Well, I tried that ... Still not working ... I get all other email accounts .... Just my Gmail will not come through .... I have to manually refresh and then I have everything ... Guess I will try uninstalling Gmail app and then reinstall it (only thing i have not tried)

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. :confused:

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...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
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.

I'm glad you got it working though.

hello i have a Xperia play CDMA R800x LB and i was wanting an UPDATED rom list for the xperia play.

mainly because im bord of the stock UI and launchers use too much ram so if some one could point me in the right direction, i would greatly appriciate it. thanks :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
I've actually been wanting this too. From my research, the best you can find are GBTweaked, ICSTweaked, and DarkForest. I've tried GBTweaked, but have yet to try the others.

I've tried this rom. is your wifi broken? I cant seem get my wifi working with this rom nor cola6.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
You need to flash Wifi Kernels. By the way, that ROM has been updates from v6 to v7.1 You may want to check it out.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xElvizlex:
Thanks downloading now. would you happen to know what kernel works with a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
None. I learned this the hard way. In order to flash ANY kernel, you must have an unlocked bootloader. Also, you need to make sure the ROM matches the phone you have. To put it simple, GSM won't work with CDMA. Why? Because of the system and processor differences, Radio frequencies, and some other things. If you want the full potential, sped $20 on unlocking your Bootloader. If you don't want to, I highly recommend GBTweaked. I've got my Bootloader Unlocked, and I'm using that ROM until I can find a good Kernel and ROM that I like.

EDIT: Don't bother trying to flash a custom if your Bootloader is locked. Seriously. It WILL brick your phone. That's as simple as I can put it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xElvizlex:
Thanks for the info. ive been trying to find ways to unlock my bootloader but havent found anyway to unlock until a few mins ago. I emailed Alejandrissimo so see if i can get my bootloader unlocked. if i can then i will be going around to i find a rom to my liking.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recolor-shrink-spool:
Okay my question is:

Is it possible to go from an unrooted phone with the whole software stock to a custom ROM, while keeping your data (apps, appdata, settings, sms, etc.)? If yes, how?

I'm on software version HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1, and I stored all my apps and photos etc on my SD-card.

I already know that the easyest way to instal another bootloader (CWM) is the AAHK. I downloaded it. But it will perform a downgrade resulting in loss of data.

Also while flashing a ROM you must reset the phone.

What I don't understand is this: you don't need to reset the SD-card, but the new ROM won't recognise the apps on your SD-card, so do you need to delete all those files then?

I know that what I'm probably asking a very nooby question, but I really hope that somebody can help me out here.

Thanks in advance, koningjim!:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Take a look at this thread. Someone else had similar questions recently.

If by apps on the sdcard you mean apps you backed up with GoBackup or MyBackup or something similar, you will need to reinstall that backup app from the Play Store and use that app to restore your apps from the sdcard. If you mean with apps2sd, they're usually saved in a folder in the sdcard called .android_secure, and I know that 4ext recovery (and maybe others) wipes that folder when a new ROM is flashed. If the recovery doesn't, I would guess that it's wise to wipe it yourself.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recolor-shrink-spool:
Thank you very much for your response! This answers some of my questions, but not all. I hope the rest will be answered too.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
What else do you need to know?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recolor-shrink-spool:
What I don't understand is this: you don't need to reset the SD-card, but the new ROM won't recognise the apps on your SD-card, so do you need to delete all those files then?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
I'm assuming you are taking about the option that Android gives you to move apps to sd. I don't expect you to know this yet, since you haven't rooted yet, but before installing any ROM, you should do a full wipe. On my recovery, which is 4ext (and which I highly recommend you use after AAHK installs CWM recovery), it automatically wipes .android_secure (where the apps2sd are saved) in the course of a full wipe. If you choose another recovery, and it does not do so, I would recommend that you delete it yourself.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Not quite sure what you are asking. If you are talking about just the apk file, there shouldn't be any problems. No need to format the sd card.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recolor-shrink-spool:
OOw, I think I get it now! The apps are stored in .android_secure and not in another place in the SD-card. I already backed up my contacts, smses etc. So I guess there's no way to keep your appdata? Because you need root for that and for root you need to downgrade, which resets the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Just to clarify, the .android_secure folder is for apps moved to the sd using the Android OS's apps2sd capability. If you're referring to another method (like Titanium Backup or GoBackup or something), that's different. Those backup apps can back up your apps, but not app data, to the sdcard; you would then reinstall them using the same backup app once the new ROM is installed.

If you need to downgrade to root, I don't know of a method to keep your app data, since the downgrade would wipe the OS before you had the root capability necessary to back up app data. There might be one, but I don't know of one.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recolor-shrink-spool:
OK, nice! Now I'm rooted and downgraded. However, now I want to install 4ext Recovery. So I downloaded the 4extRecoveryUpdater.apk from their website. But my phone won't open and install it. When I click on it in downloads it just says "Can't open this file".

