very annoying. there is a mail in my GMAIL outbox for two days. not able to send out. It happened once before.
Can anyone help?
ROM: CM9 04-15 nightly
GAPPS: 2012-03-17 (I tried flashing the GAPPS once again. but no luck)
Delete the stuck email. Then log in on a computer and make sure you don't have any stuck emails. Then delete Gmail data/cache under manage apps and give it time to sync back up.

Had this issue before, cache wipe is not enough, you need to wipe gmail app's data

I've always been able to restore my corporate gmail account using TiBu by restoring the Accounts system data when going from Froyo to GB, or GB to ICS. However, for some reason, when I restore to JellyBean it does not work. TiBu doesn't report an error, but the account isn't there after the restore. I'm sure it's a compatibility issue of some kind, but does anyone out there know how to do this?
Thanks!!
[EDIT] Turns out TitaniumBackup kept restoring my accounts.db file to data\system, which is probably where every Android OS has kept it pre-JellyBean. I did some searching through this folder and found another accounts.db file in data\system\users\0 folder. This .db file had only my personal gmail account listed in it, so I knew that this is the one the phone was using because the TiBu backup one I restored would have had my work gmail account also in it, which wasn't showing up on the phone at all. I renamed the active one in data\system\users\0 to accounts.db.old, and then coppied the one that TiBu restored to data\system to data\system\users\0 folder. Rebooted and I had my work gmail account restored!! If anyone's wondering why I had to restore the work gmail account, it's because the password is encrypted and I don't know it. So, when switching ROMs, I would always have to restore the "Accounts" data from TiBu to regain access to this account.
Did you go to menu settings, account & sync and try adding the Gmail account?

Yes. The problem is, it's an account through my employer and I don't know the password. So, the credentials are stored in the "Accounts" system data backup in Titanium Backup. In all ROMs previous to JB, I could just restore that system data file and get the account back password auto-entered and all. Thanks for the reply, though.

Not trying to be wise but is this your phone or a corporate phone? If your phone, ask for the password you have that right, if a corporate phone, ask for forgiveness for playing around with different ROMs. I would never let work put on a corporate account on my phone...because it gives them the right to view your phone if issues at work ever occur. I handle the cell phones at my work and that is our policy.
But having said that and now getting off the soapbox, if you need the corporate gmail that bad, I would go back to ICS until you can research it more. With any luck it might only require an update on Titanium.

I don't think tb will properly restore depending on version of jb since some of them code differently and since most are formatted mtd instead of yaffs which is standard.
Blah blah ... what I am saying is reset up by hand ... or go back to ICS. Unless u can extract the back up on a PC an send u any information you need

I have the same problem but Tibu doesn't make any accounts.db in /data/system. Also the one in /0 is 0.00b
hey all,
having a strange problem for the past month or so (on both slimbean and beanstalk; several builds of both). my gmail client and contacts sync fine when the ROM is first installed. but after the first reboot gmail no longer syncs (i dont get notified of new emails etc.) i have tried resetting permissions in CWM, that does not help. if i go into the sync settings, under google it always says something like, "sync is not available at the moment". anyone else have this problem? i'm on Rogers fwiw
Same issue here running beanstalk. Open my mail and it says "waiting for sync". I have 2 gmails setup...so to workaround I switch to the other gmail acct then back and then it syncs.

here is what i might try:
1. in Settings. Apps. google frameworks: wipe cache, wipe data, force stop. gmail: same..wipe. calendar: wipe ...etc
or
2. in cwm: factory reset. wipe cache; adv: wipe dalvik. mount: wipe system, data, cache. reflash rom and gapps. do not restore after boot up. download new apps
I have tried these options and while they work, the fix is temporary and the problem returns. I am on the 4/17 build of slimbean now, with a full wipe and so far no problems. Will report back in a while.

ok, so the problem has returned and i think i have found what is causing it. after a clean ROM install, gmail syncs fine until i open up the stock browser for the first time (the one with the blue globe). after the browser signs into my google account, gmail no longer syncs or retrieves emails unless i press the refresh button in the program (this only makes gmail display new emails though, doesn't fully sync). at this point, if i go under google account settings, it says sync is off for my google account and there is an exclamation mark next to "Browser". If i try to sync the browser i get "Sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly".
Any ideas? thinking I will just erase google account data, re add my account then ditch this browser and use chrome (without opening stock browser) until i can figure this problem out.
Tried doing some searching on this and other devices with PA but to no avail. I open up the dialer and a few seconds later get a message "unfortunately, contacts have closed" then fc on me. Yet, I can open up the "People" or contacts app no problem. It won't let me use the dialer which is super annoying.
Wiped, fact reset, clear cache/dalvic. Good DL of the zip(md5), followed directions exact with gapps.
Tried fixing permissions, nothing. Tried reinstalling the PA zip over top in case of corrupted system files, same problem. Tried reinstalling gapps zip over top, same problem.
Do I need to re download wipe and install or am I missing something?

Most of what I read for other devices said to wipe and re-flash. I was unconvinced that this was the only option.
Some articles said it was a problem with Google syncing with contacts. So I...
Disabled Contact sync
Settings>Apps>All...
Contacts>Clear Data
Contacts Storage>Clear Data
Reboot into Recovery
Wipe Cache
Reboot
Enable Contact sync
All is working, just had to update my owner info, but I'm finally issue free.

Thanks so much! you definitely helped me with this problem on my Galaxy S3 I93000 ! :good:
I've seen this posted a few times. Tried the removing of fb, deleting data of contacts, contacts storage. Install my ROM clean.
For me it starts immediately after a restore from titanium. The restore is an app only restore, no data - and I don't restore fb or fb messenger. And I am not installing fb or fb messenger and the error keeps occurring. Also I am NOT restoring any system apps or data. Just user apps.
So my question is - is there ANY way to find out which of my restored user apps is causing the error message?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have more than 300 user apps and really don't want tontest 1 by 1.

I've tried that. Tried all the steps. EVERY time I end up having to reflash ROM, and it can be stable for 1-2 days - then itnreturns, and back at square one. And the clearing of cache just does not solve the problem. I am at a complete loss and getting extremely frustrated.
