problems with gmail

I'm having problems sending messages in my gmail. I have no problem reviving but when I try to send my messages r stuck in the out box no matter how many times I refresh my gmail. I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem and found a solution. I would like to fix this without a wipe and reflash.

Tried rebooting? How about wifi?

Yup tried revolting any I get the same problem whit or without WiFi.

Did you find a solution? I realised this morning, that I can't send mails through Gmail from my G1 anymore. Already tried rebooting, but that didn't solve it. I got no wifi at hand, but will test this evening and post my findings then.

Don't mind it. Just found a solution myself. Just cleared Gmail Apps' data and everything is back to normal. Perhaps that will work for you too, if you did not find a solution yet.

Yep,
I had a problem with sending and updating what was new and was unread on the website. Clearing the gmail storage and the other gmail email cache fixed it right up.

Clearing the gmail storage/data worked for me as well but the solution only worked for a day and then I had to do it again. I will have to see how long it lasts this time around. Does anyone know the reason why this is occurring? While the above is technically a solution, it appears to only be a quick fix. If we can figure out what is causing the problem then it won't happen again.
I can tell you that it happened to me for the first time when I upgraded from Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 to 3.9.8. I downgraded and still had the problem and that's when I cleared the storage. I really don't think it had anything to do with the upgrade/downgrade especially since I used a Nandroid restore which put a stable version back on my phone.
Just my 2 cents.

Well, somewhere I read that this happened to someone after updating / installating an app using the send intent. I am not sure whether it was at that time I updated Bluex, but it may be.

I dwnloaded bluex a lil ago maybe that might be it I'm going to unistall and see

Maybe, but I have to say that I only had those problems once and they did not reoccur for me.
Also I did not have that problem when running the official ROM. But I only had Bluex for a short while on the official, because receiving files made me root my phone.

Any updates on this issue? I don't have Bluex, fyi. However, I occasionally have this problem, and only clearing the Gmail storage fixes it... for a short time anyway. It's very frustrating, considering this is a Google phone and that's my primary email. I need to be able to send my emails quickly without having to constantly clear the storage...especially since I have 75+ mb free on the device and hundreds of mb free on my ext3 partition. As best as I can tell, this also affects synchronizing with Google's servers (obviously)... so if I delete an email on my phone or pc, it doesn't show that change on the other device.

New to the Dream, questions! (and yes i searched for these first!)

what up yall! My ATT tilt died a few weeks ago (flex cable went bad, decided it was time to move on) so i got a G1 from my buddy that had a broken digitizer and LCD. ordered the parts online and got it put back together today. few questions though.... it seems that about the bottom 1/4 inch of my touch screen dosent respond....its brand new and the rest of it works fin...just the small strip that seems to not work. any ideas? also t mobile are assholes...i cant get them to unlock it but i will work on that one...im quite sure that answer is on here. Also...do i really need to get a data package or can i choose to keep my phone from constantly connecting and updating my gmail and other apps? thats the reason i continue to get HTC is because i think data plans are silly when everywhere in america has WiFI....i think thats all for now...and ive been a member on here for quite sometime but this android mess is totally different. lol. thank yall!

That 1/4" at the bottoms sounds like a bad digitizer. =/ *Most* likely not software. But you can check by flashing a new ROM and if its a software problem, the new ROM will override whatever was causing it not to work before.
You can get it unlocked for $20 from one of many unlocking websites, just google it. You can't get it free anywhere other than T-Mobile sorry to say.
You don't *need* a data package, I don't have one. There are applications that can disable your data connection except for when you need it (i.e. MMS). Or its a built-in widget with the Hero ROMs.
Unless you have a rooted ROM, you will be required to use your data to even use your phone for the first time as it requires you to sign in to your Google account, but doesn't give you the option to use WiFi. But honestly, I think this phone is crippled without a data connection even if you don't use it all the time, I'm currently waiting for my current plan to end to sign another 2-year contract with data. But its up to you, its certainly still usable with enough WiFi connection points.

