Running ROM: ARHD 12.0
My Google contact pictures spontaneously disappear. This usually happens whenever I don't have a live internet connect. I tried getting around it by deleting/re-syncing my account and seemed to work. I even turned-off sync in an attempt to preserve the current state of my contact information, but when I placed a call a few hours ago, I noticed my contact pictures had also gone missing again.
Has anyone else had these issues and, if so, what work-around have you discovered to prevent these pictures disappearing? Thanks! This is driving me crazy.
A few weeks ago I noticed my battery wouldn't last more than 6 hours. After a lot of troubleshooting, I found that gmail was the cause because it wouldn't stop syncing. Confirmed of course after deleting gmail for a couple of days.
But I really would like to keep the account on my phone. I set up that account again and for a few days it seemed fine, but my phone is constantly warm to the touch again and the battery just died... this time it hadn't even been 6 hours.
Has anyone else experienced this recently?
I'm on a lumia 1020 with black update.

What are your sync settings for your Gmail account? Since WP8, we couldn't set Gmail to sync "As Items Arrive", or push status. Could set as often as 15 minute only. Are there large files and/or attachments coming through?

I know, and I have it set to 15 minutes. I get a few photos every now and then but nothing out of the ordinary that should cause this. And as far as volume goes.... maybe 50 emails a day including the typical spam/promos that don't get filtered properly.

That's strange, on my ATIV S i don't occur that kind of problem, but i am not having my data turned on all the time. I turn it on just when i need to check something on internet or where there is no wi-fi spot around. And in email and accounts for Gmail i have the options "As They Arrived" to "Manualy", and ofcorse i chose "Manualy", I think we have to address this issue at Microsoft and Gmail together.
Push it to 30min for a day or two. See if that helps.
Didnt' make any changes. But it stopped doing it. So not gonnna keep digging, it was a hassle in the first place trying to figure out the cause over a couple of weeks. All I can say was deleting the account and adding it helped the first time. the 2nd time not sure. Oh well.
Android Wear App keeps crashing With the usual Unfortunately. ..message. Any ideas why?

This happened to me too repeatedly and out of the blue last night and continued on until the early afternoon... Now it seems to have fixed itself... Try uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting the phone
Clear app cache and app data, force close it and then re launch it. If that doesn't work uninstall it then reinstall.
what kind of phone are you using? custom rom/kernel, etc?
mine has been super stable since i installed it (one time it didn't want to connect to the phone but it has never crashed)

Do you happen to have a MS Exchange account logged onto your phone? If so, and I bet you do, that is what causes the issue. Something happens on the MS exchange server once per week (for me it's every Fri morning) that causes the Wear app to crash constantly. To test this, go into your accounts and remove your MS Exchange Activesync account and poof your wear app will function normally again. Otherwise just wait until the late morning and whatever happens will finish and wear will work normally again (with exchange logged in) until the same time next week ?
FYI, no amount of clearing cache or data or uninstalling will remedy this until either the exchange process is complete or you remove the exchange account temporarily.

Thank you this fixed it! Do we know what causes this? I would love to keep my exchange email.

I have no idea what causes this and I'm not the one who figured it out. There was one guy who figured this out. Since noticing this and confirming it I've emailed google and called them, etc, but they haven't returned NY emails yet. It will eventually go away usually the same day. You just have to put up with it for a few hours each week if you want to continue using your exchange on the phone. Then after the few hrs it ends up working fine again. That's what I do
Same problem and completely unacceptable...I require my exchange account every day for work, can't remove it and redo it once a week.
Until google resolves this it kills android wear devices for me.
Appointment
I had a recurring appointment coming up this morning at 9h, deleted the appointment, did an exchange sync and everything is working now.... I had deleted the yesterday occurrence of this appointment a few week back, maybe it don't handle this correctly.
Did any of you had any recurring appointment set on the day that the app started crashing?

I don't have any such exchange services, but still seem to be facing this same issue. Log reads something about a ExchangeSecurity issue... . I just got my G watch today.. haven't even been able to get passed the second screen.
Edit: was in fact my ROM, clean flashed a PA build... Worked like a charm.
I require exchange too, use "Touchdown" have had no issues.
This just started happening last week, I thought I got something out of whack on my device. I switched to a new device and the same problem cropped up, then I found this thread. I was able to workaround it for now by removing my account, then re-adding it but leaving off calendar sync. My guess is that I have some calendar event has a weirdly formatted contact which causes this problem.
I've had my Note 5 since launch and I love it, great device, and it hasn't given me any guff at all until this just started happening about a week ago.
My phone keeps overwriting my contact's pictures, and deleting my favorites in the phone app.... If I reset everything the way I like it within 2 hours my favorites are gone again and the contact's picture is removed.
I haven't made any changes to anything. My contacts are synced from an Exchange server account. Been running BPE5 sideloaded since it was available, no problem. I decided to revert and do the OTA to BPE6 to see if that fixed my problem, but the problem persists.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
Hi.
I had the same problem on ROG 2 and now I have it on ROG 3: Gmail stops syncing every 1-3 days. No updating app, no sync changes (by me), even no phone restarting. Just stops. I'm opening Gmail app, see notification sync/hide, pressing on Sync and it working for another 1-3 days.
Any explanation? Any solution?
