for some reason since yesterday i cannot add more google accounts to my epic4g?? i stalls for a few minutes then i get "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server. i tried using wifi instead of the internet on my phone, i get the same issue..then i restarted my phone a few times...still the same problems even until today. i had already 4 gmail accounts synced, so i thought i had maxed out...i deleted 1 and tried to readd a new one, same issue...whats worst was i couldnt even get my old one back in there now! anyone having the same issues lately? thanks
I had same issue. Only I had one google and one google account synced through exchange. When I swapped it to a google. Yes first deleting it then re-adding. I got this issue. To make things worse I lost the ability to install apps from market. It took 3 hard resets to then allow me to add 1 google account. After installing all apps I wanted I went ahead and added the other account but not as a google instead as exchange again. Wasn't worth the headache again. No idea why something so simple has become so complex.

Anyone have problems with mail syncing?
It seems to have stopped working and only syncs when I go in the app.
surely I am not the only person with this problem...
yes i have same thing...i disabled calender and book sync and toggled auto sync...then presto mine was fixed...still not sure why.

I don't have book and changing calendar has not made a difference. Also noticed that it happens on TI backup now. Not sure if it is related
I've even done factory a reset and nothing has changed. No idea why!
must be a way to get this going again...can't clear data in the app section which is odd
I have this with my school e-mail since they installed exchange server 2010. To fix it (temporarily), you have to clear all the categories on all the events in your calendar (via outlook, thunderbird or web-based) and then re-apply them.
Note: it is temporary because every so many weeks, the issue reappears.
Yep. Same here. Noticed it a few weeks ago and thought it was just me. Had a major clearout on the phone (new SD card, hard reset, etc. etc.) and it's still a problem.
So it's standard HTC ROM (2.3.3) and I'm syncing with MS Exchange. As the OP says, there is no sync unless I open the app, irrespective of changes made to the scheduling. For what it's worth it's currently set to sync every 10 mins Mon-Fri 9.00 until 18.00 and then every hour off-peak.
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.
I've tried lots of stuff, I factory reset and cleared all caches.. and reflashed my rom used supercharger (which doesn't stick) nothing works -.- I'm on EH17 Urban Vendetta rom. Any ideas to fix?

Had this problem a hundred thousand times before I enabled journaling. I forget exactly what I did. What I cleared exactly. But I think on mine I cleared cache of contacts in titanium. And then google services framework. Sorry I can't be more help but that's roughly how I fixed it. Don't worry to much, it's very annoying but it is fixable. And also when you do get it sorted flash journaling on zip. Fyi I found all the info I needed with a few google searches.

You basically have two options, you can Odin and start again or wipe everything 3x and re-flash the ROM. once it boots, you can power down, wipe everything 3x and restore a nandroid backup. Some people have had success wiping app data then booting to recovery and wiping cache and Dalvik. That works sometimes but the other two methods will eliminate the error. Make sure you are running journal on for stability

I reflashed and wiped the first few times that happened. After that I got away with clearing contacts and google service. So 3 options atleast in my experience.

Are you restoring data? It may be corrupted. Restore an older backup after all the wipes or best yet don't restore anything and download your apps fresh from the market and don't forget to enable journaling.

I had this problem span over to good nands that I knew for a fact were good backups (restored many times). The only way to fix it is use Odin, once this was done my nands were good again, free of FC's, go figure o_0 .
Same thing as the op....urban vendetta...ill try to odin/repartition to try to fix nand errors
Great advice guys, honestly I didn't feel like using Odin XD but I cleared eerything x3 and cleared cache w/ Titanium, and it worked! Then. Flashed a Journaling.zip so I think I'm good now. Thanks! I really didn't wan switch from this rom, it's been working really well for me.
Edit: Wait spoke to soon I'm getting acore FC'S Again -.-
Flashed caches in recovery and it stopped so far.

i have this problem too, just started happening after switching launchers on E17. I ditched TW to use ADW and Gapps started force closing. I tried to clear data for gapps but the option is greyed out in the Manage Apps menu.
Oddly enough, i'm not in the mood for a reflash either.

One fix for the GAPPs FC on Epic.
I recently fixed a problem like this that had me pulling out my hair. I Odin'ed a new modem, reflashed SRF. I finally resorted to a stock ROM and still no joy. Phone would ring and not answer, calls had no volume, Google framework crashed repeatedly.
For some reason, I plugged in a set of earbuds and suddenly the sound worked and it quit crashing. Everything back to normal.
Why? I think there was grit and moisture stuck in the earphone jack. Plugging in the earphones dislodged it. Strange but true.
If you just clear data on google framework with titanium backup you should resolve the problem.

It happens if you pull battery while phone is on or when phone battery dies while phone performing some task.
1 Turn off the phone before battery dies
2 Dont pull battery while phone is on,unless theres no other choice
3 Have journaling on
If you follow these rules you will almost never get these fc's.

Didn't work for me. Neither did 3x cache wipe and dalvik wipe.
I also have a podcast I downloaded randomly play. Weird thing is, I DL'd it months ago and deleted it! It's weird.