darn....its not very fun to take apart...plus i have to wait even longer...im currently using an old school , non color green screen nokia probably digitizer and not some random flex cable along the lines? maybe the black one? i guess there wouldnt be any way to check without replacing. and im not real addicted to any apps or anything, just mainly want it as phone/organizer. im a studennt and have wi fi at the house and at school, and every bar i go to has wi fi so i think im covered =) just making sure i could regulate it so it dosent pull and jack my bill up. if i were to flash a new rom, wouldnt that unlock it....and can you still downgrade it to rc29 when you dont have a t mobile sim card....or rather is there any other way besides adp or should i just go ahead and learn how to use it...seems a bit intimidating to anything ive done on a WMo phone.

you can use apndroid to block data from being used accidentally
flashing a rom will not unlock the phone.
Yes you can downgrade to RC29 without a tmo card

mmmk. so rooting and flashing a HTC rom wouldnt do it? if im correct i either have to go through t-mobile or i have to pay like 20 bucks so i can use it with ATT?

I haven't tried it myself, but this thread tells you how to get around that.

note how that thread tells you to obtain root...

I meant get around not having a Data connection. Rooting is obviously not optional.

ah ok i figured he already found that or would.
sorry

You can root without data. Just activate wifi at RC29 when trying to sign in

Rooted ROMs usually have an option to just skip signing into Google don't they? I know they have that for Hero for sure, but I was pretty sure they implemented that to all the cupcake/Donut ROMs too no?
Basically, you'll only need to use that with RC29. And if you do need to sign in and don't wanna use the work around, I would just go ahead and use the data, its only a few KB of info I think (I've never actually measured it, but I very small amounts on my bill even if I do use it to sign in, also using ATT btw).

all ROM's based on adp (and most modded tmo) have the option to skip (at least im pretty sure)
He just wants to activate his phone without data, which would require him to get down to a root level rom (RC29)
after he logs in, he has the option to root or wait for the OTA update if he wants to stay stock
if he wants to try to use his data, he can try but it doesnt always work (it did for me at first, but not the next few times)

ok so update... believe it was a bad digitizer...sending it back monday for a replacement so a few more days without the new toy) I got it registered to my Gmail and everything, and im currently waiting on my unlock code, so that is squared away. now...new questions.....
1. can i not just uncheck the auto sync and all the other data options or do i have to run adp? to make sure it dosent stay connecting and updating my mail and apps?
2. what positives do i have with rooting/flashing? obviously most of you probably have gone that route, and i really enjoyed flashing with my Tilt and having the newest WinMo, but it was always at the cost of it either being buggy or somethings not working. i know this can be searched but i want the simple answer if yall dont mind
3. i also noticed that the only thing so far that dosent work, is the camera/camcorder. keep in mind i got this phone with a broken lcd/digi. so there may have been other problems but i couldnt tell untill the screen was replaced. could it be i put it back together and missed a cable/contact for the camera, or could it just be software related?
...for now i think thats all the problems i have stumbled across... Thanks you all you are making this very easy for a Android Newbie!

1. That would stop just contacts, calendar, and gmail not all of the other apps that come with the phone
2. Rooting is definitely worth it, loving my hero rom
3. If your on RC29 there is no camcorder, but if not then it's definitely a hardware issue, when I was on stock everything worked fine

Just FYI: the unlock code is phone specific, so if your getting a replacement, the unlock code wont work on that one if the code you got was for the other.
1) If you want to disable data, download and run APNDroid. You can turn off autosync if you want but data will still be used.
2) Rooting has lots of advantages. Themes, faster updates (i.e youll get the latest android before its released OTA) more modifications, use of certain apps such as Ad-Free, etc. cooked android roms are more stable than winmo cooked roms, and you have the option between stable/experimental
3) if it was stock, its probably a hardware error

so could i potenitally not have any apps and not have a data pull problem? or it seems as though just rooting and flashing to hero (would you all go hero, or newer 1.6 stock rom, or custom 1.6?) and ill be taking it back apart to send the bad digitzer back, so ill check the ol camera out. still is stock T-mobile 1.5....no rc29 or anything....yet...

if you still have 1.5, you can use the 1 click root
im using hero right now, but i switch between hero and cyan using the switchrom script
the g1 on stock android will still use data even if you have everything disabled. the only way to completely disable it is by changing the apns, or by disabling mobile data on a hero rom
what was wrong with the camera? give a little more detail so we know if it really is a hardware or software problem

Quiccest way to get unlock code..just tellem you are goin to the uk or sum and you are in need of unlocking since u will be on there network for a while.. Usually that works!

