Root Gmail issue since root

[Chuntsman949]

ever since I rooted I have been having some gmail issues.. I cannot send out, and my inbox will show that I have 10 emails but nothing in the in box, when I go online to check, all 10 will be there... any ideas on what is happening.. I searched but found no solutions...

 

[JackT]

Any more information on your rooting? What method did you use, what ROM are you using, have you done things like reboot, or delete the account and re-add it, etc?

 

[Chuntsman949]

I used unrevoked, and am using the standard ROM, never deleted gmail and re added... I have backed up my phone, and restored it using clock work... that is it

 

[JackT]

I haven't run into this issue before so I am just throwing out ideas. You could try signing out of that Gmail account, killing the sync with it, and then resigning in and having it resync. You could also try removing the entire account and adding it back.

 

[Chuntsman949]

when you say remove the account, you mean to a factory wipe correct?

 

[JackT]

Can you go under "Accounts" in setting and remove the account? Then add it back.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications, and 'clear data' for gmail.
Next time you open gmail, it will need to sync everything again.

If that doesn't work, use titanium backup and uninstall gmail. Reboot the phone. Go to market and reinstall gmail.

neither of these methods worked for me.

this is a gmail issue that I have been having for about 3 weeks. it comes and goes.

for whatever reason..gmail is occasionally not syncing. it does what the original poster said...it also will not delete emails on the gmail server...thogh they are deleted on the phone. it is really really hit or miss.

what i have started doing now (rather tha going to the desktop to view and delete the culprit emails) is going to the stokc mail app when the "ghost notification" is present. the emails dload jsut fine there and I delete them and the notification on gmail icon goes away.

I am just about ready to go to the stock email app as it works flawlessly. I have just become accustomed to using the gmail app


cliff notes...i am on fresh 3.3 and have the same issue...no real fix found. belief is that it is a server issue

I hate to revive a semi-old thread, but I just encountered this problem recently after restoring a nandroid backup. Every email I deleted on the phone would not sync to the server. I was able to fix it by just uninstalling the latest gmail update through manage applications, and letting it automatically reinstall. It seems to work just fine now. Apparently this sort of thing doesn't work for everyone. Mr. Ed, did you ever get gmail working correctly?

 

[Mr. Ed]

For the most part it works...given the widespread reports and the fact that it just 'started to work' one day I have summed it up to be an issue on gmails end

I had a similar issue on SteelH's rom. I doubt it was the roms issue but it has started when i used that rom.

When i got emails, i could open them, but they wouldnt register as opened when i checked my inbox online.
Also i could not send out.

I starting using the mail app for another email account i have, and it gave me the same problems.. I dont know why i couldnt send out, i have since switched roms though so i dont have the issue anymore

 

[Mr. Ed]

it wouldn't be unheard of that it could be a rom issue...but in my case I never changed rom's ....it just started working again...and occasionally it stops....then starts working again later that same day

 

[akazabam]

How weird is that. I'd only ever had the problem once or twice, and it was only one or two emails. This last time, though, absolutely nothing gmail related would sync from the phone to the server. It seems there are different causes/fixes/symptoms for this particular problem.

I was having issues with sending emails. I uninstalled the updates through the market and that seems to have fixed my issues. I'm running myns rls 4

Guys,

I am not sure if this is relevant for any of them. But i faced the same issue. Infact the issue in my case was due to the low internal memory. As soon as i cleared some application (uninstalled applications), Gmail, Gtalk and market, all fucntioned as if the issue never occured.
So just thought of sharing it with you so that someone might get benefitted out of it!! Hope it helped

I started having the exact same issue as of a few days ago:

1. inbox on phone is not deleting them from Gmail's servers - if I log on the web they are still there (And the phone inbox counter shows them too - just not on the phone screen).

2. Will not send outbound emails at all.

Rooted, Fresh 3.5 ROM, stock kernel. Last outgoing email was 12/25, about the time I had to do a restore after a botched 3.5 upgrade.

Any suggestions?

 

[akazabam]

Did you try any of the suggestions in this thread?

I'm experiencing the same issue and have been on/off for the past several weeks. I've tried everything listed in this thread but the issue seems to keep cropping up.

The latest thing I'm trying, which I found in Myn's thread at XDA, is to go to the settings within Gmail/Labels/Choose "Sync all" in both the Inbox and Priority Inbox settings (original setting for both was 4 days). Just tried this yesterday so not sure if it will work or not

I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4 and since everyone here that has had the issue seems to be running different roms, my guess would be that it's Gmail sync related.

Just had this problem pop up on me again and following the directions above I removed the update and went to the market and installed it again. Right after that I was able to send an email...

I had this issue with myns rom. I messed with it, but finally just reinstalled everything and I was golden. I am also on Fresh again, which works fine too. Not sure what the exact problem was, but a reinstall solved it for me.
