[Solved] Nexus 5 won't sync with Google! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running stock rom and notice something strange on my phone. All Google services such as Gmail/Voice/Android Device Manager do not sync automatically. I need to open app and hit update manually.
Factory reset didn't help. Any idea?

Have you turn sync on in the setting menu? menu>accounts>email addy>check the needed boxes/

Yes, I did. Also cleared cache but it didn't help.
Beside that, the Exchange Email works just fine.

I had the exact problem! I finally realized that I had turned auto sync off.
setting>Data Usage>3 dot menu> check the AUTO-SYNC DATA
Then
setting>account>email addy>check the needed boxes.
took me hours to figure this out! lol

[Q] Why is my phone always active??

Hey,
i noticed that my phone is longer active than i use it

Because you enabled Background Data and auto-sync - nothing to worry.

Backgroud data = yes
Auto-sync = no
thats my settings since i have the phone ^^ but now it won't sleep anymore
Exchange ActivePush keeps the phone active, Latitude too. You could use the App Process Monitor, but everything looks perfectly normal.
oh, maybe i should mention that my mobile data is always off...
the phone is offline and tries to sync?
Ok, that is wierd.
You could try Process Monitor Widget from the Market to record processes running on your phone.
Its hard to tell what Process keeps your phone running.

I know you said you have mobile data turned off ...but like ItsDace has mentioned earlier - could you try logging out of / disabling Google Latitude?
it worked well in extending my battery's life.
edit: on a closer look - your mobile data does not seem to be off ... the screenshot you gave shows 'green' icons for 3G... meaning you are connected to google services over data network?
thx, i will try!

Try clearing the cache and data from the applications>All>Gmail settings screen. Then open up gmail again and it'll re-sync. That should work.

Thanks I tried it and it seems to work but when Im on my tablet It seems to only get pushed just to the tablet not the phone as well. Is that normal?
Do you have the "Mobile data always-on" checked?

Lol yea. Unless it goes into power saving mode
Go into settings > Accounts and Sync > select the account that is not syncing > Then make sure that the Sync Gmail checkbox is checked.
It is it does sync but it doesn't sync as in pushed notifications I can have an email and I won't know unless its refreshed
Bump.
Having the same problem. Gmail push isn't working reliably. Sometimes it works, but mostly not. I've verified all settings for syncing. If I go into a Gmail account and select Refresh it downloads the new emails, but auto notification is just flaky as heck, and mostly not working.
I'm running pure stock, not rooted. Anyone else seeing this, or have suggestions for fixing?
Thanks.

This is what messed up my sync a while back:
Settings > Power > Enable power efficiency
If it's on it will turn off auto sync based on what when idle. That fixed my gmail issues, dunno if it's the same for you.

I did have that setting turned on, so will leave it off and see if that's the issue.
Thanks.
Try reinstalling gmail through the market.

I know it sounds strange, but its because the date and time aren't set correctly. Even if it's one minute off it'll cause issues. It's something to do with security; firewall will block some internet programs.
I set it to match internet time, then set it to auto update and it's been fine ever since.

are you talking about tablet time??i will check mine,also where do you set auto update??
thanks

if you want to change the settings of time's auto updating, go to Control Panel>Clock, Language and Region>Date and time>Internet Time (tab)> Change Settings there.. You must have checked the "Sychronise with an Internet time server" and the server must be "time.windows.com", then click "Update Now "and "Ok".
This will set your time auto update.
thanks for that,i did all that facebook app still no good,no content or news feed,just a blank page although i am logged in,never mind i can still access facebook through my browser,once again thanks

How about try Factory Reset?
I think that this has to do with your location services. If you go to location and select improve accuracy, make sure that you have bluetooth scanning disabled. leaving that on leaves the bluetooth on and allows your phone to connect to paired devices whenever.

I'm running a Marshmallow 6.0.1 Android TV Box (Build T5ZP0007) and I have the same problem with Bluetooth not staying disabled after reboot. If I have it disabled, it ALWAYS enables itself on reboot. This was occurring since I received the box before installing any apps. I checked the settings you mentioned but I have my Location Service (GPS) disabled. I've checked EVERY apps' PERMISSION and tried force quitting the Bluetooth Sharing app before and after clearing cache and data. Nothing worked. The damn Bluetooth still turns back on at reboot.

After all of that research,, I couldn't figure it out. Since I have root access, I ended up renaming Bluetooth.apk to Bluetooth.apk.disabled. Problem solved.

About Google device Policy apps

Any chance to bypass the location for the admin of the account? The app creates a second option menu that cant be accessed for the user, only by admin.
Even with no GPS signal, im afraid Googles locates you with A-GPS technology. But what if i root the phone and firewall all data traffic?
Thanks

I noticed these * marked list to sync which comes up with location reporting also and other stuff on this morning. And miui have provided option to disable a-gps (which already mentioned to turn it off for battery).

Well, it should be good for me if i could switch off mobile data. By doing this no app (installed by myself or by the admin) is gonna send any data.
Then when i want to be "on location" i could switch on data, sync mail and that stuff.
BTW i dont know if google can access to the phone when its switched off, or when the mobile data is switched off by the user What do you think?
regards
