I just switched from an X to the Dinc and I have a questions about the account syncing. In the notifications bar it shows the syncing icon all the time. It never did that on my X. I have all the settings for facebook and twitter etc set to auto sync like normal. even if I manually cancel the sync, it'll start back up in a couple minutes. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have suffered a double whammy on my desire, after a running froyo for a week last saturday I suddenly had a low memory storage warning and subsequently my gmail,contacts and calander sync stopped. After transferring all the apps I could to the SD card and removing trivial apps I got up to 16meg phone memory and sync began to work again. Yesterday phone memory reduced again and sync stopped, deleted more apps sync started to work but looking at my gmail on the laptop to confirm emails were up to date my browser version declared my account had been put into lockdown due to unusual activity WTF
Today memory back down to 11meg, sync stopped again, deleted a few more apps (ones I wanted) then updated facebook for android and suddenly 100meg of memory appeared . Calendar and contacts sync fine, gmail started to sync and looked to be up to date, however refresh bar in Gmail Widget continues to show loading conversations and sync symbol is flashing. Decided to have a look from the laptop again sure enough emails were up to date, came out of the inbox on my laptop to look at the calandar to check that and no problem. Tried to go back into my inbox on the laptop and up popped the good old Account Lockdown due to unusual activity please come back in 24hours
Now I am realy peed off I was just about to clean up my inbox as there are quite a lot of old emails in there but cannot access the account on line.
Does any one have any ideas cos I do not know where to go next.
I only have my one gmail account [email protected] (migrated from @googlemail.com had to wipe and reset my phone for that one a couple of months ago thanks google)
check your sent items and see if some spam bot is sending out kak from your gmail account. Either way change your gmail password just to be on the safe side.
Got back into Gmail account after the lockdown and deleted 580 emails got down to 10. On my desire the loading conversations still shows constantly when looking at my inbox even though there are no more conversations other than those showing, the sync icon was not showing on the notification bar.
All seemed well for a week then this morning noticed my phone was running hot in my pocket, looked at it and the sync icon was on in the notification bar. Looked at the sync menu and lo and behold Gmail was continually refreshing, this managed to kill my battery after a couple of hours. Checked on my work computer and Gmail account seemed fine, put phone in car dock on way home and sync icon came up again on gmail. Got home and checked on laptop and Gmail account is locked down again.
Any ideas peeps.
Are there any alternatives for Facebook for HTC Sense? It seems to be hanging up my auto-sync all the time and I get tired of having to kill it. However, I have a feeling it's the only thing that will work with HTC's People app, since the Facebook app's sync doesn't seem to work.

can't you set it to sync like once a day? I have mine (HTC) syncs just contacts once a day and not sync feed at all. Turned off sync on the Facebook (Android) version.
You are probably have it set to sync freqently for feeds and such.
settings -> accounts & sync -> check it out
hope it helps!

I have it set to every day, but it seems like when it goes to do that sync every day, it never ends. The sync icon will be there all day until I get tired of it, go into Accounts & Sync and cancel the sync. Accounts & Sync doesn't show anything "actively" syncing at the time, but if I remove Facebook for HTC Sense I never have the problem, so it has to be the cause.
Does Facebook (Android) actually work in Accounts & Sync? It shows up in the list when I add an account, but selecting it does nothing.
You can just go on facebook with the browser. The mobile touch and full site work fine.
Meh!!!
My data syncs have been hanging lately and totally draining my battery unless I go in and cancel it. Sometimes it's Facebook for HTC, sometimes it's Twitter, sometimes it's Calendar. I can replicate the issue by going into my contacts, selecting a user and trying to update their events and updates (in which case it's fb for htc that hangs)...
If I then go into Accounts & sync in my settings, I can see the sync icon not spinning or doing anything and the option to sync now is available, but if I back out, cancel sync is available instead of sync all as if it does know something is syncing or attempting to...
I like the integration to fb, twitter, etc. in my contacts, but it sucks to suddenly be hanging up and draining my battery.
Any help will get 5 starts and a big thank you

Stock ROM, Gmail stopped syncing. No more email comes in unless I manually go and hit refresh in the Gmail app, or go to settings and force sync it. This just started happening. Have the phone for almost a month without any issues, then as of say an hour ago, it just stopped syncing emails. No error messages in the sync menu. Normally if there is an issue with sync, there is a red exclamation mark stating an issue, but there isn't any. It just shows that Gmail was last synced at the last time I manually synced it.
Any thoughts?
Upon further testing, I see that Gmail does have an active connection to the server. If I mark an email unread in Gmail, it immediately reflects on the Gmail client in the Note II. If I send a test email, my Gmail.com shows the new email, but the Note II Gmail app does not until I manually sync it. It's very weird.
Clear data. Should work.
also you might try opening up your settings in gmail, and go through those settings. There is an option there to have gmail sync on or off. I was going to suggest clear data in the gmail app, but that already been suggested.
I used to have this problem frequently on my last phone. I never found a permanent fix but did notice that somehow the settings in gmail would change by themselves and gmail sync on/off was one of them as well as the one where you can decide to let it notify you for every email or just once for the initial email.

+1 -- usually fixes issues.
So....
my Note 2 stopped automatic sync. This is not restricted to any specific account (gmail, calendar, 3rd party apps) but it happens across the board. I checked all possible syncing settings, in general and for each app to make sure that automated syncing is enabled. Still, the only time device syncs is when I restart it/turn it on or when I manually sync it, by turning off and then turning on sync button on Notification Panel.
I have several google accounts on my device and I really don't want to remove all the accounts and set them up again if I don't have to.
Anyone experienced anything like this and has word of advice?
Im running nameless rom and have no issues with sync.
