Unable to sync browser - Xoom General

I have been unable to sync my browser bookmarks with Google chrome, I already tried the clear cache thing and the delete data thing and it doesn't work, I also tried deleting my Google account in the "Account and Sync" and remaking it.
When I went into the account and sync and forcing a sync with the refresh button, everything syncs fine but the "Sync Browser" would show the syncing icon but it would move for a few minutes then stop but not disappear.

I have the same problem. I did some Googling and it looks like it could be a bug with 3.22 (

My 3G Xoom's still 3.1

Im having this problem as well,been trying to figure out what the deal is. The only way i fixed this problem is to do a factory reset any idea's here i wanna fix this but dont want to have to rebuild everthing again.

same here. Some bookmarks synched but last few days sync browser shows icon and won't disappear.

I had the same issue a week ago and spent ages trying to force it to resync using various methods. I think it was an issue with Google's systems as 3 days later I did a sync and it all worked fine without me doing anything.

So far I have tried a factory reset and still no dice so I think the problem is on Google's side.

Update: It seems to be okay updating them a few at a time

pretty sure it's on google's side. I've spent hours on this and so has another member of the forums named mike. Wiped cache within the browser then went into app settings and wiped cache/data/force closed. Then went to google dashboard and reset chrome sync. Then launched xoom browser and it worked every time, however, the second I reimported my bookmarks on my desktop (they had to be empty to get the xoom to sync) it would break again. Left it sitting a few hours and it synced the folders but none of the bookmarks in them. Logcat said that it was losing the data stream mid sync and was either a problem of wrongly reported size of data being transported or loss of connection. I'm betting on google's side.

i had the same issue (Gapps would FC) and i got it to work. It seems i had to many bookmarks. I did a back up on my desktop and deleted a bunch of bookmarks. I would slowly add more to it and resync. Since the bookmarks were already on the xoom it would just add the others. I now have all my bookmarks and they sync with out a problem now.

Gmail sync is busted

My Gmail sync is busted. I am not getting incoming emails nor sending outgoing mails. When i scroll down my old emails, at the point where it starts to load more older ones, I instead get a message "No connection" and "retry" button. Retry is unsuccessful.
When i go into the data and synchronization setting and manually try to sync the gmail, I get a 1-frame-flash on the bottom which flashes me a message saying "Sync is not currently experiencing problems. Please try again later".
I then add a secondary gmail account and it syncs perfectly!! But my primary one doesn't work! I can't remove my primary account and re-add it unless I do a factory reset...which I don't want to do.
I've tried a reboot and it didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?
I've got the same problem today. It seems that it's a server problem.
Server problem, even though a secondary account synced fine?
If I'm not the only one...then that makes me feel better.
I have this issue with WM
I use Google sync with WM device (My N1 should arrive tomorrow) and have had a similar (if not exact) problem. When I receive a mail from a specific sender ([email protected]) 90% of the cases it breaks the sync. I also sync that same account via IMAP on a secondary account in my WM device - just in case.. syncing every 30 minutes.. (that sync works fine) so I can use the IMAP account to delete the problematic mail.. and then, once deleted (or archived if I use the web interface) the problem is gone.
Try to find if there was a mail message you got that caused the problem. it is probably either the last synced mail or the one just after that...
Update:
The sync fixed itself this morning. It started syncing nonstop for a good hour (I'm on ATT Edge too) and I wasn't sure what it was doing, but the end result is I can now get my emails and notifications again.
On a separate note, I also noticed that now in my Gmail app, I can access every email dating back to 9/11/09. That's hundreds of emails. And If I scroll all the way to the bottom, there's no more loading earlier conversations, so 9/11/09 is the farthest back I can access my email without searching.
Does anyone know that there is such a limit to looking into past emails? Also, Anyone know why it doesn't just expose a 15-20 emails at a time like previously? Is it because once the email is exposed, it's cached somewhere and I don't need to load it anymore? If so, I'd love to know where I can delete this cache.
Some other members have experienced a similar issue with no sync. They fixed the broken sync by doing this(and this is how you can clear that cache as well)
Setting->Apps->Manage Apps-> gmail/gmail storage->clear data and cache(if you can, on my G1 I can just clear data, no cache shows)
You will probably just want to clear the gmail storage one, but doing both probably wouldn't be that big of a deal.

On older versions of Android, we could clear the cache on all Google apps... but this isn't available through the Manage Applications screen in 2.1. Not sure why Google took out this feature.. Previously if Gmail stopped synching, we would clear the cache and it would start working again. Hopefully this doesn't become an unfixable issue with 2.1.

