Can't search in gmail? VIDEO

Hi guys!
I hope someone can help me pinpoint this issue. It is going to force me to return my shiny new TPT if I can't find a fix soon.
Every time I try to search gmail, the TPT starts looping through a weird refressh with a green flicker and sometimes kicks me back to the inbox.
I don't get it!
I've updated to the latest firmware and am currently running .0086.US
Has anyone gotten this to work right? Is it just a bad tablet?
I've recorded the behavior for your enjoyment so you can see what I'm talking about.
Thanks in advance y'all!

Whatsapp notification woes driving me crazy!

So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here

emailed whatsapp support
I emailed whatsapp support, got and automated response, i'll post if I get any updates

Hi,
I just recently switched to a samsung galaxy s4 ( two actually, one for me,
one for GF), before that we used iphone 4 and 4s, never had an issue with
whatsapp notifications until I switched this passed friday. The issue is
once the phone goes into sleep mode, be it mobile data or wifi, I have to
force close the app and open again to receive notifications that I got
hours ago if I don't continously check.
I've googled the hell out of it and found your FAQ, as well as plenty other
sites with the same issue except no solution.
From your FAQ:
1. tried re-installing directly from direct download link (
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk) and not from play
store
2. tried rebooting.
3. notifications are set properly
4. google+ is disabled ( hangouts) ( tried enabling it, same result)
5. Wifi is set to always on.
Note this is on stock, brand new phones and apparently it's a wide spread
issue:

Sadly, both

Do you lock the screen while whatsapp is open? Or do you choose whatsapp and then lock the screen?
If whatsapp is still running and on the screen, and you lock the screen, it's like the app just stops checking.. I've had this with multiple phones and its a whatsapp problem, not the phone.

So basically your solution was leave whatsapp on screen and push lockscreen?

No, the opposite. For me, whatsapp only worked and checked for msgs if i closed the app and then locked the screen. I would usually come back to the homescreen or something. But if i locked over whatsapp, it would stop checking or take a really long time.
But since you say you've done both, I'm kinda stumped.

I have tried that as well :/
Currently trying to installing .763, updated from .762, but whatsapp servers are probably getting busted as can't even verify my number.

Bro install Whatsapp+.
Google and download the apk,install and see if it helps.
If not, the only way is to root the S4 and install push notification fixer from play store. It modifies andriod to check for msges every 5mins. That will solve your problem for sure.

Hey mate,
I've probably tried all apps or methods by insanity to try getting this problem fixed. Unfortunately, nothing positive turned out.
Now I'm trying to off my screen when whatsapp is open, however, I still think it's unbelievably stupid to do so even if it works to get push notification. How can I go back to whatsapp whenever i wanna put the phone back in my jeans pocket? It then seems whatsapp would become the new homescreen?!?!?
Anyone got a real solution to this???

Also having this problem. Screen off, screen on - sometimes whatsapp just doesn't want to receive/send messages. Other times it's working properly.
Have you guys disabled Samsung Push? Have you disabled any system apps at all? Also, do you have the problem even when your phone has a good signal?
I'm also trying to find out the reason for this problem.

I do disable some system app like weather, finance and stuff like those. To me, what I can confirm is the independence of problem from the signal strength since I've been using the same service provider before upgrading to Jelly Bean and there used to be problem free with the push notification.
This is the result I got last night:
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> homescreen -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> free ram -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> screen off = push
Conclusion:
- it is not related to free ram
- it is the problem that the andriod system turn off the app upon screen off (or sleep)
Plus.
I tried installing Push Notification Fixer to introduce "heartbeat" to maintain the connectivity, unfortunately, it DOES NOT work in my case.
Let's keep in view the development. At least we are not alone and hope either Whatsapp or Google can fix this.

Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
It's a thread which guides you how to disable some allegedly useless google services in order to save battery life when idle. It works, but I think it might have been what's caused my whatsapp to go crazy. I even asked in the thread and some others have the same problem.
But if most other people in this thread haven't disabled said google services, that doesn't make any sense.

Mate. Trust me i know this issue exist on all andriod. i googled the hell out of it because i quarrelled with my partner a few times due to delay in replies. its just the way the kernel is written for stock andriod. you can try everything but it wont work. your only solution is to root and install push notification fixer from play store.

This isn't an issue with android it's an issue with whatsapp. Every android phone I've ever owned has had this issue with whatsapp. Whatsapp need to update their app so it still notifies if it was the last app open whilst the screen locks.
I just press home after I reply and let it lock its second nature to me. The bug is in whatsapp where if it is the last displayed whilst screen lock notifications don't work. You could try changing the conversation tone that might help.

