This is probably an android noob thing, but I cannot seem to understand how to use the "email" app and the "gmail" app.
I want to use the stock/default android email app, you know, the one with the black background? However, I am seriously annoyed by the fact that when I receive a single new email, I get two notifications in the notifications bar; One from the gmail app and one from the stock/default email app.
How do I use this? It's required to set up a gmail account for marketplace to work. But I hate replicate notifications.
Do I just delete one entirely from the app folder?
Whats the best way to work along/around this?
You can turn off the Gmail apps notifications by delving into it's settings.
Go to gmail app, hit menu, go to more, select settings, uncheck Email Notifications. Gmail app will no longer notify you.
but if you just turn off the notification it will still be syncing in the background so if you dont want to use the gmail app go into accounts & sync and under your mail address uncheck sync gmail
the gmail app is used for just that, gmail. the email app is used to connected to exchange servers, pop3 accounts, imap accounts, basically any email that isnt gmail.

you get two notifications because you have set up your gmail account on Email app. Gmail app is way better than Email app (my opinion)
Option1: Delete gmail account from Email app and just use the Gmail app.
Option2: Go to Gmail app settings and disable notifications and use Email app (it will still be synchronizing).
Option3: Uninstall Gmail app and use Email app.

Agreed!
If only I could make my ActiveSync account (work Exchange) to use the Gmail app for mail display instead of Email.apk's viewer.
Personally I think the Gmail app sucks ****. Its so annoying to see the Gmail notification (like push email) and then only go into Mail to actually read it after hitting refresh.
Real cockup in my opinion, but then again I don't hold android in the highest light anyway.
I personally like the gmail app. I never need to press refresh. My push works great. I see the notification or the green trackball (color I set for gmail) then pull down menu and select the notification for Gmail and it loads that message right up.

That's pretty much wrong if I understand you correctly. If I get a notification from the Gmail app of a new mail, I press it and it's right there in my inbox without having to refresh it first.
I also like the Gmail app better than the built-in e-mail app.
The Gmail Push?
I have nexus one, it normally syncs every hour (i set it so)..
Why dont I get the push option? (my operator supports push mail)
If you use Gmail app - the push is automatic and the only way. You don't configure the sync time, because it has no such option.
If you use Email app for Gmail - check if you can set it to Automatic(Push) option (it's the topmost option on the list).
If you set Gmail as Exchange, it can push. If it's set as IMAP then it has to be set to poll.
Ok did that, and and yeh, its push.
Its a lil slow though (it gets a lil delayed).. but Im glad it works..
If one was to use the Samsung Note it seems that Google Dashboard would have a copy of all contacts,locations visited,locations searched,Youtube videos watched etc.. Is there a way to prevent all that from happening and from any record being left online with Google's Google Dashboard? This is pretty much the same thing almost as that Carrier IQ.
Bump.. Anyone
I also would like to know that. ..

I am not really sure if I understood your question completely ... but I try
Did you try to disable syncing in the settings? (privacy, accounts)
If you do not want your calendar to sync, disable the use of Google calendar, or use an app that doesn't try to sync with your Google account in the first place.
In my country I also saw the possibility to uncheck tracking on the Google page, again under "settings". Google.com has this too. I think Google will remember this in a cookie, therefore if you delete cookies regularly there's no point adapting the settings ...
HTH
I bought the 128gb / 6GB unlocked Chinese version. It works well in the UK on 4G (Three network) but there are a couple of niggles:
1. Voice input from stock keyboard does not work. Clicking the microphone does nothing. Installing a third party keyboard like GBoard does not even show the microphone. Another third party keyboard shows the icon but with the microphone greyed out.
I cannot figure how to resolve this as there are no options under language input settings or within individual keyboards.
2. Google Contacts are not being synced to the phone contacts. Going into the accounts section of stock contacts app does not show the google account. Trying to subsequently add it just tells me that this account exists on the phone.
Any help appreciated.
BTW - other than this, it is an outstanding phone.

I was able to install the Google Play Store. Every google app works except this one. Google hangouts is going away so this is the only way I can get messages from hangouts. Not sure why this app crashes on startup. It just crashes right away.
I found another workaround. It seems like chat is integrated into gmail. I tested this even on the iphone and my 2 kindle tablets and it works. Also the video icon works too which doesn't appear in the standalone version for some reason.
Go into gmail settings > tap on the account email address > then scroll down and checkbox chat.
Hello,
I want to send an email using a voice command from google home . For eg. I say 'Hey Google, Add a task buy gift' and I want to send an email to [email protected] with ' buy gift'.
I searched everywhere on the web for this but what I find no longer matches with what I find on the google home app or IFTTT. Most of the pages that suggest IFTTT point to Google Assistant and this is no longer available on IFTTT app but I find 'Google Assistant V2' Some of the pages suggest using Routines on Google Home but there is no Routine to send email on Google Home app. anyway to get this done?
