I'm trying to sync my email accounts and it keeps telling me "sync error". I have all the information entered correctly. I recently hard reset my phone and not sure why it keeps telling me error. Has anybody ever had this issue?
Yes.
You may want to do a search on this forum or look to the right under More Like This for similar threads. Yes, there are others experiencing e-mail sync issues, different phones and e-mail accounts. What the issue is and related fix seem to be up in the air at the moment, I'm afraid.
Yes, my email had been working perfectly until a few days ago (the email function provided with the Droid Razr Maxx HD)... Now I get a sync error message, and when I respond with requested information it will either tell me the username or password is incorrect, or that the server is not available, or it gives me another sync error message. It did work once after turning it on the other morning, but not since, even after deleting the email accounts and re-entering them. Email works fine on my laptop or with the Yahoo droid app...
I also have this problem with my Droid Razr Maxx HD with the same symptoms and messages described by nkrosby.
Started happening 2 days ago.....
I too have had the exact same issue with my Droid Razr Maxx HD. My yahoo email had been working perfectly for two months after I got the phone, but now it continually gives me sync errors and asks me to re-validate the account and then says my username or password is wrong, even though they are correct and working on the yahoo mail app and on computers.
There are at least four other threads noting similar issues about e-mail syncing, mainly Yahoo and AOL. You may want to try setting your e-mail account up as 'Other' or set Yahoo up as an IMAP account.

I may not be an expert, but it seems that the problem lies with the sign in. Yahoo and AOL use your ID not your email address for sign in. The My Accounts tries to use your email address and gives the incorrect sign in error. after setting up in My Accounts when trying to sign in open settings and enter account name as you would sign in through Yahoo. Or just use the Yahoo email app.
i'm getting this ALLOT and i'm not sure what to do???????
Please read through the posts on this thread; there is apparently a system issue going on with e-mails since it's affecting various phones with various e-mail services (but mostly Yahoo and AOL based on the posts), with some on ICS and some on JB.
Try setting your e-mail account(s) up under Other, or if you have Yahoo, download/install the Yahoo Mail app from Google Play.
It won't sync my hotmail account. How in the heck do you run a business and not have fully functional, equip? Esp when it costs near 600 bucks? that's MY question. Isn't verizon kinda defrauding us? I love my new phone but after this stupid update and not knowing how to turn off vibrate on incoming txt messages, i'm kinda upset.
so if you seem to be such an expert at droids.........can you please tell me how to turn vibrate off on incoming txts tiki? i cannot find anything for the life of me. and i've made sure all correct boxes are checked/unchecked and the sound.....has nothing to do with the vibration. no idea what else to do.
Yes, these workarounds are a pain, but ...
Please read the other posts in this thread regarding the issue. You may want to set up your Hotmail account as an Other account or an Exchange account
TIKI? do you work for verizon??? you should. omg i love you. thanks again!!!! :smileyhappy:
Just saw in your other thread that you have this squared away.

I basically just bookmarked hotmail, and added a quick launch to home page. it works well enough. plus i don't like alot of buzzing, dinging, and etc. so i can CHOOSE when to open my mail. :smileyhappy: U rock Tiki!!! thank you again. my bf thanks you. i was soooo upset. :smileyhappy: nite!
i did (downloaded and installed Yahoo email), i also did it for Google mail, but i also have a second Yahoo account which i put under "email" along with a Verizon account, so I'm not sure how to do this?
Thanks in advance :-)
Have you tried setting them up as 'Other' accounts?
And is that a Maltese in your photo???
go to "text messaging", then into settings,( in the right upper corner) turn it on or off there you can also set ringtones for messages
