Gmail and activesync not working - Motorola Droid Bionic

Anybody else having problems in which their gmail account doesn't sync their email unless they manually refresh? I don't see a setting that may have got this set to Fetch verses Pull, and i don't think that is possible to change with gmail. I am rooted. And am depending on wiping to see what happens. But i figured i would see if anyone else was experiencing this.

Did eventually get this working. First tried unrooting. That was a no go. Then just Wiped the device to start from scratch and that seems to have worked.

"Sync is currently experiencing problems."

I was trying to refresh my facebook widget and it said to log in. I tried and it said "Facebook account is already added in account manager." So I went to contacts>menu>more>Accounts and turned sync Contacts off and back on for my facebook accout and got "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I think this may be an AT&T issue, just wanted to ask if anyone else is having this problem.
I am stock. Everything up to date.
I'm having the same problem with Facebook and Twitter. I can't login to either of them and it's really annoying. I don't know what to do.
I think it is at&t. Could be getting ready for an update? I dont think so, but never know.

i am facing this issue for past one month when i try to sync my facebook contacts using social hub. The thing its only problem with one of my account. My other account is sying properly. I tried every known setting but still no success. i can find any option in facebook that enables or disable this thing. Any help please
Was having some issues with Facebook today. Not on At&t here.
This is a FB server issue, not the phone or AT$T. It happened about a month ago and took several days to clear up.
Miami is correct Facebook has had several issues in the past few months. The other thing that i have noticed that can cause this is if you suddenly lose service or try to switch from 3g to wifi.

I ran into a similar problem when I tried to disable Facebook, Twitter and Flicker on my IncS. It appears to happen when the database on the phone gets into a "bad" state and then it can't manage to sync--but will keep trying (and my phone did so constantly, draining the battery extremely quickly).
The fix in my case was to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Contacts Storage and then hitting the "Clear Data" button.
Be sure to have a backup of your contacts on the phone e.g. with Titanium Backup.

AAB Initializing?

Went to open contacts just now, and got the error AAB Initializing... Anyone know what that is?
Did you delete the AT&T phonebook apk?

AAB stands for AT&T Address Book. I had that issue also when I disabled the sync for it in my accounts in settings. I don't use it, so I figured turning off the sync might save some battery. But, after that I could not open the contacts, just AAB initializing. Even after I turned it back on it wouldn't work. I had to reflash the ROM to fix mine. Factory reset in the privacy option is your last ditch option to fix it if all else fails.

I didn't delete the AttContacts apk, but it seemed to resolve itself...I rebooted once, and it continued to do it, then magically stopped. Weird.
I was an idiot and deleted the AT&T Contacts App without backing it up. Even a factory reset won't bring it back. There was a thread floating around here before about other people that did that and we tried a whole bunch of ways to get the .apk file for it on there, but it just wouldn't work. Ended up saying f it and decided we just had to wait for AT&T to give us the Gingerbread update to get it back.
Or you could just flash any rom.

I was one of those people as well. Like was said, you can flash any rom or you can flash back to stock. Instructions are in the development sub-forum.

I have the same problem periodically, with the same solution. I assume it must be a bug in the AAB code.
When I got that toast... I just kept reopening the contacts until it went away...

Google Talk won't stay signed in

Google talk will not stay signed in, or is randomly disconnecting and reconnecting later. I've checked my sync and power settings it shouldn't be an idle issue or data connection problem because i have full signal. I didn't have this issue with the Aria?
anyone else having this?
So am I the only one? Did I get a defective device?

is it giving you any kind of error message? I had that problem ALL THE TIME with my blackberry torch. It kept logging me out saying internal error. That's honestly one of the reasons i got the android. So google apps would work right. I've not had any issues with my google talk. Have you tried logging in with another account just to see if it makes any difference?

no error at all, i lauch the app and it either greys out and i have to back out and lauch again to get the signing in message or i get the signing in message.
I never had these issues with my Aria, i wondered if this version (with the camera/voice options) might have a bug?
tried multiple accts same issue.
i called HTC and the guy said hit home screen instead of backing out of the app to force it to keep running but that did no good. he also asked if i had a task manager and I said only the htc one that came with the phone. He said android comes with that now???? anyway i told the htc one to not start on startup just to see if that was causing any issues but no change.
i still randomly get disconnected from gtalk.
I don't know what to suggest then, that's strange Until we get root it'd be kind of hard to "mess up" an app like that. So I have no idea why it won't stay connected. Maybe take it into an AT&T store, show them, and ask for a new one? IDK if that'd work or not...
Do you have juicedefender? Cus it will disconnect it when u lock ur device

no, i don't use that.
in fact, i went through all (i could find) htc/android setting making sure it wasn't a power setting turning off my data or something crazy like that.
Been having the same issue on my inspire for months. Annoying as hell. Tried clearing data and everything else. Just have to live with it.

