I just found that Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) replaced C2DM in 6/2012. This is equivalent to Apple's push notification service, which is battery friendly.
What apps use GCM?

What advantage is there to deleting the stuff as opposed to simply freezing it?

There's No Advantage Really Besides It Sits On The System Taking Up Space In The Background.
Does anyone know of any app that logs automatically entire sms' content to google calendar in ICS?
SMS2CAL does not support ICS and the coder is not interested in supporting it or adapting it for it to work wit ICS.
CallTrack does a perfect job logging calls, however it fails to log sms.
Any ideas please??
SMS to Calendar
Hello,
there used to be a superb app, Log2Calendar. Sadly, this is now retired from the market.
Here is the APK that I backed up long ago; I install it on all my androids manually (it actually then prompts a market upgrade on some).
I actually use both CallTrack and Log2Calendar: CallTrack logs to a specific Call-Log calendar created on gmail, Log2Calendar logs sms only to a specific sms-log calendar
There is a Call 2 Calendar but it only shows one calendar in the list, so I did not try it.
Also evaluate SMS backup+
It transforms sms into emails (and if contact has an email address you can reply to that email and will send to that email) and uploads them to gmail in a specific SMS label. It also deals call logs if you use the google procedure to authorize emails.
IMAP upload / emails are much more efficient while researching. Plus you get conversation view, unavailable in the calendar
Cheers!

For your safety root and install LBE Privacy Guard (internet firewall + some permission interactive firewall/prompter) so that non-root apps do not access web if not required/desired.

great tracker, don't know about service holder access to data but I guess it is respectful?
I'm looking for a widget (probably with an underlying app) that aggregates messages (SMS), mail (exchange/IMAP), gmail (android client, not IMAP via mail app) and facebook messages. Motorola has something along this line in their droid devices, and Samsung had the discontinued social hub. Anyone know any good 3rd party options?
Try pure messenger widget...
Hi. I seem to have a more protracted problem with push notifications on my phone.
I use more apps (Twitter client, Tapatalk, Avast Anti-theft client, Notepad push agent, and some others) that claim to support push events. But if I send test push event to any of them, nothing happens. Either the event is not triggered at all until I invoke manual sync in that app, or the event arrives with considerable delay (hours or so). The only app that seems receive push events promptly is [email protected] mail.
However all of the nonworking apps look paired with their service online account or to Google account properly (some of them I have Greenified but Greenify shows that they could be awaken from hibernation using the experimental feature) - even apps that aren't greenified (Tapatalk, NEPush) don't notice new events.
Further, when I tried send test command to Avast Antitheft, the web UI said something about Google Cloud Messaging error (may be related to the problem).
Also phone seems to be logged in to Google account properly, sync with GMail is enablled..Global synchronizations in background are ON, Background data are ON ad of course mobile data are ON too.
Google Services Framework is version 4.0.4-430453
Google Play Services is ver 4.2.42
Google Account Manager is ver 4.0.4-430453
all are enabled
I have frozen Google Calendar Sync, Gogle Contacts Sync, Google Mail and Google Search but I assume these don't affect PUSH receiving.
I use rooted phone with custom kernel, UBL and stock firmware if it matters but I suppose it's not affecting my issue.
Any advices that could help bypass this annoying malfunction would be appreciated!
Hi,
I have a personal Google account which I sign into my Nexus 5 with and that all works fine.
I also have a work Google Apps account which I would like to log into Hangouts with but do not want to add it like a normal account (i.e. Settings > Add Account etc).
The reason is that if I sign in to my work account it requires that I download a device policy which then restricts how I use my phone (i.e. does not allow lock widgets, rooting etc).
I have found workarounds for email and calendar where I have third-party apps that let me sign in from a web-based google login page and then grant access.
So I am after, either, a way to log into Hangouts app without adding a base account, or a third party app maybe that would allow me to log in like the email / calendar clients I have.
Any suggestions for this would be appreciated.
