I dont know why it does, but sometimes it just starts up after ive closed it, both with its own x button, and by ending the task in the htc-x-button, i see it come back on.
I doubt its using much if any of my system resources, but id still like it to stop.
any insights?
Install Dotfred's Task Manager
Got to the notifications tab and find repllog.exe, there should be a few of them. Disable the one with the argument AppRunAfterTimeChange and active sync shouldn't pop up again.
thanks, did what u said...heres hoping it works
Start>settings>phone>services>time synchronization ...click GET SETTINGS, then uncheck the box, and BAM no more Active sync auto start.

OK, so I am syncing my Hero with all my Google stuff and it uses push to do so.
I was wondering how I switch that off and select a sync interval (a bit more like activesync) and if that might have a positive effect on battery life.
Thanks
There's an app for that!!
Only got my Hero a couple of days ago, but I think that application you want is Locale.
It has a plugin for sync and another for SMS.
You can do some pretty cool stuff with it.
I currently have it set to disable syncing between 23:00 and 07:00 if my GPS position is at my house. That way if I'm still out on the razz I'll get messages and updates.
Just make sure you setup the default to do the reverse of whatever you setup otherwise it might not start syncing again.
Hope that helps.
Rob
I will have a look into that thanks.
A quick look suggests it might actually be much more than I need though!
check in settings > data synchronisation > google
there you can set it on or off, but you would need an app from the market to set intervals.
You might find settings like that in Settings - Data Synchronisation
Remember the Menu button is ever changing, so check what options it gives in each selection - I've found lots of stuff hiding that way...

