In the last couple of weeks I noticed that gmail is not always up to date. Started looking into it and found that auto sync for google account is not working right. It always syncs manually. If I don't touch it - it syncs randomly. Sometimes emails arrive 3-4 hours after they get to gmail. Other times they get to the phone in time. If I open google account from settings - accounts, I can see the times it synced all the elements and sometimes they're way behind.
All the auto-sync is enabled on the phone. I tried clearing data and cache, removed and readded google account, finally did a full reset last night. This morning it didn't show emails that arrived in the middle of the night. I went into the account and forced it to sync. It worked and 2 hours later still working but I'm sure it'll stop at some point. Are there any logs I can look at? any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
you didnt say what ROM & version this is

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but
Recently ive been trying sense roms and they just haven't been able to sync facebook and my contacts, before sometimes by the time i had finished the setup, my contacts were linked with photos (well most of them) ive tried clearing the data, cache, removing the account and adding it again, leaving it overnight, but nothings happening. Maybe its a problem HTC is having.
Anyone having the same problem?
This is a common problem. You sometimes have to wait up to 6 hours for it to properly sync. I would wait at least 2 hours between trying each fix. Typically fixes have included:
Removing and re-adding your facebook account
Doing the above on 3G (or lower) only
Doing the above on WiFi only
Removing the account, re-installing the facebook app and adding your account through the app rather than the settings menu
ive tried all of that trust me
Then try again. It does work as i've had it broken and working on the same rom. It is just very picky sometimes.
Make sure you're on the latest version of whichever rom your using (would be helpful to know).
Don't do too much at once and be more patient with it. This isn't something you'll fix in a few hours or a day. Try spending a few hours without a facebook account activated at all. Reboot a few times without the facebook app and any account. Let your phone sync everything else for a few hours. Then try adding the facebook account without facebook app installed (don't force a sync) just let it sync in its own time - could take 3 hours or more. After that time try a forced sync. If nothing happens get the facebook app and add your details to that and see if that helps. etc etc. I would probably repeat this process on 3G and on WiFi separately.
Which rom's have you tried? and how long have you had each installed?
ok thanks, i'll try this
i'm using the mmod rom
EDIT: thanks very much, i removed facbeook, rmeoved the account, left it for about two hours, added the account and its working now!
hey guys,
I've been having a problem with my gmail calendar not syncing, which is very important to me. Not sure if anyone else has this issue. It worked for about 2 weeks then stopped. I still got email, but not sure if my contacts were syncing. I tried the manual sync in Accounts and it said it was synced, but it wasn't. No phone to gmail or gmail to phone on the calendar. I set up a multiple day event (every thursday) and that was when it stopped working.
Anyway, here's how I got it working again. I went into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, then the ALL tab. First I opened the Calendar Sync Adapter and Clear Data. (That didn't fix it, but I'm not sure if it fixed something else, but this is all the steps I took.) Next was Calendar and Clear Data. (Still no fix). Lastly was Calendar Storage and Clear Data. I'm not sure if the last one was the important one or it was a combination of all three, but that seemed to fix it. I had to re-enter all the events that were originally inputted through my phone so you might want to write those down, but now my phone goes both ways... with gmail... haha. Hope this saves someone some time.
Oh, and I'm stock 2.2.2 not rooted.
What bloat ware have u frozen/uninstalled also you could try force stopping you calender and clearing data and reboot idk if it will do ne thing but its worth a shot
I'm unrooted stock. I haven't frozen or uninstalled any bloatware. I cleared the data and that seemed to do the trick for a day. Now I'm starting to have the same problem again. I haven't rebooted since so I guess I'll try that.
I have an exchange account set up to sync email, tasks, and contacts, but for some reason not all of my contacts will sync. And it seems like the contacts that won't sync are some of the most used ones. I have numbers for people I've never called, but most of my family, friends, and coworkers aren't in here.
Anyone have any idea why? I have it set up the same as on my international Note, where there were no problems, and I've gone over the settings several times now.
Nevermind, I gave up and did a hard reset. The problem was related to another problem I was having that I posted about a couple days ago. I kept getting lag and an error about google services framework stopping unexpectedly.
When I went to the account settings, I could clearly see google contacts was failing to sync and every time it would try, that's when I would get that error message. I didn't want to do a hard reset, but finally gave in.
So it use to work fine. I can see in the Google Dashboard the last sync date is up to date and changes daily BUT when you go into Settings / Accounts & Sync / Sync Browser is 3 days out of date (everything else is current). Turning sync on and off does nothing as the sync icon just spins. Deleting the Chrome data from Google Dashboard just results in new data syncing to the dashboard BUT not to the tablet.
I just get a spinning icon if I try to restart Browser Sync and it never syncs but I know the info from Chrome is syncing with Google but just not from Google to the tablet.
Anyone else? It worked fine, until days ago.
Same here... nothing since the 9th.
Mine has stopped syncing on the 9th as well. I've tried all I could think off, but no luck.
I got a last sync of the 13th... now nothing
Now i have triple repeats of some items while some folders are full others are empty & the time still shows a last sync of 3 days ago & just spins. Wtf?
ICS Bookmark sync failure
I have the same problem. Stopped syncing on the 3/15/12. Some folders and most bookmarks are missing. I wish they would not erase all bookmarks before they overwrite with half the correct data. All 4 of my PC's sync just fine. How do you contact Google to get support for this operating system? This makes the browser unusable!
Hi!
I tried to do my due diligence before posting this. While this has been addressed in the past I didn't find any solution.
Anyhow, since a couple of days ago my Gmail-app (4.5.2) is not giving me instant notifications for new e-mails. I haven't flashed anything new or something along those lines. I did however disable some autostarts for Google Services Framework in order to resolve a wakelock, but that was 4 weeks ago.
Some symptoms:
It seems to sync eventually - this morning I found a notification for an e-mail that was received 6 p.m. the day before.
If I go to Settings > Google account > Sync Gmail I can manually force it to sync, which produces the notification.
Upon entering the app I find the e-mails there
Things I've tried so far:
Ensured that Sync is activated in the Notification Center-thingy you drag from the top
Ensured that sync is activated in the Gmail-app
Clear Gmail app-data > reboot
Clear Google Play Services app-data > reboot
Clear Dalvik cache (out of desperation more than anything)
Running Push Notification Fixer
Removing Google account and signing in again
So, the core of the problem seems to be that the app for whatever reason isn't syncing at the desired intervals anylonger: so instead of pushing, the mails needs to be pulled (semi-manually, it seems).
Many thanks for any input on how to solve this!

Hi Nollan,
It looks like I'm having the same issue as you. I see that no one responded to your question, but I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it.
Thanks,
shingy
