I get this error every other day it seems. I have Auto Sync set to ON and I get this error where Microsoft Hotmail would have red reload sign with a note at the bottom saying "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Anyone else experience this and are there any resolutions?
Thanks

This has been happening for as long as I can remember on various ROMs and versions.
Once I add my Hotmail account, when I go to settings -> incoming and select to delete messages from the server when I delete from the phone, the app FCs.
Anyone else notice this/know what's going on?
I don't use Hotmail but every now and again someone sends to the account and it ends up getting ignored. Would be nice to be notified but not a big deal at all!
Not the answer to your problem, but this is what I do.
I just go to www.hotmail.com in the browser. Keep yourself logged in, and when you're logged in, add that page to your bookmarks. That way you can access it fast by opening your browser and the mobile hotmail page looks better than the email app I think.
Ofcourse, you won't get notified when you get new mail.
Thanks for the suggestion - but not really what I'm after.
I would literally get 1 message every 4 or 5 months and it's usually one I'd like to have known about 3 months before remembering to check hotmail.
More than anything it'd be good to know if this happens for everyone else or just me
Have you set up Hotmail as POP3?

Hi there
I've got a problem with my sgs2 and M$ Exchange 2010 SP1.
If I connect to my Exchange account on my SGS2 it works perfectly. After a couple of days, the appointments are not synchronized any more. In no direction.
If I delete the Exchange account on the SGS2 and reconfigure it, everything works again for a couple of days.
I had a look at the log with acatlog. What I found is this:
Code:
07-25 08:32:26.885 E/Kalender(TS)<521>(10509): Uncaught exception in EasSyncServicejava.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
07-25 08:32:26.925 E/Kalender(TS)<521>(10509): Sync ended due to an exception.
Does anyone know this problem?
Thanks for your Help.
Kind regards,
Steff
Hi, I've got the same problem in Italy ...
From last Saturday, I didn't sync my Google calendar with my SGS2. I think it is a Google problem, but I like to understand what happen ???
No problem about contacts and mails with Google sync.
P.S.:
I've installed yesterday the latest ROM 2.3.4/KG3 with the same problem.
Ciao
Ciao ritima
Sounds interesting. Unfortunatly I'm not using the google calendar. I've got a sync problem with my exchange.
Perhaps it's a calendar app problem?
Kind regards,
Steff
Ciao Steff,
I think not, because the problem was also with before ROM 2.3.3 (from Saturday afternoon). I think there is a problem with Google sync, at least for some Users, like me ...
Ciao
Hi...
Yeah. In your case, it sounds like a google problem. Unfortunatley am i not syncing with google.
Anyway. Good luck

I also have a problem with the calender sync to my exchange server. It works perfectly for a while, including changing group appointment times etc, but then suddenly stops syncing with no warnings about it not syncing. Wouldn't be such a prob except there isn't even an error to tell me my calender is not up to date.
I know its not a server problem because my laptop syncs fine and so does Touchdown on the same device. Unfortunately Touchdown calender only syncs to the internsl Touchdown calender and does not end up in the common Android area otherwise I would give up on using the Samsung exchange sync for calender.
So no-one has any fixes for this apart from removing the account and creating it again? It has happened with every rom I have tried up to G6.
Same problem for me
Hi Guys,
Same problem for me: Syncing calander of my sgs2 with exchange 2010 server stops working after a while. Contacts and e-mail still sync perfectly. When i throw away the account and reinstall it again, everything works fine again for... First time a month, but now only one day.
My laptop syncs fine, also a old windows mobile phone still syncs and a colleage of me using the same server also has no problem with android on his HTC.
Has anyone an idea??
Thanks,
Geerten
So anyone found a solution for this problem???? I've had it for ages and changed roms a number of times.
I think mine stops syncing if I use wifi to sync but I have in no way thoroughly checked this. I only sync once a day (contacts and calender) as I use touchdown for my emails and this is nearly always while I am on mobile data.
I wish it at least gave an error.... but instead it just doesn't sync with no errors and means if you aren't careful its easy for a meeting to be missed as its not updated to my mobile.
I have same problem
Mine has been fine for months and forgot about the issue. But it reared it's ugly head again out of no where.
Hello guys. I got my sgs2 with stock firmware 2.3.3 two weeks ago. I was able to set up every account flawlessly except for my exchange office email. It keeps displaying 'set up could not finish/ Cannot connect to server'. All my entries are correct and my network too is good. I tried connecting on my former device, samsung vibrant, and worked flawlessly. So also on some other devices i tried. I have read in this forum several solutions and inhave tried them all. Connect through wifi , using the exchange account under 'accounts and sync ', using 'edge' only type of connevtivity , i have also updated to stock 2.3.5 and still having the same problem. I dont want to change the email apk as some did and will prefer using the stock email app (not third party app)
Please, does anyone having any idea on getting my exchange account to connect on the sgs2? I need to sync my exchange contacts, mails and calender. Will appreciate every response to solving this problem.
Thanks guys

