Maildroid Locking Up - General Questions and Answers

Over the last few months (Never before), MailDroid has been locking up on me.
It gets a black blank Screen for sometimes 2 or 3 minutes.
It then either works or has a pop up asking to wait or kill the app.
I have sent into MailDroid but no fix.
Anyone else having this issue?
This (For me ) is by far the best Email App I have used.
I love the way you can select multiplie emails (To mark read or move or delete) By just swiping down the line of check boxes.
I have never seen any other email app that has this feature and I use it many times a day
This happens with both my Phones see my Sig. Below

Verizon HTC TP2 Keyboard/Messaging Issue

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I just upgrade to the offical Verizon ROM to WM 6.5 and I'm having some issues.
The main problem: I take my phone off of sleep mode or stop it from entering just prior to and my TF3D home screen shows but the banner reads "messaging" instead of "start" like I'm in my messages and the virtual keyboard will pop up. This also happens 85% of the time when I recieve a new txt/mms not with emails however. This is a new development I;ve had the ROM since launch.
Before I call VZW and get stuck on hold for 50 years I figured i would see if anyone else has this issue or knows of a .cab that might fix the issue. I have had luck with .cabs in the past for other issues.
Side note, has anyone successfully stopped the clock from flipping an hour and two minutes? I have checked the fourms downloaded all the .cabs and nothing seems to actually stop it.
I am in the exact same boat as you my friend. I am also having diffuculty locating a background for all tabs .cab and a working rotator for all screens that functions in the VZ TP2 6.5update

I have a very similar problem to you my friend. When I check my messages (txt or emails) and close out of them the Messaging will pop up like yours, although my keyboard doesn't show up. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds sometimes 30 seconds.
My main issue is it will turn my screen back on when this happens. So if I read a txt and close it and I don't wait for it to pop up, my screen will stay on. It's killing my battery life and some funky things happen when its in my pocket turned on..
Any idea if anyone has come across a solution to this?

[Q] Phone Appears Frozen

I know there have been other posts regarding this but I haven't seen one referencing what is happening with my TP2.
My phone seems frozen or locked up almost all of the time. I think I have determined it has something to do with email synchronizing. I have 7 pop email accounts and often it may be slow connecting, loging on etc. If I turn sychronizing to manual it never occurs until I sync at least one account. The email accounts are spread among three different ISP's so I don't believe it is ISP related.
I press all the buttons nothing happens for a while (at least several minutes. ) If I pull the stylus out the buttons light up. If I double tap my bluetooth headset it will wake up and place a call. Outside of that it is unresponsive.
Any body have any ideas?
Thanks

Mine does this too sometimes
but it seems like the phone hardware and WinMo are working fine, just Sense gets all fubar'd. whatever was on the screen last gets stuck on the screen, but the notification bar and the softkey bar at the bottom both work just fine

You answered your own question. Sense is a memory hog to begin with. Introducing the 7 e-mail accounts into the equation certainly doesn't help anything. Either cut down on the number of accounts or live with the problem.
There is always the option of using SEVEN. It's a program that gives you push e-mail on your device for free. I doubt you could use 7 accounts with it, but it takes up little resources when in use. You would also have less data used and shorter connection times, as well as (hopefully) no more freezes.
You could also try installing some memory saving applications. The one that will give you the most free space cleared is QuickMenu. Do a search for it. The caveat to this is that the standard version causes you to loose the settings links. One user, colossus_r, has a version that adds the settings back. Also, to increase the space between the items for a more finger-friendly feel, go into QuickMenu > Option > View tab > Menu item edge = 16.

[Q] Gmail on Vibrant breaking up single messages

Gmail on my Vibrant is doing the craziest thing - randomly. It takes messages that I write and breaks them up into a ton of smaller, partial messages. It is correct on Gmail and in Thunderbird, but in Gmail on my phone it displays very oddly.
I've attached a few screenshots to show what I'm talking about.
In the first screenshot, you see that it says the conversation has 24 messages. This should be 2. I sent one, and got one reply.
In the second screenshot, you see the way it shows a bunch from me one after the other.
In the third you see how the first email shows the beginning of the actual email, then the second shows what was in the first, plus a little bit more. Then the third adds on to that, and so on and so on until, 23 emails later it finally puts the entire thing.
The fourth screenshot hints at the problem - notice how some of the email is in purple, as if Gmail thinks that it is part of "quoted text."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is really weird and it's pretty damn frustrating, too. Any ideas?
EDIT: I should also point out two other things I forgot to mention... First, this email (and I think all the others that have done this) were actually sent from my desktop/laptop and sycned with the phone. Also, looking at timestamps on the screenshots, it shows different times for each one... however, they were obviously all sent at once - in the web client it shows correctly.
I had this happen on my fascinate once and I killed the app, came back and it was fine.

No such luck. Kill the app, nothing. Restart the phone, nothing.

Gmail not pushing

Been noticing lately on the S8+ that my emails through the Gmail app arent coming through. I'm receiving no notifications about them unless i open the app and pull it down to refresh. Was working fine when I first received the phone, not sure if anyone else is experiencing this? On T-mobile.
Only thing I can think is maybe something I disabled in package disabler but i doubt thats it. I didnt touch anything to do with gmail
Never had this problem, however for non Gmail accounts added to it, i.e. outlook, after deleting an email, a minute later, the email will reappear. It's getting rather annoying, especially when in deleting 5 at a time, they just come back and seem to go away after the 2nd deletion

I've had the same issue. If i delete them from the lock screen, they show deleted. Reappear for a second, buzz and then vanish. this happened on my stock nexus 6 as well so its not a GS8 thing.

Yes i also had a Nexus 6 and the problem was there too and also sorry I didn't read your post properly but I do get the problem you have. When I go to the app, pull the side panel which shows my email accounts, there will be a badge number over it and I have to pull down to refresh. Same problem happened on my Nexus 6 as well, most likely an app problem

hopefully its an app problem. they also need to fix that delete/double notification thing. especially when you delete like 10 emails, it then buzzes 10 times. super annoying

Any updates on this, I'm no longer getting push notifications for my Outlook account. I have to physically go and refresh.

Yea I am still not receiving emails unless I go in and refresh. This is weird because gmail worked on this phone properly, not sure why it randomly stopped. I tried to send an email and it got stuck on "queued" for a little and then sat on sending for a few seconds as well.
All other push notifications are working fine, instagram, facebook, snapchat, text messages, nest, etc... but gmail isn't working. Not sure if its something i turned off in package disabler? did you use that app at all?
update. i have no idea what i did but its working again.
i went into every gmail setting possible, turned it off and back on again. i forced my google account to resync. i disabled notifications and turned them back on. i disabled network access in the background, then turned it back on. ive tested it a few times by sending emails to myself. i also received a notification from a newsletter as well. it is working for now and im happy. hopefully it doesnt stop.
Yep, not sure what's happening with Gmail but I had this issue now on my Nexus6p....
next question, does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying double notification when deleting an email from the notification bar? if its on my lock screen and i expand them and then delete, it deletes and then a split second later it pops up again and vibrates then vanishes. same thing happened on my stock nexus 6

Samsung Interface Not Updating

All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
