Gmail stuck in outbox

I have an N7 3g. I'm using MoDaCa's JR-4. Outgoing emails continually get stuck in the outbox and don't go out. I think it has something to do with N7. I have never had this problem with other android cell phones, PC, etc.
Is there a solution?
Thanks

I have had this problems on phones before, but not yet on the N7 *knocks on wood.
First I would check your sync settings to make sure all is appropriate.
The way I was able to remedy the situation was to either uninstall gmail, and reinstall, or just uninstall the latest update. I haven't had that fail me yet. You could also try clearing data, cache, and force stop the app from settings first.
(may require reboot after)
Good luck!

i had this issue in Gmail today on the N7 running a CM 10.1 nightly. i used to see this a lot as well on Gingerbread, and uninstalling the app/clearing data in the app does work but makes you lose the draft you had written(which sucks if it was a long one!). i used to solve it by clicking reply and creating a dummy message in the same thread, saving that message as a draft, then going into my drafts folder and the message that got stuck would have an option to send... or something like that, and that worked. however, i couldn't seem to get it to work today, on Gmail 4.1.2 fortunately my stuck message today was small, so i just cleared data in the app and rewrote it, and it did send then.

You could also just highlight the whole draft and copy, then paste when done. It should be copied to your clip board and not the gmail app. I suppose it is always safer to save it somewhere before deleting, though I would think if you were going to do that, you would want to save the copy in a different app like ever note.

I'll try that here on Jelly Bean next time, but that actually wasn't possible before. When the message got stuck sending, it was in a limbo state where the text of the message wasn't accessible to be copied! I definitely tried that because i lost some pretty long drafts!

I have rolled back gmail to the earlier version several times but it keeps updating behind my back and emails become stuck in the outbox again.

I have rolled back gmail to the earlier version several times but it keeps updating behind my back and emails become stuck in the outbox again. Also, although I'm currently using JR-4, I have CM-10, PA, and stock rooted ROMS nandroided. I could restore any of them and test, but I'm pretty certain it's ubiquitous. It's either the gmail app or android 4.21.
Also, I have a Galaxy Note 2. 2 versions of gmail are installed: 1.0 and 4.21, and emails don't get stuck. N7 only has has 4.21 installed. Why doesn't N7 also have 1.0 installed?
Also, I just cleared cache and data and the email is resynching. I'm certain that the problem will return. I love the N7, but this is really annoying.

Is there a particular version of Gmail that works better? If so, have you gone into your market settings and disabled automatic updating? I've been running the 4.1.2 version for a long time now, and it never updates to 4.2. I also disabled update notifications so it doesn't bug me at all.
But yeah, it's an annoying issue. Sometimes i turn to K9 Mail, as it works great for Gmail accounts. Plus i love the dark theme option. In the end i like the way native Gmail synchs tho.

Thanks for your help. How can I downgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.1.2? I think that will work until Google addresses this issue. The Disable link inside "App Info" used to show this downgrade capability. However, that text was probably there when I was using a different Rom. I have MoDaCa JR-4 running now and I think I want to keep it.

I think if you flashed a ROM that came with 4.2, you won't have the option to uninstall updates. In any case, i posted 4.1.2 in the 3rd to last post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005006. You can just uninstall 4.2 and install 4.1.2 if you wish. I will warn you tho, I did have the stuck sending issue yesterday, but I think that was the first time.

Oh sorry, if it is a /system app in the ROM, then you'll need to use Titanium Backup or a file explorer app. The free version of Titanium will do the job.

I just use file explorer to delete it from /system/app, then install the 4.1.2 apk and turn off automatic updating in Play Store?

Bad news 4.1.2 emails are now stuck in outbox.

This happens because Google wants to take over your e-mail service; in other words you must be using your Android or smartphone's e-mail app instead of Google's GMAIL App. There are two fixes to this problem, first is to download Goggle's GMAIL App and use that for email communication; and second is to ask google to allow 'less secure' apps i.e. non-google to access your e-mails (i know!) Here are the steps for the second option:
Allowing less secure apps to access your account
Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with iOS 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
Change account access for less secure apps
To help keep Google Apps users' accounts secure, we may block less secure apps from accessing Google Apps accounts. As a Google Apps user, you will see a "Password incorrect" error when trying to sign in. If this is the case, you have two options:
Option 1: Upgrade to a more secure app that uses the most up to date security measures. All Google products, like Gmail, use the latest security measures.
Option 2: Change your settings to allow less secure apps to access your account. We don't recommend this option because it might make it easier for someone to break into your account. If you want to allow access anyway, follow these steps:
Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account.
Next to "Access for less secure apps," select Turn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)
If you still can't sign in to your account, the "password incorrect" error might be caused by a different reason.

No Messenger notifications?

