By recommendation of another member, I cleared data from 'contacts Storage' and 'People' and now its working perfectly!
I just flashed the newest Sprint Lovers ROM, and my contacts wont sync. I get the "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" message. This has been for the last 5 hours. Maybe sync really is down? My email syncs fine, all my data works (market updates, internet) and have tried on WiFi also. I have also updated my profile succesfully.
Is it down for anyone else or any ideas?
edit: I have also tried unchecking the sync box in the accounts and sync menu, rebooting, and re-checking the box. No worky.
edit2: Well now it synced with no error, however, it shows last sync time as 1230pm today (6 1/2 hours ago when I flashed) and contacts didnt load. This is very bizzare.
Well I ended up just creating a vcard from my gmail account and importing. Although my sync this morning doesnt show the same error, it still shows last sync was yesterday.
I dunno.
edit: I just created a test contact and synced to see if it would add it to my gmail contacts when I log in online...now it gives me the error, and it didnt sync. Im perplexed.

I just noticed a few days ago that GMail isn't syncing with my phone anymore. I send myself an email just to check and it never showed any notification untill I manually entered the application and updated. Of course, I'd ran this test before and it worked flawlessly. I really need this to work because I use my email a lot for work purposes.
I'm currently on CM-5.0.3.1, ERE36B. I don't really know what may have happened. Configuration to receive notifications apparently is ok. As far as I know the only thing that may have changed is the number of apps. Can there be some kind of interference between some app and GMail sync? Come on it's the Google Phone, if GMail can't work we've got a problem...
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Go into: Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Filter - ALL, find GMAIL and GMAIL Storage, clear data for both.
Solved! Thanks!
Hi !
Used to get these issues too on my HTC Magic (G2). Nothing wrong with my N1, but this morning, no sync (last sync seven hours ago...).
Turned everything down then restarted and it worked again.
Do you often get that? Is it a google-related issue ?
Hello there,
I am currently trying to backup the data on my HD2 using the Microsoft My Phone system but every time I try, it just gets stuck on Authenticating user and goes no further. Any help??
Thanks
I have been experiencing this problem when restoring the data the last few days and even tried different ROM's .
I finally got through when i unchecked everything in Sync option and left only Contacts check marked. It successfully sync'ed and then i check marked few others(Fav &txt) in sync option and sync'ed again.
What i can conclude is that, if there's lots of stuff to sync, it chokes up and gets stuck. Try sync'ing each option individually...see if that helps!
How do you connect? Use wlan and it should be kinda fast.
What did you check in the sync options?
Default is that every data on your mobile gets synced like videos, photos, ...
I only checked calendar and contacts and the whole sync lasts 10-20 seconds.
Hmmm working for me as of 5 minutes ago, but hadn't been last few hours.
Either they fixed something on MS's end, or having an incorrect date can screw with syncing (I'd jsut reflashed and forgot ot set my date correctly - it was set to Jan 21st). After setting the date correctly it now syncs as normal.

Yeah, I tried syncing just the contacts but the same thing happened!! This is the first time I have used Microsoft My Phone so maybe it's that?? I also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the application but to no avail!
Hi,
I had the same problem after myphone updated itself to the newest version. My solution that worked was manually downloading the touchscreen version at http://mobile.microsoft.com/myphone.
Then I only synced my text messages.
Afterwards the entire phone.
good luck
Ever since I've rooted and have flashed new custom Roms onto my Hero. A couple things have happened. The phone works fine, runs great expect for "My facebook" account not syncing with my phone. It did when i had the stock rom on it. I've tried different roms, but I'll I get is these two errors when I try and sync my contacts. My picture shows up at the top of my phone book, but no one elses gets linked.
Then I read in some forums to try other facebook accounts. So I tried my friends and her sync right up and started to download contacts pictures.....what is the deal?
How can the phone possible know the difference between facebook accounts.
any help?
The only problem I ever had was with facebook not syncing up correctly and it only happened once. I just went into the phone settings and deleted the account and readded it.
You might want to also try going into facebook from a webpage and clicking on Account -> Application Settings
Select Authorized from the drop down and then delete anything that says Facebook for Android or HTC Sense.
You may have multiple listings or the permissions might have gotten messed up. Deleting them will force the permissions to be re-established.

can you clarify in more detail on these steps? i went to facebook on the web and couldn't find those settings. i wish to complete this with successful results! mind being a bit more detailed? thx in advance
On the right hand side on facebook you will see ACCOUNT
Click on Account and select APPLICATION SETTINGS
Then on the application settings page there will be a drop down box with the title Show: select AUTHORIZED
Then you will have a page with your authorized applications. They are organized by category so you might have to click on the category to expand that section.
In the APPLICATIONS ON FACEBOOK category there will be FACEBOOK FOR ANDROID.
You might have several listings for Facebook for Android. On the far right of the row it is on there is an X.
Click on the x and click REMOVE on the popup.
Do this for every listing of Facebook For Android
Next go to the category DESKTOP APPLICATION.
You will see an entry or entries for HTC SENSE
On the far right of the row HTC Sense is on will be an X
Click on the X and select REMOVE on the popup.
Do this for every listing of HTC Sense
Then go into your phone and re-setup the accounts.
I had this error. My problem was that I had too many friends and caused it to crash while loading. I had 3,000+. I think it started to act up around 2,000
Also, if you have trouble with anything listed so far try this.
Run Logcat and sync manually in Accounts and Sync.
Watch logcat for com.htc.bg died.
If you are using a rom with the internal task killing mod (autokiller and dconfig also) set the task killer back to stock and then sync.
I've noticed this in the past that the taskkiller when set above normal will kill com.htc.bg while you're syncing. AFAIK, there is no way to change the process' "importance" or make the taskkiller ignore this prosses, but this is a verified work-around.

i think this was my problem as well. on other forums others were saying they had 300 friends only and their contacts synced up nicely. me on the other hand have 2000+ friends and about five min in that's when that damn com.htc.bg comes up and i have to force close it.
well I went into my facebook account settings, found what you where talking about. There was multiplies of the htc sense and other. So i removed my account from my phone, deleted the applications on my facebook. Logged out of facebook, removed it from my phone. Re tried....no luck.
So I went back to my facebook account. Deleted the htc sense. wiped my phone, flashed a fresh rom. skipped the set up. Synced my contacts. and then tried to sync with htc sense. No luck. plugged in my friends facebook account, synced right up within seconds....
whats the deal?

