For some reason my S3 stopped syncing my work calendars on my Exchange account. All boxes were checked to sync, etc.
I finally removed the account completely and re-added it and now I have all the items including my calendar back.
Now, though, every time I open the account I see a message flash by that says "account deleted". Obviously it isn't. I even tried changing the account name but that didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this flashing message?

Which rom? Something similar happened to me on Synergy 1.2. After about 6 hours the account would get deleted, I guess the exchange server noticed something funky and automatically wiped the account on the phone.
*** Forgot to mention I was running the Exchange no security patch.
I actually figured it out. It wasn't the phone giving me the error message. It was Nova Launcher. I had my corporate account set up as a dock swipe gesture. When I deleted and re-added the account Nova still saw the original account apparently. Now everything seems to be fine. Thanks!

I have seen these 2 bugs - and wanted to see if anyone else had:
1. System volume resetting itself - I have mine off as the key tap and start up sounds are too loud. Even at the lowest setting the key tap is still way to loud.
The problem is it turns itself back on. I thought maybe i hit a stray box or it was the Google nav software, but nope, it turned on by itself - or i don't know what did it.
2. Email complete corruption - I went to check my email - notification said i had a new message on exchange. I clicked the notification, and email popped up asking me to set up a new account. My contacts and calendar were there, but i could not get passed the new account screen to get to my Exchange or POP3 account - a reboot did not help. I set up a bogus new account, but taht is the only one that showed up in the email app. My original Exchange account was still listed, but it had the bogus new name.
I wound up deleting Exchange and the new bogus pop account, and re-adding exchange and pop3.
Really bizarre. I am running the stock firmware with Root. Only other mod is to enable side load.
I have the At&t Captivate, but it looks like this is an issue that could stretch across all Galaxy S phones. A quick Google search will bring up quite a few posts/threads on Samsung's Facebook page about it too.
I use the built-in SNS sync for Facebook, which is what Samsung uses under the default Android Account settings.
I've flashed a few ROMs, and at some point (I think it was after trying some of the I9000 ROMs), my Facebook wouldn't sync my contacts anymore. I get the message "sync is currently experiencing problems. try again later".
The things I've tried:
-Flash back to stock & other ROMs
-Clear all cache data in CWM
-Delete SNS Account data under Application Settings
-Delete Samsung Mobile from my applications on Facebook
-Changing my Facebook password
-Tried logging in with someone else's Facebook account, same error with their's
The Android Facebook app loads up fine, but with Samsung, it doesn't sync contacts, it forces you to use SNS for that.
Under Contacts, if I go to the Activity tab, I can see the news feed, but it still errors out and won't pull any contacts over.
Any other suggestions?
Facebook changed how it does authentication, guessing samsung hasnt updated to handle that yet.
Odd that mine works fine. Only time I have seen problems is if I don't log into google account first after flashing. Just flashed to andromeda and everything synced fine.
After you've signed into facebook (settings->accounts) try going into the contact app itself and press the menu button.
2 options might work.
1. "sync sns data"
2. "get friends"
Hope this helps

I had Google setup since its required for the Market, but I didn't sync anything with it (I use Exchange), so just to try it, I checked for it to sync contacts and tried again and still got the error.

I've tried that too, and it just seems to initiate the same SNS Sync and errors out.

I'm not sure about that since some people seem to have no problems with it. I also tried someone else's Facebook account just to make sure it wasn't a setting in mine, and her's didn't work either.
So I enabled 2-step verification on my gmail, and after doing so my gmail accounts on the phone stopped working.
I read that I needed to create application specific passwords in this case, so I did it.
After inputting these passwords (I have 2 separate Gmail accounts), I started receiving mail successfully (it gets pushed and I get the new mail notification). However, I am berated with notifications that there is a sign-in error. Clearing these only lasts for a couple of minutes before they come back.
How can I get the phone to stop thinking it's having a sign-in error? I have searched and this doesn't seem to be a common problem (I'm guessing because not that many people are using 2-step verification?).
I even tried completely removing the accounts and starting over from scratch with new application-specific passwords. No dice - still getting sign-in errors.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I was able to fix the problem (I think). Here's how I did it:
1) Remove all gmail accounts from phone
2) Re-add account(s) to the phone using a newly created application-specific password titled 'Droid Charge'
3) When the error arises, create another application-specific password titled 'Droid Charge #2' and use that
Should get rid of it. Don't know why it requires two separate passwords, but since doing this I have stopped receiving the error.
I can't say that this will work on GB, because I've only tried it on ICS, but did you try just putting in your regular password? At least on ICS and later, when you do that it will redirect you to a webpage that asks for your authorization code, and then does the normal token exchange and pairs to your account.