Hi,
I have no idea why, but I don't get any push notifications from Facebook Messenger. There is no sound, no vibraitions, nothing in notications. And yet, in the app itself I see that someone wrote to me.
Symptoms:
No notifactions
No chatheads
Full Facebook app itself does notifactions: it tells me about new friends, birthdays etc. Also: when I open a new conversation via Facebook app, it creates that chathead bubble. And with that pinned to my screen I can get atleast some sounds.
When I manage apps, under Messenger, I usually have two services: ChatHeadService and MqttPushService (sometimes also EventService and
I still get notifications from other apps, like SMS, Facebook itself, Google Play etc.
What I did:
I cleared all the cache and app data for Facebook and Messenger (multiple times!)
I reinstalled both Facebook and Messenger
I restarted my phone and did Wipe Cache via Recovery.
I double checked if I have notifications enabled both in my Messenger app and in Application Settings
I have enabled synchronization.
Nothing worked. And yes, until... I have no idea what, everything worked just great.
I'm using Galaxy S4 i9505 with I9505XXUEMJ7. And Messenger/Facebook are the newest, freshly installed versions from the market.
Do you have ANY idea how to fix my problem? Maybe there is some KNOX block or whatever that I'm not aware of?

Out of the Blue, the exact same symptoms. Everything was working fine until a few weeks ago. Suddenly, facebook messenger gives me no notifications at all.
What I tried more was installing older facebook and messenger versions without any luck!
My device is Galaxy S4 i9505 with XXUFNB9 no root

My problem was on Facebook side.
Try creating totally new account and log in with it into your Phone. Check if you recieve notifications.
If yes, go to Facebook settings and delete all (ALL) apps that you have connected. From what I gathered the problem was in one of the apps that probably was stealing all the attention.

Yeap! I disabled all apps from Facebook settings and... blink! Notifications! Don't know which app did the trick but don't really mind. Thank you for your time!! :laugh:
SOLVED

Any way to truly deactivate or get rid of BB Hub?

Hi there,
from the moment I got my Priv about for months ago, I deactivated all of the BB apps and Bloatware (like Yahoo Finances) because I just don't need them. Sadly, you can't just uninstall them, so deactivating is the only way.
Just recently I discovered that despite being deactivated, BB Hub still had some permissions (maybe this was changed by the last OS update?) so I revoked them. Now BB Hub (which shouldn't be doing anything since it's deactivated) constantly sits in the notification bar and asks for permissions. I can't even edit or add new contacts without the BB Hub popping up on fullscreen and asking me to grant it permissions. But I don't want to.
Not only is the BB Hub superflous for me - I use Contacts+, don't use the FB app (only in the browser), have only one email-adress (and if I had more, I would integrate them into my gmail inbox) and I surely don't want to have those annoying Whatsapp messages in the same place where my SMS, calls and emails etc are.
I also don't trust BB and don't want to give them access to my contacts, calendar, messages or location. Why does the Hub need location data anyway? And why is the BB Hub so invasive that it even controls the standard Android contacts app?
This is so annoying! I just wish I could root my phone and install CM or any other AOSP-based ROM. But I can't. So the next best thing would be to get rid or at least truly deactivate apps like BB Hub. Does anyone know a way to achieve this?
Would it maybe be possible to get temp-root access and just delete the BB Hub file from the system folder?
Any help would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance!
EDIT: Okay never mind, I've found the culprit! Blackberry Services was active and had permissions. I deactivated it (again) and revoked the permissions and now the annoying pop-up is gone! The OTA update reactivated the BB Services (just as it had reactivated all other pre-installed apps). Guess I overlooked it after the last update.
Maybe some admin can just delete this thread. Or leave it there for others in the future who might encounter the same problem. Whatever's best.

Does your PRIV becomes smoother and less lag after deactivate all of them ? And will they reactivated back after a reboot ? Because my thoughts on Disabling apps, it will run as usual after a reboot.

Regretting 8.1 upgrade, seeking solutions

Since installing 8.1 Wednesday morning:
1. My Google Camera app wouldn't open; I had to replace it.
2. Gmail stopped automatically downloading my email from yahoo.
3. Samsung Gear S2 no longer vibrates when PH-1 receives SMS (it vibrates with Facebook messenger messages, though.) I uninstalled all the associated apps and reset the watch - problem is still there.
If anyone has solutions for 2 or 3, lemme know. Both the Samsung Gear and Samsung Accessory Service app pages on Play Store are flooded with reports that vibrations have stopped working. The indicator shows on the watch face, but the watch doesn't vibrate. Reddit has reports of the same, as well.
At this point, I'd lose days rebuilding the phone if I backed up to Nougat. If you have advice or recommendations, please share 'em.

The fastest way to downgrade would be using Titanium backup to make backups of everything you need andor want then fastboot flash back with essential's firmware on their website.

How is your Yahoo account set up... POP or IMAP? If you're having problems with the one fetch method... Try the other...
Is there a setting in you S2 app that turns vibration on and off for individual apps? Otherwise I think that's a blame Samsung...

Yes, there are settings that allow the S2 to vibrate for selected apps only. Messages and FB Messenger are both switched on; only FB Messenger vibrates the S2.

From everything I've read, I need to first root the phone, in order to get Titanium to operate. And, as I understand it, rooting (more accurately, unlocking the bootloader so that I can root) will wipe out all of my phone's settings. If I'm going to have to rebuild this thing from scratch, Essential is getting a call.

