I noticed today that I lost sync between my corporate Exchange calendar and my phone. I tried to check the Corporate Sync account settings, but when I clicked on the Account, it brought up a dialog for my Picasa account. I deleted that account, then the Corporate Sync account was not listed. But Exchange email was still syncing, and when I tried to add a new Exchange account, it notified me that the account already existed (even though it was not shown in the list of accounts).
So, I did a factory reset, added the Google and Exchange accounts, restored apps and data (except for Accounts), and the Exchange calendar then showed up again and the Corporate Sync account appeared in the Accounts list. Then I rebooted, and the Corporate Sync account has disappeared from the list, Exchange calendar is gone again, but my Exchange email still works.
This problem has just started in the last few days, I'm running stock 2.3.6 root. Any ideas?
Hi,
I've noticed that my contacts are not able to sync with google. This never was a problem till the time I rooted and eventually started flashing ROMs.
I simply try to sync contacts by :
Contacts --> Accounts--> sync contacts , gmail etc--> the sync finishes but no numbers are synced.
The usual gmail account info comes up but without the phone numbers.
Any inputs people?

Yes, I did check the Display Option. Nothing shows up.
I have stock 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5. I use my Google account as my primary personal account. I have my work exchange account on my phone, but i only sync calendar and mail.
My problem is once i got lollipop, my contacts automatically synced, no matter what account settings i had. If i create a new message in hangouts, i have to sort through hundreds of work contacts i have no desire to have on my phone. Anyone else have this problem? Any work arounds?
This started happening on my Nexus 6P. I don't want my Exchane contacts to sync - just mail and calendar. Not sure what happened, but seems like a bug in a recent update.
I have three email accounts using the stock email app, and a gmail account using the gmail app. The three accounts using the stock app are all set to sync manually, and the peak schedule set to off. The stock app still syncs throughout the day, does anyone know how to set it so it will only sync when the app is opened up?
I had the same problem. Only way I could keep it from syncing was to turn sync completely off in the email app's settings. Then turn it back on when I wanted to manually sync.
Same problem with manaul sync of email
Bought my S7 today and have discovered the same thing. Setting sync schedule to manual does not seem to have any effect. If Sync account is on, I get mail; it's if off, I don't. I'd like to set Sync account to on, then request mail when I want it. The pdf manual reads 'To manually retrieve emails, swipe downwards on the screen.' But if Sync account is off, swiping down doesn't retrieve emails, and if Sync account is on, the emails are downloaded before you swipe.
Bug?

Move your Gmail account to the stock email app and you can set it however you need. It would be easier to have all accounts in one place anyway.

Have you tried through Settings > Accounts long press on Google and turn off Automatic Sync in there for G-Mail and any other Google services you don't want to sync automatically.
Then when you open the G-Mail app just pull the screen down to update your messages which will sync manually.

If you turn auto sync off, it will nor sync by pulling screen down.

If you turn it off then when you open your gmail app and slide the screen down you will see the circle icon rotating and any new emails will be loaded into you inbox, I know it works because I use it, if you have no new emails nothing will change.

Same here. For the gmail account I use the gmail app. For the other two accounts (one is yahoo one is work POP account) i use the S7 stock email app. The stock email is better for me as it allows me to sort by unread and select all. All set on manual but keeps synchronizing. Very annoying...

Yes it is. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.

I have the exact same problem.
I want manual sync (no automatic sync) for my work email after 17:00, but I want to be able to open the app and browse emails offline (WITHOUT the app instantly triggering a sync). This worked in my S5 but has now changed in S7.
Agree that it is a bug!

Any suggestions??? More bugs - bought S7 -just set up my business email as POP3 (yahoo small business with email on Yahoo server) thru email that comes with S7. Want all my emails from my email acount on phone - several years of them that amount to under 2GB (sometimes need see all conversations from past with client while not hear laptop in home office) and then want to sync every 15 min and have new emails sent to phone - (on laptop use microsoft outlook set up as pop3 to leave on server when download). Also since I am starting new bus but want to see emails from old bus only way to do on phone is Pop3 (if stop paying Yahoo yearly fee will delete emails from its server for that email account). My old Blackberry did this perfectly - downloaded all , then every 15 minutes just downloaded new when synched and could just flick thru them. In prior Samsung S (did not own one) used to have setting in synch to "period of time" to sync - in S7 now asks "how many emails to load"- even if set on TOTAL does not seem to be willing to download all my emails. to the phone. Only loaded three months then went back while phone still on, and only one month shows. Whole purpose of Pop3 is to download ALL emails in an email account. Then when delete an email deletes from phone and server. Any fix for this anyone knows? If this just a limit in the native email app in phone or in Android OS so in all phones? If just this app anyone know an email app for non-exchange and exchange servers that will permit you to download ALL emails in email account set as pop3?
Yes - this sucks - I have used a note3, note4 and the manual sync rmail works great - I tried a note5 and it would sync automatically (even though I set it to only manual sync) I KNOW how to so this (since I did it with the note 3&4. ---- the note 7 also has this problem - WHY didn't samsung fix it? It's ANNOYING to be woken up with email alerts, and it's annoying to have to turn sync on and off. We paid a lot of money for this phone - it should work.... come on Samsung......
Hello,
I have multiple google accounts on my s10. I have selected only 1 account to sync contacts ( in the accounts section ) other accounts the contacts block is unchecked. I have wiped contact storage. the phone then syncs the account contacts of only the account i checked. This works for a day or 2 , however 2 or 3 days later or second day, the contacts from ALL accounts are synced and I can then see all the contacts from all the accounts on the phone. The other accounts contacts sync block remains unchecked but it still syncs. I have to delete the contact storage for it to only sync the contacts from that one account. But then again the same thing happens 2 or 3 days later all contacts resync.
I ONLY want to sync the contacts from that one account, not all of them. The others are all unchecked and this keeps happening. I don't want to hard reset. Any ideas ?
I am wondering, can it be an app syncing contacts even though it is unchecked to syn contacts in the accounts section ?
