what does autosync sync?

does autosync in the widget relate to the accounts posted in settings >accounts and sync? If I only want gmail updates do I check autosync on the widget and uncheck facebook and twitter in settings or do I need to actually remove those accounts in the accounts and sync settings? I searched google with no luck and I'm on my phone so I couldn't search the xda forum. Thanks

I removed the whole crappy Gmail and use regular Email app. That way i can have sync OFF at all time but still have the email check my accounts at every hour.
I believe Autosync is hooked up to Google related apps like GPS Location, Gmail, Contacts and Calendar + the FB and Twitter on accounts and sync setting.

Yes you can have the autosync in the widget on and only Gmail set to sync and Facebook/Twitter turned off. It will sync your Gmail, calendar, and contacts.

If you turn of Autosync with the widget, everything in Settings>Accounts and Sync will stop. You can turn off just Gmail syncing by going to Settings>Accounts and Sync>[email protected] and unchecking "Sync Gmail"

Now I'm all set thanks for the help

[Q] Sync the Calendar on the phone (Samsung Galaxy S) with Google calendar.

Hello,
I am not able to Sync the Calendar on the phone (Samsung Galaxy S) with Google calendar.
its possible to disabling the Calendar on the phone and use only the calendar fromm google acount.
Tanks.

Are you sure sync with agenda is checked under your google account!

I don't think it's possible to sync the "mycalendar" with your google calendar.
You need to choose "google calendar" manually when creating events.
I hope someone brings a hack out soon that will make the google calendar the default one instead of the useless built-in one.

Mauve u ave already donne it....but ave u triade to' configure exchange mail with the server : m.Google.com and than select to' sync calendar?
Have a nice try

It only displays your google calendar but when making a new event you still have to select your google calendar unless it won't sync the event.

Hi,
I cant find what you mentioned. Could you write a step by step if you dont mind please, just incase anyone has the same issue ?
1 . Click on Settings Tile
2 . ......etc......
Thanks in advance !!!

settings
email and contacts
tap an email address
select which content you want to synchronize
there is one exception though, your primary Live account, you can only select to sync your mail or not, the contacts will always get sync'd, I kinda got the mess under control via syncing facebook and only showing contacts that matched in email / facebook.

Here's how it SHOULD work:
Swipe to app list
Settings
Swipe to 'applications' settings
select 'people'
swipe down to list of accounts
select the account you don't want contacts for
deselect 'people' from the 'content to synchronise' set of checkboxes.
Sadly, that isn't an option for my Live login, so I have weird random MSN contacts in my list of people alongside the Exchange contacts I actually want.
Annoying! Also, you can't delete the Live account.

Hopefully MICROSOFT WP7 team can fix this.....I'll think I'll send them a tweet, and it would be great if you guys could do the same if you use twitter ....
Thanks again guys !

[Q] where are the facebook contact sync settings? dont want them sync'd

my brother just got a hero and it syncs all his fb people to his phone. he doesnt want this and i cant figure out or find a way to disable this feature.
how can we have it NOT sync? and how could he remove them? the phone is on stock sw.
it seems there isnt an option anywhere to sync contacts.
thank you for the help

Facebook (main page) -> Settings -> scroll down (right there)

the settings aren't there... thanks for the reply.

Goto People > Menu > View > and uncheck the box for Facebook.
Or you should be able to go to Menu > Accounts > Facebook for HTC Sense and then uncheck contacts.

[Q]Is there any way to force sync calendar

Hi, I used to have a HTC Desire before switching to the SGS. The Desire had a Sync now app, which basically allowed me to start/force the sync process for my calendars. Which was especially convenient when I wanted to edit some events on the computer and wanted to.see.the results immediately...
I can't find a similar function on my SGS. So I'd love to know whether it burried somewhere deep in the menus or is it really not there at all? If the latter's the case, I'd like to know if there is any third party app that can force start a sync process.
Thx.

Try Settings > Accounts and sync > select the account you want to sync under "Manage accounts", you should then see options to Sync Contacts, Sync Calendar, etc.

you could also use the Power control widget on Froyo to disable and re-enable the sync. It usually forces the applications to sync.

Almost, once I was in the account details I had to press menu key and then a sync now option appeared.
Thx for the suggestions.
