gmail fix???

I had the same exact problem for a while with my gmail. I too had hoped the updates would fix it. However, i tried something on my own and it worked!!! I havent had a problem since.

reduce your "days of mail to sync" settings and reboot. I dont have my Prime with me right now so i cant tell you what i have. but I think I went from the default 30 days to 15 days. I will try and remember to check later. but once I did that I no longer have the email freeze and crash problem.

If i remember correctly (I did this a month or so ago), it wasnt an immediae fix. It went from not being able to open as usual, to freezing and crashing a couple times, to no problems at all. All within a matter of days. I am assuming the system had to "settle" or something. I am in no way that techie, but im not a noob. so I have no idea if this is a fix... but give it a shot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
Thanks, I will give it a shot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aadeleon:
Let me know how it goes... im curious if I was just lucky, or i stumbled on to something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
I'm afraid to post this because I will probably jinx myself, but I actually haven't had a crash yet since I changed the sync days to 15... I'll post again in a couple of days and let you know if it's still going good!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 31Cats:
Thanks. I will try this and see what happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aadeleon:
lol... awesome... guess i got lucky and stumbled on to a solution.

looks like it may have worked for cwoodard73... at least so far. i havent had a problem since then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 31Cats:
Well, it didn't work for me. But hey, it was worth a try :). Thanks for the tip!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
it didn't end up working unfortunately. gmail sometimes says open for a few seconds instead of crashing right away, but it's still unusable. sigh. maybe one of these days i'll be able to check email on my prime. after 4 months this is getting really old to say the least, and i find myself eyeballing my husband's ipad3 more and more often...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
Just wondering....

I've only had my tp for a week, so I'm new to this device and to Android 4 - but I'm not new to Android.

As I said, I've only been using my prime for a week, but I don't see any of the problems that so many people have been talking about. So this is a question not a flame. Are the people having all these issues people who have had the device for a while and have piled udate on top of update?

In my case I don't even know what firmware version came with my prime because immediately after doing the initial battery charge, I did a manual fresh install of the .28 version. So I was starting out completely clean and I have to wonder if that's why mine is working so well?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cwoodard73:
I have done a factory reset after every update to try and get gmail working. no luck :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GerardF:
I now have the problem again. Had it a few months back, then it went away, now it is back again. I have not changed anything. I also notice the problem on the Asus mail application as well. That is new. In the past it was not affected.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Localhorst86:
While its understandable, its not evn a good effort. The App wont even start on my gtab 10.1, telling me the app would not work well on my device...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Maybe your screen is too big, the app is great. Everything works even the Avatar animations.

Funny thing is, its implemented better than the WP7 version. Quck access to messages, and the dots at the bottom letting you know which screen you're on. If it stayed logged in that would be awesome, and a widget would make me replace Spark 360.
[Windows Phone 7 General] beatseek@live.com:
You are all looking at it wrong:

The iPhone and Android users are just beta testers...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Localhorst86:
Since I can not use the app despite google play saying it's compatible with my device (talk about bad user experience on android here... :D) I can not compare it directly, but on WP7 I also have quick access to messages and I do not need dots to see what screen I am on... I can see that by looking at my screen :)

EDIT: wait. Regarding the messages, I am mixing this up with the games hub. Not that i have used the xbox live companion app too often, though. I never found it useful in the first place.

EDIT2: No, wait again. Is this app like the games hub or like the xbox live companion app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] NeuroXT:
As I also understand that Microsoft is a software company, they have the right to develop software on other platforms. But this affects their own products marketshare (wp). If people are used to the system their using and since ms apps are available across devices, why switch? The issue today isn't about how many their apps in store, or how an app is exclusive to this platform, but the OS experience (and also money money money). Take the iOS 6 example, not so wow-ing eh? People might eventually switch to another platform to have a different experience, but I know someone will counter-attack this statement so I'll say it now: People don't like change. People do from time to time. Think about it, in general most people get sick of doing the daily routine, in fact all of us do. That's why we choose to have hobbies or do something for a change to experience something totally different from the daily routine.

Secondly, its a persons decision. They like iOS, fine. Android, fine. Just as long as they brag about this and complain about that, its not like everyone cares about your device.

Also keep in mind that Xbox Music may also be available to these devices. They may have showed it off at E3 that it was running on a lumia 800 or a windows tablet, but you just never know.

In windows phone, the games hub is the whole Xbox Live app available in iOS and Android. The Xbox Companion app is only available for windows phone and iOS atm.

That's because windows phone's metro UI is panoramic/pivot, the whole hub/app overlaps the screen, unlike iOS and android which an app is only limited to use the available screen resolution, unless it is programmed to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
I believe the app/functionality was first available on WP7. So who is a beta tester?
[Windows Phone 7 General] eknutson:
Coming from a household (and a workplace) where each 'user' has picked the PC / Tablet / Phone / Device of their choice, integration of all of them is VERY important, and reaffirms my personal commitment to the Win platform. They're thinking of my needs, not their domination of the market.

