I'm having problems sending messages in my gmail. I have no problem reviving but when I try to send my messages r stuck in the out box no matter how many times I refresh my gmail. I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem and found a solution. I would like to fix this without a wipe and reflash.

Tried rebooting? How about wifi?
Yup tried revolting any I get the same problem whit or without WiFi.
Did you find a solution? I realised this morning, that I can't send mails through Gmail from my G1 anymore. Already tried rebooting, but that didn't solve it. I got no wifi at hand, but will test this evening and post my findings then.
Don't mind it. Just found a solution myself. Just cleared Gmail Apps' data and everything is back to normal. Perhaps that will work for you too, if you did not find a solution yet.
Yep,
I had a problem with sending and updating what was new and was unread on the website. Clearing the gmail storage and the other gmail email cache fixed it right up.
Clearing the gmail storage/data worked for me as well but the solution only worked for a day and then I had to do it again. I will have to see how long it lasts this time around. Does anyone know the reason why this is occurring? While the above is technically a solution, it appears to only be a quick fix. If we can figure out what is causing the problem then it won't happen again.
I can tell you that it happened to me for the first time when I upgraded from Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 to 3.9.8. I downgraded and still had the problem and that's when I cleared the storage. I really don't think it had anything to do with the upgrade/downgrade especially since I used a Nandroid restore which put a stable version back on my phone.
Just my 2 cents.
Well, somewhere I read that this happened to someone after updating / installating an app using the send intent. I am not sure whether it was at that time I updated Bluex, but it may be.
I dwnloaded bluex a lil ago maybe that might be it I'm going to unistall and see
Maybe, but I have to say that I only had those problems once and they did not reoccur for me.
Also I did not have that problem when running the official ROM. But I only had Bluex for a short while on the official, because receiving files made me root my phone.
Any updates on this issue? I don't have Bluex, fyi. However, I occasionally have this problem, and only clearing the Gmail storage fixes it... for a short time anyway. It's very frustrating, considering this is a Google phone and that's my primary email. I need to be able to send my emails quickly without having to constantly clear the storage...especially since I have 75+ mb free on the device and hundreds of mb free on my ext3 partition. As best as I can tell, this also affects synchronizing with Google's servers (obviously)... so if I delete an email on my phone or pc, it doesn't show that change on the other device.
my phone is messed up. this is what i HAD:
cyanogen 4.1.9999 and using handcent sms. everythnig worked fine in terms of my sms. got my messages on time, in order, and all of mine would go through fine.
NOW i have:
cyanogen 4.2.1 and still using handcent. now my messages are random. sometimes it works, sometime i plain never get them. sometimes mine go through, sometimes they just get stuck in "sending". then other times ill get a message but hours later. and even ill get like 3 messages at once hours later, and they wont even be in the correct order!
now im not entirely sure what happened here. but i analysed everything and its seems to me that the problem might be the rom. because its just abuot the only thing that has changed from when it used to work. i did not wipe as cyanogen himself said it was not nessacery. i did do the fix permissions and fix file systems. didnt really help. but i have a few questions:
is anyone else having sms issues after updating?
OR is anyone else in the los angeles area having sms issues?
because ive also noticed that my 3g has gotten real crappy lately.
what could the problem be and what would you guys advise? please help. if its because tmobile is upgrading to that 7.2mbps thing then okay! lol if not then wtf? im not paying $70 a month for this garbage. i strongly think its tmobile but who knows. oh wait, YOU knows
I'm having the same issues on this ROM, I reflash and typically SMS works for a day or two and then totally ****s up.

same here and im on the 4.2.5 ....
I had same problem with Handcent and CM, reverted to Chomp and finally just use the "stock" sms app, it made the problem better but I am missing texts once and a while.
that's strange. I am not having this problem at all with handcent. I have been using it with all my cyanogens and I am currently running 4.2.5 and have used all his previous ones without this problem
This is so annoying! Cyanogenmod shouldn't be considered "stable" when there are stupid bugs like this. It's so embarrassing to ask people to resend their texts. Try bragging about the Android OS/Cyanogenmod to them after that.
I have a theory, only a theory mind you... and I am only a noob. But it seems like the missing texts problem on my phone is often related to the fact I am streaming audio via bluetooth to my hands free sytem while driving.
If I send texts to myself via Google voice while listening to music or Beyondpod, it is extremely unlike to reach me, but if I try again with music stopped I receive texts much more frequently. Anyone having this experience?
Or does anyone want to test this theory out?
Also would moving my notification sounds to system (currently on SD, since CM didn't include them) possibly help?
just clear the cache in sms. AND flash the new ROM.

The problem with that sentiment is that it's not the rom. The information you guys are giving is extremely limited. djcalamari took it a step in the right direction by letting us know what other things he was doing when the messages were missed. Theres also about a hundred other factors that could be causing your texting woes. I, for one, have never had any problems with texting on any version of CM, even the experimental builds. I can also vouch for tons of people who havent either.
Have you tried wiping and then reflashing? Have you tried formatting your ext partition? Have you tried clearing app data? Have you contacted your provider to make sure theres not a problem related to your sim? Cause you might want to try some of those things before blaming the developer for problems that only a very small number of people seem to be having.
I am going to wipe and reflash, been trying to avoid doing this but the problem warrants it. Backing up apps right now via Astro.
Question: If I wipe ext, can I just copy the files (i.e my apps)...wipe, then paste them back with no ill effects? What would be the best way to do this using a windows pc? A live cd of linux, or is there some easier way?
Hopefully it wont come to that, though. I don't know if I really want to wipe the ext, seems risky? I know these are noob questions, sorry in advance.

