Sync icon will not go away

[cjriddle22]

So after I updated to the new 2.3.340 the sync icon will not go away, even after it is done syncing. It doesn't really affect anything, just kind of annoying.

Any suggestions?

See screenshots below.

Go to your Gmail (on your phone) and then refresh it there. Have you rebooted your phone?

Try a reboot. If that doesn't work pull the battery for a full 30 seconds.

I did that, and yes I have rebooted multiple times. I took the OTA last night and woke up this morning with the icon still there, did really think about it too much as I had to do a reset to get the OTA. When I got home from work it was still there. I have cleared the cache of everything I could think of, and even used cachemate.

One thing I did notice, when I go to the accounts screen (the one with the check boxes), when I hit the menu key, the only option is to cancel sync... but it's not syncing. I am just trying to get it perfect before I make a backup and start flashing ROMs.

1. im guessing your rooted? 2. What happens if you click cancel sync?

1. Of course. I have forgotten what it is like to be stock. That is why I'm trying to get everything working great, so I can make a nandroid backup of the stock goodness...and start flashing these new ROMs.

2. Nothing, nothing at all. It pretty much ignores my request to cancel the none existent sync.

1. So you are stock at the moment? If your stock then its something that messed up in the update. 2. If your still rooted what ROM?

1. Yes I am still on the stock ROM, but I rooted it right after I updated (z4root).

2. Rooted, but still on the stock ROM. I have not flashed a ROM (or theme) yet.

Tried it. No go. Both the battery pull and multiple reboots.

I know this may not be worth it. But unroot and see if its still there. If it is then something went wrong with the OTA and you can take it to VZW. If its gone when your unrooted then it should it be the same when you reroot again. Or you can make the nandroid backup and hope it works if you ever need to use it and start flashing Roms to see what happens.
