Question: auto sync

Hello, I've got a little question in order to improve my battery life.
If I set auto sync off, will help me with battery? For example, gmail is every time working when auto sync is on? Or contacts, are every time being sync?
And when I'm not on WiFi (when I haven't got ibterbet). Is trying to sync too?
Maybe is better to set tasker for making a sync every x hours, 8 for example, is it? What can you tell me about? Thanks!

Turning OFF auto-sync will surely save your battery as your applications won't try to connect to the internet when Wifi/GPRS is not available. You'll see a good increase in battery life. As it is always easy to turn ON auto sync through the power widget or notification bar, you won't find it difficult turning it ON when you need it.
Ok so I can use tasker, for sync every 8 hours for example. So can you confirm If does exist any way for setting push notifications for gmail?
Thanks

[Q] SGS2 Market Issue!

I sync with 3 gmail accounts on my Galaxy S2 but would only like to use one to access and purchase/download from the android marketplace. The issue is that the market app shows all three under settings>accounts. The first time I open the market I set the account to the one that I want but recently notice that it had automatically switched to another accounts and I had installed a bunch of apps using another account. This morning I it to the desired account and in the evening it had changed again. This is very weird and annoying. Is there a way that I can stop this or disable the marketplace on my other accounts?
BUMP!!! Please help. Someone.
I am also facing the same problem. On top of it, i am getting Connection Timed Out all the time in market. Can someone help please?

I've got the same problem, and so do others: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=4dfb99ab11950624&hl=en. I haven't tried it yet, but according to that page, a work-around is to open the market only using the application icon, not from the notification area.
Hey Thanks,
I just went through your link. Guess many ppl r facing the same issue. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Mega Urgent Outlook sync problem

I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.

Exchange keeping phone awake

I have one exchange account set to sync calendar and email. The Exchange process itself only uses around 7% of battery according to the battery graph. The 'awake' line under the graph has some solid areas accompanied by a corresponding steep drop on the battery curve.
Using GSam battery monitor to show which app had the most Time held awake shows Exchange over 5hrs.
I tried changing from Push email to every 10 minutes but it hasn't helped.
I also tried deleting the account, clearing cache and data from the exchange app and recreating the account.
Has anyone solved this issue?
I have not solved it but have the same problem. Galaxy S3. I need Exchange Sync, it finally got me to stop missing BlackBerry
Charging twice a day still stinks. Do other Android phones have this constant awake issue when running Exchange? Is the issue specific to ICS?
Hi, never experienced this on my S3, but did on my S1. A few things to try:
- Push can actually be more battery friendly
- Disable Calendar sync, if that cures it, try deleting all recurring appointments, starting with the oldest ones. Bad recurring appointments are known to send the sync process in a loop.
- Wrong login credentials keep the phone awake, even when sync is set to never!
I use Enhanced Email, in which security can be overided ( no server forcing a lock on the phone). I have read that security policies from the ecchange server can cause problems too.

Yep same problem here too, anyone?
I'll try turning off calendar sync. I turned off push but that made no difference, as you suspected. I use touchdown for email, task, and calendar and also use device exchange sync for calendar (the latter so Calendar Snooze will work with appointments). I can probably get by syncing calendar manually but not using is not an option since calendar is more important than calls and email for me.
Will report back with findings.

Hi techphets
Just wondering if you managed to fix this issue??
Ive also spent hours and hours trolling around trying to find a fix for this, but with no success any thoughts?? I have the galaxy s2 (not rooted, ics 4.0.3) so its definitely not just your S3, its more widespread. ICS? or the email app??
Cheers
i never use any stock apps especially when it connects to the networks and syncs so i just uninstall it to make sure that it doesn't consume battery life
Thanks. However when I log in to outlook online on my phone, the emails that appear are months old so it doesn't sync online. The only way to see new emails it to use the app (so I've found so far anyway)
