Hello all,
I apologize if I'm posting a "duh" question, I'm a newbie to Android (I defected from an iPhone 3GS -- and loving it!). I've searched by any terms I can think of and I can't seem to come across a post about this.
When I want to share a photo, so far I've gone into the gallery, looked at the photo, hit the share button, by Gmail, and a new message pops up. I address it, put in a subject, yada yada, and press send. It says "Sending Message..." or whatever it says to indicate the message should be on its way, but it sits in the outbox. It has a red "Sending" in the listing with it, but it just sits there. Over 3G or Wifi, it doesn't appear to send.
I can go back into Gallery, and share it to any other apps, namely Twitter or Picasa, and it uploads in a few seconds, but the gmail message just sits there.
Am I sharing pics wrong, and I doing something else wrong? Any help/info/advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
Yesterday I saw the same thing in my phone.
I went to gallery, selected 3 pictures, sent them through gmail. The phone just said "sending..." and the email just sat in the outbox for a couple of hours.
I then deleted that first email from the outbox and tried again with just one picture. Nothing... same result.
I rebooted my phone and the "sync" icon appeared on the top bar. This made the phone to send the email.
The weird thing is that both emails were sent. the second one, and the deleted one.

I recently just upgraded from CM 5.0.8 to CM6 RC1 on my G1. I had to wipe and reflash because I noticed my Google apps were missing and I tried to flash the gapps zip and I got stuck on the Touch Android to Continue screen. So I reflashed CM6 and the Google apps after starting over from scratch with a fresh wipe, but now my email app doesn't work! It worked one time, it let me configure my Yahoo account and I got to my inbox, and then I closed it. I try to go back again and I get the FC message every time now! I've tried clearing the application data, rebooting, removing battery and rebooting, etc, nothing works. Any help with this?
Also, thanks to the new 2.2 system on CM6, there's an annoying grey square next to messages that I've sent in Messaging that's supposed to be my profile picture? I don't use gmail often, so I don't have a profile pic on it, so it's pretty pointless to me. I've googled this, and everyone says to set my phone number in the SIM using an old phone, but I don't just have old phones laying around like that. >_> Also they said after that you sync it to your gmail again or create a "Me" contact in your phone or something and you can setup your picture from there. I think the whole contact photo thing is annoying in general, so isn't there a way to just plain get rid of the grey square or disable contact photos in Messaging altogether?
I'm not sure if this is the right section for this since I didn't exactly see any "Android Hacking Help" forums or anything, but if anyone can help, I appreciate it! Thanks!
Can't anyone help? I solved my messaging problem by just switching to Handcent SMS, but the email problem still persists.
Woke up today, went to my call history and noticed that it didn't list any names. Instead it had everyones phone number. When I clicked a number to dial, it showed their name. So I reset the phone, numbers still showed. I cleared the list, and dialed a new person. Everything back to normal.
Then, when trying to call someone later on today, I noticed something else. All the links that I had made (Live + Facebook contact) were unlinked.
Anyone have a clue why this happened, or has anyone else experienced it? I hate having to relink everyone again.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that had this happen
Went thru the same process of rebooting & pulled the battery
The call history just mysteriously lost all association to the names?
New calls are showing up ok
I'm guessing that some AT&T system reset is the culprit

I've noticed that very occasionally those contacts whose name doesn't exactly match their Facebook accounts become unlinked and I have to re-link them. I have no idea why that happens and have never been able to attribute a cause.
Although not the same, I am having a problem with my contact pics on the People tile on the homescreen. It looks as though all the pics I added myself are showing up as blue squares , Facebook pics are showing up ok. When I go into my contact list all pics show up correctly.
This happened to me too once, I figured it was just a bug... That and the call history being delayed at times... Calls won't show up for a few minutes randomly... Had only happened about two or three times.
I had the same problem last night, too.
I guess that it is the problem came from Hotmail server. It was corrupt when syncing and then all my contacts were reset and sync again. It made Live contacts and linked-facebook contacts unlink...
Cmon MS, hotmail must be stable like rock or user will have this problem again
HAd same Problem
Just about a hour ago all my contacts unlinked and i als lost all my home screen contacts they just vannished from my home screen.
Did not encounter this issue but I do agree MS should improve the live mail service...
At least make contact editing as good as gmail...
i also encountered this waking up this morning.
Are any of you guys using Micro-SD cards? That could possibly be the cause of the problem
i am on a trophy, so yes, it's built into the phone with a micro SD. given the amount of people who all experienced this at about the same time, i would say it would be something to do with the server.

