Hi guys,
I've searched for this problem all over, but can't find anything about it.
I have had this problem for some time now, and occurs again and again.
Gmail, Drive and sometimes calendar get stuck while syncing on my device. Doesn't matter if I'm on data or WiFi. With Google Drive it often happens after I've updated a Google Sheet. Even though I don't exit the document before it says that it is saved, it somehow keeps on syncing in the background. I just found out when I got home from work after a 20 min drive, and when I went into settings and Google, the wheel next to Drive was spinning. The phone had been awake all the way home. The only way to stop it temporarily is by disabling and enabling sync for that specific app or generally.
I have absolutely no clue, what could cause these situations. I have tried clearing data and cache for those apps, but it hasn't helped.
Anyone had this happen as well?
Cheers

Have you tried removing your google accounts? Followed by clearing data for all the troubling apps, clearing data for google play services, and google system frameworks? I would suggest you do all those things, restart your phone, and add your google accounts back. You are not by any chance dropping data connections are you?

Haven't tried removing the google account, but tried the other things you suggested.
Yesterday I also cleared dalvik cache. Will see if that makes any difference before removing the google account.
I don't think that my phone has dropped the data connection at any time, at least it doesn't look like it. Why would that have an impact? Wouldn't it just continue syncing when the connection was reestablished?

If you do drop data connection I BELIEVE the offending apps will keep trying to reconnect and resync thus holding wakelocks. You can check and see if you dropped data by looking at the battery stats built into the os. Where it says mobile network data, if you see red, it means you lost signal. I doubt this is your problem, but it is something that can sometimes cause a problem. I'm willing to bet clearing data for the offending apps AND removing your google account, restarting and adding back will fix the problem. Quite sometime ago, back in the gingerbread days, I used to have a similar problem. With gmail, sometimes I would try and send a message, and it would just get "stuck" and never send and drain the battery, where in hours it would go from full charge to 0. This is why I believe you may have some bad files and they just won't sync on the phone and or they are creating a conflict somehow with what's on google's servers

In that case, I'm sure that my connection wasn't dropped. Well at least not for more than a second, because the last time the wake lock occurred, I was actively using my phone to browse the web after the wake lock started but before I realized it was there...
I will let you know, if this keeps it from happening :fingers-crossed:

Clearing dalvik cache didn't help. Gmail just tried syncing for almost 2 hours with no success.
How will removing the Google account and clearing data for Google Play Services and Google System Frameworks influence my phone? Will it reset my home screen or do anything else?

Also clear data for gmail and all the google apps you are having issue with.
Google play services and Google system frameworks also contain some information about your account, and you want to completely wipe any remnants of your account from your system, so that's why I say remove your google account and also delete data for these apps. Your homescreen, widgets etc will not be touched. Your apps will all still be there.

Okay, thanks. I hope it works :good:
So, we have 2 ATT GS5 phones that have been updated to Lollipop since the software was released. On May 7th, my wife's phone just stopped syncing Gmail. Funny thing is, it syncs all the other google services under accounts (Calendar, Contacts etc...) When you look at Gmail under accounts, where all the google services are, the Sync arrows never go away on the Gmail section. Also, since I cleared all app data, when you go into Gmail for the first time, it just stays at the pulling down email screen.
-I tried clearing Gmail app cache and data buttons, no good.
-Tried the uninstall updates button, rebooted, re-installed updates, no good.
-Rebooting phone and removing batter, no good.
-Tried clearing off all her pictures/videos to make more space (now have 5GB free), no good.
What else is there?
open the setting

there are nothing to do gmail your gmail app. go to setting. search for accounts and sync setting there you can check or open the Background Data also you can check in Auto Sync. also you may find their your gmail accounts so you sync them manually.
if there are issue still occur reply ASAP and Resolve your issues in some Deeper way?. thanks for asking anyway =).
i am having this problem in my nexus 5 with kit kat 4.4.4
all my appointments just vanished and i do not know why. when i try to sync it says that sync is currently experiencing problems and that it will be back shortly.
it is like that since 29 July. i already deleted the calendar updates, cleared cache, cleared data and no luck. i can see all my appointments in my browser but my calendar app is empty.
any tips?

Up grade to lollipop?

As far as I remember it can be related to bad contacts. Several similar situations (and solutions) can be easily found on Google.
I have tried but no luck.
At first, all my appointments disappeared from my mobile phone even when they are still active when i access them from my web browser. and everytime i made a sync (from the google account menu of the mobile phone) the calendar would not sync and it said that it was a problem related with google servers.
i left it alone for some days but thought it was strange for google to have the servers with problems for so many days. after some research i tried to clear cache, clear data, disable calendar and enable it back again.
this did not help me either. but from a clean installation, i tried to add my account again (before updating to the newer version) and i wasn't allowed to do it. after updating to the newer version, i still cannot sync it. now, from the google account menu of the mobile phone, i do not have the option to choose calendar as it is not there anymore. i have all the other options like chrome, contacts, drive, etc but nothing related to calendar.
i really need to make it sync as part of my life is related with appointments and calendar really helps in that.
I also tried to create new appointments all over again but when i try to do so, the calendar app just stands there with a little circle that never stops rotating.
i am using kitkat 4.4.4.
i hope to have some help as i have tried a lot of options but nothing solved my problem.
I've been running my S6 with this rom for a long while now and it has been perfect. However, in recent days, the push notifications on google, namely Gmail, no longer work. I've done the usual, deleted data from services framework and Gmail and i've removed and re-added the account but it still doesn't work. I've checked that it syncs 30 days etc and all the settings are right. I've changed NOTHING on my phone, it just suddenly stopped doing it. The only way I know I have emails is to open the Gmail app and refresh. I guess a wipe and re-install would do it, but I am trying to avoid that.
Any ideas on this one?
I am about ready to launch this phone off a cliff so hopefully someone has some ideas.
Google will not sync more than once, I turn auto-sync off and on and it will sync once and then never again. I noticed this as I realized I received no email notifications from gmail and I would have to go into the app and manually refresh to get new emails.
I have performed a factory reset multiple times, tried clearing caches and data of various Google apps and have had no success in having Google sync more than once after turning auto-sync on.
The phone is 100% stock with all updates installed and the latest version of all apps.
Any ideas welcome to try get sync working before I catapult thing phone into orbit.