Seriously, watch all the google-using people complain about what they can do better on their google devices. Why wouldn't the additional exposure on 'foreign' OS devices for an MS app make you think about switching to the platform where the app came from?

In the case of the next generation, this just makes sense. Who'd want a centralized device in your living room that only connected with less than half the devices you already own? That critical piece (XBox) needs to be connected everywhere and to everything before users can even think of replacing existing devices. This is critical for success in the already installed base of devices out there.

People would be unimpressed if they had this 'cool feature' that let them control / stream / et. al.: but only if you buy all new devices. Wow, that would blow chucks pretty fast.

It's analogous to Office products - who'd buy into it if it ONLY worked with a small subset of devices / OS'es? It simply MUST be ubiquitous to take it seriously.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Correct, people need to understand the Xbox is a entirely different beast then petty cell phones. Microsoft makes more money off of Xbox, hardware and software.

Something better to focus on, Skype

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rupalazzi:
Guys need some orientation, I'm more lost than ever.

Last monday (June 11th), I received the upgrade from GB (GT-N7000_TTT_N7000UBKK2_N7000UBKK1_N7000UUBKK2) to ICS (N7000UBLPC_N7000WELP7_N7000UUBLP9). I must admit its running great, only complain is GO Launcher its running a bit laggy (I haven't wipe anything my note has a 0x19 code on eMMC).

Thing is I spected more from the ROM, so I'm thinking about going back to GB or maybe trying a CM9 based ROM, but no matter how much I read I can't find a clear "safe" way to downgrade. If any of you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction as to HOW-TO revert to GB.

I know there are lots of posts about it but apparently there is no settling on which is the safetest way, so... any help would be appreciated.

Another thing is (and this is just me curious about it). When i check my phone region (*#code#IMEI#) my note shows as TTT and I can't find that on the Samsung Letter Codes, any ideas which is it?

Thanks for your help.

I'm in a similar position. I'd like to know if it's possible to go from stock ICS back to GB without wiping?

I don't want to lose my saved data (well, Angry Birds progress really) and I don't have root, so Titanium Backup is out. That way I could then get root, save my data then go nuts with updates.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modmatt:
D'Oh! Thank you to everyone who read this.

Simply clearing the cookies prevented the site from redirecting me to nirvana.

Sorry for wasting your time!

I'll keep this here though, so anyone else suffering the same situation can find it.

Hi folks,

I'm afraid this is one of the rare ocassions for me when intense googling doesn't reveal a proper solution - or I'm missing the proper search terms.

I recently installed then uninstalled the app "Doodle Scheduling", the Android App to use the popular Doodle.com Meeting Planner.

The app offers an option to redirect any link related to Doodle back to the app, so that you can use the app instead of the website when someone mails you a Doodle link. (This basically works like Play Store links, when the browser asks you, wether youd like to open them in the Play app or in browser.)

While this option worked pretty well (actually the only feature of the app that worked as expected) I decided to dump the app, as it is probably the worst app I ever encountered.

Contrary to any other Android app that uninstalls without leaving any traces on the device, the Doodle app decided to keep the browser redirect hook. Now whenever I try to open a Doodle link the URL changes from "http://..." to "doodle-redirect://..." and the browser displays an error message like "You are not allowed to open this site" (My error message is in German).

Where in the android system are those redirect hooks managed? I'm rooted, so I 'm able to change config files all over the system. I'd be more than happy if someone could provide me with a hint, since at the moment I'm not able to use doodle at all from my phone. I am not willing to erase browser data as all my bookmarks would go down the drain as well...

Details if needed:

Motorola Defy

CM7.2

Stock Browser

Miren Browser (Problem exists in both browsers, Stock browser usually freezed via Titanium)

Thank you very much in advance,

modmatt
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
this type of settings is usually reset by going to Settings/Applications/ and pressing the "Clear defaults" button in the individual app settings, maybe the same trick would work in your case - ie. you could try to reinstall the app, and clear it's defaults before uninstalling?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modmatt:
Thank you for your solution. Unfortunately that was not the thing, as I hadn't had that application installed so I couldn't clear any defaults.

However I found the solution and wrote it above the first post.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Throb1231:
I have done a lot of reading her about rooting and updating my TF300. After getting a headspinning amount of information, I'd like someone to verify what I think I know.

I have a TF300, stock ROM, no root, running US .17. I have not received any updates after going to Settings/about tab/update and pressing the update button (I get "no updates found') I have cleared DM and CM client and rebooted several times, but no updates are found. I have tried on several WiFI networks I have access to.

