[Q] Samsung Account Stopped Syncing - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the past 7 days I've been unable to sync my Samsung account and receive the following message in settings: 'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.' Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to get it syncing again?
Thanks in advance

Have tried deleting the account and redoing it again (re-typing ur credentials)with sync enabled?

as well as you aware, there's no meant of deleting samsung account other than factory reset...
I got the same problem...

This solution seems to have worked, thank you. Before I removed my account, I did a full backup via Kies. I realised removing my Samsung account deleted my S Notes, so I tried to restore them from my backup, but after a 'successful' restore, half of my notes are missing.

The notes that are missing were in a folder named 'Notes.' I tried to create a new 'Notes' folder, but apparently this folder name is already in use. Searching for the folder brings up no matches, so where is it?!

Upon further investigation, all my missing notes and memos are still in my S Note directory, but for some strange reason they're not showing up in the app. Any ideas?

[Q] Gmail stop synching after a nandroid

Hi, yesterday i restored a backup after have tried Ginger but now i have a problem with gmail synch: everytime i receive a mail and then i delete or change label i continue to see 1 received mail and if i go to the mobile site i find it unread in the inbox.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
thanks in advance.
No one?
Have you tried cleaning Gmail's cache and data?
You should try a "microsoft solution": just delete your account, create it again and sync all a new.
I had a similar problem after a ROM update, and that fixed it.
I've tried clearing data and cache of Gmail app, but after the first synch it stop again. I'm going to try with the "m$ solution" lol.
Thanks for the replies

Anyone have issues with ColorNote?

Suddenly earlier tonight, all of my notes were lost, the widgets left blank, displaying 'note does not exist' when I try clicking them. All the notes were lost within the app too.
I just found it very puzzling and wondering if it happened to anyone else. I had a backup but from a few weeks back....argh.
Man I like colornote but I had some problems like that in the past o recommended you to use catch note it doesn't have the nice Widgets but it has a lot features and you can sync it with your Google account so if you flash another rom or you erase the apparently you can log in with Google.and you'll have all your notes I have it on my evo and ios devices and love the app

Colornote Sync deletes my data
- I inadvertently deleted all my notes
- Easily restored them using my sdcard backup
- Problem is when I turn sync back on it deletes all my notes
- I believe it is looking to the cloud as the most current status, seeing it empty (since I deleted everything) and syncing all that emptiness to my phone, erasing my freshly restored notes.
- How can I get sync properly operational again ?
Thanx !

[Q] Problems with Calendar sync(I've searched and searched). Can anyone help?

I realize there have been many threads on this, so my apologies for starting a new one. But many that I read were either outdated, or just the same info that wouldn't work for me.
I have a rooted Kindle fire, Market is installed, GMail, etc. All working gloriously. Also, I can get the Calendar app to install. However, I can't get it to sync.
I have followed instructions very closely and even tried a couple of different variations(I have a backup image that I use to restore after each one). I have made sure the calendar sync apk file is in the right place, permissions set, etc.
Is there something I'm missing? When I go into the Calendar app, it doesn't let me add events or select calendars though I do have multiple calendars on my Google account.
If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!
Brent
you need to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
There is info on this page:

Thanks, but I already have that in place. In fact, I have tried multiple versions of that file that I've found, including the one on the page you linked to.
I go into Root Explorer, copy that file, go into my system/app folder, mount for R/W, paste the file, change permissions to all read and the top middle write, then unmount back to RO, restart device.......no luck.
Is that process incorrect? I'm assuming it's something that I'm doing wrong since many people have gotten it working with the same files. But what could it be?
I installed the file mentioned above BEFORE installing the calendar app, and I always reboot after changing permissions, etc.
Any other ideas?
Brent
If it helps, my calendars don't even show up for sync in the Account Settings that I access using the GMail app. I do have the option to sync Picasa, Gmail, and Books, and all options are checked. But no calendar option.
So somehow, my calendars are still not being seen for whatever reason, despite doing everything exactly as instructed.
I'm so confused!

I set my permissions on GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to 777, full open, read/write/execute as the instructions said. Try that.
If that doesn't fix it I would start over from scratch, find a good tutorial and be sure to add everything you need and set the correct permissions. It is possible that you installed a corrupt file or made a small error along the way.

Yep, already tried that with no luck.
As I mentioned, I'm sure that I'm missing something, but I've read through dozens of pages of people figuring this out, and nothing has worked for me. I've tried different packages and started over from scratch numerous times.
Everything works except for Calendar sync, including Mail sync, Books sync, etc. Market works and all other applicable Google apps. Which makes it even more confusing.
Brent
maybe this thread can help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481055
Thanks. I did go through that thread, but will venture through it again to see if I missed anything. If nothing else, I'll just try everything again to see if something clicks. At this point, I think I've been through every thread and every method, but who knows.
Brent
Well, tried everything all over again, and still no luck.
There has to be something I'm missing. There is nothing different with my Fire than anyone else's. It's rooted with BurritoRoot and this is the first thing I try each time I restore to the freshly rooted system.
Outside of the calendar sync apk, do I need to move any other files to the system/app folder? Maybe another file I could be missing?
Any other ideas?

