Everyone,
This is a curious one,... I came back to Europe from the US on Friday morning, turned on my htc touch pro, and my email synced up fine, emails, calender, tasks, et.al., but since Friday morning, will not sync emails,...
I changed nothing, and I've checked everything, but I cannot get the damn device to sync emails again,...!
Any thoughts on this are appreciated,...

Are you OTA syncing mail?
If so and you probably have checked it but i'll mention it any way as it caught me out recently, check your ActiveSync schedule settings are not set to "Manual". Mine switched to manual recently and it took me a while to work out why i wasn't receiveing mail.
thanks deedee, and yes, this is the first thing i checked and in the activesync program on the device, it's set to, 'as items arrive' so, no problem there,...
what's stranger though, is activesync is showing that i am 'connected' to ms exchange, and my calender sync's,... i can also get on the internet via gprs and ie,...
this is making me crazy, but in any case thanks for the reply,...

i thought it probably was the first thing you had checked, but i posted it as much so that a new face will find it as a solution as anything else. Having only recently gone to push email it took me a while to find it the first time my email stopped being pushed.
o.k., now i am really confused, since i did this test,...
i went to my pc and put in to the 'tasks' a new task called 'test task,' waited a few minutes, and then synced the htc touch pro through activesync and my french orange sim card,... then went to 'tasks' on the htc, and the 'test task' was there,...
i then deleted it on the htc, hit 'sync' in activesync, then went to my pc, and the 'test task' was deleted,...
so, why are my tasks, calender items and contacts syncing and not my emails,...? and especially since they synced fine, once, on Friday morning,...?
and further to all this, i just dropped my sim card in to my old htc tytn II, which i have not synced since oct08, and all emails, contacts, calender and task items synced perfectly in about 2-minutes, so, not my ms exchange server,... must be the htc touch pro, a setting or something,...
thanks for your thoughts and help on this, but still not resolved,...
ek
just for info, what i had to do is delete all sync relationships and re-install them, and then re-sync,...
all is working now, but still a mystery why this happened after returning from the US,...
thanks for the reply again deedee,...

Is anyone having issues with Zune wireless sync feature on their Windows Phone? My phone will always start a wireless sync, but it will always freezes partway through. I've tried all of the things listed below, but have had no success getting the phone to perform a complete wireless sync.
- uninstalled and re-installed the Zune software
- removed the phone and re-setup the phone wifi sync within the Zune software
- confirmed the Zune software is open through the Windows Firewall
- tried turning off Microsoft Security Essentials
- updated the router firmware
- changed the router settings to WPA2-AES from WPA2-AES+TKIP
- changed music/picture/video syncing to "manual" sync
- have podcasts set to sync "all"
- tried doing a battery pull on the phone
None of this has helped me to complete a wireless sync. I'm trying to sync a Samsung Focus using a Linksys WRT54G2 router with Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks!
Do you have a microSD installed in your phone?
Nope, I haven't installed a microSD card on the phone.
Interesting. I had something similar to this happen onto my phone before it just stopped wirelessly syncing entirely. After 10 minutes, almost on the dot, it would attempt to do it--go to the gray "connecting" screen. The PC wouldn't register it, and nothing would happen.
Of course, now my phone doesn't even try, and nor does the one I got to replace it to fix this issue, so you're a step ahead of me.
I'm having the same problem. I haven't tried to wirelessly sync in a long time, but not that i am, it starts to do it, and it goes about 40-60% complete....then doesn't go any further...
I've tried a couple of things as well. Reinstalled zune, checked the firewall setting, disabled and re-enabled the wireless sync function...and nothing seems to make it wirelessly sync 100%
can't seem to find anything about it online....
Hi!
I really like using whatsapp and gmail on my desire S android phone.
There's just one problem...it doesn't check for new messages all the time.
As soon as I go and do something that requires internet on my phone, I get new messages/gmail-mails...but it doesn't automatically check it. I have checked these programs on the synchronisation tab (settings).
Is there a way to make your phone internet-connected at all times, which will probably resolve my not-instant-syncing problem.
Thanks!
i believe the most you can do is go to settings>accounts&sync and select background data and auto-sync
So back in October, my wife and I both purchased the Note 5. We started using Google Photos, and I found a way to add both of our google accounts to each others phones so we could share our photos instantly. I had a problem adding her account to my phone, as it would sync everything (contacts, calendar, health data, etc.) immediately, but this did not happen when adding my account to her phone. I messed around with it for some time, and found an option that was not the same on both of our phones. (I think it was the backup account, but can't remember for sure). Whenever I disabled the option, whatever it is, on my phone, it allowed me to add her account without initially syncing. Keep in mind, my method for doing this on both phone was as follows every time I tried it.
1. Turn off Global Auto Sync
2. Add alternate account
3. Turn Off Mobile Data and WiFi so the phone was not online
4. Turn Auto Sync back on
5. Settings>Accounts>Google>(other account) and turn off Auto Sync on everything except Photos (Gmail in the case below)
6. Turn On Mobile Data and WiFi
Kerblam! Success.
However, I am trying to accomplish the same thing with another google account I have an alternate use for, but only want the gmail to sync. But no matter what I try, every time I add the account, it initially syncs everything. (I know this because next to every category, it says "Last Synced on MM/DD/YYY hh:mm) And obviously, all of my other account contacts, calendar data, etc. appear. I don't want to take the chance of just manually deleting everything after turning off the sync for each item in case the sync gets turned back on after some update or somethings, and it syncs the account with the phone and I lose everything. Has anyone had success doing this? I've been scouring the web for quite some time now with no luck. Neither Google or Samsung were of any help. Thanks in advance for any help : )

