I'm new here! Just recieved my mi tab 4 a couple of days ago with China ROM installed. I managed to change to English language and I've installed most of the Google apps. My contacts are stored in Gmail but will not sync on the mi tab 4. Also, android widgets don't show. The widget screen only shows the usual toggle on and off functions such as mobile, airplane, Bluetooth etc. I've tried changing various settings after searching the Internet for suggestions to both of these problems but to no avail.
Is there a stable Global ROM that I can use and could that resolve these problems?
Not yet, where did you find the installer? It is safe? Of course without mention your incidents

From a link on this XDA site. The file is
Google_installer. apk
To get contacts to sync, I installed both Contact Sync and Contact app. Then go to tablet's Settings->Permission and enable AutoStart on both of them. Then restart the tablet.

Hello,
I have a strange problem after my update to 4.1 in my browser. After the update the freeze problem in my browser was gone, unfortunatelly I saw, that it had some problems while loading pictures. Therefore I cleared the cache and all data - as told in this forum to solve the freeze problem (in combination with a cold boot).
After that, all bookmars were deleted (as expected), unfortunately now I have no possibility to get acces to my bookmarks on google. It shows only the section - Local -. Even Saving new bookmarks I can only choose to save them -Local-.
Next step was looking at the Settings for sync - strangely there was no option for syncing the bookmarks. I have the usual contact, calendar, Pisca, mail and so on... but no possibility to sync the bookmarks.
On my Galaxy everything works fine.
When I delete the cahce and all data again, the browser shows a short messsage that it connects to the bookmarks on google (with my account) for about 3-5 seconds- but it does not work.
Does anyone has any idea what to to?
Thank you very much in advance. If there is already a topic regarding this problem, I am sorry, I could not find it.
Regards, Sebastian

Doesn't work on my Galaxy Nexus too. I believe Google drop that feature, since the JB official browser is Chrome, and Chrome sync is working fine.
I also have a Prime and a Gnex. I'm running Bamf JB rom on Gnex and the stock browser has my bookmarks. But the prime does not, same with no option in the sync settings. Why is this gone?
CMarks from the market will restore this functionality :good:.

When you say JB official browser is chrome, do i have to download it from the play store? I find chrome from Google play slower than the stock browser
Hello, I've recently updated my LeEco Le Max 2 (X820), and I'm having a strange issue.
With the default E-mail app, notifications only arrives when the phone is "on", when in standby, notifications don't arrive.
However, the numeric counter on the icon is showing, so the e-mail is correctly received, only the notification don't arrive.
I've already put the E-mail app in automatic startup and protected apps, but the problem persists.
This happens after 23s update, and other apps, like Gmail, now are working correctly, so I don't think it is the same problem as before.
Any suggestion? It happens also for you?
*sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian.

For me it's working now, but immediately after the upgrade it wasn't working also for me.
I followed these steps and now it's working:
-added Gmail to automatic startup and protected apps;
-disabled background resources control through hidden menu (*#*#46360000#*#* on the dialer);
-opened Gmail-->Settings-->selected my account (***@gmail.com) and then opened "Manage labels"-->Principal, and here, I've disabled and re-enabled the "Add labels to notifications" voice (or if it is already disabled, you should enable it);
-Restarted the phone, and then Gmail started to work properly.
With 20s, also with these steps, it wasn't working, but with 23s now it's working.
I wish it could help you, maybe some word or voice can be a little different (I'm translating from Italian Gmail app).

Thanks a lot for the information. Those are also what I found among tons of posts. I was aware of this issue before I flashed stock rom. I did those steps right after I install gmail (and outlook email app which has same problem). But it was still mute.
How did you install your gmail app and play store? with other service apk? That might be a factor.

I've not used APKs, I've installed Play Store through the pre-installed LeStore app, by typing "Google" on the search bar.
After installed Play Store, I just logged in and then started to download apps, Gmail included, and also updated Play services through the Play Store instead of LeStore (there is Play services also in Le Store, but I haven't installed it).
I have also installed the Google App, maybe it can be relevant?

Looks like it is relevant.
I disable the play services, it uninstalls the updates (which I installed manually). Then I enable it again. When I open Gmail, it would require play services to update through play store. After the updates, I finally get the notification back.
Thank you so much for the idea.
For your Email issue, did you try to change the sync frequency?

Hi all,
Yesterday I got the b390 update using the stock rom. After the update both gcalendar and calendar app are crashing all the time and the "calendar sync" and "calendar storage" procceses are draining (like crazy) my battery.
I tried to uninstall gcalendar and install it again, but same behavior. I need to force close the calendar procceses to avoid battery drain, but I really need calendar working on my phone.
Anyone else has experienced these problems? Any workaround?
Thanks!

