Today my HTC 10 rebooted itself, and once it was done I got a notification about my gmail accounts needing "action required". When I tried to solve them by entering my password, it would just stay on the loading circle. After trying to clear cache, data, and all that stuff nothing was working. So I went and removed the accounts. Then I started with adding my main gmail account. That worked fine, but then I tried to add another. It would go through the steps normally, but after it was done nothing happened. The account wasn't added. It doesn't loop or give me any other error, it just asks like nothing ever happened. I tried multiple times. I removed the main account too just to see what would happen, and it won't add that either. So I can't get into gmail, play, etc. On top of that, Yahoo won't work either. I try to sign into that and I just get a "something went wrong" message. Somehow Outlook works fine, and that seems to be a miracle, but it doesn't show up under Accounts & Sync. I'm not sure if that's the main issue? I have tried multiple Google searches and nothing helps. Not the "clear cache, data, ect" on anything Google related. Maybe I'm missing something else.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem without a hard reset?

Recently, whenever I try to search in the gmail app, it gets stuck on loading conversations and never finishes. After a few days of this I went to trash, all mail, and starred, and the same thing happens. The mail never loads, and its stuck on loading conversations. My inbox is loading fine, and gmail in the browser works fine. I tried clearing data and cache, and rebooting. Anyone else?
Edit:Turned out, it was the LauncherPro gmail widget causing the problem. Deleted widget from homescreen, and issue disappeared.
Try to download an app for mail and put your gmail account on that (like k9 mail, it's amazing) if it doesnt work on that I would try a hard reset. If it does then it is something within the stock gmail app I would think.
Or better yet, just uninstall GMAIL and re-install it from the market....
Tried both suggestions. K9 worked fine with search and checking different labels. So I then used root explorer to remove the default Gmail app and reinstalled from the market, which DID fix the problem. Thanks!!!!!
EDIT: SEE POST BELOW. DIDN'T FIX!
Well, I guess I spoke too soon. Its doing it again. It did work the first few times when I checked starred email and all mail. Even searching mail worked a couple tries. But then I tried a few minutes later and it didn't work anymore. Now when I check all mail and starred mail, same thing, just says loading conversations. I tried reinstalling amd clearing data and cache and still doesn't help. Weird.
EDIT:SOLVED See OP
OK so I'm having some odd problems after I flashed the Gingersense ROM. Right after I flashed the ROM the add email account screen was missing all of the standard options I had seen before. So, I restored the data to the mail app using Titanium Backup. That worked for a little while. Then I needed to change my email password.
When I tried to go in and change my Yahoo password, it said it failed to communicate with the server. When I tried to delete the account I keep getting the same error. 504 0:null
Anyone have any idea what that means? Can I somehow reinstall the mail app? will that help or should I try reflashing the ROM?
And before anyone pokes fun at a person still using Yahoo, I've had that account for a lot longer than gmail has even existed.
Edit: Just did a nondroid backup to the original froyo, still broken!
As an additional piece of info, I keep getting emails from [email protected] saying that my account "could not be authenticated" though those are the only emails coming in to that account
In case anyone runs into the same problem, I thought I would post how I finally got it at least halfway back to normal.
I ended up having to run the factory reset, which wiped out all of the accounts that synced to my phone.
After running the setup and tying my google account back to my phone, the gmail account never showed up in my email.
It still won't let me setup an email using the quick account type shortcuts, only with the POP/IMAP shortcut. I was able to get both my yahoo and my gmail back up and working, though I am missing the nice little icons for the accounts I had seen previously.

Oh and in the process I also somehow lost the desktop dock app.
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
Hi, I just recently purchased the HTC One from Verizon and everything seems to be working fine, except the Facebook blinkfeed. When I go to use my Facebook account my contacts and live feed sync okay but my calendar doesn't. It says that sync is currently available and to try again, and I also get authorization problem at the top of the screen. Well if I drop down the menu and click on the authorization problem, it tries to bring up facebook for a second and then close out. I then had a friend try his Facebook account and everything works fine, no issues with Facebook syncing and his posts from Facebook shows up on the main blinkfeed. So what am I overlooking here? I went into the local verizon to see if it was just my phone that might be bad, but I tried syncing up my facebook at the store and it also had the same issues.
I've tried removing my account, changing passwords, changing my email address I use to log in, I even done a factory reset with data wipe nothing works. Hopefully someone here might have experienced the same issue and knows where to try to fix it.
Thanks..
This is my 2nd XZ2 Compact and I'm generally very satisfied with this device. However I've encountered an issue with the preinstalled Mail app. Last week it stopped syncing and I was unable to find out why, as it worked fine on my Z4 Tablet. It just kept saying that it couldn't connect to the server. After several attempts to enter the incoming mailserver name, password etc to make sure that this was not causing the problem, I decided to just remove the account and then re-enter the account details.
Now here's the problem as it keeps telling me that the account that I'm trying to enter is already there?? And if I do long-press on the icon it shows the account but when i select it, it shows the guide to enter a new account??
What to do? I've cleared cache but I'm not able to delete user data (greyed out).
I'd like to avoid resetting the phone, but if that's my last chance, then...
