Email flicker - Galaxy S III General

Last time I had this problem I restored s3 to factory settings and it disappeared.
Since then I've updated from 4.1.1 to .2,stock unrooted and had nooooo problems until this morning.
When I open an email, as I scroll the screen flickers like the GPU is going nuts. It appears to be flickering into and out of negative mode. Not sure. Hurts the eyes and i don't know whether out not it hurts the phone. Can't find a fix, don't want to restore again.
Tried temporarily installing k9 but having trouble linking hot mail to it and don't wanna brush it under the rug I want to fix it.
Any ideas?
Need a video to diagnose?
Cheers,
D

Nothing? Temporarily using hotmail and gmail apps separately

I too have this problem. I stopped using Samsung stock email and started using aosp email. Currently am on ultima ROM. Its very good. Gives you a lot of options.

Glad I am not the only one, so fare I tried to disable incoming text notifications and then reboot. After reboot I enabled them again. changed nothing. Thing is I find the problem to be totally random. Dose it sometimes and its not for the same contacts.

I have had the same thing with the notifications, but along with it I am not getting notifications for half of my texts, I only notice I have some of them my manually looking into the messages app.
Tried rebooting, changing the notification settings etc and nothing works!

Have the same problem. Exactly every second SMS does not have any notification! Sometimes it vibrates, but there is no notification in the statusbar...so I have to open the SMS-App.
Now I will miss every important SMS and I have to check all 10-20min to be sure -.-
Hope there will be a fix!
Got the same bug. This is a major bug, and htc have to relese a bugfix asap! This bug makes the phone useless. Can't thrust the phone anymore...

I guess im really lucky. I updated and have had no problems whatsoever. Not even that 100% CPU bug. I couldnt be happier. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i followed hamdir's guide to install the update and keep root and s-off.

The sms-bug isn't there all the time. I've only got two txtmsg that didn't trigger the alert. And I got a lot of txtmsgs. But the two that didn't trigger the txtmsg receive notification was two important txtmsg, so I no longer can trust my phone.
I do not have the 100 cpu load issue. So it has nothing to do with that. My battery is just as good as I think a battery should be on a phone in this class. The only thing that really drains my battery is the Angry Bird Seasons. But I'm addicted, so I keep on playing

Same here, its completely random which messages it happens with and it is not the same people that trigger it too. So far I have seen no pattern to the messages with, for example it is not every fourth message etc, they happen at random intervals and the only time I know there is one is when I actually open the inbox.
This needs fixing asap!
Just like to say 1. I have a dhd sim free on official Rom. 2. With regards my notification problem the best way to save you having to clear the notification bar after you read the text is it to access your text via notifications bar in the first place.

looks like i spoke too soon.. someone sent me a sms and i hadn't seen it cause the phone didnt notify me. Only when i went into the messages app it showed :/
edit: and now im getting the notification stuck in the bar at the top HTC need to get on this.
its a very random issue. started happening to me after i deleted my HTC sense account (and then reinstalled it) after doing the OTA update to deal with the 100% CPU issue
Can confirm that trying a different messaging app from the market will fix both problems. The one with stuck notification in the bar and the one where you don't get a notification. Just make sure to disable notifications in the stock app.
Ty! I'll try that out later.

[Q] My new toy reboots randomly

It reboot mainly when i try to make calls with low signal, something while i look at the emails, now i installed k9 mail client instead of the android gmail app, but it does the same.
I can't understand if it does it since i updated it to the last firmware x.x.x.87 or since i rooted it and put gingerblur 3.5... but i don't think this is the point, i doubt something hardware is bad... or software problem?
Help!!!! I love this phone but it lacks somewhere...
Reflash the sbf and install no apps and report back.

3.2.1 rooted: no more email notifications

I have 3.2.1 rooted (a500 btw) and I just realized that ever since getting it, my email app (stock) no longer notifies me of new emails. The settings are all set up properly and the app itself otherwise works perfectly fine... but it just doesnt show notices on my homescreen when I get new email.
Also, as it would probably come up as a possible solution, my wifi is set to NEVER turn off.
So, is this just me or a glitch?
If its me, then any ideas for fixing it?

