I have a Nexus One and an A70s.
The A70 doesn't appear to be getting any push updates e.g. email, I have to manually sync/refresh such apps. Ditto with stuff like chrome to phone only works to my N1 and the A70 appears purely 'passive'.
Anyone know if this is an A70 specific issue or a general 'multiple android devices against same gmail account' issue?
cheers
i use my google account on 2 android dev. at same time. no problem.
also i use internet mail with google at the same time. so 3 logins at the same time are no problem.
the archos 101 has an option for background data. look at settings Account and sync. ( i have german soft on my dev. so similar to it) there u should have your google account. tab on it and u may have yur email kalendar and contacts.
there u can aktivate automatic sync. at the previous screen u can also enable sync for google account and all sub posotions.
I hope this was clearly enough.

Hey,
I have two issues and two questions regarding them......
1) I would like to sync the Tasks app. with Google however I do not see Google in the Sync Task profile only my Samsung account.
2) I'd like to sync the Memo app. with Google. It says that I'm not logged in to Google Docs however when I put both my email and password in the login tab does not light up, if I use a different email address it does.
As an added note I also declined a popup from Google about permissions to see what would happen. The window disappeared and nothing did happen!..... At least thats what I thought till now! Not sure how to undo that and suspect that's the problem!
I have also tried to remove my Google account, this only seems possible if you hard reset-which would have to be a last resort for me. I've also been on to my Gmail and Google docs setting via P.C. and am unable to find any setting there that would be affecting these issues.
Any Ideas on how to fix this?
I also have this problem and can not solve it.
I have google docs installed on my phone, but the e-mail address which is registered does not end with gmail.com but a different domain. I can use google docs without a problem but I can not login inside Memo to sync it with my google account.
Any ideas?
I prefer this app. Works great for me http://www.appbrain.com/app/gtasks/org.dayup.gtask

Is very good (I use it a lot)... But doesn't solve the sync of Memo... Any recommendations?
i use document to go for google doc... they work fantastic!
Since there's still no way to sync memo with google, i just use Simple Notepad. Color note sounds good too, it supports online back up and sync but haven't try it yet ...
Im using Mobisle Notes. Is very good, not perfect... But... the best u could find.
Any solution on this problem? I also would like to sync my task and memo with my google account. But when I hit the "Sync task" only Samsung Account is available for sync. When I hit the "Add Account", I can only add Exchange ActiveSync account".
I read in this forum and elsewhere, many have successfully sync their task with google task. I wonder is it really possible to sync stock task app with google task? Maybe it is the bug of my ROM. I am using stock ROM Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Use Google docs ore dropbox