I have the phone over a month and not having this problem so far until yesterday... So I dont think it is the SD Card problem...
/I have a HD7
About 2 minutes after my first post I noticed that this exact problem had happened to me (my gf had called, and in the call history it simply listed her number and not her name). I remembered that last night while configuring my email settings, under my windows live account it said "not synced" or something like that. Naturally, I did a long press and hit "sync." When it synced, it must have for some reason set everything back to default. This was probably the cause of my problem; I agree it must be some sort of Hotmail/Windows Live sync issue.
Happened to me too, 4x already. My Samsung Focus Windows Live contact becomes unlinked with my previously linked facebook contacts everytime i will sync in hotmail tile. I am annoyed as I have to linked my facebook contact with windows live contacts everytime. Do you have any idea why is this so?
Could someone send this feedback to MS?... Cause my English is not good enough...
I'm on the Omnia 7, bought it especially not to have microSD problems. And seeing how it all happened in this past day, it's gotta be a Windows Live problem. Unless we all installed the same person
It's kinda freaky, Microsoft being in total control, they could just brick all our phones overnight while we sleep.
Throw my hat in the ring too...all contacts in calls list appear as phone number and all contacts/facebook links unlinked. Not too big of a deal but kinda weird.
Happened to me too over the weekend. HD7 with original SD card. Lost my contact tiles from my start screen, lost all links between contacts and facebook friends where the names weren't the same.
If this happens again I'm going to change all my contact names to match the facebook names so they match themselves up, because doing it manually is a pain.

I had exactly the same problem for the first time yesterday. Weird.
Add me to the list. Also emails I deleted on my Hotmail inbox are still showing up on the phone.
Has anyone noticed that what they do within the Gmail app on the Xoom isn't syncing with your desktop machine?
In other words - when I read or delete or change labels on an email in the Gmail app, I don't see the changes reflected if I go to my Gmail on my laptop. (They are still sitting in my inbox, unread).
Go into settings/applications /manage applications/all applications. Open Gmail and "clear cache ", them "clear data "
Ignore the warnings. Back to home page and open Gmail. You should be good to go.
That worked!
Thanks!
Sync hangs
I'm not sure if this is the exact same problem but I tried to send some large attachments recently and the sync seemed to hang all night. It would not send the email I originally was going to send plus three other I did afterwards before I noticed the issue. I was more concerned with sending these emails then checking to see if the sync error was affecting the receive mail process. Rebooting did not help so I ended up deleting the account and adding it back again. It took a while to do the normal initial syn but it seemed to clear the problem.
A week later I had the same issue although this time I noticed right away (instead of the next morning like before). I did a search and found someone advising to go into the Androids Setting then manage apps and then Gmail. To hit clear data and click
ck OK to the warning that tells you that all data, including any mail, will be deleted. I was not worried about the outgoing mail I was trying to send as I could easily redo it. This did work Ase I went into Gmail and it had to sync up withe servers but everything was back. The weird thing is that my message was sent and no longer under Outbox marked as "being sent". So either it sent it this time but was not showing this or it sent it real quick before I cleared data.
Either way it's fixed for now but who knows if it will happen again soon.We shall see.
I noticed the problem this morning during my commute. I thought Google was having issues with Gmail. I switched to my work e-mail (Exchange) and when I hit send, the item sits in drafts and goes nowhere.
If I create an e-mail with the Gmail app, I hit send and it becomes faded as if pressed or now unavailable and just sits there. Keboard still there and cursor just blinking waiting for another e-mail address.
With Exchange e-mail, I hit send and a few seconds later I get the pop-up saying the message was saved in Drafts.
Odd that both Gmail and Exchange e-mail are not sending. Everything else seems ok. Reading e-mail, web surfing, etc.
I tried clearing Gmail data with no success. I'll wipe my Exchange e-mail next and see if that does it anything.
I also power cycled it for good measure too.
Any ideas? I'm running the stuck ROM, but rooted using Universal Root 4.

