Gmail app not syncing automatically - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have done my research before posting this thread, and I've seen many other similar posts but none of them helped.
The Gmail app is not syncing automatically so it is not receiving new emails unless I enter the app and swipe down to refresh, or if I turn off and on "Auto-sync data". Things I tried:
I checked that "Auto-sync data" is turned on in my settings and that Gmail sync is checked in my Google account sync settings.
I cleared all the google apps cache (google play services, framework, email, gmail).
I disabled the stock Gmail app then enabled it and updated it.
I force uninstalled Gmail (since my phone is rooted) and reinstalled again from the Play Store.
I rebooted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache.
I removed my Google account and re added it.
I included the Gmail app in "Ignore battery optimizations" in the battery settings, the google play services are included by default and my phone is not in power saving mode.
I checked Gmail app settings, my email address settings, "Notifications" is checked, "Data usage" ->"Sync Gmail" is ticked, "Manage labels" -> Primary sync is on on the last 30 days, "Inbox sound & vibrate" -> "Notify for every message" is unchecked by default but I checked it.
Using LG G3 on Marshmallow 6.0 stock rooted.

I just re did what I mentioned in my initial post but all at the same time, I turned of Auto-sync, removed my Google account, cleared Gmail, Google Play services, Play store, Google services framework and Email cache, rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, added back my google account, turned on auto sync and it worked. So nothing new, I tried them all before but not successively, but I am sure it's not my phone's problem and it's a bug in Google's apps or Gmail since a lot of other users have faced the same problem which is unfortunate.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU! I have been on and off trying to figure out this issue for 2 months until I could not take it anymore. I tried all of the guides from google, articles on android websites, forum posts etc. but nothing was working. I even tried installing the inbox app and still, that was not working. I was about to give up hope and just factory reset my phone until I tried your instructions and it worked! And oddly enough, my battery life has drastically improved. Thank you so much for following up on your original post

Calendar not syncing

So, I am running JIBwich's ICS ROM, but do not think this is ROM related. My calendar stopped syncing, so I deleted the data under Calendar and Calendar Storage. When I first went back in to the Calendar, it asked if I would like to add an account. I told it Existing of course, but when enter the Google account info that is already on the phone elsewhere (GMail, G+, Docs etc), it tells me it is already there. So I go back and hit Not Now, and I have a blank calendar. If I go into the calendar settings, I have no calendars to select to sync with. How can I correct this?
Edit: When I go to Accounts & Sync, and select my Google account, shouldn't Calendar be one of the options with a check box? I do not see it in there...
Anyone...?
More info on this: If I goto www.google.com/calendar on my phone, it also shows no entries, but if I goto the calendar from a PC it shows everything... what has happened???
Can anyone even confirm that is running ICS if Calendar is suppose to be under your account in Accounts & Sync in the settings? This is driving me mad!
...is this thing on...? Bump!
Well, not sure why it worked this time, but did the super wipe, reflashed JIBwich and latest gapps(2012-02-24) and now Calendar is back under Accounts & Sync and all is good.
I have the same problem with my Desire running ICS but I don't want to wipe everything to fix it.
Well, I am not sure of any other solution. As mentioned, after a wipe, the Calendar does show up under the Google accounts in Accounts & Sync. This started after clearing data from Calendar and Calendar Storage. When I did the first wipe, I let it do the auto restore of account info, but whatever problem I had with the Calendar must have been restored. So I did the second wipe and told it not to restore, and all was well.

Keep getting com.google.process.gapps has stopped while syncing contacts

I have tried syncing my contacts today because I noticed the newest one hasn't shown up on my google account yet, but for some darn reason the phone freezes for a bit and shows "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
In sync settings I only have Sync Contacts checked, nothing else. If I sync other things I don't have any issues.
When in sync settings and I check and uncheck the box it will sync in 2 seconds, when I sync it again it will do so for 30 seconds, the error will pop up and close itself then stop syncing. In accounts and sync it will freeze for a while and show the popup which I have to close myself.
My phone is rooted running 4.0.3. I also have ~5000 contacts (that includes g+,facebook,numbers,emails)
What can I do to fix this? It's getting on my nerves.
Clear the data for your google contact within settings. See if it helps.

I've cleared data for Google Service Framework, Google Contacts Sync and cleared dalvik cache.
Which one is the Google contacts app? Contacts Storage? Won't clearing it erase all my contacts??
Back up the data first. I had a similar problem before when my contact storage reached over 1 GB, which is bogus, caused by program bug. Clear the storage solved my problem.
Contacts can be back by you're google account, if you have one

That seems to have worked. Thanks!

[Q] Stock email stopped working

This morning, I noticed my phone had not received emails since yesterday on the stock email app. Use this for my work email, just 1 account with the app.
It says it is synced. I can send emails without a problem. The settings are correct. It just won't refresh my inbox. I tried deleting my account, wiped the app's data and cache, powered down and pulled battery. Set it all back up, still not working. Tried wiping phone's cache, still not working. Haven't done any updates to apps or installed anything new etc.
Outlook on my pc uses the exact same settings, works fine. Tried downloading an email app from Google Play, works fine.
Wtf over?

No Gmail Push Notification After Upgrading to Lollipop

I made sure that auto sync is checked, deleted gmail account, wiped gmail app data cache, system cache partition, google framework cache, did battery pull.....
Just could not make gmail to receive notification.
The only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset, which I really don't want to do unless I can be sure that it is my phone, not gmail app or google's service, that is causing the problem.
I don't see other AT&T Note 4 users complaining about it in xda. Is it just me? I did see some related comments in play store.
Did you need to move the date to update?

[Q] Google accounts broken, no error messages

hi all,
I have a very strange problem with my S4, and I'm out of ideas after hours of google, xda and troubleshooting. First of all, I'm travelling, therefore a factory reset is not an option at the moment.
I'm on the latest nightly of CM12.1 with gapps installed.
Everything was working fine until yesterday. Here's what happened:
I always used the CM12.1 stock email app. So my girlfriend wanted to check her gmail, therefore (to keep my mail app clean) I installed the official gmail app. After installation I signed in with her gmail address and password. After that the gmail app crashed. I then noticed that my contact list on the phone all of a sudden included her google contacts as well (she had an android device with a google account some time ago, so her former contacts are still synced with her account).
I removed the gmail app again, and now it seems my google account on the phone is broken. I can't use any google services anymore:
- PlayStore just opens a white screen for half a second, then closes without error
- Maps, Fit, Youtube, etc. all say I have to install google playstore to function, but playstore is installed already
- When I go to Settings>Accounts there is no google account and no option to add a google account
What I tried:
- I cleared app data/cache for googleservicesframework and playstore
- I did dalvic/cache wipe
- I re-installed the gmail app which caused all the trouble, but can't sign in with google account anymore in the app (neither with mine nor hers)
- I updated to a newer nightly
- I flashed gapps again
- I used a gapps removal script from xda
I'm completely lost. nothing seems to work.
Thank you in advance for your help
Sorry, guess I should post this to the general android help Forum. Please close.
