wow.....
on WM6.5?

yes perfectly, on both 6.5 and 6.5.x
it's how I often sync my contacts if I can't get to my PC after I've pushed my hd2 too much and forced a hard reset.

Works perfect for me too, on 6.5 and 6.5.3 , nothing changed since 6.1 anyway oO
Cannot understand where your problem is, i took informations from the google sync page (the one you mentioned in your own post) and all worked fine.
Dumb question but... your pc is connected to the internet when you sync it?
Or are you trying without a pc?
I'd like to help but rly man, i do not understand...

maybe this is the issue you have?
or it could be how you're doing it, or even something in how the person who cooked the rom you're using did.

[Q] Active Sync Problems TP2

I am using Active Sync to push my gmail account to my TP2. Everything works fine on my older ROM and then I upgrade ROM to SEA 2.07.707.1
Later, I cannot connect to gmail server again, it keep asking for user and password eventhough I have check "save password". so i cannot sync to gmail.
Can anyone help me please....?
Is it a bug ROM or anything else?

Has it ever connected to Google Sync on the new ROM?
If no, I've noticed that the User Name format given in the Google Sync instructions doesnt' seem to work: [email protected]
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
But this format works: [email protected]
If you haven't already tried, try this format.
Also, sometimes ActiveSync will just stop being able to sync. But this error doesn't ask me to re-input my Google login, it just fails to sync. When this happens, I just uncheck all the boxes in ActiveSync (mail, contacts, calendar) and click Finish. Let ActiveSync do its thing (it will delete all your contacts, mail appointment, which is a bit scary). Then go back into the ActiveSync settings, recheck the boxes and soft reset.
This sounds like a different problem. But if you're stuck without a solution, maybe its worth a try. But you may lose all your contacts and other info from your phone, so its your choice . . .

@redpoint73 Thanks for reply...
I have try your suggestion... still not working... it keeps asking for user and password.
First try....
User : [email protected]
Domain :
also...
User : user
Domain : gmail.com
I try to check and uncheck sync option... nothing's change...

Gmail App stuck on "Waiting for sync"

Hi,
I have a rooted HTC desire with MIUI GB Rom. Everything worked fine till yesterday the gmail app suddenly stopped syncing and has been since then stuck on the "waiting to sync" page - "Your email will appear shortly". When i manually sync it, the app force closes. Even if i go into "accounts and sync" and uncheck and re-check auto-sync, the app force closes.
Googling this issue showed that tons of other folks have had this issue but I haven't found a solution. I've literally tried everything (i think):
Manual sync, uncheck and recheck auto sync, phone reboot, removing battery, uninstalling updates, uninstalling the app itself via Titanium backup and reinstalling via market, clearing cache and data of gmail app, clearing cache+dalvik from recovery, full wipe and reinstall of rom, factory reset and trying different rom, upgrading to Nikez lente ICS rom...
...but nothing has worked
Please help. What's the point of an android phone if the gmail app doesnt work
Karan

Turns out that only my account doesn't sync, If i use another email address, it sync normally. Suggestions?
Karan

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue since yesterday (Inspire 4G rooted stock GizRootv_1), though I tested the issue with CM7.1 and the problem is the same.
My gmail email address is stuck at " Waiting for Sync", at times the Gmail App FC. If I add another gmail account, stop syncing my account and I sync Gmail with the new account it works without issues.
I had tried several Factory resets adding the account with problem first, last, nothing the issue appears and is related to my account.
It looks like a Gmail problem rather than a phone/ROM problem.
Any help for troubleshooting?
Thanks

I agree it's a gmail problem but troubleshooting did not yield any results, hence the call for help

Sorry, I missed to post what I wonder if you can check in your account.
Please check if in "Google Dashboard" -> "Account" -> "Websites authorized to access the account" do you have an entry for "Android Login Service — Full Account Access".
Having the same problem you described I tried a different account in the phone and it worked, so far this is the only difference I can find is the not working account does not have the entry described above.
Thanks

It does have this piece of access:
"You have granted the following services access to your Google Account:
Android Login Service — Full Account Access"

Another dead end, I thought that having it missing was the reason I was having problems.
Please let me know if you find something, I am checking with google's gmail forum but no answer from anyone yet, I will post if I find something.
FYI, I tried from scratch three different ROMs (Stock rooted, CM7.2 & MIUI) and installed Gmail as the first app and the problem was the same in all ROMs, it does not connects using my account but it does with two other different accounts I tried, my phone is an Inspire 4G.
Thanks

Ok, today the app suddenly started working normally!! :victory:
These are the things I tried, maybe it'll help:
1) Leave gmail unsynced for a few days
2) Go into IMAP settings on pc gmail and sync nothing but the inbox
3) Take all the inbox mails and put it a new unsynced folder, so the only thing ure syncing is an empty inbox
4) Update Gmail to 2.3.6
All the best!:good:

Success!!
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications

I encountered this problem after changing the email account associated with an Android phone. Avoiding the Factory Reset, I cleared the data in Manage Applications with the Gmail apps. Contacts and Calendar synched OK, but the dreaded "Waiting for Sync" message persisted when launching gmail.
Clearing the data for *all* Google apps solved the problem: gmail, gmail storage, google apps, and google backup transport. Then I launched gmail and went through the gmail account setup process. One or more of these two things was the key: configuring the new account through gmail or clearing data from all the google apps.