I know you don't want to use a third party app but your problem may be on the administrator side of your account. Try the demo of Touchdown Exchange and see if that works. If it does, then you know it's a samsung problem.
Btw, there is a limit to the number of phones you can add to your email account with exchange. Each time you put on a new rom, it treats this as a new phone. Through owa or outlook, check how many mobile devices are registered to your account.
Setup for Office 365 Exchange Account (Small Business)
I just got my SGS2 today and tried setting up my Office365 Exchange account.
I ran into issues, getting a similar error message to OP.
The solution was:
1st Screen
- on the 1st setup screen, fill in username and password
- choose "Manual Setup"
- when asked what type of account, choose "Exchange Activesync"
2nd Screen
- there are 3 fields: a) Domain:user name b) Password c) Exchange Server
a) format is domain\user name (i.e. whatever.com\[email protected])
b) already filled in
c) normally, server address is m.outlook.com when using Office365. Samsung dares to be different - you need to find your actual server address, not the generic one.
Go to this address to get details for filling in these fields: http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/dd936215.aspx
Once I accepted the various activation messages, an error message flashed very briefly, but then sync was established and I synced very quickly.
I think the message was: "Cannot open connection with server due to security error", but I can't be sure
I ignored that error message, as sync seems to be working perfectly, with "push" activesync.
This was discussed on the Office 365 forum. Here's the link: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/160/t/5282.aspx
I realise you may not have Office 365 Exchange, but I'm posting this in case it may be of help in some way.
P.S. Must say, I'm very chuffed that Samsung's native Exchange client supports Tasks and SMS sync, in addition to the standard options. SMS Sync seems faster than it was on HD2...
thanks guys. I really appreciate all the responses. I have tried out the solutions provided . I installed the touchdown app and it worked straight away. my mails, calendar, contacts & talks sync completely.
I also read through the links provided above and really never made any error initially on setting up my exchange account. Though I still followed through the steps/settings for exchange setup and still encountered the problem. one thing I like to clarify is that I am not sure if the server in my office is 'office 365' has being explained on that site. I think we use the exchange 2007. if the exchange server type is the issue, will using one if the email apk posted under themes and apps section work for me if installed? Because, I really will prefer using a stock email app. or is there any other way I can get the stock email app to work without giving me those error messages?
Also, will installing one of the custom roms get it working?
Hi all
I've a stock UK TF201running 2.6.39.4-00003 - xxxxx
My tablet used to update everything really swiftly and check the registered email account regularly. However, for the last 8 weeks or so, my calander hasn't updated and emails come through as and when. Quite often Gmail closes of it's own accord on opening with an error message allowing me to report it. I've been sending these off regularly but no remedy has been forwarded.
When I look at the "Account & Sync" page under settings, I see taht the Google account has a red sync circle by it instead of a green one (as I have on the Skype below it). Tapping on the @gmail.com account shows "Sync Browser", "Sync Calander", "Sync Contacts" and "Sync Gmail" all with a apostrophe by them and a check mark ticked. "Sync Google Photos" and "Sync Picsa Web Albums" however do not have a syncy symbol or the apostrophe but do have the checked symbol. At the bottom of the page almost like a note, there is the sync symbol with an apostrophe and the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
Does anyone else have this or know how to rectify it? I've looked through the web and a number of phones running Gingerbread say to enable background data to get rid of this. I'm on ICS and this option is not available.
As another diagnostic test, I tried adding another gmail account that I have. This also shows exactly the same symptoms as my existing google account "experiencing problems back shortly" message.
It is very frustrating and I really don't think that Google are going to provide a solution seeing as it's been ongoing for over 2 months and they haven't even acknowledged this as a problem. Having said that, it may just be that some of my settings need amending or something.
Desperate for your advice and suggestions.

Hi guys,
I just noticed recently that my DNA is giving me this error under accounts and sync. It seems like this may be a wide spread issue for all types of Android phones, but I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this. The strange this is that it looks like everything is synced properly, and even when I drill down into the actual items that are syncing, there are no errors. I'm not sure if it is the rom that I am on (UKB), but I would really like to clear it up if possible. I have tried deleting the data in Apps for the various items listed, but this does not seem to help. I even booted into recovery and cleared the cache, to no avail.
Thanks guys,
Steve
Alright, I just did a full wipe, installed UKB 1.3 with Cubed stock kernel, and I am still getting that sync error. Is anyone else seeing this?
I have had this issue on CODIS, UKB and the battery plus ROM
It syncs everything fine, but it does show a red sync icon and say its experiencing problems. I've just learned to deal with it as everything still works fine.
--removing and re-adding my google account does nothing
--unchecking each option (calendar, contacts, gmail etc.) one by one to see if a particular causes the problem,...does nothing to help
Just wanted to letyou know you are not the only one with the issue.
I'm having the issue where the gmail app syncs fine but if I read/delete emails and go back to my computer, all the changes I did on my phone didn't sync with my computer browser. Anyone know how to fix that?

I had that issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling gmail app from the market fixed it for me.

Ah, thanks for the replies guys. At least I'm not the only one . At least it's not in your face screaming at you, so I can learn to ignore it.
I'm having the sync issues myself, and I'm even on full stock ROM. Just wanted to let you know. My account is on two-step authentication - are other people also using two-step? Common denominator?

I believe that is the problem. I had an error in Google Internet sync. I fixed it by going to Google dashboard on my computer and clicking "Websites authorized to access the account." Go down to Application Specific Passwords.
Install the Google Authenticator on the DNA. Then register it by generating a new application specific 12 digit password. The Authenticator app will then generate the six digit codes you'll need when asked to be able to sync your bookmarks in the browser or sign in the Google search homepage. Anyway it worked for me.
For me it was Facebook calendar that couldn't sync. I unchecked it and the error went away. It looks like it can be any part of any of your accounts that will trigger that message. If you go into each one, it will show which one is having the problem.
