gmail has stopped working - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge. As soon as I connect the device to my gmail account, I get frequent popups that 'gmail has stopped' I have not even configured email yet...lol.... What I did so far (all without success)
wiped the cache data partition, reset to factory defaults, upgraded the OS to lolipop, updated all aps that come with the phone.
Nothing has helped so far.
If I try to uninstall gmail (after all there are plenty of other email clients out there), it tells me that it will impact the functionality of my phone. I was not planing on using that app anyways. But I want my phone to function properly...
Any other ideas, what I can do?

Have you updated gmail or tried another version of gmail? You could try Google inbox & then try to uninstall gmail.

I have updated gmail with no success.
What happens if I uninstall gmail? the phone tells me I will break functionality...
I use CloudMagic as email tool. gmail is not even set up at all. I would think that process gets started even if it is not used.

gmail wont send

I hit the button and nothing.... just stays in the email. tried clearing the cache and data. uninstalled gmail and reinstalled.... and loaded a new rom version (senseless extreme... but this is something that suddenly started..... was working fine for a few weeks)
Any ideas?? sending from the computer works fine, as well as saving the draft on the phone, and receiving, and all that fun stuff.
have you tried removing the account and re-adding it?
I remember somewhere else someone suggested what you have already cleared and account data.
It worked once for me with Desire HD but I suspect its all the when it comes to software
i would assume that loading the new rom and in turn signing into my account again would be about the same thing... going to try a clean load today and see if i can narrow it down
Has anyone figured this out yet? I have been having the same problem for months. The only way I have found to fix it is to reload the ROM (or load a new one).
I have cleared data, cache etc. I have disable and re-enabled syncing. I have uninstalled and re-installed the Gmail app from the market and nothing. I rely on Gmail for work so I really need this app to work. I hate having to flash my phone each time this crops up...
Have you cleared defaults? That's what got mine going again after titanium backup didn't restore everything correctly.
Just curious...? After you flash these ROMs, are you using Titanium Backup to restore any system or account data? This I know can cause multiple issues and GMail is very dependent on Accounts.
The "I can't send anything in GMail, but I can still receive messages." issue happened to me twice with my Sensation and I was able to resolve it both times by just clearing data from the application in: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > GMail. I know you mentioned doing this and it not helping, but I just wanted to be clear on my experience with such a problem.

[Q] Gmail and ICS on multiple devices

I hope this is the right place for this question, since I am talking about multiple devices... here's the problem:
On ICS my gmail won't send. The message sits in the list as "sending" and never does.
Background: This happens on both my droid 3 and my tf101, on the D3 it happens on all ICS Roms. On the TF101 it happens with all ICS roms AND the ASUS upgrade.
Things I have tried:
1. Clear Data / cache many times
2. reinstall ROMS / google apps with full wipe, format system, davlik cache etc.
3. Tried different ROMS (Cyanogen Mod, etc.)
I love the feel of ICS on my devices, but I have to be able to send mail via gmail. Any thoughts or advice?

I had this problem a while ago.
But I think I was being stupid. I had my Google account set up, but disabled syncing of mail.
I then set up another e-mail account for my Gmail (Exchange / Corporate) and used this account to send and receive mail.
This worked for a while, but then sending also stopped working.
After deleting this account and enabling syncing for my google account, I started using the Gmail app and never had a problem since.
Don't know if you might have done the same thing?
If not, perhaps try remove and re-add your account.
Added / Deleted Accounts
So I made up a new google acct, then deleted the original. The new account would send mail via the gmail app..... put the original account back on and no mail.
Leads me to believe that it is my account settings for gmail in google... just where should I start?
Fixed
So I went into settings > Acct > Send mail as
I made gmail the default, and a message was sent,
then changed it back to the pop3 acct I wanted to be the default and now email will send.
I have no idea why this works/helps but it did. I will post if anything changes.
My next step is to reinstall an ICS rom on my droid 3 and see if I can send email from there.
Have a great day!
Hi!
I have the same probem and I have tried your solution - it did not work.
What I have noticed is that when I attach a picture in a mail this mail sits in outbox until I reach wi-fi. It does not send mail if it is on mobile network.
I checked every possible setting that I can find to allow sending mail on mobile network... but nothing works.
If anybody has a solution I would be very happy to hear it since this problem is realy annoying.
ICS 4.0.4 cm9
I have a problem, I can not do the update ics 4.0.4 I restarted my Google nekus one

[Q] Help Please - My Gmail will not Push to S3

I have read the other posts on this problem and tried all they suggested - Clearing Gmail Cache and data - I get the messages online in my browser but they never push to my S3. I can open the Gmail app and do a refresh there, and then the new messages come through. But only if I manually refresh. It was working for the first few days I had my S3, but then it stopped working.
DO I have a setting wrong? Sync is on and I get my Yahoo and corporate mail. Seems to be something with Gmail
Thanks in advance guys.