Make sure Auto-sync is enabled
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
Select Settings.
Select Accounts & sync.
Make sure the checkbox for Auto-sync is checked.

This worked for me! No need to delete data or anything. My settings were different, as shown below:
Settings > accounts section > Gmail
Found the account (it says sync is disabled)
Clicked on the account
Sync Gmail / tap to sync now / sync disabled < I did this. It took a few minutes, and completed the sync. Yay!

The same thing happen to me, but I deleted the app and the re installed it, hope this help.

Last year when this thread was opened the actual problem was related to this Gmail Forum thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/jb9zyCni3pc[1-25-false]
Do a search for "AGforum0822" at Google's Gmail forum and you will find more detail.
Maybe the problem came back.

Problem solved.
I had the same problem. I removed my google account. Which resulted in deletion of messages and contacts and calendar entries. Then I added back my google account keeping the sync on. Problem solved. Now my gmail syncs nice.

open gmail app

Google account sign in with browser not working

hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus and just fresh installed the latest nightly from CM and the latest gapps Nano, when I want to add my google account though it says it needs a browser sign-in so I sign-in from the browser (2 step verification) and after the successful sign-in my account shows up in the browser but the sign-in process doesn't continue, I can browse my account and stuff but I'm stuck there, do I need to press something ? the only option I have from the sign-in screen is "Exit browser sign-in" and if I do that the account does not appear in the list.
Thank you in advance for any assistance

I had something similar happen when loading up a 4.3 ROM. Never had an answer to it. One thing you can do is use your PC and disable 2 factor authentication and then sign in as normal on your device. Once signed in, go back and activate 2FA.

hello,
yes that is what I eventually ended up doing and it worked ok, seems google 2 step authentication doesn't work very well on older distributions of Android
thank you

[how to] Fix the google contacts sync issue on CN ROM

This guide is to meant to attempt to save valuable time and frustration from anyone who needs google's contact sync.
Please keep all discussions polite.
So I need google apps on a daily basis and i tried to set up google on the chinese ROM .
And of course there is no Google contacts app so you need to put it in yourself.
I have looked at several guides and threads from XDA and MIUI Forum but they didn't seem to touch the critical steps for getting the contacts to sync with google.
After 2 days of trying...literally.., i figured out how to set the contact sync up reliably, not "reboot it and it will work after the reboot" sorta result.
If the following steps don't work for you, please let me know...I have tried this on 2 MIX 3's and they all worked after first attempt.
1, Enable google play services in Settings app -> system apps -> google play services
2, Download the Google play store from Apk Mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...8-23-all-0-pr-224256688-android-apk-download/
and the google contacts sync adapter:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
And install them.
3, Open google play store, log in, and install Google contacts from the play store.
4, Give permissions to google contacts and contact sync adapter
*** Above steps are common to the threads i have read, and below are the key points ***
5, Enable on developer options by goto Settings->my phone(or something like that) -> full specs and tap MIUI version 7 times.
6, Go to settings -> additional settings -> developer options , scroll to the very bottom (last item) and disable "MIUI optimizations". Will explain why in later steps.
7, Download an "app permission setting" app such as (but not limited to) this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fdd2hdd.AppPermissionInfo
8, Open the permission settings app and find Google contacts and Google contact sync adapter apps and grant all their required permission.
Once you are here you should notice that, the permission GUI opened from this permission app is different. The GUI here is more AOSP style, or vanilla android style, and this is what we need. The permission GUI from MIUI layer doesn't allow you to set this up.
******* End of the key steps************
9, Now if you go to settings->accounts->Google, you should see "contacts" in the sync options and it should work. If not, well, reboot lol, i think it should appear.
If this works for you, a "Thanks" button press is very much appreciated.

Could just install Google installer v3 APK, let it install and go to contacts permission in settings and tick them all, job done

Chinese ROM doesn't have it installed so no need to uninstall it. Just run Google installer v3, set contacts permission and it works fine.

If I remember it does. That however may be the dev rom as I only set up the stock room once while I set up the dev rom multiple times. Dev rom install of contacts sync will fail.

Install Google installer v3 APK, let it install and go to contacts permission in settings and tick them all, job done - this has helped. Thank you!

not sure what the problem is, followed this guide to a T and still can't get contacts to show up in my google account to sync it. everything else like Gmail works no problem. i have every permission checked. i've uninstalled and reinstalled. i have the AOSP like sliders to turn things on after going to developer settings.
for some reason instead of contacts i get a people details sync but nothing for contacts will show up. so frustrating.
ok i wiped data and started from scratch and unfortunately same results. ****ing hell this never happened with original mi mix. i guess i'm stuck waiting for the 72 hours to be able to unlock unless anyone has other ideas.
EDIT - ------ FINALLY I got this working. the key is you have to downgrade the calendar sync app to 8.1 - it would not work with 9.0 for me for some reason. once i did this and followed the rest of your instructions it finally worked for me

Worked excellent in Mi 11 Pro! at 2022, I only wonder about what I'm losing by disbling the optimizations, but at the beginning it seems not a big deal... thanks!