I found a post on google.com's support. I believe I have the problem narrowed down to syncing Gmail contacts and syncing Facebook. I can't remove my Gmail account unless I wipe the phone and I don't want to have to do that.
I cleared FB data and re-synced and it gives a FC and then a sync error.
I should be okay with both of these items not syncing contacts, as I really only add contacts to my phone anyways. Here is the text from the post I found:
user dchoule01 from this link http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=23c329285968cd2e&hl=en
"Lowly and chrs are closest to understanding the problem. From everything I've seen this can happen on pretty much any model of phone, any carrier, and because of email, contacts, calendar. If you google this gapps force close you'll find every combination, but there's always one thing in common... a phone tries to sync some tidbit (an email, event, contact) and fails with this error. Everyone suggests backing up and deleting and restoring and copying and yada yada yada. Other solutions work for one person but not another because for me it was a bad calendar event and for you it was a bad contact. For me I'm syncing two external calendars to my phone and you're syncing three. For me I'm syncing X days of calendar and you're syncing Y Days. I deleted records server side and you did it on the phone. I cleared data and you didn't. It's endless. All these variables cause tons of confusion.
Bottom line is this...
Turn the sync off for all accounts on your phone (gmail account, facebook account, exchange account, whatever accounts you have.) Under each account there are individual services, like the gmail account syncs contacts, calendar, email, and picassa, while my exchange account syncs a second email and calendar. Turn off (uncheck) sync for each individual service.
Feel free to backup data from those apps if you want, can't hurt, but resyncing later should put it all back... unless you've created something solely on your phone like local calendar events or local contacts. When I create calendar events and contacts on my phone I always attach them to my server side gmail account so they're available both on the phone and on the internet (when adding a new contact on the phone I choose "save to google" and for calendar it's the calendar you choose - "my calendar" is the local one and your google email is the server side calendar.) If you have purely local stuff then you'll want to back that up because it'll be lost, it's not synced to anything server side.
Go into apps - manage - each app (gmail, calendar storage, etc) and clear data & cache. Depending on the app you may have to put account info back in later, like if you clear data in email you'll have to log back in the next time you open the app. Same with facebook. If you clear data for something like an exchange account you'll have to re-enter the account info because that's stored in the app's data storage along with cached emails. Just be ready after clearing data & cache that you may need to re-enter login info for that specific thing.
Now go back to accounts, pick one, drill down into its services, and turn on each service one by one by checking the green checkmark to turn sync back on. Let the wheel spin until it's done. Sometimes helps to be connected to wifi prior so syncs happen faster. As you turn on each sync and let it *completely* finish you will eventually run across one of them that causes the 1-3 buzz and gapps force close. For me it's always been calendar but other people have seen emails and contacts cause this. Another thread here ended with google support saying they had corrected the problem in gmail for people running 2.1 but I haven't seen them address 2.2 or calendar / contacts.
Okay, so all you've really done now is narrow down the problem to the offending app, and it could be one of several possibles, so I won't detail each individual fix for each app, but basically what you now do is compare records on you're phone to records on the server side. Maybe you do that by syncing contacts and see where it chokes, maybe you visually compare calendar events on the phone to the ones in google calendar. However you do it, you'll eventually find a record that's in one place and not the other, or it's in both places but some attribute doesn't match. You've found your perpetrator. That's the record that gapps is choking on. There may be more than one record choking, but I've only ever seen it happen to one at a time.
For that one app, once again, turn off sync, clear data & cache, and then before turning sync back on, delete that one record from the server side (it's already gone from the phone when you cleared data.)
When you turn sync back on it should re-sync all the happy records and that bad record will be gone, it's not server side and it's not on the phone, so it shouldn't choke on it anymore. You can then recreate that one record bad on the server side and it should push down to the phone just fine.
In a nutshell it appears that there is some problem with google's sync that creates a bad record, or a bad pointer to a record, and the phone can't sync to that one record, so it chokes each time it tries. Sometimes the bad record is on the phone and it can't push up, sometimes it's on the server and it can't pull down. To make things more confusing the sync function sleeps for a while after force closing, so it can appear to be fixed. And if you have juicedefender or something that kills data connection when the screen is off you might think you've fixed the problem, only to see it come back later when you're using your phone on some unrelated screen and sync wakes up in the background and retries that bad record. It makes it look like Memo or Browser is causing the gapps force close but that's only because you're viewing that app when sync wakes up in the background.
I've found this problem occurs most when I add, edit, or delete events, contacts, email from the phone. Creating records on the internet in google normally works fine. But in every case the fix always seems to be the same thing... isolate the offending app, normally calendar, gmail, or contacts, then isolate the offending record within that app, shut off syncing for that service, clear data on the phone, delete the record on the server, turn sync back on, everything is fine, re-create the bad record. I've had to do this three times now since Froyo was released on the Epic and the problem has been corrected with this method each time, at least until I get calendar happy and edit too many events on the phone at once instead of using google on the internet, then the problem comes back. But now that I realize what this is, I've figured out that if I see this problem come back I can just go delete the last few records (normally a cal event) that I've added / edited in the last day or so, clear data from the phone, and re-sync. That fix consistently works for me."
I don't wanna quote an delete that stuff XD. But I've read a lot that it can be due to syncing errors as well, but that wasn't the fix for me. =/ it may work for you though. When I say flash 'journaling on' I mean that there's a zip file called "journalingon.zip" floating around and flashing it often fixes these errors. =P also try fixing permissions in recovery (CWM). Surely one of these plus the instructions you've posted will fix the error.
I would upload the journalingon.zip for you to download.. but I dunno how! XD

Do you have the ICS Google+ leaked app installed? If so, that is the culprit. Happened to me. Try removing it.

No google + here.
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.
