Hi Folks,
This is my first time on the XDA Developers forum so go easy on me, i've had a look around but cannot seem to find any posts with this problem.
I have a nexus 4 and have set up my 3 email accounts on the stock email app. The checking frequency is set to 'never' on each account as i only check my email once every day or so and don't want any unnecessary data usage.
So my issue is that if i load the app into combined view, so all my email accounts show on the same screen, there is no option to sync all 3 accounts at the same time, i have to click into each account individually for the sync process to start, then go back into combined view to see all 3 accounts email on the one screen. I'm sure that can't be right as that seems to defeat the object of having the combined view if i have to click into each account to start the sync, i might as well view the accounts individually. I'm sure that on my old HTC One X on the HTC Mail app as soon as i launched the app the sync process started for all the accounts on the phone.
I have tried turning auto sync on in the 'data usage' menu but it doesn't make any difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
The thread subject is kind of misleading which makes it look like a bug but anyway.
This is normal and not really a bug at all what so ever, you can use a 3rd party app from the Play Store to do the job.

SOLUTION FOUND: LOOK AT MY 2ND POST, or 3rd POST IN THE THREAD.
Hi All,
New to the forum, apologies ahead of time for any n00bness. I am trying to connect my Facebook account (not using the android for Facebook app found in the marketplace) through the motorblur "add account" short cut, but I receive an error that states "An internal server error has occurred."
Thanks ahead of time.
I am also having this exact same issue.
Solution found
Hey, just going to respond here because I found a solution.
It looks as if i was really anal retentive about what applications facebook talked to and disallowed the use of any applications to interact with facebook. This lead to the the "Internal server error" when trying to add the facebook account to motoblur. This can be fixed using the following:
Account-> Privacy Settings-> Apps & Websites -> Edit Settings-> Turn on platform apps
This should allow you to connect to facebook. It worked for me.
Thank you! Worked perfectly.

So I'm new having just moved to Android from WM, and have configured all my accounts on the phone (that's 7 email accounts under Accounts), now my problem is simple I see no way to actual see existing messages in the inbox's, when I get a mail it shows up in notifications, but other than the gmail accounts (all 5 of which are available from the gmail app if separately), getting to the yahoo, msn or aol accounts (mostly used of IM, but mail does go to them some times) is just not easy. I really expected more from Android when it comes to email accounts. I've seen programs like Enhanced Email or Pure Messenger in the market place, but before I went and sent money, I thought I'd ask if there was something I'm missing built in or free?
On the same note I'm finding the Widgets that are provided for Google voice, are ugly and others say for email are simply not present at all. All of this is making me miss my HTC Sense interface on WM. However there I'd expect solutions for all of these issue, which is what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
ERIC
You'll find all your emails in the messaging app
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I know the app you are suggesting, but so far it always says no emails, yet the gmail app shows well over a hundred, so as far as I can tell its not working, also like to crash on me, so I do not think it is a solution.
Thanks,
ERIC
You can try K9-Mail for an e-mail client. Works amazing for me.

have you configured the email accounts in their respective sections in MESSAGING app as has already been suggested? the app works fine here, so if you are having problems, factory reset and try again. i dont really understand what the problem is. your question originally was how to access them, then when told how to access them you say it's not working. if its not working, start there and figure out WHY its not working......THAT would be your problem, wouldnt it?
not trying to be hostile or funny here, but if you love HTC Sense, you do know there are plenty of androids running HTC sense right?
or you can wait for a HTC Sense ROM
I have five accounts running with no problem. Try a factory reset like someone else suggested.

By default its only set to sync the past 3 days of mail. Go into account settings from the messaging app and bump it up to 30 days. 30 days is the max which is a bummer. On my past win mobile you could tell it to sync all mail.

Any1 having issues with their Google Calendar not syncing?
This is my first Nexus 7 - 32GB
OS - 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Stock
Can't get any entries onto my N7 calendar widget.
Is it a 4.1.2 issue or my user error?
Did you enable calendar sync in /settings/accounts/Google?
Is your Gmail account ticked in calendar/settings/calendars to display?

