Yahoo account sync issues - completely baffled

[Dan Vellucci]

Hey guys, my first post here.

I just got a brand new Nexus 5, KK 4.4.4, T-Mobile.

Rather than have the Google+ auto photo sync enabled, I'm trying to get my phone to auto sync to Flickr so my photos are saved in their full size and resolution. However, I cannot for the life of me get it to work.

Under Settings > Accounts, my Yahoo account is there. When I click it, the next screen has my Yahoo username and it says "Sync Off". There is not an option to turn sync on with a check box like there is with Google. Under settings, there is an option to "Sync Now", which does nothing, the sync indicator remains grayed out and off. General data syncing is enabled, as my Google syncing is working fine. Syncing is also enabled within the Flickr app.

I'm really lost on this one. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Can you access and modify your account settings on a computer browser?

I can, but Flickr has no options for syncing in their browser settings as far as I can tell.

I am currently have similar issue with syncing to yahoo (but I don't have flicker) I have restarted my LG G4 phone and nothing. It was sync about a while ago then just stopped. Did you find a solution? It just stays sync is off and won't let me turn it on.
