Picasa Web Album Sync Problem after Update - Xperia Arc General

Hi there,
yesterday i´ve flashed the new .368 rom on my german arc. I´ve done this with full wipe.
After setup i´ve checked the syncs and there must be a problem with the Picasa Web Album part. The sync is not working anymore.
I can deselect and reselect the option, for a short time sync starts and ends with an error...but to short to read it.
On my x10 with same settings sync runs fine - so i think using a @googlemail.com account is not the problem...
What can i do? I´ve done another wipe and setup but the problem is still there.
Is this a general bug?

I have had the same issue since I updated my Arc as well. Wondered whether you now needed to have the Picasa Web album app on the phone as well?

Has anybody managed to solve this problem?
I have updated my Arc to 2.3.4 in since then Picasa Web Sync does not work. There is no error message, just nothing happens and the sync icon persists. I have for now unchecked this option, but would like to use it

Picasa Sync
I have the same problem with my Arc. I managed to read the error message that flashes up for milliseconds by repeatedly switching sync on & off. It says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Not much help & it doesn't come back! I installed Picasa Downloader instead.

Same issue here on 2.3.4 - 4.0.2.A.0.42. have logged with sony, who say they are not aware of the issue, but will investigate.

Dont have the issue on my Samsung 10.1 Android device (same accout and settings). Only a Sony Ericsson issue?

Have the same problem here.
Originally, my phone was syncing all day, and it totally killed the battery in 4 hours! I cleared the cache and now Picasa fails to sync (but at least the battery isn't getting fried by constant failure to sync and a really tight retry loop)

Problem with Google Contacts Sync on updated ROM?

I just wanted to ask whether anyone else had run into the same problem or now. I have installed HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 with radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 on my unbranded Hero and it has been great. Really fast and it seems less buggy.
However I had one major issue. When I turned on my phone this morning all my contacts were gone! So I went into data synchronisation and made sure the box was ticked.
I ticked and unticked it, however things aren't quite syncing up properly at the moment. The contacts are back, but when I make edits on my phone they are not carrying through to google's servers ... Any advice? Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: I have tried syncing my contacts again. After the little arrows stop spinning the last updated time still stays the same. It's stuck on 07:22 at the moment and it's 07:39 here ...
EDIT2: This problem exists on the wifi and mobile data connection.
Could it be that this is a problem on Google's end?
Woah! And we're back!
It seems to have fixed itself!
Not for me. Still have this issue, does anyone else?
God damn! My Hero deleted all its contacts again. It takes ages to sync changes and if you do too many at once it just doesn't do it, crashes and deletes all your contacts.
NOT awesome!
I have posted a support ticket with HTC, I'll see what they say.
I already experienced an "issue" with a delay from google contacts.
But I deleted everything, then synched and after a while (about 15 minutes) all contacts where shining in my Hero.
I have similar issue.
I can get my contacts from Google but cannot make new ones on the server side. I will check it thoroughly later on and report you back.
Google add to contact
The whole option to add to Google contacts is missing on mine. Google contacts are still present and seemingly updating.
So not exactly the same behaviour, but might be worth checking your phone.

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] Contacts not syncing on new flash ***SOLVED***

*****SOLVED******
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.

Unable to sync browser

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.

[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

Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Do not think they will border to fix it since chrome for android is around the corner.

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
