[Q] [HELP] GMail is freaking me out - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a huge problem with gmail - running current nightlies of Cyanogenmod 11 and the latest version of Gmail:
Gmail is not respecting any notification settings whatsoever. I have disabled every single vibration/sound notification in Gmail, have disabled "vibrate for every notification" in CM settings - but Gmail doesn't care: Every notification I get from Gmail not only rings a sound but the phone is also vibrating which is incredibly annoying. I have triple checked my settings, deleted app data, reinstalled gmail completely - nope, it's still vibrating. There is no other app with this problem - it is only gmail that vibrates like there is no tomorrow.
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

Try a clean flash

Yeah, I suspected as much - hoped that anyone got this problem and knew a fix without doing a wipe. I'll let you know how it works out.
Edit: Jup, that did the trick. Thanks again

No Gmail Notifications after 3.1 update(3g Xoom)

Ever since the 3.1 update my Gmail notifications have stopped working. Yes the Notifications are turned on under the Quick settings. I have the proper notification sound. Just cant figure out why it has stopped working. Anyone else know/had this happen?
Go into settings, manage apps. Find the Gmail app, and open it. Click on clear cache and clear data. Ignore the warnings. Restart Gmail and you should be good to go. This often happens after loading a new ROM or kernel.

CM 7.1 ROMs notification vibration

Hi
This week I tried several CM 7.1 ROMs with a factory reset on every install.
I always had the same problem: when I set the phone to 'vibrate always' and when I mute it (so that it would only vibrate) it doesn't vibrate. It vibrates when someone calls me but other notifications don't work. I tried with SMS, Gmail, twitter ...
And yes, I set the SMS and the Gmail to 'always vibrate'.
I don't have this problem on stock and on MIUI.
Am I the only one with this issue? How to fix this?

EDIT: I found the problem. When I let the setup wizard restore my settings, the vibration doesn't work. When I set up my Google account later, everything works fine. WTF.

[Q] Gmail problem with Cataclsm rom

Hi to everyone!
This is my first post and so i can't put it into the rom's thread, so i hope that i've placed my question in the right place...
I have an issue using gmail app on cataclysm rom, the automatic sync don't function. I receive mails in the morning, immediatly when i start my phone, but in the rest of the day no notification. But if i open gmail app, and refresh it, mail were downloaded.
All the setting are good, auto sync, data, i've read some instruction on the web and this is not my first experience with android.
I've tried to install another rom (cyanogenmod 11) and the problem disappears.
Thanks for the answers. And sorry for my rusted english
Try signing out of Google and sign back in.
Also check your download of cataclysm.

I'm also on Cataclysm [Dec 12, 2013 Release] and have no issues...
(hmm read your issue again and restarted my phone, unlocked the screen once, didn't open gmail, turned off the screen. Then sent an email from a different account. i don't get an audible notification or a pulse light, however if I turn the screen on I see the notification icon and the email is there once I unlock the screen and open gmail for the first time. i think that because I'm using chrome, gmail is getting a signal that I'm on the laptop and thus suppressing the notices on my phone (light/noise) as i don't need my phone to notify me of new email if I'm looking/using chrome where I'm logged in and just got an on screen notification)
The good thing about 4.4 is you can logout of all accounts with out factory reset, so do that, then reboot and log in again.
Else it is probably best to start again, full wipe.
EDIT: OK, silly me, I didn't have a ringtone set for notifications phone makes a noise now when I get an email. I think I have to wait longer than I am to get a pulse light notification.
Thank you for answers.:good:
While i was waiting for answers, i have made some ttests.
in cm11 all was good, because my account doesn't restore settings, also ok if i restore all apps from titanium backup without data. But if i restore all data, gmail stop sync.
So i've tried to make a full wipe, reinstall cataclysm, uncheck automatic restore, install all apps with titanium (excluded gmail).
Some minutes to reconfiguring all and for now all is good. :victory:
So, i think was a setting, but i don't understood which one...
Thanks to all, and happy new year!
Titanium backup always screws things up. I've noticed this many times over years of being on here

Absolutely agree. I switched to Rom Toolbox a long time ago.

This messed me up too, I've had to manually install everything and my Nexus 5 is fine now.
The first time I restored I kept getting stutters and pauses.
Selectively restored data for some apps like the Google Auth app.
Glad you got it working, the Cataclysm ROM is really great, stock Google + minor tweaks (circle battery, customise the toggles)

My only problem was with gmail, so for the rest i've used Titanium.
It's the first time i've got a problem with it...
But the important is that my problem was solved.

