[Q]Google Nexus 5 "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Hello,
I had an issue where I was unable to access the internet or Google Play Store so I called my provider to verify that I still had the data turned on. Eventually, we came to the part where they wanted me to sync the phone before resetting the phone to factory settings. Every time I hit SYNC NOW, I got the following error message: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Almost everything has synced however I did notice that Google Play Newsstand will not sync past 08/01/14, Google + is synced to current time however both Google Play Newsstand and Google + both have a white circle with two arrows inside (I believe it is the refresh icon) next to them.
My provider asked me to call back after the system syncs but I cannot get that far. I downloaded the “Contacts Sync Fix” app (I read that it sometimes help) and that did not help. I also noticed that I rarely have more than 2 – 3 bars of signal anywhere I go and at my home, I generally get 1 – 2 bars (but other phones on the same network have 2 – 4 bars). Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I still cannot login to Google Chrome but I can get onto Google (not chrome), get into the play store and use navigation now. My sync still is not complete.

Hi guys, I recently got a second Nexus 5 (RMA) and I've set it up and enabled Google Now.
Google Now works properly except when I say or type into it: 'Navigate home'. When I do so it takes me to an address in London but, I have my home address set to a location in Australia.
I've tried setting my home address in the Google Now settings and in the Google Map settings to a new location and changing it back, but it still takes me to the same London location. I've even cleared the data and cache of Google Search and re-enabled Google Now, it still takes me to London.
The previous Nexus 5 and all other Android phones I have had with Google Now have taken me home successfully.
Has anyone encountered this before or know of a solution? Its rather annoying.... I don't want to do a factory reset if at all possible.
How about if you say, "Navigate me home"?
Thanks for the suggestion but I just tried it and it still shows the London location.
I just got a Navigate Home card show up which is showing the correct location. For some reason when I tell it to navigate home it thinks I live in London!
/Edit
It has magically fixed itself.
Hello everyone,
So, my Google Nexus 5 basically couldn't sign into the Play store, and the Wifi and 3G signal were both showing up orange. I had towelroot installed, and someone recommended that I try a factory reset to see if that would solve it, but it didn't.
After a factory reset, the wifi and 3G signal are both orange, but any webpages I open up are perfectly fine. I can't use the play store or sign into my Google Account on the Phone, which means no email, no IM's, no apps. I really need to use my phone, as I'm travelling a lot and it's difficult to go without, especially now that all the contacts, messages, emails are gone. Everything was synced to my Gmail account, but I obviously can't access that either.
Can anyone help?
First off, apologies if this isn't the correct spot.
I recently decided to take advantage of the free 3 month trial for youtube red, but had to make a new google account because I already got the trial last year on my main google account.
When I play music in the background, playback stops and youtube says theres no connection, thus making me tap retry and then resume the playlist.
This never happened to me before. I am using a galaxy s8. My 4g connection is fine and wifi does this too.
Is it a problem with me having two google accounts now on this phone? Google play has my info for both accounts as does youtube. In settings, both accounts are set to sync everything.
My Mate 9 is a set from Singapore telco and used in Singapore, so it had Google Play Store included.
Google Contacts sync worked fine for the first 1 year of use, never had to worry about it, it just worked in the background.
Then I noticed things were not quite right. (I sometimes add/edit contacts thru the phone, and sometimes I add/edit them thru my desktop browser via Gmail > Contacts.)
I noticed that if I manually did sync now, it would spin for about half minute, and the Last Synced time would update, as though successful, even though there was no effect. Changes did not go either way.
After Googling, I did these steps:
Main Settings > Apps.
three dots to show system apps
find "Contacts Storage" then "storage", then "clear app data".
This resulted in empty Contacts book. No change after repeated "sync now".
After a phone restart, the sync kind of worked, and I had Contacts in my phone populated again.
But I noticed now that changes are only going one-way, Add/Edit/Deletions do go from Google to phone, but changes do not go from phone to Google.
Do you think I should try removing the Google Account from the phone and re-adding it?
UPDATE: Without other changes, a few days later, I noticed that 2-way sync was working, although the sync latency seems longer than expected. In 2016, 2017, I was used to seeing a contact appear on my Whatsapp within 10 seconds of adding into Google Contacts via desktop browser. But now, it might take many minutes? hours?
Hi, I have One plus 3 with android 8.0.0
I went on holiday (10 hour zone difference)and deactivated all app connections (settings-data use-menu-data use control) except whatsapp and chrome and facebook, which only connected to the wifi in hotel.
I came back and activated all connections of apps (wifi and 4g).
All apps seem to work fine except for maps that finds the street I´m looking for, but just keeps on calculating best route.
Gmail opens emails, but doesn´t download or open the pdf or any file attached and google play store opens my apps ans similar ones on screen, but can´t seem to download any new ones to install and doesn´t search for any app I type in the search bar.
I´ve deleted all cache in recovery mode, and also tried changing the time to manual and to automatic rebooting in between (I read this somewhere), but it´s still the same.
I´ve also reset all app settings in app menu.
No idea what to do next.
Also, not sure if the trip had anything to do with this issue
Hopefully somebody can help me as I don´t really want to reset my phone.
Thanks
