I'm having a problem with the auto-sync on both my S3 and my Nexus 7. Basically, they don't ever accept sync changes, but they do push them.
For example, I create a note with Keep on my Nexus 7, it appears on the website but not on my S3, and vice versa.
Even if I manually sync Keep, the note won't appear.
Notifications don't sync either, nor does anything else.

I am trying to sync Google keep, but it's only sync in from the watch to the phone, note the other way around. I can create a note on the watch and it will appear on the phone but every new note I create on the phone doesn't appear on the watch, and the note I created on watch doesn't appear on the watch as well.
Please help me
I hate this app but I'm stuck using it cause that where the off screen notes save to.
Anytime I create a new off screen note, a notification comes up saying couldn't sync to Samsung Cloud. I can silence the notification but it shows in the app too & is annoying. Any way to disable that?
I have all cloud services disabled as far as I know but doesn't matter as it seems it's the app that is the issue.
Why couldn't Samsung have just stuck with the good ol' Snote!

All good, but thanks. Yes I did finally figure it out. It was a permission issues that was causing that message & would have caused a sync issue as well if I was using sync. I originally only had storage granted for permissions. Granting contacts & phone fixed the issue like you said.
I prefer not not sync my notes. Samsung currently has no way of deleting the sync'd notes off their cloud through a webpage. You need to use the original device that was sync'd to delete anything notes saved in their cloud. Had to find my note Note II & fire it up to delete the sync'd notes saved on the cloud.
While, I'm here anyone know the location of the saved notes for Samsung Notes on the Note 8? It doesn't seem to save to internal storage like the old Snotes did. I think it's somwhere /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.notes but I can't figure it out. I currently only have 2 notes but in those folders nothing matches up.
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.
google related problem.

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.
I have never minded using both Samsung and Google's services since the system-level apps for Samsung cannot always be uninstalled. I have found many Samsung apps to actually be better than Google's, especially with the OneUI update and some of Google's in a mess, but right now I am reaching a point where it is affecting my contacts and such to a point that I am annoyed.
When I am on my phone, I have multiple ways to contact people on any given app.
On Samsung Messages, if I tap on one person's icon to open the contact info for them, it will open properly. If I tap on a second, it will say "CONTACT NOT FOUND" even though they are linked and in my phone\contacts for both Google and Samsung - and I can access it any way. I can even type them in as a person to send a contact.
Then there is the issue that Samsung and Google contacts do not always format phone numbers the exact same, leading to minor issues here and there with area codes, international codes, etc.
Last, I noticed if I go into my Samsung account and look at a contact, it lists a whole 4 or 5 "LINKED CONTACTS" with the same information.
I thought that I already merged all my duplicate contacts with my Google contacts long ago? I did not have any issues with this on my Galaxy Note8, even with the version of the OneUI apps I had on there.
Here's what I am getting at: I am positive I am not missing any setting, but running into the inevitable. Easy contact syncing between phone\email\contacts was possible with Android 8 and my Note8, but updates and overhauls have created a problem where it is messing up again.
Do I even need to keep my Samsung account active on my phone? Can I uninstall the Contacts and Messages apps by using the ADB force-uninstall command? I am sure it will work but I do not want to break my phone too much
I'm also tired of having two calendar apps.
I actually like all Samsung's but I need to be able to move in and out seamlessly between computer and phone and right now Samsung isn't providing the integration it had in the previous versions of these apps for me.
Even Maps is a bit too different.
Advice?
Looked around and couldn't find exactly what I was after.
So I have my s20+ mobile and s8+ tablet synced through the Samsung calls and text link. Also have Samsung Flow.
SMS is received on both devices so that is good. But when I delete a text from one of the devices, it doesn't delete from the other.
Is there a way to have Samsung Messages continuously sync? Trying to steer away from Google Messages or 3rd party apps if I can.
I had the same issue in the beginning, but the syncing doesn't happen immediately when deleting a message...It does however sync a short while later. I do get "warnings" that I must make sure both devices are connected to the network..it takes a minute or 5 to sync the deleted messages. I use google messages as the sync happens a bit quicker as compared to samsung messages. if one of the devices looses connection for whatever reason it doesn't sync until both are connected again