Please disregard.
I launched Uninstaller to see if I had installed anything and hadn't thought about it. Turns out an app called "Seal" which was Amazon's free app of the day (yesterday I believe) was preventing e-mail from being sent.
Even when disabled. I uninstalled it and e-mail functionality returned to normal. Really disappointed in the Seal app, though.
Seal App Locker issue with Gmail
I have had the same issue with this one as well. Uninstall Seal, and Gmail behaves. It's a pity too. Seal looked to be a good app.

It really is a pity. I hope the dev figures it out in the end.
But for now, Seal had to go.
My email seems to be working fine. I can send and receive email and view the contents of my various folders. But, it seems like every time it syncs (e. g. Every time I send an email), it displays an error message saying it had a connection error. As shown in the attached screen shot.
I went into Settings / Accounts. I only have one email account and it's an Exchange Activesync account. It is set to sync mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks. I toggled the sync for each one off and then back on. After I turned each one back on, that thing would sync and then display this same error.
Any idea what's going on?
I have had this problem also, but only when I was losing a weak wifi signal, or I was VPN'd to my work network. Either of those scenario's playing out with you?

Idon't think so. Settings shows WiFi signal as Strong. And I'm not VPNed.
This happened to me today too. The same connection error, but with g-mail. I had to clear the cache and data of the stock e-mail app. Then, when I restarted the e- mail app, l had to re-enter my account info. Worked fine after that.

I've gotten that pop-up randomly from day one on my Exchange account. It's never impacted what the e-mail client's actually doing. I've even gotten it while I'm watching a ton of e-mails download properly like when re-connecting after a plane flight. So I'm treating it as a false alarm until proven otherwise. Hopefully an update makes it go away.

My connection error was constant but I was only getting it from the stock e-mail app. I could reproduce it consistently by touching the refresh icon. But, when I opened the g-mail app, it could access everything fine. The error wouldn't stop until I reset everything and re-entered all the account info.
Stock email has problems with exchange server. Mine was having problems with office 365. it happens to all sgs ii, iii and note 10.1 ics versions. You have to clear contacts auto complete list. After that it was working ok with emails but Splaner is still not syncing well, only one way from server to device.
To empty auto complete list, go to file, option, email, email sending, empty auto complete...in office 2010.

I had a problem with my email the other day and ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalling all my apps, etc.. I didn't have this error before that happened.
I will try clearing the app's cache, etc. and re-setting up my email.
Thanks, guys.
ps. my problem the other day was that I could not compose a new email message (including replying to a received message). That turned out to be because I had turned on Force 2D GPU rendering in Settings/Developer Options. I wish I had figured that out before doing the factory reset... *sigh* Just FYI.
Thanks again for the help. I deleted the account, Cleared data and cache, rebooted, re-created the account, and now all seems well.

I have this error as well. It does not seem to impact emails, but I have problems with S-Planner not displaying events. I can sync events with S-Planner both ways, but some events just won't display in S-Planner. I have not yet found a common cause or a way to reproduce a non-syncing event.
[edit]
Ok, I went ahead and deleted the account and added it back again. For now, it syncs alright, let's see how it goes.
I think what I did different this time was to create an Active Sync Account from the start, whereas the first time around I selected "Email" and then Active Sync at the prompt when you go into manual setup. Could this make the difference, how exactly did you guys set up your accounts?
Now I only have one other problem: when I first added the account, the Exchange events in S-Planner were a nice green, but this time they are kind of a pastel shade pink, which I don't like at all. Can you change the color anywhere?
