my gmail worked fine until this morning when i plugged it into my pc using active sync, one thing i noticed at the time is that active sync didn't do anything, i didn't think anything of it because i was only on to charge my phone really quick, it's the fist time i've had my phone plugged into my pc in about 2 weeks, it worked fine before, but now active synt doesn't do anything every since this morning now my gmail doesn't send/receive, i looked at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357829&highlight=gmail+error and i get similar errors, "error syncronizing" and the pop up bubble that says cannot connect, and gives you the settings or dismiss options. i can't see were i can turn off active sync on the phone either, i'm using vista home and a tilt, any ideas on what this could be?
Not sure about Active Sync, but double check your gmail settings to be sure you didn't revert back to the standard ports.

I've been using BlackBerry Connect on my Tilt for a few weeks, and it's worked well. Then yesterday night, the Tilt suddently stopped being able to boot past the Windows Mobile screen. I did a hard reset and restored a backup, and reinstalled BlackBerry Connect. Everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT:
Every time I receive a message when the phone is powered off, it turns on. I don't get a message, and notifications aren't set to do anything when I get a new email. It doesn't even go to Messaging if it's not there already. It just turns on. And I'm going bonkers trying to figure out how to fix it--in part because I'm not sure if this is a BB Connect problem or a Messaging one or what.
Any suggestions? I see another message from someone reporting something similar, but saying it's the new Tilt ROM--and I haven't updated my ROM, so that's not the case here. But I *did* redownload the BB Connect application, so perhaps the new version is flaky?
Not sure when it started.. but for sometime now if i connect my phone active sync starts and looks like its going to sync my contacts.. and even after minutes and i mean more than 5 or 10 it still on the screen where its just thinking with the green icon spinning. Nothing ever happens, i lost my 300+ contacts during one of these attempts and dont ask how, but someone how it finally connected and i got them all back.. so im not looking to lose them again, since i cannt get it to sync..
Either way.. i have 2 issues..
#1 connecting the phone no longer syncs my contacts..
#2 when disconnecting the phone it will cause my pc to crash.. im sure this has something to do with maybe the USB driver.. but has anyone seen any of these issues and if so what suggestions do you have that i can try..
i have tried a few things to try and resolve my sync issue, but since i lost the 300 contacts and took me 3 days to get them back on the phone, im not looking to delete my partnership again so that i can lose them and run the risk of not getting them back on there..
After about 2hours of using my phone on wifi the exchange sync (built in mail application) doesn't sync anymore (internet itself keeps working). If I then disable en enable wifi, it works again.
I connect to exchange via https (outlook anywhere). Same goes for calendar.
btw, my GMAIL keeps working with no problem. It's just exchange that stops syncing
have you tried restarting the phone?
might be a service that got stuck
yep, doesn't fix it.
I'm gonna test TouchDown to see if it shows the same behaviour
Are you accessing Exchange via "Email for Exchange" or "Corporate"?
what do you mean?
I've made an account on my phone that connects to the 'webmail' of the exchange. Official name is Outlook Anywhere.
noob with similar issue
I'm a relative newbie to this forum so unsure of posting protocol, apologies in advance.
But whatever. I have the att version of the galaxy--the captivate--and have had a hard time getting exchange to work reliably. I've several times deleted and re-created my exchange account, and it will sync initially, and sometimes once or twice thereafter. But then, it ceases working competely, simply saying it has a "connection error".
This happens whether I'm on my company's wi-fi, home wi-fi, or just over the air 3G. the only fix is to recreate the account, and that's a pain.
I had an old winmo HTC fuze for a couple years, and it worked fine with this exchange server--I don't think I ever had to recreate the account, and it was thoroughly reliable. I also borrowed an old G1 for a couple weeks, used Roadsync, and it worked fine too.
I read in another forum that advanced task killer was the culprit, so I deinstalled it. No change. I also read that turning the synchronization on & off from the power widget was worth trying. Also no change.
Any other ideas? I too will try a 3rd party client before returning the phone. I mostly like the phone otherwise, though the GPS problem is annoying.
Appreciate any help.
Tried it with Touchdown: same issue. It tells me: No available network. However website continue to work...
When I click some links/visit some sites, it starts working again...

it sounds like the Wireless or 3G goes into sleep mode when you are not using it.
I have a similar problem, my calendar is able to sync but contacts unable to sync with exchange server.
I've never had any problems syncing my Calendar and Address Book with my HTC Vivid. Now, all of a sudden, my desk top will no longer recognize that the phone is connected via USB; even though I can see that it is charging, so it must have a connection.
The only change was an HTC security update to the phone a couple of weeks ago.
Any thoughts on how to get this thing to Sync again? TIA!

in settings hit "pc connection" or something like that and make sure usb charging isnt default
Check that you have your mobile drivers on your PC! If you have drivers delete them and reinstall! Then try to shove in your usb to another port! If it isn't work get another usb and try to sync!
The devices pair ok but then the phone acts like nothing is happening when I try to sync contacts from the car or home phone or BlueAnt headset. They all see the Nexus 6 and start to sync but they end with 0 contacts and the Nexus never shows a popup about it being ok to sync or anything I’ve seen with my other Android phones.
Is there a new setting to allow other Bluetooth devices to start a contact sync?

I've been trying to transfer files from my Nexus to my laptop unsuccessfully............. Everything says paired and ready, but always fails. Let us know what you figure out!
I think the biggest issue is that the Nexus 6 gives you no feedback that anything is happening. I guess they figure it’s cool and you should know you’re trying to sync stuff but that's silly and it should have something on the phone to let you know something is syncing and any info the phone can supply about what it’s doing or why it failed. Anyway…
Nothing worked until I set the house phone into manual sync mode and then went into contacts and used the send function with Bluetooth while a single contact was open. I messed with that for a bit but that is no way to sync all the contacts that I needed to. At least knew the two were talking, no thanks to Google.
Randomly out of nowhere and after turning Bluetooth on and off and deleting the phonebook on the house phone and so on it synced the first 7 contacts and then it would stop. It stopped on the 7th one every time. This was also after I had read that having the Bluetooth settings open on the Nexus 6 puts into a mode that lets other Bluetooth devices see it. I know it’s just for pairing but I was doing that at the time it first sort of worked. I had changed nothing but now I was getting the first 7 every time when I had been getting zero each time. ???
I don’t know why it stopped on the 7th contact every time but had read that others had seen this and reset their phone and reloaded their contacts and everything thinking the contacts list on the phone was corrupted and maybe it is in some way but I went a different way.
Some others had talked about having an Exchange account and Gmail account on the phone and how to sync the contacts that you want. Again, this would be so much better if it asked you what you wanted to sync. So, you go into contacts and top right there is the 3 dots to settings thing and then you can select the “Contacts to display”. Now this like many other things is counter intuitive and it gives you no heads up about it. I had seen this setting before and had it set to display only my Gmail accounts contacts. For whatever reason, none of my Bluetooth devices liked this. I had set the custom option and even if you select one of other accounts it still has the custom groups selected inside the custom option. I found this after changing from custom back to the Gmail account having it still sync the custom groups.
So went online into my Gmail contacts and created a sync group for the car and one for the house with just the contacts that I felt I’d ever call from the car or house. Then selected only that custom group in the Nexus 6 contacts “Contacts to display” custom setting and it synced all of them. Not tried the car yet though.
Good luck.
