    Default Syncing issues after changing Google password

    I searched around for an answer for this and couldn't find anyone with the same problem. Here's what's up-

    I changed my Google password last week, and the day after, when my phone tried to sync, it gave me a password error. I entered the new password and it worked fine, Gmail synced just like it was supposed to and loaded my new messages.

    The problem is, it hasn't synced since! If I manually try to sync it, it acts like it's working, but doesn't actually sync. The last sync date is still the day I re-entered the password. Hitting refresh in the gmail app does the same thing- it pauses like it's refreshing, but nothing actually happens. No password errors, no nothing. It just doesn't work. Can anyone help? The phone is an HTC Evo Shift on Sprint. Thanks!

    If you add the Widget, Power control, there is a button with a circle and two arrows, looks like a sync icon. Make sure you have this enabled. I don't think that's going to fix the problem, but, it can't hurt to check.

    Maybe you should try removing the account and adding it again?

    Try clearing the gmail app cache & data

    if that does not work delete gmail account, reboot or shut down, restart & add the gmail account back.

    I am assuming your talking about gmail account only

    Hope that helps

    Go here. it will ask you to login to google account

    You should see something like this "Android Login Service — Full Account Access"
    near that there will be a button "Revoke access". click on it and revoke access.

    Next time you use ur phone it will ask for your password. If you just have one Android phone revoke all access.. it will automatically ask you for password next time.