Good Advice!
You can get extra options on many things by tapping an holding on items as well. That is always worth a try!
Hi Heroes
Did you ever have trouble syncing your Hero with your PC? No connection with HTC sync? Only usb connection and access to the SD card? Maybe you got no connection at all? HTC sync couldn't find the driver... Or you actually used to be able to sync, but you can't anymore?
Well, I know how annoying this can be There are a few things you might wanna try. They worked for me...
a) Get HTC sync and install the drivers.
Windows 7 users (like me) will get an additional challenge, but it is doable IF you read this this thread (entirely!)
Remember the HTC Hero sync tab in the notification area trick (mentioned by #19 Magnus in the above thread).
Also remember #7 Daniel Kruschinski comment on restarting the phone.
b) Now, why create my own topic if every answer can be found in this thread? Simple: I DON'T WANT TO RESTART MY PHONE EACH TIME I HAVE TO SYNC!
Question:
Sync works after phone restart (if drivers are installed properly), but stops working after a while... why?Answer:
Because the HTC sync app (called "PC synchronization" or similar) ON THE PHONE stopped working.Question:
Why did the application stop working?Answer:
Because a) it shut down on its own (bug or whatever), or because b) you killed it with a app like Advanced Task Killer (ATK) in order to try to free some memory because your phone was being sluggish...Question:
Why not simply restart that app by going to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Synchronization" - "Sync with PC", since this IS the app?Answer:
...because it doesn't work! You can restart the app after it died, and it will show on ATK, but the syncing WILL NOT work. Weird, but that's the way it is...Question:
So what do I do?Answer:
Don't kill it! Oh, and by the way, if you use ATK, unchecking HTC sync in the program WILL NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH!: ATK will still kill it (!).
You HAVE TO add it to the "Ignore List" in ATK in order to keep it running (long press on the app in the list, then choose "ignore"). Strange, but true... This only applies to HTC sync, as far as I can tell. Don't ask...
A few more things, while we're at it:
- If the events of the calendar OF THE PHONE don't transfer to your Outlook calendar or your Google calendar , read this thread to know why (jr2408 's post).
why, WHY did they do that? Why can't you merge the calendars? Why can't you change the event's calendars after having entered them? At least, the phone remembers your calendar event settings... Uff!
- Here are a few apps you might want to install. They are free, and they are really usefull:
Advanced Task Killer free:
Allows to free memory by shutting down unused background apps. Removes sluggishness - awesome! Remember to use the ignore list for apps like HTC sync and TouchFLO
Quick Uninstaller:
Makes uninstalling apps a one-click operation. Cool!
Y5 - Battery saver:
Fantastic! Turns off the phone's wifi when you're not close to your (or a chosen) Access point. Remembers location by GPS tracking and thus saves you A LOT of battery energy. Try it, really...
3G Watchdog:
Keeps you informed of your Data connection rate (on 3G network, not wifi) and warns you when you reach a certain value. Very useful for those who don't have free unlimited transfer...
aTrackDog:
Keeps your software updated, even if it doesn't come from Android Market.
ASTRO:
An explorer which lets you manage your files.
Barcode Scanner:
Obvious...
Shazam:
Recognizes songs by listening and finds info on the Web. Impressive!
Wifi Analyzer:
Helps you spot the most appropriate Access point if several are in the area...
Sky map:
Helps you identify stars in the sky. Powerful!
AND:
Robo Defense (addictive!); Mario Simulator (laughing guaranteed); OI Flashlight (a "where is the #@! keyhole"-killer); Metal detector (eat that, I-phone braggers!)
If you got cash, don't forget CoPilot for GPS navigation, which allows to DOWNLOAD entire maps and store them on your SD card.
Et voilà! Comments welcome, recommended apps, advices... You tell me!
Questions are welcome, but answers are even more. Share!
Very useful post
very nice thanks!!!!!
My Hero doesnt detect the HTC sync on my Vista. I have never been able to sync with PC. I dont want to sync with PC as sync everything with google. But I need to sync with HTC sync for ROM upgrade. I have tried everything. I tried disablling the antivirus and firewall, put the program on teh Firewall exception list but nothing happnes. says that phone cannot detect HTC sync on computer. I hav downloaded the latest HTC sync from the HTC site. Any suggestions?
Hi all,
This is a little hello from me to you all. Like you all I've had problems with HTC Sync, unable to connect my HTC Hero, which I've only had for three weeks, but it seemly like a long time due to the problems I've had with HTC Sync and time I spend getting it to work with Outlook...
Anyway, I've read a lot of information here and externally i.e. google.com searches. I'm glad to say I've managed to HTC Sync to work..
This is what I did....Oh! I have a Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, I GUESS this might work with any other installation of Windows, but not sure about Windows 7. If this works, please post here so people have one place to go to find the answer.... cheers.... and good luck!
1) Downloaded Andriod SDK, this was to allow debug USB connection. You can find it here.. http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r05-windows.zip
2) Downloaded HTC sync version 2.0.33 (http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=933)
3) As I use my Ipod to sync music, I found Apple also installed Mobile device software, I uninstalled this.
4) Reviewed all software that related to USB and mobile devices and there were a few.... including my trusty HTC Diamond..., UN-installed them all...
5) Rebooted my laptop.
6) Installed SDK to C:\ASDK, then set-up Environment Variable to point to ;C:\ASDK\android-sdk-windows\tools, this is thanks to someone who posted this information on the web...sorry I can't find the reference, but here is my Kudos to you!
I rebooted my laptop...
7) I then installaed HTC Sync, but prior to the install, I stopped Anti-virus software (AVG), disabled my firewall.
8) Did another reboot.
9) Once my laptop was up and running.. ensured my firewall was disabled and disabled AVG, connected my Hero (baby) noticed Windows installed the USB drivers
10) Once the installed was completed, HTC Sync, did not see the phone, now I was pretty pissed at this point, however I wasn't going to give...
11) Whilst my phone was still connected, I decided to power it off and left it off for about 20 seconds.
12) Powered my Hero back on... and then that was it.... Windows found the phone not just USB, HTC Sync, noticed the Hero was connected and started the installation of the drivers, this took a bit of time... do be cool and wait...
12) HTC Sycn, status, conected baby, yeah!....
I setup what I wanted to sych, Contacts, calendar etc. and clicked on sync on the PC....
And it was great seeing this happen....
I hope this bit of information help someONE or someTWO at least... I know how much time I spent on this and if I can help save someONE or TWO save sometime - WoW It make me feel goooood....
Please post if it helps or if it don't...
Cheers and good luck to all
Right click "START". i was having troubles for hours even after all this reading get fed up. Press right click to delete HTC SYNC seen "START" and it went str8 to installation. let tha root begin!!

I am trying to use your method... but I don't quite grasp the meaning of point 6 (sorry for being such a noob, but I am at point of tears as I bough the Hero a few days ago as my first smartphone and now everything that can go wrong during freeing it into better phone, is going just wrooong).
So were do I set this C:\ASDK\android-sdk-windows\tools at? my PC? My SD card? How exactly I do it?
Thanks people for all the post, really... just at the beginning is quite overwhelming

Thanks for the post.
I have a question for you guys that it is bugging me... why do you need sync? i've never used it so i don't get its purpose.
Thanks!

To be honest I don't know, but apparently it's necessary for installing ROM (following the steps from THE guide). I want to make sure it's working so that I won't get stuck with this problem in the middle of ROMing...
but later today I found my software is not up to date, but for some reason my phone errors with the phone+red triangle screen on, so I cannot update, without it I cannot properly root (even though the Universal Androot says it's rooted), and can't do anything. I am stuck at the moment, and plan to visit some store that claims they can do it for me... I feel disappointed and angry.:crying:

How do i turn off notifications from ebay that items are ending early? 6am this morning 'ding', 6.20 'ding'
I going to have a psychotic episode for lack of sleep
Put your phone on silent!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah i'd worked that one out, thanks
Was hoping there was a way to turn them off totally that i hadn't found.
I never got them on my iphone, and i don't remember them on 1.6, although i didn't have it installed long.
Settings / Sound and Display / Notification sound maybe?
I go to Settings > Applications > Running Services i then see Ebay notificationService, if i click on that i get a warning 'the serivce will not run until clicked on again This may have undesirable concequences for the installation what the hell does that mean? I know it would be easy to uninstall and re-install but i hate doing that as it just leaves junk on your drive.
Just open the eBay app you have, go to settings and there will probably be something about notifications. Turn it off. Or uninstall the app.

