[RESOLVED] Google sync issue - Sprint HTC One (M7)

This has been driving my nuts for days, and I feel like an idiot that it took so long to figure out. I'm posting it here in case anyone else runs into this.
Symptom: red "syncing issue" circle showing on your google account under accounts and sync in the menu, but when you go into it to see what's not syncing, all items (calendar, contacts, gmail, etc) all appear to have synced correctly. Also, google services may or may not be keeping your phone awake. You've removed and re-added your google account, cleared cache and permissions, but that red circle won't go away.
Solution: I had frozen google tasks in tb days ago (because I don't use it), but apparently it was still trying to sync. When I unfroze it, it immediately showed up under accounts and sync with a red circle. I then manually synced, which got rid of the circle, then unchecked it so that it wasn't set up to sync anymore.
Problem solved, and all red "syncing issue" circles gone.

[Q] GMail not syncing correctly.

I flashed to JM5 the other day and setup my google account on startup as usual.
Everything came down ok - calendar, contacts and mail. I have push enabled and I get informed of my mails almost instantly as expected. I can mark them as read and/or delete them without issues.
The issues come later when I sign onto my GMail account on my home PC - all the mails I have read/deleted during the day are still marked as unread and I have to re-read/re-delete them. Everything else works fine!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
I've tried to delete the account and re-add but it says I can't remove it (since other apps are so dependent on it) without a factory reset.
i've my gmail account configured to Archive downloaded/read emails

I have the same problem, and it started recently...past two weeks probably. It is annoying, I'll open gmail on the phone, read the messages, close gmail, open gmail and they are right back.
I'm on a Vibrant, search feature brought me here...

Loosing calendar items

Hello
A strange thing is happening in these last days, it has never happened before since I have the Incredible s (4 months).
Randomly I find my android calendar, which is normally synced with google calendar, completely empty. I need to go to Application -> Calendar sync -> reset data to force the synchronization again and find all my appointment.
The only thing I have noted is that in the Synch status screen, if I select the google account, the calendar is checked (of course) but there is the round arrows icon close to the checkmark and the icon is steady (the symbol tipically moves when the sync is in progress).
Does someone is having the same issue too?
Thanks
Stefano
same for me
starting a few days or yesterday? can'r remember

Now the problem is over. Probably it was something from google server that has been fixed as I did nothing particular...

Problem with google sync

Hey there!
A few days ago i started to have this issue with the google sync... When i turn on wi-fi, in the bar appears an icon saying that there was an error with the sync of the phone, and if i touch there, it tells me to put my mail password, i enter the password, it seems to do something and it takes me to the same position on puttin the pw again...
And if i go to the settings of the phone, on the google sync there is a small red icon with a "!", and inside there is problems with calendar, gmail and contacts...
I tried a lot of things and still doesnt work, and i already waited like 5 days to this problem to solve by it self if it was google, but clearly, it is not...
Goodbye!
UP!
Anyone?
go to settings/ Accounts & Sync and hit on auto-sync or down on list on your gmail account.
hit thanks

Gmail, Hangouts, etc not updating, but background data not restricted

Since 5.1 I've had the Google Play Service batt drain issue. Last night I uninstalled updates and cleared data for Hangouts, Play Services, and the Play Store. I logged back in, updated everything, etc and things seemed fine at first.
Today however I noticed that my hangouts, Gmail messages, etc weren't sinking. If I open say, Hangouts, eventually I get all of my messages, but I had no idea there were any. Same with Gmail. Background data is not restricted however, no apps are disabled (aside from Spotlight, which has always been disabled), and sync is on. On the syn screen for Google there are no errors, and it always shows that things are have been recently synced.
Ideas?
Edit: Auto-sync data is always checked/enabled.
Edit 2: This happens on Wifi as well as mobile data.
Edit 3: Actually, it looks like the sync time is not updating (may have previously been triggered by opening other apps)

Contacts won't sync and other issues

I'm not sure if this is Note 8 related, Samsung related, or an Android-wide Google issue, but figured I'd start here.
I have a Verizon branded Note 8 that I'm using on T-Mo. I just bought the device Monday from an individual. I flashed the T-Mobile firmware and everything seemed to be working fine, until I noticed not all my contacts synced from Google. I'd say probably 75% of them synced, but I was missing a large random chunk of them.
I tried everything I read to resolve the issue. Deleted and re-added my Google account. Cleared the contacts app data/cache. Rebooted. Downloaded Contact Sync Fix. Nothing fixed it. I evwn downloaded Google Contacts, and they wouldbt all sync. I checked my Google contacts online and they're all there. If I ADD a contact to my Note 8, it syncs to my Google account.
I checked my S8+ and tried to re-sync my contacts on that device, and it keeps giving the "Sync is having issues..." message. I don't get that message on my Note 8, but obviously it isn't syncing properly.
I did a factory reset. That didn't fix it. I flashed the unlocked firmware, that didn't fix it. I set rhe phone back up, and I noticed issue #2. I suddenly lost the ability to customize my Google search bar. It wasn't a big deal at first. I usually have to wait for the app to update after setting the phone back up, and sometimes have to delete and add the search bar widget back. But no matter what I try, it won't work.
I factory reset again and flashed back to the T-Mo firmware. I didn't restore ANYTHING and set it all up from scratch as a new device. Still those two issues remain. I'm bone stock, not rooted, stock Touchwiz launcher, using all the stock Samsung apps. My work around is all my contacts were synced with my Samsung account, and they synced to my Note 8 just fine, but I want my Google Account contacts to sync properly. The search bar will just stay white I guess.
TL;DR:
1. Google contacts not syncing properly.
2. Google search bar widget no longer customizable.

Your link says page not found, but I finally got it working properly after you responded. I couldn't get it to Sync properly at first. It took me deleting my Google Account, turning off Samsung Contacts Sync, deleting all the contacts from my phone, force stopping the contacts app and clearing it's data. Then I rebooted, added my Google account and let it all Sync again. Low and behold, all my contacts have now synced properly.
My Google search bar widget has still lost its ability to be customised however. Which sucks, because I like a dark theme and it was awesome setting the bar to Black and transparent.
