[Q] SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts Quits - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

There seems to be a consensus that SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts has an issue with quitting, but I cannot find where anyone has been able to correct this. Does anyone know of a way to keep it from quitting when you restart the phone?

Cannot sync my Google contacts most of the time!

This is happening since I moved to ICS (first rooted stock LPY and now RR v7) and of course I am talking about Google sync.
I already tried to log off and in into the Google account without solving the problem.
Does anybody know how to sort this out??
Come on, nobody got this issue??
Yes i have the same problem ever since i upgraded to ICS
My tablet syncs without any problem.
On the phone the calendar syncs, but not the contacts.
It says it will be ok a bit later......waiting since may 21st for 'later' to arrive
Killed some services, cleared several caches, but no go.
Me too have the same problem after upgrading to stock ics rooted, it even get worse and some times i canot access market,i removed my account then added it again,still no contacts sync

Hmm... not that I am aware of.
However now that you are asking I have an AD blocker.
Perhaps it is blocking the access to some Google domains?
I might check later once back from the beach.

[Q] Google Calendar sync whits end

I have a rooted stock ROM LG G2 on VZ. I rooted only so that I could de-bloat the unit.
I must have gotten carried away although I'm not entirely sure how. I do not have a custom recovery on this unit (dumb, I know) yet.
In short, I have done every single thing I can find to get my Google Calendar to display. It works fine on my Galaxy Nexus. I've done complete resets of the G2 handset I think 3 times now based on solutions I've been able to find. Others have reported this problem and "fixed" it but with no details as to the fix. I did get rid of the stock LG Calendar App and that may have precipitated this issue but I cannot be sure.
If I go into settings--accounts--tap on Google at the top is says "Sync error" and at the bottom of the screen it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" If I tap on the account it brings up the list of Data & Synchronization items for my Google account. Calendar is not listed. From what I can tell all other aspects of my Google account are syncing without issue.
I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Not unique to your situation
I have a Galaxy SII, also flashed, and Google Calendar worked fine for over a year. Now I get nothing sync'd to my Calendar and I get exactly the same error messages you are getting.

I have had this same issue, and I think the cause of it is from Joining accounts in the address book. I got rid of the issue by removing and re adding my Google Account, but once I started joining accounts together so that there would only be on entry the same thing happened. I do not have any other way to get my google contacts to re sync without an error.

Google Calendar & S Planner resets after reboot

So this is the strangest issue I have ever encountered.
I normally use my Google Calendar for all Notifications, Gmail Sync etc.. S planner normally just runs in the Background without actually doing anything.. And it worked perfectly till I upgraded to 4.4.2 and then suddenly this error started coming up
Whenever I restart my phone its like both these applications completely get reset. S planner becomes the default app for the Calendar and the notifications, sounds, vibrations etc all get automatically turned on.. While all the settings I had in my Google calendar app get completely wiped clean as if it were a fresh install.. All the notification, sounds, vibrations, default reminder time, last viewed and I don't know if I am explaining it right but the week view the appointments/entires get zoomed in rather than zoomed completely out which is what I set it to normally..
So now I have trolled the internet for a solution almost the entire day with no luck whatsoever.. Can anyone give me one? So as to ensure my sanity by days end?
I used an Xposed Module (app ops) to limit all of the permissions of the S Planner and that ensures that no notifications are coming on on the S Planner anymore.. however it is pretty pointless as a solution as my Google calendar is still reseting itself after every reboot..
Delete this post..
I'm just facing the same problem too, can you find a solution for it?
I have this issue too. Have you found a solution for it? Both Google and Samsung calendar notification settings reset upon phone restart.
Also, it seems that kitkat is messing with how my phone, or at least third party apps, write to my SD card. I miss jelly bean already.
Same Issue Here - AT&T Galaxy S4
Exactly the same issue here on my Galaxy S4. Only been happening since the 4.4.2 update. Can't disable the (rather hideous) Samsung calendar app, either... I've taken to changing the notifications from pop-ups to emails for events created on my calendar, so that I at least get the notifications.
Edit: also worth noting is that this is happening after a hard reset (I performed one after installing the OTA update and using it for a few days in hopes that this would be resolved). No dice.
I have the same problem on Note 3, it is annoying as hell..
I have the same issue on Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Does anyone have a solution?
please do a factory reset and see what happened. or remove your google account and add it again

A factory restore did not work for me.
I also have been trying to find a solution to this annoying problem. On Kit kat. Driving my crazy..
If factory doesnt solve it the easiest way is to download your region firmware and flash it through odin.

I tried flashing the firmware again, it still didn't solve the problem! This is driving me crazy =/
i'm almost sure this is due to some kind of "security" inside samsungs implemntation of 4.4.2 because
this applies also if you install for example the new messaging from s5, it will also be replaced with the "old"
version after a reboot. also ad-away does sometimes not work on 4.4.2, as if it doesnt get proper permission
to write to /system, even on a fully rooted device!
maybe it has something to do with the full implementation of SEAndroid, see here:

this is really annoying!
I am getting the same problem and tried emailing Samsung Customer Support and this is their answer...
Your question
I don't like S Planner and would like to use Google Calendar. S Planner cannot be disabled, therefore I turn off its notifications and enable notifications on Google Calendar. Every once in a while, S Planner notifications enables by itself and Google Calendar notifications get disabled. Why is it not letting me choose my calendar app?

