This might sound like silly question, but I couldn't find auto-sync setting on my XT910. Last week I upgraded it to the official 2.3.6 update, and today after installing a battery saving app, suddenly I didn't receive any email at all for the whole day, the new emails could only show up when I tapped refresh manually in the Gmail app, I decided to uninstall that problematic app but the issue still persisted, so I tried to look for the Auto-sync setting but I couldn't. I have a Galaxy S II too and I know so well that the setting in question is in "Account and Sync", but in my RAZR, there's only "Account" which doesn't contain Auto-sync checkbox, I looked for in "Data manager" as well, but there's only "Background data" checkbox. Up until now new emails still aren't being pushed to my RAZR, I really suspect that the app turned off my Auto-sync and didn't turn it back on.
Could anyone please help me? It's driving me nuts
P.S.: the culprit app is Easy Battery Saver, also FYI I didn't apply any mod to my RAZR, only updated to 2.3.6 as offered by Motorola
settings->account->[email protected]> sync docs, contacts, gmail, calendar are all inside.
P.S. Juicedefender is more stable.
Hi, I had tried that before, but somehow the checkboxes on the right have disappeared
please help

There's ways of doing it using the 'Activities' shortcuts offered by the likes of ADW & LauncherPro, but you can also use Smart Actions to disable background data, then enter the market. It'll pop up saying background data needs to be enabled, and take you right there.

Hello all,
So I hate repetitiveness in the UI so I have swapped the dedicated VM button with an "goto/initiate SMS" button. We already have a voicemail button by pressing or dialing one why do we need two?

Glad to see you around here
very cool.
Any chance you can make the dialer numbers scalable as well? (for alternate DPI?)
Forcing the log button to stick on what you want logged would be great too. Right now, if you hit log or the press the green phone button, you get a log of all calls and SMS messages. You can switch it in the menu but it reverts right back to log all. I loved how my cappy would show you logs of just the phone calls made/recieved.
Nice + 1 setimg up now

Hate to ask but how do i install this? I tried uninstalling contacts in titanium backup and restarting first, but when I tried to install the apk it just said "not installed", I do have unknown sources allowed in settings.

Place it in system/app (to replace the existing one) via root explorer (and fix the permissions to match everything else in the folder, rw-r-r).
Is this for stock?

This does not work on a stock/rooted phone. Maybe on a custom rom but pushed it on a stock phone and the SMS button takes me to voicemail.
I got my Galaxy S II today as my first android phone, but I don't have unlimited data.
Is there anyway for me to turn off auto refresh for things like the weather widget, gmail, facebook, ect...or make it so that it only refreshes on wifi? I went into settings and found "auto sync" and "background sync", but i only see "facebook", and "google" :/
I'm on 2gb and don't have any problems running over on data. As long as you aren't streaming a lot you should be fine (unless you are on the 200mb plan). I use weatherbug and set the refresh rate to 1hr. Gmail is still push and it uses minimal data. I have google voice running all the time too.
Just keep an eye on the data for a while until you know how much you actually use. Use 3g watchdog or mydatamanager from the market
Facebook will be right there to disable. Background data being disabled should stop some data use when the phone is asleep. For gmail there is a setting in the gmail app. Most apps that sync will have a setting.
Juice defender has a way to block all data use when the screen is off. Be careful though, most "task killers" cause slower performance and can decrease battery life. In general stay away from anything that auto kills apps.

Okay thanks. (how do I "thank" on this forum?...) But i still can't find how to stop or limit push emails in the gmail app... theres a "turn off notifications" thing, but I'm not sure if it stops the email from downloading too...
If you disable auto sync, everything under your gmail account on the sync settings page will be disabled.
If you just want to stop gmail:
Settings/accounts and sync/manage accounts/sync gmail

Maybe there isn't a setting in the gmail app. If you go to settings, accounts, Google and uncheck gmail I think that will make your gmail manually sync only when you refresh in the app.

Just installed XXLP2 ice cream goodness and I was trying out the live wallpapers.
My favourite was solar winds and I hadn't used it for a while so I set it as the wallpaper.
A pop up advert appeared and a search icon was put on my home screen, but more sinister than that, my default homepage in the browser is changed and I can't change it back. No root was required but this default page cannot be changed ! I'm raging with the developer now as AOI Studios were usually very good quality LW.

This is what I see when I go into browser settings. I have already uninstalled LW but it did not change this back to default.
I can set a homepage which is put into the "other" category but the default remains this.
Please can u help

well, but I think you tried everything there already ... hm, did you try to clear the browser cache and delete the settings?
I have tried clearing browser cache, setting homepage but it just goes into other and resetting to default from browser settings.

this is very stange. I searched on some developer boards and it seams like there is no direct way to set the start page from an app; some say it only works from within the browser via JavaScript.
oh well ...
K, thanks for the help
I have figured it to an extent. I can't customise the "default" homepage but I can get it back from what the rogue app changed it to.
I went into Settings/Apps/All/Internet
and cleared the data of the app. This successfully changed the default back to google but it also removes any added bookmarks. I haven't been able to use the new sync feature of the bookmarks yet.
Thanks for your replies
Hmm...you're not out of the woods yet.
Have you seen this yet? which leads to this...
you still have work to do.... Sorry to be the bad news bearer but until you get rid all that "add ons" they'll hi-jack your setting again.
Good luck
I have 3 email accounts configured all with peak times set to 08:00am - 11:00pm 7 days a week (I'm retired) with sync set to MANUAL otherwise. It seems that GMAIL ignores these settings waking me up at night with email notifications (for junk mail! 01:00am and 05:59am this morning!) I don't see any settings for Google's data sync features. Just on or off. (Calendar, Contacts, etc.)
I need to keep the phone on for emergency calls but want it to be silent for text or email notifications. Seems to work with YAHOO and HOTMAIL??
Apps I find silence the whole phone.... not just email or text notifications.
Thanks!
Edit: didn't read all of post. Go to gmail->settings->click your email address->then disable notifications

That's great for gmail, but I'm sure the OP is asking about the stock mail app. I too would love this, I have my peak time set and manual sync during off peak, but I also get email notifications all night. I think I may have to setup one of my nfc tags to mute notifications and stick it next to my bed so I can mute them when I go to sleep and unmute them when I wake up just by tapping the tag.
I want notifications during the day!!!

Mbaseball3,
Thanks for the link however it states in the description for ICS 4.0 "Phone only profiles will not work!!"
There was however a user comment who used an app called "Llama" that looks promising.... I'm going to try it....

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution
