gmail not marking emails as read?

ok so this started this past week. I get an email and I read and delete it on my phone. later on, I go back in the gmail app and in the top left corner by "inbox" it says I have a new email, however I don't actually have a new email...when I check the gmail mobile site it shows the same email I read and deleted earlier, as unread and not deleted...
does anyone else experience this/know what I can do to fix it?

uninstall the app and reinstall it from the market.

well I can't uninstall it fully (at least not from the market) but I uninstalled updates and then updated so I'll see how that goes

Make sure your syncing is on. I had this problem, turned on background syncing and it was fixed. Hope that helps.

that was the first thing I checked haha. I have background data and auto sync both enabled though.

Happens to me all the time. I use gmail unread widget to view only unread mail to find the offending message

ADB / Root Explorer and delete Gmail.apk in /system/app/

I know that (sorry not trying to sound like an arrogant ass) so far uninstalling updates has worked though.

When you install Facebook for the first time, and after you sign in, you will be prompted to choose whether or not to sync your friends contacts to your phone. Just select don't sync and no contacts will be created.

If you did however already sync them to phone, press menu button in contacts. And choose to only show contacts with phone numbers. Then at least all the ones without phone numbers will go away

[Q] How do you uninstall a side-loaded app?

Seems like I should be able to figure it out just by pressing buttons. But I couldn't figure out how to uninstall my side-loaded apps. Any hints?

Go under system to the advanced settings. Go to apps, find it and uninstall.

I hate sounding ruse, but is this your first Android related device?

Change the default browser.

Hello.
I flashed PandroidAndroid rom and I wanted to ask if it is possible to delete Android Browser and use Chrome Browser as a system browser.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yes. Just install chrome and it'll ask if you want it to be default. Or you can delete Browser.apk from system/app.

Go to settings > apps then choose the android browser. Scroll down and press clear defaults.
Next time you open a link or anything else that redirects to a browser chose chrome and press always.

I wonder why you'd want to do that, but yes.
You can either just set chrome as default browser or delete the AOSP one completely.
When you open a link, you should be prompted with a selection of all installed browsers. Just choose the one you like.
Still, I'd recommend against chrome due to performance and privacy concerns.

Thank you all.
I want the Google Chrome to be undeleteable like the system apps(Google Maps for example).

You can use titanium backup pro to both uninstall the Android Browser and convert chrome to a system app.

Note that whenever you update your ROM the AOSP browser will be reinstalled again so you'll have to repeat the process.

Unless you have modified the rom the app is still installed, just re-add it to your home screen.

No, it isn't installed! I can find it nowhere.. Not in drawer, in widget list or in the installed APP list..
