New Samsung alert! Score a Galaxy S21 5G for as little as $99 right now
"Gmail Application" keeps trying to reload/screen flickering
- I have the same exact problem on my unmodified Samsung Galaxy S. It began last evening (3/22), a little later than most other posters. Only on the primary Gmail account (I have three). What I have noticed:
- Under Settings--Accounts & Sync, there is a sync error for the main account. The sync error is linked to Picasa Web Albums. Unchecking sync for Picasa Web albums doesn't fix the problem.
- The other two email accounts work fine if I can get to them. I spend a lot of time pressing "change account" to get there. The odd thing: My main account is not acknowledged in the list, as though it doesn't exist.
- I can send emails to my main account and are received on both the web and phone. I just can't access them on the phone.
- I have lost all links to Facebook friends in contacts. I'm not sure this is related; just thinking it might be.
I am very glad to have found this thread, because I was about to do a factory reset. Here's hoping Google fixes it soon! I have spent far too much time trying to fix this problem!03-23-2012 09:47 AMLike 0 - Under Settings--Accounts & Sync, there is a sync error for the main account.

BTW, I cannot delete my account, could add another tho
And the unit is an ONIX, from Aldi.
I tried this from another post but it did not work: It happened to me and I fixed it.
Type gmail on your browser tab main menu on the keft handside of your Samsung mobile --> settings--> advanced--> enable plug-ins --> off and then turn back on.
Good luck. : but it did not work01-10-2015 07:39 PMLike 0
