Hi,
I have a rooted HTC desire with MIUI GB Rom. Everything worked fine till yesterday the gmail app suddenly stopped syncing and has been since then stuck on the "waiting to sync" page - "Your email will appear shortly". When i manually sync it, the app force closes. Even if i go into "accounts and sync" and uncheck and re-check auto-sync, the app force closes.
Googling this issue showed that tons of other folks have had this issue but I haven't found a solution. I've literally tried everything (i think):
Manual sync, uncheck and recheck auto sync, phone reboot, removing battery, uninstalling updates, uninstalling the app itself via Titanium backup and reinstalling via market, clearing cache and data of gmail app, clearing cache+dalvik from recovery, full wipe and reinstall of rom, factory reset and trying different rom, upgrading to Nikez lente ICS rom...
...but nothing has worked
Please help. What's the point of an android phone if the gmail app doesnt work

Turns out that only my account doesn't sync, If i use another email address, it sync normally. Suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue since yesterday (Inspire 4G rooted stock GizRootv_1), though I tested the issue with CM7.1 and the problem is the same.
My gmail email address is stuck at " Waiting for Sync", at times the Gmail App FC. If I add another gmail account, stop syncing my account and I sync Gmail with the new account it works without issues.
I had tried several Factory resets adding the account with problem first, last, nothing the issue appears and is related to my account.
It looks like a Gmail problem rather than a phone/ROM problem.
Any help for troubleshooting?
Thanks

I agree it's a gmail problem but troubleshooting did not yield any results, hence the call for help
Sorry, I missed to post what I wonder if you can check in your account.
Please check if in "Google Dashboard" -> "Account" -> "Websites authorized to access the account" do you have an entry for "Android Login Service — Full Account Access".
Having the same problem you described I tried a different account in the phone and it worked, so far this is the only difference I can find is the not working account does not have the entry described above.
Thanks

It does have this piece of access:
"You have granted the following services access to your Google Account:
Android Login Service — Full Account Access"
Another dead end, I thought that having it missing was the reason I was having problems.
Please let me know if you find something, I am checking with google's gmail forum but no answer from anyone yet, I will post if I find something.
FYI, I tried from scratch three different ROMs (Stock rooted, CM7.2 & MIUI) and installed Gmail as the first app and the problem was the same in all ROMs, it does not connects using my account but it does with two other different accounts I tried, my phone is an Inspire 4G.
Thanks

Ok, today the app suddenly started working normally!! :victory:
These are the things I tried, maybe it'll help:
1) Leave gmail unsynced for a few days
2) Go into IMAP settings on pc gmail and sync nothing but the inbox
3) Take all the inbox mails and put it a new unsynced folder, so the only thing ure syncing is an empty inbox
4) Update Gmail to 2.3.6
All the best!:good:
Success!!
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications
I encountered this problem after changing the email account associated with an Android phone. Avoiding the Factory Reset, I cleared the data in Manage Applications with the Gmail apps. Contacts and Calendar synched OK, but the dreaded "Waiting for Sync" message persisted when launching gmail.
Clearing the data for *all* Google apps solved the problem: gmail, gmail storage, google apps, and google backup transport. Then I launched gmail and went through the gmail account setup process. One or more of these two things was the key: configuring the new account through gmail or clearing data from all the google apps.
Make sure Auto-sync is enabled
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
Select Settings.
Select Accounts & sync.
Make sure the checkbox for Auto-sync is checked.

This worked for me! No need to delete data or anything. My settings were different, as shown below:
Settings > accounts section > Gmail
Found the account (it says sync is disabled)
Clicked on the account
Sync Gmail / tap to sync now / sync disabled < I did this. It took a few minutes, and completed the sync. Yay!

