When I open the Gmail app and manually refresh, the app closes. If I switch to a label that's not my inbox, then refresh, Gmail will take me back to my inbox and properly refresh it. Also, Gmail won't get mail in the background. I suspect this is because of the crash issue.
Here's a logcat dump from when I force a crash, by trying to refresh my inbox: http://pastebin.com/C7AWUs6Z
Any suggestions for resolving this? I'd like my Nook to automatically fetch mail, and to not have to play games when refreshing manually.
Same problem
I am having the same problem. Also, my gmail won't sync automatically.
I had same issues but now GMail works
In Titanium Backup I "Wiped data" and then reopened GMail now it works fine: auto updates, no FCs, etc.
Good luck m8s!
spiffytech & marcusau2,
What are you running on your NC? 1.0.1? 1.1?
If 1.1, did you use Autonooter 3.0 or Decad3nce v1.1 ROM?

I can confirm this solution: Run Titanium Backup, select "Gmail 1.3" and "Gmail Storate 2.1-update1" and "Wipe data" for each. Now Gmail doesn't crash when I hit "Refresh".
Does this require me to do a clockwork recovery?

No, fixed the problem without the use of CWR.
I meant to say, I used the auto booted method vs the rom. To fix gmail do i have to use clocwork recovery?

I don't think so. I can only speak for my case, but I expect you can perform the steps I outlined above on your auto-nooted NC and fix the issue.
That solution didn't work for me. I saw in a thread someone mentioned something about adding your google account through youtube or something.

This method worked for me for a little while. Then Gmail started acting up on me again, I think after a reboot. I hope you have better luck than me.
I was going to suggest running fix permissions from Clockwork because that seemed to work for me between now and my last post. But that too has turned out to be temporary fix.
I'm going to try wiping clean and see if the problem goes away on a fresh install.

You wouldn't be able to use Clockwork anyways since you used Autonooter method. I've seen posts that installing Clockwork causes a boot loop that makes your NOOKcolor always boot into Clockwork.
But it's weird you're having problems with the Gmail app. I don't remember seeing issues with Gmail with Autonooter 3.0 while I was looking into using it. However, not being able to use Clockwork was a deal breaker for me to not use Autonooter 3.0.
titanium backup wipe
though it's a bit too early to tell whether this problem will resurface, wiping both the gmail and storage seemed to solve my problem.
i'm running autonooter with the 1.1 update and can't figure out why gmail would just start flaking out for no reason when it has been working just fine
hopefully, this isn't a recurring issue
raze
I'm having the same issue as well, running NC 1.1, Autonooter 3.0.
For me I can try to sync it and it doesn't crash, but it doesn't sync either, it just sits there. It DOES crash if I try to archive a message in my inbox. (But if I apply a label to the message and then archive it, it works. Go figure.)
I've been able to sync using the Titanium Backup data wipe method (followed by a reboot in most cases), but it has persistently flaked out again for no apparent reason. Sometimes it would work for a few hours before flaking, or sometimes it would flake again almost immediately. I have literally no idea what's causing it.
I really hope somebody figures this issue out. I'm running out of ideas of things to try...
Ditto 1.1 Autonooter 3.
the android email app works perfectly.
Gmail, not so good. Did the "add account" thing where I re-added my existing account to gmail and calendar started working perfectly But not gmail.
Wiped using Titanium but it still stalls.
However, if I go to labels in gmail and select "ALL" it'll sync. And it'll stick, after a few minutes. But this manual sync is the only way I've found to have it work.
I have been having this problem recently also. Gmail and everything worked at first, for maybe about a day and then it stopped syncing. I tried clearing the data using Titanium but now it just crashes every time I try to open it. Presumably because it is trying to sync upon opening. Not sure how to fix this now.
As a side note, since doing this it seems that the Youtube app is crashing upon opening now also.
I ended up switching to the K9 email app which has more options than the gmail app. I still wish I could get gmail to work out of principle, but this has solved my problem.
I don't think it has anything to do with using latest autonooter as I used the prior method to get 1.1 and I have the same problem. Common seems to be 1.1.
Oddly enough the Gmail app started working again for me yesterday with no changes in between. Then tried it again today and it was no longer working. Tried again to wipe the data using Titanium and nothing happened.
I did learn yesterday though that the Gmail app was able to connect to the Gogo in-flight wifi even without paying for a connection. None of the other apps were able to connect.

