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.
Receiving sms but end up in a different contact name. Anyone has this problem? Pls help.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
To put it simply just restore factory presets and try again. Should work.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
I have experienced the same problem.
How would restoring factory presets help? (and what settings does this actually restore?)
same probleme with mine (SFR France), it suddenly started doing that two days ago and now all new received messages are messed up.
Will try to delete the messaging cache only at first (I have quite a few programs installed and would not like to reset the tablet....)
if anyone has a fix (even if it needs root......) I am happy to know it.
It seems to happen with all android phones BTW, so must be solved somehow no?
Had the same thing, after reboot all messages were in the right conversations.

Nothing new, had this issue with multiple Android devices.
A long long discusion about it, and it seemes google has fixed the sms problems, so its just to await updates from vendors.
PS a good rule to folow is.
Once you open messaging app, let it settle before moving arround in messages.
There have been issues with sms showing up under wrong persons, and sms going out to wrong person, depending on faulty situation.
Btw as long as you always send clean and nice sms's its not a real problem? is it?
Hahaha
snowy
true!
BTW, I have my tab working back ok.
what I did is go on settings/softwares/Manage/ and force closed and deleted all cache from the messaging programs.
after that, I had to reset my SMS ringtones, server phone number and it goes great since!
no format or loss of any message, and everything sorted out.
give it a try, always better than a wipe.
I could not find the path mentioned Settings/Softwares/Manage. Are you talking about Settings from the sms screen, the main tab screen, or something else? Appreciate if you could help to clarify.
Thanks.

This just started happening the other day when i installed another sms app. I know how to set up all the settings and even find where to backup my settings or themes. But since i've had two sms apps, they keep resetting. I've got all my settings and backgrounds set up. then every once in a while, i will open my text messages and it's like im opening the app for the first time. I get the fix log popup and all the settings are default.
Now i thought that since i had two sms apps ( not including stock ) that i needed to uninstall one. So i did. My settings are still being reset randomly. I've tried unistalling and installing again. No luck.
Anyone got a clue as to whats going on here. :\
*EDIT* I'm trying to use Handcent.. or GO

Hello all, so the full error that reads is
The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly Please try again.
Then I get a Force Close
I really have no idea what I did to kill it, but its broke. I was already updated to 5.6.890 and -55 firmware. I had a bunch of apps installed and had ran the bloat remove and then re-added it and decided to "freeze" applications with TI Backup. Somewhere in there it all broke. I have searched online and only found a couple of people saying yahoo contacts is broke and to re-install. Well I tried that didn't work. I have don factory reset and nothing, even booted into safe mode and contacts still broke. It happens when I open my contacts and then go to click on a name. So I can not use my contacts to dial any number. The only way to make a call is to direct dial the number.
Anyone have any thoughts or fixes for this at all?

This has been asked countless times, please do some looking around. I mean, this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235391) is literally like 4 posts down from the top....
You need to unfreeze the authenticators (yahoo, orkut, etc) or contacts will crash.
That would be great to do however, I have unfroze everything, still not working, re-installed "bloatware" had everything like factory except for the upgrade to 5.6.890 and firmware at -55 did a factory reset several times, still broke then un-rooted, still broke, re-rooted then factory reset again and still broke. I have looked around and all options do not fix my problem.
Anything else you might be able to think of?
And just for good measure, I just rooted it and did the process that is supposed to fix it and it didn't work again.
Are you sure that you didn't uninstall anything? If restoring all the bloatware isn't helping you might just need to flash system.img and get it over with.
I am not sure at this point what I did or did not install/un-install, I have been fighting this and trying different things for the past 4 days. I would be fine with flashing the system.img if I knew how. Sorry to ask, but might you have a link to where I could find that info?

Wow, now that was dumb on my part... I am sorry, I had those files from when I upgrade from the -20 to -55 firmware. I guess I misunderstood the wording in my head. But trying this now. Thank you. I will let you know if it worked.
OMG!!! IT [email protected][email protected]@#[email protected][email protected]#
WHAT THE HELL!!!!
You are now my hero.
Androidsims - For AWSOME GREAT DEED OF THE MONTH!!!
Easy fix
After reading suggestions, I opened Titanium backup, backup, filters, frozon apps, unfreeze each one with Authenticator in name & done..
Thanks for all the help!
com.motorola.contacts has stopped unexpectedly
when i tried to use the original contacts storage of my Atrix 4G it presented me a sorry message "process com.motorola.contacts has stopped unexpectedly". I tried many solutions from internet. All of them fail. So I entered in Google Play Store and install the app "GO Contacts". Now I can use my contacts to make call and better organize it. Please try it.
So I'm not sure how this started but I may have an idea. I used sms backup and restore to restore my texts to the G6. I was using Google Messages app for a couple days now until I discovered that there were themes available for the G6, so I uninstalled it. I started using the stock messaging app today and noticed I wasn't receiving any messages. So I open it up to see and now all it does it show a black screen. I fc'd it and cleared cache with no luck. I re-stalled Android Messages and they suddenly all popped up. I open the stock app and they all show up. So I uninstall the Android Messages app and I'm back where I started, with a black screen when opening the stock messaging app. Any ideas as to what is going on?
Are you changing the default messaging app first?

Thanks for the response. I believe it was because I had so many saved messages that it overwhelmed the phone lol. After it finally settled, it finally started working properly. Now if I can only find a good sms app...

With LG, whenever you backup/restore messages just wait for it as it might get stuck on a black screen or freeze when loading the app. I've realized this is completely normal and you kinda just have to give it time to catch up. I'm guessing in the period of time it's frozen while it's caching or something, but if you're restoring a few thousand messages it does take a bit to catch up; a few hundred messages typically come up almost instantly as I experienced this with my G2, G3, and V10. This behavior would suggest a poorly coded app in that the app isn't properly multi-threaded on that specific task - it could just be that the developers just overlooked it or something like that. On Samsung phones and other apps where that task is properly multi-threaded you can start using the app immediately but you notice conversations being updated and stuff like that.
As to a good messaging app.. It depends on what features you want. If you utilize Advanced Messaging, you're stuck with stock. If you don't mind losing Advanced Messaging then you can use practically whatever you want. A good option I used to use was Textra which offers an insane amount of custom options to make it look and feel the way you want. Android Messages is another good one, although pretty bare bones when it comes to customizations.

Yatta is a good messaging app totally customizable in every aspect.
