[Q] Sync via Wifi not edge/3G - Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I noticed all the data syncs (google syncs in particular like GoMarks, then a currency program i have ) going on with galaxy s (froyo) - if i turn data comm off - it doesnt sync via wifi.
comparing with iphone - you could have all sync via wifi.
Am I doing something wrong ?
Thx

not sure what is wrong with your phone, if anything.
but my calendar, emails, phone book and other stuff syncs normally when i'm on WiFi
check your settings perhaps?
did you install any app that might give you some choices related to that?

It may be that your wifi has not all ports open.
sync uses gtalk for the push notifications. Check if you can connect to gtalk when on wifi.

[Q] Why MSN does not automatically connect like the rest?

I'm using Samsung Apps' Social Hub Push Email and IM for my IM, Contacts, Calendar & Email sync (it's awesome!)
So everytime after i reboot the phone (when i change my battery pack), all the apps comes up fine on its own
all the IM accounts logs online by themself yahoo, & google talk; except for MSN
i always have to click the green button for it to connect.
So, i'm pondering why MSN doesn't auto login like the other accounts that i have in Social Hub Push Email and IM?
no body uses MSN ?
i tried using that app and it doesn't work very well... I switched to msn talk and it works much better.

[Q] Auto-Update of weather only on wifi?

Hi.
I use internet on my diamond only with wifi and active sync.
I have set it up (using thirdparty software) to connect and sync mail and calendar every morning at a special time.Would like to hawe the weather to sync automatically too.... Now i have to update it manually and I seems to forget it.... a lot of days....
Is there any way to update it using scripts, manually download the weatherfile etc?
Some way to fix this using manila and parameter (manila.exe -weather-update or something?????)?
Thanx/M
I would find that very helpful, too.

Exchange account sync - calendar & contacts not sync properly

Hi,
I came from HTC desire, previously when I used with my office exchange, it managed to sync emails, calendar and contacts perfectly. However, when I changed to SGN, the following situation happen.
- Modify or cancel event from Outlook, phone doesn't get sync (even I sync manually few times), it is still displaying old info.
- Modify contact in Outlook, for example mobile number or name. Phone doesn't get sync and still display the old info.
- Modify contact in phone, for example company, Outlook doesn't get the updated info.
All above are done with process where sync is "triggered" successfully.
Did any of you encounter this problem? Any resolution?
I can't help you, but I'm having problems with email in my exchange account. I have everything set up the same as my last several Android devices, but I can't reliably receive new emails. Sometimes they'll be delayed by a day or so. It's almost like the email client is not using cellular data to update and only using wifi when the device is on. Anyone else have this problem?

Sounds like account & frequency settings than an issue. Have you verified them? Are you on mobile data all the time?
I'm finding that on occasion it stops syncing mail.. the moment you reboot OR go in and manually ask it to refresh it starts doing it normally again no problems...
I am also having the same problem .. However manually refreshing - sometimes still does not work. It is indeed - very annoying .. I believe the problem is in the Email.apk ..
still no solution found, apart from using different E-mail clients off the market, which work with various success ..
I've been through the settings many times but still have the problem. It just decides to stop syncing sometimes.

Any alternate email client you suggest? I start to miss HTC mail client.
Although a bit weird, but after flashing this rom (Cassie's XtraLiteRom KKA ThunderBolted! V2.2) it seem to work fine so far. Still observing and hope it does really work.
I am also using the same ROM - there was no improvement for me. I believe the problem is in the E-mail client. The one we have is version 3.0.0.1. Before on another Android phone I used 2.3.5. I tried to replace the new one with the old one - and then it works. The problem is however that the old one is not scaling up to fit the large Gnote screen. It is a lower resolution.
I tried many other e-mail clients - K-9, Kaiten (both of them could not connect to my exchange server (2010)), Moxier - for some reason crashed my contacts and then I tried TouchDown - which is kind-a good and in terms of connectivity - all worked fine - but there were some integration points that were not fit for my taste.
What I ended up doing was a bit weird - but so far works nicely. I downloaded Google Calendar Sync - which takes your Outlook calendar and syncs it with your Google Calendar. Then I downloaded GO Contact Sync Mod - and that does the same for the Outlook and Gmail contacts. So I have both of them running on my PC and they automatically sync Calendar and Contacts. This way - my phone get them through the Google account and .. a bonus is that I have a backup
To check e-mails - I use the IMAP functionality of K-9 as my exchange server doubles up as IMAP too. For the time being - that's OK for me - and I will be hoping that Google will fix up this E-mail client in the Ice Cream Sandwich .. let's hope it is not I SCREAM sandwich
Alternatively - one can use the old E-mail client - 2.3.5 .. for Contacts and Calendar only and use K-9 for the mail .. It is really a matter of preference
I noticed that this may work. Instead of using push notification, use interval sync. This seems to solve it?
It's really weird and I still can't figure out the root cause.
That's a good clue - it appears to fix it!
Iam using SGN with 500+ emails everyday! absolutely no problem at all. I have been user of XE, XL, Sensation etc I personally think this issue arises when data connectivity of the concern operator is down (GPRS / EDGE) however, on WIFI no issues at all

Nope it's not the connectivity issue, it's the bug on push notification. Apparently this seems to be a bug in samsung, I didn't have issue in HTC previously.
After changing the push to interval pulling, it works perfectly fine now.
It might be related to 2.3.6 I recall having the issue on 2.3.5 and I'm pretty sure I saw it on my p1000 after I modded it.
My note is still stock.

I'm having problems with contact syncing between SGN and Exchange 2010. Create on phone or on Exchange - no way - no sync.
I'm on stock rom xxla6
Any ideas?

On Galaxy Tab with KRATOS 4.1 everything syncs fine with the same Exchange server.

[Q] Mobile to Mobile Sync Calendars?

Hello,
Is anyone aware of any sort of App that will directly sync calendars between two Android devices? Using the mobile data 'always on' network or via wi-fi on a home network?
In theory, I guess I could set up a new gmail account and both devices log in to it (can you do that?) and sync the calendars that way.
Just wondering!
Thank you.

[Q] sync only works over WIFI

My note seems to be only able to connect to the internet over WIFI. If I disable WIFI then it says unable to connect, no matter how strong my signal is or where I am.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Need more info, what sync are you referring to?
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!
its is under Settings > accounts and sync
here you set which accounts you want to sync.
google, twitter, facebook etc
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere to limit sync to on wifi only, but not on stock at the moment so can't say where it is...