Hope this isn't already covered somewhere on the forums, I've had a search but couldn't see anything. I've noticed since the last couple of Cyan updates that my gmail app doesn't seem to be working correctly. if i read a mail on my phone it's not marked as read on the web version and the number of unread mails still includes these on the phone. eg if i get three new mails and read them all on my phone, wait a while and get one more message, the app shows 4 unread mails in the statusd bar but only one in the app itself. if i look in the web version of gmail, all 4 are marked as unread. not exactly earth shattering, but a bit annoying.
the more serious problem is that i can't seem to send emails from my phone anymore. as soon as i hit send (either new mail of reply) it just sits there saying 'sending...' until i get bored and delete it 3 days later. the messages definitely don't get sent as i've tried tesating to myself.
Had a look arou nd the internet and I've seen people with mails showing as 'sending...' but actually being sent. that i could cope with, but this is beginning to get on my wick. I've had to temporarily more to the normal email app - works fine from there, but gmail is much nicer.
any ideas?
FYI I'm on a UK Vodafone HTC Magic 32B running Cyanogen 4.2.5 - last resort is going to be a full wipe and install from the ground up, but I don't want to have to re-download all my apps (not on SD as I've only got a class 2 16gb)
Well if you dont wanna do a full wipe, which would be required for the the other solution found, you can flash my theme template over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584521
which replaces the google apps, which should hopefully fix it
please make a nandroid backup before flashing just in case
thanks mate, i'll give it a whirl.
Tell us if it works! I hope it does lol
hmm... weirdly it just made it worse
tried a few reboots to make sure i wasn't going nuts, but since the update gmail won't even open. no FC or anything the screen fades out in the groovy eclair way and then goes straight back to the desktop. thought it might be something to do with not being sync'd (which i think it might be) but the sync menu iten does nothing. click on it and it doesn't drop to the sub-menu.
just restoring my backup now. thanks for the help though - any other ideas?
think a fix_permissions might help after flashing your template? completely forgot to have a go. the lack of error messages or FCs makes me think it probably won't
No if it didnt work dont reflash it. can you pull a logcat after attempting to send an email? i have a feeling its due to not resolving google.com as ive seen in many logcats.
hmm. tried again with a fix permissions and the same problem again. maybe chucking it out of a window will help... bloomin' technology...
thanks, i'll try a logcat later on (work pc at the mo, so can't track it from there)
well I've solved it in a more or less painless way. used backup for root users, wiped and installed 4.2.5 from scratch and restored my backup. gmail is now working properly. there seems to be a bit of an issue with backup for root users where some apps are showing as installed on the market but aren't on my handset, so i can't actually install them again (uninstall and open are both greyed out on the market app). only a couple of them though and nothing as vital as gmail, so i'll put up with it i think
Yes that was the actual solution, reflashing the ADP image and cyan. Using backup for root users is good and that market problem has been there for a while relating to cyans rom. I dont remember seeing a solution for it. I just realized that you may have been able to just restore your data.img from your nandroid after reflashing ADP and cyan and been able to preserve your data.
thanks. might give that a go tonight. as it is, it's only taskiller full, bump and bloo that I'm missing, so i've installed taskiller lite, blabber and ignored bump. ity seems whenever they get an update in the market it reinstalls correctly (that's how i got my calendar back), so i'm just waiting for them to get updated. was thinking about pulling the apks out of my nandroid image and then intalling them into the corrected version.
So I installed Cognition 2.1, and everything seems pretty awesome. However, every time I open Google Talk, it closes. It doesn't prompt me to FC, but it pops up briefly and disappears. Task managers say that it's running, but I can't receive any messages nor can I open the program.
I tried restoring the app and the data in TiBa but no luck. Same results. Any thoughts?
This happened to me when I restored the accounts using Titanium Backup.
Someone else said to restore everything again with Titanium to fix it, but I don't know myself if that worked. I wound up re-flashing to stock and then when I restored with Titanium I just didn't restore the accounts.
When you say "Accounts," do you mean just the one called "Accounts" with the Titanium Backup logo next to it? Or are there other things you're referring to as well?