sprint data not working on android

Hi, new poster here. I've only just started to tinker with my vogue after 2 years of suffering through WM6.1, unaware of all the outside possibilities. It's quite impressive really and i'm having a grand time with my new toy.
BUT.
I can't for the life of me understand why the data connection is not working.
I installed incubus' HTCSense release first, and it wouldn't connect (small little orange light next to the Ev symbol in notification bar:warning? error?), so I just wiped everything and installed the latest Donut. Now it says everything's fine, i can connect the modem and all, it even gives me an IP... but nothing that actually uses the data connection works; and I can't ping my IP from the outside, either.
I can't possibly be the only one with this problem, yet no thread on this forum seems to be addressing it. Does anybody know how I could track it down or work out a passable solution? I really don't have much use for Android if all it can do is be all kinds of pretty and switch between 5 screens silky-smoothly...
thanks in advance!
Vianney
PS: note that I'm on a Sprint plan, voice 200m + unlimited data, no text.

have you tried flashing back to stock windows, confirming data, then flashing to android again( either build).which voguimg.nbh file did you use?

Like hunter said, you need to flash back to the stock Sprint rom and provision data. You can download the stock rom for the vogue here or off of the Sprint downloads section. Nine times out of ten data problems seem to be because data wasn't provisioned prior to flashing Android.

this is also a good time to mention the forum search tool. since this question has been answered at least 100 times

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't suppose there's any way to save my settings/data while I flash everything back to winmo?
Provisioning might be the issue. But I had been using my Vogue on WinMo for 2 years and using data with no problem... that said, I changed my data plan from by-the-kb to unlimited since, so it might be that?
Hunter, I used incubus' included NBH for his Eclair, and voguimg-240x320-eclair-29-04-10.nbh for Vym's Warm Donut.
Kyle, I searched for a week before posting here so i'm familiar with this tool, but never could find the right answer; I'll happily educate myself if you provide me with the magic search terms.

Do a reboot and when the text/code starts scrolling push the volume slide up to get the install menu. There should be an option to backup data. When that's done you can put it into bootloader and flash to winmo. Once you know you have data working on winmo, try browsing around a little, you can go back into bootloader and flash the nbh file you're using for Android. When it reboots go back into the install menu. Install the system and then restore data and you're all set.

Many thanks guys, I switched back (after a few hours and scares), provisioned, switched again, and now I'm just having too much fun awesome job.

hi again
Do you have to redo this everytime data stops working? It was doing just great and stopped all of a sudden 36h ago. Now the modem connects but doesn't even get an IP, no data icon appears in notification bar, and yet all the options (sync, background data...) are back to normal.
ifconfig -a gives me info for 'lo', 'dummy0' and 'usb0', all supposedly ok but with no packet (8 on 'lo') and no error to track down.
Is it likely in need of reprovisioning? Am I going to have to do it every 15 days?
thanks,
V

Your data shouldn't just stop working. Have you trie a reboot?

several times yeah.
It's just not even trying. The modem says 'done' but that's it, any app using data just says it couldn't establish a connection... i'm baffled.

Another list of Newb Questions

So apologies up front since these questions have probably already been asked. I've tried looking but haven't found these specific questions, and some may be rather dumb.
-Will switching ROMs have any effect on the phone's connectivity to mobile/data network?
-Will rooting and switching ROMs help me in anyway wit the issues I am having with Google Voice? (I get a "Sprint doesn't support this service because they are sh*theads); not verbatim I added that last part
-Will overlcocking the system (within reason) have a significant effect on battery life?
-Lately when connecting via usb to a pc the phone will charge but not "recognize" the connection (i.e. no connectivity options, pc doesn't "recognize" phone), will rooting and going to a different ROM help?
Thanks to anyone that can help me on this...

seems like purdy solid questions to me, havent seen them asked before. some seem kinda paranoid tho, lol; no, switching roms wont effect your data, it shouldnt at any rate
i havent messe with gv until after i was rooted, but it works for me, that alone would be a reason to root lol
im not sure oc effects battery, but try out purehero or darchdroid, garunteed a whoe day heavy use
sounds like an issue, abother reason to root!!

