Is there a way to sync notifications? for example if both my tablet and phone are signed in to Facebook as soon as I get a notification, it pops up on both.
The apps I use which I want to sync notifications on is:
Facebook
Gmail
POF (Plenty of Fish)
Facebook Messanger
Had a quick Google search and nothing was found.

This has been a bit frustrating.
When you go through set-up, it gives you the option of adding a Google account which is necessary for using Market. But it also syncs your e-mail into the Gmail app and syncs your contacts. I don't want either of those because my Exchange has both contacts and I want to use the HTC mail widget for my Gmail.
I have tried various ways to prevent this from happening, but all have failed.
1. I went through set-up connecting to wifi and adding my Gmail. Then I went to options and removed syncing. But my e-mail and contacts are still in the Gmail app.
2. I did not connect to wifi so that I can first go to options and removing syncing, but that didn't help.
3. I created another generic gmail account just so I can use it for market. However, now that account is connected to my GTalk app instead of my normal account.
So here is my goal:
Use my everyday Gmail with GoogleTalk app, but without it syncing my Gmail contacts or my e-mail with the Gmail app.
Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something? Can you go to the syncing options without actually setuping the Google account first?
Thanks for the help.
Also, while we are on the topic:
What is the main difference between the two? I keep reading online that the Gmail app is supposed to be Push e-mail, but I have also read just as many posts saying it doesn't work or it doesn't do that.
I figured out a solution:
1. Go through set-up and connect to Wi-Fi, but do not set-up a Google account. Skip it.
2. Go to Settings>Syncing>Checking Auto-Sync and Sync in Background
3. Settings>Add Account>Google Account
And here is where you need some fast fingers...
4. Settings>Check Sync in Background and Auto-Sync and quickly click on Google Account you just set-up and uncheck Sync Contacts, Calendars, and E-mail.
I was able to uncheck e-mail sync, but it had synced some of my contacts already. That wasn't a problem b/c I haven't set up my Outlook account so I just deleted all the Google contacts it had synced. But I was fast enough where I didn't let it sync Gmail account.
Now no e-mails in Gmail app and I can use Google Talk.
Just purchased a Streak running Android 2.3.3. I set up my gmail account on phone and everything looked ok. Mail and calendar appear to sync fine but only a few contacts synced. When I open Settings/Accts & Sync, the gmail account shows and sync is turned on.But if I open Contacts/menu/Accounts, gmail does not appear and if I try to add an account, gmail is not present as an option. How do I get the google contacts to sync?
If I remember right you have to go into your Google Contacts on a web browser and move all your contacts into your My Contacts area.
problem solved
I discovered the problem. I had used Root Uninstaller to freeze the Google Sync application at the time I was trying to reduce the apps I didn't think I would need. Now everything in sync. Thanks
I'm getting multiple gmail notifications on my rezound...I only have 1 gmail account and a regular pop account....one notification is black and white and the other is a red and white....

you might have to sign out of the htc mail app....
Make sure you don't have both a 'google account' and a 'gmail account'
Also, check for gmail added to the email app.
Go to:
Settings > Accounts & Sync
Click on "Google"
Uncheck "Sync Gmail"
This will stop syncing gmail and only the red/white gmail icon will appear from now on.
Alternatively, you can remove the sync from Gmail as well to only see the grey notifications from new email.
Actually, I've noticed the same issue and it's because you have signed into both of the HTC mail and Google Mail apps. Choose which one you like the best (Google Mail seems to push faster) and then select settings. Here you can turn off the notifications.
Im trying to sync my contacts and calendar from the phone to gmail so its available out there in case I need to pull it down to reset/new phone etc. I finally figured out how to get my freaking contacts out there. But the calendar is still not showing up on my gmail account calendar online. I only have the one calendar on the phone, everything is checked and it acts like it syncs, no errors, but calendar is blank online gmail. What could be the issue?
I just read that one person stated you can NOT sync from the phone calendar to gmail, only the other way around...this cant be true.

Its not true. You can sync between your gmail calendars fine between phone and gmail. But the samsung also adds a new calendar in the Calendars app called "Samsung Calendar" and this does not show up in gmail. At least from my experience.
Same issue here. Except I think I'm trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to get what's in my gmail calendar to show up on the phone's calendar and I can't figure out how. When I open up the calendar app, I have "My Calendar" and below that I have my gmail calendar. If I put a checkmark on the gmail calendar, all my events show up, but if I remove the checkmark and only show "My Calendar", obviously none of my events show up.
Is there any way I can move the events in the gmail calendar into "My Calendar"?
Actually you just said the same thing, so it does appear you cant sync the phone default calendar with gmail, at least not sync from phone to online, only the other way. Why the hell would there be more than one on there? Sorry coming from an iphone pretty much you had the calendar app right there on the home screen and the S3 is the same, but sorry this one doesnt play well with google?? Ok so is there an easy way to sync the phone calendar with the phone gmail calendar, then sync it online?
Dont get me wrong, I will not miss the iphone at all, just seems some simple tasks should well, be simple. Thanks guys
Setup:
Stock Z3
I use the native mail app with active synch for work
I have a gmail account also in the native mail app
Both of these are configured in the "mail" settings and operate fine
Under the "google" settings I have pretty much everything turned on for sync but have turned off the gmail sync which I would think would conflict?
The issue is that if I get a gmail message, and read it in the native mail app, the next time it syncs in seems to make that same email a new email again and shows unread.
What am I missing? I assume that if I want the other google stuff to sync that I have this configured correctly but something is off from a gmail perspective.
