I have 2 gmail accounts and they always both work upon initial setup
But then one of them flakes out at some point. If its my second account, its no problem to just remove and readd it. But sometimes its my primary and then i have to do a damn factory reset
Its very annoying, just wondering if anyone happens to have researched this to see what may be causing it?
You try clearing the data and cache in Manage applications?
Same thing happens to me, but it's always my secondary account. I usually just fall back on sync'ing it myself. Seemed to not happen on skyraider 3, but is back with 3.3.

Let me start off by saying that this issue has had me running in circles going batsh!t crazy for weeks now. Generally speaking, Exchange contacts and mail worked for me right out of the box using the built in Sense Mail and continued to work through several iterations of the Fresh ROM. Definitely occasional issues but all in all it worked. And, since I was constantly experimenting with new ROMs, I always just assumed it was me who had done something when syncing stopped working.
That said, after weeks of no tweaking Exchange Mail suddenly stopped working and despite all efforts I can't get it to work well again. Moxier, Roadsync, and Touchdown all work without a hitch. And, even the AOSP Email app I used when trying out Cyanogen continued to sync despite the occasional "connection error." Unfortunately, I would really prefer to use the built in Sense Mail app and hope someone here can help me fix whatever it is that is not working.
What Works and What Doesn't:
Exchange Mail - If I delete the account and start over I can nearly always set the account up but, on occasion get continuous "Failure, Try Again Later" dialogs. Once set up, the phone immediately starts trying to sync. The most frequent result at this point is no mail shows up but the syncing icon will spin for hours to no avail. However, if I go to view the folders, I can see my different folders which are clearly from my exchange account. However, sometimes after I set the account up and it starts syncing, some mail WILL start to show up in the inbox (10-20 messages) but then stop while the sync icon spins indefinitely.
Exchange Contacts - Always worked and continues to work
Exchange Calendar - From the very beginning had "connection timeout socket" issues but so I use a workaround using Google Calendar Sync. I am perfectly fine with this workaround so, if it can't be fixed it is no big deal.
Numerous times I have tried
-deleting and re-adding the account
-changing up the sync options
-wiping the phone and re-flashing ROM's (including stock)
-Using apps that prevent the phone from locking
-screaming and yelling
If anyone can help I would be very grateful. I also attached a logcat that ran this morning.

hmmmm...
For clarification:
After a hard reset, no rooting, no ROM, just a plain stock 2.2 EVO, you cannot sync Exchange mail? Contacts are OK, and Calendar requires workaround?
I would check with your IT dept and see if they have any restrictions on device synchronization. Ensure they are running at least Exchange 2007, and try having them delete the synchronization from the server-side.
I would test on a different EVO, preferably one that has never been rooted or flashed. Does your account sync, or can you duplicate the symptoms?
Fully stock EVO has the same inconsistencies. I'm on my second EVO due to a screen issue with the first one and was traveling so didn't root the new one for about a week and had same issues. Additionally, there is someone in our IT dept with an EVO who has had the same issues but, lacking my perseverance (or stupidity) gave up for touchdown.
It seems to be completely isolated to the HTC Mail app because even if I install the AOSP Email app on a Sense Rom I can sync email fine. Unfortunately, the AOSP Email app has little functionality in comparison and what I like most is the full screen widget of the Sense...

Check your settings for SSL and TLS. Maybe something is off there. Also check how much mail you are trying to sync and the size of the mails you're trying to download. These are all in the account settings.
Also find out if your IT dept has changed anything on their end. I had issues when upgraded from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, it could be something related to that also...
Perhaps you can provide your settings and we can take a look. It's hard to pinpoint a problem without specific info.
there are some good suggestions in the thread already, but I have something relatively basic you could try. At anytime after deleting your exchange info, did you ever go into manage applications and see if there was any data still in the mail app, and if so, did you try to clear the data and cache before reloading your exchange info?
Regarding the amount of mail I am trying to sync, I've tried the default 14 days down to 3 days with no difference in reliability. I've also tried changing up the allowed size of emails from anywhere between 10kb and entire mail but still no consistency.
The settings I use are pretty straight forward and haven't messed around too much because I haven't seen to many areas to tweak. The server address is mail.companyname.com and the domain is companynameI've tried with and without the SSL box checked which has made no real difference.
What makes it frustrating is the inconsistency. For example, yesterday I deleted and set the account up again with another combination of settings and email started syncing almost immediately. But, as is typical, after syncing the first 20 messages or so nothing else showed up and the sync icon spun indefinitely. And, contacts of course synced without issue.
If there are other settings you recommend me looking at, please let me know.
fachadick had an excellent suggestion. I've seen similar sync issues when the local cache remains even after having removed the account (client-side), or if a particular mailbox in Exchange was previously synced with a Windows Mobile device (server-side).
1. Try removing the account from your EVO, and wiping out the local cache in Settings - Applications - Manage Applications (the 'All' tab). Check every app that is associated: Calendar, Calendar storage, Calendar Sync Adapter, Contacts Storage, etc, etc
2. Have your IT dept delete any and all sync relationships on the server side.
After these two items, reboot your phone, wait a while, and try again. Question: what version of Exchange does your company run?
Ok so I got a fellow co worker who we both have the excat phone expect mine is white and hers is black. Same hardware same Myns RLS5 same Radio updates and all.
My phone syncs with Exchange just fine no issues, hers will sync fine with Email, contacts but calendar will not sync at all. If you go to the sync area you can watch it spin then flash and start again. No before when she was on RLS 2 it worked fine for a short while then stopped working. I have cleared app data for the calendar and turned the sync back on, i have removed and readded her exchange account, I have had her run the battery down to 1% and then charge it. I cleared Cache davlik, and having access to the exchange server and AD i have fiddled with that as well. Nothing changes the fact that it will spin and flash and continue spinning.
At this point i am thinking that for some odd reason it is hardware, unless someone can point me in a direction to fix this for her.