I hate customer service responses like this. It's as though they didn't read your question...
I'm still waiting for a solution to this other than flashing another rom or rooting, although I doubt Rogers or Samsung will care.

Any news on that?
Same problem like you guys...
Same problem here. I have an ATT S4. I used to have notifications disabled for Samsung calendar with 4.3. After the OTA update to 4.4, they grayed out that option, just to annoy us in particular. The app cannot be disabled or turned off now. I recently installed the Graviton custom rom and I continue to have double notifications. Because now I have root, I could use some hard measures to stop Samsung calendar. I don't want the calendar system to stop working for the Google app though. Does anyone know a way of removing the Samsung app safely? Will Google calendar continue to work?
I wonder if I should stop buying Samsung.
Has anyone tried wiping their phone and see if the problem persists?

Facebook Error - Try single sign-on again

Hi all,
Just setting up my new Note 4 and have come accross this issue.
The error occurs when I go into Settings, accounts, facebook and select Sync with your device. As such I am unable to sync my Calendar information with the S Calendar app.
When trying to perform the sync I receive "Unable to single sign on (SSO) to Facebook at this time" message.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
I am having exactly the same problem. Any help will be very appreciated!

Must be down or something. I'm using a galaxy s5 and it was working fine up till yesterday morning when I started to get this same error. Hmm.
Same problem here. Single sign on won;t work for facebook.
Contacs also keeps crushing the last week.
Lolipop is a real mess...
ALso in kitkat says , but with the next update on facebook this message will be gone
I don't think it's a facebook error. Twitter is also unable to SSO with the galaxy app. I am pretty sure it's a Lolipop bug.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the 5.0 lollipop update considering the update isn't available in my stress yet. When there's a new update about to hit, most phones in general start to do the same or something similar. I also have a Note 4 and my bf has a Note 3. I also work on devices frequently. At this point it will continue to be an issue. If you have the Facebook app then you're fine anyway. Just continue checking for further updates. Remember to shut down your device daily for 30 seconds to 1 minute (it's very similar to a computer).
.+1.Me too having the same problem with Facebook since friday. I'm on kitkat with my canadian N4.. I think thst is the Faceboom servers the problem.
Does twitter work? Cause I have iasues with single sign on and twitter also.
I'm also having the same problem since Thursday or Friday, Verizon note 4.. kk.. no other apps having the problem yet. . Very annoying. . .miss not being able ru sync calendar, and photos. ..

I thought it was just me.
I've only just received my Note 4 (Europe) and have the same problem. In my case it all works fine on my old Note 2 and Note 2014 Tablet but not on the Note 4. All my devices have Kit Kat as well.
I hope someone finds a solution as I want to sync my facebook calendar into the S Planner. At present I am keeping my old Note 2 alive for this purpose.
Is this only on Galaxy Devices
I too have this problem on my new S5. My Note 10.1 2014 is still working fine but SSO on the Galaxy S5 just wont work. I have done a factory Reset and still no success. I spoke with samsung which was a total waste of time. Cant wait for someone to find a solution to this.
fix
I to have the note 4 and I completely unistalled Facebook app and forced stop on calender. Reinstalled Facebook app not opening and went back to calender and added new account clicked on Facebook account then signed in. Hope this helps works great now and Facebook is sync with Google calendar.
Hi -how did you uninstall facebook ? It's part of the standard ROM on my Note 4 so I cannot remove it ? Thanks.

I'm still on KitKat and having the same SSO issue with the FB app.
Update SNS
The cause is an outdated Samsung SNS provider. After updating it to the latest version in Galaxy Apps, it will work.
Did anyone find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue on my galaxy s4.

Galaxy S5 (SM-900I) Sync Failure after Marshmallow Upgrade

Marshmallow (Android 6.0.1) was released recently for the Galaxy S5 in Australia.
All appeared well after the upgraded until I noticed that new calendar entries were were not being synchronised between the S5 and my Google account. I checked my Google account in the phone and found sync had failed for Contacts, Calendar and Tasks.
After a trying a number of different things with no success, I finally decided to do a factory wipe and reset. Everything looked OK until I installed Business Calendar 2. After a little time, I started to get sync errors again.
The only way to recover from this mess was to uninstall Business Calendar 2, remove my Google Account, delete both the Calendar and Contacts storage data and then reboot the phone. Once the phone finishes rebooting, sign in to my Google account. The phone starts to download calendar events and contacts. If you install Business Calendar 2 again, the sync function is again crippled and you have to go through the reset process again.
I have contacted the Business Calendar 2 developers but they haven;t been able to help. I also installed Google Calendar but found synchronisation unreliable. Sometimes calendar events would not synchronise. However, there were no error reported!
At this point, I have had to resort to using Samsung's S-Planner app which is very ordinary. Better than nothing I suppose.
I have done quite a bit of research and there are many Samsung S5, S6, S7 and Tab S2 user complaining about similar issues after a Marshmallow upgrade. Some have suggested disabling Power Saving but was not a solution for me.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Regards
John
