Hey, I was having this problem on my new HD 2017 received two days ago. I decided to set up the built in email program because I can't live without email, and after setup -- my gmail app suddenly works. I wonder, if you set up the Amazon app perhaps it gives gmail the permissions it needs to run?

Did you install the google play services?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gomcse:
Actually, I love Amazon. And my Fire tablet was $99 base price on black Friday for a 10" HD. I paid for the no ads option just because it was a extra $10 and will save me from thinking I have an adware virus, and I got a 64 gig model. Then I installed a 128gig card. Absolutely amazing. I have an ipad Air and there's no way the ipad comes close to the options I have with the Fire. I'm blown away.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10speed:
This worked for me too!

I similarly set up my gmail on the Amazon email app, and now the gmail app works without crashing. Thanks for the tip gomcse.

Awesome!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Joe:
Simple: it's because they are trying to make it clear to the end-user that the device still belongs to them. The huge "Amazon" logo in the back is an indication of that, as the surreal price for the machine (subsidized by in-app sales).

And as I mentioned, "in-app" sales everywhere they touched Android gives me the impression I'm walking through a minefield, ready to be relieved of 5-10 extra bucks every time I click something "wrong". Didn't like this at all, almost sent the device back right away before switching to the Nova Launcher...

BTW, I'm a Prime customer, and I use their app on my phone with no qualms (already bought a Phone with a Phone on their app, talk about perversion), because in my Lineage OS rooted and hacked device I know I'm doing it in MY terms, not theirs. The Fire OS stuff and their platform just gives me the clear impression I'm about to be ripped off and loaded with stuff I neither want nor need :D

Rooting and getting rid of their oppressive Eco-system will give me the impression of making my own choices again. At which point I may even install the Amazon app on the Fire :D :D :D

The fix for this, for me, was to install Google Contacts and import my contacts via a vcf file.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Do you have chrome installed or the Google app itself?

EDIT: install chrome and the Google app. Then sign in through Chrome and load the Google app. Chrome is a big syncing factor. That might work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CptanPanic:
Unfortunately yes I have Chrome and am signed in, and also have the Google app which shows as signed in also. Note I did the turn-off wifi trick and I can then open Gmail and Inbox. I disabled auto download attachments, in Gmail, and options doesn't exist in Inbox, but to no avail. Still crashes when I turn on wifi. I am thinking that maybe hooking up to adb on computer to see if I can tail the log when it crashes to see if there is an exception thrown.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Weird. I wish I knew what I did to get Gmail to work on mine. I never had this issue. Sometimes it just won't work. Maybe this time Amazon stopped it for good.

G-mail crashes with wireless connection active New Fire 10" 2017

I found it still crashed if I disabled the automatic download of attachments.

So I disconnect wireless then open Gmail.

I then reconnect wireless and the new emails download in the background.

I then disconnect wireless again and open Gmail.

I then type and reply to emails and send to the send box.

When I reconnect wireless with Gmail in the background the emails are sent.

Dec 7th 2017

The OS has updated to 5.6.0.0

Apart from once the problem seems to have gone away and Gmail is working normally when connected to wireless.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiser47:
So I originally had this issue only with emails with attachments. But now I can't even get Gmail to stay open for a few seconds. Any ideas? Is Gmail working on anyone else's fire well?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
HD 10 can be rooted now. Should be possible to grand android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_DOWNLOADS to gmail. I didn't time to root yet, but that's idea worth to try.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
That probably won't work. I'd be surprised if it did. You can try installing it as a system app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
Well, should work if permission is the problem. If Amazon blocks all Google apps (Youtube is on the list from 1st of January) then this tablet, regardless price, was waste of money for me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
They can't remove apps you didn't get from Amazon's store. In order for the system to accept the permission manually, the shell needs to consider it interchangeable. If it doesn't, then root makes no difference. Hence why a possible fix with root, might be to install it into system.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
Of course but they may block sideload/play store/services with next update. I agree, putting into system directory may help.

First I have to block update and then see what can be done.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiser47:
Already tried making it a system app. No change. Still crashes. That was my first thought. I'll try the permissions command next
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Make sure to give the APK the proper permissions. Look at other apps in system and make sure Gmail has the same
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiser47:
So I did check permissions. And in fact, installed app opps to try and fiddle with permissions. End up soft bricking and having sideload the amazon 5.6.0.0 bin file (second time doing this, thank god I figured out this way to recover). Recommendation: don't use app opps app. BTW, app opps did not see any permissions that gmail app was not already granted when it worked.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakshi:
No, not yet. I'm looking into it. But at least Gmail stays up and works until you try to download an attachment from an email. We've made one small step in fixing Gmail.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
With root, maybe we can replace download manager or make one from Google as default.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
This might be something to look into. Go to the play store. Download and install Settings Database Editor. Read the app description and instructions first. When done, open it and look for "use_google_mail" in any of the three columns. If you find it, tap it and delete the value so it's empty. Don't delete the whole setting though. Amazon is blocking it in settings somehow. Probably with a code like that. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Global.html#USE_GOOGLE_MAIL

Open the Settings Database Editor app. Tap on global. Tap on add setting at the top.

Leave second box empty

Tap save settings

Reboot and see if that addition held

I don't know if it will work, but it won't hurt.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagfan:
Based on the deselecting the automatic download of attachments, I decided to not sync Gmail as well. So I followed the steps to disconnect the wiFi, go to settings and uncheck both options, connect the wiFi and presto the app is no longer crashing and I can access my already synced downloads and mail. The best workaround then is to allow the app to crash to get your new mail through sync and then do the above. You will need to control the sync manually. After further checks, the issue may only be with syncing Gmail and not the downloading of attachments. You can keep this option selected and Gmail app will work but you would still need to manually turn the sync on and off (through connecitng/disconnecting wiFi ) to use the app without crashing.

So I got an update to Gmail today from the play store and it seems to have fixed all the issues. Don't want to jinx it but I can even enable auto download, look at emails with attachments, and sync up to 30 days worth of mail!! Have others got the update and can confirm?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:

Now how to prevent system update for good? No root firewall didn't prevent the latest one for me (even I've blocked all related apps/services).

That is ridiculous. Not to be rude but neither of those are solutions just not so satisfactory work arounds. What compelled you to request this?

Clearly there was an issue since the latest update to Gmail seems to have fixed the issue entirely for several users. No work around needed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oco:
Based in your definition of solution there is none for issues in non-rooted Fire tablets forcing GAPPS and non Amazon Appstore apps. For this thread issue it is solved by those workarounds, only reason to keep it open would be if any user not following them report his Gmail still crashing.

4) Reboot device.

Just to let everyone know you can very easily fix this problem, as long as you have a rooted phone, here is another easier way, if you're getting the error message or Knox and cannot access Samsung health because it could say your device is compromised Etc. this is how you easily can fix it.

Download build prop editor, open app, Grant it root access, once granted scroll down the list until you see

"ro.config.tima" , beside this you will see a number 1, edit the number 1 to 0 and save changes and reboot phone.
