Hi folks,
Hopefully will have my nexus 7 soon - am i right in assuming i can activate it using the same gmail address i have on my phone? If so.. i dont really want my emails coming to the 7 as the tablet is probably going to be for family use.. can you just delete the gmail or or remove the email account or something? I suppose I could always just set up a new gmail address and use that.
Thanks,
Michael
Just set it up not to refresh automatically. Easy-peasy
You can tell it not to sync gmail under "accounts and sync" in settings.

Sync, that's what I meant... why did I say refresh?!? But yeah, just turn off the sync and you are set.
Try freezeing or disabling the gmail app from the apps list or root it and uninstall gmail app

Hey guys, I recently synced google calendar with my phone, which is great however now all my gmail email is coming through using the gmail app and not the stock email app which I prefer using.
Any ideas on how to change this?
i.e - would like to desable the gmail app and only use the x10 email client.
Hi you can go into the gmail app and set sync to never.
If you want it in the default mail app go into that and add the account in there.

Thanks for the reply.
In the gmail app I cant find a sync option.
My gmail account was already on the default email app previously and it is still is, its just that now mail automatically notifies using the gmail app instead of the default app.
Hi.. Sorry.. My mistake. You can switch the notifications off in the gmail app. The sync is driven from the data synchronisation menu, which you will still need, I think.

right you are sir...thanks for that..
Had my Iconia for 2 weeks now, and finding new uses for it all the time.
It is a wifi only version, and I have a job that has me outdoors, and away from wifi for most of the day.
I want to cache all of my gmail messages (including attachments) so that I can view and use them offline.
Is there a setting for this, or is there an app?
Running Honeycomb.
Thanks.
I look for this also.
- another solution is
tether your phone with your tablet, and you will access online via phone... backup plan but still usefull sometimes.
You just need to setup gmail in the regular email app. Go to settings, accounts and sync, add account. Use the exchange (corporate) account type. User name is your full gmail email address. Server is m.google.com
It works.

Wow. Thanks for the tip. This is my first time hearing about this.
Should I setup my main account as Google, Exchange, or both?

^Not sure. GMAIL gets setup in the native app due to setting up your google account (for market, etc.). Not sure if you can remove it from the GMAIL app. Only drawback is double notifications for emails coming in to your gmail address. I suppose you could turn off notifications for the gmail app if it bothers you.

Do you need _all_ of them? Or just a subset? If you apply an "offline" label in gmail, then you can go into the gmail app and under label options, tell it to sync all of the "offline" label, rather than the default (4 days).
If you do actually need all of them, then I guess you could just apply the "offline" label to everything...
Thanks for all the help.
Still having some problems. When I set up the new account to sync in the regulat email app, it wants to set it up as imap, not as an exchange account type. Maybe I am doing this incorrectly?
I only need to sync one folder, and I figured out how to get the GMail program to sync all those messages, but each one has an attachment which is what I really need, and the attachments do not sync.
Getting close, but not quite what I need yet.
That's odd. The attachments sync fine for me for synced messages in the gmail app?

That's correct, you should add a "Corporate" account via Settings.
It seems now that the GMail app set to sync all mail (not just 4 days) is syncing the attachments for offline use. I am happy!! Thanks for the help everyone.
For some reason the Gmail and Xoom email apps will not sync with all my Gmail contacts. Some contacts don't show. All are available through the Gmail website interface.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure you haven't got a filter active in the contacts app on your Xoom? By filter, I mean "View only contacts with email", "View only contacts with a phone number" etc.

clear out your data for your g-apps then turn sync off and on.
somethings on your web calendar won't synce like hockey schedules that wereadded anything you manually added will
Thanks! I'm lucky I spotted this thread! My gmail stopped auto syncing yesterday too, have Google maybe changed something? Anyway, I deleted my gmail data and everything works now.
When an email come in, Gmail won't notify me. I checked that gmail notification was on. i don't know whats the problem. Can anybody help?

I also Know nothing about this
Most likely another app interfering. Do you have any SMS notification apps or anything else that affects notification services for something installed?
I don't think so. I think facebook and ads but that about it.
Are you sure gmail is running? Go into manage applications look for gmail and see if the force stop box is greyed out. If it is gmail isn't running
Have you got gmail checked for syncing under Accounts and Settings?
I know that ie ILWT has an option to install a version of Gmail app that should have something different about notifications,it may be your problem,try to search it...

You can have a try on clearing the cache of the gmail app (Settings -> Apps -> ...)

How do i find the gmail for ILWT?

I second this. Did you just turn notifications on in the gmail app? You need to go into android settings, accounts & sync, click on your email address, then make sure gmail is checked.

You may want to search on google for a modified gmail app with something about notification or just check synching as they said...

Hi
I have 2 google accounts on my device one is with [email protected] and the other [email protected] first i use for purchases back
ups etc...and the second is just private I keep IT junk free.so when ever I go to the gmail app to check for emails its shows the hotmail.com account too....but i cant sync emails or anything from it so every time I need to switch back to the gmail.com account..Is there any way that i can delete that hotmail.com account from the gmail app, but not from the whole device because i use it for apps and stuff and I purchased lots of app with it.
THX
Any suggestions??
Can't you just untick the box for sync for that account? Also might check which is the default address.
I did that already it always goes to the gmail app right away...I did a factory reset put my primary google account([email protected]) and when i go to the gmail app its there,and i cant delete it because its not setup and i cant set it up in gmail because its hotmail adress.if i delete it from the accounts in settings then its gone in the gmail app.But I need that account for my paid apps back ups and other stuff.very annoying...but that started to happen yesterday before that i just had my gmail adress in the gmail app.It didnt automatically put my hotmail adress to the gmail app.
Did you try to make the gmail account the primary and the hotmail as the 2nd Google account and unchecked all sync?

use the Email app for your hotmail account and GMail for your gmail account
When you open Gmail, does the heading next to the gmail icon say Inbox and show one of the accounts or does it say All mail? I think All mail only shows the first or primary gmail account. Try changing the drop-down; it's a filter.
Here are some screenshots...I just want that the hotmail.com account doesnt show up in the gmail app like it used to be before,,,,but now when ever I add my hotmail.com account it always shows up in gmail.I just want to delete it from there but not from my device because I need it for other stuff.
I have 4 gmail accounts, what I do is that I forward all the incoming mails to my primary, so I only have 1 gmail account on my phone but I receive from 3. I'm pretty sure there's an option to do this from your hotmail account. Google a bit!

Thx, I Know that I can forward my email from hotmail to gmail thats no problem....but that hotmail.com account is my primary account I purchased lots of app with it and other stuff so I need it on my device....but I want to delete it from the gmail app thats all.I dont know if that is possible...
Try this setup.... use your Gmail as primary and you add your hotmail as your 2nd gmail account. Also, setup your hotmail in the email (see image) app too. set up inbox check frequency in setting to never since you don't care about that email. You can always open the email to update.

PS: This started to happen when i tried to add my hotmail.com to my gmail account (Check mail from other accounts using POP3)
But I didnt like it so I just reset everything to default...did a factory reset on the device but after that the hotmail.com account always shows up in the gmail app