Yes, I had tried that. Unfortunately GB falls under the 'older phones' bracket, and it's not smart enough to redirect.
My brother got a Nexus 5 from T-mobile today. All his contacts on HTC Sensation are synced to Google appear so on both phone and through a web browser. I was helping him set it up this evening and everything seemed fine - had him sign into Google yada yada yada. When he went into his contacts it was empty, same with his Gmail emails. He has 200+ contacts an quite a few emails in his inbox so I thought this was strange.
I checked the Google account under settings and said everything had synced just fine with no errors. Found this to be odd so I wiped data and cache on both Gmail app and Google Contacts Sync app. Rebooted phone, nothing. Wiped dalvik cache, nothing. Removed and readded Gmail account, nothing. Factory reset, nothing.
Basically tried everything I know to no avail. It's odd that it is saying that it is synced when it indeed it is not - there isn't even an error message.
Anyone else having issues with this? Find this very very strange and there is hardly ever a phone issue that I can't solve and I'm stumped. Now I did manage to just export contacts to storage on Sensation and then copy the .vsf file to computer and then copied it to Nexus 5 and imported so he has his contacts but still no emails.
Considering just flashing CM11 onto it and seeing if that does it but don't want to go through all that if I don't have to - my brother is basic user anyway, he wouldn't even know what's going on if I were to flash CM11.
Just seeing if anyone else has issues like this. Ant suggestions would be great.

You say the contacts are visible through a pc, you mean via Gmail on the pc right? This could indicate he is signed into the incorrect account. I know I have more than one....
Sometimes the Android Gmail app needs a manual pull down refresh to show mail, and make sure the appropriate inboxes are syncing via the Gmail app settings. The manage labels option, I think.
And in the People app, press the overflow button and tap accounts. Check the check box and select the correct account.

No disrespect sir, but this is probably one of the first things I check. I used to work at an AT&T store for 4+ years and this always seemed to be the customer's issue with "not syncing." He has only one Gmail account and that is the one logged onto the phone. When I log into this SAME account on a web browser the contacts are there. Like I said the phone is telling me everything is synced, yada yada yada but still nothing. I appreciate you trying to help but that certainly is not the issue here. There is something deeper than that causing this issues and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. So frustrating.

I understand your frustration. I suppose you've already tried syncing his contacts to your phone? It wouldn't be the first time a Google account was boogered up.
If that works, make a new Google account and import the contacts to it, then attempt a sync. If that works, there is an issue on Google's end with that original account.

Oh shoot, forgot to mention that, this is even more odd. I added his Google account to my Nexus 7 and my GS5. On the Nexus 7 contacts or emails do not show up (even though they say they are synced). On the GS5 the contacts show up but still no emails. Now you can really start to understand my frustration as that is just down right goofy. Who knows, so annoying though.
Anyone who flashed the new android L factory image facing this issue where not all the contacts from exchange server are getting sync'd?
Not working for me either. Also calendar from Exchange (Office 365 in my case) is not getting synced, and I cannot even see it in the list of available calendars.

Can you sync email normally? I couldn't even sync email since it told me exchange services has stopped every seconds
E-mail sync works fine, and even the Exchange policies came through correctly (PIN & encryption in my case). Posted question to Google Product forums as well.
UPDATE: Now after 2,5 hours of waiting, I do see calendar items and also contacts being synced from Exchange, so I'm considering this working for me at least for now.
My exchange is not working. Just syncing mail forever (nothing ever comes up) and calendar wont show. I have cleared data for exchange and gmail and deleted and readded the account several times. No luck at all. Please help me, I need to get to my work mail!!
Just an update. The issue is now resolved.
Here is what I did: I completely removed the exhange server account. Reset phone. Create exhchange server account and let it do it's thing while it was pulling down the info rather than try to much around with the phone this time around. Worked just fine. All contacts / emails / calendar everything sync'd correctly. I am connecting to outlook.office365.com.

During the time for syncing, have you received any notification ( error) which tells you the "Exchange services has stopped" ?

Hi, please help me. I have a company Exchange account on my N5 and everything works well, except the contacts sync. If I create a new contact on Nexus 5, it won't be sync to Exchange. In the opposite direction - from desktop to N5 - works well. (I choose the "Exchange contact", if I create a new contact, please tell me other something...) All the other syncs work well, like calendar, e-mail, only this way doesn't work. So what is your opinion, your method can help me as well? Or it is a bug in Lollipop? If I remember, it worked well with 4.4.4, but I'm not sure
I deleted all phones from Exchange (there were N5 a few times and my last phones as well) and my Exchange account from phone as well. Next I sync and the result is: when I create a new contact on the N5, it will be appear in the "Recommend Contacts" account. Then I can move it to "Contacts" account. It isn't complete solution, but better then earlier
