Google not logged in after restart on 2.1 - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know other people are having this issue as well so maybe someone has a solution. Every time I restart my phone I get an error because I am not logged in to my Google account. It is easy enough to just log in but is there a fix for this yet?

try launching google talk.. might force it.

Problem solved. I just had to check the auto-sync box, menu|settings|accounts & sync.
Well that worked once and after a few more tests I'm back to not being logged in, even with auto-sync checked. Oh well

I'm also having the same issue, with auto-sync already being enabled.

gmail will only sync on WiFi

So I've been having a gmail sync issue for a few days now, don't know why. I'm running rooted stock with the black gloss theme. When I connect to WiFi I get gmail no problem butover tmo data I have to manually sync it. I did the clear data thing, same issue.
I see this too. Don't know if there is a workaround but it does seem strange that it acts this way. What if you don't have WiFi?
The thing that bothers me even more is the GMail doesn't allow you to Copy text??? This is weird considering Google made both GMail and Android. I understand that issue will be resolved with Froyo though.
Let us know if anyone knows how to allow for the updating of Gmail without WiFi.
I have a similar problem. My Gmail will sync randomly on 3g and syncs perfectly fine on wifi.
I have no problem getting or sending email, but if i change the "label" and move it to another folder, it will only move it on my phone, if i go to gmail on the computer the stuff will still be in my inbox.

[Q] Application to log processes that ran?

Hi,
I am wondering if there is an application out there that will log my activity so I can see what services or applications ran that day.
The reason for asking is that I suddenly developed an issue a few weeks ago where the data connection will, apparently randomly, turn itself on. I haven't ever been lucky enough to catch it right when the data comes on, and when I check task manager I don't see any applications running to cause it. I am thinking I maybe either inherited a virus at some point, or I have an application that is attempting to update itself or something. But I haven't installed anything for months so it could be any old program. I checked scheduled tasks but don't see anything there.
I have done 'the usual' of making sure weather, stocks, email are not causing it.
Many thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Turn off "My Location"
Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you mean 'my location' in google maps? When I manually click 'my location' it doesn't turn my data on (TMobile HTC TP2). Are you suggesting it actually can turn data on in some background mode? I thought it got the information from cell locations, no?

Yes, info from cell locations(data).
Start/Settings/Personal/Phone/GSM Services(CDMA for some)/Location Setting
It's used for Google, HTC weather updates, location on home screen, etc
tyvm. First of all, DUH!, I was attached to activesync when I tested it, so that's why it didn't connect to data.
When I follow your steps I don't see anything about 'my location' (WM6.1 TMobile) after Start/Settings/Personal/Phone. I have a tab just called 'services', but it's not in there. But anyway, I went to googlemaps and there I had the option to disable my location, so I am assuming that does the same thing. I'll leave that off for a few days and see if that solves the problem.
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Unfortunately the 'my location' wasn't the problem as the data came back on again today.
I think the best way to resolve it is going to be the log file, so...
Is there any application out there that can log activity on the phone, i.e. that can tell me which applications, services and processes ran during the day?
Thanks very much.
Get SPB Wireless Monitor-it logs all data usage (3g, wifi, active sync, whatever). The demo is fully loaded.
TYVM! Can't wait for my rogue program to run again

"Can't find location" randomly appearing on Home Screen

All of a sudden today, when unlocking my phone, I've seen this message pop up on the home screen for like 2 seconds. I figured it was just a random fluke and powered down but then when I went to click on refreshing my weather widget which is always set to the same zip code, it happened again. This widget is set to manual refresh, I have to click it to get an updated forecast. Then it happened again a few minutes later after simply unlocking the screen like it was doing earlier.
I've had Network Location services for wifi and gps turned off for a good 3 weeks or so. I only activate those on an as-needed basis. I don't use any apps that acquire my location (weather, facebook, etc.) I have the bear minimum apps running in 'Running Services' and I'm running the configuration in my sig (UnNamed, Entropy's DD, ICScrewd Theme). Any ideas what's going on?
does it happen every time you refresh the weather widget?
if it does I would try a different widget, just to see whether it goes away.
I just had GMail do this to me this morning (when I tried to refresh - I have that set to manual). I turned on location services (wifi and GPS) and let it get my location, then turned them back off. That seemed to take care of it. Might be a cookie based kind of thing - I loaded a new ROM yesterday and hadn't let it get a lock yet.
I just remembered that I updated Google Maps yesterday via the Market. I think that's the culprit. I can't see any setting though which I can change to disable automatic updating. I've gotten this message now like 3 times this morning.
Ive temporarily turned on Location Services for wifi/GPS but I prefer them off as I get much better battery life with them disabled.

This seems to be happening to me more and more. Cannot pinpoint the culprit.
is this still an issue for anyone? It certainly is for me

Account sync keeps turning off????

My Account Sync setting seems to like to turn itself off randomly. Is this happening to anyone else??
Some days Ill get my Gmail and Facebook notifications just fine, but sometimes Ill notice I haven't gotten anything all day, go into Settings, and sure enough the Sync option is unchecked once again!
Im on the stock 2.3.4 OS that came with my GS2, all Ive done was root it, nothing else. I don't have any sort of settings on that disable my data or anything that Im aware of, all Ive got is the Power Saving option which turns off my GPS when the battery drops below 30% but this shouldn't affect syncing my Google and Facebook accounts should it??
Last time I updated Gmail in the Market last month, I noticed a lot of comments that this was happening to all sorts of folks so I assumed it was a bug in the latest version. It was just by random chance I happened to go into the Account settings to look at something and noticed it was turning itself off..
Check to see if you have power save turned on. It will turn things off to save battery.
Settings, power save mode.

AHA! I could've sworn all I had checked was GPS but yep my sync was checked too. Durrrrrr.

I have the same issue, but the question is; when the phone gets charged isn't auto sync suppose to turn back on? Mine stays off (t989 for me)
Mine was the same so I just turned it off altogether.

[Q] Wifi problem

Hey guys,
I wonder if any of you has the same issue as me.. Basically, when phone is connected via WiFi it barely syncs Gmail/Facebook twice a day, I can go for hours without seeing a new email notification on the phone.. When it's on Data/3G it syncs properly and I'm getting a notification as soon as the email comes in.. I've checked everything on the phone, and I can't seem to find anything which would explain this behavior.. Currently I had to set Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to never in order to have sync working properly when I'm at home..
Btw. stock ROM, haven't touched anything since I've purchased it.
Any ideas?

Do you notice any other internet connection irregularities when on wifi? e.g. after a deep sleep if you try the browser it fails to load the page straight away and takes a refresh?
No, after I wake up the phone when it's on wifi during sleep - internet works fine.. Ie. I can load websites in the browser, open up Google Play, lookup Imdb from the application etc. Everything is working fine apart from the phone syncing my mails and everything else while it's on Wifi/Sleeping. Checking the last time it synced in Settings >> Accounts and sync also shows that it synced last time hours ago (it didn't even try to sync while it's on wifi).
Can someone please test this if it happens on other phones as well?