Try uninstalling the email app and reinstalling which should reinstall everything in the right place and fix this I am curious how you rooted your Acer because I have searched these forums for weeks and cannot find a working download for the rooting files
gingerbreak doesn't work on 3.2
And timmydeans downloads all fail at 230 MB
Everyone seems to still be posting links that are affiliated with megaupload!!
I'll keep trying to fix your email problem
But without rooting my Acer I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the fault
I have no idea what happened, but after having this issue for several months, the problem suddenly corrected itself a few days ago.
All I did was add the email widget to my homescreen, which prompted me to set up my email account info again (for some reason). After that, voila! Notifications again!
Maybe I just had to clear cache and data, which I probably should've tried before posting here... I forgot to try that first though. Sorry.
As for rooting 3.2.1:

Be sure to thank TimmyDean because it is all thanks to him.

Gmail crashing

Am I the only one? Just started to happen.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I have had this since updating to ICS. The problem seems to pop up when you press on a notification message to go into an email app, particularly Gmail. Once you get the problem, you have to reboot for it to really go away. I've stopped pressing on the notifications to go into email and that has appeared to help, but my main account is not Gmail so I'm not using Gmail regularly to know for sure. Also, if you are using the Gmail widget, some people say that, after the ICS update, you should remove the old Gmail widget from your homescreen and add it again.
Have you guys try wiping data for the Gmail app
Yes, works for ASUS email app, but doesn't do anything for Gmail.
Thanks for the heads up
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I'm having the same issue... has anyone found any solid fixes? If not, maybe pressure should be put on ASUS to remedy the issue, they clearly didn't get the update quite right.
My Gmail app crashes (actually 'hangs' would be a better description of what happens with mine), but never so badly that I have to reboot -- usually just a force close inside settings does the trick for me.
Ditto. So many bugs in this ICS update. No help from Asus yet.

I've found that when using the wake lock app, not only does it prevent the random reboots, etc, but Gmail seems to behave as well. Soon as I disable wake lock, its not long until gmail acts up

The first bullet: partial. Then the bottom 2 boxes ckd. You have to activate it on the next screen, then done.

I have found the exact opposite with wake lock. When I have it running, my gmail acts up. Since I deleted it I have been alright.??

Yea, go figure. Nothing to lose any sleep over. At least it doesn't reboot or SOD when on wakelock
Have any of you guys tried fixing permissions? I did and it seems to have worked so far.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
I have fixed permissions, and it only worked for a while. It seems everything I have tried only works for a while and then the problem comes back. It also seems that on a fresh reboot there is no problem, but after numerous hours the problem comes back?

That's the behavior I get. Less frequently when using wakelock
"Fixed Permissions" ?? Howto?
Yeah, I'm seriously considering going back to HC. ICS seems more snappy but that becomes moot when we have RR's, SOD's and gMail crashing left and right.
What a shame. ICS on my *unsupported* SGS runs like a charm. WTF happened that on a device which gets an "official" ICS has such great problems..

Completely agree with you. Asus released another update today, but my gmail still crashes left and right. Apparently it breaks root too, so now I can't go over to CM9 like I really want to...

I was having random Gmail crashes and slowness also with ICS. The firmware update yesterday seems to have resolved any issues I was having with Gmail.

[Q] SMS Count Wrong

The stock text messaging app always shows 1 unread message on its icon. It's very annoying and I can't find a way to make it go away. Go SMS makes you buy the premium app to sync facebook photos and Handcent is ugly as sin and doesn't seem to handle FB pics either. Only the stack app does this right, so I want to use it. but I can't get the unread count to go away. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've seen reports of this problem on other forums. Solution there was a factory reset unfortunately.

I saw that somewhere, too. Every time I see that as the solution, I just shake my head.

No problems here. Instead if going straight to factory resets you can try force stopping it and restarting it in app settings

Good idea he could also try clearing cache and deleting settings for the messaging app.

checking in... same issue.
My issue is not so persistent but still noticeable. I considered it an annoyance but becoming more and more disheartening.. I haven't pain close enough attention as of yet but will begin to. That being said, grain of salt here.. seems to be happening mostly when a text comes in while plugged into my pc via usb. The missed messages indicator seems to go away after viewing (of course) then letting ten or so minutes pass..
As stated tho, i haven't been paying enough attention to it to say these are solid observations.
Even though you'd have to redo your home screens, this is better than a factory reset - but clearing the data on the stock launcher should get rid of that.
