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] Gmail stopt updating

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?

[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.

Help my fix 'Contacts' please

Hi. I have a rooted Captivate with Froyo and a few weeks ago, my Contacts (the app) started acting up.
At first, my contacts (all Google contacts) would disappear and reappear randomly. Now my contacts are all gone, except for a few 'Unknown' ones which are recent callers. What's worse, now Contacts won't open most of the times and when it does, it makes the phone really slow or it force closes.
I don't recall (un)installing or modifying anything and I REALLY don't want to reset my phone.
At the time I was using GoDialer from the market but uninstalling it didn't change anything. Maybe it broke something. Is there a way to reinstall the Contacts app or files?
Anyway, I appreciate any help.

If you saved all your contacts under your gmail account you should be able to get them all back as long as you choose the "sync contacts" under account settings for gmail.

log into gmail, confirm that all of your contacts are there, and try clearing the data for the Contacts application. Then resync and hopefully you are all set. Maybe do a titanium backup of your contact data first, too, just to be 100% sure you don't delete anything.

Facebook account in system settings.

So, not sure what I did, but my Facebook account has disappeared from my list of accounts on my phone. When I go to add a new account, the Motorola Facebook icon is already checked. If I select it, it says I can only have one Facebook account. So, it both does and doesn't think i have a Facebook account. The icon in the list from the Facebook app does nothing, which i think is normal behavior. I do not get profile pics from Facebook in my contacts, so it is not syncing.
Truth be told, this is only an annoyance. I do not want to reset to factory (I have way too many apps to reinstall, which would be more annoying than this problem). But, if anyone can think of how I could manually convince the system to let me re-add the account, any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi, I have exactly the same problem, so I will aslo grateful for help in this matter

I had the same problem, and I did a trick with SQlite Editor
Install it then,
In SQLite Editor you select: Accounts Storage -> serviceaccounts.db -> accounts -> then you delete the line which have "Facebook" in the column "account_pretty_name"
After a reboot I was able to re-enter a Facebook account in the blur app.
And now it works perfectly

This is an older thread, but I'm having the same problem on my new RAZR MAXX (Verizon, unrooted, stock 2.3.6). I have 2 facebook icons under "My Accounts", one that allows me to put my log in info in and nothing else, the second that does nothing when I click it. I am not able to get my calendar or my contacts to sync with facebook and I'm at a loss.
What I've tried so far:
Rebooting
Deleting the FB account info and re-entering it within the My Accounts settings.
Uninstalling FB app (the unresponsive FB icon goes away in My Accounts), reinstalling and rebooting.
When that didn't work I ended up calling the new Google help and the person I talked too ran me through the steps I had already taken and suggested I contact FB as it appears that the issue is with the app. I am pulling the app straight from Google Play, but it would make sense as that is the culprit since it's not syncing with Calender or Contacts.
