Google Mail problem

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.

Facebook sync

Hey guys!
I'm running the new froyo (rel:11 themed) and I am still having the same problem I have always had with android. On a real android phone one would go to settings> accounts and sync> add account> facebook. This would add my facebook contacts and should technically sync the profile pictures of my current contacts. The problem is when I click on "facebook", it just kicks me back to the main accounts and sync page. I really just want to update my current contacts with their current facebook pics. I know there are apps for it, but they are all pretty bad. Plus I should be able to just do it on my phone without any other apps. Let me know what the deal is and if you guys have have any suggestions.
Thanks

no one knows why?

people probably know why, they have probably answered it atleast a few times
the forum search is a beautiful thing.
if its anything like it was in eclair for some reason facebook only likes to sync with a certain phone (i think its the Dream). something needs to be changed for it to work K_K did this in his eclair build i dont think anybody has in Froyo yet

FYI
This may have already been posted but the new facebook app in the market will sync correctly with Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.

Can't remember where, but I know I saw it in the XDA Developers forums.
Risk about sync with facebook is your contact database gets huge.
Some people have reported sizes of 50+MB for contacts, because of pictures, etc.
You might not want to do that... just stick with the google contacts.

i notice that it runs without any problems in cyanogen, but fresh froyo is still missing this feature, even after installing latest facebook 1.3.2! you can select adding a facebook account, but nothing will happen. and the possibility to sync after installing facebook and setting it up, is missing too. any ideas anyone?
already checked the forum and searches... no solution helped (clearing app-cache,e.g.)

Get the Google apps zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722801
Then try adding the GooglePartnerSetup.apk to the install archive (use 7-zip) and reinstall.
No idea if it works but Fresh Froyo doesn't have all the Google Apps apk's unlike the CyanogenMod port and that one sounds like it could have something to do with it.

...starting! will post results...

used the latest un-odexed fresh froyo and added googlepartnersetup.apk... didnt do the trick. next step: adding all the google apps 2 see, if there is anything working then.

not working either... so its not depending on one of googles apks from that package.

Any luck with this? Having the same problem.

have you got the latest Facebook app from the market. It was suppose to fix the issue

yep, latest facebook doent do the trick either... no solution found yet!

[Q] Problems with Market..

Hi everyone!
I have searched,,, and not found an answer..
I am trying to update Titanium Back and Beautiful Widgets but the downloading status bar on my Nexus One does not change.
My Nexus One is rooted and runs a Modaco Rom which I only updated last week..
I deleted Titanium Backup and thought I would re-boot and then download again, but when I access the Market, the two apps are still trying to download.
I try force close but nothing resolves the problem.
Any advice much appreciated!

I think the market (on Google's end) was having problems earlier. I decided to do a clean wipe of my phone last night and couldn't get the market to work at all, download unsuccessful, download paused, stuck at starting download. Found lots of threads on Google Support Forums, and a long one in the Galaxy S forum here on XDA. People were suggesting everything from clearing cache to removing and reinserting sim cards.
Bottom line, it seems to be working perfectly now, haven't had a failed download in the last couple hours. Don't know if Google is having market issues or not but it doesn't seem to be phone/rom dependent.

Thanks!
I still have the same problem.
I downloaded Titanium Back via a website and not the Market. It is the latest version, and I also paid, via the Market for the Pro licence.
But I still get the same problem with the Market continually trying to download both Titanium Backup and Beautiful Widgets.
edit - tried deleting data for the Market App, and on the third try, with re-boot, problem has resolved.
Unfortunately, icons in some of my GDE screens have disappeared.

[Q] Process com.motorola.contacts has stopped unexpectedly

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.

Broke Calendar Sync

Hey guys,
So after rooting my Droid 3, I sort of went nuts with Titanium freezing thing. I froze ~everything that looked even REMOTELY Motorola/Verizon.
A side effect of this is that I seem to have broken the Google Apps Calendar Sync. When I go to Accounts > Google, I no longer have "Sync Calendar", I have Sync com.android.calendar. It indicates "Sync is currently having problems. It will be back shortly." Of course, it doesn't ever come back.
What have I frozen/removed that would cause this, and is there an easy way to get my Google Calendar sync back?
THANKS!!
PS. My God this thing works 1000x better with out the bloatware!

Freezing apps is so 2011.
Just use a debloated ROM, or even use the debloat script (which is also outdated but not as outdated as freezing with tibu )

Yeah, I tried to use the bloat script but just couldn't get it to go. It kept crashing after the first couple of steps, so I went the Titanium Route.
I'm anxiously awaiting a Beta of the JB ROM, then I'm definitely going that route, but in the meantime, I need to figure out what I did!

I'm not even sure if the script still works (dont see why not but still).
I'd just install safestrap and get yourself mavrom or eclipse or w/e :good: . Even better than stock rom without bloat
Mavrom:

Eclipse:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/teamhaters/210971-eclipse-v3-0-droid-3-port.html

I will check that out.
Other than installing a new ROM, do you have any idea how I could fix the calendar sync?

If you really want to stay with your method.. I seem to recall others having calander problems after freezing some apks like yahoomessaging or socialmessaging or whatever in one of the older de-bloat topics. You might try and search for it (calender)

Double,
Thanks for the tip, you put me on the right track. It had been covered-ish in the Bloat Removal Script thread.
In case anyone else has this problem, I had to take Root Explorer and restore (rename the .bak) of the following files:
BlurCalendarProvider.apk
BlurCalendarProvider.odex
CalendarSync.apk
CalendarSync.odex
After I did that, the sync worked as expected.
Thanks for the help!!
