Hello everyone. Me and my few friends in Pakistan are facing gmail sync issues. The sync is not working and hence the updated emails are not showing. Is this just me or others are facing the same issue? The youtube is being blocked over here so does it has to do something with gmail app?

what about push messaging in other applications like facebook messenger? is it working? what you can do is go to settings >applications manager> all applications> gmail and clear cache and data . or in the worst case you can go to settings >accounts> Google and remove account . after that log in again using the same account .these steps should solve your problem

Cleared cache and data, no use. It says waiting for sync but email not picking up. I guess it is a server issue with our region.

then it's the problem with your isp!
hello ,I suggest you to do it again the secont that you recommended jaidev.s (go to settings >accounts> Google and remove account . after that log in again using the same account )
synchronizer will work once all , I've tried too many times , currently does not recognize Account on play store ,after the above everything was okay...
Google had problems earlier on today with servers, so may be linked to that?
working fine now
sent from: designed for humans
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications

I have to hit refresh in the Gmail app to see my new emails. I checked all of the settings and they seem to be right.
Background data checked
Auto sync checked
Google account all checked to sync
Gmail App notifications checked.
I'm using RevoHD V6. I reinstalled the rom with full wipe and it made no difference. Everything else seems to sync fine.
Can anyone help?
I have exactly same problem like you. Sometimes my gmail is late to push emails up to 20min from the time the emails were sent. This happened since before I used SGS2, I think something is wrong with the gmail push server on Android. Because on iOS, the push works great
I hope we are not the only people in xda who have the same problem :/
same problem here. Since I updated to lpq google mail wont sync anything. Not even after hours. Only if I load the app he will show me new mails. Sync is enabled and everything checked within google account. Doesnt work with both 3g and wifi. Any ideas?
I solved it...tried a few different thing and dont know what exactly helped but heres what I did:
1. With Titanium Backup (will also work with free version) clear data of Google Play, Google Mail and Google Services Framework.
2. Reboot
3. Everything works fine

Hi there.
I have the exact same issue, but even doing all of this won't work.
I really need help there.

Try deleting your Google account from the account menu, restart and then log in to your account again.

Can you please elaborate a bit more on which data you wiped with titanium backup? I have the same sync issue on Galaxy Note 3
Hello!
I just changed to a new Galaxy S3 last weekend and there's still an issue that I have not been able to solve. When I go to the contacts app, contacts appear linked to their Facebook profile, but I cannot see their picture. In the synchronization options my Facebook account seems to be well added and the "Sync contacts" option is ticked. I just want every contact to appear with their FB picture the same way it used to happen in my already retired HTC Desire.
Any help with this?
Thank you very much!
i couldn't get this to work with the facebook app (which was the only reason i downloaded it) so instead i tried an app called "syncmypix" which did the pictures > contacts sync perfectly

CONTACT SYNC into the PLAYSTORE is for FREE and you can chose huge picture size!
Is there no way to get FB contact phone numbers (if they're on there) without using the official FB app (which doesn't seem to work)?
Try to delete the facebook sync and re-do it. Not sure if that will help.
Longshot: Delete the facebook app cache.
Thank you all for your replies. Most of them are the things a "more or less experienced user" would have done and, because of this, I had already tried them...
Using either "Haxsync" or "Contact Sync" there are still some contacts that I don't get well synchronized...
I have also tried to edit some contacts manually via my Gmail account adding the HTC Data type information that is supposed to link contacts with Facebook (lines lika <HTCData><Facebook>id:XXXXXXXXXX/friendof:YYYYYYYY</Facebook></HTCData>) but not even this way I've had success...
It's unbelievable how such a simple thing can bring so much trouble...
Ok, here's what I did to finally solve it.
With Haxsync, synchronize automatically the contacts the app recognised itself.
With Haxsync, synchronize all my other Facebook contacts. There's an option to do that, you have to select all your contacts from a list, one by one.
Link manually these contacts synchronized in previous step.
With Haxsync again, assign each contact it's HTC Facebook ID.
Now, with Contact Sync, do a synchronization with the "Sync by HTC Facebook ID" option ticked.
Done!
If you have a tidy list of contacts in Gmail, every one of them with its HTC Facebook ID, there's no way it can go wrong!
I use Facebook Contact Sync - might be better or worse than Haxsync, not sure - but it's free. It works but you have to do some manual labor to set it up. It could use some more features and support from the dev but at least it does the job...unlike the Facebook app...which is a total disappointment with syncing.