Since setting up my phone on 20th April, Google contacts has failed to sync, but Samsung contacts is working fine. This is showing up in both the Cloud/Accounts/Google contact sync and in the Contacts App /manage contacts/sync contacts. Is anyone else experiencing the same, thinking it may be that i used Smart switch to transfer content from my S6.

Download "contacts sync fix" from the play store and run it. Worked for me.
Is this with all contacts? Or just those You've entered in your new phone? What if you add a contact via the website? Does that sync to your phone?

I was having the same issue of not syncing Contacts in two Google Account, used the suggested app, it seems to be working. Thanks.
I've noticed I lost some contacts when I synched my s7 to my s8. I realized it when I would get texts from someone, see no name and just their number in the messaging app but was able to figure out who it was based on the message history which transferred over fine using smart switch. Of course the missing contacts were propogated to google and not sure how they got deleted.
Hope this solution might work for you ! I'm using S8 plus and the root cause was that the battery saving mode disabled these things

this ap worked for me, THANK YOU SO MUCH
This sucks!
"sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly"
... AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT WORK SINCE!
Does the app in the store kick it back into gear... Or is it just a temporary fix?
Fixed
After switching over to to the S8+ from the S7 EDGE, I
1. uninstalled the main Gmail account from my new phone
2. Reinstalled it
3. Restored contacts from main phone settings menu
4. Went to phone, contacts menu, and removed the "hide contacts with no number"
5. Magically, the contacts I wanted... were there. But they had their numbers stored in another account. Not sure why.
6. Copied and pasted the number I had been missing into all my main or pertinent Gmail accounts from within the contacts app of the phone.
7. Beautifully, the contact shows up now... AND... the phone backs up and syncs contacts as it should with no error message.
:laugh:
Thanks, my friend was having this issue on his older galaxy phone.

If you turn on power saving mode , just turning off the Power Saving feature .
I try on my Galaxy Note 5 it work....
This app fixed my contacts issue as well. I've used iOS for five years now, but now bought a Samsung S8. LOVE this new device! Only my new contacts wouldn't keep properly synced to my Google Apps account (basically my domain coupled with gmail). This app fixed this, everything now works peachy! I'm going to buy this app just to reward its creator! THANKS!

Disappearing contacts
I have Verizon S8+ and lately gmail contacts I have had in my Android phones for years, have started disappearing. Last week, I noticed in messages, a number with no name. when I looked at texts, I noticed this is a friend I have had in my phone for years and his number had been deleted in gmail. I noticed about 10 others that same thing has happened. I had to go back into gmail and enter number. Anyone know why this is happening?
Root cause = battery saving mode

I have the same phone and issue and this was the root cause too! Thank you!!!
What's annoying is that no where does it say anything about the mode interfering with your account settings.
Thank you for the find!
I am suffering from this problem as well, tried turning off battery saving mode, downloaded the contact sync fix app and still nothing. Still says last contact synced in March. Also my calender won't sync nor Keep Notes either :/
