Has any one got this to work? Mine just says it down and try later?
Yeah mine just worked. I downloaded the Facebook app from the market though. I didn't know the phone came with one.

The Facebook Sync that came with the device isn't working for me either. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
Not working for me either. No bueno!
It's not working for me either... I get the same message as some other posters, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried re-installing the facebook app, and removing the facebook account in Settings>Accounts and sync. No luck yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I haven't gotten mine to work either. I have the same errors as everyone else is reporting.
I don't see any other way of doing it via downloading a market app either.
I really don't care if it is integrated via samsung or an app, I just want to check it out.
Any suggestions?
Someone should try to contact AT&T or Samsung about this.
Having the same problem here. What did you do to accomplish the same with the Facebook app?
I don't know what happened but mine finally started working. I did root the device but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
So facebook is now showing contacts on my phone, as far as actually properly 'syncing' I don't know yet.
However, they must have just fixed what was wrong with the connection.
More later
Bloo is an app that'll give you notifications similar to the BB FB app when someone sends a message or makes a comment or even pokes you. Although I have had issues when I try to go to the photo that someone just commented about, bloo can't get there. But it does notify me. I just have to use the FB app if I want to reply back.
Mine worked fine yesterday.

My fb sync is definitely not working either. I've probably tried it at least 15 times since sunday. A few hard resets, reseating battery and sim. Tried setting up fb sync as the very first thing after a hard reset so no other settings or accounts conflicted... Nothing. I would very much like this to work. Whats strange is that in the contacts application the activities tab pulls my news feed, but within my contacts and groups there are 0 contacts that show and I get the sync error saying it will be back shortly in the accounts settings.
any update on this? i really want my facebook contacts to sync.
Still no go for me either :/

Yep, same here. It pulls in my activities, but not my contacts with the very same error. I've read on some other forums that it's a FB error and resolves itself when it feels like it. But it does seem weird that it would get updates and not contacts unless it's pulling that from somewhere else. I'm wondering if it has to do with the security settings I have set up on FB?
Well I finally got it to work. Contacts sync 2 days ago but did have to lynk a few manually. Then it would just have a error if it tried to auto sync. Rooted my phone yesterday day and removed att apps and now it will sync every hour no problems. Duno if either helped but worth a shot.

Mines not working. What's going on? Anyone
Hi all.
Hopefully someone can help.
Basic I've bought this tablet and it was already rooted.
I'm not sure what rom I am on but a screen picture is attached.
I am using the exchange e-mail for my gmail.
However it seems to work fine for the first few days and then it stop syncing and e-mail start disappearing out of my inbox.
I've tried deleting the account and installing them again but the same thing happens.

When it stops syncing - does it work when you sync/refresh manually from app? Do you have any battery saving apps installed? Tthose can disable network connectivity while screen is off and stop apps from background sync.
The other thought is that I wouldn't trust device used and rooted by someone else - I'd do factory reset and re-flashed ROM. Who knows what background apps are installed there?
In your email settings, try m.google.com as your incoming server.
Gmail doesn't use push when using sammy's email app. This should fix/help with auto-syncing.
Also, you have your sync setting set to peak/off peak. Maybe an issue? See if a more frequent schedule is available.
Hi guys.
Thanks for the responses.
I would flash the Rom again but I have no idea which it is.
My email settings are m.Google.com it works fine for first few days then just stops.
I then have to go into gmail to pick my missing mails.
Weird and very annoying ......
When I turned on Auto Sync. I get the message, "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I can't sync my contacts at all. I also tried Contacts Sync Fix(app), and thay didn't seem to help.
Please any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Same, getting a error also. Must be the servers then.

I'm not so sure about that. Can you check the date the sync was last successful? My sync date on my Galaxy S3 was a few months old (in Feb I think). I think (at least I) am running into the problem described in http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=42641. I tried a few suggestions there like clearing out my contacts data etc. And then I deleted my account and recreated it and the problem is worse now. I don't get a last successful sync date at all anymore. No errors. But no syncing either. I can create new dummy records and it will eventually (a few minutes later sync). And changes I make on the phone will also eventually reflect in the cloud. Meanwhile no problems syncing on my Nexus 10. But if I change a real record (possibly a Google+ account), it never syncs up.

Well I removed my google account yesterday and re added it and now everything syncs up fine. My last sync time was about 5 minutes ago. It syncs constantly throughout the day since I use G+.
I have the same problem. If I clear the contacts data, it'll sync but only once. If I add something on my phone or on the website, the sync won't work again until I re-delete the contacts data again.
I have this for about 3 weeks now. I even reinstalled the ROM, but not helped.
Acer E350 with Android 4.0.3 (with 5 different updates, even with the first version). Everything worked correctly until May 15.
I solve this problem, I think...
Google Account Dashboard -> Account -> Security, I deleted all (mobile) apps*connections to my account, then deleted my Google Apps account on Android and reinstalled it. Now I can access everything again!