I've spoken with some devs about this and it's not possible because Facebook only allows addons to see/pull certain pieces of information. Birthdays, for example, can be set to private by FB users and so addons cannot pull that data - some people have it public so it works sometimes. I believe phone numbers are just completely off limits.
This works in Wifi connection only using the official facebook app.. It will not immediately load all the images specially if you have lots of friends but it will load it all.. If not try to clear your facebook app cache and data...
Using only mobile connection facebook is a failure, all the problems will start if you are in mobile connection :cyclops:

I have always tried the sync process with Wifi connection and the official FB app won't sync a single picture... It links most of the contacts and makes them appear with the FB logo, but it does not load the picture...

Wifi connection works for me... try clearing the data and cache of facebook or better reinstall the application then try to sync again using a wifi connection (make sure you clear the cache and data before uninstalling the app).. You may need to still wait for a while if you have lots of friend.
I'm only having problem if I use Mobile connection...
An additional question: do you know if we can make the contacts be shown with their Facebook name? This was possible with HTC Sense...
Im using the official Facebook for Android app and I have contact photos, phone numbers etc everything synching fine. And thats even with moving the data from one device to another.

What do u mean by manual labor?!... I am used to use this application on my HTC Desire and it was working fine but now it doesn't work... I face a problem after linking all the contacts that I can't make any calls or receive ... What type of configurations have you done ?! ...
Btw I tried this application on two different galaxy S3 device and I faced the same problem.

I am using friendcaster pro, but the normal version should work fine as wel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...fyFree&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
I have no issues and the best thing about that app are:
more function than original app
NO transferring of your SMS (unlike the original version from facebook, which does that)
nice UI
Make sure that contacts sync setting from facebook is enabled than try to logout from facebook app and log back on... It worked for me and now I have all my contacts pictures!
all the other applications doesnt sync numbers or emails from facebook only pictures !. can somebody tell me if there is a solution ? i tried all the posted solutions but non of them is working !
Hello all,
I've searched the forum, but posts either have not been answered or the solutions are not helping.
The issue here is that when I turn on the device, go to contacts and they are all there. After some time, may be 5-10 mins, someone calls me or texts or I go to contacts myself, there are no names stored, except for the device owner (me).
What I have tried to do:
- restart the device to see contacts (yes, that helps, but I don't want to restart my device everytime I want to make a call or receive a text message)
- from settings>applications>all tab>contacts => close application and clear cache buttons (not sure how they are in English), go to contacts app choose account which do I want to sync from, in my case its Google only, press sync contacts and voila, they are there. However, for only a few minutes again. If you repeat syncing without closing program and clearing cache, then it will not help.
- filter - doesn't help. Either Google option has many suboptions but no contacts or Google option is there but no sublists (i.e. all contacts, family, friends etc.)
- all my contacts ARE in Google account, which I can see via google.com/contacts - so this isn't the problem.
- device sometimes doesn't want to sync. it does not say it has not been synced, but I can see that the "Last time" it was synced was when it really synced contacts that I could see them, but not just now.
I do not want to use any "aftermarket" apps to view contacts, as I want my device to be as stock as possible.
The first day I bought PadFone 2 it advised me to upgrade to 4.1.1 Android, which I did, so I don't know whether it did work before.
Hope someone can help.
Sincerely,
Problem solved:
Uninstall your whatsapp messenger and the problem should be resolved on your padfone 2.
The problem is the conflict of address books of your native contacts app and of whatsapp contacts. They seem to be stored in the same directory.

