[Q] Google Photos not syncing - Moto X Q&A

I'm out of ideas on this. Google photos sync on my S4 and my Nexus 7 (old and new) but I can't seem to get the X to sync them.
Under accounts I have every google service checked. I have tried unchecking/rechecking it but it does not make a difference.
Any ideas on this? Are yours syncing?

if you're looking in gallery they aren't there. There's a new "G+" photos shortcut in your app drawer.
I wish they had left it integrated.

Calendar app loses calendar info at least once every day

Sometimes when I go to the calendar it is blank. Going to the Calendar app settings for my Google account, my calendars aren't listed. If I go to the main settings>apps>Calendar Storage and delete the data, I can then get the calendar back by going to the app and selecting refresh.
Any ideas why this is happening to me, but not my wife's N7? When this first happened I thought it was because I was using the QuickCalendar app so I deleted it. No joy.
BTW, my Bionic doesn't lose the calendar data--just the N7 loses it.

ANYONE? surely someone here as seen or heard of issues with the calendar app on the N7. ANY info is appreciated--I even created a secondary Google account to see if the N7 would lose it's calendar also. It does--just as often as my primary, which is many times per day.

Wife has exact same problem with calendar. It actually does the same thing with the contacts, which come back even less often then the calendar. Google cal and exchange accounts.
She tried calling the support number and the guy was clueless.
Haven't seen this and I use my N7 every day for calendaring stuffems.

I fixed it myself. didn't get any help from google forum. the fix was to reset the device. I told some folks about that in other forums, and when they reset THEIR devices, they too, got joy from the Calendar app.

FB Contacts Don't Sync W/ GE ROM

So I installed the Google Play edition ROM, from bigxie. And since I can't post in that forum with less than 10 posts, I have to ask here.
I'm unable to get my Facebook contacts to sync into my phone. I've tried removing the account, and even reinstalling Facebook. I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.

use haxsync
I'd kinda like to get the phone working the way it's supposed to work rather than downloading an app for it.
Facebooks contacts, at least for me, have never synced with vanilla android. Only way is to use a third party app.

As notown said above, you have to use an asp to sync contacts. Haxsync is my app of choice

FB & Google haven't played well together (on purpose) since either 2.3 or 4. Haxsync works perfectly to get around the contact sync issue.
So yeah, you're not "using an app to get the phone to work correctly", you're using an app to fix Facebook being a bunch of jackasses. It's "working correctly" by not syncing in the first place.
Oh alright. I just figured since they synced in Sense they would sync without it.

[Q] Double Calendar Notifications

Hello All,
I've been getting double calendar notifications for events since day one. I ignored it for awhile. Then it bothered me enough to do something about it. So i looked and noticed there were two Calendar apps so I disabled one and am still getting double calendar notifications.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thank you
Bump, please anyone?
Possibly uninstall one? You could also try turning notifications off for one.

I immediately disabled the stock calendar app and installed Google Calendar from the play store, there are no conflicts and it doesn't affect anything.

any idea why 1. the X has the android calendar (and not google) and 2. why the google calendar doesn't automatically replace the android calendar?
they're functionally identical, just one has Google's signature.

It might be an AOSP versus Google ROM kinda thing. Doesn't make sense, seeing that the Google Keyboard is built in.

[Q] Google Contact Automatically Sync Facebook Profile Photos?

Hi folks,
I've just noticed that my contacts are being uptdated (randomly) with Facebook photo profile of it respective contacts.
The awkward thing is that I don't have any "photo sync" app installed in my phone.
How Google Contacts are taking this profile pictures?
I've searched similar threads about this without success.
Thanks in advance. :good:
It's possible that Facebook has done something that actually allows syncing properly, like using the new API's in Android. Who knows though, Moto mentions on their site that it doesn't work stock, and you have to use a 3rd party app to sync it. Only thing I could guess is that the Facebook app has gained API support for contacts and linking. Dig into your Accounts on settings, and see if your FB account lists sync contacts as on.

I forgot to mention that I've deactivated FB sync in my phone. That's why I'm wondering.
Maybe it's a new API that is syncing the photos, but why just some contacts?
Yesterday was just one, and now it has been updated 2 more contacts. And again, randomly.
Google+ maybe?

Google Calendar Not Syncing

I recently switched from ios back to android on my Note 5. The problem I'm having is syncing over my Google calendars to this phone. My wife has an iPhone 6 and I can't seem to see any of her events on her Google calendar on my phone. I've tried several different apps and dug through all the settings, removed her Google account, added it back in, restarted my phone. Everything I can think of, I've tried and still her Google calendar won't sync to my phone.
Has anyone ever ran into this before or have any other ideas?
My last option to try would be to sign back into my icloud on my iPhone 5s that I still have and use samsung smart switch. Has anyone ever used this app and had success with it?

Update:
I used Sunrise Calendar app and logged into her icloud through the app and it worked. But, Google calendar and the stock calendar still doesn't sync her account.
