Google mail upgrade - Captivate General

Seems the newest version if Gmail blocks third party apps from being used with it. Meaning, I use email notifier app with my gmail, and now it force closes. Anyone have an older version of gmail available?

my launcherpro gmail widget stopped working too after the upgrade

Just uninstall the update, then use tibu to remove market link.

Not sure what you mean. Use tibu to remove market link? My only bu of gmail is the current version, since I recently did a tibu bu. Hoping to find an older version somewhere

If anyone needs this, it's an older version of gmail that doesn't force close third party apps. Thanks to Sword of a thousand truths for finding this.

Did and Did more then one time non of these helped.
try one of the UN official fbook apps.
I am with Trusselo on this - try one of the unofficial apps. I like FB Black personally, but there are a few out there. Also when I have an issue with it not connecting it is usually because I have changed how I am connected since I first open the app. For example we have six wifi points at my work and if I am walking around the building and go off one onto another then it seems to confuse the app. Turning the wifi off and back on again on the phone and restarting the app is the most I have to do to fix it.
Uninstall fb app. Go to accounts and add fb as a account. After that install the official fb app.

If i do this will facebook add all my friends to my contacts and what not? I don't want everyone on facebook in my phone. Thanks again for the help. Guess i can try and see what happens lol.
Have you tried using the official Facebook app again since when you were having those problems? I have was having that same problem a few days ago too and it went away last night when I gave it a shot again...
I was also having an issue with the official FB app so I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone, re-installed it and now it's working great.

[Q] "Updates available" notification. But there is nothing to update

Since I flashed 2.3.7 and restored my apps with titanium backup, i have been getting a notification from Android Market on my phone saying that I have updates for 3 apps. But when I open android market there is nothing to update. Everything is up to date, and 1 app is "not installed". Is there a solution to this?
Thanks
I too have this issue. And I am on a non rooted phone.

Have you tried clearing the market cache?
i had this problem before, clearing cache won't work. What i noticed was the i have 3 gmail accounts and for some reason my google market would default to one of my other various accounts. Do menu then accounts, and make sure that its on the right google account you normally download apps on.

I only have one account and still have the issue. I think its a bug with the market app.

Check under the "not installed" section one at a time. Once you tap the app, it will either say update or uninstall
Sometimes the updates hide in there
How do you clear the market cache? I will try that.

Do you have two gmails accounts on the phone? I get that too its usually the market switching the accounts
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
mine has switched to one of my other gmail accounts a few times now out of nowhere. Maybe it's doing it when the market app silently updates.

That's what is was for me. Although I had YouTube installed, it was also in the "my apps " section in the market under not installed. I decided to hit youTube, and lo and behold, update.
Definitely a BUG in the Market. Happens to me too.

It doesn't say what apps need updating. Also there are no apps listed under "Not installed"

Ok try this market. The problem u speak of seems to have been squashed in this version

in this case, email is for gmail right? won't you have problems with market?
Those are just stock apps.....
They should not slow down the phone that much.....
You can always remove those apps using Root Explorer app....
Or you can disable them from starting at start up using a third party app....
I use "Android Assistant".....
No email and Gmail are seperate.I use titanium backup to uninstall all this bloatware

Apps force closing

So just got my tablet last night and love it. But alot of my apps (xda, facebook, setcpu) are force closing. All be it they were linked to my google account from my phone. Should I uninstall them and reinstall?
Sent from my Photon via XDA
You can try to delete that apps' data.
Settings->Applications, select one of them, click on Delete data.
In this way that specific app will restore its initial state as like just installed.
I'll give that a shot

Removing an account

[Q] My wife and I have both our google accounts on her XOOM. Now that I have my own Fire, if I remove my account off her XOOM will she lose all the apps that were downloaded under my account?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
Most likely, yes. The apps bought/downloaded into your account are linked to it.
That's what I was thinking. What about backing up the apps and data with Titanium Backup, remove my account, then restore apps and data?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
You should beable to just remove the account. If that doesn't work, tb should do the trick (although it may be considered Warez at that point).

I'm not certain, but the apps could stay there, but not be updatable via market.
I have apps not purchased via market, and all that I get when I try to manually update (need to find first, doesn't show up under 'my apps') is "not purchased".
I tested this out on my Fire by adding her account and then downloading a game. When I removed her account, the app and progress I made stayed but it did not show under my apps in the market. Guess we'll just have to manually search for the app if we want to see if there are any updates.