Hmmmm, mine works. I had rooted first with buritoroot, then lost root with the 6.2.2 update, then rooted with burittoroot2. I had the calender sysching under both version of the stock rom 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. All I ever did was place the calendarsyncadapter in the correct directory, change the permissions and it worked....
Going out on a limb here because it sounds like you're doing everything right...
Have you tried using your Fire in a different location? Like a friend's house or mcdonald's? The reason I ask is just that maybe for some reason your wireless network is doing something to the traffic going to google's servers for the calendar syncing.
Also I would be curious if the pocket informant app works for you. It says it syncs with your google calendar but for me that appears to only work when I have the calendarsyncadapter installed and working. So it would be a good test to see whether the google calendar app itself is the issue. Unfortunately it's a pay app (I got it when it was FAOTD).

Yeah, very strange. I did just that, putting the googlecalendarsyncapadapter.apk into the system/app folder and changing permissions to match the rest of the folder, but no luck. I've tried so many times and nothing.
I still Google around, but can't find anything else I haven't tried. It's driving me absolutely nuts!

I actually own PI(bought it a few days ago, actually), and it's a great app, but no, it doesn't work. I can use it with it's own built in calendar, but it won't sync to Google since I have no calendars available on my Fire.
I have used it in more than on location and have had no luck, btw. So it's not the network.
Baffling!

did you try with "any cut" - account and sync settings ?

Yes, I have used it. It actually takes you to the same account and sync settings that can be accessed through the GMail app. When I tried Any Cut(a great app, btw), I still didn't have the checkbox for syncing calendar, just the mail and other items.
It's all just very strange since every other Google app works(which tells me the framework is fine), and I can bring up the screen to select calendars in the calendar app, but there are none there.
I'm running out of hope for this. It's possible I'll just have to do a ROM flash with a "full" Android version.
Does anyone know if I could copy the calendar sync apk from my HTC Evo or anything(since my phone obviously syncs fine)? Would they be significantly different versions or possibly mess anything up?
Brent
when you take care of the permissions nothing bad should happen
would just give it a try - can't be more that it don't work

Yeah, I'll just have to try it again. It's a bummer because I've been able to get pretty much everything else to work that I want, including alternative text input methods with handwriting recognition! So if I could get the calendar to work, I would be very happy!
Brent
Another thought - you didn't lose the case of the filename did you? i.e. it's not literally googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk, but GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk right?

Good suggestion, but no, I kept the file as-is, and just checked to be sure.
I'm curious, but should I place anything in the data/apps directory? I know that with some things, such as alternative keyboards, I need to place a file in there as well. I tried it with the calendar, but no luck. However, maybe I did the wrong files or something?
One more question, is it possible to uninstall everything related to the calendar and sync without deleting each file or restoring the system? Can I wipe the device of anything calendar related? Not sure how many folders it places files into.
Also, and this is probably a longshot, but can I use my recovery program to run the signed gapps file from the CM7 thread? Will that place everything correctly? Or will it only work with the CyanogenMod?
Brent
Also, just for reference, I even tried a couple of times using the Kindle Fire Utility to install the Google apps, and it still didn't work. Surely THAT would have done it right?

[Q] How can I recover my contacts?

Hey everybody. Recently, a family member's power button on their Epic 4G Touch stopped working. I insisted it was a hardware issue, yet when they took it in to Sprint, they said it was a software issue. I figured I might as well try a factory reset to see if it indeed WAS a software issue. I copied all the files via USB, and I did a sync with the Google account, and then reset. They didn't need everything backed up, they just needed their contacts. Stupidly, I assumed the Google Sync kept the contacts. Tried to restore the contacts via Google Sync and looks like the Contacts didn't sync. I don't think I can root the phone as the power button is not functioning. I have tried several software on my Windows Computer that are supposed to recover Android files. The pictures, videos, messages, etc. all recovered. However, I was unable to get the software to recover the contacts. I tried "Wondershare Dr. Fone for Android" to no success. Is there anything else I can try to recover the contacts? I have all the external (I think that's what it is called) backed up on my PC. I plugged the phone in prior to reset, and copied all the files from there. Is there anything I can do to recover the contacts? Thanks guys!

I save all my contacts as google contacts and when I log in to my google account, they are all downloaded. If that did not happen for you, then they are probably lost.
Yea I use Google voice and it shows like a log of all my contacts are messages, calls, etc. In the future you could download an app called super backup. It lets you back up your contacts into a file that can be moved around. Then all you have to do is reinstall the app and look for that file to get your contacts back.

Can't log into Google from HTC 10

Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.