Indeed theproblem was caused by whatsapp messenger conflict. At least thats what asus support told me. So we now need to wait for whatsapp to solve this problem. Whatsapp dev team, can you hear me?

There are also something else that causes problem. It happens to me again and I'm not sure what it is. Maybe Friendcaster or BuddyBuzz.

Not sure, as i do not have accounts assigned to these apps. Try removing your account info from buddybuz, then friendcaster. I dont think its buddybuzs problem, as it is a native app.

Uninstalled Whatsapp..still not working
Hey guys, I have uninstalled my Whatsapp, but it seems like the problem is still not solved. Have you guys had any luck with getting your contacts to work after uninstalling Whtasapp?
Perhaps its because I downloaded Kakao talk? it sucks anyways, because I am in a distance relationship (different countries) and we need to be able to keep contact either through Whatsapp or similar apps... if this will be a problem, then we will have a problem.
are you guys sure that this doesnt have anything to do with android it self?
Same for me here!!

Yes, this still continues to haunt my Padfone2! I´ve uninstalled WhatsApp Messenger and Everything worked nicely for about 10 minutes an then the error showd up again, this time with "FC" of Contacts.
I also have some other applications that tries to put in data in my Contacts and its:
- LinkedIn
- FB
- Skype
And I Think all of them ask "you" to sync with your Contacts - it might be some of those as well? I´ll have a go and uninstall them and then see what happends.
// Zeb
What I finally did was that I did a factory reset on the Padfone 2 and then started with installing WhatsApp first together with FB, Linkedin and Twitter (did not let FB, Linkedn and Twitter sync with my Contacts).
Then I connected to my Exchange 2010 at work and then finally everything was working smooth again.
Regards Zeb

How do you prevent you phone from syncing with FB ?
Same problem here and I don't use WhatsApp, FaceBook, Linkedin, Twitter or any other similar apps for that matter. I also have problem with contacts gets duplicated and the alphabetic order does not work at all.
I have now inactivated Google contacts and only store my contacts on the device and they seems to stay put now but the sorting and duplicating problem remains.
Something has to be done about this since this make the phone not very much of a phone...

Under "Accounts" in settings, there you can find your account for "Facebook". Click it and then untick the sychronize with Contacts.

Same problem, my solution
My Padfone 2 is now more than a half year old.
It keeps doing this "contact deleting thing" once a month!My Padfone 2 is now more than a half year old.
It keeps doing this "contact deleting thing" once a month!
My solution though is that go to contacts. Show contacts, uncheck FB, Twitter, Exchange mails. Everything except my Google Contacts.
I have all my Contact there.
After that I restart my phone,I do a complete Google Sync. Waiting for 5 minuts. And then all my contacts are back to normal.
But this is a very annoying habit the Padfone 2 has!
I really hope this will be fixed in a firmware update from ASUS.
This is my present firmware and Android version :
Android 4.1.1
Basebandversion M3.13.31-A68_101034
Touch Firmwareversion 1115991-30303033
sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"
<PeriodicSync period = "86400" />
</ Authority>

-Did you try deleting your Google account in accounts from your phone and then add it back? That might work. Since you checked online and your contacts are still on Google, it sounds like a sync-focused problem and not an account issue. Is your Google Calendar syncing? Also are other accounts syncing?
I once installed a rom (not Tasks) and the contacts did not show up until I reloaded gmail and sent myself an email. (I don't normally use Gmail, but did for that issue!)
Sorry, I don't have more recommendations!
Good Luck!

good job! However, I would be concerned that they may not sync or stay updated. . . You might still have a sync issue.
Does your calendar sync? Also gmail on the phone stays sync'd with the desktop /web versions? That's the issue!
