[Q] Gmail stopt updating - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem that i wrote about in googles forum and got an answer that not worked for me, so i try here...
After i updated to Android 2,2 my Gmail and my twitter has stop syncing as it should.
My Gmail syncs for a while but then stops, and when i go to the gmail app and press refresh then the new mail comes up. For getting it works for a couple of days i have to go to settings, applications, manage applications and gmail, and there i have to clear data and cache. Then it works for a couple of days then stops again.
The answer i got is:
You can try the following for the gmail issue:
"So, to get my "connection" back:
1) Go into the settings menu for the phone
2) Choose applications
3) Choose Manage Applications
4) Under Manage Applications set the Filter to ALL. Not sure why this isn't the default but c'est la vie.
5) Scroll down and choose GMail Storage
6) Tap the botton for Clear Data
7) Head on over into GMail and VOILA!"
The problem for me is that i not have a GMail Storage..
Anyone else got the same problem?
Any solutions?

Gmail Sync Problem?

Hey I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this. When I check my gmail on my phone and if I delete it on my phone and then go check gmail on my computer later (more than an hour), the email I deleted on my phone remains undeleted and unread when I check it on my computer. Does anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it? It used to sync fine when I delete or read something on my phone, it mirrors it on my actual gmail account.
go into settings-applications-manage applications hit menu select filter hit all and clear data/cache from gmail and gmail storage

[Q] Facebook contact pictures won't update (non root)

First I'll say that the only reason I have not rooted is that my parents are against it so that I get flamed about not being rooted.
My problem is that about half of my contacts that are synced with Facebook will not update that contacts picture when they change their profile picture on Facebook while the other half of my contacts will update. This is very annoying and I have not found a way to get around this. Even manually going under settings to "Accounts and Sync" and telling it to update immediately does not remedy this. I would very much like to know how to fix this and any help would be appreciated.
I have the same exact problem. Except, I'm rooted. I searched around and the only (half) solution that I found was to edit the contact's picture. After you select facebook it'll reset the picture. It works sometimes, and at the other times it doesn't. I'm still looking for away to do this without having to edit contacts. I also notice that some non-facebook contact's pics won't show in the stock messages or a 3rd party messaging app.
I occasionally notice this issue too -- I think it's just a random problem with the sync sometimes, I don't know that there's a perfect fix or a guaranteed way to make it auto-update every single contact's picture after every change. But I set my Facebook sync time to 'Every 4 hours' and I seem to get pretty good sync/update results with that.
Try going and Clearing Data and Clearing Cache from a few places in your Manage Apps menu...this is kinda like 'starting over' with your contacts (make sure they are all synced/backed up to Google first).
First go into Settings-->Accounts and sync and uncheck/turn off anything that says Google or Facebook.
Then go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications.
After that menu loads up (can take a minute or so), scroll down and open Contacts Storage, then Delete cache and Delete data. Also go find anything about Facebook (Facebook for Android, Facebook for HTC Sense) and do the same Delete cache and Delete data for those too. Do the same for People (if you have it in the list).
Then exit out of there and go back into your Accounts & sync options. All your contacts will be deleted. Turn back on all the Google and Facebook syncs and everything will start re-syncing. The pictures should all be updated. Sorry for the really long response....I just got to typing and figured I'd include all this.

Problems with Google Calendars?

Tonight my Google calendar events in every calendar bar the default calendar stopped appearing in the phone. I can still see them in Google calendar via the web browser but they no longer appear in the calendar app. I've checked all the settings within calendar and the various Google calendars still appear there and are ticked to sync and show in the app but events from other calendars do not. Any ideas?
I had the same problem before. I fixed it by following the instructions from the quote below. This is from the google mobile help forum posted by BSteck. You should backup your default (on the phone) calendar before doing this.
Don't know if this is the best way to solve the problem, but this has worked for me.
On my HTC Phone (running Android 2.2), I went to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Calendar Storage. I then pushed "Clear Data" and then "Force Stop" (because I wanted it to reload).
The phone paused for a brief moment when returning to Home and then the calendar was syncing to my gmail calendars. I figure that as long as all your information is backed up at gcal, you should be fine. Good luck!

Thanks. That worked.
No problem =]
Dunno why this happens but at least this fixes the issue. Annoying when you don't have calendars showing up.

Local "Gmail Storage" app?

I ran into a gmail sync issue. Went to fix it but I didn't see "Gmail Storage" application in the Application list under All.
Is it hidden or renamed?
I "fixed" the problem with a factory reset but if/when it happens again I'd prefer not to reconfigure and lose game and app settings.
Thank you for any insights.
go into the app management, go to gmail, tap "Clear Data"
I did try that before flushing to factory, just left me with a wait to sync screen in Gmail. I did give that 30 minutes.
I know on my old Motorola Droid one when this happened I'd go to application management and stop Gmail and clear it then clear the Gmail Storage app. After that it would sync up happily.

[Q] "Contacts" is not registering "GOOGLE Accounts"

Hello, hope all is good
I just flashed "Ultimate N7000 LT4 JB 4.1.2 v6" on my n7000, everything seems fine except my contacts are not showing!
While trying to fix the issue, I noticed that the "Contacts app" is not registering the "GOOGLE Accounts" - Any help??
What i tried:
01. [Settings>Accounts>Google>[email protected]>] Checked if my contacts are set to sync, they were. (unchecked, synced, then checked again...)
02. [Settings>Accounts>Google>[email protected]>] Remove my Google account then adding it again. Even tried adding a different account.
03. Removing my Google account, then adding it through [Contacts>Accounts>Add Account] and here is when i noticed, accounts are NOT getting registered in the Contacts app.
04. Tried another contacts manager (Contacts+), same issue. I went back to [Contacts>Accounts>Add Account] and here i noticed ONLY GOOGLE accounts are not registering in contacts - the Contacts+, Facebook, whatsapp accounts got registered and their contacts show!
05. I even tried reflashing the ROM with another GAPPS verion, it didn't solve the problem.
06. I flashed the Older ROM "Ultimate_N7000_LSZ_JB_4.1.2_v5.2" it has the same probelm
07. Flashed the even older ROM "Ultimate_N7000_LSZ_JB_4.1.2_v5.1" it doesn't have that problem!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mate such problems are common with ROMs under development, PM the ROM developer about this issue and he will iron out the flaw in the update...this is very common with ROMs in their development phase. Hit thanks if i helped
if you are not running a firewall app then try deleting cache and dalvik from recovery on safe kernel.
or via setting>apps, last tab clear data/cache from contacts, Google framework etc.
or update gmail app and see if it is fixed.
just guessing here.
you didnt reinstall any backups btw?
another thing you can check is logcat, clear logs, try sync and then check log for errors.
Google account not showing in Contacts
Did this ever get solved? I have the same problem on a new Cubot GT72. They appear to have succeeded in cramming 4.2.2 into the small memory of this phone, everything works fine, except that in contacts, my google account is simply not showing. When I go to Accounts in the stock Contacts app, all I get is a Sync menu -- I cannot select the account, like I can on my other Android devices.
Likewise under Settings / Accounts / <my google account> / Sync, I cannot select Touch to sync Contacts (there is only App Dataz (which does not sync the contacts, I tested), Gmail (I installed it hoping it would help) and People Details (which are not contacts either).