I know I have somewhat the same issue. I find that my Accounts Sync in the Settings gets turned off. I think it started happening after I installed the Go Power Master when I switched to the GO Launcher. I have to go in and switch it back on every morning. Hope this helps!

I have checked that ... First thing I checked ... I am getting my other e-mails and text ... just not Gmail
Go into gmail/settings/your account email/ring+vibrate/days of mail to sync, and be sure none is NOT selected.
Try that

Apps - Google services framework. Clear data and reboot.
gmail push no longer working!
Hello XDA,
I am having this same problem with gmail sync / push. I just flashed my S3 to BoneStock ROM 3.0 with VRBMF1 and now when emails show up on my desktop's browser I get nothing on my phone. I've looked at SETTINGS->ACCOUNTS->GOOGLE and all google services are all set to sync but last sync time on gmail never changes by itself. It will only refresh if I open the gmail app manually on my phone.
Before flashing my phone I would receive email and notifications immediately but now, sadly, it doesn't work like that. I've tried these things without success:
Clear data/cache in Gmail app from App Manager, then reboot phone
Clear data/cache in Google Account Manager from App Manager, then reboot phone
Clear data/cache in Google Services Framework from App Manager, then reboot phone
All of the above and reboot phone
I'm thinking I might reinstall the ROM but without installing the gmail app during the app selection process. Instead installing it from Google Play after getting to the phone's desktop the first time. This will allow me to uninstall it completely and reinstall it if I am still having problems but I really don't want to have to reflash the ROM if I can help it.
I looked through the gmail app, there isn't too much available in terms of sync'ing options. Nor items that might help me debug this issue. I'm really out of ideas on this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Greg
Nevermind, on my question.
After I did the things I listed I noticed that the play store wouldn't connect. Every time I ran it, it would just say: "no connection" with retry button that wouldn't do anything. I couldn't figure out how to fix this problem, I think it was caused by clearing out Google Account Manager data or Google Services Framework data - reboots didn't do anything.
I just did a fresh install of BoneStock and my gmail push notifications are working correctly now. Hopefully it stays that way...
Open Gmail, press menu soft key, settings, select your email address, make sure sync Gmail is checked and the setting below it says at least 30 days.
Also make sure the top option where it says inbox type is set to default inbox.
Then select inbox sound & vibrate and make sure you have a sound is set and also check the box beside where it says notify for every message.
You should now be golden.
*This was posted for the others who still have this issue *
I'm glad you got it working though.

[Q] Gmail push email no longer working

I may have stopped "google framwork services" last week, but I do not think this is related.
Basically, my gmail app no longer gets push notifications or syncs automatically.
I have android 5.0.1. nexus 5 and the latest gmail app versions. I have checked all settings in the app, and made sure that all my sync settings are enabled. I can see that the last sync of gmail was over 30 minutes ago, yet I've sent emails to my gmail account since then and they appear on the web version.
The app won;t show new emails until I manually refresh within the app.
Please help. I googled a bit and saw that some people with a similar issue dod a "factory reset" to solve. that seems a bit extreme. Is there any other way around this.
I've done all the usual things, cleared data in gmail app and forced stop and restarted phone.
I even removed my google account and readded it. nothing worked.

If you cleared data of Google Services Framework, it resets your GCM push id. Apps usually request this id the first time they are opened, and will usually re-request it every few weeks/months. Clear data of gmail and Play Services, then remove and re-add your Google Account.
thank you Elluel.
I'll try that now. (I've also just tried a wipe of the system cache form the recovery menu, this didn't help.
That seems to have MUCH improved things. Mails are coming in within a minute now, whereas before it would not sync for hours even with all settings set to ON.
Thanks... I'll see how it goes.

I did this same thing and couldn't get it figured out this worked right away!

Gmail not Syncing

So, we have 2 ATT GS5 phones that have been updated to Lollipop since the software was released. On May 7th, my wife's phone just stopped syncing Gmail. Funny thing is, it syncs all the other google services under accounts (Calendar, Contacts etc...) When you look at Gmail under accounts, where all the google services are, the Sync arrows never go away on the Gmail section. Also, since I cleared all app data, when you go into Gmail for the first time, it just stays at the pulling down email screen.
-I tried clearing Gmail app cache and data buttons, no good.
-Tried the uninstall updates button, rebooted, re-installed updates, no good.
-Rebooting phone and removing batter, no good.
-Tried clearing off all her pictures/videos to make more space (now have 5GB free), no good.
What else is there?
open the setting
