This seems to work for me aswell! Thank you so much.
Hi. Basically I ran the updater again (Apps/(ALL)Fairphone Updater/⌠and as it was installed already the only thing I missed on the installation time was to press the red banner about GoogleApps. All seams to be back to normal.
Hope it helps.
Thanks Stefan

Re-running the Fairphone 1.8.7 updater did not work. Do not do this if you already have push notifications working temporarily!
It actually broke push notifications again, and this time the Google Play services reinstall does not fix it. Bummer.
The SL Push Tester app works fine. The WiFi icon is blue. But no push notifications come through for Gmail.

I followed the instructions on http://www.inspyreit.com/2013/08/fix-for-no-active-devices-error-in-android-device-manager/, after another reinstall of the update and the gapps.
For now, android device manager works again, and I also receive push notifications from Gmail
Hello! I have the same problems and many more⌠I wrote an e-mail to the support many days ago, but no reply⌠So: Sync of my contacts/calendar etc. stopped working even before the latest system update. All my contacts and calendar entries got lost after the update (Kola Nut 1.8.7). Canât import them from the cloud although sync is activated. Password is correct! Deinstalled and recreated the Google account several times. Made the system update a second time, didnât change anything. Canât download any apps because of the storage problem. (So my mail app doesnât work any more anyway. And I already had to delete several important apps because of the alleged lack of storage.) Canât do the repartitioning of the storage because I canât make a backup of the phone because my computer canât âseeâ the phone (I already tried several USB cables). Iâm rather desperate and really donât know anymore how to solve all these problems⌠PLEASE help me!!! 
Thanks.
The trick with the Labels worked for me (my wifeâs phone). 
In our case only the âsent mailsâ-label were synchronized⌠
Re-running the Fairphone 1.8.7 updater did does work after all⌠sort of.:
Afer reinstalling the 1.8.7 Fairphone update using Stefanâs method above the Gmail interface may display the messaging sync for an email account as ticked: In âSettingsâ âSync Gmailâ is ticked. âDays of mail to syncâ may show the previous setting (â30 daysâ in my case). So, I thought all was set, but no, after touching âDays of mail to syncâ it showed no sync! (I am 99% sure of this but it all got very confusing!). So after reinstalling 1.8.7 and Google apps, rebooting, and installing a Google+ update, and checking that âDays of mail to syncâ is set⌠push email now works.

Finally⌠My phone seems to be a smartphone again, yippieh! I managed to do a backup by using an SD card, then did a hard reset and the storage partition upgrade. It was a lot of work and waiting and numerous restarts etc. ⌠and of course all my settings were gone. Also, when I wanted to restore everything, the phone didnât find the SD card! But after another restart, it went well. Now everything works again, including the sync, and I can download new apps! Thanks to Luc from the support team.

I can confirm this behaviour after the 1.8.7 update
What have been done:
- install update
- install gapps
- clear cache
no automatic gmail sync work even if google account indicate sync is on.
I can acces my email/calendar/contact but I had to refresh them manually.
Reseting sync days in âGmail/manage labelsâ and then set it back to â30 daysâ works for a few times but then mail sync stops again.
Sync/push with other non-google apps work perfectly (like k9mail)
Any one with a stable solution ?
Not sure whether my problems were caused by the same issue that others are experiencing, so YMMV. Iâve started from fixing ADM not working, rather than push notifications not working, but in the end both problems were gone. What Iâve done is followed instructions that are basically identical to those posted :
Which fixed ADM for me (my primary goal). After this I still had a lingering issue with push notifications, which for me disappeared after toggling âSettings > Data usage > [menu key] > Auto-sync dataâ off and on again. I havenât had any issues after this (around a week) or after a reboot. It probably doesnât hurt to disable auto-sync before following the instructions above and enabling it again just before the reboot step - but I havenât tested this.
Macbook Air, Mac OS X version 10.7.5.
Thanks!