That's what I'm talking about, yeah. I don't know with 100% certainty if it'll work but it seems like that was the culprit because my Market wouldn't download anything either. When I did the same exact process again I manually added my gmail account before I did Titanium restores and I stayed away from the Accounts item in there.
Try restoring everything again, in Titanium, all system data. Someone here said it works to do that. Maybe it will? Only other option at this point is to reflash to stock and update it again. (as far as I know, I tried quite a few things and nothing else worked. I didn't try restoring everything again with Titanium though)
Yeah I have the exact same problem: market downloads won't work either. I wonder what causes that?
I just clicked restore all data on Titanium Backup (didn't feel like reinstalling every single app again), and it worked! Also restored all my homescreen data: didn't realize that got backed up.
Thanks for the help!

You restored system data back to an app... thats a big no no
Tried searching..
My rooted NC has been working perfectly. I have downloaded lots of apps. Now when I am on the market everything seems fine but files will not download. It just sits there on "starting download". The only thing I can think of is I used Titanium backup to "wipe data" on the market app...I am a noob, was that dumb?? I thought that might clear my market search history that keeps adding up. Any thoughts?
mine does that once in a while. i just reboot the nook and it starts again
I have re-booted a few times...no luck.
I had that symptom after I deleted Google Talk. I just re-auto-nootered & all was fixed. Nothing was disturbed. I never heard any feedback on whether or not that was a viable restore method, but it worked for me by restoring the missing files. If I were you, though, I would wait for someone else to chime in & give some guidance.
Cheers,

now that I think about it my Gmail has not been working either. I am not getting notifications of new mail. When I launch Gmail and hit refresh it will get my mail, but not automatically like it used to....must some google account issue????
make sure you log into Google talk which should fix the issue.
My experience also supports the need to be signed into Google Talk in order to download from the Market.

I may have logged into google talk when I first rooted...but I have not touched that app since. I tried to launch it and it kicks me back to my home screen right away. Tried a reboot..same thing.
re-rooted, problem solved.
I rooted my Nook Last night, everything seemed to work fine as well. now( about an hour ago) the Marketplace stopped downloading.
Is re-rooting the only answer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
so it's been a while since I've been on the XDA forums from my windows mobile days. Just bought and rooted my Nook and I've made my return to the forum.
So my problem is that I can't get marketplace downloads to work. I rooted my Nook Color (1.1.0) with Autonooter 3. Everything went exactly as it should, synced my youtube and gmail and gtalk. I've been able to download and install apk's from the internet and have the amazon marketplace that will download and install apps. I've tried everything from resetting the caches from gmail, gtalk, youtube, marketplace, like everyone has suggested in other threads. I've installed titanium backup and did the data wipe on the various apps, I've tried signing in/out of my gmail in the browser. I can't seem to get the marketplace to download.
any thoughts?
when i first rooted, my nook did this as well, i just rebooted and it worked, try to reboot once or twice to see if it works.
Strange as it sounds you need to be logged in to Google Talk for the market apps to download. Also, if you keep the stock launcher you won't see the apps in the Extras until you do a full reboot, but you can launch them from the notification bar.
Try unmounting your SD card...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
unfortunately, all of these have already been attempted and failed.
as a side note, my gtalk just stopped working, crashes when I try to open it, even after a data wipe (titanium) and reboot.
I had the market working, until I changed the order of the accounts ( I have now primary a google apps and secondary a gmail account) When it worked was inverted in the order. I went the manual way to delete the account that appears in the nookdev wiki.
I suspect this is the cause. Now I'm tryng to keep the calendar sync with the google apps account and get the marketplace to download anyting.
Do you have the same situation?
Somebody with a clue to get this work?
I'll keep investigating. I'll post solution if I find it.
Cheers.

