For some reason I can't receive or send pics through my text messages anymore on my EVO Shift. It used to do it just fine but for the past month or so it wont do it. I went to Sprint and the CSR tried to update a few things and even tried to send a pic to me from her phone and it wouldn't do it. She said I need to take it to a repair store... but my phone isn't broken!! I have never dropped it, never scratched it and have never had it near water.
I run Lookout (free), JuiceDefender (free), Launcher Pro (free), FW (free) clock widget, Apps2SD, Some icons I downloaded from this site, and that's pretty much it. Everything else with this phone is working flawlessly and I have no problem getting pics through my mail on the phone. The Micro SD card was upgraded a while back from 2gig to an 8gig. Any experts out there that might know what's going on? Do I need to remove some apps?
I don't know why juice defender?? The Shift has a great battery as it is.
No need for such apps.
I got the feeling that it is juice defender what is causing your troubles since usually those apps shut down your data services to save battery.
Try resetting everything to default on juice defender and get rid of it.
I have only had Juicedefender for like 3 days, the issue has been ongoing for a month or more sadly

What about a data reset??
I had the same problem bro. A factory reset fixed the issue.
I think I will do the reset tonight... I need to back up all of my phone numbers though and sprint said this phone wont do it. This was an odd statement to me because when I upgraded from my Samsung Instinct S30, all of my contacts were in this new phone and all they did was activate it... no sync or hooking it up to anything.
Ugh... Well the Data Reset worked... I can now send pics through MMS. However I have lost all of my contacts. Oh well... time to start fresh lol.
UPDATE!!
Accounts and Sync... Sync your google account and BAM!! All contacts are back!
That's why I always export my contacts to my SD card. Keep that in mind

Same issue here. Has been ongoing for some time. I've heard turning off WiFi while sending pictures works and it seems to be hit and miss.
This happened on both CM as well currently on MikShift. Also with GoSMS and default messaging app

I don't see why.. contacts are saved on Gmail so just sync your Gmail acct and they should be there again..

At the time I was unaware that Gmail and my phone was linked like that... I am glad though, now I won't hesitate to do a factory reset if something messes up again. Also, I talked my girlfriend into an HTC phone... she got the EVO 4G in white. She loves it.

So I successfully rooted my phone, removed abunch of bloatware, like verizonbackup, friendstream, tweeter, flickr, and a few others. but now my gmail wont sync automatically, i have to manually refresh my inbox, it doesnt seem to be "pushing" new messages to me and its getting very annoying. Is anyone else having this problem?
I think we will start seeing more and more of these issues as people root the phone and/or remove apps that they think are "bloatware".
Did you try removing and re-adding your gmail account?
I just completed rooting my phone this morning, but only removed City ID. My gmail is working normally, including giving me new mail notifications as soon as emails come in. Maybe you deleted something you shouldn't have deleted.
As an aside, why did people hate City ID so much? I deleted it because everyone else was, and because I wasn't using it, but not really sure what it does.

If you removed the verizon backup assistant you have to do a factory reset, meaning wipe all your data, this could be your issue. I seen somewhere else saying you have to do a factory reset once you remove that.

It nags every 15 days and wants $2.99 a month fee. It is useless since all it does it tell you what the city and state is associated with the caller's area code and exchange. Most everyone knows the local area code and exchanges. if it was a one time $2.99 maybe, but $2.99 a month they are crazy.

I agree. That would be irritating as hell. I have only had my phone for 3 or 4 days, so I hadn't seen any nag screens yet. Now hopefully I won't!

Oh, you will I think the cost is outrageous too, especially since all the program is doing is checking the XXX-YYY-0000 against a data base, where X is state and Y is town.
As for the OP, just go into Applications menu and clear your Gmail and Gmail Storage cache. We used to have a similar problem way back in the dark ages of 2008 G1, when rooted owners would immediately uninstall the Fave 5 application Tmo so kindly put on there, which would immediately erase all Cloud contacts AND break sync
I performed a factory reset after removing everything I didnt want, but I think I read in another post that it might have something to do with friendstream.apk, does anyone happen to have this and can host it somewhere? I'll try removing and readding the email account.

Same here.....looking for the friendstream.apk. On a side note, don't install the friendstream.apk for the evo, as it put me in a nasty reboot loop.
I too am having this issue, but it is only happening to one of my two gmail accounts, one pushes fine but the secondary account I have to manually refresh to get my email. I haven't removed any bloatware from my phone.
Count me in... Neither HTC Mail nor gmail are auto syncing on their own. If I turn OFF then back ON the auto sync (via the power widget) they sync, but any futher emails are not working.
This is on the leaked 2.2 for me
Accounts are set up right. Sync is on. The phone will pick up new emails on a restart, but after that, it won't give any new email notifications. Also, if I open gmail and hit refresh, it won't show new emails that I KNOW are sitting in my inbox. Only time it gets new emails is right after a reboot. Not a clue what the problem could be. Any ideas?
I am having the same issue, especially when it comes to archiving emails using the Gmail app. I hit archive, come back to my computer an hour later, and everything is still sitting in Inbox as unread.
Yea, I am still having this issue. No emails will sync. I am fearful that I am just going to have to wait for 2.2 and a custom ROM to get a clean install and a properly working device.
I was at my local verizon store yesterday with a text issue. They said it was a known issue and being fixed on the next update. They said the text and a email sync issue both were to be fixed. They did not know what update though. IE: 2.2 or the smaller updates. Hope this helps.

I have had the exact issues usually after restoring a nandroid. I have posted this in another thread. Works for me every time.
Turn sync off.
menu/settings/Applications/Manage applications/gmail storage/force stop then hit clear data.
And do the same for gmail/force stop and clear data.
reboot. And turn sync back on.
good day.
I was having this issue and I did a *228 and reprogramed my roaming and it has been great since.

I use the gmail app, but it seems to be very slow sending email. Also, the stock email app truncates ALL my email with no way to get the end half. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm rooted, using jt1134 super clean, stock kernel.

No, but just put your account back in sync, everything will come back
That's the thing I tried to add my google account again but there want even a option. I ended up having to recover to a really old backup because even the most recent back ups wasn't working

Anyone else notice in the past couple of days.. that the stock gmail app isn't marking read emails as read? So, for example.. when I get a new email and check it on my phone, the gosh darn email that I just opened and read remains unread. Then when another email comes, my phone shows that I have two unread emails. Then, the only way to mark them as read is to actually read them on my computer.
Anyone else?
This happened to my wife before. Go into Settings -> Applications -> Gmail and wipe the data and cache for it. You will have to re-signin then everything should re-sync and start working again.

Im having the same issue as the OP
im running ice glacier 1.1.6 and for the life of me can not get gmail to update the emails on the account...ive tried wiping the data/cache ive tried to update the gmail app and as it stands right now nothing is working...its very frustrating
1.Send email from acct A to acct B
2.Check acct B on phone and read the message and then log out
3.Check acct B on the computer and message that was read on the phone is still "new" on the computer
the above goes for deleting and archiving mails as well
are there any other solutions to this issue...ive been searching the net for an hour and everyone just says delete cache and thats just not working for me
You could always try to wipe cache and dalvik-cache from recovery. Failing that, if you are truly determined to clear things, do a full system wipe (after making a settings backup via Titanium, so you can restore the non-broken parts easily).

Well I also run IG and it works 100% for me. Everyone's silicon is different, though. Are the gapps provided for Cyanogen/Gingerbread compatible with Froyo builds? You might try ripping the mail from that and doing a hard uninstall/reinstall of mail only either by hand or via Titanium.

either way...i switched back to cm7 for the time being as i was having a couple other minor issues with IG...may go back at a later time...just cant find a rom that i really dig
i appreciate you trying to help me out...ill send ya a thanks

ok i may be beating a dead horse here...but i have a question for ya Kline...just cuz its picking at my brain lol
if u receive an email and you check it on your phone and either delete it or just have it marked as read and you immediately check the same account on your computer...the email is deleted or marked read?
im asking cause i think its based on the sync time between the phones gmails acct and the computers gmail acct

My phone and PC seem to lag about 30-60s between each other, but both still stay in sync (lucky me, haha). Maybe it helps I am on WiFi whenever I am at home? Probably a quicker connection to sync via than the cell network.
Ok so a few hours ago, my phone is working perfectly fine. Then all I did was change to LauncherPro to check it out, clicked the contacts app and it somehow sent me to the dialer, I then checked the contacts tab in the dialer and there were NO contacts. So, I went back to my usual ADW and my contacts are gone there too!!
Yes, I made sure it was "all contacts" and I treid resetting my phone several times but with no results. Another interesting thing I noticed, my MotoBlur account is GONE from my accounts. So, when I take my sim card out and turn my phone back on, the phone does not ask for me to put in my motoblur account (good thing?).
Could the lack of a motoblur account somehow deleted my contacts (I have no idea how I got rid of the motoblur account). I have made no backups of my contacts (sadly) so my only option that I know of is to manually add them back, but hopefully maybe someone can shed some light on this situation. TIA
Edit: losing contacts not a huge problem, can manually put them back, but still want to know how i got rid of motoblur account.
Thats very odd indeed, your blur account got deleted... have your tried simply adding it back I think this would also bring back your contacts and when you said you went back to standard launcher did you uninstall it? I installed launcherpro once but that never happened to me.

I tried adding it through "add account" but all it showed was accounts for facebook, myspace, last.fm etc. no motoblur adding
Also, i logged into my motoblur account through motoblur website, and it still has my phone information

Also does anyone know where blur account info is house? Im in root explorer trying to find it with no luck, the only think I can imagine is (which I dont know how it would have happened) that one of your launchers did something to the root of where that information is house deleting the blur account but again I've never heard of this happening before
Edit: well this situation now makes two of us lmao while trying to solve your problem I seem to have replicated it. So now I just need to find out how to log back into blur... hey if anyone can it it would be greatly appreciated. So brief summery, I seem to have reset blur on my phone so that I am no longer logged into it I still have all my other emails and FB synced up but blur has disappeared and I cant find a way back in.

nope no contacts lol, no anything and the way I did it was using root explorer I went into system/framework/ and in there is a file called blur-res.apk I ran it to see what it would do and it wiped my blur lol I also noticed that my social networking app or whatever it maybe called is no longer functioning when I try to use it it states that i need to create an account but when I try it doesnt go anywhere. does your social networking app still work?
