[Q] - How to adjust the sync frequency of certain things - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
when i set up my phone, I turned off auto sync for things like, Gmail contacts/gmail calendar/dropbox etc.
but I havent found a quick easy app to sync these by pressing a simple button yet. (is there one? my desire had a widget you could press)
So, i now want to change the sync frequency of my calendar and contacts yet i cant find a way to do it. can you help?
if i go to settings > Accounts > google
is there a way to change how often it syncs?
thanks in advance

Do u see sync button with it easly u can sync enabled accounts

[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.

[Q] Facebook sync without sense

I am using Liberated just because of the nice facebook syncing with contacts of the sense (I mean, birthdays - profile pics - statuses etc.). I wanna use CM, but couldn't figure out how can I do same thing in CM. You guys, what are you doing for that? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
P.S: I have tried few 3rd party battery-draining app (which I cant remember the name atm). Is there any real good app to do that like sense does?

Please elaborate on the "birthdays, profile pics, statuses, etc" part...I haven't used sense since day 3 of having my aria so I can't really remember anything about it.
As far as profile pics go, phone numbers, emails, etc...you CAN sync that on CM --
1. settings > accounts & sync > facebook
2. facebook settings > sync contacts > sync all

One thing I would like to point out is that you have to do those steps in the reverse order. aosp won't let you even add facebook as a sync account until you choose to sync contacts via the facebook app.

Thanks I wasn't putting them in any sort of order, but I guess with the numbers it would seem that way...

Thanks. Didnt know native client has sync option :O So does it sync friend's birthdays with your calendar? And about statuses; sense dialer shows your friend's last status messages below their names but I guess it's not possible on native dialer. well its not so important.

Im not sure about the birthdays, but it does sync their status updates to their contact on the phone. If you click their picture it pops up with other options.

might be u get from notifications, there's a option to enable disable that
Press "THANKS" if that helped.
Click on any of the accounts and it will give you sub menu with selective sync options check the ones which you want to sync hit back and you will see the account with green sync icon.. I hope i understood you correctly...

Actually I'm having the same problem with my newer phone, Google Nexus (I know, Im in the Note forum )
When I go into Settings, Account, Google, my email comes up, I could manually sync each item individually (contacts, gmail, etc etc...) however I dont have the autosyn option available anywhere.
I removed the account, added it again, same happens. (JB 4.1.2).
On my old Nexus One also running JB 4.1.2 I dont have this problem, I have auto sync enabled with the possibility of enabling or disabling individual sync items.
Anyone knows why on my GNex I cannot autosync?

How to turn on automatic updates on email app?

Hello guys,
I've used an iphone and a Galaxy S3 before I bought this Htc One, and I didn't have any issues at all with automatic receive in the email app.
But on HTC One the only way I see new emails, is when I enter the app.
I've turned Smart Sync On, but the is no difference at all.
Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for your help.
Hi Mannie,
There are 2 settings you'll want to check.
Within the email client go into Settings -> Sync, Send & Receive and set the sync schedule settings.
Next go into the phones Settings -> Auto sync and make sure Auto sync is On and under the Manage Accounts section that "Mail" is in the list of managed accounts.
Cheers,
Ken
Also make sure your data is on ie 3g or 4g