I had the same problem but I finally found an answer from someone on a different site. Turn your Nook off, put the SD card back into the slot, hook the USB cable back up and plug it into your computer (not sure if this step was necessary but it worked so I'm leaving it in), then unplug everything, remove the card and restart.
Hope this helps!
Hey everyone,
I decided to make the jump from albinoman's CM10.2 to CM11 on my Raider (Rogers variant) a few days ago and for the most part I'm very impressed on how it runs. Big props go out to albinoman for all of his hard work on this device
One problem that I noticed though is that some apps won't install from the Play Store and I get hit with an error line stating "Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card". I hadn't seen this error before and the apps worked with no issues back on 10.2
I read in a different thread for the GS2 that one way to fix this is to install SELinuxModeChanger which would change the permission back to "Permissive" (the 4.3 standard) instead of "Enforcing" (the 4.4 standard). I tried this, but it didn't work. Maybe it's just for Samsung devices, but for what's it worth, that doesn't make a difference here.
I'm running the 01062014 build with the Full Modular GApps package (if that makes a difference) and I'm S-ON. Apart from this issue, I've also found that the default camera app FC every time (focal works about 50%, photos with rear camera works, creates videos but can't play them, etc.) and MMS doesn't get sent/received (but those are stories for another time and yes, I flash the boot.img from every new build EVERY TIME).
I have ample room on my SD card and on my internal storage to install them (details are in the screenshots), but it's still a mystery as to why they don't install...
It's not a big deal that these apps don't install, they're nothing important, just some games that I can play on other devices, but I was just wondering if people were aware of this issue and if so, how long a fix could potentially take.
Thanks in advance!
Hey dude, I've had the same issues with CM 11, most notably the xda developers app would not install. I'm installing the 1-12-2014 build (came out today), which is supposed to fix both this issue and the camera issue. My phone is currently getting all of its apps reinstalled, so in a couple of minutes I'll give it a shot and see if it did the trick. Fingers crossed that this fixes my netflix issue too!
---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------
Sweet! The new CM 11 build fixed the issue! Sorry for the new post instead of an edit, I don't know how to edit on the app.

That's great news!
BTW, did you restore anything when you installed the Jan 12th build? For instance, did you make a backup of the data partition in TWRP (or whichever recovery you use) and then restore that after you installed the 2014/01/12 build, or did you just go clean and install everything new?
Hope to hear back soon!
I just made a backup of my installed APps using "app backup and restore" and backed up my apex launcher settings and desktop data. Then I did a clean install ( wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache), and restored my alpha and speed settings. Just manually inputted everything else
My Netflix issue was not resolved, but that's just because apparently kitkat doesn't play nice with Netflix. We just need to wait for an app update.
Edit: sorry for the excessive thanks, i'm still getting used to the xda app.

So I tried the Jan. 12th build and it's pretty nice. But that isn't to say that I don't have any new issues.
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but Gmail is not being synced up. I checked my sync settings and it notes that the last time it synced was yesterday at 11:08 AM (the last time before I switched from builds). Not only that, but I'm not receiving notifications when I do get emails (probably because my emails aren't syncing...).
Apart from that, the cLock widget doesn't survive after a reboot. Upon the first boot, it was on there and I configured it to my liking. Then whenever I turn off or reboot my phone, the widget disappears from my homescreen and I have to manually replace it. I'm not sure if it makes much difference, but I'm using the launcher3 instead of the default Google Launcher and I've resized my rows/columns to 4/5, respectively. The widget never disappeared on earlier builds (or on 10.2), but it does on this one...
Anyone else have similar issues to what I'm experiencing?
But besides those, the camera works great, so that's one issue solved
Oh, and I should probably mention that if I tell my phone to sync all my Google information, the spinning sync wheel doesn't move at all. I'm not sure if the same result happens when I try to sync Facebook and receive notifications, but that's less of an issue for me.
I placed the clock widget on one of my screens, and it survived after reboot, so in thinking CM11 isn't playing nice with launcher3 ( i'm using apex launcher). I also don't appear to have any issues syncing with gmail, so I don't know what's going on with that. Sorry I can't be of more help

