[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevomemo:
does the one hand mode(which resize the whole screen) work with other launchers other than touchwiz?

if you dont know..please install one and try it

i really want to know because i dont use touchwiz and i like this feature :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
Works well on go launcher

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spere:
I think this too with the air command are things that don't depent on what launcher you use.. I know for sure both works with GO Launcher and Nova.. Most likely with any other launchers too
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
It's not part of Touchwiz. Doesn't matter what launcher you use.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Yes it works with any launcher.

Note that some apps create a setting in the services section of the accessibility section. If any of these are 'on', the one-hand feature does not work. Looks like this is s bug in Android. If the feature does not work, look there.

Out of nothing my contact and calendar from google account didn't sync.

(I reconfigured some time ago my google talk / hangouts, but I'm not sure that this was the reason for this google sync error)

In the sync settings of my google account an error appeared, something like

Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly​

​

​

​

first: it took me some hours to figure it out

nothing in this forum mentioned before helped like deleting account and google apps, wiping cache, rebooting etc.

finally ...

this is the solution / workaround that fixed it for me:​

​

​

​

open google calendar

click in menu settings

(here are only screenshots from my german android 4.1.2, but you should be able to follow the steps)

in setting click on your existing gmail account

in the settings of your existing account tab on add account

on the following screen select google

enter now your login and password of your (existing) google account

Open your account in settings, hit menu and sync now

enjoy and hit THANKS (or even better click on link in my signature to join dropbox) if it helped and looks like this (in settings / google):
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IMadeYouReadThiso.o:
Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly ~FIX~

~For Root Users ~​

-First clear Google Play cache and data

-Open Root Explorer or a another similar file explorer

-Find the file named "ect" and open

-For Root Explorer change Mount R/W to Mount R/O

-Long press on the "hosts" file and tap "open in text editor"

-See the IP address xxx.x.x.x Localhost

-Add a "#" before the IP address, e.g - #xxx.x.x.x localhost

-Save and reboot your device

-tested on a Nexus 7 2013 running stock 4.4.2 build KOT49H with ElementalX kernel

-I may have no responsibility if you device becomes bricked, do this at your own risk x.x

I hope this helped ^-^

Finally someone has posted a solution to this problem. I just tried this on my stock non rooted AT&T S4 and although I went through the steps when I go to login to my account it says

"couldn't sign in

There was a problem connecting to the Google servers.

Please try again later"

But - it no longer gives the sync errors instead looks to be syncing on my Google contacts. It says "cancel sync" where it is usually says sync now. Hopefully it does sync. If not.... what other options do I have?!

Correction to my previous post - the fix does not work on my phone running ATT Touchwiz 4.4.2

Anyone know how to fix that wont wipe the contacts not synced yet? [MENTION=1446523]bgumble[/MENTION]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgumble:
you can export the contacts on your phone, try my 2nd solution, and with a working sync you can try to import the contacts again ...:fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
So i ended up calling Samsung - because i rely on my contacts for work/professional use, and basically got them to direct me to disconnect my google account from my phone then re connect and sync it - just to be on the safe side so if it wiped my contacts which it did not and i knew would not... id have someone to blame ;)

disconnecting my google account and reconnecting is the solution that worked for me. Thanks for the post! Hope my post can help the next person in my shoes as this seems to be a common error.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallofredmond:
Still Not Fixed

I had absolutely zero issues with sync on either of my accounts when I was using 4.3 ROMs. After switching to a custom Touchwiz KitKat ROM, the problems began. After the switch and restore of data with TB, acore was chronically crashing. So I wiped and reloaded the ROM from scratch and did not restore any system data that time. At this point, I went to add my Google accounts and calendars was not an available option. aCalendar+ Tasks was. However, even after repeatedly reauthorizing that option to have access, sync kept failing on aCalendar+ and Google Calendar was not an option still.

I have dropped both calendar programs, tried the contact fixer app, tried suggestions on other sites, and tried all suggestions in this thread with one exception. I am not manually editing my hosts file because, in my experience, doing so almost always breaks something else as a side effect.

So, short of wiping my ROM again, which I really don't have the time to do right now-what is there left to try. As it is, there is no option under my Google accounts settings to sync calendars at all and Picasa sync is now chronically failing on both accounts as a bonus. Google calendar is currently the only calendar app that I have installed and it endlessly churns when attempting to load the list of available calendars.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgumble:
sorry for being late.

