For some reason my syncing on my Google account just turned off, and I can't figure out how to turn it back on. Stock Android 4.1.1 Gnex. Looked for answers everywhere but can't find it...
 
Sorry mods...finally found it. Took me forever to find it through a web search. Instead of being under the account it's under Data Usage>Menu>Auto-Sync Data

I have no idea how that got turned off.
 
My Samsung SPH-M580 running Android 2.3.6 only sync's sometimes.
Manually initiating sync does nothing.

Both Yahoo and Google accounts do not sync.
Application sync--> google set to autosync

Sometimes it works others not.

Help!
 
thanks i just had the same issue where everything stopped syncing and for some reason the option to auto sync was not under settings --> accounts but it was under Data usage--> menu auto sync data
 
Thank you. I have been looking for this for the past 10 minutes, then 2 with google.

Remember that you can also select which Google services you want to sync by going into the Google account linked to your device and checking/unchecking the boxes you don't want sync'd.

Selecting services to auto-sync via Accounts is only an option if you have Data Usage > Menu > Auto-sync Data checked.

For some reason or another this can become unchecked and auto-syncing isn't possible until checking it again.
 
Thank you! The person who told me where to turn my sync back on!! It was under data usage!! It was driving me nuts.
 
Where do I find the data useage to start the process to enable sync. My problem is with my calendar.

From your homescreen > Menu Button > Settings (System Settings) > Data Usage (Under Wireless & Networks) > Menu Button > Auto-sync data. Make sure it's ticked.

Then from your homescreen > Menu Button > Settings (System Settings) > Google (Under Accounts) > Tap your account at the top. You should see the list of things that are autosyncing. Make sure Calendar is ticked.
