I loaded the new OS6 for my 9700 Bold and now my Gmail Mobile is not working proper. The only issue I see right now is not being able to reply to emails. I can select REPLY, and type the body but a click of the BKB Button to send it and or the BKB Square does nothing. I cant reply, copy etc etc. Just a dead screen. Nothing.

I have reinstalled and I have restarted and have done a hard boot as well. Any thoughts?

is it just the gmail on the device?,
or is it a program?
have you sent the service books down to your device from your device?
just need a bit more info please

It is the gmail downloaded software taken off the google site specific to Blackberry devices.
I haven't sent any service books to the device as I have never had to before. Its an odd problem to have as it seems like the program just decides to stop working.
Google for BlackBerry

Strange, I got the same issue. And I reinstalled mine after I updated to OS6.

Just add a gmail account to your bis and use it that way.

it maybe that the actual Application is not compatible with OS6 yet

My thoughts exactly.

I reinstalled for fun and it still would not work so I just BIS'ed it and it seems to be working fine. Oh well, one way or another! Thanks for the help.

[Calebrity]

it will come in time for compatibility as OS 6.0 grows and gets bigger as right now it is only out on a few devices from the factory.

The Menu button also stops working with Google maps, btw. When searching for a location in google maps, the button does nothing, no copy or paste or nuttin!

Thanks,

I'm also having problems with the search function in the Gmail app; it simply freezes for about 30 seconds, does nothing else (OS6, 344)

Unless you're using Google Sync, there's no need to install a Google app to your BB. BIS account will do what you need to when you add the Gmail account to it.

I dont agree; the Gmail java app - when working properly - provides a better service for mobile email than BIS, IMO. Also, some of us don't have a BIS account so the app makes an excellent alternative.

It would be nice however if Google updated it more frequently (no updates for over a year I believe) and allowed it to display HTML.
