| 1316922 | 2012-12-20 00:47:00 | Settings --> Accounts check google is there and the green sync icon is active *That instruction is for ICS/Jellybean so might be different for you Here we go: 1) Open the play store and search for gmail, make sure it doesn't need updating. If it does, do so. 2) Send yourself a test email from your own account or from another one it doesn't matter as long as you have a blank email, now open gmail on your phone. Nothing? Right, onwards. 3) In the Gmail app right click/menu key (I'm not sure what it's actually called) then go to settings --> youremail@gmail.com then under the heading "Data Usage" make sure Gmail Sync is ON, if not. Enable it. 4) Quit Gmail, we must go deeper! Open system settings --> Accounts and Sync (or something about sync, I can't remember the process for Gingerbread anything Pre ICS sorry) and make sure Sync is turned ON and all the boxes are ticked etc This *should* get it working. If it doesn't we shall progressively try bigger hammers until we get a functioning root out of this phone! Dude, sorry for the late reply - was offline for a while and it's been crazy with the lead up to Christmas, as I'm sure everyone else will agree on! I don't know how, or what I did, but after some fiddling around and turning phone off and back on, hey presto I managed to get it all working again.... Thank you for all your help :) enjoying the much quicker phone, and I'm still playing around with the settings to tweak it. |

| 1316924 | 2013-01-16 23:30:00 | One question! If I install the Facebook app onto this phone, will I be able to uninstall it? (Wasn't able to on the stock version) |

| 1316925 | 2013-01-16 23:57:00 | Yes you can always uninstall apps. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1316926 | 2013-01-17 00:04:00 | Yes you can always uninstall apps. Cheers. I wasn't able to uninstall it before, so wasn't sure how they work on custom ROMs. |

| 1316927 | 2013-01-17 00:10:00 | If you couldn't uninstall it pre root, it would be because it came preinstalled. Most preinstalled apps cannot be uninstalled on an unrooted phone. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1316928 | 2013-01-17 02:42:00 | ^^ This man speaks the truth. However even now, you can disable preinstalled apps :) |
