Disabling email app - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I've disabled most of the stock apps I don't need but when I disable email (I use inbox) I periodically get an email app force close message maybe a few times a day.
Anyone know a way around this??

i also disabled the email app and exchange service, have the same issue. there is obviously another app that is trying to open/use the email app causing the force close.

Might as well just leave it be. The only (untested) way for the notifications not to show up is having root and freezing the app.

OK I thought as much.

[Q] why is my email not syncing all the time?

Hi all.
Hopefully someone can help.
Basic I've bought this tablet and it was already rooted.
I'm not sure what rom I am on but a screen picture is attached.
I am using the exchange e-mail for my gmail.
However it seems to work fine for the first few days and then it stop syncing and e-mail start disappearing out of my inbox.
I've tried deleting the account and installing them again but the same thing happens.

When it stops syncing - does it work when you sync/refresh manually from app? Do you have any battery saving apps installed? Tthose can disable network connectivity while screen is off and stop apps from background sync.
The other thought is that I wouldn't trust device used and rooted by someone else - I'd do factory reset and re-flashed ROM. Who knows what background apps are installed there?
In your email settings, try m.google.com as your incoming server.
Gmail doesn't use push when using sammy's email app. This should fix/help with auto-syncing.
Also, you have your sync setting set to peak/off peak. Maybe an issue? See if a more frequent schedule is available.
Hi guys.
Thanks for the responses.
I would flash the Rom again but I have no idea which it is.
My email settings are m.Google.com it works fine for first few days then just stops.
I then have to go into gmail to pick my missing mails.
Weird and very annoying ......

Exchange services keeps crashing.

I get the error "unfortunately exchange services has stopped working" every so often on my Nexus 5. I am rooted but on stock. I also disabled the email app. I cleared data on the email app as well. Anyone else running into this issue?

I had the same issue. Go into settings > applications > all applications.. and disable Exchange Services as well. It has the same icon as the email app. That fixed it for me.

That is really not a fix. Its a workaround. Mine is doing that as well... not sure why... i disabled mine since i not connected to any exchange servers but to those who are... this really doesn't fix anything for them
I have this issue constantly, I have my hotmail email address set up and it uses this. If I disable exchange services I can no longer receive emails but with it on I get crashes sometimes every 2 seconds. It will crash again faster than I can send the error report.

Do we have solution for this yet?
Android update to 4.4.2 also didn't help solving this issue. One thing to note is, this is happening only if the Email exchange services are of 6.1 version, i have checked on another Nexus 4 having 4.4 which has 6.0 (exchange service).
There is no problem with 6.1.
Looks like a calendar problem
I have the same problem with 6.1 exchange services. But so far the contacts are sync with the hotmail account, it's only the calendar that throws the error box.
Its quiet annoying that you use the best devices in the market and one small service application can make it look all bad.
4.4.3 still no fix
I had called Google toll free and had registered a ticket for this problem. I was told that the 4.4.3 update will fix the problem of exchange 6.1.
Got the update today.. Nothing has changed.. guys only thing is to now change the device.

Hangouts

So I use hangouts on chrome and my nexus 5. For some reason I don't get my notifications on my phone now. I used to all the time but now I don't. I can send a message on my phone and it'll show up on my hangouts on chrome. Anyone know a fix?
Do you use App Ops?
I have it installed and ever since I revoke various permissions I don't get new hangouts messages.
SMS through hangouts is unaffected
I do not.

do you happen to have a background data restriction?
Nope I certainly do not.
Go under Settings, Accounts, your Google account, and check sync settings there.
Says sync is currently experiencing problems.
I have a similar situation but let me see if they're the same. Are you talking notifications of someone talking to you via Hangouts purely, or also not getting notifications of SMS in Hangouts? If the former, I know exactly what you're talking about. If I have the Hangouts extension on Chrome on my PC up and running, the notifications will get sent to that first. Wait a little bit and it should push to your phone. If not, then try opening Hangouts and going to that conversation. Let it try to sync. If it still refuses, then something is up.
It's not a big deal for me, after I got used to it. I also have my Nexus 7 on all the time so when someone sends me a Hangouts message while at home on my computer, I'll have the Hangouts extension notify me, my phone shortly thereafter, then probably a minute later my tablet if I haven't acknowledged it. It's all pretty crazy. This is pure speculation, but I think it might prioritize devices based on order last accessing Hangouts.
Actually, that's probably what's wrong. Once you acknowledge your receipt of the message, it doesn't bother to send a notification to your other devices. Try receiving a message, but don't click the extension or anything. Wait a few seconds and it should send a notification to your phone.

