Sync Not Working After Reinstall But Works on Another Device?
You reinstalled the app.
But sync still doesn’t work.
Another device updates instantly.
This is not an account issue.
This device is the problem.
What This Situation Actually Means
If another device syncs, everything is already working.
Your account is fine.
The server is fine.
Only this device fails.
Same app. Same account. Different device — different result.
The Real Cause
Each device runs under its own conditions.
- background activity may be limited
- system controls may still apply
- local settings may interfere
The app was reset.
The device was not.
Why Reinstall Didn’t Fix It
You removed the app.
You installed it again.
But nothing changed at the system level.
The same block applies immediately.
Why It Works on Another Device
That device allows background activity without limits.
No block.
No restriction.
So sync runs normally there.
What This Looks Like
- sync never starts on this device
- another device updates instantly
- no error appears
It looks like failure.
It’s actually a device-level block.
Quick Check
- Another device works?
- Reinstall changed nothing?
- No error message?
Then this device is blocking sync.
Common Mistake
Trying again.
Reinstalling again.
Waiting longer.
None of these change device behavior.
What Actually Fixes It
You must change how the device allows the app to run.
- allow background activity
- disable battery limits
- restart the device
If the device blocks background activity, sync cannot run.
Final Answer
Your sync is working.
Just not on this device.
The app was reset.
The device was not.
Fix the device, or sync won’t work here.
