So My boss has a droidx running 2.2.1 which I assume is froyo. I checked out his phone and there is an OTA for it he is doing it tonight when he goes home. My first question is this update is it the new gingerbread update that I got for my TMO LG G2x? I got 2.3.3. His service is VZW which I think this phone is exclusive to but I'm not too sure about that. Is that what it is? The next question is is it a good Idea to do the update? I ask because I know alot of peole had problems with the g2x update I did not though.
The next thing I want to ask is he changed his gmail because he changed jobs and wanted a new a account but his phone wont let him delete the first one without doing a factory reset. So he wants it gone is there another way or no? And the other thing is his new email has a problem syncing soetimes he gets the emails right away sometimes it takes 6 hours to get to the phone. I think it is just to the phone not the server but I would have to double check on that. So would updating the phone fix that or is there something else to do. Is this a common problem with this phone?
Any help you guys can give would be great I use this four all the time for my phone and I love it.
Thanks Charlie
best bet is dont take it. heard ppl have lots of probs. factory reset is a must for a new gmail account. unless he wants to keep both...

Hello, I have just bought a samgung epic 4g because I need a very quick way to stay connected to work, especially email. Today is my first day getting to know the phone when all of a sudden it would shut off completely. It has done it while charging on a laptop. Why is it doing this? I would also like some direction on how I would be able to sync my work email to the phone? We use outlook at work and I have not been succesfull at syncing. I also have an email account that I wish to delete and am unable to. Thank you very much for your help. The answers might be very simple but I do come from using a sanyo mirro.
This is awesome!
Its not supposed to restart. That happened to me on the Hero about once a day and it annoyed the hell out of me. Hasn't happened yet on the Epic. I would try a factory reset and try it again. If it continues afterwards, then I would take it back and exchange it.
As far as e-mail, The Missing Sync by MarkSpace is one way to get Outlook to sync. Its actually desktop software. Otherwise, you should be able to use the stock e-mail app to sync your e-mail, you just have to use the manual settings. You need to know the incoming and outgoing server.
thank you very much
I figured most of out, still getting a new one because o
it keeps shutting off and the earpiece speaker is blown. Great customer service at my local sprint store.getting used to swype.

Ive updated my voicemail to the new update around 3 wks ago or so. Last night I started getting voicemails that were a couple days old that I didn't even know about. So I sent myself some voicemails and didn't get them. I then uninstalled the new voicemail update and when it uninstaleed I got some more old voicemails pop up. After that I got the popup that said a mandatory update is available. I it ok to reinstall the update and then it says no updates available. I have the notification telling me bout the update but every time I try to update it says no update available. I've tried everything. I just completed a hard reset that sprint tech. Told me to do and nothing. The sprint tech said he never heard if it and wants me to take it to a repair center to see if they can push it. I don't mind doing that but I live 45 mins from a repair center and if for some reason I have to do another wipe I'll be in the same position. Anybody know what to do or heard of this? Everything else updates just fine. Thank you
Having the same problem...I wouldn't bet it is a hardware problem.

Hello,
Since yesterday, HD2 back becomes very hot for no reason (no new apps installed for many months) and battery is drained within 4-5 hours (from 100%).
Same when I restart the phone. However, it randomly fixes itself for no reason too.
I also can't wake up the phone just by pressing HANG UP key, I have to HOLD IT for 5 seconds for screen to highlight.
Any ideas?
Official 3.14 ROM
Are you using a googlemail account, if so delete it and reboot the phone. remove battery for 10 secs.
Wow, you are a hero. Yes, I do.
Is this a known bug? Any fixes?
Do I just re-add account then?
Excellent, worked for me to.
Had the same problem with my HD, deleted the Gmail account now, and I'll se if it helps ... the only thing that maybe is wrong (people ask why Gmail not something else) is maybe related to Gmail's new priority inbox thing, maybe it makes extra stress on the phone to process the mail ... I know a lot of people already had this feature, but in my case, my Gmail Inbox got the priority thing just before the HD2 started acting up, so that's why I'm assuming it's somehow related to all of this ... then again, maybe just a coincidence that doesn't have anything to do with it ... I think it's too early for speculations ...
Btw, my first post here

