I have sort of the opposite problem. on my note 8 I used to be able to swipe on a texting thread to call the person. on the 9 swiping only seems to work from within the call log.

Thanks, if this is my issue, with 10000s of email how do I identify the culprit....its like finding a needle in a haystack.

Can someone please, please check this for me? On the google security page for "Apps with access to your account" is GMAIL listed as one of the allowed apps for you guys? For me, I only see google play movies listed like in the attachment

Sorry for all the posts, but the more I think about this I am starting to think its not the gmail app itself but rather some setting (or something corrupt) in how sync syncs gmail. The issue must be with sync not my devices, not the gmail app because on the same devices, other gmail accounts...

I tried on multiple android devices and it doesn't work, so I doubt its the devices. Adding other gmail accounts to the same devices works fine. I also tried 2 factor.....ready to pull my hair out.

yes I have, it didn't work. I also tried deleting cache, etc and by disabling it defaulted to the original version of gmail and it still didn't work.

yes I tried a factory reset

Ok, so the inbox app works fine, but I really need/want to use GMAIL. Its so weird that it doesn't work on either of my android devices. Could google security settings somehow, somewhere be blocking the android gmail app??

Power saving isn't on. I have the same issue on my tablet so I am convinced its not a device problem but rather something with my account which is only affecting android but works fine on IOS. Also if i add my son's gmail account to either device it works perfectly fine so definitely not my...

thanks just tried 2 factor, unfortunately it didn't help

Thanks tried that just now, all it makes me do is sign into my google account again on the device, and I am back to square one....everything syncs except gmail. I am convinced it has to be a setting somewhere in my google profie not allowing just gmail to sync. I just cant figure it out

On my IOS device (ipad and iPhone X, I still have gmail app loaded but only use while its on wifi) I use the official GMAIL app on ios and android, don't think it uses 2 factor. I do not use a mac, I use a windows PC. This is totally driving me nuts

No, but should that make a difference you think? Contacts, calendar everything else syncs fine its just gmail. Plus even when I used my Note 8 before, I have always had an ipad with gmail working on it at the same time.

Guys, I really need help and at my wits end. I left the android platform for a bit to IPhone X....Needless to say I want to use my Note 8 again. For the life of me, I cannot get gmail to sync anymore. I tried removing my google account, I tried a factory reset, I tried adding my google...

thanks!!
