Hi, today I turned on my phone and found that my exchange showed only a single solitary unread email. No matter how much I refreshed it refused to download the rest of the mails.
So I deleted that account and tried to re-set up a google exchange active sync with m.google.com. However, each time I click next after entering my details, username and password, it gives the "Failed to create the account. Please try again later." message.
Any ideas?
The universal fix for the "Failed to create the account please try again later" while adding exchange server on android roms is
1) Add your account in Settings -> Accounts & Sync
2) In the second last step, uncheck all three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
3) Finish the configuration and your account should get created (here is where it would usually fail if you have not unchecked the options)
4) Click on the created account and check back the three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
Hope this help you - I discovered this by chance and it works all the time.
I am using Active Sync to push my gmail account to my TP2. Everything works fine on my older ROM and then I upgrade ROM to SEA 2.07.707.1
Later, I cannot connect to gmail server again, it keep asking for user and password eventhough I have check "save password". so i cannot sync to gmail.
Can anyone help me please....?
Is it a bug ROM or anything else?
Has it ever connected to Google Sync on the new ROM?
If no, I've noticed that the User Name format given in the Google Sync instructions doesnt' seem to work: [email protected]

But this format works: [email protected]
If you haven't already tried, try this format.
Also, sometimes ActiveSync will just stop being able to sync. But this error doesn't ask me to re-input my Google login, it just fails to sync. When this happens, I just uncheck all the boxes in ActiveSync (mail, contacts, calendar) and click Finish. Let ActiveSync do its thing (it will delete all your contacts, mail appointment, which is a bit scary). Then go back into the ActiveSync settings, recheck the boxes and soft reset.
This sounds like a different problem. But if you're stuck without a solution, maybe its worth a try. But you may lose all your contacts and other info from your phone, so its your choice . . .

First try....
User : [email protected]

Hi,
I have a rooted HTC desire with MIUI GB Rom. Everything worked fine till yesterday the gmail app suddenly stopped syncing and has been since then stuck on the "waiting to sync" page - "Your email will appear shortly". When i manually sync it, the app force closes. Even if i go into "accounts and sync" and uncheck and re-check auto-sync, the app force closes.
Googling this issue showed that tons of other folks have had this issue but I haven't found a solution. I've literally tried everything (i think):
Manual sync, uncheck and recheck auto sync, phone reboot, removing battery, uninstalling updates, uninstalling the app itself via Titanium backup and reinstalling via market, clearing cache and data of gmail app, clearing cache+dalvik from recovery, full wipe and reinstall of rom, factory reset and trying different rom, upgrading to Nikez lente ICS rom...
...but nothing has worked
Please help. What's the point of an android phone if the gmail app doesnt work

Turns out that only my account doesn't sync, If i use another email address, it sync normally. Suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue since yesterday (Inspire 4G rooted stock GizRootv_1), though I tested the issue with CM7.1 and the problem is the same.
My gmail email address is stuck at " Waiting for Sync", at times the Gmail App FC. If I add another gmail account, stop syncing my account and I sync Gmail with the new account it works without issues.
I had tried several Factory resets adding the account with problem first, last, nothing the issue appears and is related to my account.
It looks like a Gmail problem rather than a phone/ROM problem.
Any help for troubleshooting?
Thanks

I agree it's a gmail problem but troubleshooting did not yield any results, hence the call for help
Sorry, I missed to post what I wonder if you can check in your account.
Please check if in "Google Dashboard" -> "Account" -> "Websites authorized to access the account" do you have an entry for "Android Login Service — Full Account Access".
Having the same problem you described I tried a different account in the phone and it worked, so far this is the only difference I can find is the not working account does not have the entry described above.
Thanks

It does have this piece of access:
"You have granted the following services access to your Google Account:
Android Login Service — Full Account Access"
Another dead end, I thought that having it missing was the reason I was having problems.
Please let me know if you find something, I am checking with google's gmail forum but no answer from anyone yet, I will post if I find something.
FYI, I tried from scratch three different ROMs (Stock rooted, CM7.2 & MIUI) and installed Gmail as the first app and the problem was the same in all ROMs, it does not connects using my account but it does with two other different accounts I tried, my phone is an Inspire 4G.
Thanks

Ok, today the app suddenly started working normally!! :victory:
These are the things I tried, maybe it'll help:
1) Leave gmail unsynced for a few days
2) Go into IMAP settings on pc gmail and sync nothing but the inbox
3) Take all the inbox mails and put it a new unsynced folder, so the only thing ure syncing is an empty inbox
4) Update Gmail to 2.3.6
All the best!:good:
Success!!
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications
I encountered this problem after changing the email account associated with an Android phone. Avoiding the Factory Reset, I cleared the data in Manage Applications with the Gmail apps. Contacts and Calendar synched OK, but the dreaded "Waiting for Sync" message persisted when launching gmail.
Clearing the data for *all* Google apps solved the problem: gmail, gmail storage, google apps, and google backup transport. Then I launched gmail and went through the gmail account setup process. One or more of these two things was the key: configuring the new account through gmail or clearing data from all the google apps.
Make sure Auto-sync is enabled
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
Select Settings.
Select Accounts & sync.
Make sure the checkbox for Auto-sync is checked.

This worked for me! No need to delete data or anything. My settings were different, as shown below:
Settings > accounts section > Gmail
Found the account (it says sync is disabled)
Clicked on the account
Sync Gmail / tap to sync now / sync disabled < I did this. It took a few minutes, and completed the sync. Yay!

Last year when this thread was opened the actual problem was related to this Gmail Forum thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/jb9zyCni3pc[1-25-false]
Do a search for "AGforum0822" at Google's Gmail forum and you will find more detail.
Maybe the problem came back.
Problem solved.
I had the same problem. I removed my google account. Which resulted in deletion of messages and contacts and calendar entries. Then I added back my google account keeping the sync on. Problem solved. Now my gmail syncs nice.
open gmail app
go to your default browser
type

Hi there,
So I just purchased a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and I am setting it up for first time use. When I try to log into my Google account it just takes me to the Google Account Setting page and I can't complete the process. I've tried searching the forums but I haven't been able to find any information. The steps I take are as follows:
1) Go to Settings > General > Accounts
2) Click "Add Account" > Google
3) Sign in using my Username and Password (Same one I've had for years)
4) Asks me to verify by signing in on the website. Takes me to the verification screen.
5) Get verification text on my phone. Enter the 6 digit number > Check "Don't ask me again on this device" > Click "Verify"
6) Takes me to Google Account settings page.
I have reviewed all of the information on that page and I've even gone through and verified all of my log in's and linked apps. If I back out or hit the home button I have to start all over again. I've owned many google/android products and devices and this is the first time I've had this sort of issue. Maybe someone here that's smarter than me can help?
Thanks
**EDIT**
So I actually managed to figure this out by myself. Turns out you need to add the new device to your account. It's really lame since there is nothing to inform you of this during the setup process. Anyway to help anyone else with this issue here are the steps:
1) On a computer go to "myaccount.google.com" and sign in as you would normally.
2) Click on "sign-in & Security"
3) Scroll down and click on "App Passwords"
4) Click the "Select App" drop down and choose "Other"
5) Enter a name for the device and click "Generate"
6) Write down or save this one-time password
7) On the device go to settings > Add Account and click "Google"
8) When it asks you to sign in enter your gmail address but instead of your regular password use the one-time password you just generated (without spaces) and click sign in. It should verify and create the account properly.
Hopefully this helps someone else who had trouble figuring this out.
Cheers,
I had the same problem. I solved it by turning off the 2-step verification, adding the account and then re-enabling 2-step verification.
