I'm having a problem with the new Gmail app in Froyo and wanted to see if anyone else was having it too.
When I do a search in Gmail, I can pull up the search results for all the old emails that match my search. But, when I try to open one of the emails that is older than the "Number of Days to Sync" I set up in /Gmail/Settings/Labels/, it will never load. It acts like its loading the email but it will continue for hours, if I let it. Also, on occasion when I search the "Loading Search Results" will cycle over and over and not load the results.
So say I have the app Settings set at Sync 3 days for Inbox, and if today I were to search for "xda". I would get the search results. One of the emails in the search result was dated February 15. I try to open it and that's when the nothingness happens.
Anyone seeing this? I tried Wiping the Cache/wiping Dalvik/fix mismatches from Recovery. Also tried pushing new versions of the Gmail apk and odex to /system/app, with no luck. Hoping to avoid a wipe and re-install but that's next on the list if its just me.
Thanks,

If you have any spaces, dashes, or an apostrophes (like I do) it looks as though it causes a problem with com.htc.bgp. When I had an apostrophe in my last name on Facebook no matter what I tried I could not sync using the People app. This morning I tried taking the apostrophe out on Facebook, deleting the account from my phone, deleting HTC Sense and Android Facebook permissions in the account settings under applications on the Facebook website then re-adding my Facebook account on my Hero under Accounts & Sync. It loaded my Facebook account without the apostrophe. I then opened the people app and attempted to link a contact and to my surprise I seen my Facebook contacts loading up instead of "no matches"! It has been months since I could use the people app to sync with Facebook and I have tried all the brute methods and just turning down your memory killer! Give it a try if you have any characters that aren't letters in your first or last name on Facebook.
I am running Damage Control 2.09.1 overclocked with 2.6.36 darkshizz kernel. If overclocked you must turn the settings back to stock (dconfig, setcpu, all memory killers, etc).
*Edit* I just put the apostrophe back in my name on Facebook and synced again. It kept my name without the apostrophe and still allowed me to sync new contacts!
I want to know how to only sync the contacts I have and not import all my friends from facebook, like how 1.5 used to be. I hate having a ton of extra contacts I never call in my dialer!
Use the stock/non htc facebook app. it does this exactly.
Good to know, thanks for posting.
Mods, should this be moved to the Themes and Apps forum?
For some reason when i click on facebook in accounts and sync nothing happens. Is this linked to the actual facebook app you download from the market?....I want to try to reinstall it. Cleared my facebook cache...still nothing.
Running fresh rom.

I had this happen when I switched to DarchDroid 2.7. I solved the issue by searching the market for facebook, and it told me I needed to upgrade. I had the typical notification show me other apps that needed upgraded but had no mention of Facebook. After I upgraded it, I was able to sync in the accounts area just fine. Hope that helps.
THANK YOU!!!
You are a god among men. I've been searching for a fix for this for MONTHS, and nobody's had an answer. Thank you so much!!! +9,001 Internets for you.
I have tried and tried to update my APP and no luck. I can only open it. any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't really know but when I went to the downloads part of my market it didn't say that Facebook needed to update, but after further investigation I realized that it wasn't in the download list at all. So I searched the market for it and when it found it, it told me that it had an update available. So if you have already tried that and it won't work, then I would say you should try removing the old Facebook app altogether and then just get the new one from the market.
So the fix for the extra Facebook synced contacts in the dailer is to use the Facebook App instead of the HTCFacebook ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it by uninstalling Facebook for Android and in settings>accounts & syncs, I removed Facebook account. I then re-downloaded Facebook for Android and in accounts & sync, I added Facebook for HTC NOT Facebook for Android.
you cant use the regular facebook app if you have sense.........
For some reason, my default G-mail account won't let me download any apps on any rom I try. On my Glacier, I've tried Virtuous Fusion, Royal Glacier, CM 7 and Royal Panache, none of them will let my Gmail account download anything, I get "Download was unsuccessful, please try again". If I log in with a different Gmail account, I can download anything, no problems at all. I've done full wipes and formats between every rom and unchecked the "backup my settings" option every time. I'm getting the same error on my G-Tablet as well, when two days ago I had no issues at all with it running CM7. Any idea why my Gmail account might be having issues?
Just did a search, which I should have started with, and see that this isn't the first time someone has had this issue, but so far no one has figured out what exactly is causing it. I'm having the issue on two different android devices, and I'm pretty sure I'll have the same on my Nexus One, so I'm positive it isn't an issue with my device. It has to be a market issue.
Have you tried installing from market.android.com?
ok i did a few searches and didnt see anything like this answered.
i have a market issue with infused 1.6
its more of an android issue i feel, than the phone.
i have 2 gmail accts linked to my phone, my main one and the one from work, so i can check email.
my problem. market is linking to my work gmail. it shows none of the apps i have purchased on my main acct. only the ones on my work gmail. if i delete the work gmail, it works fine.
how do i tell market which gmail acct to link too? i have searched for hours in the settings and cannot resolve this issue.
my only fix atm is too remove the work gmail and add it when i check mail.
this issue did not start unitil a. i updated 1.5 to 1.6 of infused, or b. the market did an update after i updated to 1.6
any help would be appretiated

