Sync Problems - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have errors while syncing with your Google account? I know its not my phone because I clean flashed a ROM twice and both couldn't connect. My WiFi is fine BTW. Do you think it could be Google prepping for the event for play services today

Across the board issue, they're working on it. Whether or not it relates to the press conference in 30 odd minutes remains to be seen.

@google
You're not really instilling a lot of confidence in me here, Doc.
Edit: Sync is working for me, now.

Same sh*t here. I first noticed when my pictures aren't backing up and that was 1 weak ago. Firstly i think it was battery-gurus fault, but i guess it's not.
It really bothers me that can't auto backup photos!

[Q] Removing Flickr Sync

I thought i'd try to see what syncing flickr does. It does nothing great, but now how can I remove this sync?
There is no option to remove, whereas everything else that is synced liked google or facebook allows me to remove the account.
Thanks.
That would've been my best advice if you hadn't already tried. I don't have a Flickr account so I wouldn't be able to replicate the issue.

The funny thing is that you don't even need an account to sync. Go into the sync section, select flickr, and you can put in whatever name you want.
Hmm alright then. I'll check it out later and see if mine does this as well. You just want to be able to delete it because it isn't doing anything right? It's not actually harming your device?

Not an answer, but I just email pics to my flickr account. Best option in my opinion.

Correct. It is not harming my device, but simply adding another line item to the list of services to sync. I would just like it to not be there anymore since I don't want to use it.

Also in my contacts group area I now get a "unknown" group from flickr that I also cannot remove because of the sync.
Had the same exact problem. Ended up doing a factory reset to get rid of it. What a PITA!

Makes sense. Finally off work so I will be able to play with it. Sounds like you all have the same deal going on. Maybe a software update will add the ability to delete since a factory reset is a drastic step.

Yea, I ran into a few issues which required a factory reset. Such simple things to code for and left missing =/
Ran into the same issue. Didn't use my phone, used someone else's that has a Flickr account.
Looks like you're going to have to wait for a software update or a dev to figure out how to solve this. Sorry I couldn't help ya out

gapps force closes after 07/16 update

I'm assuming that it's just a background process that's getting forced closed, because I'm still able to use all of the gapps without problems.
This is pretty annoying however.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I think I saw it once today.
I get this occasionally, at the same time as account sync, or afterwards. My guess right now is this is related to the bookmarks sync issues I (and others) have had.

Thanks, I'll try disabling bookmark sync .. not a huge deal for me anyway.
Just picked up a Transformer yesterday and updated and I have a fairly re-occuring force close of the google gapps(fairly being 3-4 times an hour or so). Never stops running anything, just popping up alot. Annoying.
Will try to disable bookmark sync hopefully that helps, otherwise I may be returning it before the 14 day because my fiancee thinks it's too heavy

[Q] Facebook Contacts??

Is it just me or are facebook contacts not working? As in they won't sync with the people app on my phone. It did not work for me in a stock rom or the euroskank rom and i was just wondering how to fix it if there is a possible way. Like is this a nexus thing or something, idk any input would be appreciated!:cyclops:
Does not work for me either with my N4 or N7. Easy way around this is to use haxsync.

From your homepage on your Nexus. Go to settings> accounts > facebook > contacts sync. I think that should work
or use HaxSync.

i just tried haxsync and it didnt work, even after a manual resync and a reboot. this is gunna bother me a lot.
Facebook does not use the proper way Google wants for contact syncs, so that's why it doesn't work on pure Android OS.
Google it.

HaxSync works perfectly for me on my N4. Perhaps there is something wrong with your set up that is preventing HaxSync from working for you?

The fix is for Facebook to fix their Contact sync. Or use 3rd party programs.
Facebook thinks you don't own your contacts. If someone removes you as a friend Facebook things that contact info should dissappear from your phone. That's not right and that's not what Google allows.

Did you also download the haxsync jelly bean workaround? Haxsync is working just fine on both my nexus devices.

I did and it didnt work but i had a euro skank rom so maybe thats why it wasnt working. so i decided to go back to stock and i accidentally formatted the sd card and bricked my phone. scariest moment of my life haha, thank god for wug's nexus root toolkit. Now im back to stock, unrooted and locked. i'm gunna attempt haxsync tomorrow since i am done ****ing with my phone after bricking it!

That's the way I did it, and it worked for me... Stock rooted 4.2.1
The profile pictures sucked, though... I had haxsync, but found that Contact Sync for Facebook does a far better job getting statuses, bdays, and most important, those nice looking, hi res profile pics

[Q] Push email on stock Rom unrooted

Dear friends...
One of the very few disadvantages of this fantastic device is that the stock email app doesnt support push for more than one hotmail account.
(or windowslive or live etc)
Appart from the main account, the others use manual fetch. (Only the time periods for fetch can be adjusted)
I've tested a number of apps and the only one that seems to be working properly with push and no problems is Touchdown HD.
The problem is that this app is a little expensive (after the 30 day trial)
Any other recommendations verified to be working?
Please keep in mind that for the time being I don't intend on rooting the device so all suggestions should be for the stock phone.
My device is the international version.
Thanks

I use outlook.com app for hotmail (official microsoft email app).
I syncs everything and gives you push email. However I dunno if it supports more than 1 account.

Wow! I just read the comments on the play store and they are horrible. I just remembered this is why I didn't download this app when I was looking. Someone even mentions that they blocked his account after some confusion. A bit of a gamble this one....

Update on my last comment:
The app (oulook) works great and looks just like I like it!!! Clean and minimalistic!!!
Not a lot of settings (like notification sound for example) but I dont care. Looks nice, push works fine!!!
For now, Im keeping it.
Thanks again