I think that's pretty much all you could do...
but if you have more than 1 account syncing, like more gmail accounts syncing for mails and such, you may try to unsync the secondary ones, and see if it stops misbehaving. then you add them back, one at a time.
personally, I would go for a backup&reset
I figured out how to solve it:
1. Uninstall Google calendar app.
2. Under "Setting - Applications", go to menu and enable all system apps-.
3. Remove all data from Calendar, Calendar Storage and Google Calendar Syncronization apps.
4. Install Google Calendar again.
5. Remove all data from Google Calendar app
6. Remove all notifications from stock Calendar app.
7. Open Google Calendar and follow the first start screen.
The only issue I have is that now some events are displayed like 10 times duplicated, I'll have to figure out why.
Same problem here. All Google periodical events are duplicated many times since my update to b390. I'm using business calendar pro app. I will try to go back to b371.
I also noticed problems with my google contacts. I have to add the category "other" to my main addressbook that they are displayed.
Apparently the event duplication has been solved by itself this week, but last week I ended having some events like 10 times duplicated.
Did you make a factory reset after update?
I went back to B380 and the problem has also gone

I have the same problem after this update. And I did a factory reset, and it solved nothing. How can I make a rollback/downgrade?
after update from B380 FW to B390 FW all series meetings in my local calendar are multiple. I reset the calendar app and the calendar memory to empty the internal calendar. Then I downloaded all calendar enties from Outlook to Honor7 using MyPhoneExplorer. The results is bad: most series entries are multiple, single entries are fine. After disconneting phone from PC I browsed within the calendar. When switching to another date the series entries are duplicated (e.g. 4-8 times). The entries will be duplicated by each date switch in calendar. Other calendar e.g. goolge is disabled. I called Honor support to get support. The support was very friendly, but not helpful. They stated thatt the issue is most likely caused by the sync tool and not issued by phone. In the whole system only the B390 FW update was performed and how should the sync tool duplicate entries if the calender date will be switch w/o PC connection. Now I will roll back to B380 FW knowing that the notification is poor, too. Additinonal there are some issues using LTE with B380 too. Sporadically the phone is disconneted from mobile network, only the phone calls not the data transfer. Those 2 issues are fixed wiht B390 FW, but the calendar issue is not accetable.
How do you do the rollback?

I made a rollback to B380 having the appropriate update.app on the SD-card in dload and using the 2-botton restart (don't remember which bottoms). After the rollback the calendar was OK again, but GPS-sensor was lost (I tried everything to activate it again ...).
Upgrading again to 390 brought GPS-sensor and calendar-issue back.
Now I have deactivated calendar messages but still hope for a solution.
I found a workaround for the calendar-issue: You have to delete the old calendar-entry-series and create those entrys new. It works for me.

Wipe data for the same also works
Same here with two Honor 7 devices.
Occurs since a recent b390 update and only for reccuring events that are duplicated hundreds of times.
Calendars are stored by NextCloud and shared between 4 users using phones (sync with CalDav Sync) and and Thunderbird installed on pc.
Neither Thunderbird, NextCloud nor others phones show duplicate events but only the Honor 7 devices. So online calendars do not seem to be affected and it's a Honor bug.
Tried many things : wipe apps data ; CalDav Sync accounts deleted/recreated ; tweaking sync options ; removed Honor's stock calendar app authorizations and installed Google Calendar... nothing worked
Wiping all events or entire existing calendar stored on NexCloud and create fresh new ones is not an option in this case.
I Wonder if I should tell users that they have to reset their phone, and not sure if they will end up with a b390 rom again and still the same problem (?)

Hi guys!
I recently bought the mi pad 4 and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I downloaded the Google play store installer from xiaomi's webpage and so I got the play store up and running.
However the calendar and contacts app by Google don't seem to connect to my Google account. Contacts stays empty (only showing the few contacts that use telegram) and the calendar app shows a placeholder account, look at the attached image.
I would really like to also use those two apps on my tablet and would love if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance¡
Best wishes

i was facing the same problem, here was how i solved it:
Give all permission, or at lease the permission to modify your contact, to Google Account Manager, Google contact sync and the Google contact app.
Allow these app to started by other apps, in the startup settings.
Also I tried to install google contact sync version 9 but it doesn't work, i downgrade to 8 and contact appear in the google sync option.
As for the calendar issue, try login within the calendar app.
Try to install Google Calendar and Phone apps and they will ask for activating the calendar and contact sync. Of course you need to say "yes".
The above method works for me.
didn't get the prompt to grant certain permissions for those apps, but finally I've managed. Alot of permissions had to be granted manually to both contacts and calendar app and google services.
thanks for the help, guys!
work for me

Having this EXACT problem and tried everything you did too. It's really bothering me, I have to open messenger every couple of hours just to find old messages that I should have replied to.
I noticed that when I launch it, there's a brief "no internet connection" message, but just like you I gave it unrestricted access, background permissions, and enabled wi-fi and mobile data to run while phone is locked. I have problems with WhatsApp too though, every time I open it it downloads a bunch of new messages.
Also I don't have Play Services. Installing it causes other apps to glitch out for me, it seems. Maybe this is my issue?
I am not facing any issue with whatsapp and wechat..
And my messenger is solved for now after contacting Honor team..
They asked me to give same access to Facebook app (i.e unrestricted access and background running) and it solved the problem...
You should try the same hopefully it will work for you
