How to fix the sync issue in Android?
Most of the time we face sync issues in Gmail and we can clearly notice because we will face above mention problem. So, let's try to solve them.
1 Update your Gmail App
Sometimes updating your Gmail app may work since there may be a problem with Gmail, and some users have reported major issues, therefore Google may have updated with the latest version.
Click here to navigate to the update page.
2 Restart your Device
Many unwanted Gmail caches and files will be removed from your phone. It is like a recommendation option.
3 Check your device setting
3.1 Try connecting to the internet: When you connect to the internet, Gmail may automatically sync the mail.
3.2 Turn off and On airplane mode: When you enable airphone mode, an airplane icon will appear in your notification bar, and when you turn it off, airplane mode will be disabled. When you turn it off, your cellular network, wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth connections are all off, and reactivating them is the same as restarting them. So, if there is any wifi-related problem it may solve.
3.3 Check the "Sync Gmail" Option in Gmail Settings
For this follow the below steps.
- Login to your Gmail Account
- At the top left corner, click on 3 bar
- Select Settings from the list.
- Select your desired account whose sync is not working
- Then be sure the checkbox next to "Sync Gmail" is checked. Otherwise checked it.
4 Clear Cache Data
You may have a large number of files/folders in your download folder, which you can delete. You can uninstall the app that is no longer in use. Because of the little space available, auto-sync may be difficult for Gmail.
5 Check you are login
If you find yourself logging out of Gmail, you won't be able to sync Gmail for that email. So, just log in to your mail and wait for some time and look whether the sync is working or not.
6 Last Try Clear Gmail Cache and Data
If none of the above steps works then just clear Gmail Cache first.
Steps:
- Open Settings option
- Go and tap the Apps option
- Search for Gmail and select it
- Tab Storage Tab
- Then Tap Clear Cache
This step works with Samsung smartphones. Will have similar options for another smartphone.
If this does not work then the last option is clearing Gmail Data.
It's important to keep in mind that removing the data will return the program to its factory default settings. Any saved personal data on the app will be deleted. Later, it will require a complete resync of all accounts, which will consume a lot of bandwidth, so do it when you have unlimited data or wifi.
Steps to Clear Gmail Data
- Open Settings option
- Go and tap the Apps option
- Search for Gmail and select it
- Tab Storage Tab
- Then Tap Clear Data
- Then click ok to clear data.
What is Server Synchronization?
For sync to happen your devices should not have to be on, because data synced is not happening in the client, it is happening in the server. In the server, it runs all day for ensuring up-to-date information all the time.
What happens if you set sync off?
Ans: When this option is turned off, you must refresh your email by pulling it down from the top(mobile or Tablet) or pressing F5(in PC).
Gmail Sync vs Google Sync
Google Sync allows your users to sync their Google Apps mail, contacts, and calendars to their mobile devices using Microsoft® Exchange Active Sync®. On Google Apps domains, Google Sync is enabled by default.
Gmail Sync, on the other hand, will just sync Gmail messages so that Gmail may auto-sync with the server and fetch them when updates are made in the same Gmail on other devices.
