I Want My Sync to Stay on Continuously
-
I've had the sync icon for 4 days now. I search through the forums and seen similar situations but with other phones. I unchecked auto sync on all my apps, I then turned it off and turned it back on and it went away but then came back up a min later. Is this normal for it to be syncing for days like this? Im new to Android...

Thats exactly what I did as I stated in my 1st comment.. And its still there, its not really a major issue to me its just a icon and as far as Ive seen it hasnt affected my battery life. Again Im just new to Android and was wondering

i didnt know if you meant you turned off sync or turned off the phone or tried both or what. regardless, its not normal for it to be going to for four days straight. unless you have a million contacts and you just recently set everything up for the first time.

Oh ok so it not normal
Damn i guess I have some more research to do. Ima have to kinda back track then, cus from what I remember I fooled around with the sync options when I downloaded Friends caster (I believe thats what its called) to be able to sync my FBF's profile photos with my contacts. Then the next day I noticed it never went away =/10-18-2011 10:15 AM

My sync icon has been on all day today. Rebooted three times. There are no app updates and the OS is up-to-date. I was just wondering too what was going on.

Check out the accounts/sync settings. My wife was having issues with constant syncing. We determined the Wallet app and its recent update were the culprit. She turned off Wallet syncing and all was fine.

That's the thing I don't have google wallet our haven't even set out up. I read where that was the cause of the problem too but still have it. I went to the options you recommended took off the auto sync and background data and its still there. Idk I might take it to the Sprint store to see what they say

If you tap on each account that you have set up, you should be able to see exactly which account and which item it's trying to sync. Re-enable auto sync and background data, and uncheck the item that's trying to sync, then reboot, then check that item again and see if it goes through

I have the same problem.. Its Google wallet that's running - it shows sync as the main process that's running. Problem is I don't wallet set up to sync or set up at all and its not listed on under the sync accounts. its using 79% of my battery currently and sync icon has been present for 2 days.. Looks like an app update issue...

I installed Verizon's FiOS thing yesterday and got the constant syncing bug. Went away when I reinstalled the app.

Uninstalling Google Wallet did it for me, too. Although, it didn't completely uninstall Wallet, just its updates.
Thanks for the thread

I had the same issue with the Verizon Fios Apps running, as soon as I removed them it stopped, check it out.

Verizon FiOS app was the culprit for me. For some reason, it adds itself to the "Accounts & Sync" menu, even though there is nothing to sync (when you click on the Verizon FiOS account, there are not boxes to check/uncheck to sync).

Had the same problem.. it was Google Wallet even if sync was turned off. Uninstalled the latest update for it and the problem was resolved.

If you setup Google Wallet, the syncing icon will go away. That's what I did with my Nexus S 4G. I signed up for the "Pre-Paid card" and I got a instant $10 balance!

try uninstalling youtube updates, especially if you have multiple google accounts on your mobile.

When I installed updates my sync icon stayed on for hours, it drained my battery quickly and I found that uninstalling You tube updates stopped the sync icon problem and restored normal battery life. I had several google accounts on my phone and apparently this was the problem. I hope this works for someone else. I know I was going crazy.. Best wishes!

Hi I would like to say many thanks for your suggestion after weeks and weeks and trying everything from disabling the sync and even doing a master reset this worked for me I only have just gone into apps and uninstalled youtube updates and the sync icon dissapeared straight away Yippee finally and the battery is not running down even though i have ordered a new one just incase.
Regards
Mike

Uninstalling YouTube updates also worked for me in removing that problem after connecting gmail to more than one gmail account. What a relief. Thank you.