1. I should be able to root using one of several one click methods I have found here, correct?

2. Once rooted and root keeper is installed, I should be able to update to .29 and keep root, correct?

3. A manual update to US .29, once rooted, will cause me to lose root, correct?

4. Will I receive Over The Air update once rooted? If not, how can I update to US .29 without losing root?

5. Is this the best path to take, or is there another path that would be easier for a newb like me (I know just enough about Android to be dangerous)? What I mean by another path is, should I manually update to US .29 and wait for a one click solution to come out later, all the while enjoying the new update.

6. All this is to fix some lag issues I have with all browsers....Tried Stock, Dolphin, Firefox, Opera...all the same. Some FC and others just hang for up to 30 seconds, even in Performance mode (With only one tab open!) So this will "FIX" those lag issues, correct?

Thank you for your time
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype7:
If you're still on .17, root with sparkyroot, save it with ota rootkeeper, update to .29 (if it isn't there, they've been posted in many places on the forums), and restore root. As for fixing lag issues, it depends on what you do, rooting alone won't change anything, but you can try out the different tweaks available.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype7:
Missed a couple of your questions, yes, you will still receive ota updates if you're rooted, as long as you don't unlock the bootloader. This is the easiest way to root too, all you need to do is follow sparkyroot's instructions and back up your root.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Throb1231:
One question always leads to another

Thank you! But of course, I now have just a few more questions.

I do understand rooting alone will not help me with my lag issues. I'm hoping the update to .29 will. I am not a power user, but I would like the option open to me later to install ROMs, hence why I want to root now.

1. I thought I had to unlock bootloader to root. With sparkyroot I do not?

2. Since I have not unlocked bootloader, will rooting alone void my warranty? I thinking not since I should be able to unroot with no trace, correct?

3. I thought, (or read somewhere here, I think) that if I do a MANUAL install, I would lose root and be unable to regain it. If I get an update PUSHED to me by ASUS, Ill be able to regain root with rootkeeper. Is that correct?

I'd like to thank everyone here, by the way, for all the information I have gotten in my 30 days of owning this tablet and lurking here.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
No need to unlock for root. They are completely unrelated. Just update manually and use THIS THREAD to root .29. There's even a one-click tool like you wanted. Don't forget to press Thanks for miloj.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasingvar:
Oh, and after you've updated to .29 and rooted; don't forget to use OTA rootkeeper to backup root.

If Asus releases a new update it may save your root.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype7:
He's still on the .17 software, so no need to do that. Just use the sparkyroot method, backup with rootkeeper and then update.

Edit to add that no, rooting will not void the warranty, just unroot before you need to send it back.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Yeah, he's still on .17, but he's not getting the OTA prompt. He wants to manually upgrade, and you can't restore root after a manual upgrade, so my advice still stands.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Throb1231:
Thank you both! Rooted with Sparky root and backed up with OTA rootsaver. Now I have downloaded the .29 update from ASUS webpage and installed. It says I have lost root.

I tried to restore root with OTA and it says SU restored, however it does not show that I have root access. Tring to use Titanium BU also shows I do not have root. :confused:

Tried then to go back to Sparkyroot and try again, but to no avail. Do I now have to downgrade back to .17 to gain root because I messed it up, or is there a solution? I was rooted for several hours before the upgrade to .29.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /dev/void:
No, you need to go to:

h tt p://forum.xda-developers.c om/showthread.php?t=1704209 (sorry for the chopped up link. I can't post links yet)

and root again.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype7:
Ah, ok. Didn't realize you couldn't restore if you updated manually.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Throb1231:
Yes, it is as I thought. Tried Sparkys and miloj's root program and I can not get root. I ran the program twice from my lap top. Driver's for TF300 show installed in Device manager (Windows 7). ASUS sync was installed in laptop and recognized TF300 but the program was not running during root attempt.

When I run Superuser and attempt to update SU binaries, I get "Failed" when it attempts pathway to write update.

Attempted to restore using OTA rootkeeper but all I get is "SU Restored". Check boxes indicate no root.

Any other ideas?

Confirmed I am on .29 from a MANUAL update.

Well, I can't think of anything else, you could just use the downgrade method, that's easy enough. The code really is just copy/paste though.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /dev/void:
Your problem is not with the superuser apk.

The actual root is when you write an "su" binary to system and makes it executable (there is some access control stuff in between, but it's what's happening in essence).

So - your trouble is not with the installation nor the messages from superuser.apk - it's with the actual rooting method.

Make absolutely sure your adb drivers are working and that you've got the files "debugfs", "su" and the other debugfs file on top of the .bat file, which is the installation script, in the same directory whilst running the .bat file.
