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

I just flashed SkyRaider 4.0 recently and now only my main gmail account syncs automatically. I have to manually sync my other accounts for them to update.
I'd tried to clear cache and data and have gotten the same results.
Anyone else with this issue?
Stupid question: You checking in Accounts and Sync for those accounts to make sure they are set to sync email?
yep - def have it checked off - i just re-flashed sr4 again without loading any new apps and it still will only sync the main account and not another
well it's fixed - with a lot of tinkering and re-flashing i don't know what it was
Actually, I had that problem when I had SR4 installed. I'd get the messages when I would manually refresh, but push didn't work. I'd get messages about once per day, if I didn't refresh manually. Needless to say, that wasn't something I was prepared to live with. At the time, I didn't have much time to tinker with it, and CM had just released 7.0.3, so...
Anyway, I thought maybe it had to do with the fact that I installed with ROM Manager, but who knows?
I was wondering if someone could help me out.
Today when I went to settings, accounts and sync I get the below message.
Sync is experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
It has been like this all day and I have tried unchecking and rechecking autosync. I have also press the button that says sync all. Still getting the same message.
Any idea what may be happening or what I can do? Thanks.

yes it is. I think I got it figured out. Under manage accounts the message was popping up for Twitter, but none of my other accounts. When I click on twitter, Sync Twitter was working perfectly, it was Sync Contacts (twitter contacts) that wasn't. I unchecked sync contacts and no more error.
I didn't really want my Twitter contacts to show up under my phone contacts anyway.
thanks.
My email worked fine with Exchange server in Gingerbread but since I've upgraded
to ICS is not working ok, it doesn't download all emails and I keep getting
"Connection Error" messages.
Who else is having issues with Exchange server in ICS4.0.3 ?
Can we report this issue somewhere to Samsung?
Got the same problem, contacts and calendar syncing, also in two days i got 3 emails on the device as well, but the oldest ones. Have bought Enhanced Email and is working perfect.
Mine is fine on bone stock LP7 or LPQ
check the exchange server for errors if you have access. the mobile device policy might be doing something funky
Problem I'm having is that when I configure my works's exchange environment settings, only the email and the contacts synch, the calendar is not synched at all. Same problem with the Enhanced Email app only mail and contacts and no calendar? Is this something with ICS specifically or with the kernel LP7.
running STOCK LPF with XXKL1 Baseband. was experiencing battery drain. apparently its a known issue with ICS 4.0.3. Tried couple different things and deleting account and re-adding seem to do the trick for me at this point
Same here
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Having the same problem. Mail/contacts sync like a charm, but the calendar just gets stuck. Lot's of wakelocks when I enable it too...
Have been searching my *** off to get this fixed, but thus far, no solution. Tried re-adding the account, even wiping the whole phone, installing AOSP calendar/mail... nothing helps
A search on Google taught me it was a 4.0.3 bug btw, and google is kind of neglecting the whole thing :/
Bottom line is, you need to delete ALL of your reoccurring events. That's the only one i haven't tried yet
Edit: Just tried it, it worked! I just deleted some random events which were really old and sometimes in Outlook 2011 giving some problems with reminders. Now my calendar is syncing again. No wipe needed btw
What I did:
In outlook 2011 for OSX (but can be any mailclient) i created a local folder. I searched for reocurring events, and started moving them one by one to the local folder, which removes them from exchange. Every 3 items, i tried sync again, and after a few tries, my calendar started working.
The problem for me was with some birthdays, which were added from the contacts by my HTC Desire in the past
My contacts are no longer syncing with my gmail account. I didnt notice it at first but it looks like my contacts have not been syncing for a while across different roms but GB and ICS.
Any ideas what might be happening or how to fix the issue?
have you went into accounts&sync and checked if there are errors (and made sure sync contacts is checked)?
yes its checked and I have tried manually syncing by pressing "sync now"
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..
