Help Weird google mail sync issue

Try this (if you haven't already):

Go to Power Control widget (in Apps). 2nd icon from the right controls sync/refresh or whatever. If it isn't highlighted, Gmail doesn't check mail in real time. Something like that.

I checked it. It is on. The contacts and calendar sync is working perfectly fine. Here is something weird i noticed. My Gmail app is not working now. Not getting email. When i search for Gmail app in the market place i am unable to see the app for my samsung captivate. I know the gmail app got upgraded to 2.2. may be that is causing instability on 2.1 devices that came without gmail preloaded????? Anyone else seeing this?

Did you add any new apps recently?

I added angry birds..and i did an update for ADW launcher..after angrybirds i did not notice any problem..after updating ADW launcher i started having problems with gmail...do i need to remove ADW launcher..reboot and see if that solves the problem? i dont want to unnecessarily uninstall apps that did not cause the problem

Yes. That's what I would do. Sorry you have to go through that, but better that than a hard reset.

I tried all stunts. Nothing seem to revive my gmail app. I uninstalled ADW launcher and all related things to that (like ADW themes etc.) and i did a hard restart (removed the battery and booted again). Gmail app is still not working. also, i am unable to see Gmail app in the market place for my samsung captivate. Does this mean that i have to give up and do a factory reset and reinstall all apps again?
