Gmail Syncing issue?

I just noticed that I hadn't gotten any emails in a while on my N1. So I checked Gmail on my computer and it showed 5 new emails that I hadn't seen. Digging a little deeper, I found that the gmail app on my phone hasn't successfully synced in the last 24 hours and I also can't access any past emails other than those that are already shown in my inbox(it won't load any that aren't already on the phone, gives a "Network Issue" error). What's even more strange is everything else on the phone works perfectly and even the number of new emails is updated in the gmail app, it just won't download the emails themselves. Is anyone else having these problems?

I just checked mine and it is up to date. In fact, I am usually getting a notification of gmail on my N1 before it shows up on gmail web site or indicated by Gtalk.
Hopefully, your issue is temporary and the 'network issue' will go away.

....and fixed. I still have no idea what was going wrong but going into the manage applications settings menu and clearing the data on gmail and gmail storage fixed it. Hopefully this issue doesn't get too widespread, cause no non-tech savvy person would ever be able to figure that out.

Alright, it turns out this is a really big freaking deal(as far as I can test it anyway). Any time I try to attach pictures to an email and send it, it causes this. And there's no way to undo it that I can find other than manually clearing the data in Gmail Storage.
...And from looking at the logcat, It gets a file not found exception when trying to load the attachment. I'm using a fresh picture taken from the camera to test it so this looks like a pretty big bug. I'll poke around a bit more though.
After a bit more testing, this only happens pictures taken from the camera for some reason. Can anyone else confirm that this happens for them too?
Alright, I think I got this(at least partway) figured out. It wasn't all pictures but just a couple specific ones. For some reason, there are some pictures that I took yesterday with my Nexus One that didn't actually get saved anywhere(I'm not sure how it even knows they exist, or where it's finding the image). The image I was trying was one of those, but trying another one that did get saved worked perfectly. So I guess this is less an issue with gmail and more an issue with the camera not always saving pictures correctly. Gmail just completely chokes when you attach a file that doesn't actually exist.

Hmmm...
My gmail hadnt synced for several hours today.
Rebooted..seems ok now.
I did actually send an attachement from a note pad application to myself last night.
No idea what the correlation is if any.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but if you are actively logged in to gmail (say, from a desktop) while accessing your gmail on your phone, the results are somewhat wonky and unpredictable.
I've seen this issue on my G1 and it continues on my N1.

I experinced this issue also. The issue seemed to exist across reboots. For some reason I was convinced that the issue had something to do with facebook syncing. I deleted that account and the problem went away. But know that I think about it, I did try emailing a picture that I had just taken right before I noticed the problem(emailed straight from the camera app), and I know that email did not go through. Hmm, definitely sounds like a bug somewhere.

Me too. I noticed same in G1 and now on Nexus while all time logged-in Gmail using Mozilla on desktop while at work. Totally unpredictable many time I see first on desktop and then later (some times way later) on G1 and Nexus.
Jp

I've been having sync issues too. I don't really do much with email, mostly receiving and I find myself having to refresh manually, all the time. It has been about 3-4 days or so. It worked perfectly at first...
Here was my problem: check settings and then the sync menu. It says something & sync. My auto sync was unchecked. Working great now!

Been having sync issues, posting in a thread about it over on the google support boards. Not major to me, just annoying and hope it gets resolved.

Thank you so much for the detailed responses about this Marcus. I thought I had messed up gmail with my theme, but then I read this thread and remembered that I had tried to send a picture through gmail immediantly after taking it, and after clearing data for gmail and gmail storage, it worked again.
So again, thank you, that is one less bug I have to deal with my theme causing.

I've had this issue when trying to email "large" (over 2MB'ish, as a rough guess) files.

Anyone had this weird MMS problem since Official Froyo?

I never once saw this problem the first 3 weeks I had my phone, but ever since I installed the Froyo upgrade I have had issues whereby some MMS messages do not automatically download. They show up in the list and have a download button on them. Sometimes when you push the download button they download, and other times they don't. It's an aggravating problem.

I've received only one MMS with a pic since I've downloaded the AT&T Froyo upgrade. It worked, but I'll keep an eye out for the problem.
Have you tried to create an appointment in the calendar since the upgrade? I can edit existing appointments, but when I attempt to create a new one and save it, I get a message saying it's saved, but it's nowhere to be found.
Another member on another thread confirmed having the same issue...

I've put several things into the calendar and it has saved them. I did do a factory reset though after installing Froyo. I started having a few weird issues and the reset cured most all of it except that my Market interface never has updated and this strange MMS issue. Also noticed that animated gifs that I receive in MMS messages play at a really slow framerate and they didn't with Eclair.

