Gmail - checking mail

Hi
Can it be set that gmail app checks the mail every lets say 30minutes instead instantly ?

The only thing i think of is to get a profiles application.

ok
but with gmail application this isn't possible?

No. It's push or off - that's the only choice you have.
Use the stock Email/Mail application if you want more control, rather than Gmail.

Are you using the Gmail app, or the Email/Mail app?

Turn off auto-sync and background data under accounts and settins. In Froyo and other mods, turn of data which will still allow you to receive calls and text messages but no ip stuff.
Gmail deletion on you phone and laptop will be delayed based on your connections. Usually within 5 minutes your phone and laptop should reflect each other.

No mate i think your geting a little mixed up here, what is happening is that when i delete emails on my phone they still show up when i check my laptop (they show up as being read) what im wondering is why when i delete emails on my phone they don't just delete and i have to delete them when i go on my laptop, i wouldn't imagine it has anything to do with sync or the likes, is no one else having the same trouble?

[SOLVED] Re-syncing Facebook contacts?

Somehow, I am not able to get to the screen where you choose to sync your facebook contacts like when you first get that after installing a rom/wiping data.
I can not add a facebook account through accounts and sync. Deleting all facebook data doesn't help it. Please help!

if you open the fb app and go into settings, there's an option to sync contacts

If you can't add an account, it might be because you used Froyo's method of app2sd. Move the app back to the "internal" memory and see if you can add an account back (you may need to reboot for it to show up in the account selection section).

There is no such option in my FB App either.
Is there a solution for re-syncing the contacts?

If that isn't the case, you may not have enough freespace on the device to store any info...

That weird, for me when I go into settings and scroll down I have this.
but just follow bassmadrigal instructions above.

That was just the setting I didn't have. Don't worry anymore, though, I solved it by using an external application. Furthermore, I would just like to say I do not run ICS any longer. I currently run samuaz CM7 ROM and will continue using it until all the major bug and stability issues with the current ICS builds are ironed out.
ICS really is a great ROM and it's gonna be a tough choice between choosing an AOSP ICS build or a cyanogenmod AOSP ICS build. I really "dig" cyanogenmod so that's probably what I'll look forward to.

I didn't use app2sd or something like that. So I think the app is in the internal memory.
And my phone is just 3 days old so it should have enough space.

If just some aren't working, then overall, your app is working, it just isn't always able to find the right person to sync it with. Just find that facebook contact, then click on their picture to get the little popup with email and their contact card. Click on the contact card and select edit contact, then use the menu button and click on join. Find the contact in your normal contact and select that person. This will join the contacts.

Sorry I didn't made it clear: There are some Fb contacts missing, not the link between my contacts and Fb.
So it isn't possible for me to link them, because they don't exist

Is this with the stock facebook app? Because I know if you use third-party ones like Friendcaster, if they blocked the app, they won't show up. If it is the stock app, I really don't know. I haven't seen that issue at all.

Duplicate exchange account contacts and calendar events

back up to google is on... could that be the cause of this problem? A quick check in xda shows that I am not the only one.

could be, but not sure, you can turn it off and test it just in case.

Same exact problem for me. Can you please share your ROM configuration. I am on Crash ROM v7

think you need to check your google contacts and remove duplicates there.

Thats a good idea, you can merge contacts via comp browser. Or remove them there if they are there. Then possibly switch of after duplicates on phone are removed contacts sync.
Could be the culprit. Best to check where the duplicates are stored before trying by opening duplicate and checking which account it is saved under.

Gents, i really do think this is a bug. I too have the issue only with my work exchange account. The issue wasnt there before the latest German rom LRK. I have tried removing the account and recreating it but it happens again......
Can you others with this issue please post the rom version.
Also please dont suggest merging contacts as that isnt a fix to this issue

Ok, was just eliminating possibilities

Hey guys!
Don't know if that is possible on any ROM but for me (when I still was on a "normal" ICS ROM.. currently I'm on MIUI searching for a good ICS ROM) it worked out kinda like that... (On MIUI thats not possible...)
I don't remember very well how the option was named but if you go to your contacts and press menu one of the options on the bottom brings you to a list where you can choose from which source you want your contacts be taken from... Like SDCard, SIMCard, Google Account, Facebook, etc... just choose one source where you know every contact you need is saved and there you go.. You don't have any duplicated contacts anymore...
But maybe I'm remembering wrong and it was on the stock GB ROM from Samsung... Sorry guys it passed some time since my MIUI flash so I can't remember very well... But hope it helped somehow...

