Hi I've been searching for this for a while now but no luck...
So I have two Android phones, let's say one S2 and one S3, and both have the same Google account, same Facebook account, Instagram, etc, but each has a Sim from a different provider. So sometimes I want to have both with me, sometimes I want to have only the S2 and others only the S3.
The problem is that when I'm at home or have both with me I really don't need both to start going off about the same email or Facebook update, and disabling notifications for some of those apps in only one phone has to be done under Applications in Settings because they Sync notifications settings across the account (Facebook does this), anyways using this approach would be very time consuming every time you would want to switch the phone that gets notifications. Now Cyanogen is known to have the profiles menu that can group apps and I believe turn off notifications for groups of apps with one touch. But I'm running stock on both..
I wanted to know if there is an App out there that can do something like this, group apps and disable notifications for that group with one touch. It would be even better if let's say you were actually using one of the phones and it would automatically know this disable notifications on the other or even geofence your home so that you can set what phone or device actually goes off when you are at home.

I really like my Rezound but it seems like the built-in task killer is killing off all of my apps that need sync and/or push notifications. I saw that the OTA update was set to fix that it was killing off email syncs, and it did fix that, my email app syncs all the time now.
However, my facebook widget, facebook messenger app, yahoo messenger app, yahoo mail app; they work fine for about 8-10 hours, then after that they just dont update anymore at all. When a new email hits my yahoo account, it stops getting push notifications, when someone sends me a new facebook message, my facebook messenger app doesnt get the notification, etc. This really sucks. The only way I've been able to get them to work again is, every morning after waking up, I have to power down and restart the phone 2 or 3 times to get them all back working. But usually by the end of my day, they've all stopped again.
Any ideas?

Anybody experience this too?
Do you mean the HTC power management scheme? Because I don't remember a task-killer being installed.. Forgive me if there is because I haven't seen stock since about a week after I got the phone. Maybe try setting the power management to performance mode and grabbing an app like Juice Defender that's a bit more customizable.
To piggyback on what MrSmith said (speaking from personal experience), if your battery gets to the point where your phone goes into power save mode, background data and/or auto sync may be turning off, and it doesn't always turn back on.

Mine is in Performance mode. Gingerbread comes with a task manager built in. One of the big issues that the OTA update fixed was the fact that the built-in task manager was killing off the email sync in the background (according to the official description of the update).
I'm assuming that the task manager is auto-killing a lot of stuff as well too. My facebook widget almost never updates after a few hours after rebooting.
I'm still on 100% stock. I guess at some point I'll unlock the bootloader, root it, and go with a new ROM. I'm not real familiar with the process for doing that with an HTC. I came from the Samsung Galaxy S world. It was so much easier to root and switch ROMs, etc.
Excuse my silly question but I just configured my email accounts for the first time on SGS3 and noticed a big difference compared to my DHD with GB 2.3.5.
Question 1:
I use 2 IMAP accounts and on my DHD I had options for peak time and off peak time. Here I only had 1 option for sync. For hotmail it gave me all options for peak and off peak.
Also, the smart alert, shouldn't notify me for emails or is it just for missed calls and SMSs?
Question 2:
Samsung service & apps: are they actually necessary if you use google service? I mean, my contacts and calendar are saved on google and synced back every time I restore my phone. Yes, Samsung says that it backs up settings as well but whenever I sync, it's in trouble. So does it work yet or not. It reminds me now of HTCSense which never worked. So is there any additional benefit from this? also, any benefit from the other Samsung apps? (i.e. the Samsung Apps is similar to market but what do we need it if we can still get the same apps from Play Storer?)
Settings --> Motion --? Smart Alert (it says that for "missed calls and messages")
I think you do not have peak on/off in default email app. use another email client from market.
Samsung apps is useful as there are many samsung phone specefic apps on it that are not on play store e.g. photo editor, video editor, task manager widget etc
Thanks!
So i have my S2 with the upgraded 4.1.2 stock rom from Samsung , but rooted, and go launcher.
I have this setup for the last 2 years or so with all the go launcher upgrades.
My problems are like this:
I have not received Gmail notifications in forever i always have to check manually for mail.
Yes i tried emptying cache and app data and the label notifications are always checked for all my accounts, but still nothing.
I have used Jorte calendar for some time but had to give it up last year cause after a while it would not send me notifications on the dates i set.
Recently i tried using Caynax hourly notification app.
This program doesnt send a visual notification in the notification area but plays a little audio clip similarly to when you receive a message.
And again after using it for a few weeks it just stopped sending notifications.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing data and the lot, settings in the app show everything is set up to send me the notifications and yet it doesnt.
I am getting some notifications, Facebook , YT and pushes , to name just a few, seem to work well enough
So if anyone has any experience with something like this please help.
humble bump
This is driving me nuts, i rely on email, coming from push blackberry email this is not desirable at all.
I've tested the Gmail app and also the OS email program and both more or less do the same thing. If I'm actively using the phone the notifications come through fine, if i leave the phone on my wireless charger i do not usually get any notifications after it has been sitting on the charger for about 20mins or longer.
I have deleted my gmail account and added it nothing, reset the gmail cache in app manager and nothing. I'm also not the only one with this problem it appears. It is a new phone so not sure why this is behaving this way.
Any help is appreciated. S6 edge, on ATT
This is a software bug, i have tested multiple third party clients and they works fine. It is either related to Google GCM or the app itself has a bug. Shame b/c others on the s6e are experiencing the same thing.
Hey folks, I'm having trouble restoring all files to my new phone. I would have thought Android would be able to do this much easier. If I could, I'd love to just input my Google account password into a new phone, wait for syncing and then it would be like using the same home screen, same apps with all the same data and settings, but I've tried 3 methods so far and when I'm opening apps on the new phone, it still looks like I'm opening them for the first time ;(
I'm going from a Z3 Compact to a S7 Galaxy Active
On set up I did the NFC back to back which transferred all my Google account info and maybe some other info, but not my app data
I then installed Samsung Smart Switch, and this appeared to transfer some (not all) call logs and sms messages, but no data from WhatsApp or Shazam etc.
I then tried Helium and I see the list of disallowed apps is almost longer than the list of allowed apps, so don't see any point doing it this way either ;(
Is there any way to just almost CLONE the system you used and use it on the new phone? All settings and data the same? Is this possible at all?
Any feedback would be great