I've been having this issue for the past week and can't seem to fix. I've gone to Settings and deleted cache and data, Google contacts will resync and bring the contacts back, but then a short time later, they are gone. I've done this about a hundred times already. I've also gone and deleted duplicate contacts, installed an app to fix broken contacts, all to no avail. I don't know what else to do at this point, very frustrating. I'm having this issue on different roms that I flash.

I'm a little late to the game here, having recently acquired a One, but this fix worked perfectly for me. So far it's been a few hours and the sync still refreshes without issue. Kudos.
Which settings?

I can't find this settings. Does anyone know where this settings is at? This sync error is heavily draining my battery.
I bought Moto G 2015 three weeks ago, and phone has been upgraded to MM on first day of use.
I used Galaxy S3 for many years before and never had gmail sync problems, but now I have.
The problem appears in no push message that I have new gmail emails. Only when I open Gmail app or sync manually, I can see new emails.
I have many apps installed, such as Viber, Facebook Messenger, Mail.ru (another email client), all messages from them are recieved immediately. The problem is only with Google.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there some solution of this? All that could be done was done. I loose all hope to fix it.

For some stupid reason this is the default behavior of Gmail...
Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Google and turn the slider on for Gmail, should be good after that. Sometimes have to press the overflow menu and select "Sync Now" to sort of jump start it.

Of course I have Gmail slider on all time.
I send email from PC to myself and CC to my wife -- wife's phone notifies about new email immediatelly, but my moto G can keeps silence for many hours (or days?).

Had to ask... Many people have noted that is off by default, depends how you setup your device in the wizard.
I assume you have cleared caches, cleared data on Gmail, tried removing updates and reinstalling them, etc?

Yes, I did all of this abovementioned things.
I just added gmail account to another email client (mail.ru), and tried to send several emails to myself -- notifications come momentally!
It turns out that is someting wrong with gmail app? But the same version works good on wife's phone.
I've had this issue intermittently as well. It did not occur with 5.1.1. Seems to be a bug introduced with Marshmallow. I cleared the data of the Gmail app and that seems to have mostly cured it for now.
bug or feature? i had the same issue...
a battery saver function seems to be the culprit for me
settings > battery > menu > battery optimization
turn optimization off for gmail
it went back to getting mail that shows up in the middle of the nite
[i turned the battery saver off and still get good life
but i'm not using the phone for much now...]
I cleared cache of gmail, rolled back to firmware version, turned off battery optimization for gmail -- nothing helps me.
But yesterday I installed many others email clients, which work with gmail -- EVERY of them notifies about new emails monentally, but not gmail. And EVERY of them has battery optimization turned on..
Could this be related to Doze mode? When in Doze mode synchronizations are "dozed" and can be delayed up to 30 minutes, typically 5-10 though... Didn't even think of that

I send email to myself when phone is not in Doze mode, and there is no any notification. But others email clients work perfectly.

It seems that I resoved the problem!
Apps -- google play services -- manage data -- clear all data
Since I did this, I have every new email notification and sync! I tried to find solution all this time.
Battery optimization is on for gmail and all work as it should right now.
I hope.
Happiness was short. In a hour I send ti myself email and didn't receive notification. Went to google account sync settings and there was exclamation mark near gmail. Pressed to sync mannually and new email has come.
That's definitely problem with Google sync..
Nothing remains, but must install other email client.

Hi all
Hope your all enjoying your new phones
Does anyone else have the same problem with gmail as me? After maybe 30 minutes to an hour i keep on getting the message that my sign-in has failed and i need to keep on entering my password, also when i delete emails they either stay there or reappear later on!
Nope, but I do sometimes get the error that it couldn't sync my contacts on the regular email app for my work Office 365 exchange account
This is what I get and it's driving me crazy !
No problems here with gmail...yet.

Used to be a common problem with Android. The solution was what was stated earlier, remove the account and add again. I don't think I've seen that problem since KitKat...
And with emails coming back, this used to happen to myself as well. I have my Yahoo email come through the Gmail app and it used to happen all the time. Now when I get an email I don't care to read I'll delete it from the notification bar and I haven't seen it return like it did to myself on marshmallow on my s7. But I'm able to see multiple emails and still delete them individually from the notification bar now, I couldn't do that before.
