All,
On 1.18 update for about 10-14 days now. Recently experienced syncing problems whereby most of the sync'able items from my accounts have the circular-arrows-sync icon next to the check box when I view the accounts & sync page, and they are not syncing. Weirdly, one or two *are* syncing (well the date/time says they are!).
Was at a loss (no "clear cache" button available in gmail) - had to revert to my N1! (which was working OK btw). So figured I didn't have anything to lose and did a "Clear data" on gmail. Syncing started OK again. WEIRD, as my Exchange ActiveSync started working too!
Three days later and i have the same problem.
Anyone else? Any permanent fixes?

Just switched my email client to K9 and sync issues appear to have dissapeared.
I think this could be related to amount of internal memory space left; i've uninstalled and deleted some bits so we'll see over next few days...

I am on the stock ROM rooted. I have a gmail, google apps, facebook app - Not HTC Sense (contacts only) and weather(3 hours) accounts setup. Something seems to hang while syncing and the sync icon stays on for a long time. This will cause emails to be delayed in showing notification.
I cannot figure out what it is that is causing the issue. I am also assuming this is not good for battery life. When it is hung like that I can look at each account on the accounts & sync tab and none of them show active syncing. If I cancel the sync and then sync now they will all sync and complete as expected.
Any one else seeing this? Any ideas on figuring out what account is causing it?
Mine does this too. I'm rooted, running Perfect Storm v1.0. I also did the 'Kernal/OS tweaks'. I'm not sure what caused it, but it's been doing this on and off for a couple days. I also had that ooVoo video app installed and when I uninstalled it, the sync indicator went away. (I had previously set the ooVoo sync to off). I'll post if I find anything.
I selected each account and disabled sync for each one and it still showed the sync icon later on. Do we know what all triggers the sync icon?
Any one else having this issue?
I was having the same issue. No idea what was causing it, I thought it was Facebook, but I froze it and it still was popping up. I did install advanced radio tools in settings from Jcase and leankernal from Imoseyon...
Yeah I am unrooted still and have this same issue with gmail delay. I can send an email to my self and watch it pop up almost immediately on my old eris connected to wifi but actually have to launch gmail to get the email on the thunderbolt. WTF!? Thats basic stuff. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it works fine on the granddaddy eris but not on the grandson TB. I have one personal gmail account and one gapps account. The only difference in the phones (other than the obvious massive power difference) is 4g so I wonder if this 1st gen 4g device wasn't polished enough back at the HTC labs?

I have 1 of each account type as well. What about other of you having this issue?
I've been experiencing this all day. Won't sync my g-mail accounts. I froze HTC Sense, could that be the cause?
EDIT: Unfroze sense and it still won't sync my g-mail. Syncs my contacts fine, just not my calendar or my e-mails. I deleted data and it did nothing except remove all of the e-mails that I had on my phone. Still wouldn't sync so I booted up my backup, and it STILL is not syncing. Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
I've been searching for a real answer to this question high and low... and yet the answer doesn't seem sufficient.
I am using the stock Gmail app (2.2). I'm trying to get push emails -- but it doesn't push, mostly because it doesn't seem that my account syncs very often even with auto-sync turned on. For example, I went to the Account window at 2:58pm, and it said the last sync was at 2:33pm, so I wasn't getting "push" email in the interim at all.
How do I consistently ensure that my Gmails arrive regularly and avoid this sync issue that obviously isn't a real "push"? I can't be getting emails on my phone 25 minutes after they're sent. And there's no way to set the frequency apparently, at least not with the Gmail app.
So does the lack of response mean that nobody knows the answer? Surely I can't be the only one this is affecting.
You are not alone ;-)
I am having the same issues today, (I flashed and unofficial version of gingerbread on my Desire yesterday)
With Android 2.2, I had no problems, I have no idea what the sync frequency was, but it seemed adequate. With Android 2.3, I am having the same kind of issues. My laptop knows I have new mail, but my phone doesn't.
If it is not possible to find out or update the sync frequency, then there are some gmail notifier apps in the market which may provide an acceptable solution.
Interesting, this was a problem for me always (2.1 and now 2.2). I thought it was attributed to the internal Android sync which seems to me to occur every 30 minutes (even though the "auto sync" checkbox should mean a little more frequently, no)?
What Gmail notifier apps would you recommend, and do they bypass the internal "Accounts and sync" settings? That's not the ideal solution at all, but I'll take it if it means my Android will check emails more frequently -- like as they arrive.
Hi,
I had the same problem after flashing CM7.
Under menu, accounts (Were you can see all accounts you sync with) press on Gmail account. There you need check if everything is activated.
On my phone the checkbox for sync gmail was missed. Contacts and calender where checked

