[Q] Gmail isn't sending e-mails? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I tried to send several e-mails with photo attachments. the first fo out the rest linger and never leave the outbox. in older version I could force resend but in this one I don't see such option. Anyone knows what to do?

Completely uninstall it with something like titanium backup, then reinstall it from the market... Should fix it.

Not on the s4, but ive had that problem with gmail before.

1) check the size of the attachments - could be just too large (I'm still working on that one too).
2) you even put a [Q] on it - why isn't this in Q&A? You're just making more work for Spidey...

I've had this happen on my Galaxy S I through the S4. I'd say 75%+ of the time my emails with pictures will not send. And I'm only talking one picture attached, so nothing massive.
Sometimes a reboot will get them to send. Sometimes I cancel the email in the outbox but then the email eventually sends anyway somehow. I don't know of any fixes and it's a pain when shopping and wanting to show someone a picture. I usually upload it to my Google+ and have them look there.

Happened to my s4 and note2,it takes quite a while (~10mins+) to sent

I experienced the same issue when sending emails. When I turn off WiFi I am able to send using data.

Wrong Name For Text Messages?

Is anyone else having issues with the wrong name being displayed in the notification bar and/or the message thread?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Actually it happened just one time. showed the wrong name in the thread on the top. Rebooted and it fixed itself. No clue why or how but hasn't happened ever since

I have rebooted multiple times. Plus it has occurred when my phone was unrooted and now that it is rooted.

Try clearing the cache for the messaging app.

I had it happen quite frequently with one particular friend's name and photo appearing. Upon investigation, I discovered that friend's Facebook account listed a blank phone number and was linked to my own entries. The blank number apparently matched a variety of non-standard SMS numbers including those long numbers used for email-to-SMS. Unlinking and removing his Facebook entry solved the problem until he fixed it on his end. Might be something to look for.
Happened to me on stock and earlier lag fixes, hasn't happened since I had to reflash and installed new lag fix.
Solution? Delete that persons inbox, it always happened when high volume of texts would come. Then, I'd see two identical names threads in my inbox, one would be obviously for the wrong person. What's sad is that if you go and kill messaging via task killer, it fixes itself, but then it starts sending texts to wrong people, very annoying.

Any fix for this guys?
Yeah this has happened to me twice. I remember I was sending a video to my gf and it accidentally sent it to someone else. Or at least it looked like it went to someone else because the name was different. Thankfully they didn't receive it because it was a private video kind of haha.
I usually delete the 200+ text message threads and it fixes this issue.

But there's an option to have it auto delete when it reaches 200 messages per thread.

This problem seems to be an Android problem and not one specifically associated with the Vibrant.
There's a long discussion going on here: (sorry, I'm a new user and can't post URLs. So, add "www" to the following) : .google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=345259e6d424bad3&hl=en
Perhaps someone with some more experience with the code behind the standard messaging app can take a look and help figure out what's going on.
My "work around" has been to use a 3rd party SMS tool (e.g., Handcent) rather than the Android messaging app. The problem has not repeated for me using the 3rd party tool.

[Q] Why SMS's are automatically deleting

Stepped away from my MT4G for a minute, when I returned, I found all my SMS's deleted. Only had about 1000, and 5-10 pictures messages. I know I had ~1GB of free memory. This was a big issue with my Nexus One, but didn't expect this to happen on the MT4G.
Does anyone know the cause of this?

Well, I know the stock messaging app has a setting to delete old messages, so you might want to check and see if that is checked.

It has not been checked since I got the phone. Seems to be common reading the T-MO forums.
I know that the max thread of messages to the same recipient is 200 so if you are not deleting messages on a normal maintenance basis, perhaps some of them are getting bumped after the 200 message Max is being reached? These, of course, are referring to messages to and from the same recipient(s). My wife likes to babble and I can get to 200 messages in no time....just sayin.

