My Xperia S syncs stuff after every couple of minutes, and during the sync process it becomes super duper laggy. How should I decrease the rate at which it syncs stuff from various accounts and is there any solution to the gigantic lag that follows the sync process ?
Pretty normal that it lags when syncing many accounts.. Try to change the refresh rate in the app thats syncing.

Trying different data monitoring appliocations and i noticed that it drains like hell... in 10 minutes more than 10 MB!
nothing is working in background except
- Weather widget,
- Facebook widget,
- in addition to Email and Whatsapp.
Even email is syncing only once per hour? (gmail is disabled)
So are these data number correct? what's going on??
Maybe Market Updates.
i dont know , i am trying many monitoring applications to check application is doing so ... but seems market is the most... doesnt it stop when u close it with a back button!!!
It doesn't. Its a core android service.

It's prolly and app you have in the background or maybe your market is set to automatically update apps.
I'm @ 150 MB for 10 days of use. I only have the Weather widget pulling data. 2 Gmail accounts with auto sync enabled. Market is set to notify for updates but not to update apps autmatically. Watched a 5 min youtube clip. Check facebook and twitter 10-15 times a day. Uploaded approx 7 facebook photos. Check pulse and xda 5-10 times daily.
The usage above is only when I'm on data. I did not include anything I've done over WiFi.

thank you, it is very similar setup to what i have... could the monitoring applications go wrong?
I noticed some horrible battery life (about less than 9 hours) on my phone, and suspected that Motoblur had something to do with it. 4G, bt, wifi, and gps were not on the entire day.
I did a quick search and saw people complaining that the Social Networking app can be a battery drainer. Have you guys noticed anything?
I set it to one hour sync for now (instead of the default - push), and we'll see how it goes tomorrow. But if that's the case, do you know if I can remove those accounts completely, but still have Facebook and Twitter account information linked to the contacts with their own apps?
9 hours is honestly ok
You can remove any accounts you want and the phone will function fine. My phone lasts like 12 hours with medium use and 6 and a half with heavy usage.

Not really, i constantly check my battery usage and Social Networking has always stayed low on the list. I also have mine set to 1 hour update increments. I was interested in removing all motoblur parts but was disappointed to find that androids Facebook app does 'not' sync pictures to contacts and such and doesnt contain an option. If there is a way to do this, i'd like to know as well. What you can do if your rooted is allow moto's social networking to tag all of your contacts with pictures, then backup your contacts with Titanium. At that point you can remove you accounts, restore through Titanium and have your pictures on your contacts with your facebook account unlinked. Granted, this obviously wont work for new friends you would acquire.
I would just put up with it till someone releases a rom with stock android if you really dislike motoblur. Hopefully that will happen soon, as that seems to be what most people are wanting.
What'll drain more battery, the Samsung e-mail app on push 24/7 (with a single Gmail account), or the Gmail app with sync?
only one way to really find out since every ones phone behaves differently, try each one over two or three days.see how each one goes.
If you use the email app and set sync to just a few hours instead of a few minutes you may find that it uses less juice than gmail (you can also set gmail to sync less often)
If you choose to use one rather than the other don't forget to freeze the other app as they are system apps and will continue to run in background even if they are unconfigured

How do you change gmail to sync less often?
Thanks
The drain is not that bad, I always have mine on normal sync and drain is expected but not as bad it it seems using Gmail app.
I use Exchange on the Samsung App and that drains battery as there's a bug in the source code but not sure how that affects POP3/Imap.
It's a smartphone at the end of the day just enjoy it and charge nightly
Email App Error
Hi,
I am facing an error with my email app. Since i upgraed t GB 2.3.6 the app wont mark messages as read as soon as it is read. If i open the gmail app and mark a mail as read, then after a few minutes the email app also marks it as read, else stays as unread. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
I have folder sync and I like the app. It keeps my stuff on phone in sync with my cloud storage (box, dropbox) without the need to upload it manually. The app is kinda neat. I ran into an issue re the app when I used the advanced feature and set the sync schedule , that is, 3 times a weekat 1am. I noticed that the app was contnuously syncing the folders and my phone will freeze and become unresponsive or sometimes will boot up on its own. This also consumed a lot of battery.
Im wondering if anyone has run into this issue?
Thanks.

I've tried both FolderSync and Titanium Media Sync (TMS). I use a one-way sync from phone to PC via FTP. Here are some pros and cons of each:
FolderSync Pros:
maintains timestamp of file
FolderSync Cons:
overwrites files that haven't changed on phone
no support
instant sync feature doesn't work
TMS Pros:
syncs efficiently and accurately
TMS Cons:
doesn't maintain timestamps
can't sync to both laptops simultaneously
no support
Since the issue of FolderSync repeatably uploading files to PC that haven't changed is intolerable, I've disqualified it. The cons of TMS are not nearly as serious so I continue to use it and overall am quite satisfied with it. I would rate FolderSync a 1 and TMS a 4 on a scale of 1-5. BTW, I've requested bug fixes from both developers, but neither has chosen to fix nor even reply. I am anxiously awaiting a 3rd app that actually does what it claims!

Hi,
Like all of us, I have multiple applications which fetch data from emails, rss feeds, twitter, facebook, etc. For exemple, my Tweetcaster fetch data each 60 minutes, Feedly each 60 minutes, K9 each 60 minutes for all accounts, etc. Is there a way to make applications to sync/fetch all at the same time ?
I was watching a Google I/O session on YouTube, which was very interesting. The bottom line is, to save battery, you should sync everything at the same time, so one big cookie instead of multiple small cookies through the day. Therefore, I am looking for a way to force my applications to sync all together at the same time.
I agree that the amount of battery save would be minimal, but I still would like to know if this is possible.
Thank you,
Neo.
there is an app i think called "sanbox", that allows you to do that, just hunt for it in the playstore.
