Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone else is having this same issue, and hopefully if anyone knows of a way to fix it.
Essentially what's going on is my phone is having issues syncing contacts on my main google account. I have five accounts on the phone (work, school, personal, etc.) and they all sync everything great, except my main google account, the one I've used for my contacts ever since my Nexus One days back in 2010. I've never had sync issues before on that phone, my iPhone 4S (using both exchange and CardDAV), or my Galaxy Nexus. I got the One two weeks ago and ever since I got it, it's been doing this strange thing where it syncs my contacts fine but in the accounts & sync section it tells me that "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."

In addition to this strange behavior, only about 10% of the contact photos show up on the phone (they are still present in gmail though). This is annoying because I don't always want to use the facebook photo for someone's contact, and also I have friends not on facebook.
Anybody know what's going on here?
P.S. I have 2-Step turned on but that has never given me issues on android before.
Thanks in advance guys!

Has anyone have this issue with the email app?
One of my accounts shows -1/0 emails.
What gives with that, when I have no emails in that account. I have totally cleaned it out of all emails but yet I get -1/0.
Is there a way to correct this.

Mine never disappears though. Its always at -1 unless I recieve emails. But after i delete them its back at -1/0. its been like that for over a week now.
Has anyone been able to figure this one out. I just cant seem to get rid of the -1 on my email. Its only in that one yahoo.com account. I have other yahoo accounts as well, but they seem to be fine. I dont want to completely wipe the phone and set everything back up again. I have the phone just the way i like it.
just deleta that one account and re-set it. that should do it

I would if i could but its the first account that was made on the phone which if you have a vibrant and try to delete it. It tells you the only way to do it is to reset the whole entire phone to delete the account. Which I think is dumb in a way that was built. Also to note to delete that account, the account may be associated with other things like apps or whatever. Which I have no clue to which ones they are associated with since just about all my email accounts are associated with many things that use multiple email accounts. So basically I guess the only way is to just wipe the whole entire phone and start new.
Email sync and notifications
I set up my hotmail on the email. And it does not sync the account properly and never gives me notifications for new email.
Even when I refresh it, it doesn't load up all my emails.
I have deleted the account and set it up again, but that didnt help either..
HELPPP please! I need email on my phone!
The message about failed contacts backup appeared for the first time about 3-4 days ago. If i click on it, it disappears but then comes back in the next few minutes. I've been searching Internet about this problem with no success.
Tried to play around with accounts and sync options. Disabling auto-sync indeed solves the problem. But if I have auto-sync enabled and manually uncheck all the accounts updates, then this message still appears.
None of the accounts show that there was an error while synchronization. I've just clicked sync all and it did synced everything successfully but in a minute this message appeared again. Is it related to Samsung main account? Anyone else faced the same problem? Any how to solve it?
I suspect it might be related to the main account but deleting it requires hard reset, which I do not consider yet.

I am having the same problem. Please help.
It's Orange trying to backup the contacts
I had this too and was confused about where it had come from, then last night there was another icon that talked about the Orange network trying to back up my contacts.
So, find the application "Backup" in your applications, go to settings and set it to manual backup and set the reminder to off. This is what I have done and I haven't seen the orange icon since
just to be safe you could enable Contacts sync in your Google account to backup your contacts to google (if you don't mind google having this private data). and on the google contacts website you can even merge duplicates, scan contacts, revert to 30 day old backups and so on...actually quite a nice service!
This has been driving my wife to distraction for the last few weeks.
This fixed the annoying notification issue even though the program had never been run.
Thanks for the info.

uninstall
I've had this problem for a while too, I tried setting it to manual updates but it still seems to run and eat up my battery, I've uninstalled an update to see if this fixes it, is everyone else losing battery to this parasite still?
Solution
Hi, I was getting the same error after installing the latest HTC Desire HD update (on orange). The error message was associated with Orange's "Backup" application. To remove the message, I disabled the application. Go to Settings->Applications->Backup->Force Stop. The message went away and hasn't come back since.
Incidentally, this forum gave me a lot of hassle just to post a (hopefully helpful) reply. 3 different CAPTCHAs, and email verification?! You might get more replies on a forum that treats its users with some respect.
Easy....
settings>applications>manage applications>select 'Backup'>select 'Force stop'.
Done!