Did you solve the problem, or do you still have problems with google sync?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallofredmond:
I did not solve the problem with Google Calendar itself-I went around it instead. I switched from gCal and aCalendar+ to Calengoo and gTasks and those sync with Google Cloud data just fine. The only issue is that I still get a chronic sync error on Picasa sync so I had to go around that as well using Google+ sync instead. Very strange and frustrating problem this is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgumble:
Weird, I never dicovered issues in the software. I thought these errors were database errors. But it's defenetly a good workaround to change the software.

i had this problem too after restoring some apps data with titanium, actually a friend of mine told me that i should clear an app's cache before doing a backup because else there's the chance you save some crap that can give you problems afterwards (and i didn't)... do you think this is what happened?

Hi i tried the above as you, but my LG G2 mini still wont sync on my phone, my tablet is fine and signing on on a pc works, i did a factory reset and still it wont sync

Same issues here

The only notifications I get reliably are Sms messages. Hangouts, google voice, and Gmail apps all must be manually refreshed to get new messages. I'm using carbon rom on a sprint l900 note 2. This issue is driving me insane and nothing has worked. If there are any more suggestions for a fix, I'd love to hear them. I can't be certain, but the issue appeared to coincide with the installation of a battery saving app, which I have since deleted. I have a nexus 7 that does not have this issue at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgumble:
I would start from scratch: factory reset and configure my google account.

If this is something you don't want to try, why not give it a try on a different ROM, or better, a different phone. I have an old hTC Desire and I test my google account with it. As long as this method works, the errors above might be ROM related.

Tested Solution

It's pretty simple to get out of this situation. Simply follow these steps, worked for me:

Make sure you are connected to the internet.

Check that you are using the latest version of Google Applications. If not, then update them via Google Play Store.

Now, simply remove your Google account which is experiencing the Sync error and Add it back.

This should help.

Hit Thanks if it does.:)

Google play services

Another option is to:

Disable Google Play Services

Uninstall updates (you may have to remove Device Manager from Administrator list)

Update Google Play Services (optional)

Reboot

A good test to see if Play Services is the issue, check if you can find your device on Device Manager. My Nexus 5 wasn't showing until I followed these steps.

Factory Reset & Everything Solved

Actually your article didn't helped me much as I couldn't figure out what was written in the images.

What helped me: Did Factory Reset, & it was good to go. I was using Mokee ROM 5.1 on Redmi 1S & had flashed GApps. After factory resetting, GApps was already there.

I tried some steps (not necessarily in the same order):

1. Flashed GApps again & cleared Cache & Dalvik Cache.

2. Simply Cleared Cache & Dalvik Cache.

3. Removed the whole google account, powered off, then cleared Cache & Dalvik Cache.

4. Added another google account.

5. Added non-google account in Gmail (this time the new emails from non-google account was coming, but Gmail FC)

I was having sync troubles with Gmail & Calendar: mainly Gmail FCed. Calender app was stable, I could even create new events.

I've observed that when we shift from one ROM to another, we should first install Google related apps before other apps, so that if any error comes, you can save your time by not installing other apps. Often, Google Sync related errors are quite difficult to troubleshoot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loves01:
Maybe...

Also ran into the problem. Suddenly Gmail and Agenda did not sync anymore. The frustrating message in accounts: experiencing problems and we'll be back soon (or something like that).

Tried everything: reinstalling accounts, clearing storage and cache, reinstalling stock ROM, etc...

Then I figured it could be the app for blocking ads. Reverted the ad blocking and 'voila', Google is now syncing all items without problems.

Maybe this helps anyone of you having the same problem...

Unfortunately I used all the tips here explained, apart from the one "for root users" (I use the phone in a company where root is not allowed) and I still did not sort out the Google account sync problem.

It may be my case is slightly different as I do not get any error message; instead the problem is that selecting the Google account any sync option is disabled and I cannot change these settings!

Not the Chrome sync, nor the Gmail or Inbox sync, none of the listed syncing options

Any other thoughts to get rid of this problem without doing the factory reset? Last point: on another Android device the account is working properly, so it's something related to my Galaxy S6 Edge plus with Marshmallow

My experience and solution on this issue.

Google contacts and calendar did not sync since one month ago. I had this problem in the past, but now the fix I adopted that time (clear Play Store cache) did not work.

I checked that the cause is the stamina mode of my Xperia Z3c (MM6.0.1) : if disable it the sync works.

To be able to use stamina mode and to have a working sync I must put these two apps into the list of the not optimized apps in battery optimization settings:

Google Calendar Sync

Google Contacts Sync