Welcome and a helpfull first post
Don't get the idea that I don't have anything better to do and just type here, but here's and update ... The phone is cooling down, the battery life holds normally, and you can turn on the phone from standby by pressing any button, like you used to before (some people reported that you could only turn it back from standby by long pressing the power button, myself included)
I also had this problem and someone on the Tmobile forum said XDA suggested to delete the Gmail accounts. This was my response on the other forum:
"Deleted all Gmail email accounts I had on my phone. I can verify that this corrected the problem and my HD2 is now working normally.
This is definitely not a good permanent solution because I use multiple gmail accounts. I also noted that when I did have my Gmail accounts on my phone, it would hang when trying to communicate with google servers. If you went to inbox, and looked at the status message at the bottom of the screen. It would hang at like "Connecting" or "Disconnecting"."
Also of note; this problem just started happening in the last few days and I've had my HD2 with multiple gmail accounts setup since release.
First-time poster...
We've done the same thing (deleted our Gmail accounts). After the battery recharges - it went completely dead after only 6 hours off the charger - we'll see if/how it works
Mike
Thanks for posting the gmail issue and fix. I had been having the same issue since Thursday night, and was almost ready to call T-Mobile to try to get a replacement, but saw the post here just by chance. So far it is working the way it was before, so it's much better. I even tried a hard reset(after a backup, of course), but had gone through and setup all of my stuff again right away, so I was still having the issue.
T-Mobile is now listing this as a known issue - last night when I called, they weren't so you can imagine the number of calls they've received already. My advice: if you are a T-Mobile customer and haven't reported this issue, please do. The more they see it is affecting, maybe the quicker they'll get a resolution for it.
Mike
I've had the exact same issue with my HD2 since Thursday evening. I just found this thread about Gmail and have deleted my Gmail account from the phone's e-mail app. Crossing my fingers to see if that fixes it.
I have a trouble ticket open with HTC regarding the issue and have made them aware of the possible Gmail interaction problem. The tech helping me said he will explore it and also that "GMail did recently perform a server side security change". Hopefully HTC and Google get their heads together and figure out what is going on.

Amen to that! Permanently leaving Gmail off my phone is not an acceptable option!

euro hd2
Also same situation with euro version HD2.
Someone on the HD2 Facebook page is reporting that if you go into Task Manager, the email client is using 80%-90% of the CPU. No wonder it's getting warm...
Great. And I was prepared to do an HR in the morning because of this. Hope there will be an permanent solution for this soon.
Just to touch base... since deleting the Gmail account and recharging the phone, it has worked flawlessly. A little too late to test the battery life (I won't be up near that late) but I'll let y'all know tomorrow.
I am a super noob when it comes to this my brother is having this problem how do you delete gmail from the HD2 sorry but I'm an android guy trying to help a windows
After removing my Gmail account from the phone it seems to be back to normal. Hopefully they find a fix soon.
Rob
Is this only an IMAP issue as I have 3 gmail accounts (POP3) on my T-Mob HD2 & they are all working fine without bugging the HD2.
First of all apologies if this has been covered before.
My son in law got himself a new Atrix yesterday and so far he is very happy with it. Exept any txt messages he gets keep coming again and again about every 1/2 hour this has been going on all day and I am the one he is blaming as I was the one who recommended the Atrix to him.
If anybody has had this problem or anyone knows the answer I will be much obliged as the way things are going I will not get any sleep tonight.
Sounds like someone is using SMS Bomber to send him repeat text messages. Download Anti SMS Bomber from the market, and make sure it runs all the time, that should do the trick.

Is it the same exact text message over and over? I had this happen to me last night, except it was the same exact text coming from my girlfriend.
I turned off my phone for the night and the next morning I received about 30 text messages (all from her) saying the exact same thing. I solved it just a little bit ago with an SBF flash.

