New to me V30 and Gmail shows only last 30 days of messages.
Any messages show up only on laptop or desktop. Nothing from March 2019 show on phone.
Have checked Settings, Accounts, Google and Sync -- there is no date limit on any of these settings. Have also checked Settings from Desktop logon to Gmail and there is no apparent location or setting that allows or restricts "days to show" -- or I am not seeing the setting.
Where may I adjust it to unlimited or at least 90 days ?

It's a simple app setting.
Has nothing to do with V30, but the Android Gmail app. Default is 30 days, but you can set for more if you wish. There's also app settings for auto downloading attachments, etc.

In the Gmail app settings, click on your email address. Retention period is customized per account. Some people have more than one Gmail account.
You can also go to gmail.com on your phone web browser if you want to see your computer view.
Have only 1 email account and it is gmail
When I click on Accounts and select my gmail account, a long list of permissions to various parts show up, calendar, sync etc but nothing that has a days to send./sync value
Holding down the area with email does nothing and Sync button by itself has no function other that sync now
Still elusive -- if step by step can be posted, would help a lot.
Also tried on laptop, logged on in normal desktop mode and Settings does not have an area to set anything with value in days -- in fact, it shows All mail in Inbox from years ago to present day

I have a work calendar in Google Apps here at work which I share with my Nexus 1 and my Dell Streak 7. It won't allow me to share any details, only free/busy, so on the Android devices I see free or busy for the timeframe. No problem. At least I know something is going on and can check in on GApps to see the details if it's an event I don't recognize.
Now I've recently started noticing that events which are deleted REMAIN on my calendar as free. I've recently changed job positions and a lot of my previously recurring meetings are off my calendar now, but they still show up as Free on my phone. Gah.
Daily view.. I have NO actual meetings today OR tomorrow except for the one personal event. I have two, 9:30 and 11, that are from deleted recurring meetings. And a second at 11 I created a few minutes ago testing to see if it showed up, and sure enough it showed as busy while it was valid, then continues to show up as "free" after.

My weekly calendar. Sorry you can't see much, but all but 2 of the dark blue squares are "invalid" free entries... I tried to take a screenshot on my tablet to make it more obvious how many of these stupid things are in my calendar now, but I just kept getting black screenshots and don't have the SDK here at work.
Anyone know how to fix this? I don't see it from my personal calendar on GMail, I don't see this "free" data showing up, although it could be hiding it, not sure how else to figure out if this is specifically an Android issue or something?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Aha, on a hunch I tried to clear Calendar Storage and all of the old events that were showing as "free" are gone! Interestingly the one I created today as a test is still showing up.
So this tells me it's definitely something Android was doing... but can't imagine why.
Maybe someone else has a better solution, but this is a decent workaround if you have a lot of recurring "Free" entries showing up. Disable Calendar Sync in Settings->Accounts->Your Google Account, then go to Settings->Applications->All and find Calendar, Force Kill, then Calendar Storage, Force Kill, and Clear Data inside of Calendar Storage. Then go back to Accounts and re-enable Calendar syncing. It'll take a few minutes to finish, then your calendar should be fresh.
FYI I don't know if this has any other affects, but AFAIK since it's all cloud based, this should not lose any data. Not sure about maintaining old entries or non-AOSP ROMs, such as Sense ROMs which might do weird combos of local/Google calendar events.
I got my Galaxy S II today as my first android phone, but I don't have unlimited data.
Is there anyway for me to turn off auto refresh for things like the weather widget, gmail, facebook, ect...or make it so that it only refreshes on wifi? I went into settings and found "auto sync" and "background sync", but i only see "facebook", and "google" :/
I'm on 2gb and don't have any problems running over on data. As long as you aren't streaming a lot you should be fine (unless you are on the 200mb plan). I use weatherbug and set the refresh rate to 1hr. Gmail is still push and it uses minimal data. I have google voice running all the time too.
Just keep an eye on the data for a while until you know how much you actually use. Use 3g watchdog or mydatamanager from the market
Facebook will be right there to disable. Background data being disabled should stop some data use when the phone is asleep. For gmail there is a setting in the gmail app. Most apps that sync will have a setting.
Juice defender has a way to block all data use when the screen is off. Be careful though, most "task killers" cause slower performance and can decrease battery life. In general stay away from anything that auto kills apps.

