I run MLO pro on my Windows computer and on my Android phone. I made changes on both and now my phone is stuck in synchronization mode. I reinstalled MLO on my phone and let the sync go over night but it's still stuck after 8 hours. Help!

Sorry, forgot to mention that this is with cloud sync.

I was able to fix the issue. I exported my windows MLO tasks to back them up, then deleted all tasks from my windows and Android MLO environments. I then synced both environments to the cloud to clear out the cloud. Then I imported the backup into the Windows MLO and synced both environments to pull the tasks back in.

Strange. I am having the same problem. I have so far uninstalled/reinstalled a couple of times on my phone but no luck.
If this latest attempt doesn't work I'll try wiping the data and starting over.
I have to say the sync on this app is a bit of a shocker. I seem to be having constant problems with it. The tech support is great but must be kept very busy with sync issues.

That's strange. My experience has been that the sync has been  consistently reliable, better than most apps in my experience. ( I'm referring to the cloud sync and haven't  used Wi-Fi sync). Perhaps I have a more standard device and than you do?

Are you creating a new cloud file when you wipe your install?

Also, think about your system parameters. Is there anything that could be interfering? For example, last week I had what I thought was a MLO data corruption bug. Suddenly all my tasks would be 109 days out of date . This had happened once before and I thought I had tracked it down . After writing up a big bug report, I discovered that syncplicity was overwriting it with an old version that hadn't been updated for 109 days, which happens to be when I got my new laptop. It wasn't MLO at all.

I eventually got a working system happening by dumping all files and cloud sync files (I use 3 devices) . Then started again with new files. I lost a bit of data but it could have been worse. The annoying thing is the time spent. The last time I had to redo it all (Jan this year) the phone app was suddenly chewing CPU and uploading 20 times its normal daily data. Didn't take long to go thru the Mthly limit.
I guess at the end of the day it is pretty cheap. Though the $'s for the sync service is heading towards the edge of good manners.