The same thing happen to me, but I deleted the app and the re installed it, hope this help.
Last year when this thread was opened the actual problem was related to this Gmail Forum thread: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/jb9zyCni3pc[1-25-false]
Do a search for "AGforum0822" at Google's Gmail forum and you will find more detail.
Maybe the problem came back.
Problem solved.
I had the same problem. I removed my google account. Which resulted in deletion of messages and contacts and calendar entries. Then I added back my google account keeping the sync on. Problem solved. Now my gmail syncs nice.
open gmail app
go to your default browser
type
g.co/allowaccess
enter
continue
press home key

Hi,
I have a really weird problem setting up my corporate exchange account with my stock n7100.
I can not set up my own account, because the remote security administration prompt doesn't appear and then although the account seems created it's stuck on loading forever. This can happen due to my exchange account settings in the exchange server but this is not the case. I can setup my account on my sgs 3 and my friends' n7100(same firmware version). I did setup my exchange account before on my n7100 but had to do factory reset and I can't anymore.
I have tried factory resetting, clearing the cache for both the e-mail app and exchange services and also reflashing stock rom via odin (two different versions) but I still can't setup the account. The only thing I can think of is that some config file etc might have been left at some partition preventing my account from being setup.
Any help is very much appreciated.
you can reset and get the Google Now and Google now on Tap features irrespective of which country you're residing
i'm simply connecting the dots here
Kudos to the good people who have shared their methods with us, t3al, root-junkie
i'm just the messenger
things to note before proceeding-
remove the verify via sms option on google account, do it through a computer
because for this to work VPN is needed, and if the sim is in your device it might not be able to fool the phone,( correct me if my info is wrong)
in every case people say to reset the phone to factory default,and sign in
this very true, but you should have the option to skip every page of initializing process (if it is properly reset) in most cases samsung has this protection and asks for the earlier phone user's google account details, if you are experiencing this issue you have not reset the phone to the full extent
video one is about this factory reset,
video two is about enabling Google Now and Now on Tap, in any country
follow these two videos in order-
don't worry if this doesn't work , just head over to the settings and do a factory reset for a second time..(through the phone settings, not by bootloader thingie)
now you will have the option to bypass
then follow this procedure

you'll have cards and now on tap working.:laugh:

i need help to bypass google account.
Let me help you out here. If you did an untrusted reset (Reset via recovery or ##786# or reset device with google account still on) and then changed your password. You are locked out for 24 hours. It may keep saying "Please enter in the google account on this phone" if you know you have the right account and did an untrusted reset, and reset your password you will have to wait 24 hours before the phone wll let you log back in. It's called android factory reset protection and it cannot be bypassed. There used to be methods but as far as I'm aware these methods have been patched.
After factory reset I'm stuck at google account screen which I don't remember since it wasn't my main google account.
After a lot of research I've tried the talkback->youtube but chrome or any browser doesn't open so I can't use it
Tried the gmail path but whole menu' doesn't show up, only account section and no options
Tried the keyboard "assist" but google search bar doesn't appear.
Tried to flash stock rom from sdcard but fails at 5%
Phone wasn't rooted and everything is stock
How do I get past google account screen? Is it as good as bricked?
UPDATE: I managed to get past FRP through the stock email app exploit! I cannot post links however due to forum restrictions.
In case anyone needs:
1. Follow guide with normal talkback->share link->email(select stock email app instead of Gmail)
1.1 Create a hotmail or whatever account on an other device.
2. Sign in, compose email, attach file from sd card (QuickShortcutMaker apk, you can google it)
3. Send email! you can send to random address
4. Go to outgoing, open sent email and open attached file and install
5. After install open and scroll down to "Huawei Home", open first option, then tap "try"
6. You now have access to whole phone, go to Settings->Accounts and delete all accounts
7. Go back to settings->backup&restore->Factory reset and confirm
8. Phone is now clean of FRP, enjoy!
A friend of mine asked about this. It's never a problem I've had, but thank you for sharing the solution. This could come in handy!

Indeed! Most common solutions weren't working for me so for a few days I was going crazy, but finally found one that works. Maybe someone else doesn't have to go crazy too!
