I just got the 4g yesterday and rooted it. Nothing beyond that though. The phone is not syncing my calendar for some reason. I've tried uninstalling the entire calendar (backed up with titan, and restored now) to try and install the cyanogen calendar with no success. I installed buisness calendar free and it doesn't even see the calendars.
In the sync settings under all my google accounts the icon is red and it says:
'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.'
It's said this since last night so there has to be something wrong with the phone.
I tried wiping cache/davik and nothing. Still fails.
Any assistance would be much appreciated,
thanks,
Justin

I don't think it is because you rooted your phone, I have a galaxy S3 that is not rooted and my syncing stopped working as well. I think it might be a bigger issue with google.

I am not rooted and I have this problem too. But, its with the Facebook calender only. The others sync fine.
Yeah, I dont think it has to do with root either, but I'm pretty sure my other phone is syncing just fine. I was just thinking maybe I missed a setting somewhere or there was some bug that people knew about and possibly how to fix. Just really annoying since I use it for work.
**edit**
Actually, forgot about this... my calendar app actually stops working if I try to view calendars to select which ones to sync. Also business calendar doesn't even recognize that I have calendar's (maybe cause the sync problem noted in OP).
found out it is my phone, tested at a verizon store and google calendar sync works on the demo phone as well as the galaxy s3 there...

Having a problem with my calendar. If I create an event, it will show up on my phone just fine but if I check my calendar on the computer the events aren't showing up. Now the calendar was working just fine while I was still stock rooted. The problem didn't start until I flashed a custom rom last week. Now it doesn't matter which rom I flash the problem is still there. I'm getting real pissed.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a solution?
The HTC calendar can sync with our computers? Damn, I'm finding more and more stuff to do with this phone.

Well, I used to. Somethings not right now though. me and my wife share a calendar so we both can see the schedule. Mine was working fine when I was stock & stock rooted but ever since I flashed the first custom rom last week it stopped working. None of the events I create will show up on my wife's phone or in google calendar on the computer. It's weird though because I can see the events she creates just fine. I've tried 3 different roms now and all the same results.
I know you have probably already tried this but make sure "calendar" is set up to sync in the respective google account. Do this from settings/accounts/then the account. If that is checked go to the calander app (htc sense one in the app drawer) then at the top you will see a little drop down carrot. tap the top bar and make sure your calander is listed there. if it isn't then you can try to clear data on "calendar" "calendar storage" and "google calendar sync" Hopefully one of the above works for you. I have had a similar problem when I used Titanium backup to restore system data. Good luck hope this helps.

I tried all of those and nothing. Also, I never use TB to restore system data just to avoid any issues. The weirdest thing is that I can see the events that my wife creates but my events won't write to the google account. I've never had this problem while I was stock or stock rooted or on my og evo. Now I've tried 3 different roms and all the same.
You've got to be kidding me, lol. I've never had this happen before. I figured out the calendar issue. I was messing around with it some more today and what happened was, it was stuck on pc sync. When you open up the calendar up it tells you at the top which calendar will be synced. I have never noticed that before. I've never had to change it. All I had to do was add the gmail account that I wanted to use and set it to sync just the calendar and I was good to go. I feel like an idiot, lmfao.
Hi guys,
I just noticed recently that my DNA is giving me this error under accounts and sync. It seems like this may be a wide spread issue for all types of Android phones, but I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this. The strange this is that it looks like everything is synced properly, and even when I drill down into the actual items that are syncing, there are no errors. I'm not sure if it is the rom that I am on (UKB), but I would really like to clear it up if possible. I have tried deleting the data in Apps for the various items listed, but this does not seem to help. I even booted into recovery and cleared the cache, to no avail.
Thanks guys,
Steve
Alright, I just did a full wipe, installed UKB 1.3 with Cubed stock kernel, and I am still getting that sync error. Is anyone else seeing this?
I have had this issue on CODIS, UKB and the battery plus ROM
It syncs everything fine, but it does show a red sync icon and say its experiencing problems. I've just learned to deal with it as everything still works fine.
--removing and re-adding my google account does nothing
--unchecking each option (calendar, contacts, gmail etc.) one by one to see if a particular causes the problem,...does nothing to help
Just wanted to letyou know you are not the only one with the issue.
I'm having the issue where the gmail app syncs fine but if I read/delete emails and go back to my computer, all the changes I did on my phone didn't sync with my computer browser. Anyone know how to fix that?