no notifications for Gmail

Since Lollipop upgrade I do not receive notifications for every new email I receive. There no longer seems to be a setting for Push notification in the mail settings but there is a setting 'receive notification for every new mail' and I have checked that in each (3) Gmail account I have. None of them work! I checked Sync settings in all accounts and it is set to on as well for each. Possibly this is a Sync issue Google is having?
Unlike other threads about 'silent mode', I want to hear that I have an email as soon as I get one! I have Notifications set to 'ALL.'
I have the exact same issue. I tried rebooting, clearing gmail data and cache, turning off sync and back on again, turning gmail sync off and on again etc etc.
Only thing I haven't tried is removing the google account and re-adding.
Not sure if this is a coincidence but I noticed it wasn't working after I installed Nine for exchange emails.
Gmail app has always only been push. There's never been an option to not push.
If you have inbox installed, that may tale over notifications - which by default doesn't notify for every bundle.
Otherwise after an upgrade, maybe a factory reset is required.
No interference from "nine" here.
It isn't pushing. I have to manually refresh to force the Inbox in the Gmail App to sync/refresh. I am getting no email notifications at all for 3 separate Google Accounts. I only use the stock Gmail App, nothing else. It was working fine on 4.4, not so much on 5.0. I expect when there are updates for there to be issues. I would find it hard to believe I am the only one. I hope others will see this thread and something is figured out.

Pushing and notifications are 2 different things. So what you actually mean is its not syncing?
Anyway advice still stands, may need to wipe

Yes and by not syncing I am not getting notifications. Calendar seems to work. I get notifications from the calendar. I don't get them from Gmail. It is reporting a sync error in the account settings. Data wipe isn't cool but I guess it is all backed up in the cloud.
I fixed it by removing my Google account from settings, accounts. All good now no reset required

OK Glad you fixed it, however I'm still hazy on the problem
Syncing = delivering messages to your phone via PUSH
Notification = Once delivered, notifying you
So it was syncing and new emails were appearing in the app, but you weren't getting the notification only?
I removed all accounts and added them back. It was also effecting Hangout messages. Everything appears to be working as it should!
The symptom that I noticed was not receiving a notification when I sent myself a test email. The cause of that was in fact a problem with Sync. When I opened Gmail the test message I sent myself was not there unless I manually refreshed. Obviously if it is not Syncing then you don't get a notification, the only part I noticed right off the bat. I was also being sent Hangout messages and not getting notice of them. Again launching the app forced it to refresh.

Thanks for clearing that up

gmail not pushing mail

So, ever since the N update on my S7 and now on the S8, my email doesn't push/sync right away at all anymore. I have to go into the email for it update. I'm not sure whyy it's doing this. I haven't set it up that way, have background data allowed, and don't have any battery saviors set up to do this...
Any ideas on this why this is happening?
Nougat's overly aggressive doze is the cause here. Fix: https://androidtutorial.net/2017/05/02/fix-delayed-push-notifications-galaxy-s8s8/
The option under Special Access you want to look at is Optimise battery Usage.
I have the same issue. I have gmail set so that it is NOT Optimized for battery. I still don't get gmail updates (and therefore no notification) until I open the app (usually). Sometimes I do get the notification soon after the email is sent to me. Rather random.
After messing around for a while, I think it is a no notification thing and not a lack of synchronizing the emails. If I send myself a gmail, I get no notification, but I can look in my google account and see where gmail has synchronized. Then I go to gmail and the message is there.

So, I solved it by going to the app manager and disabling the gmail app. Since it is a system app, it doesn't uninstall it, but reverts it back to some previous version. That version has been giving me the appropriate notifications for every email I have received since.
I think I will look at disabling updates for gmail for a while.

I deleted data for the app. That also fixed the problem (for now anyway)
This has been an ongoing issue for me for over a year. It was an issue on this phone, my S7 edge and Note7.
Often I will see an email on my phone, read and archive it, then go about my business. Several hours later I go into Gmail on my PC and that email is still sitting there, unread.
Actually sending out an email on the phone seems to make the sync update, but other actions like reading, moving, or deleting emails doesn't. I've had times where my emails were still unread on the Gmail website 12 hours after reading them on the phone. I have the app's battery optimization settings turned off, and I have even gone into the app several times during that period and pulled down to check for new messages. It's pretty awful that the sync has such serious issues and nobody is fixing it.
Deleting the app's updates doesn't work for me. It might fix the issue briefly, but it always comes back pretty quickly, even without any updates to the app.
The only thing that fixed the issue for me was installing an app called something like "Gmail Push Fixer". It worked wonders on my S7 edge. Unfortunately, the app requires root so it isn't an option on my Snapdragon S8+.
