Deleted emails keep reappearing - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys I need your help.
Over the past few weeks, my Gmails keep reappearing as unread messages after I delete them, across all of my email accounts on my phone. I had this before the oreo update too. It's driving me nuts.
It's something to do with the Gmail app I guess. Have you guys experienced anything like this?
Thank you

Anybody? Please?

Try to delete them from your PC.

Yes I've noticed Gmail acting a fool..I cleared cash and rested and it's been ok since

I just realized. It sounds like a sync problem. You delete the email from the app but it isnt letting the server know so then it just hangs until the server tell the app that the email hasnt been deleted so it reappears in the app.
Its just a theory, but it is possible and likely in my opinion. Clearing app cache and data, uninstall, clear the phone cache from recovery. Then reinstall may fix it.

Hey thanks for the advice. I've cleared the app cache and data, the problem is still there. I can't completely uninstall the gmail app from the phone since it's a preloaded app. It will only uninstall the updates.

Last thing I can think of on the phone side. Clear the cache, uninstall the updates, turn off sync, and dont open it.
Put another google account on your phone and remove the one the emails keep messing up on and turn sync on. Then restart the phone, turn sync back off, add the old email, remove the new one, restart the phone, and turn sync back on.
If that doesnt work. Login to the account on a pc and check any of your settings and delete ALL unwanted emails.
Thats about all Iv got. After that id suggest contacting google.

Thanks for your help. I just decided to stop using the gmail app. I switched over to Inbox by Google and everything is working fine now. The deleted emails stay in the trash.

I just went through this on my Thunderbolt.
It's usually an issue with corrupted contact or calendar.
To fix it you have to turn off syncing automatic. Then manually try syncing one by one all the Google services. When you get to the one that causes the force close, turn syncing off. Go to settings... applications... clear data and cache for the offending app, then clear data and cache for Google services framework... force stop them if they're running. Reboot your phone. Try syncing again.
That worked for me.

That's not reassuring - I had this problem earlier this week. It's the reason I was jumping back and forth between ROMs and bricking my phone in the process. Hahaha. No matter what I did the crashes would persist.
Anyways, my resolution was to do a factory reset since /data was the only partition that never got wiped when switching ROMs. I haven't had any issues since. I restored all my apps with data with TiBu. I left all the system settings alone and input my settings manually.
But, when I did notice these issues start occurring it was only after I got a random soft reboot. My phone was just sitting on the counter when I heard the bootup sound.

Funny you mention this, because I noticed one of my contacts disappeared when I switched to this phone. Turns out two of my contacts somehow automagically merged together. It was still like that after I wiped /data, but I fixed it manually.
To the OP, it's something worth looking into. If it matters, the two contacts were my dad and bro. It's the same last name and the first names start with the same letter, but in no way are they similar.

Something is corrupting your calendar or contacts.
Do you know which is the culprit?
It's tedious, but if you do, go through each contact or calendar entry that syncs and find the offending one.
You didn't make it initially clear that you'd also turned off syncing and cleared the data in something beyond google services. If you skipped that, all you're doing is trying to repush the bad data on your phone back to the server, which pukes at the attempt and crashes your phone's services.

If you're coming from an HTC sense phone, I think the problem might be related to how it tries to link contacts. Every time I put a new install or rom on my Thunderbolt, the first thing the HTC sense stuff wants to do is link all my google contacts to the phone contacts. What's odd about that is the contacts on the phone come from Google in the first place, so what's the linking needed for?
Another thing I forgot to mention, the phone would crash doing basically anything with calls/SMS, and none of my services were synching properly. Only when I received a call or SMS would my GVoice SMS and GMail update.

I agree, it is an odd scenario. Even more odd, I was coming from pure Android with my Moto Droid on CM7. I never had a phone with an overlay nor did I link multiple Google contacts together, and I hadn't encountered this problem before when switching between ROMs on that or my NOOKcolor. This is actually the first Android device I've had where the contacts could be saved on the phone, but I still prefer to sync everything to the cloud.
I'm just glad my phone is running smooth again and hope the same for the OP.

Gmail not sending, please help me.

