Friends,
I am on deodexed S251. But on which ever stock versions, I am having the contact syncing issue with google. Surprisingly, If I installed any Lineage or AOSP ROMS, the contacts syncs in seconds. But on stock, mostly it wont download fully and even if downloaded also may take almost 30 minutes.
Any solution bros?

I have had my HTC Desire (stock 2.1-update1 ROM) for a couple of months now and I'm enjoying all it's features. Especially the integrated Picasa tool. Take a photo, select share, then select Picasa and off you go. Great. Until recently.
Cannot find anyone else with this problem, so hoping someone has some ideas.
When I select the Picasa option for sharing, it brings up the usual Picasa upload options page that I am used to only very briefly (talking 0.5 seconds here) then quickly jumps to a screen asking me to create a google account!!! This is despite my phone sync'd perfectly with my Google account. E-mails pushing though, videos upload to youtube just fine. No sync errors at all.
OK I thought, I'll just sign back in with my existing Google account. Except when I do this, it spends a couple of minutes "signing in" only to then fail telling me that I do not have a network connection! This is despite trying my phone connected to wi-fi both at home, in my office, and whilst using 3G in strong signal area.
I think this all started after I accepted an OTA update taking my software number to 1.21.405.2. but I can't be certain as it was a week or so after updating before I noticed the problem.
I have Picasa Tool app installed, but personally I think its an ugly, badly laid out mess even though it does seem to work. I would rather fix what has happened to stop my phone uploading to Picasa directly.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, can't help you with this but very interested as I have exactly the same issue. Also, as a google engined phone, why on earth have they made flikr & fb instantly available but not picasa You're right about the picasa tool pro too, functional but aesthetically it leaves a lot to be desired...see what I did there...
I have never used Picasa. But like 2 hours ago, I said why not and wanted to use it. To be greeted with the same problem. The account is active (gmail syncs without problem), everything goes ok... but it doesn't work.
Factory reset fixed it. OK, but not sure what I did to break it in the first place! Oh well.
It didn't work for me either. Yesterday I went from MCR r18 to stock Sense > r17 > r19 > r17 > r18. Suddenly, it got fixed.
You should make sure you actually have a picasa web account, and that you've uploaded at least one photo to it.
Hi all.
Having rooted with unrevoked and made a nandroid backup of my rom, I installed OpenDesire Team's Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM and radio on my phone. It worked well and it's the mod I am going to use. Problem is I don't have the time to set it all up now and reinstall everything and put all my settings as I'd like them since I am going to be on a business trip for the next 2 to 3 weeks. So I did a nandroid restore. All well and OK. Except I could no longer see any of my videos. Always an error telling me Sorry, you cannot play this video or whatnot. I rebooted and immediately after reboot I tried to play the same files. The first one started, then froze, and then all video files gave me the same error. Even files I had recorded with the phone. This went on for a few hours till I remembered the damn radio file. Thinking "it can't be that" I dloaded a previous version from the development section and flashed. Believe it or not, I can now play videos. Crises averted... except it's not.
Today I noticed that my Gmail app isn't syncing anymore. I receive mails in real time (pushed to the device) and can open and read them fine. I can even delete them from the inbox (or so it seems), but when I tried to reply to an email I noticed my mail just sat there saying "sending" in those red / pink letters. I tried to compose a new mail and sending that only to find all my composed mails since I had restored were still sitting in my outbox label / folder. And when I accessed Gmail from my PC's web browser, I found that all the mails I had opened in the Gmail app on the phone were still unopened on the servers. And the deleted ones were still there too, untouched. So it seems my Gmail stopped syncing. And I have already checked the settings. All else is working including calendar and contacts.
I have performed over a dozen restores now and tried all radio files in the forum. Nothing worked.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Please!!!!! Very urgent I fix it before leaving tomorrow evening.
Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help.
95% of FroYo / HTC Sense ROMs I've tested always initially give me a problem adding an extra GMail account to the handset.
The symptoms are either that Mail refused to auto-sync, or that I can't enable GMail at all (no option on the sync screen).
Sometimes I get round it with a combination of clearing GMail, Contacts & Calendar storage and removing / re-adding the account. I've not come up with a definitive method of doing this though.
I'm currently on a AOSP ROM, looking to go back to a Sense based one. I tried 2 ROMs last night and couldn't get the mail to work so I've NANDROID restored in the hope that I can find a solution before flashing again.
Does anyone have a definitive method of making my phone work with 2 GMail accounts that auto sync?
Cheers,
B
That's because it's a known issue in Gmail appart from the new 2.2.1 version...without updating to that it'll never sync the extra accounts. It's well documented and the new 2.10.405.2 OTA update fixes this.
Cheers Eddy.
Are any ROMs out based on the new OTA update? Or is this update not out yet?
I have managed to get it working every now and again, I'm just never 100% on the steps I took to make it happen!
Update is out now, I'm on it but I don't use more than one Gmail account on my Desire...there are ROMs in the Dev forum that are based on it so assume they have it working so go look there
Would make sense as to why MoDaCo r8 didn't work yesterday. It's based on 2.09.x. Cheers for your help.
It is BUT it's got the option for the new GMail app in the kitchen (I think)...I'll try tonight with another of my GMail account and see what happens
I had a look. R9 has the new GMail. I'm going to grab that tonight.
An update - MoDaCo R9 STILL had the problem. I tried NeoPhyTe's AuraxTSense and happy days - I have Gmail sync again.
Mustard.
I missed Sense a lot when using OpenDesire. It's a real dealbreaker!
I've tried a few different ROM's the past few days... went from Liquid to 2-3 other then back to Liquid and now on AKOP M5...
Ever since leaving Liquid the first time I've noticed that my Picasa Web upload/sync is no longer working automatically.
I can manually push/share pictures to my Picasa folders, but where it used to be automatically almost instant after taking a picture now it doesn't do anything at all.
Anyone else having this issue?
Strangely enough I have the exact same issue on my dad's SGS II, but with an added twist where it doesn't seem to be able to access any of the Albums at all (no manual upload even) and says cannot get account info or something.
Yes picasa sync is with some issues lately, and it is staying at the top of apps that spend my battery cause it keeps syncing for hours....
ive made another thread but got no answers about this...
supposedly it's the facebook sync hack that's the culprit. Check out the release notes for the latest aokp which references it.
get an AOSP rom without the FB hack and picasa sync will work again.
I don't know what's going on. When I setup the accounts (2), they are synchronized in the first moment but, after that, no more.
This happens just when 3G is in use. In the first moment that I connect the Note to a wi-fi network, the accounts are updated instantly. If I stop/disable Gmail and enable it again, it syncs again, but just once.
I tried everything to solve this, installed a unbranded rom, version 4.1.1 and, now, version 4.1.2, remove the accounts, remove the authorization of access, using PC, and nothing worked.
Any help? My Nexus 10 tablet and my old S II are working without any issue.
Thank you.
I think I solved the problem, creating a nem APN. The default was defined as java.claro.com.br and I created a new one, just claro.com.br.
It's working now.

Similar problem with two accounts two times. The first time happens almost instantly. Synced went ok and after an hour no syncing. I remove the accounts and all were ok for 2-3 days and then again. Remove again and now for 2 weeks its ok. 4.1.1 stock.
