Gmail Sync Unchecked

Using CM7 and every so often Gmail mail sync gets unchecked. When I go back in to accounts and recheck it, it syncs successfully. Calendar and contacts never unchecks. Anyway to resolve this?
Thanks.

I have run into this form time to time also. Someone on the cm forums also reported this for the heroc. No confirmation if it's a heroc issues, cm7 issue or a gmail issue. The cause is thought to be some issue related to not being able to sync for a certain time, i.e. loss of signal, or possible airplane mode, and then gmail decides to stop trying to automatically sync.
I also have the issue with google+

I can confirm that I have exactly the same problem. I use a zte blade with CM 7.1 stable release. I use the gmail app.
Any solutions?

i have this issue too htc legend

Try updating your gmail apk or roll back one.

[Q] What prevents syncing? Anyone else on 10.1 having sync isues?

I'm on a Nook HD+ 32GB and CM 10.1.3. Sync is simply not working. I don't mean calendar or contacts, I mean everything that uses sync. Or, to put it another way, every app/service that registers themselves under the "Accounts" section of the settings. So for example, Firefox sync, Evernote, Vine and, of course, all Google services (including Gmail).
The only things that are syncing correctly are the apps that use their own sync like Aquamail, Plume and Wunderlist. Those are all working fine.
The symptoms: When I, for example, press "sync now" in any of the Google accounts, the little sync circle appears next to the first sync item. It doesn't spin (not sure if this rom the circle is supposed to spin) and it just stays there, forever, till I reboot the tablet. I am getting no error messages.
What I have done: Ok, the initial sync works. When I first set up the account, it syncs. I have since factory reset and re-flashed 4 times trying to fix this. The initial sync works but then it never syncs again. If I remove and re-add accounts, it syncs fine the first time but then it doesn't sync again.
I have tried deleting all data from every sync enabled app. When I do that, it doesn't sync at all, not even once. Only time it syncs, that I have seen, is on the initial account setup.
Help: I need troubleshooting ideas and, better, all the things that might stop syncing from working. The mechanism itself seems to be working as it does an initial sync. Something seems to be stopping it from doing any more syncs though and I have no clue what or how the sync system works. What apps are involved in syncing? Is it Google Framework? Other things?
Thanks!!

Be sure that you don't prevent google apps to see your personal data. Go to Settings -> Security -> Privacy guard to check that

Appreciate the help! I don't use Privacy guard and no apps are enabled, but I do use Open PDroid. I tried deleting all rules for every system app in in Pdroid and then syncing but it still does not work.
Any other ideas? Thanks!

After not getting any traction on fixing this, I started trying the 10.2 nightlies. However, I am running into issues with that and would really rather be back on my 10.1.3 build. So a quick "bump" to this thread.
I am wondering if AFwall is somehow to blame here? Before I flashed 10.2 I uninstalled afwall and Pdroid to see if that would fix anything and it didn't. I have also removed the following items from the rom:
email, news and weather, notepad, exchange services, Google+ and picasa uploader. I should note I have removed email, exchange services, google+ and picasa uploader on my 2 Samsung phones (G4 and Note 2) and my Asus tablet (TF300) as well and not had any issues, but I though I would mention it.
I think those are the only things that make my build different from everyone else.

All right, hope this info helps someone. Instead of reading the new Dan Brown, which has been on my want to to list, I sat in a nipa cabana on Saturday, restored my 10.1 nandroid, and tracked this one down.
The culprit is the Xposed module Gravity Box. Once that was disabled and uninstalled sync worked again.
A couple of weeks ago I gave up on CM 10.1 and put on 10.2 to get past this problem. I didn't have time to do a full rebuild of my environment and only things that Titanium could Hypershell restore was put back. Xposed was one of the many things that was not installed. So I am not sure if this problem persists on 10.2 but at this point I am not going back to 10.2 now that I got this worked out.
Someone can tag this one closed/resolved and I hope this helps someone.

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.

Massive GMAIL Issue

Guys, I really need help and at my wits end. I left the android platform for a bit to IPhone X....Needless to say I want to use my Note 8 again. For the life of me, I cannot get gmail to sync anymore. I tried removing my google account, I tried a factory reset, I tried adding my google account to another android device...everything syncs like contacts, calendar etc....but NOT GMAIL.
I am at a total loss here as it still works fine on my IOS device and doesn't matter if I use WIFI or cell data. Any experts here with any clue...I'm dying here.
I would also like to add that I do not think its my device as this issue exists on 2 android devices I tried and I can add a different gmail account to either device with zero issues. Seems like something is specifically blocking my gmail (maybe a security or config setting somewhere) from allowing it to sync on the gmail app.
I am starting to think its not the gmail app itself but rather some setting (or something corrupt) in how sync syncs gmail. The issue must be with sync not my devices and not the gmail app because on the same devices, other gmail accounts work fine and other items sync fine (except gmail), factory resets, removal and re-adding accounts, etc do not work

You would do best to call Google and tell them your issue. I have never had gmail not sync when it is toggled to do so.