I have been having a serious ongoing issue with the Gmail app on my droid charge. Before I begin, know that I have experienced this across 3 roms (humble, gummy, infinity) and with two different droid charge devices. Basically, when I hit the send button on an email, it just grays out and doesn't do anything. This usually happens after 2-3 successful sends. It doesn't freeze or give any errors, the send option just becomes inaccessible. Choosing to send through the menu button option doesn't do anything too. The messages don't even go into the outbox, it just sits there and saves it as a draft after I exit. Please tell me I have just overlooked some obscure setting.
What I have tried to fix it unsuccessfully:
Clearing all data and cache for the gmail app
Uninstalling and reinstalling/updating the app
Removing the screen filter app from my phone (read about some possible interference with this app)
Wiping Cache and Dalvik via CWM
Restarting the phone, and also after each of the methods above
What has worked:
Wiping my phone via CWM or Odin (factory, not just cache and Dalvik) but this only works for the first few emails and goes back to the same issue.
I feel stuck and hate not sending emails. I know I can choose another app but I really just prefer the gmail app (that's not a crime is it?) Anyone else experience this? I have searched several forums and tried solutions listed there but with no luck.
this sounds strange... have you tried to add a different google account to your phone and see if it has the same issue with sending? you could then remove the affected one and re-add.
this is the only way to point the finger at the device... if the alt works then its your gmail profile. if it doesn't then it could be the stock .apk for gmail.
Tried that

I have tried with my personal and work gmail accounts as well as my "former" account and all three experience the same issue. I thought of that as well. I feel like I have tried everything, multiple accounts, different settings, updates, removed other applications and whatever else I could think of. Thanks.
Go to application data in the settings menu, find the gmail app and clear all of the caches you can. Re sync and it might work. I've had this issue and it cleared it up.

Idk if you just ignored his OP or what but he already said he tried this.
Im in the same boat different phone. My gmail app doesnt send for me either on my galaxy s 2 att, or my iconia.
Edit: i just read a post somewhere that said if you have seal with root permissions than somereason it keeps gmail from sending... take away itsnroot privlages and reboot (this fix worked for me, hope it helps)
As far as seal goes i hope tthey fix this issue as i like that app
I had seal and experienced the same problem with gmail. Uninstalled seal and gmail worked again. Never could figure out why it was happening.

Seems to have worked for me too. Can't believe that was the issue. Thanks for everyone's help!
I really hope they fix that. Its okay though, I think seal was slowing my phone down a bit. Everything is much more responsive now.

[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.

GMail not "push" syncing

Hi all
For some reason, despite being clearly ticked to auto sync, it only refreshes manually.
Any ideas? Some other apps like Words With Friends have also stopped syncing.
I haven't done anything and am running stock 30O update unrooted.
Cheers.

Sync works fine here!
Did you accidentally tik the Sync Icon on the QuickSettings screen and disabled syncing?
No. That was one of the first things I checked.
Have you tried removing the Google account from your phone and then readding it?
If not then clear cache to Google Play Services, remove your Google Account, reboot.
Add your Google Account and it should work.

see if this is checked Gmail app>Label settings> Notify for every message.
if it is unchecked, check it.
I haven't, but that wouldn't explain other apps not syncing either. It seems it is a general push notification issue.
They will arrive if I reboot my phone but after that, no joy

Good point.. as well as to add,

- Blocking permissions to apps
- Greenify (Don't greenify every single app)
- Xposed modules?

Nope, none of that. Running stock with nothing like that enabled.
Oh okay well just give the clear cache, remove acct, reboot, add it again. See if it works.
OK. I removed all accounts including Google, and wiped cache and phones cache from recovery. Still seems like it's not working and have to so it manual.
Still no joy. Just checked GMail and had plenty of emails from last night. Reset phone then I guess.

I believe they wanted you to clear cached from Google Services in the app section and not in recovery. I have had similar issues like yours before and clearing Google services data and cache have helped
I did that too prior
My problem has been resolved by removing Gmail update, and now it's pushing again!

Question Can't sync contacts

Hey all,
After reset, I can't sync contacts to watch. Only 4 contacts are synced. Tried everything including another reset, but the problem still remains. Developer mode is on. Any ideas?

I just had the same issue with 1 contact not syncing. My memory may be failing me, but I think I Force Stop the contacts app in the Wear plugin on my phone. Watch Settings/apps/contacts/Force Stop. Then open app, when app reopened on watch everything synced
Tried it. It syncs more contacts, but 10 of 100 contacts. Wierd.
Thanks anyway
Try to remove your Google account from the phone and readd it.

Thanks, but I tried it already... Still stuck with about 10% from my contacts
Only other option is to remove your Google account from the phone. Reset the watch and add it to your phone again and then add Google account back to the phone. May need to remove your email app too.