Sarcasm? I gave you an answer that would fix your problem.
I'm guessing you have either the official 'eBay App' (in which case Menu > Settings > uncheck the Notifications box) or you have the 'Pkt Auctions eBay' (then open the app, press settings, uncheck Bidding alerts and Watching alerts).

Read no:5 above
I'm not going to repeat myself again, i have given you the solution but for some reason you are ignoring it.
Forcing the notification process to close via the 'Running Services' (post no.5) is completely different to turning it off via the settings menu in the application. Forcing it to close probably will have undesirable consequences for the eBay app (e.g. Force Closes) until you restart it, because it's not supposed to be forced to close (It will also restart every time you run the app, completely defying the point of even doing it). Turning it off via the app's settings is safe and will stop the notification from reappearing.
Instead of being arrogant, please listen to the advice people give you.

It sounds like you have a program open that is trying to pull your location like Google maps. Download advanced task killer from the market and kill all your open applications. The app is free.
don't need

You actually don't need a separate task killer app. If you open the APP tab, (the one that shows all of the apps), there is a tab there that says "Running Tabs." Then you will see another tab that says "stop all running applications".
Additionally go into your settings and you will find a section to turn on/off the GPS.
and there is always factory reset to fall back on !

Good tip. Since I bought my tab I have used some of the same apps from my phone and just added them over. I'll have to check it out when I get home.

I believe the only way to have that flashing is by having the GPS activated in Settings --> Location & Security. Are you actually using GPS on your tablet?
If not, just go to Settings --> Location & security and turn off all 3 of the checkboxes located there. They are:
Use wireless networks
Use GPS Satellites
Use location for google search
I personally never leave those on myself. Try deactivating those and you should never see that problem again.
Thank you guys for the solutions, Problem solved.
Let's collect our discovered bugs of this device. Here are mine:
Default Launcher setting is lost upon reboot. In my case I set Hypersion as default, reboot and the setting is gone. I have to reset and sometimes eben force close the stock launcher or I will still end up on stock when I go back from an app.
GPS coordinates are often wrong in exif of taken photos.
Android Auto freezes as soon as the phone goes into standby.
9gag stays empty and needs to be closed if it was in background.
Google Photos is super laggy due to scoped storage limitations in Android 11. Especially while deleting pictures. Maybe not an device specific issue.
Gboard overlays on places it shouldn't, in any app, only way to fix is to close the app completely.
Game Space app resets everytime I restart my phone, additionally, unhides games, meaning I've gotta flick the switch each time.
Oppo App Market, when I update a app and press install, the install prompt repeatedly refreshes even if the apps installed successfully, only resolve is to close the app completely, and refresh the update page.
Notification panel stays grey even with enhanced dark mode.
App drawer cannot be customized at all, not even row layout.
Swipe up gestures seem to have a hang when swiping up from the centre, also affects keyboard too.
UI glitches in certain apps.
Oppo App Market now persistently requests read app usage permission.
File Manager has a hang upon opening varies between 1-4 seconds.
Microphone volume on social media applications is ridiculously low.
I realize that app drawer customisation & notification panel colour, aren't bugs, however they're very annoying.
Where do we report bugs to Oppo? Cant find it anywhere
Pressing "Close all" disconnects Garmin watch, as it seems to shutdown Bluetooth in the process. Reported to Oppo. No response.

It does not shutdown Bluetooth but the plugin app that is running in the background and is needed to communicate with the watch. Same thing with Samsung active plugin - when I hit close all I get a notification that the plugin restarted itself.

I just sent them an email to their Australian support email address.
There are plenty in the Color OS 11 update. Here's another one... Using "Keep screen on while charging" in Developer Options to circumvent the annoying Android Auto issue, and Navigation pops up with no way of canceling it, even after the phone is disconnected from USB. The only way to get rid of this notification is to restart the phone. Oppo really shouldn't have pushed such a buggy update without proper testing.
Edit... Seems this bug doesn't even need to have android auto activated, just charging via my car's USB port will trigger the navigation bug. Any way to rollback to Android 10? More problems than this is worth.

Don't know about that but personally I don't see any reason to ever hit "close all" in the first place.
Good evening from France to the whole XDA community!
I have a problem on my Oppo Find X2 PRO: it often happens that when I call or someone calls me, no sound is picked up by the phone when I speak. My caller can't hear me.
I wonder if this is related to the use of a Bluetooth device (my speaker, my headset) before?
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, how did they solve it?
I would add that a simple reboot is enough to correct the problem...
