G-mail Sync B0rked

Hi All,
I'm running CyanogenMod 4.11.1.1 (but have been having this problem since 4.0.4). My G-mail sync is semi-b0rked. It never updates anymore, even if I manually select the "refresh" option it doesn't update. The only thing that works is, if I go in to Gmail's settings, select "labels" and modify the # of days to sync for, it will magically update. So, I've been manually toggling it between 3 and 4 days of sync time just to get it to update whenever I'm expecting a new e-mail, but it's quite annoying that it stopped working on its own.
My guess is that some library or system file related to gmail got nuked during the cyanogen upgrade, but I've upgraded to several other versions (and even tried restoring a nanroid backup) but gmail still isn't syncing.
Yes, I've double-checked all the settings and everything's set to sync properly (I'd never disabled it in the first place, either).
Any hints on what I can do (I've tried wiping) to get this to work again would be greatly appreciated.

Go in to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps, find GMail and GMail storage and tap the clear data and clear cache buttons for both. Reboot.

Cheers mate, that did it!

I'm actually having the same exact issue. Manual syncing works fine but the phone refuses to sync automatically. The only piece of advice I've found is clearing the cache for Gmail and Gmail Storage. I've done this and it has no effect. I'm running Cyanogen 4.04 stable. It's driving me nuts and makes this phone pretty much useless for me since I rely on it to receive dispatch e-mails. Any other thoughts? I'm ready to just say f it and go back to a stock ROM.

Are you clearing both data and cache? That has always fixed this issue for me - and I've had it on even stock ROMs.

Did you clear both the data and the cache or just the cache?

go to your settings>sd card> at the bottom hit the reset button..it says it deletes your info but it hasnt not once .. it just clears everything.. try it

Yer mine comes and goes, tried a few Hero's, stock cupcake/donut ROM, cyanogen 4.0.4 thru to 4.1.11.1
Works for a few hours, stop working. Found gTalk works fine, but the Market will only work if gmail is syncing properly. usually will work every 2 days or so, for 4~20 hours... really really strange.

Gmail app not Pushing email anymore

This just started happening on Friday, I've already missed crucial emails. This is the latest version of Gmail. Data & Synchronization settings are set to push. Nothing has changed on my phone. Any ideas??

Have you tried removing then adding back your account?

I have, I even removed Gmail's latest update under App settings but that made it not work at all. After reapplying the update gmail only works by manually refreshing. Or by going to Settings/Accounts/Sync All. I can always to a fresh install. Just baffled at how this happened out of the blue for both my gmail accounts. Running stock 2.2

try Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, find the Gmail app and clear Data. It worked for me.

If that doesn't work, you may have to do a factory reset. If THAT doesn't work, call vzw and get them to send you a new phone.

Ended up wiping it. Thanks for possible solutions. Wiping fixed it. Whatever it was, cost me a few hours of reinstall and reconfiguring. love it.

Exchange services

For some reason i'm having Exchange Services Force Close, im on 3.2 Honey Villain 3.4 with Civato Mix3

I have the exact same problem on my Iconia. The exchange services fc on boot and as soon as I try opening the mail program. I had this problem while running Thors and now with ICS.
I have looked around and found this problem being solved by clearing the cache on email, exchange services and any other apps that has to do with email or exchange. This didn't work for me but you might give it a go and see if it does you any good.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

email and exchange

after the 3.2 update, my email and exhange apk's are corrupt, cannot set up mail with Keiten mail server anylonger and get a FC on the stock email app every startup. I have tried to load a couple of different email/exchange apk files and none run with the new 3.2
Can someone strip these two apk files and post them for me? would like to get this back up and running as soon as I can.
Thanks,

Update:
Reflashed the 3.2 update, fixed the corrupt files, but still, the tab will not open/download email attachments. Get error message that "cannot save. Not enough memory."
I have more than 250 mb of ram available and more than 12GB of drive space, so memory is not the issue. I downloaded and setup Touchdown HD for my exchange mail and it works just fine, but cannot get my personal mail from POP3 server to open attachments. I have recreated both accounts multiple times, cleaned the cache and Dalvik cache, and have tried by replacing email.apk and exchnage.apk from 3.1 and they did not work at all.
All this worked just fine under 3.1, but with the 3.2 update, my email, which is the main reason I got this tab, is useless for attachments.
Anyone out there with any more ideas?

Tried to clean the App Data ?

