to flashing phones, although I fix computers so I was a quick learner.
Anyway, I have recently flashed my Galaxy Mini with the cyanogen mod I found in the galaxy mini developers sub-forum on this very site and come across a number of problems. Some of these I have fixed using my own best judgement and others, however I'm still having trouble "cleaning" the functionality issues.
For the record can I just say, I love the mod and my thanks and congratulations go out to all the devs involved. Well done!
So, my issues so far...
wifi issues - sometimes hangs on the obtaining ip address part
Android Market - installed both old and new versions (including the download link on the cm 7 thread) - installs fine then asks to create new account, I click ok and it closes the app
Creating sync accounts in settings - gmail, hotmail etc will not add (error: Setup could not finish. Unable to open connection to server
Downloading from internet - I have constantly been clearing the data and cache of the download app and browser and after a couple more downloads I have to repeat these steps. Anybody know a permanent fix for this?
Email: also not completing user accounts registration
I have searched and searched both this site and others for solutions to no avail. I love this mod and am very impressed with the tools included and my one wish is to be able to use it to the best of its ability. When I installed the update from sd card, my installed apps were also deleted (from the sd card), which I found strange, but thought hey, no problem if I can just download them from the market again right? But obviously since I cant run the market app, here lies my problem.
I hope there is a solution to this problem that doesn't involve reflashing my phone. I would be saddened to have to give up on this mod as I love nothing better than to get the most out of my phone.
Also just to clarify, I followed every step detailed in the CM 7 thread exactly as outlined and the flashing process was a pass for the cwm and the update completed successfully for the CM 7. I also cleared all data and wiped cache partition before and after each step as outlined.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions and I look forward to joining you on the forum.

No idea about wifi - not used it.
For market crashing, try this:-
Settings > applications > all > Market. Try clearing data from this.
You ought not have to create new account for everything. Creating /adding a single gmail account will work for email and market and address / contacts, google+, maps, etc.
Having to clear browser cache / data - I do not "download" much, but browse a lot - including the picture / video rich sites. Have not much problem, though occassional clearing cache / restarting the browser does help speeding up page loading. Probably has to do with low device memory. Did use other third party browser - like dolphon (opera is the reason I moved away from Nokia), but am back to stock html viewer now.

Thanks for your input. I managed to set-up gmail under the email app but it wouldn't accept my hotmail account (it used to before the mod)
I have lots of free memory on both the device memory and sd card. I also have plenty free ram. My phone runs like a dream now to be honest.
I have just tried an apparent workaround by installing youtube on the phone, however although I can use it no problem, when I try to add an account I get this - Unable to authenticate user (before it even asks me to input my information!)
This really sucks =(
I can't sync or download anything through market.
Also, I have cleared the data and cache several times to no permanent avail, as I mentioned in first post.

Wifi -issue...i have this sometimes.But even in official 2.2.1.And this issue is when reconnect at same brodband or at remebered wifi networks.I solve this issue sample.
-Turn of your phone Wifi,disconnect your brodband from power energy,wait 10 seconds,plug in againr brodband,wait him to load ~1-2 minuts,after reboot your phone turn on again wifi and manual connect to wifi.After auto-reconnect will work a wile with no issues.
For other sync email and contacts you need to isntall googleapps.zip via CWM at first run setup your Gmail acount.After no issue with others.
Also you need to make a correct install of CM and googleapps.zip.
1.)Install official 2.3.4 KPI using tools from samfirmwares.
2.)After install CWM using ODIN like in tj's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750
3.)Install CyanogenMod via CWM
4.)Boot up your phone and disconnect from 3g network and connect to wifi
5.)Reboot phone in recovery and flash googleapps.zip via CWM.
6.)Boot your phone and setup gmail acount.
7.)add your acounts and sync.
If you make this you shall not have any kind of issues with acounts sync ,only sometimes with wifi.