I have had the same issue since day one.
Google Talk won't stay signed in except on wi-fi
I have a Galaxy S II w/ ICS 4.0.3 on T-mobile and have the same issues. I have done a master reset and have the issue still. I have 3 accounts on G Talk and all sign out when using network only but will stay signed in on wi-fi. It's annoying. I have also tried unchecking the "Away when screen off" box and still no luck.
I've moved on from the Aria, the Vivid and the S3 has not had this issue with me.

Youtube and google play store issues on wifi

Many times I open google play and it says no connection retry, I just keep hitting retry and it usually works. On youtube however the same issue arises and I press retry and it does nothing, it says there's still no connection. I believe this is a wifi issue as I switched on my 4g and the video loaded just fine. Also sometimes on my PC I get some error that google doesn't have a valid certificate so I don't know if that's part of the problem as well. How can I fix it? Are there some router settings I should change?
Exact same problem here. For me it happens on wifi and normal data. .

I have the same issue and cant find a solution or at least the reason for it
I had the same problem and I think upon reading something in here, I deactivated the Autosync feature and couldn't replicate the problem. However, that was the source of another problem detected afterwards, as it would not push notifications to weather/mail/Blinkfeed. I would've thought having AutoSync on syncs everything under accounts by the default settings and having it off, you could manually set the sync for accounts separately and they would still work, but I haven't been able to set things up so as to avoid both issues. It's probably fixable by these means, though.

Delayed or no push notifications at all when phone is sleeping

So I searched and was not able to find anyone complaining on not receiving push notifications (whatsapp msgs, Gmail, Facebook messages etc) when the screen has been off for 10 minutes or more either on wifi or mobile data.
It has been happening to me since day one and it is surely not a Smartsync issue like we had on the HOX as it also happens during the morning.
So to explain better, if my phone's screen has been off for about we 10 minutes or longer then no push notifications come. Instead they are all flooding in as soon as i turn the screen on again.
Of course i have the power saver turned off, wifi sleep policy to never turn off, automatic sync on etc.
Please note that this happens both on wifi and mobile data. In fact the situation on mobile data i believe is even worse.
Anyhow below is a nice thread about the exact same problem.

Does it happen to anyone else owning the One?
Please share your thoughts.

Do you have "Sleep mode" enabled in the Power settings menu?

Hmm, have you tried going to the "Accounts & sync" section and then checking each account individually
to make sure that sync is enabled for each one. Even though Auto sync is on, some accounts may need to be enabled manually.
I find i have to do this after restoring from a Titanium backup otherwise nothing syncs. Just make sure the sync icon is highlighted for all of them...

What about "Power Saver"? There are four separate things Power Saver does (and you can choose which are actually activated) - one of them is to turn off the data connection when the screen is off. (This is a separate setting from "sleep mode").

Well i do have this problem. I have all the settings correct but mails and whatsapp wont sync at times for an hour or so. Sometimes it works well and sometimes it does not. ive tried using different roms but its the same.
If your phone is rooted try wiping data for "Google Services Framework" and Play Store, wipe cache and dalvik cache, remove your accounts, reboot, re-add your accounts and wait for it to sync.
Let us know the results.

This. I had this problem before too and tried a bunch of stuff and it went away. The problem is i dont know what fixed it, but it was one of these things in the post. Also try deleting all your saved wifi networks, and connecting to them again.
This solution will come with consequences tho. Google Services Framework (GSF) is responsible, besides other things, for C2DM which basically is "push notifications".
Most of Google apps as well as other apps receiving notifications rely on C2DM. Reseting the data for GSF will most probably solve the issue but bear in mind that you also might need to clear data for apps relying on GSF. That means setting up apps like Whatsapp, Viber, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter etc. from scratch.

Ι've started having problems with push notifications since a couple of days.
I'm not sure what's going on but it's frustrating.
I've googled around and I've seen various problems, especially in the Nexus 4 and some older HTC phones. It seems to be more of an Android problem than a model specific. Various solutions are proposed but with no apparent success (except using an app that wakes the wifi, but needs rooting).
I'm full stock with nothing fancy.
Situation:
Wi-Fi on - No Power Saver, WiFi Always On, No Sleep Data etc
After about 10 minutes give or take with the screen off Whatsapp, Hangouts, Facebook messages etc come with a big delay.
Only Viber seems to work perfectly. I've tried various times and each time the messages I sent to myself from other phones or the PC came with a delay of about 5'-10' with the exception of Viber.
I still haven't tested this with other wifi networks.
I'm almost sure that this delay is relatively new. If the phone "wakes", then the messages are instantly delivered.
3G on
Although I haven't tested it that much, it seems that everything works fine when using Data connection.
Any ideas? Are there any other options on the phone that I should try toggling?
Ι believe that WA, FB and Hangouts were updated these last days or am I wrong?
I am able to get push notifications using Exchange Activesync with a Google Apps gmail account, through the HTC One stock email program.
However, setting up my personal gmail account in the gmail app, I get no push notifications whatsoever, I have to manually check the app to receive my emails, which is pointless...
I have checked all my settings and I can't see anything amiss, this hasnt worked since purchase, but its beginning to really grind on me, as I need to know if I have an email...
Could anyone assist?
LG 70 works now...