What's the error you get? And I assume you're using ClockWorkMod recovery (WCX)?

It could very well be the case that the clock widget and launcher3 have some compatibility issues. I haven't tried apex launcher or any other launcher (nova also comes to mind), so I can't say with 100% accuracy that it is the fault of launcher3. It won't hurt to try different launchers though, so I'll do that and give an update when I get a chance.
As for the Gmail sync issue that I have, I read this from albinoman's CM11 thread:

I'll give this a shot as well and see if it changes anything. But before I do that, I want to try out the Jan. 17 build that's up now and see if these issues are resolved automatically

So it's been a few days and I've got an update to share.
I was too lazy over the weekend to try out the Jan. 17 build, so I instead tried out the Jan. 20 build when it was released yesterday. But before I did, I made a backup of everything (Apps with TiBu, and NANDroid backup with TWRP) just in case something went haywire.
I wiped everything except my SD Cards in TWRP, and then installed the 01/20/14 build alongside the PA Mini Modular Gapps. I then accessed my bootloader and installed the boot.img 3 times to ensure that it sticks (not required to do, but more like OCD lol ). Once that was done, I powered off for a few minutes, unplugged the micro USB cable and then powered back on.
As it was running through the initial setup, I went through all the usual steps, but after I entered my Google Account info and had that verified, I decided to uncheck the Backup & Restore option, but had everything else checked.
You might be wondering, "Why'd you uncheck that option?". Essentially, I had the thought that there might have been a setting that corresponds to Google Sync Services and Gmail from earlier builds that kept messing up the default options in CM11 builds and thus making it unworkable (hence my earlier issue with Gmail not syncing and sending me notifications).
So after I ran through that and installed all my programs again (from the Play Store, not from TiBu for testing reasons), I opened up Gmail after a reboot and I noticed that the notification push was working! I also sent myself an email from my desktop and checked to see if my phone would notice it, and that worked too!
So to recap, here's what I did:
1) Backed up everything
2) Wiped everything in Recovery except for SD Cards
3) Installed Jan. 20 build and PA Mini Modular Gapps
4) Installed boot.img 3 times via fastboot, powered off
5) Unplugged USB cable, powered on
6) Went through initial setup
7) Unchecked "Backup & Restore" setting during setup
8) Installed all apps from Play Store, powered off
9) Powered on, opened Gmail
10) Noticed that Gmail was working, celebrated
I'm sure all of this could have worked in earlier builds too, but I never thought about unchecking the "Backup & Restore" setting during the initial setup until yesterday. So now all that remains as a WIP is to get MMS working, but that's the least of my worries for now
Jan. 20 Build Update
Huh, well apparently it only decided to work that one time...
Upon that first clean install and boot, it notified me about all new emails that were coming in. The next day however, it decided to just stop. I have to do a manual sync (moving my thumb from the top to the bottom of the screen while using Gmail) to get my new emails to appear, and there's still a chance that it won't fetch new emails
Not only that, but I noticed that there's still a few apps that don't work out completely. An example of this is The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was working fine in earlier builds (I believe it was the 15th or 17th, can't recall right now), but on the 20th build, it just force closes after the first screen.
Also, some apps disappear from my home screens after a reboot. I don't get why this happens, but it's ultimately not a big deal. But hey, at least cLock survives a reboot when using launcher3
Anyone else have similar problems/issues?