They took it out? That sucks! Can you do the clear data at least? And I could swear I read someone with a Nexus One had this issue, and cleared the data or cache for gmail and fixed it... maybe it was in the G1 forum, starting to get confused following both at the same time.

Aha I found it! I may be an Android noob but I can still be useful.
Within Manage Apps, click hit Menu > Filter > All. This will expose all the native apps as well and you can clear your cache till the cows come home. I just found this a minute ago and cleared out my cache for my Gmail, default browser, and Youtube. That felt sooooo good, since I'm such a storage nazi.

Microsoft My Phone stuck on Authenticationg user

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

[Q] Problem synching Chrome bookmarks

Does anyone have problems synching Chrome bookmarks? I Got this problem after updating to 3.1, and hoped to be fixed on 3.2, but it appears it doesn't. After some research (Google search of course ), it appears that the problems originated after Google made changes to the chromesync service.... And Asus launched a patch to fix this. Is any word from Acer
Thanks!
Problem Fix
It appears that the big guys at Google have already fixed the Sync problem, today all my bookmarks have been synched in my Iconia.
it s a known problem, see

I don't know if it's been fixed per se. It used to crash my google services and now does not, so I could consider it fixed in that regard - but it doesn't sync mine. If I look in my browser sync under accounts and sync and my google account the sync icon is there and no matter how many times it spins and stops, the sync date isn't updated.
It's possible my Google is just too heavy with extra stuff. Not sure though and I'm not willing to uncheck any of my stuff because I want it all synced.
Update: Yes, I'm still seeing an issue. My browser sync now comes up with Sync Error after a few seconds and the last full sync date was 9/5/2011

com.google.process.gapps force closing in 3.2 KMN

Anyone else besides me getting this? I had no idea what was causing it at first, but it seems that within 5-10 minutes of using the Tab regularly, the force close prompt would come up. I'd hit close, however, none of the apps I was currently in at the time would close. Every 2-3 minutes, like clockwork, the prompt would show up again. Got very annoying.
From the suggestion of another member, I took down my G-Mail widget and rebooted. Used the Tab like normal, still force closing. I then realized it COULD be the stock browser. I downloaded Dolphin for Tab Beta and used that...no force closes (yet). I have a suspicion that it could be the browser.
Is this happening with anyone else? I'm on stock KMM with the KMN CSC, odexed, with root and CWM. No other OS changes/alterations have been made. I even wiped the device completely, including my storage partition, re-downloaded and re-flashed, and it was still occurring with stock browser use.
Uncheck sync bookmarks with Chrome. Used to have the same issue and it drove me nuts.
I had this issue with syncing bookmarks. Fixed it by going to the Google Dashboard (sorry don't have the URL) and clearing the data section under Chrome. No issues since then.

Well this is getting out of hand for me. I started noticing this after the 3.2 update, but now it's getting crazy. I wasn't able to uncheck the sync in the Android browser options, I had to clear the data and then simply not sync it, but I think its still trying to sync. I did go to the dashboard and clear the data there as well per the suggestion in this thread. I am un-rooted running stock 3.2 update. I can see in the error report that it crashing on trying to sync bookmarks. What a pain!

Try creating a new gmail account (you don't actually have to use it for anything) and sync the bookmarks to that instead.
Sounds like a good idea to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks!

You have to go to accounts and sync, your Google account, and uncheck bookmarks from there. That's what stops the bookmark sync. You can't uncheck in browser and clearing data from the browser is unrelated.

Calendar has suddenly disappeared!

My Google calendar was syncing perfectly fine for the first 2-3 days that I had my N7, but suddenly and inexplicably any shared calendar I had synced on Google will not show up on the device. The only thing that will show up are things that are on my personal calendar, but shared calendars such as my school's have completely disappeared. It still displays perfectly fine on my phone (MyTouch 4g) and in browser.
I have tried clearing the calendar cache and data, as well as removing and re-adding my google account. I even created a second account that had the shared calendar's synced to it, and still no luck. I even uninstalled any app I could conceivably imagine would affect the calendar. The only thing left is factory resetting, and I really would rather avoid that if possible. Any suggestions??
I have the same issue. I hope we fond a solution.

Well, about 2 hours after posting this thread my calendar suddenly came back out of nowhere. I wasn't even trying to fix it and I have no idea why it did. Hopefully it will stay like this and I hope yours fixes itself too.
Thanks. I never have figured it out. Glad yours is fixed!

Well the problem came back yesterday out of nowhere. I tried clearing the calendar data as well as calendar storage data, resetting, removing/adding the calendar.. etc, with no luck. After doing some online searching, it seems that there are others with Nexus 7s that are also affected by this odd problem.