Okay thanks. (how do I "thank" on this forum?...) But i still can't find how to stop or limit push emails in the gmail app... theres a "turn off notifications" thing, but I'm not sure if it stops the email from downloading too...
If you disable auto sync, everything under your gmail account on the sync settings page will be disabled.
If you just want to stop gmail:
Settings/accounts and sync/manage accounts/sync gmail

Maybe there isn't a setting in the gmail app. If you go to settings, accounts, Google and uncheck gmail I think that will make your gmail manually sync only when you refresh in the app.

If you refer to google voice for text messages and calls and not google voice search as some people get confused, then yes it works pretty well, but for make calls it does not work with other apps like groove IP , gvoice and so because of the lack of the proper drivers for the mic and possibly speaker too.

Awesome thanks....yes I will just be using for the texting. When the NT is in sleep mode will it still notify you of an incoming message or do you have to manually check it? Also, when rooted do you get audible notifications for new messages and/or emails like you do on a regular Android tab or phone?

yes you can get audible notifications, and the notfications will not show up while nook is sleeping once you wake it up wifi will wake up too in few seconds and then you will have to wait until next refresh of google voice to check for new texts to finally show up in your notification status bar, i think it refresh every 5min but not sure and there is not option to set the refreshing time in google voice.

The only problem is that you cannot access your contacts list (since the Contacts application is not installed).

Nop, you can use your contacts while you sync them with your gmail account:

I've successfully texted using Google Voice with the NT (sent and received). I use GMail, but recently started using Contapps for viewing and text messaging/e-mailing my contacts on the tablet. It also has Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc integration. So far so good.
No go on the phone calling though.
Problem:
When I tap on a contact (via the dialer) often times as I scroll down the same information duplicated (four birthdays in a row, for example). Here's the issue - you see multiple same birthdays.

}
When editing a contact in the Contacts app (I have a non-rooted Note 4 running stock Lollipop) it pulls up all instances of that contact, and often duplicate content (multiple instances of a birthday, same phone number, etc). This is the native contacts app on my phone. I don't know if this is pure Android app or a Samsung skin
I have only added my one Google account to Android (e.g. myemail at gmail dot com). But when I edit a contact I still see 3-5 "google" instances of that contact. See below. When I edit this contact, you see the numerous "google" headers - these are the different instances of the same contact.
Any idea how to merge all this so that I don't have multiple instances of the same contact and duplicate info for the same contact?
Thanks - I consider myself pretty bright, but this has perplexed me about Android for YEARS!

That is a Samsung app. Not the stock Android app. What I would do is use a pc and go to Google contacts and remove all the others after combining the info into one contact account
Hiya
I'm having issues with 4 Google Services (Calendar, Keep, Gmail and Music) not syncing for some reason.
Below is what I see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried the usual stuff like manual sync, removing and re adding the account etc. The only reason it shows as synced today is from when I removed and re added the account. Before that, the last sync date showed as the day I got the phone.
I've checked the log files and see logs such as:
Code:
syncs:
sync-errors:
CombinedSyncSnapshot: {Last Sync Start Time (system clock): 07/27 22:42:50.472, Sync Type: BTD_GMAIL, Connectivity Type: TYPE_WIFI, Throwables: Throwable: java.lang.SecurityException: Access denied! Only Google signed apps are allowed to access the SubscribedFeeds provider. Calling package: com.google.android.gm, stacktrace: java.lang.SecurityException: Access denied! Only Google signed apps are allowed to access the SubscribedFeeds provider. Calling package: com.google.android.gm, android.os.Parcel.createException(Parcel.java:1953)
The interesting bit above is the "Access Denied! Only Google signed apps are allowed" bit.
The apps that are acting up are all official apps. Some were pre installed, some from the play store. I've tried uninstalling update for the apps, clearing phone and app cache etc. Nothing works.
Anyone know what the issue is?
Edit: I'll give £15 ($20) to whoever gives me a fix. Money will be sent via PayPal
Thanks
Have you made sure to disable all power saving modes under the battery settings? Power Saving Mode disables the automatic sync services of those apps while it's enabled

Hiya
Thanks for the reply but yep, all disabled. I've never once enabled battery saving strings on this phone either
(screenshot attached of my battery settings)
I even made sure to turn off Auto battery management for the affected apps, made no difference
Had to factory restore in the end which solved the problem.
