instead of rebooting hit the power button and restart that will shut down every app to its normal state

thanks for the reply, but that's what I meant by rebooting

ok try turning off data then restart the phone see if that works with no data it cant sync

This is being discussed in another thread.
1.Disable automatic syncing.
2.Sync manually once. Then re-enable syncing.
Still doing it? disable the syncing of 'watch' in accounts and sync.
This should cure it and credit to the posters in the other thread for this fix

Thanks for this. It worked
Can you tell me the other thread that talks about the solution as i have searched and cannot find it?
Thanks

This did not seem to work for me. When you say manual sync do you mean go into each listed item and hit the sync now button?
Watch is and never was auto sync in my handset.
Any help would be great or the pointer to the other thread!
Cheers

I had this issue and uninstalled linked in for sense and it disappeared

Well had a play and it seems if I stop the auto sync, cancel the existing sync and turn auto sync back on it works fine.
I can only think on startup there is an issue with one of them, not got the time to work out which at this point, could be linkedin for HTC as I do use that. Will try it fist and let you know.
Thanks

Facebook sync

Has any one got this to work? Mine just says it down and try later?
Yeah mine just worked. I downloaded the Facebook app from the market though. I didn't know the phone came with one.

The Facebook Sync that came with the device isn't working for me either. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
Not working for me either. No bueno!
It's not working for me either... I get the same message as some other posters, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried re-installing the facebook app, and removing the facebook account in Settings>Accounts and sync. No luck yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I haven't gotten mine to work either. I have the same errors as everyone else is reporting.
I don't see any other way of doing it via downloading a market app either.
I really don't care if it is integrated via samsung or an app, I just want to check it out.
Any suggestions?
Someone should try to contact AT&T or Samsung about this.
Having the same problem here. What did you do to accomplish the same with the Facebook app?
I don't know what happened but mine finally started working. I did root the device but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
So facebook is now showing contacts on my phone, as far as actually properly 'syncing' I don't know yet.
However, they must have just fixed what was wrong with the connection.
More later
Bloo is an app that'll give you notifications similar to the BB FB app when someone sends a message or makes a comment or even pokes you. Although I have had issues when I try to go to the photo that someone just commented about, bloo can't get there. But it does notify me. I just have to use the FB app if I want to reply back.
Mine worked fine yesterday.

My fb sync is definitely not working either. I've probably tried it at least 15 times since sunday. A few hard resets, reseating battery and sim. Tried setting up fb sync as the very first thing after a hard reset so no other settings or accounts conflicted... Nothing. I would very much like this to work. Whats strange is that in the contacts application the activities tab pulls my news feed, but within my contacts and groups there are 0 contacts that show and I get the sync error saying it will be back shortly in the accounts settings.
any update on this? i really want my facebook contacts to sync.
Still no go for me either :/

Yep, same here. It pulls in my activities, but not my contacts with the very same error. I've read on some other forums that it's a FB error and resolves itself when it feels like it. But it does seem weird that it would get updates and not contacts unless it's pulling that from somewhere else. I'm wondering if it has to do with the security settings I have set up on FB?
Well I finally got it to work. Contacts sync 2 days ago but did have to lynk a few manually. Then it would just have a error if it tried to auto sync. Rooted my phone yesterday day and removed att apps and now it will sync every hour no problems. Duno if either helped but worth a shot.

Gmail not updating, just manually

Why is the last couple days my Gmail will not check for mew mail? Stock rooted with update done yesterday. I have to open Gmail and refresh and get all my mail I've been missing all day. Doesn't makes sense since it was working before the last couple days. I have 3 accounts setup to sync and none are working.

I'm also having issues with emails pushing to my Infuse. They show up on Sparrow on my Mac, but I have to manually check from my phone. I noticed this a couple days ago and again today.
My stock infuse is has also switched to only rerrshing gmail when I manually do it.
Have task killer, juice defender, sjd watchdog installed but I don't think that is the issue

I also have task killer, BUT, I do not have it running. Only have it in case I need to manually kill something.
One account had 1 email this morning, another I checked manually and one showed up. Not sure what to make of this.

Weird, my gmail is no longer updating automatically either. But it is working on my tablet.
EDIT: Well, I checked my account settings under Settings > Accounts and Sync and somehow my gmail, calendar and contacts magically got unchecked.
I had not heard that it does more bad than good, can you point me to a discussion thread on it?
I had someone else say the same thing about juice defender but did not get a explanation why either.

I had this issue on my Inspire. I went to GTalk and apparently, I was signed out. I signed back in (as I believe this is how it communicates with google servers and syncs) and mine has been syncing correctly since.

What the heck is gtalk? And whats it got to do with gmail refreshing on the phone. Ive never heard of gtalk !!! I googled it and came up a bunch of different things
All day today, no email. Manual refresh and a bunch of emails show up. This is annoying! I thought alot of my issues with the dell streak were solved by moving on but i guess i only moved onto different issues..... so annoyed

Google Talk. Google's chat service. It shows in your app drawer as "Talk". If you've ever noticed, when you access gmail on a computer, you're automatically signed into Google Talk. I was told a while ago in the past (when I owned a captivate) that Talk is what the phone may use to communicate with Google servers (makes sense), but not completely sure. By no means is gmail buggy or have issues because 99% of the time it syncs perfectly and without problems. My time period where it didn't sync was the first time it ever happened since I've had my Inspire (since February). My gmail has since returned to normal.
Do you have a task killer that's possibly interfering?
Are notifications enabled? (in gmail settings - "notify in status bar when mail arrives")

Still having issues with my Gmail syncing. I had no issues for the first few weeks I had phone, but now it is rare that push actually works. I have verified all settings are correct. I had issues on my iphone with email syncing also, so I changed to fetch emails every 15 mins on that to make it useful still. I don't see an option for that on the gmail app though.

