[Q] Gmail and Calendar stopped Syncing

Recently my gmail has stopped background syncing, as well as my google calendar. I think my contacts aren't syncing either. If i got into gmail and hit refresh it pulls all the emails, same the other services.
Why has it stopped doing it automatically? Labels are set to sync, background updates are on, im connected to wifi, my google account is set to sync, not rooted. The standard email is updating in the background with my uni account like it should. Gmail is working on my Desire (MIUI).
Please help.
Cheers

Go into Applications for each. Choose "clear cache " and then "clear data ". Ignore the warnings.

I tried this, it didnt work, I then unchecked both sync, and bacgrkound sync, and checked them again, and now it works.
Thanks

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is happening to me again. I deleted all the data and restarted, but it's still not background updating. Kind of makes the Xoom worthless for me as that's my main use for it... (unactivated 3g xoom on wifi only). anyone have any ideas?

google calendar

my google calendar does not sync at all anymore. had the problem that my sub calendars were not sync so i went into settings and deleted the cache there. now its syncing nothing anymore. calendars still shows still up in the account and sync but nothing happens.. any ideas?!

Gmail not Syncing

So, we have 2 ATT GS5 phones that have been updated to Lollipop since the software was released. On May 7th, my wife's phone just stopped syncing Gmail. Funny thing is, it syncs all the other google services under accounts (Calendar, Contacts etc...) When you look at Gmail under accounts, where all the google services are, the Sync arrows never go away on the Gmail section. Also, since I cleared all app data, when you go into Gmail for the first time, it just stays at the pulling down email screen.
-I tried clearing Gmail app cache and data buttons, no good.
-Tried the uninstall updates button, rebooted, re-installed updates, no good.
-Rebooting phone and removing batter, no good.
-Tried clearing off all her pictures/videos to make more space (now have 5GB free), no good.
What else is there?

open the setting

there are nothing to do gmail your gmail app. go to setting. search for accounts and sync setting there you can check or open the Background Data also you can check in Auto Sync. also you may find their your gmail accounts so you sync them manually.
if there are issue still occur reply ASAP and Resolve your issues in some Deeper way?. thanks for asking anyway =).

Question Google contacts syncing every 5-10 minutes in notifications

Very recently, I keep seeing a G symbol in the notifications, when I catch it in time and pull down the notification draw, it says Google contacts is syncing 3 contacts, except it keeps repeating this notification every 5-10 minutes, I haven't added any new contacts at all yet it keeps popping up with this, I have tried disabling and enabling the Google contacts sync with the Google account but this problem continues, it's almost as if the contact wasn't successful and so it tries again a few minutes later, except when I check my contacts on the website, everything is up to date?

Disable it.
Backup contacts through the Samsung app as a file and store redundantly on hdds with other critical phone data.

you can simply disable the notification for that. go to apps and find google play services. under notification section find contacts category and disable it.

Question Google auto sync does not work

I am about ready to launch this phone off a cliff so hopefully someone has some ideas.
Google will not sync more than once, I turn auto-sync off and on and it will sync once and then never again. I noticed this as I realized I received no email notifications from gmail and I would have to go into the app and manually refresh to get new emails.
I have performed a factory reset multiple times, tried clearing caches and data of various Google apps and have had no success in having Google sync more than once after turning auto-sync on.
The phone is 100% stock with all updates installed and the latest version of all apps.
Any ideas welcome to try get sync working before I catapult thing phone into orbit.
