By accident I have put my calendar app into the "Always Sleeping" section under Battery. I am not sure how it works but I do not want the calendar app to stop sending me notifications or emails about upcoming events. How can I remove it from the "Always Sleeping" section?
remove from the same spot.

My Gmail email currently notifies me as soon as I receive an email, which is very annoying because sometimes I'll check it and put my phone down and then immediately get another email. I don't want to disable notifications completely, I just want to set it to only refresh every 30-60 minutes or so. I've seen this option in the default Mail app but can't find it in Gmail. Is there any way to do this?
If you are using the gmail app on ur phone, it is set to "push" notifications. that means it gives u email right when it receives with a 5-10 sec delay. There is no way to do a "poll" notification, which is the kind of thing you want. tbh push is better because there is no battery drain while poll has to go on the gmail servers every 30 mins or however you set it to. but if u really want it then just use ur email app.

The closest I'd say you can get with the actual Gmail app itself is to check the "notify once" option in account settings. I know that's not quite what you're talking about, though.
Dataslycer is right. Since Gmail is natively push, you're going to get immediate notification of a message. The only way to do exactly what you're talking about is to enable imap in your Gmail account settings on the web, then add your Gmail account as an imap account in the phone's mail app. You can tweak as you like there. But, as Dataslycer said, imap polling will really take a chunk out of your battery life.

How much battery would polling use? I have my business email set up in the Mail app and it's set to refresh every 30 minutes. The only thing I don't like about Gmail pushing the messages immediately is I can't stand my phone going off so often and the notification LED always blinking and I haven't found a way to disable the LED for Gmail only without disabling notifications for Gmail altogether.

If you're using a separate imap for your work email, then adding gmail as another imap wouldn't be a problem in terms of battery life. Half-hour increments for polling also is fine in terms of battery life. However, if you added gmail as an imap to the native mail app like you have done for your work email, you would lose certain functionality like archiving. I had mentioned the "notify once" option in the gmail app. Check that. What it does is this: it will notify you once of a new message in your gmail (as you choose- sound, vibrate, etc.), but it will not notify you of any other new emails until you check your messages. Maybe this would be a compromise that would work for you? In terms of the LED flash notification, I'm not sure if unchecking "email" in Android settings> display> flash notifications would disable the LED for gmail. Of course it would disable the LED for new work emails in the native mail app. If that's not a problem, check it out. I'd be interested to know the result.

The MIUI calendar (or contacts) app gives me daily notifications with the text "Today is XY Birthday, don't forget to say happy birthday or get a present". My contacts are synced with facebook, so I get this notification for all my facebook friends. I don't give a damn, so how can I disable these notifications?
I'm looking for the same answer. Googling my ass off, but not finding anything yet. It's a nice idea and all, but there's gotta be a way to turn it off.
Same problem! Any solution?
Have you tried to go into calendar and in the menu (click menu button) selected "more..." and then "Calendars" to see if there is a Facebook Calendar. If there is you can click it and make it not sync and not be visible. I do not personally have this problem and I am running MIUI with Facebook contact sync. Hope this helps.
I am having the same issue. I don't believe this is directly related to Facebook. It just becomes more annoying when Facebook is involved. I too would love to turn this off!
Turn off bday reminders
Any luck with this? I also can't turn off the birthday reminder
Clicking the notification sends you to the contacts, so it's most likely the contact app. Calendar is off the hook, I disabled every calendar and notification and still got birthday reminders.
Facebook may be involved I think simply because it syncs birthdays to every contact that has it set on their profile
Still, there is no option that I have found that disables these notifications, and if there is one, I'd like to know :/
make the birthdays stop!!!!!! i only care about one birthday, and that's my own.
Well, this still is a problem...
Has anyone figured out how to remove gmail app I use regular mail app and hate the dual notifications
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using xda premium
Just turn off notifications in Gmail at More>Settings>Account Settings (account name)>Notification Settings. Much easier solution.
Not sure, but I think Gmail is pretty interlaced with other things, like your contacts, calendar, etc. Removing Gmail may really bork things up.
You can turn off Gmail sync - Settings, Accounts & Sync, Google, Uncheck "Sync Gmail".
Leave Contacts and Calendar sync checked if you use those apps.
How do I force a sync for contacts (Exchange)
Yes, I know how to do email sync, but I can find no way of doing this with contacts. It seems like they sync at some predetermined interval.
I add a contact in exchange on my PC, then if I want to see it immediately (like I'm driving to a client and setting the GPS) I have to reboot the friggen phone to make it available..
My EVO did this easily.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You can always force sync through the “Accounts and sync” settings page.
Click Settings
Click Accounts and sync
Click on your corporate/exchange account
Click Sync now
Or you can use something like the free app "Synker", a sync widget, to create a widget that allows you to force sync specific accounts regardless of the current auto-sync setting.
You can also use the power control widget, Widgetsoid, etc… to “toggle” the global Android auto-sync setting off/on, which effectively will cause a force sync.
I keep getting events on my calendar that are ads for whorebots, what I call the messages from "women " claiming they want sex. I included a screenshot. This is Samsung calendars, which is a system app, right? So on a scale of 1-10, how f*#$ed am I? If the virus is system level, can I even fix it?
File didn't post, apparently..
uninstall any apps that you recently installed.
I just noticed some odd entries on my calendar too. It seems to have something to do with Spammy Emails and how Google/Samsung takes events from your email and enters them onto your calendar

I went into my Samsung calendar and went to "manage calendars ", and I was able to deselect Google email and a few other things. Hopefully that will stop it?
I'm curious if the change in settings stopped your flow of "auto dates" being added to the calendar. Does it add them for emails that get tossed in the junk folder? Gmail has been pretty good about sniffing out the whorebots (I love that name for them). Do the events show up in your Google calendar?
Here is an example of the email and the calendar entry. This is in my Spam folder but still shows up on my calendar. I've turned off calendar notifications to my phone but Reminder emails from the calendar show up in Spam folder.

I literally never even look in my spam folder at all. And unless I hid the icon and forgot, Google calendar isn't installed.
