Hey all, I'm having a problem with the native gmail app. As of yesterday 3pm (at least what the sync screen shows the last gmail sync) my gmail app will not sync or open. It crashes/force closes everytime I open gmail. I can use the native email app and access gmail from there but it is not push or in my opinion as good as the native gmail app. I'm running JFv1.42 RC33 Mod, with my apps on SD card with ext2 partition. I also have app data moved to sd card as well. Everything runs fine except my gmail app which mysteriously stopped working yesterday. I'm trying to avoid wiping the G1 as I don't want to hafta go and download all those applications over again.
So far I've tried reflashing JFv1.42 RC33 mod, app still crashes. I tried moving data back to phone, app still crashes. I don't understand what has happened, or what could be causing this, my wifes gmail app works just fine? Anyways any other ideas I can try before going thru the tedious task of wiping and flashing and redownloading everything again?
Fixed it, just posting this in case anyone else might run into same problem. I went into menu>>settings>>Applications>>Manage applications>>Gmail Storage>> Then tap clear data. (Don't worry, gmail will sync your mail again, you won't lose anything) After that Gmail started syncing and wasn't giving me a force close or crash, but the mail still wouldn't sync. So I rebooted, then opened gmail app, all my mail synced and everythings fine!

doesnt work for me damn..
edit : su copy.sh undodata seems to have fixed the issue
i have then again moved my apps and data back to sd card.
The issue is EXT2 doesn't play too well with memory cards and gets corrupted easily from what I've been told. I've had my google apps database get corrupted multiple times and it was caused by a corrupted file system which forced me to have to load up a linux livecd to fix the file system errors. Now I keep my data on the internal memory to avoid the issue. From what I understand if we had an easy way to create a yaffs2 partition instead of EXT2 this problem would be less frequent.
This resolved my syncing issues, thanks!

CONFIRMED. I had to do this on my Nexus1. When checking out applications management, filter by "all". Thanks again!
Hi, I'm running CM7 n96 on my NC. The Facebook app seems to be running fine, but as soon as i select 'Places' the app force closes. I tried uninstalling and then re-installing, didn't help. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yes Sir- Every time I try to go there using the facebook app-Boom, FC!
I got so tired of trying to use the app, I just go there using a browser now!
Here's a workaround I found:
1) enable GPS fine location in Location Settings.
2) Enable mock locations in Development Settings.
3) Install TetherGPS from Marketplace, the client version which is what's needed is free.
4) Start the TetherGPS client before opening the Places section of the FB app.
This prevents Places from crashing, as well as several other apps I have that display the same behavior when calling to the non-existant GPS.
Anyone on here ever have trouble using the G+ app after flashing a new ROM and then backing up with TB? I'm having this issue on my Nexus S & 10, but my 7 is mysteriously fine...can't figure out why and there are no solutions online that work. I've turned 2 step authentication off, removed my Google account and then signed back in, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled, and checked my Wifi Settings...nothing has worked. This issue is driving me insane.

I'm having the same problem, except its with my Nexus 7. Rooted with TWRP, been running CleanROM3.0 for a while now, but installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (31/01/13) today. Restored apps using Titanium but some would not restore, including Youtube and Google+. Upon installing Google+ I got the error message "Cannot connect to Server".
I have since, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, formatted internal data, removed all of my google accounts (had two other accounts on there that I had not signed up to google+ with) and added my main one again - but still can't sign in to G+. Also saw other fixes online such as updating your location and time/date settings, but did not work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled G+ about 6000 times today I think. I finally managed to sign into a 2.0 version of the Google+ app that I found online, and then tried updating to the latest in the Play Store, but it did not display the update option, and when I uninstalled and reinstalled, again I couldn't sign in. Thinking of going back to stock, re rooting and installing Cyanogenmod when I get home - but if you discover any other fixes in the meantime please let me know!
Thanks,
I finally got it to work. Here's how I did it:
Wipe your device, flash whatever ROM you use, flash GAPPS, login using your Google account (do it manually) and then when you boot up TB install everything as you usually do, but don't restore system settings or any of the google apps (no G+, Wallet, etc) install those manually using the Play store. If what I did actually made it work, then you shouldn't have any problems using G+.

I'm having this issues also, thanks for the help!
Edit
-Still, it does not work. I wiped, flashed a ROM, ignore titanium backup, login and installed Google+ from playstore but it really does not work When I open the app, it just lead me to a white background then google+ does not load. The same as messenger app.

I'm out of ideas :/
I'm a little late to the party, but is there any chance any of you have tried chameleon launcher or any other app that may be able to access Google+?
I just installed Chameleon launcher on my phone and set up the Google+ widget that Chameleon has built in and when I granted it access is when my Google+ app stopped working. I had to uninstall it reinstall and set up the widget again and then deny access to get it working again. I know it's a long shot but it just may help.

Solution
I've had the same problem - I hope my solution might help some of you:
In my case the problem was AdAway (especially the "hostsx_googlecode_com/svn/trunk/hosts"-source) after deleting this source and refreshing AdAway the problem was gone...
I had this problem recently while trying to install Android 4.3 on my Int'l Galaxy Nexus (maguro). What I did to fix it was log on to Google Dashboard from my computer and click on Security. While under Security, I scrolled down to Connected Sites and clicked on Review Permissions. At the next screen, revoke the permissions of all apps at the top of the list that pertain to Android (or at least the ones granted permissions since you broke whatever you did). Once you've done this, you should be able to login to Google+ (or Hangouts if that's where your trouble lies) without any trouble. I've messed this up twice in the last day or so and this fix has got me back on track both times.

Wipe data of the app and then open it again. I had the same issue and that fixed it right away.

Try force stopping the Google Play Services and clearing the data.

its grayed out. the only thing i could do is clear cache
One solution for stock Nexus 7
I know this is an old thread but want to share a possible solution to help others Googling for help like I was.
I'm on Nexus 7 2013 with multiple users (AKA profiles). I had the same error "Can't connect to server" with Google+. Hangouts and Gmail apps logged in fine. Other user was fine using Google+ the whole time.
What worked for me:
* Open Photos app.
* Click OK on auto-backup.
* Open Google+ app. Select account to sign in with (if you have more than 1 Google accounts like me)
Really, I don't know why auto-backup was ever turned off, maybe an update to the Photos app. My guess is the Photos app was locking access to Google+ while waiting for me to choose yes or no on the auto-backup.
What didn't work:
* Unchecking, rechecking Sync with Google+.
* Restarting.
* Clearing Google+ app cache and data.
Tech details of Nexus 7:
* Stock Android 4.4.3.
* Build KTU84L.
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