This happens to me anytime my phone is off or in airplane mode and someone texts me more than once. The first one sent comes over and over again.
You don't have to SBF flash.
With the phone on, pull the battery (and I reseat the sim, but that's probably just silly) and pop it back in. I usually get the message one more time and then any that were queued up behind it.
I use GoSMS but I also got it with Handcent... Stock doesn't seem to do it.
Oh. I had mine with the SMS app (from GBlur). I think I had a total of ~170 messages from her saying the same thing. I did all of that and even tried separate SMS clients but nothing worked except an SBF flash
Thanks to one and all for your advice.
We sorted it in the end by phoning Orange and they advised the pull battery while the phone was still on. After re-boot they pushed all the queued up messages. Up till now things are looking OK but S-i-L is a bit reluctent to try messages.
I think he is either going to try the Anti SMS Bomber or SBF flash, it's up to him I got into enough trouble for recommending the Atrix. He is now trying to do a swap for my SE Xperia Arc. (Thinking about it).
That does fix it... it is of course subject to happening again if he gets a message while the phone is off. Fairly easy fix though, i've never had to have them push my messages. My wife sends me enough that she pushes them for me
Totally trade him!
Yes, it still happening with me. Try to disable Cell Broadcast on Wifi & others configuration menu...
Mine doesnt have this menu, but i edited it on settings.db and still spamming the sms.
@Edit
Look at HERE
Ive had the Atrix since launch never had this problem, my buddy who i recommended the Atrix started getting 20+ same text two days ago. Then yesterday I had the same problem for the first time. We both called Att, they were useless. The problem resolved itself for both of us last night. A bunch pushed through all at once. No sbf no battery pull, but if it happens again I def will pull battery. No duplicates in 24 hours, glad thats over. My phone was definately not turned off or in airplaine mode when it started.
This all points at a network level problem. Why would the phone redeliver its own texts?
We had this with another phone here at work a while back when someone was abroad and it was a network level issue that caused it.

We were able to disable Cell Broadcast through Wifi settings don't know if it will help but don't think it will do any harm either.

I agree, I'm assuming it's happening when sending to you fails somehow, out of range or no signal or whatever (airplane mode, shutting down system) and the request gets stuck.
Sad that AT&T can't get that fixed though.
Okay so no duplicate text since I posted yesterday, or, two days ago.? Just sent my buddy (^who also had the prob^) a text asking it he had gotten anymore duplicates. I received three back that said "no". I sent one saying, "are you joking?". He called and asked if I was f***ing with him, hes getting duplicates of my messages also. So the issue went away for 48 hours and came back when I mentioned it!! *facepalm
Pulling the battery doesn't help! The issue resolved itself before w/o a factory reset so I am hesitant to do one. I agree with the thinking that it is a network issue. What would you do XDA friends?
EDIT: Im on 4.1.83 GladRoot GingerBlur. He is on 4.1.83 GladRoot NO GBlur. Im using Handcent and I think he is too.
I Still with duplicated messages... thats making me replace atrix for anything else... just atrix have this insue.
I'm happy to say that since I last posted on this thread there have been no more mass duplication messages
I am extra happy about that as I did the swap and am loving My Atrix.

Yes i was, but I uninstalled it recently. I am no longer getting duplicate texts. my friend IS still having the prob. Att has sent him another Atrix, we are going to copy his apps to the new phone soon and see if they stop.
Is there an issue with RCB on the Atrix?
Interestingly im running that too. I haven't seen the issue in a week or so but next time I will try disabling it too. I know everytime it gains root access it FC's the Voice Commands app.

*siggghhhhh* Where to begin.
I've had my Samsung phone over 6 months now, and I believe it was shipped with 2.2.1 JPU firmware.
I've since moved to more recent firmwares and back again, trying to fix this issue. Now there is a possibility it worked when I first got the phone, but it's way too late to answer that - because at the time I didn't use email.
Basically I can use the inbuilt mail client, or Touchdown mail client, and the same issue occurs. I first noticed it when trying to sync a mailbox on Kerio mailserver, which is totally ActiveSync compatible. I've had the tech guys at Kerio working on this for months, looking at all logs etc and they can't pinpoint it. Same issue happens across two mail clients, two phones (mine and my flatmates). Sent items randomly sync. Either nothing, or random mails.
This also happens with the sent items on my work Exchange account too, again across both mail clients.
Kerio has tested my problem account with a Galaxy S their end, and cannot replicate the same problem.
The only common factor here, and believe me I've spend ages on this, is that I've changed the firmware from the shipped one. Is there some other settings somewhere on the phone that might affect this? Every time I've flashed the firmware, I've used Odin, followed the instructions etc. Is there something else I can do/try to maybe get this working? Am I alone? I've tried about 10 different firmwares trying to fix it and I'm about to give up and get another phone.
Help? Anyone? Please :-(
In the hope this helps someone else out there. This was down to constant rom updating, and never clearing the dalvik cache.