Yes to both!
Update: just unchecked the accounts & added back.
Lo&behold it works.
Thanks for chiming in.
Slight different problem I am having...
In settings -> accounts -> google, there is no calendar entry despite the fact that I have installed calendar from the market.
When I go to sync in the calendar app, it shows my google account, but clicking on that shows 'no calendars'. I don't know why it's not working as it syncs just fine to my phone, so I don't think it's a sharing or permission error.
Anyone with a suggestion?
Similar problem
Hey I'm experiencing a similar issue, my google calendar won't sync, tells me to add an account and when I do says it has already been added. If I try to add a new entry the app force closes.
Bough the N7 yesterday, have been using google calendar on my phone just fine. Tried resyncing but no joy. Any solutions out there for this?
Found a solution if anyone comes here with a similar problem, turns out the calendar was not visible, just click on today's window in the app and make sure all the accounts are white rather than tan. Wow, do I feel silly hehe

Hi, I am not a super-user, but also not quite a noob. I've rooted devices and feel I'm relatively competent. I am only mentioning this to simply clarify who's asking, because I am not at all clear on these instructions.
I missed a doctor appointment because my phone (which had all my appointments) did not sync to my N7. Oddly, it did sync some (when, I don't know). I've tried everything I could think of. I've only had the N7 for about 2 weeks, and have found the menu options lacking.
To be clear, my phone has the data. The N7 does not. All boxes have been checked on both Google accts. And, as one does in a situation like this, I unchecked and rechecked them to no avail.
Thanks for the help and everyone's suggestions.

Trying to help a friend and I don't want to make a mess of his phone. What happens when I "uncheck" the google accont? Does it erase his user completely with pictures and contacs and so on?
Hey guys,
I could not find any recent related issue
Basically Contacts sync for facebook is not pulling a single record into my contacts. All other account contacts show up, but facebook's
I already tried turning fb sync on and off, clearing app cache and data, uninstalling, reinstalling... Turning off all other sync services... Clearing data and cache from my contacts... And all of that
This is happening on my nexus 10 as well :\
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks
I noticed fb app was recently updated!
Is this a confirmed bug?

Its a Facebook issue as syncing isn't natively supported in stock android. Unlike HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz which support it as its baked into their phones. I use an app called Contact-sync for Facebook, it fixed all my FB syncing problems.
use a app named haxsync

haxsync is worth the price. Gets nice high res contact pictures and adds events and birthdays into your regular calendar app. perfect.
Get haxsync. It not only syncs contacts it syncs Facebook calendars too. Well worth the dollar or two.

It's between Facebook and Google - they had a hissy fit on who 'owns' the contact data on your phone and until they make up it's never gonna be (officially) fixed

Your question was answered by kzoodroid.
Android Jelly Bean does not support contact syncing with facebook.
Device manufacturers like HTC and Samsung added the facebook contact sync into their own devices.. Because they have a contact app (phonebook) that pulls your contacts status updates and such.
Nexus 4 is LG, so no Facebook Contact Sync.
Sidenote: The Contact Sync & Status Updates work for those contacts that have Google+ Profiles though.
Just open the contact, and swipe over, and you'll see their Google+ Info.

What app did you go with? I've never had any problems with Contact Sync for Facebook.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&hl=en
Also the new 2.0 update of Facebook supposedly was written with native code for Android but it still doesn't sync all my contacts.
Haxsync is still the best option in my opinion, the added functionality plus jellybean works too. Also I emailed the dev with an issue and received a response to resolve it the next day. Can't beat that!!

It's actually there for a reason. I'm not sure if you heard, but since a few months ago Facebook has been syncing your phone contacts with your facebook contacts. Not to add any info to your phone, but to add phone numbers and other information to your facebook contact book. It's really dodgy, and facebook was called out on it for not clearly informing users when they first started doing it. A lot of people still have no idea that their contact's phone numbers/email addresses/etc. are being used by facebook in that way.

Wait, so Facebook 2.0 syncs status updates and such now, and you're just having a problem with a few of your contacts? or did you mean to say that it still doesn't sync?
Wasn't sure where to post this. For the last year or so despite having Gmail as auto sync, it would not sync unless I manually pull down to sync it.
Well I found a solution after a year long search of no results. Under settings, battery and selecting the top 3 button on top right of battery screen I selected batty optimization. And changed Gmail to not optimized. Gmail now sync with out errors.
I was thrilled to fix it and wanted to post for others who may be in the same issue.
Mods, if this needs to go to another section please move. Wasn't sure where to post this.

Not sure if you read the whole post, but by removing battery optimization from Gmail solved the issue. I'm not trying to say I have an issue. I'm sharing the solution in case anyone else is having that same issue.

Fully read your post. I had the same issue and for that reason I tried several mail clients.
Since several months I am using Aquamail. IMO better than Gmail. Aquamail has more options and is flexible and important for me there is a dark theme. That's my solution and like to add it to your nice post.