Please help?!!?!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked in Settings -> Security. Try opening it from another application, like a file manager.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recolor-shrink-spool:
Oh well.. this sucks! Just one day after I rooted and lost all my data, a new version of Titanium Backup comes out that can back-up app-data without root :(

Hey all, so new to the sgs3 as of yesterday, I remember finding a list that named off all the processes that you could freeze with Titanium for my sgs2... wondering if anyone has a list of removing the bloatware from our phones.

Seems with nothing installed, the phone is using almost 500 ram, where as the sgs2 was down to 264 on a boot...

So any and all help would be great

Also, is the cfroot the best way to go with rooting the sgs3?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] werked:
I really don't know. I would suggest maybe disabling bloat first and using your phone for a few days.... This way you can see if you've disabled something that you require. If all is good then freeze. Also, if you do run into problem, you can always go back to stock. I'd have to do some more digging to see the difference....

Hey guys

Everytime I flash CM 10, MIUI based roms or any kind of rom thats based on 4.1.1 (except the Samsung JB Leaks) I can't get Wifi signals. It just says "connecting" or something like that. Than it says not connected! WPA2 Key is 100% right. Is there any fix without flashing firmwares with odin?

Install an ICS ROM first, connect to WiFi, and then flash CM10/MIUI

wifi is more of a kernel issue, try changing the kernel and see:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juan Kerzhoff:
Is correct.

Flash stock ics via odin, root then flash your chosen rom as normal and youll have wifi.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleemLDJ:
You can't fix it without reverting what the leak JB ROMs have done.

Use this method. Proven to work.

Revert to ICS using wanamlite 2.3 ICS

I did it for mine and both wifi and NFC worked.

Steps:

1. Download wanamlite rom from http://netkups.com/?d=50f3150065651

(Download the torrent and then put it on your SGS3 SD card)

2. Make a nandroid backup of your current nightly from cwm

3. Wipe and factory reset

4. Install the wanamlite ROM from your SD card and boot up as usual.

5. After boot up and set up go to WiFi turn it on and try to connect to any network. Also turn our NFC on and off to make sure it works.

Go to settings and make sure your baseband version ends with "XXLH1"

IF ALL CHECKS!,

6. Boot into recovery and wipe/factory reset, install CM10 again or restore the nandroid back up you made.

*if you don't wipe/factory reset you might get bootloops"

7. After boot up and set up of your cm10, go to WiFi and connect. It will work. Also play around with NFC.

Your baseband version will remain "XXLH1"

Done!

Don't install JB leaks if you want to keep this alive for future cm10 nightlies.

Hello everyone,

I have recently bought a Lg optimus e900 and upgraded it to Windows phone 7.5 . The thing is I can not manage to install any .xap files from my windows 7 pc. I have tried various xap installing apps. they all tell me that my device is not correctly connected, that zune is not launched,or that it is not developper unlocked even though it is unlocked via MFG. Can someone that has managed to install third-party xap files for free on their upgraded lg optimus e900 explain me a precise procedure.

Thanks,
[Optimus 7 General] mister_no:
I managed to install third-party xap files on upgraded phone to latest WP7.5 (7.10.8773)

Procedure for permanent developer unlock is:

1. Install the MFG app by dialing: ##634#

2. Open the MFG app. The password is: 277634#*#

3. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry

4. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

5. Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"

6. Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD.

7. Leave input data box empty and tap "SET".

8. The output should be 0.

9. Now enter "1" in the inputbox and tap "SET".

10. The output should be 1.

11. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"

12. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD.

13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".

14. Output result should be "0".

15. Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD.

13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".

14. Output result should be "0".

Then close all windows and restart the phone.
[HTC One S] lbrfabio:
Hi :)

I'm interested in buying this desktop dock charger (12$) dx.com/u-138881

I'm not sure about the output voltage though. It says 4.2v but in the official power adapter is 5v

The output current is the same.

Will this cause any problems or the phone will simply recharge slower than usual?
[HTC One S] lampel:
Generally, voltage is more important than current. Electronics generally expect a certain voltage but can compensate for changes in current (within reason); i.e. lower current means slower charging... Seeing that that is made in China and shipped anywhere in the world for free I would assume that you get what you pay for and I personally wouldn't use it - but that is just my opinion.
[HTC One S] lbrfabio:
Beside the lower voltage I had my reserve too for the quality of the product. Considering the value of the phone I'll probably wait a little bit and buy the KiDiGi's Dock
[HTC One S] veehexx:
the KiDiGi dock is pretty good, bit of a knack to making it connect properly without scratching your phone, and theres maybe a 1mm lean from perfect horizontal because the USB port sits slightly too high, but good other than that :)
