[Q] background data and auto sync - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just want to be sure-
background data and auto sync only effect the things i chose right under it? facebook, weather, etc?
if so, does that really even use that much battery? if im having weather synced to update every 3 hours and facebook every 2?

How often does Sense syncs the accounts??

Mmhmm i'm using my hero with a 2.1 + Sense Rom (Cronos 1.7.1) and i have a question.
Sense can sync with Gmail,Facebook,Twitter,Flickr, and Weather.
I think that twitter account is managed by Peep; and the Twitter widget is linked too with Peep.
But.........
How often does the Hero syncs all this stuff??
I have the sync widget (in energy widget) always on, of course.
Thanks.
If you go into setting in twitter you can set the upsdate frequency.
For the rest of the sync items...i dont know im afraid, not sure if you can change the update frequency for contacts etc. (unless you press the sync widget )
Also bear in mind that some task killers will 'kill' the app which stops it from updating.
Im not sure whixh sync widget you have but the one i have needs to be 'pressed' to sync, its not automatic

How to schedule syncs/data

Is there any way to set how often data syncs?
I keep background data on generally speaking - but turn off auto-sync. I only want it to sync with the calendar once a day - and want it to check emails once every hour etc.
I can't find anywhere to set the time interval between auto syncs though - and can't find a suitable app for this either?

gmail sync

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to set gmail to only sync at certain intervals. For instance sync every hour, 2hours, 3hours, etc...
I want to have it sync but would prefer to save battery by having it on a set schedule instead.of constant sync or manual sync. Fir now I just do it manually but would prefer to have a set interval.
is their an app I can get to set this? Maybe even another email app I can have my gmail sync thru instead of the gmail app that would have this option? Thanks for any help
checkout settings/battery & data manager/data saver or data delivery. looks like you can set email and corporate sync.
or you could try settings/accounts/long press your gmail account/open account/ and uncheck sync gmail. and just manually recheck when you want it to sync
couldn't really find an app that does what your looking for, google uses push so you pretty much get the notification asap. if i'm sitting at my workstation with gmail open i tend to get the notification on my phone faster than my browser. you might have to just leave sync off and turn it back on when you want to be notified of new emails
Yeah what I have setup right now((running eclipse 8.1 that has aosp account/sync settings ))
I unchecked autosync and turned off background data.
then when I want to check I just open gmail and press menu>refresh.
I really ONLY read my emails through the gmail app. I don't use the browser version much at all.
I was just hoping someone new of a way I could get it to automatically sync but just every hour or something. O well. Guess ill stick to this method until google integrates that option into gmail app. I sent them feedback asking for the option so here's to hoping im not alone. Thanks.
im sure your not alone, though you might go unheard just because the point of having gmail at the convenience of you phone is to get you your emails no matter where you are. but i'd send google some feedback regardless, even if they don't add that type of feature quickly, google does want to please its audience.

The stock calendar is a pretty good implementation. I like the way it has the different tabs on the side for day, week and month views.
As stated, sync you google account in Settings->Accounts and make sure the Calendar option is checked.
Interesting. I find the stock calendar to be much better than the GMAIL one. If you really dont like it; try Jorte. Whatever calander app you use, you still sync the google content the same way.
Has anyone found away to sync the notes tasks with a Google account?

i've just tried JORTE, MUCH better. at least it sync properly.
HOWEVER, whenever i have 5 appointments int he same timeslot, JORTE only shows the last one. in google calendar, it would would shorten them to show all of them.. anyway i can do this in JORTE?
I think the calendar that comes on the note is FANTASTIC a lot better than any stock or gmail calendar I have seen on Android phones these days.

Auto sync issue

Hello there..
Got the Lenovo A806, and i installed the VIBEUI_V2.0_1501_7.80.1_DEV_A806 ROM and it's Android version 4.4.2 .. yesterday i saw the synce on any account, include Google, is off [with this gray circle and text saying Sync is OFF] and i can only sync it manually by tap, since then i tried many things from online and by trying many phone options for many hours, but the Auto sync is still off and woun't come back..
I did saw many places when they say it's under data usage manu, enabling "Auto sync" option there, but checking thoroughly in my manus i didn't find anything speaking on Sync options, besides SHAREit or SYNCit built in apps which has someoptions but it has nothing to do with, also with many built in apps, theres' this green Security app which is very "control freak" and is all over the place, and it has data usage monitoring thing, so from remembering all the data usage references from the web, along with the fact the Auto Sync stopped from a week ago [So i saw last sync for all accounts was May 28], which is the date i remember i was almost finished all my operator data usage of 3GB, and that Security app gave me a notification and sort of Red Alert about me going to exceeding the limit, so from that i was thinking that it [the Security app] was blocing to auto sync option for reduce data usage or something like that, so i tried to unlock frozen apps and tried to clean it's catch and data from "apps", also playing with the data saver options, same to data "firewall apps", and there's no reset or restore to defaults option, so i think tried everything..
Can someone help please? any ideas why it doesn't Auto Sync any account? include Waze Hotmail an Corporate..
It's very important to me to have it autoSync as for everybody i guess so please someone to help, it will be very much appreciated!
Thanks and have a great day!
