I know ppl have had issues with the calendar keeping the phone from sleeping with 2.1. Is there a way to just remove the calendar sync? I have my sync turned off yet it is still keeping my phone awake far too long. I can manually shut it down but I would rather not. I don't use the Gmail calendar sync.

Simply for better battery life, I've been considering dropping background data and autosync. However, when I do that, I notice that my ability to sync my contacts and calendar with Google becomes greyed out.
How do I keep syncing my calendar and contacts with Google even with background data disabled?
You have to do it manually. Auto Sync is part of the background data.

I understand that, but I can't find a way to auto-sync. If I go into the accounts that sync under settings, it only shows "*account* sync is off". When I go into it, it shows the date that it last synced. No other options.
If you tap on one of them (contacts, calendar, or gmail) it will sync.

Basically, I get a notification of new mail on my phone before my web Gmail, which is normal. But when I read or delete an email from my phone, it doesn't sync properly with the normal Gmail client, because those emails are still unread.
I have a possible theory as to why this might be happening: From what I can remember, it seems like on FroyoMOD it was working fine, but any Gingerbread ROM I've been having this issue. Is it possible that because GB isn't really made for our phones, or the Gapps for GB are causing some sort of issue?
Thanks!
Having same issues. Gmail is not the only one having sync issues. In mine cm7 rc12 gb rom, even other apps such as yahoo mail, what's app, Google +, huddle are not notifying me anything even when I hv the background sync option on!

I think there might be something in build.prop that changes the sync. It is not always going to get everything right away as it only syncs every so often.

I know when I first got the D3 both k9 and regular mail (not gmail - that still behaves as expected) offered launch icons from contacts, including blur contact widget.
Since rooting & debloating I no longer get the option.
Yesterday I rsd flashed -55 firmware, and now I'm bone-stock (except @ build 55 instead of 20 since we can't flash backards), but I stilll don't get k9 as an option.
Any clues how I can restore K9 mail as an app launch option in contacts?
Thanks!

Not to mention the obvious but you have K9 installed right?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Yes. Installed, reinstalled, etc.
I figured out what it was. Gmail was selected as the default mail app, so that's what comes up. I cleared that setting, now I get a choice of all mail apps when I click on the mail launch icon. Not ideal, but better than before.

Good. I love questions that answer themselves.

Hey
I know it may be dumb to ask but is their a need to sync Facebook or social media apps with your phone? I'm Abit confused of the benefits? I have Google contacts synced to phone which i think will sync my new contacts so I'm fine with that but everything else is it really useful or is it better to have them auto sync turned off for battery life...
Cheers

I dont turn on my sync still i get the update in facebook, google mail, apps, and yahoo mail. I dont know what is the purpose of sync?
Its better to turn it off for added battery life.
That's what I'm thinking but I'm scarred to turn off Google as I want my phone contacts always backed up. That's the only one I have synced at the moment.

What's push and is their a option for that??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
yep when checking settings in email and accounts I think there are options there. At least for Exchange mail. Gmail its already push, dont think you can change it.
Always just check every setting within app as wel, Facebook has push for direct messages I think.
synch is old school, poll server, updates found download, repeat proces every few minutes
push, not entirely like blackberry but close, servers sees email and sends it to phone to download. Hence push.

Basically I sync all my contacts and photos with my google account so it will never be deleted unless I do
Syncing is to exchange the things between two accounts EG. Contacts & Google and if you lose the things on one account you can recover from the other account you synced by enabling the sync option again or you can delete on other also by syncing again
Its up to you
Hey
Thanx everyone for the advice. I think having Google contacts is a must just incase I add new contacts etc and I've synced my dropbox But apps like Facebook and whatsapp and twitter are so not needed so I've taken them all off. I can't understand why anyone would want to sync twitter or whatsapp lol just ludacris.

hi all, I have set my mail to sync every one hour but it doesn't seem to be working properly, I have to do a manual update every time to make sure I get the mails. Is anyone having the same issues?

No issues here with either an exchange account or a POP account - both update as expected.
