[Q] Gmail app not sending emails? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.. my gmail app won't send any emails. It just says "sending" forever. I'm using a rooted vibrant on stock 2.1 rom, with JAC's kernel.

There have been a few people myself included experiencing this sporadically but I haven't seen a fix or a reason why it's doing this just yet.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App

I have yet to be able to actually send an email via Gmail on my phone. I can receive them all day long, but the times I try to compose a message, they just say "sending" forever.
Also, I have noticed that when i receive a message and delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from my Gmail. I have to log into the webmail or use my desktop.
I'm running the stock rom, rooted.

I used to have this happen on my g1 frequently, haven't had it happen on my vibrant yet though. Typically when it would happen on my g1, I would go into the google apps and clear all the data. Couldn't just do it on gmail either, had to do the other google apps too for whatever reason, then it would work again.
Good luck, it's pretty annoying.

Try k9. It's a bit slow at times but it's pretty solid. Best email app I've found yet. I use it for msn, live, gmail, yahoo and my company email.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in the stock email apps that came with this phone. I think they're kinda garbage. Apparently my Sidekick '08 was better for that, not to mention the lack of IM.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time. I chalked it up to the gmail servers having issues. But as soon as I plugged in the charger the emails went out. Maybe if battery is low it won't send email? It didn't tell me it wasn't going to send them, it just didn't send them.

I find that I have to go to gmail and manually send each one from the outbox, they still say sending but they actually do send after doing that, because the recepient always says they get it.
So for example, if you send a pic from gallery, make sure you go to gmail after, go to the outbox then click on the mesage and then click send.
* To get to outbox go to gmail then click menu > labels
Sucks but works till we get froyo yo

i'm on a Samsung captivate running the leaked jh3 firmware. It's rooted and running SuperRooter and circle clock.
I noticed that after reflashing to the stock jh3 gmail would send
After installing superrooter gmail would send
After installing circle clock gmail would send
But after I backed up apps with titanium backup it stopped working. I think TiBU is causing an issue for me.
Anyone else have TiBU in your problems some how?

Update: Got it working
I did this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.
Now it works!

This fixed it for me as well. I am unsure of what caused it to not work in the first place, though.

nice, clearing cache/data worked for me. i was gonna reflash my phone to stock and start from scratch. this saved me a ton of time. +1

my gmail is having the same issue as here, has anyone found a better solution to the problem then clearing the data as that deletes the currently stuck sending gmails.....
also I cant do the process above if its in a conversation, does anyone know how to open a sending gmail when it has all the other responses attached to the top of it??? that process onnly works for individually sent mails, not "replied" mails that bring other messages with it into the outbox.
anyone know how to detach it from the others or even open the data files to remove text using some sort of tool???

bump for some possible resolutions to force the message to send and or view the message to copy text...m even a wayto view data from it so clearing data wontclear message tryingto be sent???
please got a long, important email i need sent...

Seriously doubt this is just a Vibrant issue as it would happen A LOT to me with my MT3G. So far, knock on wood, it hasn't happened with the Vibrant.

I have the captivate running cog2.2 and deleting the cache under "manage applications" worked for me. I was going crazy! Thanks for the help!

I have Titanium Backup and actually had to restore my ROM with ROM Manager and a couple of apps from Titanium Backup and developed this problem. Clearing data and cache under the Gmail App and Storage + Reboot fixed the problem.

Danger
I too have been having issues with emails (and now SMS?) messages stuck in "sending..." mode. I had several emails from a month ago that I just now noticed didn't send, so I backed up gmail, cleared data, restored the emails and tried to send them individually. On the plus side, my emails did send.
On the minus side, some of them had pictures and my phone took the liberty of sending the wrong pictures from my camera (I was "sharing" pictures from the camera app). So to be safe, just delete the emails!
Dangerzone!

FREAKIN GMAIL! stuck sending.......

Would some kind person tell me how to fix messages getting stuck in my Outbox? The problem occurs randomly, I will try to send a pic or forward an email and it gets stuck. (Sending) You can refresh, sync, reboot phone, etc.... and nothing pushes the message. This happens to me on different ROMs too...
I have checked all around and have found quite a few complaints about the issue but no reasons and no solutions........
Thanks!
Can't say I have had that issue, but to be fair I just use it to read emails and rarely send them. Maybe you could try using gmail through the browser of your choice if it is necessary.
Yes, I had this same issue and found the answer in the KaosFroyo FAQ. Go to settings, manage applications, gmail, and push the clear data button. Confirm the action. The phone will immediately begin a resync with the servers after which you should have all of your email, etc. Send operations should then work without appearing to stall.

For me, it was "Gmail Storage" app instead of "Gmail" app that needed data cleared. Might as well do both for extra measure.
I'll have to try the gmail storage app as well. I've been having this problem the last few days, and clearing the data from the gmail app did not work for me.
Others have recommended a reboot after clearing data. No idea if that helps. Just passing along the info.
Wiping does not help the situation. I think the issue is with Google and the apk itself. They have made a lot of changes to GMAIL since I originally posted this. I have not had this problem in quite some time.
Make sure you have the most current version of the GAPPS.

I cleared out the data on both the Gmail app and the Gmail storage last night. Now my e-mails are going through, so that's good.
But my browser won't stay open for more than a few seconds. Figures.
Yeah, go into settings - appications - manage applications - Gmail - clear data and cache. Open the gmail app let it reconfiger.
Should work.
For ur browser. Do u have adobe flash installed? If so it makes thr browser do that.
Uninstall it.

