Is there any way to change how often the google apps(specifically gmail) syncs?

So, just set up my first Google account (for the sole reason that it works flawlessly with the Hero) so I can sync the calender and my contacts.
But I find it a bit, hmmmmmmm confusing actually and need some help "clearing" things up a bit.
A) I have phone contacts - I use HTC Sync to backup these to Outlook (which I don't use, I only keep it to backup my phone if something happens).
B) I have "My Calender" - I use HTC Sync to backup these to Outlook (ie. the same as above)
C) Now in calender I have:
- My Calender
- [email protected]
- Holidays
- Week Numbers
- Exchange
- Outlook
D) In Contacts i have:
- Google
- Exchange Active Sync
- Phone
- SIM
All I really want is the EASIEST, CLEANEST and BEST way to sync my contacts and my calender.
Questions:
1) How to I "merge" My Calender and my Google calender? IE. sync my "My Calender" entries from the phone, to my Google calender online?
2) Messy thing is, that I use Thunderbird as my email client and the Lightening calender ad-on. How would you suggest I proceed with this?
3) What do I stop using, what do I delete....
ALL I REALLY WANT IS ON FUNCTION TO RULE THEM ALL.....
Just purchased a Streak running Android 2.3.3. I set up my gmail account on phone and everything looked ok. Mail and calendar appear to sync fine but only a few contacts synced. When I open Settings/Accts & Sync, the gmail account shows and sync is turned on.But if I open Contacts/menu/Accounts, gmail does not appear and if I try to add an account, gmail is not present as an option. How do I get the google contacts to sync?
If I remember right you have to go into your Google Contacts on a web browser and move all your contacts into your My Contacts area.
problem solved
I discovered the problem. I had used Root Uninstaller to freeze the Google Sync application at the time I was trying to reduce the apps I didn't think I would need. Now everything in sync. Thanks
I'm currently on Android 4.4.4 -CM11, having the issue of all synced accounts spontaneously disappearing during idle time or at latest after phone is restarted. This happens with all synced accounts (Whatsapp, Viber, Pushbullet etc.) and usually even the services aren't available on list of available accounts to sync. Even the apps fail to link with google account out of the app. Only accounts that don't dismiss from sync are by Google. Is that kind of conflict or something corrupted? I think there must be some big mess because the apps sometimes succeeds to ling to google and sometimes fails.
I tried to remove all google accounts and manually re-add but the issue persists. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi,
after upgrading my phone (THL T6S) to Android 5.0 with official wireless update, the option to sync calendar of Google account has disappeared. I enter configuration -> accounts -> google -> sync and see the options to sync Gmail, Disk, contacts, Google+ contacts, Google fit, application data... but NO calendar at all!
Obviously, the calendar app don't see my Google calendars.
How to fix this? I need my calendar badly!
Thanks!
I have almost finished my transition away from GApps.
I have installed LineageOS without GApps.
I have configured DavDroid to sync the contacts with GMail (yes, I know!)
I have configured K9-Mail to read emails from GMail.
I have not been able to get the calendar app synchronized with Google calendars.
Is there anyone that has an idea on how to do that?
I do fully understand that any method could stop working without any notice.