Essential customer service wasn't helpful.
I flashed back to 7.1.1 then re-installed 8.1 via OTA. Everything works again. Next step is to root to get Titanium on. I tried this morning, but failed, for some reason.

Make sure you grant titanium backup all it's permissions...
And if you can't get it to restore... Try switching to SELinux permissive

Got the phone rooted, but GMail was just NOT playing nicely with Yahoo; it would not auto-sync and notify of new emails. It would only download new email if/when GMail was launched. Long story short, I manually added the server settings for POP3 and that finally fixed it.
Incoming: pop.mail.yahoo.com, port 995, SSL/TLS
Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, SSL/TLS
Other things I did that may have helped:
1. I uninstalled my Yahoo account from GMail.
2. GMail still showed remnants of my Yahoo account, so I uninstalled the latest GMail update. THAT action removed my Yahoo account.
3. I also verified my Yahoo account was removed from "Users & accounts" under Settings
4. From my PC, I changed my Yahoo password.
5. From my PC, I turned off Yahoo's "two-step verification" security under Yahoo's account settings. [During GMail account setup, the "two-step verification" security approach doesn't appear to use the server's typical password authentication credentials. Instead, it uses text messaging and proprietary codes entered into Chrome, which kept generating a 404 error on my PH-1.]

HOWTO: Yotaphone 3 with Google apps [BUGGY]

THIS METHOD IS BUGGY. USE IT WISELY!
Thanks for jan.nowak, and after doing some research, all Google features are working perfectly.
Here is the walkthrough:
0. Boot your device to home screen. If you are using ADB to install, make sure you enabled USB Debugging in Developer Settings.
0a. (Optional) Use ADB from your PC or download APK files to your phone and install.
1. Check the Android version. My version is 7.1.1 (I don't see any difference on this at the moment) [REMEMBER: ONLY INSTALL THE APK THAT MATCHES YOUR ANDROID VERSION!].
2. Download and install Google Services Framework from APKMirror. Make sure you download noarch Android 7.1+ nodpi.
3. Download and install Google Play services from APKMirror. Make sure you download arm64 + arm Android 6.0+ nodpi [Version I used: 12.5.20 (040400-189423146)].
4. Download and install Google Account Manager from APKMirror. Make sure you download noarch Android 6.0+ nodpi.
5. Download and install Google Play services from APKMirror. Just get the latest, but not targeted for 8.0+.
6. Download and install Google Contacts Sync from APKMirror. There should be only one for 7.1.1 version.
7. Reboot your device. Then try to add Google account in the Account settings. It might have sync issue, but few times rebooting and checking out Contact app, it should sync your contact.
Troubleshooting:
1. The contact sync is a bit weird, try to disable/enable the sync options in Account settings and check your Contact app.
2. Gmail should work now, if it doesn't work, try to run
Code:
adb logcat *:E
and see whats the error just after GMail error. If you see j
Code:
ava.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: "/data/app/com.google.android.gms-1/lib/arm/libgmscore.so" is 32-bit instead of 64-bit
that means you have installed the wrong Google Play Services. Please install arm64+arm version.

How about Google Calendar? I'm unable to sync it. Solutions?

Other apps for e-ink?
I have other issue with phone. I wonder if you found some solutions to those:
1. It seems system it kills an app after a day of inactivity. There is one option that tries to save energy, so puts an app into after roughly 5 minutes after locking the device. Kind of annoying because it was killing massenger/whatsapp's calls. I've managed to switch that off in settings. However, it seems that it still can put WhatsApp into sleep after a day of inactivity. Do you know how to keep apps alive - so, I don't have to check WhatsApp - just in case it was put to sleep.
Off topic:
2. What apps support e-ink display? I can use Kindle for it - which is great - but it would be nice to use more than one app. I use from time to time trick posted by ian.nowak - to use "mirror mode" into e-ink. But it works until you lock the device. So, maybe you can advice e-ink friendly apps. Any tip or trick will be greatly appreciated.

What doesn't work still - the most important dysfunctions:
- email push notifications,
- messenger notifications (and probably notifications from most "push applications"),
- autostart of some apps,
- SMS quite often do not reach my phone.

I see a constant issue with google, the play service is unstable, might be related to the kernel or auto-killing problem. As i do not own the phone, i cant test it very often. Try to reboot the phone might help

- Autostart of app during boot, might need more test first, but seems has no issue woth whatsapp.
- gmail confirmed no issue. Check settings does it has any sync issue, logcat should help a bit.
- sms/messenger/email should be related to the previous issue.

1. Might have a look when have a time. Seems it has a auto-killing issue or disconnection after time.
2. Well, this is weird as they do not create a lot of apps that support e-ink, seems you can only read ebooks and news with official provided apps only. Although i am native chinese, i still dont find them very useful at all. Sadly speaking, the major usage of the screen is just the wallpaper.

Gmail settings checked triple times. All are ON. After some times You could not even force sync from accounts settings.
SMS I don't see much relations (no sync options, not related (directly) with Google services).

anybody have any insight on this? I have my buddies yotaphone 3 and it wont sync the calendar :/