That's really weird. The Gmail app has always worked for me, and very well at that (and on different devices). My GF's gmail app works just as well and she uses the Infuse. The only thing I can think of at this point is to go to the gmail application info page (via manage applications) and "clear data. Verify all of the settings again, reboot, and see what happens.

I do have advanced task killer but its not enabled at all. My gmail settings and notifacations are all set correctly.
Gtalk was logged in on my main account. I dont think that has anything to do with this problem though. I have 3 accounts setup and it worked fine for a little bit there before noticing the problem. If it was linked, i would have 3 loggins!
The gmail app has always worked fine for me also, UNTIL getting this phone! Sux

I was reading the help part in the gmail app and there is a long list. I guess clearing data is next for me. I just turned everything off and turned it back on. Ive rebooted today too.

Sync - Constantly on

Ok,
I noticed my battery was being killed quite alot and i couldnt work out why, then my mate relised my phone is constantly syncing the whole time.
now i have already turned off auto-sync, gone through all my accounts, turned most apps to sync manaually and also got juice defender and canceled a few apps (like stocks) disabled to connecting.
Now i noticed every time i restart my phone, it comes up saying syncing in task bar at top. now if i go to accounts all the sync symbols are all greyed out (black shows its syncing). I cant seem to find what the is atcually syncing. But the button at the bottom says cancel sync, i press that and it all stops syncing.
My problem i have is i think its my google account which is stuck doing contacts, but i want to know why it doesnt it stop syncing, it almost gets caught in lop and stays on complete the whole time the phone is on unless i manually stop it??
Can anyone help me?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED - Also just noted that my enhanced email hotmail account is under as exchange, it could this that is stuck as sync. although when i cancel all syncing i still get emails?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED - Ok little more update, if i go to accounts and sync, cancel sync, Everything stops syncing. Then i go through like facebook, exchange, google and sync now, it comes up in task bar syncing and then dissappears afterwards when finished. So question is what is getting stuck syncing everytime i retsart my phone??
No one has any ideas??
Bump, someone surely might have some ideal?
Bump??????????

Email exchange issues

Hi all,
Just got the nexus 5 and live everything about it except one thing, the email app. I can't tell if it's exchange services or the app itself, but "unfortunately email has stopped" keeps popping up randomly and will not stop. Another wrote thing is that the so manager will not let me wipe data (screenshot). Things I tried:
*rebooting
*deleting the apk through titanium, wiping data and reinstalling
Any ideas? I really need exchange email for work and it's driving me crazy.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Seems you screwed up something with titanium so do a factory reset and flash back to stock and test it out then and see if it all works fine. After that then do some changes slowly to see if it comes back again to narrow it down?
I have this problem with my Nexus 5 as well. It's been this way since I got it. Really, really annoying. This has been an ongoing problem for a while. I wish there was a fix....

I just wiped, flashed factory image and factory reset the phone and still getting these crashes and it is still not letting me wipe data from the app manager...
Any other suggestions? Right now, I'm going to try to delete the exchange accounts but it's not even letting me delete accounts!! I'm going to try to switch to ART to see if that helps at all, and will give an update.
Any other email clients for android that support exchange?? I'm lost at this point and I really tried everything I know before posting.

This is total stock? As if factory image?
I don't think there's much you can do to fix the problem. There are a lot of people in the same boat. If you search Google, there are several posts about the same issue. Last time I checked, there's no fix.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, factory image and it still didn't work.
I just ended up flashing twrp and cataclysm ROM and that fixed it.

I'm using Touchdown (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid) from Nitrodesk.
Works perfect for my needs
Had battery drain issues with the stock exchange app, so I switched to Touchdown
Hope this helps for you as well
EDIT:
Just read your later post that you switched ROM
cheers
I m experiencing another issue..!!
I get couldnt sign-in error!!
Any solutions for this!!
Dont frget to press the THANK button!!!
Just an update, the new ROM solution was working for a few hours but starting to have issues again with "unfortunately email app has stopped working" errors.
I think it has to be how my exchage accounts are setup:
- One gmail account on IMAP
- 3 Exchange accounts on push notifications and sync all mails
Outside of that setup, nothing special. Anyone experiencing the same?

One last update (unless it creeps up again). I switched the syncing of emails to date back 30 days instead of "All" and that fixed the "unfortunately email has stopped" messages completely. The HTC One email client never had that issue so I assumed that wasn't the problem but I guess the email client on this phone is a bit more sensitive.
Ok, the problem crept back up again... the error message keeps coming back, and in the app manager, the "clear data" button is greyed out so you can't even start over unless you remove all the accounts.
I would like to ask anyone that has working exchange accounts (multiple) on the native email client share their setup and the app versions etc.

I've been having a similar problem.
Since I got the OTA update last week, my gmail has not been syncing properly. It'll go 8-12 hours without giving me any e-mail notifications, but then I'll get a notification with up to 30-some new emails. I've tried clearing the data in the Gmail app, I've tried removing and re-adding my google account. Unfortunately, none of this has fixed the problem.
Any ideas?
