Last night, I installed a Quick ICS Browser on my phone that's using thin milestone5 rom with air kernel weekly version. I was wondering what the problem was and found an error on my gmail sync.
In Data & Syncronisation, Sync com.android.browser is checked but it displays an exclamation mark right next to a check box and on the bottom of the screen, it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
I've tried ICS browser+ but as expected, and as it's in relation to a sync issue, It didn't work either.
Can anyone tell me a solution to it please? Thanks.
Stock ics browsers and other third party browsers can cause problems. I would try downloading another browser eg dolphin, opera, Firefox, chrome...etc and try it again. If that doesn't work try a nandroid back up and delete your current email that's synced to your phone and add the same email. If that still doesn't work reset your phone and it will work. Back up everything first though.

Oh i've already been using chrome but my rom occasionally causes some problems on using chrome that i wanted another ics browser but anyway, thank you for your help

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.

Mines not working. What's going on? Anyone
I have seen dozens if not 100's of posts about gmail issues with an auto nootered NC. I can't seem to fix my issue or find anything similar. I have a NC version 1.0.1 that I used auto nooter 2.12.25 and made sure everything worked, market, gmail, rom manager, etc. Then I used the NookColor_v1.1.0_r2.zip file to update the firmware to 1.1. It all seems to work but gmail now closes when I try to delete an email. If I mark the email as unread, then delete, it works as expected. Any ideas?
ADDENDA: strange, I go into the BN library and get an unauthorized error and the system reboots into the 2.12.25 auto-nooter screen.
I had the same problem. GMail was constantly restarting. In the end, my problem was under
Settings->App Settings->Social->Google Account
Simply by unlinking the Google account did the trick. GMail is working well.
Hope it helps.
fpb
thanks for the tip, my NC has slowly spiraled out of control since I did the update. I am now, by appearance anyway, back to a simple base install 1.0.1 auto nootered with 2.12.25. We will see how it goes from here for a while before moving on again.
Has anyone else been having problems with Google Chrome to Phone? Every time I try to set it up, it says "Unable to Connect". I guess it could just be my account...any help is greatly appreciated!

works just fine on my G2X. I am rooted but am running stock rom. Chrome to phone works great
It seems that on 6/3, something happened to our google accounts the mess this up. If you have a second gmail account, try to add that and sync it with chrome to phone and it'll most likely work. Doesn't really help though.. I haven't found a solution for this yet. Looks bleak.
btw, not a g2x problem as I have an evo.
Mine is hit and miss about stuff making it to the phone, chrome will always say "Sent to phone" but sometimes it doesn't show up.

Since this is the first Google result to pop up on a search for "chrome to phone unable to connect", might as well point out here that changing your Gmail account password seems to do the trick - at least it did for me.
Got the same issue with EB ICS BUild 1. But the other browser aren't working that great as well in regards to video. Choppy...

Worked for me too. Unfortunately it would be easier if Chrome to Phone gave you an option to do this from the device instead of having to change your password then reconnecting.
You can use Push2Droid for sending links from Chrome to Android devices.
My gf uses my TF to surf the interwebz and keeps yelling at me that this thing sucks because the browser just closes randomly. I decided to test it out and see what was happening. I was browsing and then boom it just closed as i was swiping down the the page.
I have wiped and flashed different roms and still happens on stock browser.
Is it just me or has anyone else experienced it. I will try to get a logcat at some point.
Most probably an overclocked non-stock kernel?
Try Opera.

I have experienced the same issue. It is the only thing I don't like about the Transformer. I'm using the Prime ROM, happened with both v1.4 and 2.1 (both versions I used). I just assumed it was a glitch with the ROM, worth the tradeoff for other benefits it provided.
I have the stock OTA 3.2.1 and with the stock browser that happens to me as well. Very strange. Hopefully someone can figure it out.
This is a known issue, happens with most browsers but opera, firefox seems pretty good to.
When it starts closing go to manage apps, select browser and clear cache. When it gets to 25mb our so it starts closing. I clear it out every day or so and never have issues with the browser.

