[Q] Gmail not snycing properly

For some reason gmail will only sync to my phone correctly; ie: notification icon, vibrate, sound; if I actually go into the inbox and refresh it.
I tried altering the settings a bit and that didn't help. I think gmail sync is on under general settings > sync inboxes and labels. I have tried searching google and here as well.
Any ideas?
I am on simply AOSP ROM with Shane's honeycomb theme, if that matters. The gmail version is the newest one.

nevermind. Lock please.

[Q]Sync Internet

I am currently running an FC07 rom and under the Google sync settings there is one called Sync internet. This always fails. What exactly does that sync?

The complete internet .....lol
Your bookmarks....

That is what I thought but it gives me an error every time even though the bookmarks have been synced

Internet Sync
This works with your Google+ account. It will sync your pictures from there. They took away Facebook sync because it was a violation to Android TOS.

the solution is here

its the sync settings in chrome!
In google chrome settings via a computer, There is a hyperlink to google dashboard. Go there and down to Chrome Sync, Reset and delete chrome data. Then in Chrome settings reset sync and do NOT set it to "encrypt all data" just use the fist option "encrypt with password",
Problem fixed.

just to clarify...
It syncs your open tabs in cromebrowser as well as your bookmarks cross platforms... so from every device you run chrome browser on and are logged in to your account.
ps. would like to know if my posts helped.... reporting back or a thank you would be appreciated.

Check to see if "hide declined events" is checked under settings > general settings. It should be the first option.

Probably a long shot... but how did you set up your time zone?
For example I had calendar widget problems when fetching from network, but manually it worked fine

Try clearing the data from the calendar app and then sync it again. I had that problem with a different phone and clearing data worked for me.

Timezone is on default settings in calendar on phone it's network provided.
Clearing data from calendar doesn't help.
If I have an entry on calendar via web browser its there and I can clearly see it. It doesn't show in the android calendar, however, if I add something in the same day through the web browser this and the previous even in that day will show in the phone. So wtf is wrong with it???

I had a problem where my several of my Google calendar just wouldn't appear no matter what (manually triggering auto-sync, uncheck and recheck Calendar sync, etc.), and toggling around the settings even caused ALL my calendars to disappear at one point.
Yesterday I finally figured out to force-stop and wipe the data for Calendar and Calendar Storage, and then letting Calendar resync. Works brilliantly.

Facebook events not syncing with calendar.

My Facebook events speed syncing with the stock calendar and I cannot figure out how to get it back. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and checked all the settings is anyone else having this issue? What am I missing?

If you haven't already try going to settings and under accounts and sync make sure Facebook is checked along with calendar with Facebook.

When I go to the sync option in the Facebook account settings it only had an option for contacts and says last synced date and time.

Then you can't sync calendar if its not an option. Has it ever worked before?

It did, it was great. Everything showed up on the widget too.

Maybe its an app issue with a recent update. Maybe the devs for the app can help you. [email protected]

Are you on a tablet ROM? For whatever reason, when I ran a multi dpi ROM in tablet mode, the FB didn't sync my calendar. There was no option for it. I didn't run the ROM all that long, never found a solution.

Gmail not syncing properly

Hi everyone,
I am having problems getting my Gmail to sync with my phone and it's driving me crazy. I can open the Gmail app and refresh manually and I receive emails, but they don't sync automatically. I've spent days trying to fix this, searched the internet and tried all of the suggestions I could find. So, here's what I've done (each of these I have tried several times at least, except for the factory reset which I only did once):
-Rebooted
-Checked that sync is enabled from pull down menu. Toggled off and on
-Checked that Gmail is set to sync under accounts->settings. Toggled off and on
-Checked that Gmail is set to sync in the gmail app. Toggled off and on
-Enabled background data. Toggled off and on
-Checked that Gmail notifications are enabled
-Under notifications settings checked to be notified for every message, then unchecked
-Using different Wifi networks or data connection
-Cleared Gmail cache and data
-Removed and re-added gmail account
-Overriding filters in Gmail, and disabling overriding filters
-Disabling ad blocking
-Factory reset
Sometimes the messages will sync, other times they won't. When I clear Gmail data it might work for a few messages then stop working for no apparent reason. Sometimes they will end up in "Important" mail but not in the inbox (I set up notifications for "Important" mail and that works SOME of the time). On the web the messages always end up in my inbox. On my Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 they always end up in the inbox and I always get the notification immediately, so no problems with either of those devices.
Any other suggestions I can try? I'm willing to try just about anything. Anyone else have this problem or does it work fine for you? My next move is flash cyanogenmod or update to 4.3 (which I really don't want to do since I know there's no going back), that's how frustrating this is. Oh yeah, I'm using the Telus version of the S3 with stock 4.1.2 and rooted with latest TWRP recovery.
Edit: Forgot to mention that when using K9 mail seems to sync fine, but I strongly prefer the default Gmail app to K9.

Uninstall/reinstall GMAIL
Always works for me when I have issues with gmail.
Heeter

Forgot to mention that I did uninstall Gmail and downloaded it again from the market, but that didn't help. I also tried replacing it with older versions of the gmail app but that didn't help either. Thanks for the suggestion though.
