Fix for Sync Problem {username case issue}
-
Hope this helps your sync problem
MAKE SURE when you are logging in sync settings that your user name is not case different. i.e. my username "symson" allows email access if I log in with "Symson" or "symson". Sync settings allow either also, but if one has a cap and the other device does not; no errors appear, but no syncing will take place. I very frustratingly fought with sync issues until I figured this out. Submitted a bug report.

@Symson Iβd argue itβs a bug it works without capitalizing the first letter. You should always use your username exactly, nothing else.
S
ands
have different Unicode codepoints after all. -
@luetage The mistake was all mine. I generally would type in using a capital, but, to my error, my password manager was using all lower case.
However, Vivaldi (web, mail, logins, services etc.) should most absolutely be consistent on how it handles case sensitivity. It is NOT consistent. I'm 100% sure that is unintended on their part. I'm 100% sure this is causing more people problems than just myself.

Thank you so much, that saved my day!
This trick works and I agree that Vivaldi should do something about this by forcing case-sensitive login I guess. -
This resolved my sync issue accross my windows tablet and android phone

Same here a few days ago.

This also resolved my sync issues! Thank you so much. I think what confused me most is that I saw my little avatar show up in PC and Android so I thought that when I logged in as "changston" everything was fine and it wasn't case sensitive. But it was.
Anyway, thank you very much Symson. Really appreciate it!