I woke up to this happening yesterday, but I use evil's miui rom. All messages were gone and new ones would not show up. Had to reflash to fix it.
Are you using the stock messaging app or some other messaging app? Because it happened to me once with handcent. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again and everything is working fine since.
silly problem
guys I can sure that you have installed quick cache cleaner app, or any other equalent app, it will delet all sms when u clear the all system cache,
solution: all you have to do is very simple open cache cleaner app n select messages press n hold it n select EXCLUDE that's it your problem solved ...

[Q] Stuck "Sending.." GMAIL

I know there is already a thread on stuck sending text message, ive only had that happen to me twice and both times they turned grey after a few minutes and said "failed" I just hit resend and it works fine.
My issue is that emails, 5 times now have got stuck on sending and never time out.
Is there anyway to fix this quickly? The only thing I have got to work is unsyncing my account that I was sending it from and then resyncing it.
every time this has happened i was sending multiple files, and had an intermittent 3g connection.
If this is the same issue as the other thread feel free to move this post into that thread.

Excellent question, I have had this happen to me as well. Here is what I did to (I think) fix it:
Uninstall/delete the Gmail.apk from /system/app using Root Explorer or ADB. Next I pushed the stock Gmail.apk from a zip I had lying around and rebooted. Once the app is reinstalled I went to the market and updated it to the newest version, which ended up fixing the problem. I hope this helps, I know your pain

well i just updated gmail, i wish i hadnt deleted the sending email so i could see if it fixed it.
but i did try to send a couple more emails before updating and none of them would send. .. now they send fine.
before it would just happen randomly, so lets hope it was just a bug in the old gmail app.

Eh most likely it would have stopped them from sending anyway while it updated. Glad that fixed the problem, if the issue arises again feel free to post again in this thread.

cmon toppy nursey, do you really think, that you got people in here restarting their phone, deleting storage, deleting syncs... etc and nobody tried to exit gmail and wait a few seconds...
Going into airplane mode was also one of the first things I tried it didnt help at all.
Well I can confirm that the problem still happens with the latest gmail. even if you can delete the email thats stuck sending... if you try to send another one it will get stuck as well. the quickest solution works for me is clear data and clear cache of the gmail app. If it happens again Im going to try to just clear cache and see if that works.
I will update this thread in the future if I find any more information out.

Actually when I first noticed the problem I read a lot around here and people were coming up with all sorts of complex solutions. I tried those as well, but often the simple solution is usually the most elegant. Instead of focusing in on the problem it is better to understand exactly what is going on that causes what you are seeing.
Yes, the simple solution is to just exit out of gmail and wait for gmail to execute its programming and send out your email. Constantly "checking" just exacerbates the problem.
Sent from Bonsai 7.0.3
This isn't a Gmail specific problem. It happens with Yahoo Mail and the stock email app that came with the Epic. I switched to Gmail to avoid this problem but it did not help. I also will have outgoing email send multiple times which us extremely annoying. This happens on 3g and wifi, so its not a connectivity issue.

Can you please elaborate on "understanding what exactly is going on" all you said was its executing programming.. to me it seems like its not doing anything, or its stuck in a loop.
Ive had emails stuck "sending..." for 48 hours before... so if waiting is the solution, I cant wait 2+ days to send an email.
I really hope you can explain whats happening, Im interested and it sounds like you know what you are talking about at a coding level.
clearing data in gmail and clearing data in google frameworks did it for me when I have sending problems.
Truth!

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but had to have some leg surgery to keep some slow flesh eating bacteria at bay. I'm not a coder or even a programmer. What I do seem to do very well is looking at complex problems and coming up with simple solutions. You might consider me to be a systems analyst (aka a RN) so to speak.
Since we live in a logical world things happen for a reason. In the case of computers we can assume that every result is brought upon us by the action or inaction of a program. Thus the simple solution for this problem is to forget about it and check back with Gmail when we next need to use the app. It's not a fix per se, but an analysis of what is going on. Works every time for me.