[Android M Preview 3] SMS Issues

I'm not sure where else to post this and I'm having trouble finding anyone with similar issues over search! So I don't know if it's a Preview 3 bug or if I'm going crazy.
Straight to it - my text messages are disappearing randomly. I had an entire text conversation last night using Hangouts and today those messages are all gone. I had a new text this morning that I could see when first opening Hangouts in the preview spot, but clicking on the conversation shows my last sent message from yesterday at 4pm. Nothing after that. Messenger app shows nothing past that either.
Initially I had dirty flashed Preview 3 over Preview 2 and had this exact same issue right away, but I wiped and clean installed Preview 3 the same day and haven't had a problem until today. I also noticed if I switch my default app to Messenger, I can't send any messages. It just immediately tells me 'touch to resend' and it doesn't even try to send. Hangouts messages go through just fine but they are still disappearing right after I send one, even.
Pushbullet was doing the exact same thing with disappearing texts previously but they were all still there on the phone so I thought maybe that was messing with me, but I have since uninstalled it and the issue is persisting. Rebooting my phone makes no change.
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6. Only on Android M DP3, too. Also, I can't send SMS messages either. I hope there's an easy temporary fix until Google fixes it.
Same

I have the exact same issue... I tried clearing hangouts and messenger cache and data, still not working... I'm not sure if a factory reset would do it.. has anyone tried that?
I'm having the exact same issues, the only way I have been able to fix it is by using texted sms Google needs to get this sorted asap
I haven't had any issues. Are you flashing zip versions or fastboot img's?

I have had the same issues. I can see the text in pre-view, but then it's gone.
Only way for me to get texting working again was to disable both Messenger and Hangouts and loaded another SMS app (textra)
Now my texts are reliable again.
There are reports on the Hangout forums that Google is working on the issue.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/GI_GoaFWzRI;context-place=forum/hangouts
I'm having exactly the same issue (with stock Messenger and Hangouts).
Yesterday received some texts which I later noticed weren't in my list of messages. Only noticed the missing texts when a text I was trying to send was repeatedly failing..
I also updated OTA from dev preview 2, Nexus 5.
Will try a third party app temporarily...
I too am having the same problem on Preview 3 on my N5. It seems to happen in both Hangouts and Messenger. Text seem to randomly disappear from the conversations, sometimes entire conversations are deleted.
SMS Fix
Reboot to safe mode and then send yourself an sms. After rebooting to normal sms should work correctly.

That seems to work, even though in safe mode I don't have access to a messaging app (neither Hangouts or Messenger are available), I sent one to myself, and then rebooted, and now Messenger seems to work. Fingers crossed that it keeps working. Thanks!
That link is nor viable. How do I reboot to safe mode?

Thank you google.
Use safe mode to find problem apps
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You'll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally.
Pushbullet might be the issue
Found this issue this morning with my Nexus 5 with Android 6.0 preview 3...
After a quick search, found someone saying that uninstalling Pushbullet and restarting the phone would fix it, and it did for me actually!
If you guys have Pushbullet installed, give it a try. Hopefully Pushbullet will fix it soon!

Did you suddenly receive messages you were missing or did it just allow new messages to be visible again?

It just allowed new messages to be visible, I didn't get back any of the old texts that had been lost.
Good call. Yep looks like Pushbullet was the problem, not hangouts.
Uninstalled and loaded up Mighty Text. Hangouts working fine so far.
I had to deactivate Pushbullet SMS sync and send myself an SMS while in safe mode.
Jeez, I'm wondering how many SMS I didn't receive... that's really bad !

No notification sounds? [FIXED]

Does anyone else have a problem with notification sounds/ringtones after the phone goes into deep sleep? Have to reboot to fix the issue .

Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Unfortunately it's back
Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me
I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...
I'm having the same issue and I do not have the hike app

It could as well be another third party app... Doesn't necessarily have to be hike..... Try and see if clearing your recent apps fixes the issue for you
What does clearing mean? Like delete my apps?

I am also running into this issue. Im still in the process of uninstalling apps one by one to narrow it down if it is an app thats causing it. Has anyone pin pointed what is causing this? Im almost ready to factory reset the phone and add the apps back one by one but I would rather not spend the time.

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?
Just a thought
Cheers!
I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.
This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

I also noticed the issue on v8.1 that I flashed a few days ago. Thought it would have been fixed by now. Ended up downgrading to v7.1.2 again to fix the issue.
Oreo is NOT ready for prime time in my opinion.
