Samsung Email app sync gets turned off - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have three gmail accounts which I have configured on the Samsung Email app, but one gmail account doesn't sync. No matter how many times I turn on sync for that particular gmail account, it turns itself off. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Try clearing/resetting the data for that app or email account in settings/application manager.

No you are not the only one. The stock email app is a very poorly written app. I reset, cleared data many times. The same thing. Automatic push will work for the first hour or so, then, never managed to pull emails in a timely manner. I get random push, but when I check the time code, they are anywhere from 30 min to 3 hours late. GMAIL works as it should.
Either switch over to gmail or try K9. Works much better.

Any other comments? I would like to keep using Samsung Email app.

It's always been checked, and I still run into the issue.

Delete the account or use gmail. It's obviously a problem with the junk app if you have all the options set to where they would go. Also when you post try waiting up to a week until you bump it. People will still see your post.

Err...
I know this post is a million years old but I just could not help commenting on it. It is response to post like this that makes the internet such a crappy place to be.
If you do not know the answer, please help find the answer. Even if it is obvious to you, it might not be obvious to us all.
If you do not know the answer, please stop saying, "Oh, its a crap program. Go use something else" It just mean that you don't know the answer and just want to be a troll.
Be more constructive and say, "Oh, its a crap program because..." < INSERT YOUR OPINION ON WHY ITS A CRAP PROGRAM > "...but if you really want to use it, you would need to..." < INSERT INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO RESOLVE ISSUE ASKED BY THE OP >
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Everyone has a opinion. Where is your fact to back it up?
In any case, to those that comes here looking for the answer to the OP question:
Hit the <Home> button if not already there.
Hit the <Menu> button.
Select <Setting>.
If you have muti-tab menus in Setting, select <Connections>
Scroll down to <Data usage>, if needed.
Hit the <Menu> button.
Click on <Auto sync data>, to check mark it as on.
Hit the <Home> button, again.
Select the email app and sync.
If that doesn't do it for you, its because the email app is crap

Can't open contacts

Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it. When I try to open up contacts it will send me back to the home screen and says "aab initializing" Never seen this before in any android so I'm kinda lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind got it. It was caused by freezing the att apps.

Which AT&T app did you need to unfreeze to get contacts to work again?
I'm betting it was contact sync. I used to close that service all the time cause I didn't care if my contacts were being backed up by ATT. Turns out it was controlling my entire contact app.
Yeah it was the contact sync, if I remember correctly. Been so long since I was on the stock rom can't say for sure.

Error 403 driving me nuts.

I've tried everything I can, from removing accounts to clearing cache and data. I've removed the account and re added.
I bought dogcatcher with account 1.
If I remove account 1 and add account 2, it still thinks I've purchased it. I've removed both and added number 2 back. Same issue and so far only with this app.

Did I got it right? Purchased an app with Acc 1, get an error when trying to update it with acc 2? Or is it just showing as "purchased" with Acc 2?
Showing as purchased which is odd. I don't mind buying again. It just won't let me.

Also note the phone refuses to connect to anything Google related. Google.com times out, there is no option to add a Google account anymore, Gmail fails to sync, play store fails to connect. Is there a gapps for the one i can flash?

After much investigation, it turns out it was my network, three.
However, the problem with 403 is still present. It's got so bad, I've had to buy another podcast app to tide me over. Looks like Doggcatcher is off the menu. Shame, but I'm tired of pissing about with this.
I surrender. Voice recorder pro is doing it now. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Same. Even after wiping and only adding one account, it still does it with the same apps. There must be a more serious issue. I can't use apps I've paid for and have to buy alternatives.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I thought I would try again today, still the same thing. I've had to BUY 3 alternative apps because the ones I bought will no longer download. Sick of it.
If any of you guys are still there, I made this thread with a solution to help solve this error. http://androidforums.com/internatio...ror-24-insufficient-storage-space-solved.html
It turns out that there is some residue data from installing the app before which leads the app to not install. It's tested and worked for me. Please gimme a thanks if it worked.

Thanks man, but didn't work for me.
I did a search for anything doggcatcher related on my phone, not a single file.
The only option I can fathom is to find an apk of it. I've paid for it, I can't use it unless I pirate it. Makes sense.

YouTube app questioni

So every single time I open up the YouTube app, I have to make one of these selection... Both are the same account.
It's kind of annoying. Any ideas how to make it stop?

hey man...dont know exactly whats causing that so i cant give you a pin point resolve. however my advice to fix this would be to revoke access to all of your apps auto logins. just sign out of everything google. then clear your you tube cache under settings/apps/all/......also clear your google cache. you would have to relogin the one time, but it should erase the duplicate entry.
Thank you very much for the response & suggestion!
But unfortunately it didn't fix it....
Idk maybe I'll just make another Gmail account specifically for YouTube.

How the hell do u get the stock calculator app to shut up!?

The phone says out loud everything I press, it's sooo annoying. Talk Back feature isnt enabled. I actually use the calculator on my phone alot this sucks. Any help is appreciated
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.
I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.
Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.
Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

Alright got it to finally shut up ! I cleared cache and data on the calculator app then I started getting a notification for the workaround from Greenify I guess . Whatever, it's done now and thank you guys ! What caused all this on a out of the box new note 4? It should have been easier than all that

NOTE 4
On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.

What's your email app?

I've tried 20 apps and I don't really like most of them.
What are ppl using?
I honestly liked the old 4.1 stock app and want something similar.
I want manual sync, but I want the app to auto sync upon opening, which surprisingly none of them do. I know u just have to pull down to sync, but hey, one less step, is one less step.
I also am having trouble finding an app where u can easily delete from the app. I think I'm deleting emails throughout the day, only to find them all still there when I go to hotmail on my computer.
When I hit delete, I want it to delete, not go to trash so I have to open an entirely different folder and delete that for it to really be gone.
I'm just going to keep trying them, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I use OWA Webmail app. As my employer has prevented me configuring mail apps for our exchange server. This one works though!
try this Email Mail Exchange @Blue
Have you tried Mailbox by Dropbox? I've been using Inbox by Google since it came out. I like the idea but it can get confusing at times. Gonna give Mailbox a try since it comes highly recommended.
Aquamail
I'm actually using Lollipop Gmail, considering it now supports other mail accounts natively.
Of course, it doesn't have any fancy features... But I enjoy it. It works well.

Profimail for corporate mail and Inbox for Gmail.
It will be great when the guys release the feature of getting mail from Exchange.
