You can but your speakerphone mic and regular mic will be switched around

NM, not sure what I need to check here. I just don't understand why it started acting like this lately and how come a full wipe didn't solve the problem. Thanks anyways.
There has to be some setting you're missing. Are you sure you have "sync gmail" ticked under your Google account in the settings menu? If you do then there is something, some app or setting that is telling your phone not to sync gmail. Is sync turned on in your toggle bar in the pulldown menu?

Yes, sync gmail is checked and sync is turned on.
Either it does not sync, or it doesn't sync immediately when an email arrives. Say I receive an email that I see on my PC. The Gmail app won't immediately sync it to the phone. The new email will be synced long time after it arrives, or if I send an email from the PC Gmail it will trigger a sync in the app.

Son of a #$!%€.... It just happened again at 10:36:54.. It seems to happen when i tap the power button to unlock the phone.. Not every time though.... I wonder if my phone is killing the sd cards.. Over the course of me owning this phone, I had an 8gb generic that went bad, bought a 32gb, and it went bad, so I RMAed it with sandisk. Now this is happening :/

--

It's really odd that I tap the power button, it hangs, and then says that the external card was unexpectedly removed. then it prepares the card and all is well..
After re-installing the ROM, my battery drain issues seem to be solved and all is mostly well, except.... that the above issue is affecting my phone too, but instead of the external SD card it is complaining about the internal card, which of course is not replaceable. After not minding for the past few days, today the SD card was suddenly reported as damaged but it was still accessible. The disk error checking tool came up clean, no problems fixed or found. Both internal and external cards are formatted as FAT32. I am at a loss, so if this rings a bell to anyone, please let me know. Note that this issue never happened before on Unnamed Gingerbread ROM, so it is unlikely that the SD card is suddenly broken with switching the ROM. Also the fact that this happens on power button pushes indicates that this is not a random problem with accessing the SD card.

Your cure is to use Odin and reinstall factory rom......before you do this look for mr-cook thread that do full wipe. ...one that do preload also then. ..use custom rom that install preload...and you will be fine. ...just remember cwm don't backup preload so if you ever used some rom that wipe your preload....you will need to use Odin to install full factory rom and do all over again cwm .....root....so keep that on mind and if you install custom rom make sure that you know your partitions are not replaced or erased by other rom....sooner or later you will need to go back all over again .....:D
Switching back and fourth between lower and higher android is very risky especially if you use encryption. ...so be careful. ....many roms leave bunch of junk after switched to different rom.....
There is also script for safe wipe from same developer that don't touch preload. ...always do 2-3 wipes before flashing new zip....cwm are known for not doing everything in one run.....:thumbup:
Note
Also any time you jump on somethin new watch what is done in cwm during flash what was mounted.... unmount and so on and keep some handy note book so you know how to come back where you come......JB 4.1.2 AND 4.2.2 are very tricky for internal and external cards that mount and set different so this is somethin you will need to master to overcome in future and more expensive android toys you will be rooting. .....
Kernels
Are another things that will make you scream .......just go slow ask questions. ....don't think you will be seen less smat from other people ....we all did come this way learning from each other and become better

Great, thanks for the info here. Just to be sure, can you point me to the correct thread of the factory rom, I should be installing before loading SHOstock3 again. Do I use an unrooted Gingerbread ROM, which was origianlly on the device? Thanks so much.

First what type of phone you have
Second do you wanna go to JB last factory rom ....if yes you will found thread just use search button in your type of phone and this is completely stock no root nothing extracted .....you will loose root and cwm.....let it run fot couple days then go again to root cwm and after that take time to read ask questions before you flash. ....and always ....im not joking here check MD5 sum to make sure you don't have corrupted file.....ALWAYS

It's not supposed to be constantly polling for new email. How long are you talking about here. Mine syncs about every five minutes or so. Which is too much for me as it is but there's no way to change that.
If you go into settings, tap the Google act from the menu and it will tell you when it synced last. If it's doing it constantly you're going to have battery issues. Also a weak signal could be causing delays

The phone is an AT&T I777. I do not really care for what ROM I run in the interim, as long as I can afterwards install SHOstock3. If there is a JB factory ROM that would be fine.