Gmail is checked for me. My settings are correct. Like I said before, it's syncing every 30 minutes. That's not acceptable if my emails are really "push" as this doesn't seem like "push" to me.

Possibly a stupid question, but, on your main accounts and sync page, do you have "background data" checked? I have that checked and auto-sync checked and I get my G-Mail on my phone about 10 seconds after I get it on my desktop. Just asking because I don't see that mentioned anywhere here. BTW--I am running CM7.
I have Background data, and Auto-sync both ticked. I have now been waiting several hours for emails (that I know are waiting) to appear - they haven't, so I'm not even getting 30 minute responses.
The "Sync all" button has no effect either, so I guess that my problem is different
That is using 2 gmail accounts, both correctly setup - in theory.
OK, my problem is fixed. I switched off auto-sync, then I was able to manually sync everything: mail,calendar,contacts,books. I then switched auto sync back on, and now I am being notified of email from all sources in 2-3 minutes.
Yup, Background data is on. maersi - this might be my issue. Trying it and will see what happens.
Has anyone noticed that what they do within the Gmail app on the Xoom isn't syncing with your desktop machine?
In other words - when I read or delete or change labels on an email in the Gmail app, I don't see the changes reflected if I go to my Gmail on my laptop. (They are still sitting in my inbox, unread).
Go into settings/applications /manage applications/all applications. Open Gmail and "clear cache ", them "clear data "
Ignore the warnings. Back to home page and open Gmail. You should be good to go.
That worked!
Thanks!
Sync hangs
I'm not sure if this is the exact same problem but I tried to send some large attachments recently and the sync seemed to hang all night. It would not send the email I originally was going to send plus three other I did afterwards before I noticed the issue. I was more concerned with sending these emails then checking to see if the sync error was affecting the receive mail process. Rebooting did not help so I ended up deleting the account and adding it back again. It took a while to do the normal initial syn but it seemed to clear the problem.
A week later I had the same issue although this time I noticed right away (instead of the next morning like before). I did a search and found someone advising to go into the Androids Setting then manage apps and then Gmail. To hit clear data and click
ck OK to the warning that tells you that all data, including any mail, will be deleted. I was not worried about the outgoing mail I was trying to send as I could easily redo it. This did work Ase I went into Gmail and it had to sync up withe servers but everything was back. The weird thing is that my message was sent and no longer under Outbox marked as "being sent". So either it sent it this time but was not showing this or it sent it real quick before I cleared data.
Either way it's fixed for now but who knows if it will happen again soon.We shall see.
i am having this problem in my nexus 5 with kit kat 4.4.4
all my appointments just vanished and i do not know why. when i try to sync it says that sync is currently experiencing problems and that it will be back shortly.
it is like that since 29 July. i already deleted the calendar updates, cleared cache, cleared data and no luck. i can see all my appointments in my browser but my calendar app is empty.
any tips?

