The sync bar has been on more than off in my status bar and I cannot figure out why. I've tried clearing the data from gmail, yet still nothing.

My iPhone and iPad both alert me to new mail, I check the Sensation and it just has that stupid sync logo in the status bar.

Any ideas how to get the google sync to be more reliable. I'm generally on WiFi or sitting at my desk at work with 3-4 bars 4G.

that means its syncing with something, not necessarily google. could be htc sync, facebook, twitter, weather, qik video chat, google maps/latitude, etc

go to the gmail apps settings and make sure you have the notification on, then go to accounts/sync and make sure that gmail box is checked to sync

It's likely caused by the HTC Sense sync client. It takes a long time to sync as it makes a backup of your Sense configuration settings.

I personally disabled it as I started noticing that I've used a lot of data the first week that I bought this phone.

I also found put that it syncs your contacts and texts. I wish there was a way to disable that. Oh well, started using Cerberus instead to track my phone.