My coworker has a similar issue though after it stopped working, he couldn't even log into the acct anymore. I told him to have his activesync acct reset/removed/re-enabled/etc. You can also try that.
Help: VZW Galaxy Nexus Contacts and Gmail "Sync is currently experiencing problems"
My new nexus will not sync contacts or gmail. I get the error "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried clearing the cache on both apps and restarting the phone, but the error reoccurs. It has synced some contacts (58 of 141). But the error remains, and the rest of the contacts do not appear, even after choosing to display "all contacts".
Can anyone help?

I'm seeing the same thing, though it's only affecting my synched bookmarks. If you go into settings > Accounts & Sync, it'll have an exclamation by the problem child/children. Uncheck whatevers not working and your contacts should finish in theory. I was able to get all my contacts.
Last time I restarted after a cache wipe, contacts gave the error, but gmail synced for a long time before giving the error. This time, contacts again errored right away, but gmail is still syncing. I'm hoping it will finish this time, and then I'll work on getting the contacts to sync.
I've checked the syncing on my other android devices and there are no problems there, so I don't think it's a problem with the servers.
I actually had the same problem when I wiped my touchpad last night. unchecked and rechecked and it started working again.
Well I hope it's temporary, but I'd really like to get it fixed. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to sync gmail? It's been going for over 30 minutes now.
Bump for a fast board, I still need help with this. I just formatted the cache in recovery and the problem came back immediately.
Edit: I deleted my google account and readded it and it seems to be working, sorry for the bump. I hope this helps someone else.
Unfortunately mine is still broken and I've tried everything. Adding it back in doesn't help. I'm using "[email protected] and my email will not synch even though others do. I have other gmail accounts that are synching just fine. What's up Google??? Man this is frustrating; the email account I actually need most is not working.
I just got my wife a Nexus, and I have been getting the sync error, along with a pop-up saying "unfortunately contacts have stopped working". Gmail is working fine, it's just contacts. This started happening after unlocking, rooting, and installing Codename ROM. I'm running Codename on my Nexus without problems. I unrooted, and relocked hers, and it seemed to be fine. Went back to unlocked, rooted, and Codename, and the problem came back. I'm going to try the previous versions of Codename, and Nova Launcher to see if it makes a difference, but if anyone has any more info about this, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks
Hi, I just recently purchased the HTC One from Verizon and everything seems to be working fine, except the Facebook blinkfeed. When I go to use my Facebook account my contacts and live feed sync okay but my calendar doesn't. It says that sync is currently available and to try again, and I also get authorization problem at the top of the screen. Well if I drop down the menu and click on the authorization problem, it tries to bring up facebook for a second and then close out. I then had a friend try his Facebook account and everything works fine, no issues with Facebook syncing and his posts from Facebook shows up on the main blinkfeed. So what am I overlooking here? I went into the local verizon to see if it was just my phone that might be bad, but I tried syncing up my facebook at the store and it also had the same issues.
I've tried removing my account, changing passwords, changing my email address I use to log in, I even done a factory reset with data wipe nothing works. Hopefully someone here might have experienced the same issue and knows where to try to fix it.
Thanks..
Today my HTC 10 rebooted itself, and once it was done I got a notification about my gmail accounts needing "action required". When I tried to solve them by entering my password, it would just stay on the loading circle. After trying to clear cache, data, and all that stuff nothing was working. So I went and removed the accounts. Then I started with adding my main gmail account. That worked fine, but then I tried to add another. It would go through the steps normally, but after it was done nothing happened. The account wasn't added. It doesn't loop or give me any other error, it just asks like nothing ever happened. I tried multiple times. I removed the main account too just to see what would happen, and it won't add that either. So I can't get into gmail, play, etc. On top of that, Yahoo won't work either. I try to sign into that and I just get a "something went wrong" message. Somehow Outlook works fine, and that seems to be a miracle, but it doesn't show up under Accounts & Sync. I'm not sure if that's the main issue? I have tried multiple Google searches and nothing helps. Not the "clear cache, data, ect" on anything Google related. Maybe I'm missing something else.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem without a hard reset?