But how about the email stuck sending? Clearing the data will delete it, I assume? It only shows me the first line with some dots, so no hope in copy/pasting and resending… unless there is a way to get back to editing it?
anyone know where this info is kept so I could grab it through adb?
thanks!

When you clear data for Gmail and Gmail Storage, it will delete the email that's stuck sending. So before you do that, go to your Drafts folder in the Gmail app and I think you'll be able to edit the email (and copy the text out of it).

gmail not downloading to phone

Simply put..... I am no longer get gmail on my phone.
The sync manager claims that it is syncing. I do a manual refresh, but nothing shows. I am getting gmail, but it never arrives to my phone.
Are you able to receive other kinds of communication such as SMS/MMS/Calls?
If not check your signal, etc.
If so have you tried a simple reboot?
What ROM are you running?
Did this happen on any other ROMs?
What kernel are you using?
1) I have a signal. Everything else works.
2) Original stock ROM
I actually noticed something else. The mail comes in and disappears. There are three old mails in the box that for some reason are not disappearing.
Could it be that the mail is corrupt. Is there a way to reset the account or mail? Maybe there is a way to delete the data and then I can resync?

try this its helped me in the past on both my G1 and Vibrant...
settings> applications> manage applications> menu and filter and click all running apps> look for gmail> and the clear data, hopefully that will do the trick
SOLVED!
It was not the phone. Somehow, a setting got changed on my gmail that deleted copies when downloaded via pop. So when my thunderbird on my home computer downloaded the messages, it deleted it. Not sure why that setting changed since I haven't touched since setting it two years ago, but that was it.
Just in case - change your Gmail password

[Q] GMail Notifications

Hey! I have a rooted Thunderbolt (Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, using Imo's 2.7.0 leanKernel), but I have the LauncherPro app and I have my dock display my calls, messages, GMail, as well as a shortcut to the browser.
When I installed this about three weeks ago, my SMS notifications used to work (when I get a notification, a little red notification bubble came up next to my message icon, which was customized, and so are the rest of my dock icons), and then it stopped working - once I installed SMS Go, it started to work again for a bit, and then stopped.
So for two weeks I sort of just accepted that, and then for some odd reason my GMail notifications stopped working... I would get e-mail, and it would say "Inbox (1)" when I click on the GMail icon to open it up, but to see it I would have to refresh and then it would pop up and then if I went to the home screen, the notification bubble would return. These notifications used to be instantaneous; I sent myself a test e-mail and waited for hours, and after doing several test e-mails, I realized sometimes (not all the time though) the application, even after an hour, was not recognizing I got mail until I refreshed.
I tried changing setting to check mail often, made sure on LauncherPro's preferences I set the notifications to be on... I am just unsure why my notifications would stop working (and my GMail is slowly going to crap - I even uninstalled and reinstalled, did not help).
Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions for this weird problem? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - does anyone have any suggestions? I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling GMail again with no success.

Check under accounts to make sure that sync is still on for your Gmail account.

Go into Settings > manage apps > all. Open the Gmail icon. Click on "clear cache " and "clear data ". Ignore the warnings. Return to home page, and open Gmail. It will resync, and your problem should be solved.

I've had gmail bug out on me about three times total dating all the way back to my OG droid. It always happened after flashing a new ROM even with full wipes. My situation was a little different (basically if I "deleted" a email in the gmail app it wouldn't actually delete. It would never resync to my phone but I still would get a x amount of new messages. I would then log into my gmail on the pc and there are all the messages that I had "deleted") I solved this once by just clearing data and cache, but the other two times I had to do a wipe and reinstall. What was interesting though is each time I back upd my current Rom and used that on the restore and bam it was fixed.
Is there any way I can change the frequency of when the GMail app checks mail/forwards them to my phone?
through the gmail app itself no. You could use the "mail" provider on the phone and receive gmail that way. In that program you (i think) can set up the frequency that it syncs. A couple of downsides to this though:
1. unless it has changed since I haven't tried it since the OG droid, it won't delete emails off your web based account only your phone.
2. you would need to delete the gmail app on your phone.

[Q] First the camera now my gmail is not working....

I'm currently running CM10-20121210-Nightly-d2spr.
I was trying it to see if I can get the camera to work and of course it still doesn't focus so I've pretty much given up on the camera ever working again. I guess I can live with that but the one thing I cannot live without on my phone is the gmail not working.
I can receive emails just fine but it will not send emails. It says "sending" when I press send and acts like it's working but it never leaves the phone.
Also, now when I delete an email in my gmail account it is not deleting on my desktop. So I guess I have two problems, the "SEND" feature is not working and it's no longer syncing with my desktop.
Any help, suggestions?
Sorry - found the solutuion after posting
But if anyone else is having the same problem..
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, Gmail, then click on clear data. You may also try rebooting after that.

Gmail app not sending attachment even under 25mb

Hello, I shot some video today on my HTC one and wanted to email it to a friend. The size is UNDER 25mb (around 24.5) and it's just sits in my outbox trying to send. Not to mention if I remove it from the outbox I have actually uninstall gmail (the updates anyways) and re-install them in order for mail to sync properly again. If I don't it acts as if it's still trying to send it out when I try to sync even though it's been removed from the outbox. Tried force closing, rebooting, clearing the cache..only thing that worked was a re-install. Anyone else have trouble sending larger attachments through the gmail app? Also I am on WiFi so speed shouldn't be an issue.
As far as I understand any email provided caps the files at 10 MB anything larger won't send.