I don't use peep. com.htc.bg and bgp failures happen whenever I try and sync. Doesn't work either if I kill them before I try and sync.
I've come to the conclusion it has to be something to deal with my facebook account. The only thing "facebook sync sense" syncs with is my (name, birthday and profile pic) nothing else. But if remove my account and replace it with my friends it sync perfectly fine. Any ideas?
oh yeah it synced perfectly fine with my account back when I had the phone stock with android 1.5
found the problem. If your facebook account has a symbol in it, like mine is Irish and has a " ' " take it out save facebook. Then uninstall from phone, re sync to phone. Works. how stupid.
VERY ANNOYING
I Have to FORCE close on on those 2 constantly. there has to be a reason for it
SOMEONE SOLVE THIS...
my fb has no symbols, i can open then close fb without them starting. its totally random when they come on
It's very strange, from what I gather is that the errors appear when facebook sync is unable to sync because of it not being correctly connected with your account.
Since I've deleted the ' in my last name on my facebook account and re-added facebook sense to my phone, it synced up and downloaded all 370 contacts to my phone within a couple minutes. I've also had zero errors, etc...

we were having the same problems to the T!! now your facebook works simply because you deleted a ' from your account name?!?!
i don't have no symbols and i followed all the other steps as well about removing the facebook htc sense from facebook and all the above. haven't tried the peep since i do use it but how do you kill the btp and bg???

any fix to this?
The problem I'm having is the com.htc.bg process stays open when sycning calendar. This causes obex service to constantly run and keeps the phone from sleeping. I have yet to find a fix for this besides killing the obex process manually.
So what happens here is my Gmail is not syncing correctly. For instance right now in the top left corner it shows "5 Inbox" When everything is grey and read. It's not deleting the email from my gmail account either. When I delete the emails manually from my computer, The counter in the top left then returns to "0 Inbox" So maybe its just not deleting the email? I also used to recieve the email almost instantly. Now I will recieve emails hours late... I cant figure it out. I am running on Fresh 3.4 right now.. And I had the same problem on cyanogen 6.1 ... Any help would be great.. Thanks
Open gmail. Menu > more > settings > select which labels to sync.
Change number of days to sync up or down by one.
Have inbox set to sync all.
Go to inbox and hit refresh. It should sync now. After that set number of days to sync to 3.
I used to have this problem and since i have done this i have not had sync issues in the past three months.
Good luck.

As soon as I hit sync it brought all the mail from my inbox to the phone. I was then able to delete it... However it still didnt sync on the server... They are still inbox ...
I'm experiencing the same problem. Deleting Gmail cache from Settings >Applications helps for a day or two then it goes back to not syncing.
I do notice that everytime i do that its lasts a little longer each time. But this is a really frustrating little issue.
I'm on the latest Fresh rom. Latest Gmail version.
I actually just read the comments on Gmail app through the market. It seems a lot of people are having this issue... I hope it gets fixed soon. Its extremely annoying.
Well i tried and stated what worked for me. Hope you find your fix.

I'm having a ton of issues as well... mainly, whatever I try and send goes straight to outbox and gets tagged as "sending..." It never actually sends. HTC mail is working fine so I've just been using that.
Here's a fix:
go to Menu>Search and search for is:unread then hold-tap on each item (like to copy/paste a text box), and tap "Mark Read"
Works for me every time. It appears that the issue is that when you open and read a message in Gmail on your phone, it doesn't sync that to the server. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
Same here, last night I read on another android phone section, to go into Settings, Sync, Uncheck sync all, then uninstall Google/Gmail account, reset phone, go back & re-add your account, sync. So far its worked for me & no more issues.
I've been on android for many years, and know my way around for sure. I've been running the CM10.1 nightlies with the faux123 kernel for quite a while and everything was working well. Suddenly in the last few days, Gmail sync stopped working. The odd thing is that Exchange emails are getting pushed, Chrome to phone works, calendar, browsing etc. all work. Gmail will eventually sync, but I need to open the Gmail application app and force a sync.
Here is what I've already tried
- Disable and enable gmail sync
- Clear cache
- Clear data
- Installed stock 4.2.2 ROM (bigxies)
- Reinstalled CM10.1 after a factory reset
- Installed stock again
- Reinstalled new baseband and radio
I'm now running stock 4.2.2 and still can't get Gmail sync to work. Can anyone offer any advice?
When reinstalling/changing ROMs are you restoring account system data with TitaniumBackup? I had one account not syncing for like a month across three different ROMs. Had to just delete and add all my accounts again to fix it.
You haven't tried removing and re-adding your Google account?

No, only restoring apps + app data. I never back up system data.

Yes, I did this first (forgot it in my list), and did this when I did a factory reset with stock ROM twice as well.
This happened to me whenever I tried restoring Gmail app+data from Ti Backup. Whenever I wipe, I have to uninstall Gmail and redownload from Google Play.
It was odd. I finally got it working but turning off Gmail sync for 24 hours, and then back on. It was the oddest thing, but I guess it fixed itself.