Thanks for the reply.
I guess while I have this thread started I can continue with some additional questions that keep coming to mind as I figure out my rooting plan.
-Will rooting on my Mac prevent me from accessing the Hero's code on my Win XP machine? That is to say can you go from one to the other (Mac to PC) with out issues?
-Where should I go to get an understanding of nandroid backups, wiping, and flashing ROMs? I would really like to know how it works (like do you wipe then back up then flash the ROM?) before I get this started.
-When you do a nandroid backup is it a back up of the phones current status or is it like a manufacturer's default?
Thanks again for the reply I am really looking forward to breaking free from stupid manufacturer settings/limitations....

Your here and Backup, wipe, flash, restore if need be
-When you do a nandroid backup is it a back up of the phones current status or is it like a manufacturer's default?
Current internal memory bit for bit copy of /system and /data maybe others - symlinks location outside of the parition(Aps2sd) doesn't get included

Sprint doesn't support getting your voicemail settings into Google Voice automagically. You can log into Google Voice on the web and set your voicemail to go through Google Voice, though. You just have to punch in a *, a code that includes your Google Voice number and it works. After some testing, though, I did find out that you have to punch that code in every time you wipe and put in a new ROM, though. I was wondering why my voicemail wasn't working for a while. LOL

random problems with captivate

I been having weird issues with my captivate. Latley on wifi connection I would have no internet, YouTube, or market. Even sometimes on 3g my YouTube will say no communication or server error as well as android market. It started happening a month ago where my phone kept saying force close cause of facebook and android something and I had to reset it back to default. (People said there was no fix).
Last night I had to reset it again because it kept saying it was downloading a program from the market and never stopped for 2 days. It also disabled any downloadable update. So before I reset I unrooted it with z4 mod and reset. Also wiring stopped working.
It was OK until I rooted with z4 and now I'm starting to get connection issues. It doesn't matter what house I'm at its the same. I rooted it before by using the computer and busybox and it was fine
If the issues only happen when its on wifi....YouTube will never work. It will say error or no network and refuse to do anything even on 3g. And it will never ever let me log into my Google account anymore. I know I'm using the right password cause I can log into my home computer
Also my TV out is all static and blurry regardless of pal or NTSC output and it doesn't work regardless of the plug I use and TV. I even switched all rcas to make sure the video isn't in another output
I'm on eclair 2.1. I am really irritated and tired after a day of searching. Thanks!

An easy way to check to see if its software and not hardware would be to flash stock with Odin. And test again.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Unfortunately I didn't back it up: :/
Also I never flashed before

I was going to try to learn how to flash and I just remembered this phone would never go into its boot menu. I used to be able to use sdk to do it but after my last reset it doesn't work
I'm not dumb I done every method that people said many times with no luck. It has never went to it manually

Try using Titanium Backup to back up important data you might have on your phone. If you're having market problems, connect your phone to your computer and manually backup files. Then, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 to get Odin3 One-Click and the necessary drivers, and then use it to flash back to stock JF6 (2.1). Then, once you're back in stock JF6, enable USB Debugging in your phone settings, change USB Connection type to Mass Storage, and with Odin3 open, plug in your phone and mount the internal SD card, then click on Master Clear in Odin3, which will wipe all your user data. Then, if you decide to install ClockworkMod Recovery, use it to format cache, user data, and Dalvik cache. Hopefully, this will solve all of your problems

OK...there is nothing much on my phone. All the goods are on the SD card that I can easilly put back on the computer.
I will try what you say. I really want to get everything working before I start having fun with themes and other things to make my phone unique
Thanks. Ill report back later tonight!

My phone works, and for the first time ever I was able to go into the boot screen! lol.
I did the flash, and then master reset.
So what now, should I root it again? Or wait, or fiddle with themes? Or just run stock to see if I have issues?
Will this correct my video output to?

Well I went to the dark side. I felt overconfident in flashing my phone so I decided to learn how to install another ROM. Now I am running cognition 4.3.
I like the new look. The speed is crazy compared to stock 2.1 eclair.
I want to officially thank you for the help that you given me. Its hard to understand sometimes on this forum. But with the assistance of the tutorials on this site, and YOUTUBE everything works out ok. I wish you guys lived closer, id hook you up with some beer lol.
Now I got to figure out why ADB doesnt work on my computer =).
Ill check my video output tomorrow as well.

No problem, I'm just glad your phone works again
And btw, no need for beer because I'm only 16 lol
