"Sync has failed" message

[BudDroid]

About a week ago, I got a message that said something like "sync has failed" or "sync is unavailable". Being in the middle of other pressing things, I sort of forgot about it. Looking at Settings/Accounts &Sync, I see that nothing has synched since 2/21, over a week ago.

What to do?

I suppose you are referring to KIES Why not try out MyPhoneExplorer FJ Software Development. It can do everything KIES does except update the firmware & access Samsung apps. I have been using it from my K750i days & later it started supporting Android so my shift from my old phone to the current one was painless. You can use USB cable/WiFi/Bluetooth to connect your phone to your computer.

I think he is referring to cloud sync not Kies sync, since he is saying about a message and the accounts settings. Try a reboot.

Try this suggestion from EarlyMon. I haven't had sync issues myself, but I saw his post this morning for a different sync gone haywire issue. Often issues in Android have common fixes. Please post back and let me know if it works.

...go into settings, Accounts & sync, turn off Background data and Auto-sync, cycle power on the phone, then go into settings and turn both back on. The phone ought to sync for a minute or two and be done with it.

Reboot didn't do it, although that was a good idea that I'd forgotten. It had been a long time.

That was it. Thanks a lot!

Glad your all set. Now I have a new tool in the toolbox.
