  1. Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
  2. Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
  3. Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device


Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.


Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