That's wrong... It was perfectly fine, instantly receiving whatsapp messages in my phone no matter what. Something I've changed caused it to stop working.
My problem isn't only the notifications, it's the actual whatsapp messages aswell. Something killed the Whatsapp wakelocks, now my whatsapp isn't causing any wakelocks and when the phone is idle it does not check for messages.

Textra "+" Not working?

Hey Guys, The stock sms app stinks, "new messages" gets annoying.
Textra seems great, however when I hit the "+" button to get to mms-emoji,etc..
it just turns green and the keyboard pops up. nothing else.
Anyone running into this?

I haven't been able to get Textra to work properly. I use 8sms now and am really happy with it.

You can also recreate the behavior by adding Textra to your pen window as well, ..

Spoke to the Dev - He is blacklisting Textra and we should be good to go.
he said he had to do the same with s-health as well.

Ok so once that happens, we'll be able to re-enable MW Apps Manager and Textra just won't work with it anymore?

It sounds like it was the MW Apps Manager dev that you contacted, right?
There was an update for Textra tonight and one of the fixes was for MMS on the Note 3. I thought it might solve our problem, but no luck. So I emailed the Textra dev. I doubt anything will come of that, but maybe...
Btw, I don't know if you noticed, but it is still possible to attach stuff to texts through the share option of other apps.

Help! Notification Access turns off for many apps

I have a number of apps that I give access to Notifications. (Settings > Security > Notification Access). Apps like Google Wear are pretty useless without Notification Access.
For some odd reason all of these apps will lose their check mark and no longer have access to notifications. Makes my Moto 360 a dead weight on my arm. It's not hard to turn notification back on, I just have to go into settings and check mark it. It's that I have no idea that it's turned off until I start missing important notifications on my watch. It's a real pain.
There seems to be no reason for them to become unchecked, they just do. A reboot doesn't cause this. Seems to happen about once a day.
How can I make sure that all of these apps (7 of them) keep their access to notifications?

Nobody else have this issue?

Same problem here
Hello, I have the same problem here with Galaxy Note 3 in Lollipop. Everything keeps getting unchecked in Notification Access. I have an Android Wear watch so it's even more annoying, since I stop receiving notifications on my watch.
Any solution to this that does not involve rooting? I did a hard reset (2, actually) but the problem persists. I have a long trip soon and would like my phone to be as stable as possible since I will be depending on it for guides, GPS, etc.
Thanks!

Apps randomly refresh

Hey, just wondering if anyone else is having problems with apps randomly refreshing. It happens in every app except the browsers. It's a bit annoying when you are typing thingso out and the app refreshes, losing what you typed. I've tried reinstalling apps, I have no idea what's up.
Thanks again.

Never experienced what you are getting.
Maybe upload a video so other users can see what is actually happening.
Is it on every application? or selected application? Like HTML5 apps?

Not sure, seems like all my apps, except Browser apps. I'll upload a video sometime tomorrow or the next day, I'm on limited wifi, so uploading some videos would take forever. It's weird and very frustrating, I really want to like this phone, but with the apps refreshing at times when I don't need them to be, it's a real bummer. You'll being doing something in almost any app and it will refresh/reload itself.

Same here, it started from today. First noticed on snapchat, took a video about to post it lol lost it. Then youtibe app refreshed itself, also media player while watchibg video. Its kinda weird. Maybe its ram problem ?

Had a factory worked for you, because I have the same problem.
It started out of nowhere. Really annoying.
YouTube videos also randomly get paused.

Same problem here, it has been going on for over a week now. Thought it was maybe a screen or gesture setting... Nope. Then thought maybe it was the Nova app launcher, but I've uninstalled it and still have the same issue.

I have the same here. Did anything work for you?

I'm having the same problem! I'll be scrolling and the page is constantly resetting to the top. Filling out forms and they'll be deleted. YouTube videos are always stopping. It's a real pain. Has anyone discovered the cause or a solution yet?

Has anybody got a fix for this issue? Its really annoying.

Its an issue for me too. I will try reset today.

My factory reset seemed to work for a while, but then it started doing it again. S7 running nouget

Do you mean auto update? Instead of auto refresh? as far as I know auto refreshing apps are normal, it's supposed to do that. Example your weather app (if you have use them)
If you mean auto update you can change the setting in the play store