Use menu key, select "accounts", and select the needed account.
did they just add that? i swear i looked and didnt see it. but this was about 2 weeks ago. i had just given up then. the menu button only had my apps settings and more. maybe i just over looked it. funny cause thats the first place i think i looked.
thanks for the fast answer
Dave
not sure where to put this... please don't yell at me if this is the wrong place..
the gapps doesn't contain gmail anymore because "it is installable from market". fair enough.
except it isn't. there was a trademark dispute here in germany between google and some jerk over "G-Mail" a while back (gmail had to be called googlemail for years). maybe it's because of this but the gmail app doesn't show up when i search for it with the phone.
via the website i get "not available in your country". i tried all sorts of vpn and proxy hacks with wiped cache and dalvik already but google seems to know the original location of the phone...
i use a gmail apk i found floating around the web but this leaves me with the feeling that my email gets rerouted through china as well furthermore it is not possible to update it via playstore. and (reason for this post) it has synching issues lately. sometimes the mail arrives a second after it got sent, sometimes hours later, sometimes not at all, so i have to check manually which is annoying. so...
is there a way to install gmail as it is meant to be?
Gmail app missing CM7/CM9
I had the same issue. from my tablet (germany) the play store did not show any results for gmail or gmail.apk etc. This is due to the issues you outlined.
However, when i went to the market from PC, it found gmail.apk and i could install to another device direct from there. Now it all works fine again.
there is also the issue at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072076
hi
it has been a while now, my Google Account is screwing up the sync to my Samsung Sgs2 every 2 weeks or so, I used to remove and put back the Google account and that fixed it. now that doesn't work anymore.
unless I click on "sync" is not doing anything so basically not "pushing" emails anymore....
is there something that could fix it? ive reinstalled gmail, etc etc. nothing helped... I am assuming I should reinstall the OS?
many thanks
gabrio
Hi,
Before reinstalling the OS itself, and even if clearing google framework data is not really recommended, you can apply this workaround:
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).

as usual, XDA delivers, I have done the steps you mentioned and my Sync is up and running again. Let's see if it holds from now on.
Thanks so much
hi
something bad must have happened last night / this morning. I had again the sync problem, gmail not download any email or sending anything out from my mobile.
I did again
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).
But this time when you open Google Play it's saying "check your connection and try again", grey screen, nothing happening, I tried empty cache as well. I can swipe from the left side and I see my email there with "redeem, settings and help & feedback" but nothing loads. I updated manually to very latest GPS apk.
opened Gmail and it's still syncing, nothing happens.
any ideas? seriously upset that they keep changing things!
thanks
after some fiddling around, I have removed gmail, reinstalled (I like an old version), nada, so then I went and removed the Google Account as I thought, well why not? that did the trick, Gmail started working again and after a bit of clicks I got the Google Play working again. Now calendar sync is screwing up a bit lol.....never working at once!
Earlier I did try to delete the hosts file in ETC as someone suggested but that didn't help.
thought to add my 2 cents.
