This is a discussion on gmail not syncing.... again... within the Droid X Rescue Squad forums, part of the Droid X Discussion category; so in 2.1, there was a menu if you went to gmail>accounts>account settings. under that, there were a couple of options but one of them ...
so in 2.1, there was a menu if you went to gmail>accounts>account settings. under that, there were a couple of options but one of them was "auto sync gmail" or something along those lines. now with the ota 2.2 update, i can't find that menu anymore nor is my gmail autosyncing anymore. does anyone know where that menu went?

if i go to settings>accounts>gmail acc, it says "sync contacts", "sync gmail" , and "sync" calendar but i don't see an auto sync option. those 3 options are for manual sync no?

I do not think it means these are for "manual sync" but you can manually sync them from this screen. If these items are checked, they will sync as background data at specific intervals (I have never been able to find a setting to determine that interval)...the auto sync function thru the gmail app was eliminated in the 2.2 update - not sure why, all we can do now is view how the data is delivered to the phone...Originally Posted by f3liC
Before 2.2, there was suggestions where you could log into the YouTube app on the phone with your gmail account (either one you were trying to add or one that was not syncing) and for some unknown reason, it would add / sync...you might try that to see if it helps with the sync...

Failure isn't falling down, failure is staying down.
under the screen you're talking about, there are no checkboxes. they're all touch to sync
So in the phone settings - accounts - google - there are not 3 boxes to check / uncheck...if you hit the hard menu key here - does it give you any options...

nope no boxes to check under settings>account>gmail. menu key just gives the options to sync contacts, gmail, and calendar.
Go into gmail - menu key - accounts - data delivery - what is checked there? Did you try logging into "youtube" to see if that would sync?
The removal of the checkmarks must be a change from the leaked 2.2 to the OTA 2.2...I will post a screenshot so you know I am not crazyLOL...
