I'd like to have different sync intervals for different types of Gmail data - e.g. email every 10 minutes, Calendar every hour, contacts once per day. There doesn't seem to be a way of doing this from the Accounts & Sync settings page.
Is this possible?
(I'm running stock ICS, rooted)

I've been using Das bamf 1.6.3 on my Thunderbolt for a week now and it's been working fine, now all of a sudden sometimes I get my e-mail notifications and sometimes I don't, it's intermittent. It doesn't seem to be specific where the source of the e-mail comes from. Its been happening for two days and no changes have been made to the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
I think the email sync defaults on manual-sync when not at peak times, which is defaulted as Mon-Fri 8:00am - 5:00pm, I believe. If your settings are like this then you wont receive a notification on the off times unless you manually sync your email.
I know this sounds newbish, but where do I set the frequency to which it updates? I went to account/sync and there is no way to adjust it's sync schedule. I even tried under settings for gmail. Thanks!
I personally dont use the Gmail app for my email I use the "Mail" app for it. You can connect multiple email accounts to it and if you go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and select each mail account you can then set up an update schedule.
For some reason, my HTC Thunderbolt has stopped automatically syncing my google calendar. I can manually sync it by going to calender -> menu -> refresh and it will sync. I can also sync it manually from settings -> accounts and sync, but nothing I have tried restores the automatic syncing.
Gmail (both contacts and mail) is automatically syncing -- its only the calendar that isn't (and the calendar IS the same google account as gmail).
I have noticed that on the accounts and sync screen for my google account that it shows the current date for sync contacts and sync gmail, but July 10 for Sync Calendar (see attached image). I've tried unchecking and rechecking that and sync now. It will always sync (and it does pick up new appointments), but it never changes that last sync time and it never goes back to automatically syncing.
I searched google for this issue but nothing I found directly addresses it -- all seem to be difficulty syncing at all (even manually).
I am running stock rooted MR2. See attached image for exact versions.
I am using ADW desktop so I have disabled HTC Sense.
How can I get the automatic sync working again?
Because of various work/personal email accounts, I have 3 different accounts set up on my phone, 2 gmail and 1 exchange. I've set the exchange account to sync 1 an hour during peak schedule (when I'm sitting at my desk anyway), and switch back to push during off-peak (5pm-8am, and weekends).
In the gmail app though, it doesn't seem to have settings to switch away from push. In an ideal world, I'd like to set one of my accounts to only sync every 2 hours or so, with the other remaining as a push account.
Any way to do this, short of setting up the accounts in the default mail app, which is less friendly than gmail?
Edit: I should note, this is all in hopes of extending my battery life on UnNamed 1.3.0
Hi all,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 with the default Email client.
I have various email accounts, but want to set the syncing options (times, peak, off-peak) separately, but I seem to be unable to do this. The only one which is giving me options to set the syncing is the Hotmail one, which allows me to set separate peak and off-peak syncing, the rest only allow me to set syncing intervals.
My issue is that I have some accounts for which I need emails to come through 24 hours a day, and others that I only want during normal office hours, but (apart from the Hotmail account) I cannot set this up individually.
On my previous HTC I was able to set this up separately for each account, I assumed it was a standard Android Email app, but I guess I must have been wrong!
My question is, have I missed something in the settings?
If it's not possible, is there an email app that I can download that will allow individual sync settings per account?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I've just started using Google Calender and I'm having trouble setting the sync frequency on my phone. I have my Mac calendar do refresh the google account every minute and at the moment, when I edit something on my Mac it instantaneously appears on my phones Calendar widget/Google calendar app.
It seems like this will drain my battery considerably so I would like to know how I can set the Sync frequency on my phone? I can't find anything in the app settings or accounts/sync settings?
Thanks
I don't think it's done periodically, I'm almost certain after changes are received by the calendar server, they are pushed to clients.
