Newbie here that just downloaded latest Android. Now running 4.1.2 version on Boost Mobile phone. Model Number N861.

After downloading, GMail won't stay sync'ed. Also, Enterprise Outlook won't "push" / Sync?

Also, lost ALL of my Post It Note notes - wiped out.

My Messaging (at bottom of screen) shows I have 2 messages at all times unread when I have ZERO unread. Have deleted that program from front screen and put it back (where it shows no messages) and when I put it at bottom of screen, the 2 msg's show up again....

HELP PLEASE!!
 
hello, oldguard! Welcome to the forums! :)

If my research is correct, then we have a forum for you with folk that have your phone.

ZTE Warp Sequent - Android Forums

If that is right, and if you would like, I would be happy to move your post there for you. :)

Otherwise, check it out and maybe ask some questions in there.

Good luck, and thanks for joining!

Yep, have gone into Google and re-sync'd it more than once (or twice). It just turns off on it's on.

If you are full stock and completely unmodified, you could try a factory reset from settings, Backup & Reset, Factory data reset.

Keep in mind this will wipe your phone clean deleting anything you have stored on it. If gmail still doesn't work after that I would consider one of two options:

1. contact zte for a replacement

2. If you are computer savvy and feel like diving in deeper, you could head over to the All Things Root forum

It also shows 2 Messages in "Messenger" and I have NO unread ones. I removed the Messenger logo from the bottom of the home screen then re-installed it on the home screen and it shows 2 messages. When I look at it (not on my home screen) it shows no messages.
What gives????

Please see post #8 above...the same advice applies here.

yea a factory reset sounds like its gonna be your solution. old version of messengers files are saying two messages, new version cant see the messages, or update the number... causes a bit of a conflict. cant say for sure that is whats going on but it certainly seems like a good possibility. i was under the impression that the update did a factory reset, but obviously it doesnt always