Well, maybe that is not what you'd like to hear, but I had similar experience with my wife's TF (yes, each of us have one ). It started with browser crashing often and continued with random crashes of lots of things and random reboots. It was in a few days after the purchase, so I just returned it to the shop and they replaced it with a new one. This happened no matter what ROM I flashed.
This may not be the case, however. You could also try checking your SD card. I read here somewhere (just search it up ) that simiar problems could be caused by a faulty SD card, because some browsers could store their cache there (although most apps will probably use the internal storage by default).
try dolphin browser
I had the same problem, using stock rom 3.2
Been using it almost 1 day and not a single problem yet
Only experienced this when I opened a crapload of tabs.
Just did a complete wipe and installed the latest Emancipation release this morning.
When my text messages are a certain length, the sms message fails to send.
When I try to download dialers or themes using the OTA, the downloads are unsuccessful.
Did the lock screen option menu get moved somewhere else from the first release because I dont see it.
Im just wondering if I need to add another APN?
Thanks for the input!

hmmm... i've been cruising the Eman thread all day and no one else seems to have these issues. My first guess would be possible bad download and/or flash. Did u try to flash again?

What length SMS seems to cause an issue? I have not seen any issues with SMS so far, but granted my messages are generally pretty short anyway.
When you try and download the dialers or themes are you using the stock browser? I think there is a known issue with that. Nun had said "Q. I try to download from the ota and I always get "download unsucessful. How do I fix this?
A. Many have stated that trying a browser other than stock will help...Opera, Dolphin, etc should work. If you prefer to use stock...try this: Download Astro File Explorer, open preferences, and scroll to the bottom and select "enable browser downloads"...then ownload like a good boy should!"
I followed his suggestion and had no more troubles trying to download the OTA stuff.
Lock screen stuff is in display settings. Don't remember where it was on the previous build.
Thank you for the info, you pretty much answered all my questions. I had a brain fart on the lock screen- it was under display. I thought it was in the Emancipation OTA previously.
As far as the text messaging, I cant put a finger on the length because sometimes it works... Not sure whats up with that. But I do know that usually long texts do fail and they will go through if i try to resend them a few times...
What browser do you recommend? Is there an agreed upon one that everyone uses?
when I download i use dolphin mini browser...-
i like opera but it doesnt let me download...
about your sms, you check the messages/setting /message center... sometimes its reset when changing roms..
I just use the stock browser. I loaded the Astro File Explorer and everything worked fine.
I know there are better browsers out there but the audio book service I use only works the stock browser and Firefox. I have tried it with Firefox, but it just works better with the stock browser. My commute is about 80 minutes each way; so I would go crazy without my audio books.
I have always used the app "Download All Files" its a super light app that works with all files in any app or browser and then I can just use the stock browser

I'm having a problem sending and recieving MMS, which I had once before ever flashing my infuse. APN settings got changed somehow (probably me). Reset the APN and it was fixed. Problem crept again after flashing Emancipation. Under the available APN types the list I'm given only has:
Internet+MMS
Internet
MMS
I think I'm needing an "supl" option. Am I missing that due to a bad flash and need to redo it. Or is it simply not available o Emanc and need to try a ROM i can edit the APN by typing like CM7?
Thanks

Its official, both my Infuse and my wifes cannot send long text messages. We have to cut them in half for whatever reason. Any ideas?
Also my data is ridiculously slow. Youtube videos are taking upwards of an hour to load on both phones too. This wasnt a problem on Zeus and I was wondering if there are something I should look into? Thanks!
I have the same issue also can't send/receive pics to my ended phone started when I flashed this ROM. Worked great in last.

Emancipation OTA Problem
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the awesome community and work that goes on here at XDA. I've been reading through all the forums the last several weeks and learned so much about my new phone (Samsung Infuse 4G). Through all the tutorials, Q&As etc. I have successfully flashed my firmware three different times. Started out with Zeus v6, Aeon and now I'm finally settled on Emancipation1 with the Dark Blue theme. I really like this ROM.
Now my problem/question. For the ROM flash and Dark Blue theme flash I just downloaded the files to my PC and moved them over to the phone. Everything at that point was fine. Everything on my phone works great except for the Emancipation OTA. It worked the first time immediately after the flash (just checking it out), however now whenever I try to use the Emanicaption OTA I get an error on my phone screen that says "Sorry - The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close)
I've tried with wi-fi enabled and disabled. My stock browser works fine and I went ahead and installed Astro File Manager Explorer. I also booted the phone into Recovery Mode and wiped the cache and Davlik cache.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or causing my inability to use the Emancipation OTA? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, the only known solutions when that consistently pops up is a reflash. Something did not take right or is interferring with that working properly. Back it up and reflash.
Thanks. Was hoping you weren't going to say that though
One more simple ?
Does anyone know if the themes and other content available through the EmancipationOTA is available for direct download (say from the server to a PC so it can then be moved to the phone the old fashioned way?)
Nope. All themes go though the OTA.