@mike3000000,
Have you tried all the recommendations on this page > https://support.google.com/mail/answer/4780745?hl=en
If so, and problems persist, go to the Google Gmail forum and post your issue there > https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/QGmx0I_lDa8/jZOAbHf5CQAJ

Are you SURE you've gone through ALL the settings in the GMail app? Theres a couple, if not checked, will screw up the sync. Like make sure all your inboxes are set to sync AND notify. Make sure you have it set to sync the last 30 days of mail (or however long you like).
Also go to accounts in settings and make sure all the sync settings are toggled on. Unless Google is having server issues, it's most likely something simple you've missed which is easy to do.

See if it works with Bluetooth turned off. My Gmail app seems to sync immediately (like it's meant to) and also the Google Play app updates complete and install without any delays.

I had this issue some time ago, with my note 8, not as bad as your case, there were some periods when no sync at all, I could verify that the issue was not gmail itself, as I have 3 devices with the same gmail account, the other two always received the emails normally, long story short, I solved the problem using macrodroid to trigger gmail sync every 10 minutes, I know that this is not a real solution, but I have used it for almost a year, as I use macrodroid for a lot of things, I really forgot àbout it untill now when reading your post

How is it obviously still a problem for some people? No one has replied in this thread for 15 months, until you resurrected it just to say you don't have that issue an tell the OP to turn off his Bluetooth.
Who is the OP? He's the Original Poster who started the thread. Who knows if he found a solution, but he obviously hasn't been here in 15 months, so my guess is he either solved it or gave up on it.

Because I am one of those "some people". Obviously. And I do have this problem. Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be searching for a fix or offering my suggested one.
If resurrecting an old thread bothers you so much why bother replying.

It doesn't bother me at all. I prefer people to search for issues before creating new threads. I didn't realize you were having issues as well, since you never said you were having issues. You actually said you Gmail syncs immediately like it's supposed to, which lead me to believe that you were NOT having an issue. Generally people don't say their phone is behaving as it's meant to, if they're having problems with it.
I thought you were just offering a solution to a very old thread for some reason. I was just letting you know it was an old thread, and the OP, to whom you were offering a solution, had moved on.
Then when you said others were obviously still having issues, I questioned that, as it was not obvious to me. Especially since your post was about how your Gmail syncs immediately and Google Play updates without delay, and your phone is functioning as it's meant to (in your words). Maybe I should've understood you wanted it to function MORE like it's meant to?
Then you asked who the OP was, so I explained that.
And you wanted to know what his solution was, so I explained I didn't know, since he had moved on.
So it didn't bother me. I was merely conversing with whom I believed to be another civilized adult. Sorry I offended you, though.

Can't sign into chrome?

I can't seem to sign in to google chrome using my account. My bookmarks and etc. were showing but every time I try to sign it I get the message 'this account already exists on the phone' and my history wouldn't sync. So, I removed my google account and signed it back into my phone.
The google account signed in on my chrome app then it just went back by itself, now I've tried to log in again and it says the same message now with no bookmarks syncing either.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app updates too, not sure what to do from here.
Anybody have any ideas?

same here. deleting the google account or uninstalling chrome does not help.
i manage to auto sign in into all other google aps

This happened to me when I changed my Google password while still logged in on my phone. I backed up via Huawei desktop software and factory reset my phone through recovery and it's all good now. Nothing else seemed to fix it.

Finally managed to fix it! I made sure the app had all the permissions set then I uninstalled all the updates again, this time I signed in first and it ended up working as normal then I just updated the app again and it worked perfectly. Not sure if the apps permission effected it but definitely try uninstalling the updates then signing in first before updating again.

Uninstall Google play services & chrome update first (bring it back to factory pre installed version) then login using chrome first before updating anything.
happened to me before when i update before got chance to sign in

Uninstalling Google play services solved all my problems

thank you this issues solved for me with re-update google play services

Hi all. I also have this issue. Which Play Services do you have to uninstall?

Just give the Google apps permission to your contacts and it will work

Well done all. It worked perfectly. See there sad a bug in the last update
