Nothing is syncing - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Just recently I looked at my accounts and I found out nothing was syncing. It was working perfectly before but now there's not even an option to automatically sync. I can only do "touch to sync", there isn't an option to check mark anymore. I've tried looking around but it seems no one is having the same problem as me.

Not had that problem so far. Maybe someone will reply.

I found out the problem. Turns out my sync was disabled even though I haven't ever touched it.
I had to add the sync button to my notification drawer to turn it back on.

Notification problem: tap on new mail doesn't do anything

Hi,
I've noticed that when I get new mail, I get the little mail icon at the top of the screen. I tap and get the notification manager. When I tap on the new mail item, nothing happens. It's just an annoyance because normally I wouldn't bother and just go straight to the inbox, but jas anyone else come across and know of a solution please?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi there,
Just wanting to check in to see if anyone is having this problem.
To recap, when I tap on the notification area and get the list of notifications, if I tap on ANY notification (whether mail, SMS or reminder) nothing happens. All I can do is exit from the notification manager or dismiss all.
Anyone else seeing this please?
Thanks,
Pete
thats how it is with the stock rom im pretty sure...if you download something called the "topaz notification" it will enable you to do what ur trying to plus go directly to more specific settings directly from the notification manager...i used it on stock verizon...try it out...hit the thanks if it works
Thanks, I'll have a search and try it out

Notification problem - alarms as well
I have a similar issue - if I have an Alarm reminder and go to the Notification Screen, I can't select it - all I can do is dismiss it (actually dismiss all) and I can't see what the reminder was....any ideas out there?
same problem
I have the same problem and will be very gratefull if someone has a solution.
Also had that problem. I just figured it was caused by one of the programs I had installed. After removing several programs and resetting the device to default status, I still had the problem. So I decided it was time for a hard reset. That solved my problem. Drastic solution I admit, but it fixed the problem
I have the same problem with new messages and missed calls.
They wont be shown when I tap on it on the notification manager...
Just pinging this thread again to see if anyone might have ideas how to resolve this without a hard reset...

phone randomly shows syncing?

I've always had this problem since I can remember and it seems to only happen with sense roms as far as Iknow but randomly on the notification bar the little sync icon will appear and stay there unless I goto accounts and sync and hit cancel sync. The thing is nothing is actually syncing. It just randomly does it
Its something minor and small but very annoying, does anyone else get this and know how to fix it?
Settings>Accounts/Sync> and uncheck the auto-sync option. Should fix ya right up.

[Q] Account sync keeps turning off? SOLVED - USER ERROR

I keep noticing that under accounts, my google account sync options keep turning up on the "off" setting. Meaning I miss gmails, etc. which are normally push notified.
I am pretty sure I've turned it "on" several times already.
Anyone else?
Are you sure you don't use apps like Tasker, or Phone Weaver? You might have told such an app to kill sync.
Nope. None of the above!
I'm wondering if the phone loses connectivity, ICS shuts off account sync. But then connectivity is re-established, maybe it doesn't turn on? Or, not immediately at least.
HAHAHAHA. Wow. Just figured it out.
On the power widget, I thought the circular arrows were for auto-rotate. Which I wanted off.
They are for SYNC.
So yes, sync was randomly turning itself off. Because I turned it off manually.
LOL!
We learn every day!

Thanks! I was wondering why it was doing that on my Nexus 7. In the wi-fi section theres something called a WPS Push button and when i was looking at my shortcuts and saw the sync arrow on I mistook it for the WPS thing and kept pushing it off and then wondering why sync kept going off. Feel silly now.

Unable to Shut Off Default Calendar Notifications

OK, this is a bit minor, but it is really bugging me. I use Business Calendar Pro for my calendar. I turn on notification with Business Calendar, and then turn them off in the Android calendar. That way I won't get two notifications. This has worked with the past three HTC phones.
The problem is that no matter what I do, I can't get the built in calendar to stop posting reminders. Every time a reminder goes off, I get two notifications. I've gone into the default calendar app and made sure the notifications are off, but when I get a reminder, it appears that the setting gets turned back on. This is not one of the apps that can be disabled either.
I've also gone in and deselected all calendars from the app, so that it should not in theory contain any appointments anyway.
I'm not rooted, but I'm hoping someone else has had this and found an answer.

Watch has stopped vibrating

My Zenwatch (v1) no longer vibrates when notifications pop up. I've tried restarting it but no luck. I'm running build LCA43.
The phone is an LG G4.
Any ideas??

Mine does this randomly and occasionally. There is no pattern, I can only assume that it is a hardware issue.
I've found a pattern - my gmail notifications don't vibrate, all others seem to. I had this problem before and switched to the stock email app which worked, then a gmail release fixed it. Looks like it's broken again.

I think I figured this out. My gmail notifications had quit vibrating, as well. The watch vibration for a notification is tied to the phone vibration setting for the same notification. If you go to the gmail app's settings, then tap on your gmail account name, you can set whether gmail notifications vibrate, and it affects both the phone and the watch.
Thanks, that seems to have worked.
