Hello all,
Long time I suffer from message "sync is currently experiencing problems" on my phone. I tried many solutions and none of them fix the problem so I decided to upgrade my phone version to 7.1.1 from 6.0.1, I removed Google account and installed it again, updated Google app from Google Play.
Now I don't see the that message and also don't see an option to sync Google contacts, save new contact in my account.
Any solutions? Maybe Android version has a bug?
B.T.W I also don't have the Google photos sync
Kind regards,
Solution:
back up the phone, wipe, restore -> problem solved

Hi there,
yesterday i´ve flashed the new .368 rom on my german arc. I´ve done this with full wipe.
After setup i´ve checked the syncs and there must be a problem with the Picasa Web Album part. The sync is not working anymore.
I can deselect and reselect the option, for a short time sync starts and ends with an error...but to short to read it.
On my x10 with same settings sync runs fine - so i think using a @googlemail.com account is not the problem...
What can i do? I´ve done another wipe and setup but the problem is still there.
Is this a general bug?
I have had the same issue since I updated my Arc as well. Wondered whether you now needed to have the Picasa Web album app on the phone as well?
Has anybody managed to solve this problem?
I have updated my Arc to 2.3.4 in since then Picasa Web Sync does not work. There is no error message, just nothing happens and the sync icon persists. I have for now unchecked this option, but would like to use it
Picasa Sync
I have the same problem with my Arc. I managed to read the error message that flashes up for milliseconds by repeatedly switching sync on & off. It says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Not much help & it doesn't come back! I installed Picasa Downloader instead.
Same issue here on 2.3.4 - 4.0.2.A.0.42. have logged with sony, who say they are not aware of the issue, but will investigate.
Dont have the issue on my Samsung 10.1 Android device (same accout and settings). Only a Sony Ericsson issue?
Have the same problem here.
Originally, my phone was syncing all day, and it totally killed the battery in 4 hours! I cleared the cache and now Picasa fails to sync (but at least the battery isn't getting fried by constant failure to sync and a really tight retry loop)
So I searched the forums for any solution to this problem but to no avail. I have a tf300t that is unlocked, rooted and updated to 4.2.1. Up until recently everything was fine until I realised that my google calendar no longer syncs. Neither does the default asus calendar. I have tried many things but nothing has worked. I've tried uninstalling calendar, removing google account, readding but nothing has worked. I think the problem started when I tried to use ASUS sync with it on my laptop (the calendar and contacts was greyed out on the asus pc sync software). Any suggestions as to how to correct this? I really would like my calendar to be working again. Now I'm considering just doing a clean install again to get this thing to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When you go to Settings, select Google under Accounts, and select your Google account, is there a check mark next to Calendar? If so, is there some kind of error message? It's possible that when you set up the ASUS sync software, it just set your sync settings to no longer sync your calendar and contacts with Google since it assumes you'll be doing that with the ASUS software instead.
Otherwise, if there's an error, it could be conflicting with the ASUS software in some way. In that case, you could try clearing the data from, and disabling, the ASUS apps, clear data from Google Calendar and People, and resync. I know that when I used MIUI on my Evo 4G, if you used the built-in MIUI Backup app to restore contact info, it conflicted with Google's contact sync. That could be happening here, too.
Putting the ILLA in KILLA since 1985
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.
Anyone has any issue with Google Contact Sync? It says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
Several methods I've tried before:
1. Delete the Google account and add again
2. Clear data from "Contacts Storage"
3. Enable all google related services that I have disabled before (Google Newstand, Google Book and etc)
It seems that I can only download the contacts the first time I add the account, but any edit I make on the phone won't sync back to Google.
Can't find any other new method from Google result...

Go to contacts (not with phone but contact app) go to settings then account and see if Google is there
Yes it is there, along with other stuff like Whatsapp, Samsung, Facebook etc. I have tried removing Google, re-add again, and then tweak one contact on my phone, and then go back to the setting > account > google to check, and there it is, "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" on the Contact part..
I was wondering if you got anywhere on this when you had the issue? I am having a similar problem.
Hey there... I had a Samsung Galaxy S3... so I decided to buy the S4 at a very reasonable price. It came to me yesterday.
So excited...!
When I started configuring the device, my nightmare began.
Preliminaries:
- Firmware was upgraded to 4.3 and no other updates are available.
- I don't want to root my phone (not yet).
Problem:
I can't login to my google account: I keep getting the message:
Sync Error.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
Specifically I can't sync Contacts and Gmail and Picasa (couldn't care less about this one).
What I have done so far not exactly by this order:
- Cleared cache of Contacts and Contacts storage;
- Went to my Gmail via web and exported and deleted all contacts;
- Factory reset;
- Tried the Samsung Contacts Fix;
- Deleted and added the Google account (like 223 times);
- Removed all application passwords from Google verification;
- Downgraded all Google applications and Google services;
- Checked out time and date on the device;
- Went through the Google troubleshooting process.
To no avail.Sometimes I get the ok for the Google contacts but no contacts show up.
Now I can't go anywhere from here... No contacts, Not able to use Google Play...
What a complete turn-off...
Any genius out there with a solution to my case?
Thanks a bunch!

SOLVED: All you have to do is to turn off 2-step verification on your google acccount, remove it from your phone and voilà. :laugh:
