Anyone else having this issue where the Gmail and mail Widgets just don't update. For gmail I end up scrolling a bit and then it refreshes. For the mail one it sometimes updates and sometimes doesn't. Is there something I'm missing or is this just a bug?
I get the same thing, so it's not just you.
Yup... Same here.

Thought it was just me.
My phone gives me a notification for a new Gmail, but the XOOM doesn't update. I have to actually go into the Gmail app and hit refresh for it to sync.

Notifications themselves are instant and as fast if not faster than my phone BUT the widget doesn't update properly. Sometimes it shows a new email but if I read it it won't show read. It's almost like it refreshes on certain events but not on time based or something odd.
It makes the widget pretty useless since I just use the notification. Hope they fix it soon
Anybody else getting this issue still? I'm trying to figure out if it's a combination of widgets that's causing the problem.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I found that sometimes scrolling helps but that might have been coincidental. Wish I could tell you more.

Yeah scrolling works every time - when you scroll down it refreshes the GMail app but not the Mail one. That one you have to tap the filters to refresh. I really hope they fix this **** soon - it's annoying for something that's out of the box.
Hey anybody who's reading this
I own a galaxy nexus and am experiencing the exact same issues you're describing.. any luck finding a solution??
You might want to reflash GApps. I had the same issue about a month ago and reflashed and it worked.

Well let start with are you rooted with custom rom. If you are after flashing the rom you flash GApps (Google app) sometimes you have to reflash again and it fixes the issue.

Ok thanks, ill give it a shot
And yeah im rooted, but with stock Rom, so I don't think this is the issue..
Also if rooted there is a GApps fixer

Gmail is borked. I can open it but it just flickers. I search the forum but I didn't find anything. I reinstalled it, reflashed gapps, rebooted, and fix permissions but it still won't work. I'm able to receive emails but can't open them or anything. Any ideas for a fix?

My entire Google account has been acting strange lately. Sync has been a little messed up and I can't download from the market. No relevant changes have been made since it last seemed fine two days ago. Did you start noticing problems around then too? I'm not on the same rom as you which leads me to believe it's a Google thing. Dunno though...is your market working?

I'm not too sure exactly when it started because I noticed that my Gmail sync was off. Weird , I never turned it off. I checked it on and received emails. I went to view them and noticed the app behaving weird. I didn't do anything our of the ordinary just use the phone. I'm able to download apps so I'm not sure if it's Google. So yes market works.

I never had any luck with the gmail app I have always just used the stock email app... dame deal though huge delays, unable to receive mail even after manual refreshes, ect... the black background mod that comes with it makes it look good too if your like me and into the minimal look
Pin it to Win it.
Yeah I like it pretty dark and simple!
I noticed that it's not Gmail... When I hit the airplane mode to disable all antenna's and re-enable it again, it's fine until I reboot my phone. Then I have to do this again if I want to get my email notifications back. The Gmail apps seems to work fine so far for me... But I will try the dark theme for it!
I have EagleBlood AOSP 4.0.4...
My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.

For the voodoo sound bit go to settings, then applications, manage applications, find the voodoo app and click it clear data and then uninstall the voodoo sound app. Reboot the phone and reinstall from the play store.

You have to go in settings under tweaks and set the custom app to messenger. It will stop soft booting then.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.
Sent from my toaster.
Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.
Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.
OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

What do you mean by cutting out? Is it just refreshing the screen when you come back to it? I think that is something browsers dependant.

Ok, I have had 3 HTC smart phones and never had this happen to me either until a few days ago. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking for something other than stock browsers are "pron" to this or "That's odd. Stock browser never did that to me" The 2 previous phones I rooted, ran different roms, flashed radios and kernels' so give me a break and give me something useful. This one is not rooted 2.2 version and un-rootable at this point. The only reason I'm hesitant at a factory reset is having to set everything and re download all the apps I have. Sure wish this was rooted, I would have Titanium Back Up and not have to worry about re downloading all these darn apps.
Didn't mean for my comment to sound sarcastic. I was trying to experess that I didn't know the solution to your problem.

Similar Issue
I'm having a similar problem and really hope someone can help out. About a week ago my stock browser and ICS Browser + both started force closing on me at an alarming rate. I tried replicating the issue and found out that's its tied to javascript. The webpages that give me issue load just fine if I disable javascript but I don't see why I should have to when I've never had to before. In fact the sites that are causing crashes used to work fine until very recently. I'm on CleanRom V, but I've verified the issue with CleanRom 4.5 Final and AOKP Jellybean build 1.4. I've been using Dolphin Browser to get around the issue but I don't want to have to use it. Forgot to mention that I've also cleared my browser's data several times to no effect.

from what i've gathered from the material theme the beta has expired and in order to use it you have to change the date on your phone to a past date for it to work

The update broke the ability to flash zips now. He is aware of the issue, it has something to do with a MD5 check he added to the update and 64 bit systems.

The so called fix itself isn't a flash. I'm assuming he wanted to do a fresh install.