Handscent Android group chat like iPhone

Well here it is my fellow androids. We asked for it and Handcent fell through. We should all thank Handcent and their developers for this new big update. Keep in mind this app is still in Beta stage. However, I tested it for a couple of days and I was able to chat with my fellow iPhone lovers. I was also able to chat with verizon Galaxy Nexus, Thunderbolt and LG revolution. I havent had a chance to chat with none Verizon phones. You guys will be our testers. Please list all bugs here and Ill forward the list to the developer. So far there are two bugs with this build. The first bug is double notifications on group mms and the second one is blurry background images with Droid Razor phones
Setup:
1. You must make this app default messaging app for all MMS and SMS.
"settings"->application settings->Default Messaging Application-> All(SMS&MMS)
2. You must enable Thread Group Conversation. Its all the way down in application settings
"settings"->application settings->group messaging->check Thread Group conversation
3. MMS retrieval should be set to Auto unless you want to download each group message.
4. You might experience some lag as the group mms pour in one after another. I think this is normal cuz I do experience it on my Razor maxx using the stock app since it has this this feature built in. In addition, I asked my freind with iPhone 4s if he experiences lag when all these group messages pour in and he said yes. Sometimes he cant touch his phone until all the messages have been received
5. Be gentle on me if I missed any bugs. Im already in the Dog house in my wifes book for spending too much time on this project. This is the reason why the developer is releasing the app for public feedback.
File got updated:
Fixed double notification
fixed some bugs
This file not in market, so you guys are Handcent beta testers.

Loving the capability! It seems to be working well.
Have one question/bug. Some replies say "Me:" and they go to the group. Some replies say "Me to name: and they are going individually to the group it appears.
I did not do anything different I don't think on any of the replies but I may be missing something or this could be a bug.
Thanks for the great feature!

The file has been update. Hopefully fix your issue.
So far I have had it "break" and resort to sending separate messages once. I have three theories as to why...
It may have been due to not completely removing my old Handcent beta first.
I was Texting with friends pretty frequently, and I noticed if I exit the thread and re-enter it would "convert to MMS", Maybe it drops out of MMS if you send several texts in a row?
The thread I was sending to had my google voice number in it, so I was essentially sending messages to myself at the same time.
Sometimes if you have a group message with say Joe Smith as a participant and a separate thread with Joe, getting the group text will show a notification for the separate thread and you have to do "mark as read" to fix it.
I am on a HTC Thunderbolt BTW.
Did not try the updated file yet, downloading now.

An issue happens when you send texts too quickly it sends you back to inbox and doesn't display the messages. From what my friends tell me it displays something weird in their group chat. I have to visually see it to confirm. Love that it actually works though

How is it supposed to work? I tried it with my friend who has an iPhone but it didn't send messages via Internet service but normaly as SMS messages. Friend with iPhone tried to pull his sim card out of phone with no succes. Does it need any special settings to make it work?
Anyway I don't care much cause I have all my SMS free I just wanted to try that function.
I use HC Talk service to chat with my girlfriend everyday so there's no problem about functionless HC Service

In the first post is suggests going to settings>application settings>default messaging application>set it to all sms and mms.
Then settings again>application settings>scroll all the way down>check the thread group conversation box.

sms texts always in new threads sent and received

hey
i have a wierd problem with texts
every message i receive goes into its own thread instead of updating the current persons text thread..
i just changed rom's so backed up my sms's with sms backup and restore. , after restoring i noticed that all my sent messeges and received messages to people there in 2 different threads for each person one thread for sent one for received....
so i thought it might have been a dodgy backup... so i viewed the backup but everything looks ok nothing is split into 2 threads .... each person has 1 thread
so i thought it might be the sms backup not being compaitable with my new rom (dragon j/b 1.7) so i deleted my sms's ALL of them and started from scratch....
but again i just received a text from a friend i replied to that and when he replied again it went into a new thread......
anyone help?
checked my contacts they are all linked (ie, facebook....google.... accounts into one contact file)
anyone? can't seem to find info anywhere
