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
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 Friends
I'm not Phantom's Blazer Rom (1 version back). I have several Google Accounts as well as Google Apps accounts synced with my phone. However, 1 particular Google Apps account Contacts does not sync (but Gmail and Calendar syncs with this trouble account).
Other Google Apps and Google Accounts have not trouble syncing contacts.
I've tried deleting the account and adding back the account.
I've tried turning off auto sync and deleting the contacts files in Applications, and then turning it back on with no luck.
It still tells me that it has trouble syncing.
Thoughts?
I have tried logging out of the Facebook app and logging back in then adding the account again to try and force the app to sync.
I have also gone to my Accounts settings and made sure that the Facebook app is set to sync automatically and I have also tried to manually sync by going to More > Sync Now and that also does not work.
Is anybody else having these issues? Anybody have a fix in mind?
My hotmail and corporate accounts are not getting emails delivered to my 5X after a certain time today. Internet works on the phone, apps can get internet and I can go to websites in Chrome.
Tried rebooting and switched airplane mode on and off a few times.
Anyone else having these issues?
Edit: I went into accounts and hit sync all and it started working for some of the accounts. I should not have to manually sync the accounts, they have all all been getting push emails as they come in up until today.

Have you tried "outlook app" from google play store? Maybe it will help. I have this app installed, but for my Hotmail account, I didn't need "push" notification, so I set it to manual.
Hi,
I had problems with the GMAIL App not syncing my Hotmail account & also uploads to GDrive were not working about a week ago. I uninstalled recent updates and rebooted phone. All has worked fine since then. I have also allowed both apps to update and all is good.
If you're still having problems, give it a try
I've had issues with this. So have many others. Check out this issue here
