EDIT: SOLVED!!!
----------------------------------------------
as per my theory, detailed in the original post below, the sync works perfectly if you use an @gmail adress, which I happen to have had lying around since before the lawsuit and resulting googlemail renaming
It's a bit dumb on Google's part I suppose, but at least we now know the cause ;o)
-------------------------------------------------
After running into it with all the 2.1 ROMs I have tried, I did a bit of Googling on this problem and it seems to have caused a few probs on early Nexus Ones back in January, it seems to be concentrated on the UK, though maybe not exclusive to it.
I havent found out if there has been a fix released for the bug.
Apparently, back then, the bug affected google apps subscribers, who had to use a workaround for it, which involved linking an @gmail address to their account
I might be over simplifying, but it occurs to me that it might revolve around the use of a @googlemail address which we are stuck with i the UK, as opposed to an @gmail address
anyone else with the same problem want to confirm their details???
Mine are:
UK (Vodafone)
@Googlemail

Hi,
I am experiencing a serious problem. I recently released an updated on my app "Funny Jokes" from modern creation. The update is meant to enhance the user experience by adding a few new cool features. However, since the update, there are a small number of users experiencing "Initialization Failure" when starting the app. According to my code, this error only happens when the internet connection is spotty. However, the users report that they have perfect good 3g or wifi. I have no idea what causes this error since it works perfectly fine on my own phone, the simulator and a few friends who have installed my app. However, since angry customers tend to leave reviews, the reviews since the update have been mostly negative. Its really hurting my app. Is there any way that Microsoft can help me debug this problem? since I don't have all the devices on all different carriers? I really don't know what to do at the moment.
Also can some of the developers help me on this problem? I am here attaching the xap file, will you please let me know if the app works on your phone and if it doesn't, can you please let me know what device you use, your carrier, and country. Thanks very much.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing the pain I am. I cannot use VVM at all on my Skyrocket EXCEPT if I'm running the "unnamed" ROM 1.1.2.
Which I cannot use because of a Google Contacts syncing issue. Let me break it down:
VVM issue: used pretty much all ROMS including stock. Unable to use att vvm, google voice, youmail, etc. However, using unnamed 1.1.2, VVM from att works, but google contacts sync incorrectly. I would have made these separate issues in dev, but I just started posting.
Good news, AT&T is replacing my phone (their tech support was actually competent), but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these issues.
You don't have to trust me on this, but please do I did plenty of research this week on workarounds and nothing work. I hate asking for help dammit!
Installed the MyTouch Q rom update today... all great, fast and clean... but can't get encryption to work.
Can't find any solutions anywhere. Either I'm not looking in the right place, or it's not fixed yet.
Just curious if anyone has fixed this or knows how to do it.
If I can't, I guess I have to get Touchdown for email, as opposed to using the Exchange client that comes with the rom.
Hello xda-guys, devs, user and everyone else.
Since I got an Android phone, i startet to love it and still up today I can't imagine to have another mobile OS. When I swapped a few years ago to a MVNO, the pain begun:
When using your Android phone with a MVNO, it is saying that you are roaming. So you have to activate "data usage while roaming", get a lot of annoying warnings and if you live near a border, you can look forward to a very high phone bill.
This issue is only on Android, no Windows phone, no iOS, not even and unbelievable old Nokia does have this problems!
The problem is (well?) known at google since 2009 (!!!) and all over the world, but google is ignoring it:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3499
Unfortunately, most people around the world don't even know that this is a problem! Even the manuals from the MVNO's are saying that you just have to activate data usage while roaming, altough they know that this can rise your bill when you live near a boarder... (Or do they want exactley that?!)
I love my Android, but without any hacks or rooting to solve this problem, it is useless!
I don't want anymore to be forced to root my phones and search for a hack, patch or anything else when there is a new version.
Only Samsung implementet it in their firmware which solves this problem. But it can't be that I need to use only Samsung phones in the future?
With upcoming root "problems" of Lollipop and also ART it is getting more difficult to find solutions for that problem.
Maybe here on XDA, there are more people haveing the same annoying problem and are maybe also as fed up as I am about that problem.
So there is my question, what can we all together do, that this problem will be solved once and forever directly by google?!
I can't imagine that this is taking more time then two days of coding by one person sitting on the right place...
Sorry for my bad english and I hope that there are many other people like me sitting there and are also as fed up as I am about that problem. If i start to think about it, I would like to throw my phone away and start useing my brick old Nokias again.... I just can't understand why this problem isn't fixed since years...
PS: If I posted this in the wrong section, I'm sorry. Please move it then to the right section.
Seems that the national roaming issue isn't annoying anyone other?
This is definitely annoying me. My Xperia T had support for my MVNO built in, but my Huawei didn't until the last update (EMUI 3 beta). Xposed framework stopped working after an update, so I couldn't use the National Roaming plugin anymore. I was forced to enable roaming and download an app called network status notification. That way I could at least see if I was using 2g or 3g.
I have no idea how we can ask Google to do something about it, but if someone here on XDA can fix it, why can't Google fix it?
PS: EU roaming option would come in handy too

i use the app from this site
https://blog.sprinternet.at/2013/12/android-roaming-statusicon-entfernen-inlands-roaming-mvno/
it works great for me!
it is open source but i don´t know how build apps... if somebody knows how to do the app is more then 1 year old but it works on lollipop and kitkat!
you only need root! no xposed!
direct link to the .apk

Thank you for this tip! I've searched a lot and found only script based solutions or the way via the xposed framework -which I actually do not need!
I'll try this in the evening.
But unfortunately, there is still no solution from google or without root...
That Google ignores it is unbelievable, but due the fact that I have root tyrol made my day with this tipp