As far as I remember it can be related to bad contacts. Several similar situations (and solutions) can be easily found on Google.
I have tried but no luck.
At first, all my appointments disappeared from my mobile phone even when they are still active when i access them from my web browser. and everytime i made a sync (from the google account menu of the mobile phone) the calendar would not sync and it said that it was a problem related with google servers.
i left it alone for some days but thought it was strange for google to have the servers with problems for so many days. after some research i tried to clear cache, clear data, disable calendar and enable it back again.
this did not help me either. but from a clean installation, i tried to add my account again (before updating to the newer version) and i wasn't allowed to do it. after updating to the newer version, i still cannot sync it. now, from the google account menu of the mobile phone, i do not have the option to choose calendar as it is not there anymore. i have all the other options like chrome, contacts, drive, etc but nothing related to calendar.
i really need to make it sync as part of my life is related with appointments and calendar really helps in that.
I also tried to create new appointments all over again but when i try to do so, the calendar app just stands there with a little circle that never stops rotating.
i am using kitkat 4.4.4.
i hope to have some help as i have tried a lot of options but nothing solved my problem.
Hi everyone,
I've had a Pixel 2 (128 GB), since November. Had no issues until 2-3 days ago, I noticed that under the notifications it says "Syncing mail..." and just stays there forever. I've got 3 different mail accounts (Gmail, Hotmail, work), I've turned off syncing to all 3 accounts but the notification remains. I'm unable to force stop, and the only way to make it go away is to turn on airplane mode and reboot the phone. But the moment I turn data back on the message comes back.
Anyone got any clues as to what's going on?
Thanks.
Had this issue, too. Removed my Outlook Mail Account and added it again... Solved the problem for me.

Same issue happening for me as well......Cleared data and cache, didn't fix it, removed account and put it back, still didn't fix it. Seems to have started after the most recent Gmail app update.
gmail has been very buggy with this phone. Emails come late or don't sync until multiple attempts.
I have the exact same issue on a Nexus 6P. It happened during the Oreo beta, then went away after public release. Came back this week. I have done all of the steps above - still a constant notification. Super annoying.
Same thing here on OnePlus 3 Oreo
It just started happening last week on my OnePlus 3 with Android Oreo and it annoyed me enough to Google the problem and I landed here. I haven't tried anything yet and not going to (too much work to resync multiple accounts) - this seems like a bad app update. Going to wait it out until the next one.
Same issue, some more info
I have the same issue, it seems to be related to work accounts going through Exchange. If you remove your work account the notification goes away. But if I add it again I still have the same problem. It is also only an issue on Oreo, I have seen that OnePlus users are now having the same problem after updating their devices. For now I have configured my work Exchange email to use IMAP, this gets rid of the syncing message but email is no longer pushed, it gets synced every 15mins
Alternatively you can un-install updates from Gmail and turn off auto update on the Gmail app and then add your Exchange account, this seems to get rid of the constant mail syncing message.
Got the same issue on my HTC 10 after upgrading to Oreo, tried removing and re-adding the exchange account and clearing cache and data but nothing gets rid of it.
I am getting this on my OG Pixel. Probably not something Pixel/Pixel2 related, sounds a lot more like Oreo/Gmail APP related (not specifically gmail itself, just the app).
If I had to pose a guess, this is likely Exchange sync, where some function of exchange sync in gmail is causing the app to prompt this constantly. I won't venture a guess what, though I have a theory. In either way, it's annoying and seemingly benign. as in, it causes no problems either with sync or with the phone, but if you're like me and like to have a neat and tidy notification bar, it will drive you utterly mad.
This comes and goes for me, it's not consistent. Usually toggling WiFi on and off makes it go away after connecting and reconnecting to a network. I have an Exchange account added.
I found out that my issue was that I my outlook already syncs with my Gmail, so i didn't actual have to add my outlook account. It was "gmailified" already.
Solved this issue on my Samsung M30s
I tried all the methods shared by other users, however finally I logged out and login again my email account, then restarted the device to resolve this constant syncing email issue.
I hope it would be helpful to others as well.