Guys the problem is only with exchange office 365 account, a corporate one in my case. I don't even have google contacts syncing. Everything in Outlook is great just one item on calendar, and just one contact.
The duplicates are only on the Note. I am on Crash ROM v7 4.0.4.
Maybe 4.0.4 ics is the problem...

Not necessarily. I have an on premise Exchange 2010 at work, not O365 and I have the issue.

Are you on 4.0.4?

maybe previously retained items are maintained, In that case switch off sync, make backup of outlook items, so incase anything goes wrong you can reimport if 365 has that opportunity.
Then set sync one way to phone on phone, and delete all contacts and calender items on phone. This could be done automaticslly not sure, when delting sync acount in accounts. Maybe from there you can delete data to, Then setup synch again, check if its push and if thats not supported there are any options regarding full synch on every synch. Also switch off option to allow duplicates to be created if its there.
This could work, try it and report back

Doubled/triples calendar items and contacts

Since I updated to the official 4.0.4 I constantly get contacts and calendar items duplicated. Do you guys have this? Is there a possibility to wipe just the calendar and contacts and resync? Just taking the tickboxes out and putting them back.in the account settings doesn't cut it.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

may be the contacts are in your sim too.

Hi
You're not using multiple computers to sync by any chance? Further, if the information comes from Exchange Server, don't bother as you will never get it straight. I've tried everything to sync with Outlook and gave up, MS and Android just don't match

I found a solution. First export exchange contacts to your ext usb and then open outlook and delete exchange contacts. When you delete from your pc your phone contacts will be deleted. Finally import the contacts from your ext usb and sync with your exchange. 2 days left nomore dublicated contacts.

[Q] does windows phone 8 store unlimited contacts?

Basically looking for a phone for my relative and settled for the lumia 820. Does anyone know if it can store unlimited contacts or if it has a limit as he has >2500 contacts and that is his main requirement. Also does windows phone come with cloud sync for contacts like on android?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4

I don't know for sure, but even that many contacts shouldn't be a problem. Contact storage seems unlimited, so long as you have enough space on your phone to store them. With that said, I highly suspect that contact storage doesn't take up a lot off space for each contact so you should be good to go.

He's upgrading from a Nokia dumbphone with a restriction of 2000 contacts for this reason alone. It has plenty of internal memory but it seems the restriction is arbitrary so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't there in windows phone

Windows Phone stores contacts in a Hotmail/Live/Outlook account that can store as many contacts as you can give. Also, for your relative having that many contacts, I'd recommend he add categories or something of that nature to make his contacts list easier to search.

To my knowledge the OS doesn't impose any limit on the number of contacts. However at least in the past Hotmail (precursor to Outlook.com) did limit users to 1000 contacts. GMail however does not so even if that limit on Outlook.com still exists he could simply store his contacts on a GMail account and set that up on his Windows Phone.
Does anyone know if the 1000 contacts limit on Outlook.com has been lifted (I last checked when they initially got EAS support back in the launch days of WP7)l.

Also have 820, still on GDR1 for a few more hours.
Have my companies address book in my phone. (It's cloud-based). Has in the neighborhood of 10,000 contacts. It is notably NOT available without a network connection, but then without a cell signal he wouldn't be calling anyone anyway.

@altintx: That's not the same thing at all. That's the ability to search the company directory (LDAP support) not a matter of contact sync or storage. Probably you have a small number of those contacts (the ones you actually communicate with electronically directly) synched to the phone.
@waveboy: No limit that I'm aware of. The phone syncs contacts from Google and Microsoft (Exchange or Hotmail) accounts, and stores new contacts "in the cloud", in much the same way that Android can.

Thank you gooddaytodie. Exactly the answer I was looking for!
