After a few days with the last UK firmware (build PE2) I did not receive any notification from Inbox about new email arrived. I can see the emails entering the app and by doing that I am asked to activate the account sync, but trying to activate it I see that any sync option for the Google account is disabled and I can't change anything (Gmail, Inbox, Contacts, Chrome etc etc)
I tried to cancel the account and recreate it but it did not sort out the problem. I've read in the net that it might be a conflict between doze and the Google account and that this bug is present with many Android phones with Marshmallow
Any advice to get rid of this problem? Many thanks!

Hi all
Sorry if this is not an appropriate place to ask, but please let me know of somewhere more suitable if not.
I've got two google accounts bound to my N1. One is a google apps premier account (which I use for email sync) and a normal googlemail account (which I use for calendar and contacts sync).
I use Gtalk on my desktop PC's for the first account (premier apps) and not on the second one, however when I fire up Gtalk on my N1 it is using the second account and not the one I want! I have not found an option to change this behaviour.
Does anyone know how to change which account Gtalk uses on the N1?
Thanks
Android will use the account you entered first. I entered my google apps account first then the gmail account and if I now try to remove the gmail account it says I can't. This is because android has bound the gmail account to the services not supported on google apps accounts.

Hm. I added my gmail account first and then the gapps one. I too found that if I try and remove an account it wants me to factory reset my phone and lose all data/config! This is pretty crappy.
I'm hoping someone can come up with a hack or something to change this behaviour regarding gtalk as I certainly don't want to reset my phone simply to get gtalk working.
I think a reset is the only way for now :-/
This is really poor. Google have slipped up somewhat with annoyances like this
hmm... i've the same problem .. then all we can do is wait
My current workaround is to use the eBuddy application, which is working just fine.
Probably off topic, but has anyone had complaints from their regular buddies about the phone causing frequent disconnects/reconnects to their chat client? One of mine got so annoyed by the alerts that he has cut me off... (using pidgin with my primary gmail account)
(I'm guessing that it happens when I'm connected via wi-fi and voice calls come in... ? ) Does anyone have any settings suggestions for either 1) staying connected or 2) having it just wake up when needed?
I think you can go into Manage Applications in Settings, hit menu and then filter, then select All. Clear the data for Gapps and Gmail, and then reboot. If you do it right, it should ask you to login again like it did when you first turned your phone on. Login with whichever account you want to use Gtalk with.
I recently upgraded to Froyo and am now having serious problems with synching calendar items which were created on the device by third-party applications. To be more precise I used Call Log Calendar until now to log messages and calls to a dedicated Google Calendar. The entries do appear on my i9000 but never get synched to the online version of the calendar - unless I open them with the integrated calendar app and save them once (without changing anything). The author of the programm actually confirmed that this problem exists under Samsung's version of Froyo (due to a change/bug in the calendar api). All third-party programs should be affected. Could someone please confirm this?
I can confirm this after just checking my "Call Logs" work calendar and seeing zero events since upgrading to Froyo. Forcing a sync didn't change anything, either. Nuts.
maybe try re-adding your user account to the phone to sync with Gmail account
then forcing a sync, and see if successive syncs are automatic or not
You can't remove a primary Google Account unless you do a factory reset. However, I did even that. Still doesn't work. I'm loosing faith in Samsung....
samsung / google are 2 separate entities
how can you blame samsung when it's google account sync that is not working?
now if more than 51% of the XDA owners of SGS have the same problem, then we can say it's a samsung problem
but when most of the owners have no problem syncing their phones with google, then it just leaves to be a problem with the specific unit you are using, or something to do with your account
there was a trick some one mentioned on another topic to fix bugs in google accounts
you have to login to youtube or link up your gmail account with the youtube account, then it'll fix whatever was the problem that was preventing you from syncing.
i had a similar issue before and it worked indirectly, i actually found out it was a problem with the name of my account that google didn't like, according to youtube
Hi All
I have a Milestone 2 and have set this up so that it syncs my Hotmail (via corporate sync) and yahoo accounts. The hotmail account also syncs my contacts and calendar.
I noticed that random contacts would dissapear from my contacts list or that some would have part of their details removed (like phone numbers). On my hotmail account and outlook the contacts are still all there and fine and it is just my phone. I spoke to Motorola who told me to do a hard reset. I did this but still have the same issue. Now they want me to send the phone to them for 2 weeks. I dont see why this is needed as its obviously a software fault that they need to fix. Any ideas on how I can solve this?
I was thinking of not using motoblur and using another app to do the EAS for the hotmail account. Is this possible?
I also have some other issues I have listed below:
If set to automatic the weather widget always shows I am in Lyonsdown (unless I set it to manual and London - then it shows my local weather for London). But I want it to work out where I am wirelessly so when I move around I get the current weather where I am and not for Lyonsdown all the time.
Facebook errors all the time saying my password is wrong yet it still seems to sync OK with facebook. I have removed facebook for now as I am fed up with it asking me to continuously enter a correct password.
If I log into motoblur to locate my phone it never works and it also shows the wrong phone number for my phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello,
I am a new user of Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 (first time Android user) and I have issues with the contacts how it is at present and wanted your help to get those resolved.
Note:
I have Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Skype, Exchange account, WhatsApp are synced in the device, but I have disabled Contact Sync for all of these. So now if I go to Contacts screen I can see only Device Contacts which is GOOD .
Issue 1: Search
When I search for contact in the contacts screen the search result includes contacts from Gmail, WhatsApp etc as well along with the device contacts. How can we get rid of these?
From where contact search pull these Gmail contacts even if those are not available inside contacts screen? Same happen when I search for contacts from Compose message screen.
Issue 2: Call Log
The Call Log by default include all Call Log and Message Log. We do have a View Filter where we can set ALL Calls Only and this is a temporary fix for the view to show only Call Log. Next time I open Log I see both of them. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.
It's coz you must have previously synced your contatcs with Gmail / fb. Try deleting them all and adding them again from the backup. Also check the truecaller settings if any.

Thanks river-mystique, Yes when I setup the device with the Gmail ID it did auto synced contacts and later I disabled the Sync. So how can I remove all contacts and restore from backup? Or I need to factory Reset and Sync with Samsung Account? Also no True Caller.
Another question: If I factory reset and Sync with Samsung account (Where I have my contacts and SMS synced) and setup Gmail Again, will the device try to sync Gmail Contact again, as during device setup with Gmail there is no Option to disable Sync types. I think it is only available after the device is configured.
Thanks.
Not sure if this is a lollipop issue, or if I just did not notice it in kit-kat, but, I went to create a contact on my phone the other day, and I always save them to my google account. When I saved the contact, It did not show up on the google web site as I expected it to. So I started to trouble shoot, and found the contact was saved to my phone. OK I did a factory reset on my phone shortly after the OTA upgrade, at which point i forgot to set my google account as the default to save contacts. Upon going to the contacts settings, under accounts, there is no google option. If i hit add I get Facebook, Exchange, or LDAP, no google option. If I got to the phone settings, goto accounts, google, and click my google account, there is no option to Synd Contacts, just sync people data??? Also if I go to my contacts app, create a new contact and change were it saves to, I only have Phone and Exchange Active Sync as options. What happen to saving to Google, am i missing something?? Anythoughts ??
