hey guys,
i just cant find the setting to disable the automatic sync of the gmail app with my account. can some one please help? :-D guess i'm just not seeing it

Okay found it. It's in general phone settings under data synchronize.
... and you can also turn off all syncing by disabling the backgroung data

Is there anyway to use any calendar related features on the Atrix without it syncing to Google? I've searched the internet for answers, searched the device for settings...and I always get the same result. Under Settings > Accounts > Other Accounts heading > "My Google Gmail account" the tick box next to Sync Calendar is UN-ticked. Yet, no matter what calendar app I use, eventually everything shows up online in Google calendars. So I go back and check the tick box and its still cleared. I put a test event online in Google calendars, and in less than a minute it's on my phone. Is there a setting I'm overlooking here?
thanks
Have you tried Calendar(app)>menu>more>calendars ?

Yes, but If I 'un-sync' it there, the whole calendar disappears from phone. I want to use the calendar on my phone, but not have it sync to Google. There's only 3 options there, but not a 'Visible, not synced' option. Only 'not synced, not visible'. The only way i can stop it from going to Google is turn on Airplane mode, but that's pretty pointless, and it just syncs as soon as I turn it off. It doesn't appear that sync settings under accounts do anything on my phone. This is my first Android device, so maybe that's just how it is?
I've searched everywhere and could not find an answer to a very simple question:
How to control frequency of synchronization for Mail/Calendar/Contacts for a Google account ??
For me, they never synchronize by themselves. They sync only by manual request.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Google accounts are push.... normally instantly, are you not getting your info right away?
Settings/battery and data manager/battery mode

Thank you all for the suggestions but nothing works so far.
When I receive a new email in my Gmail account, it does not sync to the phone automatically. When I go to Settings > Accounts > Google, I see "Sync Contacts/Gmail/Calendar" but the last sync time remains the time I sync'd them manually (currently - yesterday).
Settings > Battery > Battery Mode is Performance.
I'm really desperate, as I cannot use my phone for one of main things I wanted it for.
Please help!
PROBLEM SOLVED !
This forum does not allow me to post URLs yet, so I'm copying the solution here:
Sync was apparently turned off via the Power Control widget! This is a really obtuse and unacceptable situation. The only way to turn this back on is to add the widget back to a screen and click on the round double arrow button so that its enabled. This is not at all obvious and I accidentally turned sync off and then removed the widget because I didn't know what the different buttons did (they aren't labeled). That is a bad widget design (obscure) and the fact that sync can not be re-enabled (or even detected that its been disabled) from the system configuration menus is not reasonable. If sync can be turned on & off it should show up under say the Data Manager as a check mark option, it should most definately not only show up as an unlabeled button on an optional widget.
Hello
The stock gmail app does not sync. It does not even push. Have to manual refresh to receive mails. Wots the problem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Settings/Accounts and sync/click on gmail account check that Gmail is ticked.
You prolly have the phone go into power saving mode when the battery drops to 50%.
When it goes into power saving mode, autosync turns off.
If u want autosync most of the time, then change power saving mode to 10%.
Even more funny with mine:
since yesterday 6.30 pm stock email app won´t do anything anymore, not even manual sync. Sync circle stays forever. Worked some minutes before faultless.
Tried to register server newly with my gmail address but green bar stayed forever ........
Clicked "cancel", went back to mail app and mail app told me: "account or password wrong"
It´s now completely dead. Tried to switch off, batt off, clear cache but it is dead .................... Google Gmail app works flawless as well as calendar, docs and all othet google account related apps.
Only thing I dedected: when I look into system - running apps - under Samsung mail app it says "Reboot" ???? (in German NEUstart) ...................
Wonder if anyone has an idea how to solve THIS ?
Am I stupid or what ?
I don´t find the register in the menu where I can SELECTIVELY and ONLY delete the account for the samsung stock email app .......................
Am I blind ?
Just for Info (I´m SOOO stupid)
Open stock mail app, long press on Gmail left upper box, choose "delete".
Then register same account again, voila, it works again ..........
(Found it in a German forum .......................... )
I have probably the same problem, although it could be something different. Teh gmail sync can be turned on under Accounts&Sync menu, but it turns off every time I reboot / turn-off the phone. I am using CM7, but I am not sure if this problem is CM7 related... I have reflashed GAPPS but it didn't help.
am facing the same problem not only my gmail does not sync properly, my whatsapp msgs are coming in really slow. am gonna try to delete the account and sign in again. see if it helps.
In my case deleting account didn't help. It still happens for some reason that the Gmail sync doesn't work and when I go to Accounts & Sync preferences I just see that the Gmail sync dialog box is unchecked. So, then I just check the box and it starts working until it, due to mysterious reasons, stop syncing and I need to repeat the process to start the sync again.
Do you have the battery saving feature enabled and if so check the settings.
Because one of the settings (I don't know which because I disabled the useless thing) disables sync or at least it did on my phone.

I have CM7 ROM and I don't use any other special tweaks or settings. The thing is only gmail stops syncing. When I open the sync settings (Accounts & Sync) I often find gmail unchecked, but contacts and everything else syncs just fine. When I set the gmail to sync, everything works until I restart my phone (I have it turned off overnight...).
Hope it described my problems well enough. I have already tried reflashing ROM, GAPPS, deleting my account, cache and all kinds of things I was able to think of. Nothing helped.
I couldn't find such setting. If you mean wi-fi sleep policy I have it set to never. The thing is Gmail sync box is being constantly unchecked whenever I turn off an on again my cell phone...
Do you know an application to enable/disable synchro of a specific account according to schedule or something like that ?
I found application which disable all account synchro, but not a specific one.
Nobody ?
Nobody ?
Tasker
I've heard of someone using "tasker" to make a schedule for their programs/accounts to sync. It's not free in the market but also you can way more with it than that I'm sure.
Also you could always turn off Auto-Sync and just sync individual accounts by going to each account and syncing it. <--lame.
I see nothing in tasker about that.
I'll ask in tasker topic
Hello, I have using a custom rom ics aosp in my galaxy s2,
i have had the issue that the contacts dissapear from the telephone and become google contacts I have set the contacts application to show phone contacts only.
from time to time i see my list of contacts empty and after digging i found out they were moved to google contacts. I do not want this. I have disabled syncing also as a extreme measure i have disable background data but this doesn't seem to stop this behavior, the only thing i have found to get past this problem is to delete the google account.
is there a hint to avoid or completely disable contacts getting synced to google, there is no individual option to disable contacts sync only.
I hope i made myself clear. thank you

Just a suggestion:
There is an option in settings menu to enable/disable to backup some data to Google servers, such as contacts, wifi settings, etc.
Maybe you should check this option and disable it, if it is enabled.
Settings => Backup and restore => Save/backup my data
Good luck !
Mate if your contacts are geting saved on server then wats the harm..it's gonna help once you change to new phone.. That time you can get your all contacts back in few minuts by log in to your gamil account..however if you still wanna do it then Go to conatct >settings and then disable it from there..perhaps this can help you.