Yes, that is how I reset the mail files and rebuilt them. Seems there is something in the email/exchange apk that is not "reading" the memory correctly. Need a developer to look at the new 3.2 mail apk and see what it is calling for in regard to memory management.
I keep looking and trying various things, but nothing works.

Just wiped the pad clean, cache, formatted the sdcard, and cleaned dalvik cache, flashed Bindroid 3.3 for Galaxy Tab wifi. Still cannot open/download/save attachements with stock email apk.
Can someone else try their setup and confirm if email attachments and HTML mail works on thier setup? I am at a loss as to what to try next.

Mine work ok. i'm on stock 3.2 p7500.

email with 8.9
I have an ATT 8.9 Tab with 3.2 installed on it. The issue I am having with exchange in syncing has to do with not getting all the emails in my folder. My phone (Vivid) syncs just fine the Tab does not get all the emails and when I delete an email on my laptop or phone it stays on the phone sometimes and sometimes it gets deleted.
Anyone else having issues with exchange and 3.2 or tab 8.9?

I am missing files from my exchange account as well. Some are replicated, some are not. And I can see the attachments, no option to open them and the out of memory error message when I try to click open them.
I am on US P7510 UEKMM, 3.2 32GB pad.

You could try a full reflash. I am using the overcome Rom with standard TW email package and it syncs beatifully with my exchange server. No issues whatsoever.

Will have to try that, I have deleted all email accounts and installed them again, at first all work fine then in a day or two the same issues. My ATT LTE is not rooted and yours is, your custom ROM could make the difference.

just try another mail app

The problem with that is I like the TW mail. I did. Try to install the stock google apk and it would not install. And I did check the box to install from other locations. I have not found another mail app that is any good.

Enhanced Email from the market is the only one I can find that works. Tried them all to no avail. I am rooted and running a custom rom. There is something wrong with 3.2 and the stock email app, seeing comments from other 3.2 tabs of problems as well.
for the moment, I am using Enhanced Email, but the user interface is poor, and I like the UI for the stock app best of all I have tried. Too bad it does not work, even with a full reflash of custom rom.
now, I cannot connect any longer to KIES, after past couple of days, not able to connect with it anylonger, although Win7 64 sees it as a mobile device, I can move files, but not sync my contacts and calendar, even with WIFI.
This whole 3.2 thing is getting out of hand.

I was able to solve my issues by going to manage apps and clearing data for email this erased all my accounts (I have 5) re-installed all email accounts. This fixed it, now my email accounts all work the right way. It has worked now for 2 days without issue.

com.google.process.gapps force closing in 3.2 KMN

Anyone else besides me getting this? I had no idea what was causing it at first, but it seems that within 5-10 minutes of using the Tab regularly, the force close prompt would come up. I'd hit close, however, none of the apps I was currently in at the time would close. Every 2-3 minutes, like clockwork, the prompt would show up again. Got very annoying.
From the suggestion of another member, I took down my G-Mail widget and rebooted. Used the Tab like normal, still force closing. I then realized it COULD be the stock browser. I downloaded Dolphin for Tab Beta and used that...no force closes (yet). I have a suspicion that it could be the browser.
Is this happening with anyone else? I'm on stock KMM with the KMN CSC, odexed, with root and CWM. No other OS changes/alterations have been made. I even wiped the device completely, including my storage partition, re-downloaded and re-flashed, and it was still occurring with stock browser use.

Uncheck sync bookmarks with Chrome. Used to have the same issue and it drove me nuts.

I had this issue with syncing bookmarks. Fixed it by going to the Google Dashboard (sorry don't have the URL) and clearing the data section under Chrome. No issues since then.

Well this is getting out of hand for me. I started noticing this after the 3.2 update, but now it's getting crazy. I wasn't able to uncheck the sync in the Android browser options, I had to clear the data and then simply not sync it, but I think its still trying to sync. I did go to the dashboard and clear the data there as well per the suggestion in this thread. I am un-rooted running stock 3.2 update. I can see in the error report that it crashing on trying to sync bookmarks. What a pain!

Try creating a new gmail account (you don't actually have to use it for anything) and sync the bookmarks to that instead.

Sounds like a good idea to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks!

You have to go to accounts and sync, your Google account, and uncheck bookmarks from there. That's what stops the bookmark sync. You can't uncheck in browser and clearing data from the browser is unrelated.