Thanks for the info.

Unable to send MMS messages

Got this phone a week ago and I've sent a bunch of pictures to people through MMS. I've just now learned that none of those pictures were ever received. I don't get any sort of error message; it seems to send just fine. But when I ask if they received the pics, they always say no.
And no, this isn't the problem with 8MP pictures taken with the camera that won't compress properly with the stock Messaging app. This includes smaller pictures about 500KB in size. I have also tried alternative apps such as GO SMS Pro with no success.
I have another issue with receiving MMS messages. I do receive pictures, but they only open as a weird 5-second slideshow as if it's a video file. The only way to view the full size is to download the file and then go to the Gallery app.
Any ideas?

I have an issue with ppl receiving my mms. My issue is that they get the pic like 24-36 hours later
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I've had similar issues too, particularly with sending MMS to my friends with iPhones. I've sent group messages which didn't deliver at all, and I've sent pictures which took hours upon hours to send, but when I sent my brother a picture on his old flip phone, he got it within seconds.

strange... I never had any issue.

Actually, I just tried doing some debugging a few hours ago sending MMS to my family, and I even tried using 3rd party messaging software, but still no luck. They just don't want to send.

I've never had any problem either.
I know this isn't helpful (& I hate when other people respond like this) but maybe something in the way my phone is setup is working a little differently.
I got my phone from a pre-order & on the very first boot I rooted it etc. When the root66 ROM was released, I completely wiped everything & flashed the ROM fresh.
I use Handcent, but the stock MMS/SMS app works fine also (I just tried it). Other than flashing that ROM, all I have done is remove or freeze all the Verizon bloatware & everything works perfectly (& it's fast as hell also)

I've been having this issue ever since I bought it, including stock and root66 roms. I've tried using the stock messenger, Go SMS, and also the closest thing to the AOSP messenger I could find on the market, all with the same problem.
That message I sent out to my family when trying to debug it, they finally got it... around 12 hours later.
I just tried it again tonight, and it seems to be working fine, so it seems to be an intermittent issue. I've sent out 3 or 4 that took ours, and I've sent 2 or 3 that delivered immediately. And as far as when I was testing, same exact picture, same exact text, one took 12 hours, the other instant. It couldn't possibly be an issue with coverage, I've got 4G and almost full bars everywhere, plus I'm connected to wifi.
If you've got any clue as to what setting we may have accidentally changed, please do share because I haven't a clue (and tbh, there's not a lot to customize in the stock app)

Boy that really is strange, I haven't had the problem myself but maybe I just haven't used MMS enough to run into it.

Outgoing images sent via text are date stamped 28hrs behind!

So I got this LG G Stylo a couple of weeks ago. its with cricket. when I first got it everything fine.
Then within the last few days everytime I send an image to someone ..regardless what network they're on , on their end the image is stamped with yesterday's date and a few hours behind so its like 28hrs behind
now when I send a regular text ...the time and date show up fine. I've switched the stock MMS and used Textra, hangouts..etc they all do the same thing, the text is fine but an image is always back dated and sometimes the image will just not be sent, like when I used Text sms Ultra . Images i get from other people via text are fine with correct date..its ONLY my images I send out.
I've gone into setting unchecked the automatic date boxes for "carrier" date and time, the auto time zone thingy too. I thought maybe it was my wifi so I disable that on my phone...and nothing.
The ONLY thing different is that I did root my phone, but everything else works, before the root I didn't have this problem. But I can't say it was the root because I THINK it started happening after root but im not sure since I don't send many images via text
any ideas ??
thanks

found a file called smartcall. Does anyone know what it is?

Hi, i have found a file called smartcall on my phone. When you click on it it goes to my Microsoft word documents. I've noticed over the last three or four weeks I've had notifications by e-mail that someone has tryed to get into my Microsoft account. I have no idea how it got on my phone or what its for?? A really strange thing happened to me on the 12th.Jan. Two friends of mine plus my dad were sent text messages of some photos of me that were taken from my CM security which takes snapshots of people trying to get into your phone/tablet etc. Well sometimes I put the code in wrong more than three times and takes a pic of me. Someone has managed to get hold of those pictures and sent them via text. Also there were a couple of map references showing where i live saying I need help!! Can anyone please tell me what's going on here. I have explained to my phone providers that it wasn't me who sent the texts. Even though it showed my mb number it wasn't me as my phone was completely broken. It's all very bizarre and scary.
