Gmail Widget problem - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Got my Nexus 7 in Dublin Airport T2 Dixons yesterday with no queues, fuss or drama, no pre orders to worry about, just walked up and paid... love it so far however one little issue i have.
Adding the Gmail widget is fine. Inbox emails show all is good in the world. If I put it to sleep and then open after a few mins the emails in the widget do not show... just blank!!!!! any ideas. The gmail account is fine and all emails in here but the widget just seems faulty.
Thanks
Darren

I use that widget with no problems at all,are you using the stock launcher?

Just tried it on mine and when adding the widget, it prompts which label (or folder, e.g. Inbox, sent, etc.). I picked Inbox and like yourself nothing showed up although I have 3 read emails in my Inbox. So I flagged one as unread again and removed and re-added the widget and hey presto all 3 emails show. Now when I actually read the email the 3 emails still show, all greyed out as read. Looks like a little bug in the code to me ?

Same issue on new Nexus 7

I don't have this issue under 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note 2 but I can reproduce it under CyanogenMod 4.2.2 on a Galaxy Nexus and on my brand new 2nd Gen Nexus 7. When I add the widget it works fine. Go to sleep and it turns blank.

I've got the same issue in motorola RAZR M and samsung S4. The problem is that for some reason the gmail force closes in the background (i see a error) and then the widget goes blank. I use apex launcher and no task killer apart from swiping away the apps using default app switcher.

Cleaning things up a bit

I love android, but some things just don't make sense. Like google seperating the gmail app from the email app. So, I decided to get rid of the gmail app by removing it through ADB, and then adding the account to the email app. What that did for me, is allow me to recieve all my accounts in the same app. When I get notifications now it will read that I have mail in 1,2,or 3 accounts, and I can handle all my accounts on one page. The accounts in the email app have color bars on the side so you can tell what account it's from. It also gives you the option of viewing each account seperately or viewing them in a combined inbox. Managing all my accounts on one page works for me, maybe it will work for you. If you try it let me now how you like it. If you don't like it you could always push the gmail.apk back to your phone

i have been using the email app since i first got the phone, im not rooted to i still have the gmail app but its been used once. The notifications are off and it just sits stagnant in my launcher lol. I love the ability to have both of my email accounts on one screen!
I took the app out to have just a little more space

Serious GMAIL help.

Hey guys,
I hope i can get some user insight on this. I have found this to be very odd and confusing in my gmail for quite some time.
My gmail app in my nexus s shows that some unread mail is in the INBOX. eg:Inbox(2)
when i click in it, it doesnt show it. However when i go to labels, ALL MAIL the unread items are in there.
Why wouldnt they show the item in Inbox and i have to dig through labels to find it?
also ive noticed in wifi and sometimes in 3g/2g, sending mail gets hung up and never attempts to resend email, i inspected my outbox and show 5 emails i thought i sent out like a month ago! still showing 'sending...' in read, which is extremely dissapointing because they were important!
im slowly boiling over between these two situations and would GREATLY appreciate it if someone can help...somehow. I heavily rely on email and im so thrown off by this
Many thanks!
My best guess is that the unread emails are older emails. E.g., the GMail app only fetches the first 25 emails, but the unread emails are no. 57 and 63. So, you have so scroll down to load more messages to view these unread emails.
I really wish the GMail app had a setting to show only unread emails.
Is this just ur gmail app? Did u try clearing data via settings?

Had the same issue on my evo and thats what I had to do to fix it. Sometimes phone and gmail get out of sync.

You may have your gmail setup to only show your priority inbox instead of the regular inbox. I ran into that same problem before.

y my gmail icon at the dock dont notifi by vissual when i have new mail?

hello guys
from the very first day my phone doesnt give any visual (!) sign when i have a new mail on my gmail account.
on the sgs 1 , when i had a new mail the gmail ap the envelope pic - on the dock turn on red or (if i choose to..) had a exclamation mark - and the sign didnt disappear until the opening of the new mail.
on the sgs2 i have only sound notifi and no vissual.
i guess thats the reason y even on my widget locker (i have gmail as one of my custom slider...) i dont c any notification when i have new mail.
i have 2 fix this.
PLS

I think you have to turn on automatic synching on Settings -> Accounts and Sync

Are you using ADW notifier to display notification counters ? I am using Widget Locker together with ADW Notifier and the only counters i can see on the sliders are the ones for sms. Can't get it to show counters for calls and gmail. If anyone encountered this problem and found a fix or can tell me the exact setting they used i'd appreciate it. @ rastamit I also registered for samsung social hub, and both the samsung e-mail and social hub icons display the counters for gmail, but the gmail icon doesn't. Maybe that's your problem.
hi. i dont have ADW notifier. but i fixed the problem by d.l. "gmail notifier" app. i deleted my gmail app and replaced it with the gmail notifier app. tnx u all/
another solution is the "NoLed" app, works like a charm

notifications - phone + tab

Anyone know a way to have Gmail notifications removed from tablet once I remove them on phone, or vice versa? Same for Facebook too. I feel like all I do is clear notifications for the same things.
Thanks!
Than you are not using your Tab enough.
But I agree, I wish they could sync. Sometime I check my phone, some times I check my N7. :silly:
On my HTC Legend running Gingerbread, if you read an email message on the desktop, the unread notification would automatically disappear. I saw this happening a few times.
Try it!

I have no problems with the notification being dismissed if I read an email on any of my android devices or PC. Same goes for Google talk as well.

Thanks, all; I'll keep working with it. It worked fine for me too PC vs phone, but adding Nex7 seems to have complicated things.
I think I'm just going to turn off FB notifications on both. Don't really care about them anyway.

[Q] Email app notifications disappear 50% of the time?

I have my Email app setup and I'm not using the gmail app. I get emails and it vibrates and makes a sound, the notification will show in the notification bar for 1-2 seconds max then will disappear. This happens allot but not all of the time. I have notifications enabled for my 4 accounts, like I said it shows sometimes and not for specific accounts.

This is a continuation of a thread I saw in T-Mobile. I am having this issue as well and I wish there was a fix!
Guess no one else has this issue?
Alrighty, Stu,...
We played this game regarding the forced closed Email app,...I'm going to wait and see what you find out regarding the email notification disappearing instead of trying to figure it out myself and realize you already found out the cause AFTER I spent the time figuring it out on my own,...
Won't fool me twice, sir!!
Nimitch the ball is in your court. I have no idea why the damn notifications show then disappear. Please figure it out and let me know. I am stumped!
same here on dissapearing
Anyone have any idea in how to solve this? This is driving me crazy
Yeah I have this issue also. Though it was just me.

I have the issue also. I installed the email and exchange apk's from the 4.4 dump and everything seems to be working well. Maybe it is just an issue with the Samsung email app. I would revert back if it gets fixed as I liked the Samsung app.

I need the Samsung email app because I have a galaxy gear. The gear needs Samsung's email app to work

I dont know but this is absolutely driving me crazy.
Had the same problem with Samsung app, I think it was happening when you were getting mail on one account and new mail was coming to another. I switched to 4.4 and uninstalled the original samsung one. I love how every account in 4.4 has a separate notification area. I wish it had an option to disable multiple message stacking though.
