Is there a way to sync using wi-fi?
yep - google sync
Really there is? as what I heard, there was NO way to synch that. Me googled too, but nothing popup, can you provide pls more info?

btw with a special version from activesync it was possible to sync with wlan. But has been removed dues to security reasons :> and you cannot use older AS versions
ok, question....if i do this, will it show my upcoming birthdays/events on my home tab, the same way it would using Outlook?
it syncs google contacts and gcalander to poutlook. So yep.
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.

Here is the issue I have run into:
I am currently running Perception 10.2 and Firebird 2 v0.4. Recently background syncing will not happen while I am connect to a specific Wifi. Background syncs work fine while at home on wifi and on 3G.
What makes this specific Wifi unique is its a guest wifi at work and needs authentication with username/password. I normally open a browser and authenticate I am usually good for the day unless i get disconnected for a while. This has worked for me in the past as long as I am authenticated with wifi. I remember this working on Perception 10.1 with the default kernel just fine.
So no gmail or google voice notifications unless I open the specific app (At that point notifications are pointless). Just opening the app seems to trigger a sync and I get new messages, but never until I open the app. Gmail and Google Voice are the only two apps I am noticing, although I am betting Contacts and Calendar are doing the same thing.
So before I start flashing back to stock or another rom/kernel I am looking for opinions. You think they might have changed the wifi on me and blocked something? Seems if they had it wouldn't sync even after opening the app.
[UPDATE]
Found out through loading mutliple ROMS including Stock ROM, this must have been a wifi network change. Curse you Wifi Admins!
Hello There,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Tab smartphones. When using Facebook App (latest version) on both phones through Wifi, I cant get precise Notifications and also I cannot upload photos to facebook. However, when using 3G, everything works fine. I guess the issue with facebook is that first it uploads some data onto the facebook servers and then gets the relevant notifications.To pin point to problem, I checked with the wifi and it turned out that my wifi (BSNL Broadband in India) broadband has Data Upload Compression (which I can verify through www.speedtest.net). Is there anyway to tweak seetings in android so as to enable the facebook notifications and photo upload in such date upload compression enabled connections. To add, when using my PC through the same broadband, the images gets uploaded to facebook without any problem. So I guess there might be some kind of a minimum bit settings for upload data somewhere, maybe higher in Android and lower in PC connections.
A help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Akshay
Same deal here with HTC Sensation XE. Can upload pics fine via 3G, no go with Wi-Fi.
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?