Hi
the best way to cure this is not to disable it.
simply switch of WiFi then go to app's, click backup and follow on screen instructions, once completed switch WiFi back on, done!
the backup app doesn't work on WiFi the first time it needs to sync, after that it works fine
I use the stock email app to check Yahoo emails via POP3. My question is: is there is any way to limit the range of days for the sync?
I hardly check my emails on my phone but I'm constantly sending emails out. My "problem" is that the stock app wants to download every email missing since the last time I synced, usually about a week's worth or so. And since it downloads from oldest to current, it can take a while.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to set the sync range to the last day or three days. I just haven't found that option with the stock app.
I've tried K-9 and another one or two that I'm forgetting (probably Enhanced), but I wasn't too crazy about them and stuck with stock. Didn't like Yahoo's email app, either.
Any suggestions?
The stock email app is indeed rather basic and kinda limited when it comes to certain stuff, so I'm not surprised at all if it can't do what you're asking.
I'm a little surprised you don't like K-9 though. Haven't used it personally (I hardly ever use any kind of email on my phone), but I have yet to see someone who was unhappy with it (or, well, at least until now... guess I just saw someone like that now, lol).
No suggestions then, since my suggestion would be K-9.

K9 is the best mail app for POP and IMAP. EnhancedEmail is the best for Exchange. I have tried and compared almost all of the email apps.
I'll give K9 another shot as I can't specifically remember what problem I had with it.
I still wish I could just give the app a date range. I simply don't need to access every email I've ever received. The stock app on Palm's OS had this feature and it was incredibly useful.
Edit: I solved the problems I originally had with K-9, namely figuring out how to create a shortcut that went directly to a specific inbox instead of having to click around to get to it.
Cheers!
Maildroid is my choice after trying K9. K9 didn't let me change ports if you have an IMAP/SMTP hybrid mail account.

I use Enhanced Email and have had no complaints. Great for all account types imo.

You might want to look at Touchdown also. I've been using the trial version and so far I've been impressed.
I ditched stock for K-9 also.
The only reason I didn't stick with K-9 was it wasn't playing well with the exchange server at work. I've not had any such problems with Touchdown. But for POP3 K-9 probably would've worked fine.
I'll give Touchdown a try tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.
I use AquaMail for my Yahoo mail.
So I came from using a droid x running quite a few different ROMs. On the gingerbread and older ROMs I'd have to use the "Google Apps Lookup" app to do a corporate directory search on my Google apps accounts. When I would use ICS or newer ROMs it was just built into the people app. Seems to me that HTC has done a great job of busting or removing this feature from the phone. Am I crazy or can anyone else clue me in on how to get this to do the directory search and not just local/sim/skype contacts? Honestly I've google'd the hell out of this and RTFM attempting to figure it out on my own. HELP! don't want a great phone to be flawed for corporate use.
Thanks in advance for anybody's feedback.

I read about this feature in a thread about saving contacts to Google by default.

Talked with HTC
So I've gone through and checked every single one of those boxes.
It still doesn't search for directory users.
I called Verizon and they told me to contact HTC on the issue because they would be no help.
I got a hold of a rep at HTC who said he doesn't see that functionality being built into the HTC version of the contacts/people app they customized in sense 4+
He opened a ticket for me to see if there could be a future update to allow for this feature.
Keep in mind that my corporate google apps for business account has probably well over 50,000 contacts in it and I wouldn't want to sync all of those to my local accounts.
It's supposed to operate like exchange server does. It looks at the local accounts for contacts then reach out to the directory for additional users.
bummed out that this very corporate essential components not working.
Click on the arrow next to the Google one, still not there?

Workaround
As a temporary work around I side loaded the gingerbread apk from the play store:
https: //play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.enterprise.lookup
I installed it on my DroidX from the play store and took the apk from it and installed it on my DNA
It ran and I can do the look up of the corporate directory searches that way for now. Yet is still really bothers me.
I hope someone here has seen this issue so they can give me some advice as viber support has been very slow and next to useless.
Basically I have a just came from a Xperia Z1 (Viber working) to a Nexus 5 and put on my defacto apps of which Viber is one of them and straight away after entering the phone number it said waiting for sms activation and a couple of seconds after it pops up with 'error' on the screen and that is all it says.
Prior to this I have had many android phones and never had an issue with activating viber.
Troubleshooting wise I have tried all of the below and nothing so far works.
1. Tried activating on wifi and 3g
2. Tried my wife's number on my nexus 5 which gets past the initial country code and phone number screen and tries to send an sms
3. Tried my number on my wife's phone and get the same lovely 'Error' popup
4. Placed my wife's sim card into my phone and activation works so proving this issue is number specific not phone specific.
The screenshot of the 'Error' is below.

Viber support seem to of gone very quiet and it looks like a Viber rep does lurk around here so bumping the thread to see if they can help me out.
Word of warning guys if any of you like myself installed the Android SDK and emulator to try and teach yourself programming then make sure Viber does not get installed if you login with your google account.
Basically this triggers their 'system' into thinking you are a spammer and they then block your number so you are unable to use Viber ever again on any device you own.
Viber support are next to useless and it looks like I will never be able to use Viber again despite doing absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever.
Viber support is blocked your GSM number
Viber support is blocked your GSM number, because of Viber spam politics, or something like this. I have the same problem with one of my GSM numbers. From Viber support answered me that they will never UNBLOCK this number (Viber politics and rules) , I already change my blocked GSM number...