They're not noob questions, dont sweat it. At least you're being proactive. Heres what I would recommend you do:
make sure you have Amon_RA's 1.3.2 recovery installed. Once you do, boot to recovery, go to the console, type "utility" at the prompt and select the option to back up your apps to your FAT partition. Once it finishes, go back to the recovery menu, mount the sd card to your computer from the menu, and make a complete backup of your fat partition to your computer. After that, unmount the card and triple partition your card. This ensures that all of the data and symlinks get erased and the card is fresh. Once you do that, throw everything back on the card, follow the initial steps above (console->utility) and select the restore apps to ext option.
that takes care of your SD card. after thats all done (shouldnt take more than 5 minutes to do all that), perform a system wipe and then reflash the latest CM. reboot and you're all set.
My response to the HERO mms/sms thread...
Too bad the damn search function is limited to 4 characters.
Theres a laundry list of Roms with SMS/MMS issues. Most have unique fixes.
Best advice is to wipe , reformat your SD card , and start from scratch with said ROM. That way you eliminate most of the "problem is on your end" situations.
Too many roms get knocked out of wack for no apparent reason. Its almost impossible to search for a solution with a 4 character limit.
Ive had MMS issues with nearly every ROM Ive tried. Much as I love the performance had to move away from Cyan for now because my MMS issues were persistent with those ROMS.
i was haveing this same problem when i was running his roms so i called tmo and they said it was due to tower problems that ws 9 months ago ive since moved about 8-12 miles east of where i lived chaged roms but still use handcent....tmo and still sayin tower problems but " new towers will be built in roughly 120 days" from what tmo says i dont think its his builds its prolly tmo ...
by the way i live in wpb fl far far far away from ca but i was having a simialr issues so i figured id let ya kno oh yea and by calling and *****ing to tmo about it i got 10- 15 off my bill for 3 months ...it was to the point i was calling everyday submiting trouble tickets would ya kno it as soon as i hung up the reps were clearing out the problems ...go figure...

Thanks for the good advice. I am going to do this right now, that recovery image sounds pretty cool, lots of useful features! I hope this relieves my SMS issues after all is said and done, because other than this one issue, I love the rom!
If it doesn't, I may have to drop it, or my textaholic girlfriend may drop me!

wohh dude thats weird a year from the day you posted this and my phone starts having this same exact problem out of nowhere...
HTC hero Cyanogen v6.0
[comment removed - wrong forum]
Occasionally i would receive that error message
"A problem has occurred with services.exe"
Sometimes it would appear after a phone call or after sending sms. I haven't notice anything wrong with the phone as of yet. Anybody know what exactly is causing this message to appear??
Thanks in advance.
I have had the same messages with the R1 firmware, with several non-standard firmwares, and after a restore with several backup software except with SPB Backup that makes perfect restores.
The only way to avoid these messages is hard reset + reinstall all your data and all your programs.

I was hoping I could avoid going that route T__T I guess not. Thanks for the info anyway.
Ok, I've mentioned this in the main damage thread, but it moves along too fast and gets lost among the shuffle and I don't want to clutter it anymore.
I, and I've noticed at least two other people, have not been able to send out emails since trying the OC kernel on dc 2.08.
The OC never worked well on my hero to begin with (guess I'm one of the people unlucky enough to have a processor that works just where it needs to and no more), so the first thing I did was a nandroid back to plain 2.08. But I still had the no email problem.
I've since then tried flashing a boot image provided by another user with no luck (but doing that does break wifi), flashing 2.08 over itself, upgrading to what turned out to be the broken 2.09, then downgrading back to 2.08, then reflashing over itself again, and earlier nandroids.
All that has still left me unable to send out emails. Or any data through email, such as when I delete an email on my phone hours later it will still show up when I log into gmail on my computer.
I've been on the phone with sprint and their advanced techs. Their guess is that somehow my email clients started using a blocked port to try and send out email info. The only way they know of to fix is to erase the account and start a new one. with gmail the only way to do that is to hard reset. So I made a nandroid, did a factory wipe, and tried that. When trying to create a new account I get the message that the mobile network is not available and to try using wifi instead. (This leads me to believe that the blocked port theory is probably correct)
So... how do I get my email accounts using a different not blocked port?
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A as not development related
Clearing data and cache in gmail and gmail storage under manage applications seems to have cleared this up. At the least, temporarily.
I am experiencing some unusual Gmail issues the past week...
The problems have been seen running CM6 RC3 as well as FRF91 STOCK. I've also tried both the latest "official" radio as well as the Korean radio.
Gmail delivers to the phone without issues, but after marking emails read, Gmail on any PC I've used does not show those emails as read.
Also, any reply or new email that I send sits stuck in the outbox. Checking on the PC does not show that the message sent.
The phone has plenty of available memory. It has been rebooted time and time again. Caches have been cleared out.
Any ideas as to what the issue might be and how I can remedy? Needless to say, this is rather upsetting, not to mention is defeating one of the purposes that I got the phone for.
Any feedback is appreciated!
