[Q] multiple google account & chrome sync - General Questions and Answers

Hi all
I'm on a GS4 4.3.
At present I've 2 google accounts.
The first one is the one I use for play store
The second is the one which I use on my desktop and so is the one on which I store my chrome bookmarks. And till two days ago it was nicely synchronised with my s4
Two days ago I noticed a chrome update and since then my desktop bookmarks were no more available
Going in account settings I noticed that in the main device google account the sync with chrome was enabled.
On the second account there's no chrome sync option.
How can I make appear this option again? Or is there anything else I should do?

Shame on me two times
I've found the solution actually two solutions
First one
Deactivated and than reactivated chrome. And it asked for the account to sync with.
Second method
I did not notice that chrome own settings let you log out from the account itself.
So it was possible without deactivating the app

Calendar

A search has not fully answered my question. After having to factory reset today, I noticed my calendar (I input from the phone itself) did not sync with google calendar and back things up. I lost prior three weeks and next two weeks of appts. After looking through settings of the calendar app and the phone itself and messing with it, it still doesn't sync. Is there something missing? I noticed some others in the search had similar problems, but couldn't tell if they were the same as mine or not. Thanks!
stupid question but under your Gmail account you have calendar set to sync right? What happens when you tap the sync icon, does it sync or error out?

Yes the calendar is set to sync, when I sync it says it does. But again, if I check google calendar elsewhere, it hasn't changed.
Make sure you have your google calendar selected when adding events. The phone has its own calendar as well as all your google candidates that you have permission to write with. Perhaps you were writing to the phone's calendar instead of your google one?

Exchange Calendar sync

Hi All
I have my note 10.1 for a week and i am very happy except for one annoying problem.
I use it for work with exchange sync. I noticed that any event i create in Splanner is not synced with exchange server. However from the server to device everything works. I can send and receive emails without a problem.
I have a note 5.3 as well and it works perfect.
Anyone has any experience or ideas?

One of my accounts thru the stock email is an exchange and the calender syncs properly both ways(outlook to tab and tab to outlook).
Make sure when you enter an item in the planner/cal on the tablet the first box on top of the new appt item is a list of the accts or a Dropdown box. Make sure you are choosing the one that is tied to your exchange account so it syncs properly.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much.
I tried again step by step creating an event both on my note 5.3 and 10.1
10.1 still did not add it to exchange server.

Now that i am thinking about it I did have to manually go into the system settings and go under sync to all of the accounts to get it to initially to work. System settings. Than also under the calendar settings. Sync.
Try that
I tried everything i could.
I even flashed latest stock rom i coukd find still the same.
My big puzzle is my gt-n7000 works perfectly with exactly thesame setup, same server.
Disappointment.

I am having exactly the same problem. Calendar items don't sync to the Exchange server. Also I see that not all Exchange items sync to the device. For example, on Wednesday I had 3 items in Exchange for the day but only one sync'ed to the device. Same behavior on my G Note phone, but my razr works just fine.
Check in OWA to make sure your IT department hasn't set a device limit on the number of devices you can have syncing to Exchange .

Not the problem as I can sync using Touchdown.
Still no luck.
I have tried using my old tab 7 and it works without an issue.
I will still check for the number of devices that can sync with my IT department but I don't think it will be the issue.

I had issues as well with S Planner, so I just changed it to the JB Calendar using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar&hl=en
no more problems!
I tried the JB calendar
Unfortunately itshows the same problem as sPlanner
I finally installed touchdown which worked immediately.
I don't like that but no other option
it is a huge shame that I am back to the problems I was having with Dell Streak years ago.
I hope there will be a solution in the coming days.
Thanks everyone.

I got it to work. I deleted the account and waited and then readded, but this time I set it to sync 1 day of email. Now I am getting all of my calendar items.

Great,
When you create a calendar item on your note does it add it to your exchange account?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium
Yes, I was able to create an item in S-Planner and about 15 seconds or less later it appeared in Outlook on my PC.
Just tried it, still no joy.
Thank you very much.

I am having this same problem. events created in outlook show up fine in s-planner but events created in s-planner do not show up in outlook. I didn't try deleting my account as noted above but I did go in and change the email setting to (1) day and it didn't help.
try deleting
I had tried just changing the email to 1 day on an account that didn't work and it didn't fix the problem. Only deleting the old account and creating a new one with 1 day sync for email got it to work.
Hi All,
I upgraded to xxali1 German Rom.
It seems to have solved the issue.
My exchange calendar is working properly.
You might want to give it a try.
Cheers

[READ ASAP] Google Sync Disabled in settings upon addition of new features

I just went into my Google account settings in my phone to check if the new sync app data feature was implemented already and noticed that across all of my Google accounts I have linked to my phone most of my syncs were unchecked (including my Gmail sync and calender) just thought I would inform you guys in case some rely on the gmail notification for work related tasks or what not, since when I checked sync I had 11 missed gmail notifications.
I had same issue,I noticed my daily gmail hadn't come through today checked my accounts sync and all were unchecked, rechecked and all was well

Hm, I don't seem to have this problem.
I didn't have this issue either, strange.
Either way, I felt like it was worth everyone to check just in case

email app not syncing automatically

The email app has recently stopped working on my Z3.
I can manually refresh the app to get emails, but for some reason it wont autosync.
Is anybody else having this issue? And know of any fixes? Thanks
Had the same issue after upgrading FW through Flash Tool. Unfortunately I didn't find the solution, so I did a factory reset.
I hope you find a solution my friend.

After playing around with the settings, I changed the sync times to every half an hour?
I am now at least getting now sync notifications, which is a good sign.
However, it's only worked for one account so far
The updated Gmail app supports using other accounts, I use it to sync my Outlook and Yahoo, you could try that. I think they will slowly depreciate the E-Mail app just like the Android Browser.

Chrome linked google account? How to stop?

Hello, i noticed in Chrome settings that under my main account appears 2 of my other google accounts. Already had that strange thing happening before, which is when i connected main account, another will appear.. So now i want to dissociate them, how do i do? And how/why it's doing that first?
It's quite simple, just login to google. Open accounts manager,login into the "other accounts" and then simply sign out of them.
