[Q] Gmail application / Samsung email application

I would like to stop using the integrated Gmail application!
Is that possible.
I'm using, and its very nice, the Samsung application.
If I try to uninstall it tells me that it can uninstall only the updates.
The issue is that both Samsung and Gmail application have push notification and I get notified from both.
Thank you in advance

nobody?
I dont want to use any more the build in client Gmail.....

Have you tried going into Gmail ->Menu-> accounts and deleting yours? I guess that would stop it from notifying new mail.

Like dandon said DISABLE THE GMAIL SYNC in Accounts and Sync.
OR
Use System App Remover to remove Gmail. Do this at your own risk.
You should be rooted to use this app.

I have layer preinstalled, would the app remover get rid of it without affecting the phone normal operation.
Thanks

I don't think removing Layar should affect the system. No idea.
I've tried removing Adobe flash and everything's fine.

Layar can be removed safely. In fact, all apps that you can find on the Samsung Market can be removed. There's a slight issue with task manager though. If you press and hold the home button, a window appear with a task manager bar. Pressing that will result in an error. Nothing major that will affect normal phone usage though.
But NEVER remove Gtalk.

Guys...
the idea is to have the synchronization with the account of gmail(for contacts) but not to use the Gmail build in application.
After using the Samsung Email application for Gmail and Yahoo, I have now in the menu "Accounts and Sync" two accounts that I can sync.
My question is: how to remove the account only from the Gmail application and not from the Sync menu.
Thank you,

Contacts can be synced between phone and google via exchange active sync

[Q] Google Contacts

I use Google as my contact repository and make a lot of use of groups.
As the built in Kindle Fire HD person app does not touch groups, what route is there to having all my contact information on the Kindle. I use aContact on my phone which gives a nice interface to the Google contact data but I can not work out how to get the native Google contact data synced to my Kindle.
I have followed another thread and have Sync Settings installed and can see the Google sync settings and on the Google account there is no contact option. The only contact option is on the Exchange and Amazon accounts.
Any ideas how I can get the Google contact data to sync.

I wish I had a better answer but I have loaded several google apps on my hd and in the "people" app that I believe is amazons I note my google contacts are in it...
I'm guessing it autoloaded the list into it

You need to download Google Apps from Huawei App Store, as it is the china model that does not have Google Apps preinstalled.
1. Open App Center
2. Search for "Google"
3. Click the banner in the top
4. Install the apps from there, there is calendar and contact sync add-ins
To add your Google account open play store (it is not available to add from settings). If you have already logged in, go to settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Account (email) and tick of contact and calendar sync after installation.

did as described.... for some reason I only have calendar sync, but not contacts?? Can't find a contacts app in Play store.
What can I do?

You need to find the contact sync app in Huawei App Store ("HiApp"), not Play store.
1. Open Huawei App Center / HiApp
2. Search for "Google"
3. Click the banner in the top
4. Install the apps from there, there is calendar and contact sync add-ins

Oh yeah - it works.
Thanks a lot for this...!!!!

Gmail app empty after 7.0 update. Any solutions?

Updated to 7.0 and all my apps. My Gmail app doesn't show any email when I open the app. However I do see the notifications for my email on lock screen and in notification tray but when I click on it the app loads empty.
I tried to uninstall and reboot where it will work on first boot but after awhile the Gmail app won't show the email.
Any suggestions?

Try Aquamail

Do you have exchange accounts? If so, remove them then swipe Gmail away from the recent apps screen. If it returns to normal, try adding exchange accounts one by one slowly.

Can't get New Contacts to sync from Phone to Google

I've tried clearing cache, wiping, reinstalling a new Rom, new Gapps. No matter I try I can't seem to get new contacts which I create on my device to then get synced to my Google account.
*Yes, I'm saving my new contact to my Google account (not to my phone's SIM card)
*Yes I've made sure that Contacts is syncing, and have tried forcing a manual sync numerous times. It says that has synced, and will even download new contacts I create on my Google account (on a computer)
Any ideas?
Running CrDroid 7.1.2
Nexus 6

Which contacts app are you using? Not familiar with that ROM so I don't know if it might come with an AOSP contacts app?
In the google app, in the edit contact screen, right at the top (under the picture) is where it'll tell you where it is saving the contact. Just to double check that account is correct on the contacts that aren't syncing?
In settings -> apps -> contacts app, are the permissions all enabled? Is there more than one contacts app listed? If so, disable the one you're not using.
I think you said you checked this, but in settings -> apps -> accounts -> Google is contacts enabled? And settings -> apps -> accounts -> the 3-dot menu is auto-sync checked?
There's always the age-old; turn sync on/off multiple times thing ☺
The last thing I would try is to remove the account from my phone then add it back. There was a day when that process felt like part of the ROM flashing procedure. ?

First try https://mail.google.com to check if you logged in with the same account on your phone.

I am. Is that a problem?
*edit: I signed out from the browser, and still have the issue.

That was only to check the internet connection and access to your Gmail account.
The post of @ktmom doesn't solve the sync issue. In that case you could try to install the Google contacts app from the play store.

@NLBeev
@jon.s.nelson
I assumed that there was internet available since in the OP it was stated that contacts which had been updated online via a PC were being downloaded to the phone.
The choke point seems to be getting the contacts created on the phone to sync up to google. That's why I focused on app related issues, with the end point being a hiccup in the actual account on the phone.

Yes. The security update of September contains a new Google contacts app.

Good to know. I'm using PN and we don't have an update yet.