Thanks for the information. But since the Tasks is already available for TouchWiz, I would rather use the built in Tasks app. I think the only way is to configure the Gmail Account as an Exchange ActiveSync account. There is a sample configuration for that in the Internet.
Sorry, you mean Task or Notes is on TouchWiz?
Also, can you post the "There is a sample configuration" you mention?
I would like to see it.
Thanks!
So I am wondering how my new GT will work with my one google account and my Evo.
For example, when I fist started up the GT it asked if I wanted to sync my google account, which I did. I then noticed that it put a bunch of my existing apps from my Evo onto my GT. So I now assume that any app that I have purchased on Evo in my Google account can be installed on my GT & Evo, is this correct?
Are there any disadvantages to using the same google/gmail account on both my GT and Evo? I would hope that using one account on both devices would mesh well and not cause any issues.
I was then also wondering if I should setup a new google/gmail account and leave my gmail account off just in case I let my wife/daughter use the GT. At first I liked the idea of using one account on both but now maybe not, but then I would have to buy all new apps again?
Guess I am just looking for some opinions/ideas on a good way to use both my Evo and GT together.
Thanks
Using one google account between both of your devices won't cause any problem whatsoever. I've been using the same google account on my phone and my tab (first 7" and now 10.1") for about 6 months without issue.
The Android Market (and Amazon App Store) track by both account and by device. I've managed my Evo and two Tabs under the same Gmail account without any issues.
Its the best way to do it. I have a personal email address "****@zakeen.com" that I send through gmail account and I use the gmail program on all my devices.
I was at the airport waiting for someone to come out and I had my phone there, I was writing an email to someone and the person I was waiting for came out, I just turned my phone off. It saves it automatically in the draft folder and later arriving at the hotel I turned my Tablet on and the email I half wrote was on the top of the Gmail account and I just had to finish the last sentence and send it. Did not have to go back to the same device.
Also I think for the future it will be better, like renting movies and that. I dont know much about it but I am sure it will be linked to account then rather device. So you have access to all your things related to your account for easy syncing.
Its all in the cloud. You could have your singular google account synced across as many devices as you'd like I think. If you go to market.android.com you can choose which device you install apps on.
Thanks for the responses everyone, it def seems best to just use one google account. Unless of course you don't want your significant other to see your emails and gtalk messages. Not that I have anything to hide!
Oh yeah, what about GTalk? Will IMs go to both the phone and GT or is that only one login at a time?
You could definitely have IMs go to both devices simultaneously if you're logged in on both.
Hi there
I am on Android since about 2 months, using a HTC Desire S. As I am allergic with Sense, I direclty installed a custom rom, from wich I deleted useless applications to me.
This is when I figured out that deleting Gmail will prevent the calendar to work ("You have no calendars").
So I got connected to my Gmail account from the web (created especially to access the android market), and I noted that my calendar were syncronized, and worst, that all my contacts from the phone were there too.
I am not quite parano, but I'd like to know if there is a way to keep the calendar and contacts only on the phone.
Autosync is disabled on my phone, but it had probably been enabled on the early days, so would disabling the auo sync prevent FOREVER my calendar and contacts to be uploaded to gmail, and manly, is it possible to use the calendar without installing the gmail apk ?
Thank you
Can't tell you about what the sync is doing, because I honestly do not care, so I haven't looked into it, BUT what I can tell you is that the calendar works beautifully eventhough I don't have GMail installed.
Thanks for your information
Well then...
I found somethin' about these apks :
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
But I did not delete them, I can find them on my /system/app/ folder, when I tried to install them it asked me if want to replace it, I said Yes but then I have the report with the green check (as a good thing happened), but next to it it's writtent "Application not installed"...
Well it did nothing I think but this doesn't seem to be my issue, as they are already there.
OK,
What I had to do, is simply go in the "account & sync settings" menu, click on my gmail account (synced off) and then launch a calendar sync...
So this is a force go, if you want to use calendar, you need to sync it at least once.
Quite fair but could be better, even Bada needs a Samsung account to use the store since Bada 2.0...
I purchased a "Sumvision Cyclone Astr+" (ICSv4.0.3) 7 inch Tablet the other week. I love it. I can sit on the couch and surf the web, play games and watch youtube to my hearts content.
However, a couple of little things are bugging me that I would like to fix.
GMail works perfectly, but Google Calendar simply doesn't work. I did some searching and replaced my GoogleCalendarSync.apk as initially I didn't even have the Sync Calendar option in the Accounts. Now I can see the sync option for Calendar, and it does sync (it shows a last sync time) BUT the Calendar simply refuses to find my Google Calendars (I have 3, my personal one, birthdays and UK Holidays)
I have downloaded Jorte and that also fails to find my Google Calendars.
I'm totally stuck, as all info I read said that replacing that apk fixed it for others. I'd like to fix it, just to add that extra little functionality. (Anyone know why the A10 Tablets suffer from this?)
Workaround
Hello,
I ran into the same problem with Google Calender not syncing (I also bought the same tablet from eBuyer), the workaround to getting your calenders to display on the tablet is listed here.
"Add gmail account in calendar as exchange account. Take note
domain\username: gmail\[email protected]
server: m.google.com
on next screen, check only 'sync calendar from this account'"
One other thing that you will also come across is you cannot move apps to the SD card as the tablet splits the internal memory and uses the SDcard mount for internal memory. This is a real pain but I am not sure if this is unique to our tablet or ICS related. Also, the tablet is supposed to come with 1GB of RAM, yet you can also only see 306MB when you go into the system settings.
Oh well. I hope the Calender fix works.
Hi everyone,
I'm using CM9, but I tried different ICS roms and I encounter this problem with all of them.
- I'm trying to add a local phone (non gmail) contact to my phone, but it doesn't let me do that. When I add a new contact, a message box pops up saying, that: "Your new contact will be synchronized with <my gmail account>". How to add a local phone (not a SIM card) number?
- I have a backup of all my local phone numbers from GB made with MyPhoneExplorer, and restoring it works when I'm on ICS. The contacts are shown as local phone contacts (PCSC). However, after restarting the phone and waiting a few minutes, all the local contacts are completely gone. MyPhoneExplorer confirms that there are no contacts in the phone either. What's going on?
I really do not want to sync my contacts with google. Looking forward to hearing some answers!
Cheers!
I use CM9-alpha4 (i9001) and it works for me.
I did completely turn of "accounts and sync" and I also didn't flash gapps.
When I first created a new contact I was notified that it will be local and not synced. No problem there.
I'm using the CM9 9-20120614 version (the newest beta). I have Accounts and Sync on, since I want some stuff synced with my phone (facebook, linkedin, gmail calendar, etc.). And I experience the beforementioned problems...
I fiddled with the options but found nothing that would allow me to store my contacts locally and prevent the existing ones from being deleted
There is an issue in the Bugtracker:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26834
You could also use some other account that doesn't sync with Google. Funambol[0] would be my choice.

Thanks for that link.
However, I'm not sure, how is that cloud solution about to help storing my contacts locally without sharing it with any 3rd party?
You have to assiciate your contacts with some account. The funambol client creates such a "account provider" for you. But I just tried it and it seems like the client always wants you to sync with some server. You could set up your own server but that might not be what you want.
Sorry I can't really help. There is another thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27747450
Alright, thanks a lot for your replies! Sigh, I guess I will just stick with google contacts for now -_-

Thanks! I will test it soon, although I have already moved my contacts to Google's cloud. Also, will this fix prevent me from synching google contacts? If so, it's more of a workaround than fix.
It breaks contact syncing deliberately. If you want to keep that while enabling local storage of contacts you need to edit the contacts.apk . I initially decompiled it and identified the line of code that enables or disables the local option.