I had that issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling gmail app from the market fixed it for me.
-HTC Droid DNA-
Ah, thanks for the replies guys. At least I'm not the only one . At least it's not in your face screaming at you, so I can learn to ignore it.
I'm having the sync issues myself, and I'm even on full stock ROM. Just wanted to let you know. My account is on two-step authentication - are other people also using two-step? Common denominator?

I believe that is the problem. I had an error in Google Internet sync. I fixed it by going to Google dashboard on my computer and clicking "Websites authorized to access the account." Go down to Application Specific Passwords.
Install the Google Authenticator on the DNA. Then register it by generating a new application specific 12 digit password. The Authenticator app will then generate the six digit codes you'll need when asked to be able to sync your bookmarks in the browser or sign in the Google search homepage. Anyway it worked for me.
For me it was Facebook calendar that couldn't sync. I unchecked it and the error went away. It looks like it can be any part of any of your accounts that will trigger that message. If you go into each one, it will show which one is having the problem.
Hi, I have a Motorla Photon 4G and I'm with Sprint if this is needed, but I tried to call someone yesterday and noticed it didn't want to and force closed. I noticed it after I was deleting a bunch of old pictures on my phone and had some applications update, and installed a new one too. It's not rooted, and I don't mess with the files internally, so what should I do? I noticed some other threads had something to do with Yahoo contacts or something like that, but I don't meddle with Yahoo at all on my phone, or on the computer.
My brother and sister both have the same phone too, and they don't get this problem.
Thanks.
Back up all data and try a factory reset.

Same problem here Dean.
Let me know if you find a solution.
The new update from the Hotmail app to Outlook did the same to me. Once I uninstalled Hotmail, my contacts came back.
Thanks for saving me from factory reset

This is exactly what worked for me and I can't thank you enough for posting! The only thing I had to uninstall was the old hotmail ap and suddenly everything was back working fine!:good:

-Did you try deleting your Google account in accounts from your phone and then add it back? That might work. Since you checked online and your contacts are still on Google, it sounds like a sync-focused problem and not an account issue. Is your Google Calendar syncing? Also are other accounts syncing?
I once installed a rom (not Tasks) and the contacts did not show up until I reloaded gmail and sent myself an email. (I don't normally use Gmail, but did for that issue!)
Sorry, I don't have more recommendations!
Good Luck!

good job! However, I would be concerned that they may not sync or stay updated. . . You might still have a sync issue.
Does your calendar sync? Also gmail on the phone stays sync'd with the desktop /web versions? That's the issue!

unfortunately, this is actually my gf's phone and she doesnt use google services so the only thing she has with google are her contacts. so as of right now, shes not pissed that she didnt lose her contacts so im ok for now. lol
For about a week now I have been experiencing some strange syncing behavior on my Google accounts sync and it is driving me crazy. What I am experiencing is my Google account syncing non-stop, over and over again. As a result, battery life is taking a hit. As far as I know it is centralized to the Google accounts.
What I have tried:
Restoring phone to stock firmware using LG flash tool (issue eventually started again)
Removing additional Google accounts
Turning off data and unchecking all the sync options for the google account and one by one turning them back on (this works but only if I uncheck everything besides gmail, app data, and calendar)
Downloaded a contacts fixer to make sure there are no broken contacts to sync.
While it doesn't sound like an issue that should be isolated to the LG G3, I have seen similar issues based on some Google searches from other LG G3 owners. I would love to use my phone as it was intended with multiple Google accounts and all accounts syncing correctly.
Has anyone experienced this annoying issue or if anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
I believe I have the same thing, like you for about a week.

I first though that maybe installing all the new updated versions of the Google apps that just came out is causing the issue, but haven't verified that. Do you remember anything that may have triggered the issue for you?
Thanks!
I believe it kicked in when I updated gmail, with the app now handling other email servers.

I believe you are correct here, my sync icon stays up of late until I swipe away gmail in the recent applications...