Hi, thanks for your suggestions - I've been waiting all day for a solution like this. I already have cwm installed as I said in first post. I will try reflashing as a last resort.
However, I am trying your theory on installing the google apps zip file through cwm now and will let you know how it pans out. Thanks!
Damn. Always something goes wrong! Log from cwm ; Finding Update package>Opening update package>verifying update package>E:signature verification failed>Installation aborted. Grrrrr
Previous installations have been fine through the choose zip from sd card. However, on attempting another zip (flash 10.2) also doesn't verify either (worked before)
Whats going on?? I'm at my wits end =P

You can toggle "signature verification" in CWM recovery menu. (Not sure where exactly that option is - but recovery menu is not too deep.

All, I am using CM7 for Galaxy Mini 09102011 and I have ony one problem:
Somehow the MAC address of the Wifi device in the phone is changing every time I disable and re-enable Wifi connection. This was a problem, since because of that I had to disable MAC address filtering in my home network just to prevent myself always setting the new MAC address in my router's MAC filtering "white list".
What I observed that the changing part of the MAC address is always the 2nd half (meaning the last 3 pair of hex numbers)!
Does someone know a fix how to prevent Wifi MAC changing?
Some people say that the don't have this experience with the previous release of CM7 for Galaxy Mini (01102011).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't noticed this kind of problem before with CM7 personally and I wish I had a fix for you. Perhaps it may be better to back up and try a reflash? Assuming you haven't already tried that of course!
Sorry I don't have any other methods but I noticed nobody is replying to your question!

Yes, this problem is not there in CM7 01102011. You can try flashing it after a nandroid backup. I had similar problem with latest (09 10) CM7 so I restored my previous backup and everything is fine now...

[Q] Office Client

Hi,
I flashed my phone to a Custom ROM (GingerDX v029) and realised that it doesn't has the native email client. Can anyone please hook me up to a good email client where I can configure my office email account to? Free obviously.
Thanks!
If you have zip of any other rom then get the native email from it.
Open the zip
go to /system/app and extract email.apk from there.
Hey, thanks! Did that.
But right now, I can't set up the mail.
What happens when you try to do it??
I have entered all the details correctly. It then starts checking the incoming settings and prompts with the message "Unable to open connection to server". I have tried this on 2-3 other email client apps as well. Same error.
Could it be because of the root access by any chance?
No.. thats not because of root,,
install gmail from play store and check whether the problem exists..

I already have gmail and its running properly. There is no problem in that.
Right now I am trying to set up my Exchange Account in my phone and not able to do that.

Same error.
The thing to note is that my friend is using the same settings, and in his phone, he has configured the mail account successfully.
hmmm....
give me a little time..
Hmmm.. okay
Anyone?
So I searched around a little bit, and this what I got:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324 (Issue 2.1 in this link)
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9426
Apparently, when you flash you phone, you lose the security credentials of the phone which come attached to it by the manufacturer. Hence, you can connect to the public email ids and domains, but not to the secure ones.
This is what the problem which I think I am facing as of now. If anyone can help me install the security certificates again in the device, please do.
Maybe the only solution is reverting to stock by SEUS.

Problem with WhatsApp attachments

Hi, i hope somebody can help me. I´m using "Utacka" ROM, but bevor i used another custom ROM and problem was the same.
I´m not able to receive attachments from WhatsApp Messenger. The thumbnail is shown but i can not download. When I click on the image i can see the progress bar but it stays empty. Also i´m not able to attach something to sent.
My supposition is a permission problem with WhatsApp Media Folder, but don´t know how to fix...
Thanks for your help!
Best Regards

Hi together,
i found a solution by myself - renaming (deleting was not possible) the WhatsApp-folder on my internal sd brougth it. WhatsApp automaticly created the folder again with *i think* new fixed permissions. Now i can send and reveive attechments! The same procedure helped my with downloading files in my Browser. I renamed the "Downloads" Folder and now it works probertly.
Thanks and Regards
