I had something like that about 2 weeks ago, but after some time and rebooting both phones (don't know if that has anything to with it ) they synced but not all at once. It took a few hours after the first contact until it was ready.

New Note 10.1 . FCs a lot

Just got my Note today. Whenever I am using the browser I keep getting a message saying something along the lines of Unfortunately Google.com.android gapps has stopped working.
This is a brand new Note running stick firmware.

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I'd exchange it. Why screw with something brand new?
Yea, what the guy above me said. I've had my note for a month and never once seen what you describe. Definitely exchange if factory reset doesn't sort it out
I agree with the two previous posters. Ive had the note since August as well and I having had any issues.

Did a Google search which maybe I should have done first . It seems to have been caused by syncing Internet on my Google account. Unticked the option, cleared data and all is well .

Quick question: what is internet sync?

I believe he meant account syncing, so if you have an app that needs data from your account, it can access it within an interval (certain time) e.g. Google Mail, when you get an email it'll give you a notification telling you that you have one.

What's up with whatsapp?

Has anyone been having issues with whatsapp this week? I'm constantly getting delayed messages (30-45 mins late). Its so bad that my outgoing messages will go out and then suddenly I get messages from 20 mins ago so the conversations are mixed up. This is happening to me and my wife who is out of the country right now and several of her family members too. Just wondering if any of you guys are seeing the same behavior as well. I've searched Google for any news about this, checked their twitter, etc but can't find anything about any issues.
Thanks!

No, no such issue. It does sometimes take a while to send (even on 60Mb internet), but nothing that dramatic...
Could be the new update from 01 Juli. I've had it happen with a previous update a few months ago. Seems there are more people with recent functionality issues since the new update. (Play reviews) It's why I put off updating untill it starts whining about it, I'm still on the previous update.
Thank you! I didn't think to check the play reviews. Yep, a fair number of people saying the same thing.

If you continue to have issues with whatsapp I recommend using viber as an alternative, it's essentially the same thing but better quality servers in my opinion. You can even make free calls internationally.

thats not actually a solution bro

Yeah its not. I already convinced everyone to move to whatsapp from kik, plus my wife can't sign up for viber right now since she is out of the country and using a local SIM.
Having said that, the fact that viber syncs with a desktop app gives me tons of incentive to switch chat programs again. That's always been my one complaint about whatsapp. I hate being at work and having to pull out my phone to message people when I have a full keyboard sitting right there in front of me. This will be a godsend assuming I can convince all my people to switch yet again.

Me too the same thing happened to me, but the day yesterday, apparently already solved!

Google Search

Hi, I received a kind of weird question from my parents the other day.
My mother used her iPad to search for something on Google (in Safari).
Later my father, using his phone (Galaxy S2), launched Google Search, and noticed her search came up in his own log.
They're quite confused, as am I.
The only thing I can think of is Google logging the IP-address, both using the same wireless network, and Google doing its usual search-sync to my father's device. (I after all have all my queries in Chromium show up on my device, but that is account linked and explicitly allowed)
Anyone able to shed some light on this?

They are logged in with the same account.
If you don't want this to happen then setup your search settings for the account in use to not record any history.
or you can simply not login to google on the ipad and just use google without an account.
They are using two completely different accounts, I thought that was obvious.

Chrome shows Wiki app is installed

Hi,
Since some update ago, not sure which one, my chrome browser shows that I have Wikipedia app installed when I don't actually have it. I don't know where to even begin to troubleshoot this issue other than add and remove the wiki app.
Attached are some snapshots of the issue.
Your help is really appreciated it, thank you.

Exact same problem on my Nexus 4. I even did a factory reset and the association came back!
Anyone out there with new information?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Before updating to the newest chrome, clearing data in privacy fixed it; but that's not the case anymore. I DID find out that it seems to be linked to my google account. Logged out of chrome, the association went away. Logged back in, repeat the same search, and it's back.

Note 4 pics

Anyone able to recover old photos from the Note 4 I forgot what the program was that sync with Google account.
Try photos. It's by Google I believe, that's what has been backing up my pics for years. I hadn't even noticed for the longest time.
Thanks they were waiting on me ?
