I asked this originally over on Android forums, but Im not getting a response there, so thought I would try here instead.
Will try and explain the situation as best as I can.
The kit
T-Mobile Pulse Mini (Froyo)
HP Laptop (Win 7)
Easy Tab (Froyo)
The Problem
My kids have been using their phones as their primary device for nearly a year. Contacts stored in it have always synced with Gmail and appear fine on the Laptop so the account is syncing ok.
For xmas they both received Easy Tab's, a cheap Froyo tablet. It looks the biz and performs well. However, we cant get the contacts or calendar to sync.
Gmail mail syncs fine. The tablets have complete access to the internet via Wifi.
We had a market issue when the tablets were first used, but this was resolved by a Force Stop and Clear Data of Google Services Framework, and were advised to do the same to resolve the contacts/Calendar issue, but this hasnt worked.
When going into the contacts settings on the tab Gmail doesnt appear in accounts, only their Twitter accounts, and I cant figure out how to get Gmail to show up in there.
If I go to Accounts & Sync the Gmail account appears there along with the Twitter account, however on going into the Gmail account sync settings the only option in there is Sync Gmail, where as on the phone there are options to sync calendar and contacts.
I really need some help with this to make these tablets complete for the kids as they are great devices, but simple things like sending an email arent as easy as they should be because the contacts list isnt there with the email addresses.
Cheers in advance.
Hello crew,
So I have my HTC One working fine, but today I noticed something that sporadically I've been noticing very much: every time I enter the Account Settings, I notice that there is always a Sync Error on my Google account. I only have one Gmail account added on my phone and everything else (twitter, tango, WhatsApp...) seam to all sync just fine.
I've tried troubleshooting this in the past but no luck. Here's what I have enabled on my Gmail account Sync:
App Data, Calendar, Chrome, Contacts, Drive, Gmail, Google Currents, Google+, Google+ Auto Backup, People Details, Sound Search for Google Play and Tasks. All seam to be working just fine.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to clear this error?
Note: I have a virgin phone: no unlocks, no root, no 3rd party customization.

Did you ever get this fixed? I am having the same issue with Google Account showing a sync error all the time.

I have seen this on my HTC one after flashing a nandroid more that a few hours old.
Deleting the gmail account and re-adding it fixes it for me.
try removing your Google account and then reboot and readd it again.
Im having the same issue as of yesterday
Edit: Found how to resolve this.........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42257807&postcount=7
On you PC go to: https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard
Under Account -> Connected applications and sites
Delete all HTC ones by clicking the revoke button on the right side.
Remove your account under sync under your phones settings.
REBOOT
Re add your google account
DONE
I use multiple Google Accounts on my phone, which up until now has not been an issue. I currently am on an unmodded S5 and having nothing but problems. One of my accounts is actually my fiances where it is synced for Google Keep only. We use it to sync daily notes, to-do lists, etc. This used to work without issue.
My phone however now is attempting to force me to sync to other items. It without prompting has been selecting to sync Google+ along with Google Photos.
Also whenever anything is done with photos (gallery opened, camera, etc) it shows all my other Google Accounts. They are only syncing email outside of my main account. These are all showing the account requesting permission to access the photos.
Has anyone ever had these issues before? Any remedy? I have attempted to remove the accounts and re-sync them with the correct permissions. The issues continue to occur.

Bump- anyone experience anything similar?
So I have two gmails I only use for email (work, etc.). Thing is I've gotten confused a couple times and sent Hangouts from them to contacts, logged into google plus, etc. So I'd like to keep the account but only enable it for Gmail. I already disabled sync on everything else, but it still shows up as selectable in all programs. Any ideas?
I'm currently on Android 4.4.4 -CM11, having the issue of all synced accounts spontaneously disappearing during idle time or at latest after phone is restarted. This happens with all synced accounts (Whatsapp, Viber, Pushbullet etc.) and usually even the services aren't available on list of available accounts to sync. Even the apps fail to link with google account out of the app. Only accounts that don't dismiss from sync are by Google. Is that kind of conflict or something corrupted? I think there must be some big mess because the apps sometimes succeeds to ling to google and sometimes fails.
I tried to remove all google accounts and manually re-add but the issue persists. Any help will be appreciated.
