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] Like MyPhone?

Is there something to android like microsoft have (MyPhone) that syncs everything over the air?

On their website it says:
With My Phone you can:
* Back up your phone automatically
* Share photos on your favorite social networking sites
* Access your contacts, text messages and more online for free
* Locate your lost phone

Short answer is YES, long answer is MAYBE. There is an app for each and every feature that MyPhone has. I'm not sure about the SMS though.
Android = Google.
Have a Google Account, then your email, contacts and calendar are all synced to the cloud. Regarding notes, you got Evernote which is more than capable.
I hope I answered your question.

Most of this stuff is built into every android phone
- Email sync is automatic and goes to GMail
- Contact sync is automatic and goes to GMail
- Calender sync is automatic and goes to Google Calender
- Photo and video sync is automatic with Picassa if you enable it
- You can also auto upload to YouTube using your google account
Locate a lost phone is built in by Sansung, go to Settings -> Location & Security -> Mobile Tracker.

Or, there are a ton of other market apps that do this same thing.

OK. i sync gmail and google calender but not contacts. shall i do something to sync contacts?
When u sync with picasa, do u sync contact pictures so they find its way back to the right contact after a hard reset? or do i have to pick one and one pic to one and one contakt?
How mutch space do u have on your picasa account?

"sms backup+" let's you backup sms to gmail for free. "backup to gmail" let's you backup sms, mms and call logs but costs $2. And to sync contacts to gmail you need to select gmail when you add someone to contacts. Simple

Don't want to sync Gmail Contacts

Hi There!
I want to stop my i9000 syncing contacts with my GMAIL Account. In fact I want to turn off email and calendar syncing as well. I run Stock ROM.
Also how do I turn off the sweep glass, and change it for something like a pull down like on the htc mini?
Where can I find the settings for the ADW Launcher, seems good in some ways but limited in others. I can't create a shortcut to contacts for example.
Thanks in advance.

disconnect from internet wifi etc
settings
accounts and sync
make sure background data and auto sync are ticked
tap on your gmail account
untick contacts and calendar, leave mail ticked
exit and re-enable internet wifi etc
not sure about the other two requests... I use a lock pattern for unlock

What is a lock pattern?
I have done that as per your instructions thank you. That worked.
Can I also know how I can make sync occur over wifi if available? Better still sync every 5 minutes on wifi, and manually on 3g? Also how do I turn off 3g?

[HELP] Google mail sync problem - cannot delete account

Hello, I have a Lumia 640 running Windows 8.1
As you can see in the screenshot, my google account keeps syncing non-stop, i can't stop it, neither can I delete it. The google mail icon dissappeared from my homescreen.
How can I delete my google account without a factory reset?
Thank you very much!

you tried disable internet (network), turn off and on phone?
also check permissions to access google account and remove if needed

Samsung Calendar not syncing with google calendar

Hey guys,
I have a samsung note 9 unlocked that i purchased from bestbuy. I noticed that the default samsung calendar does not sync automatically with my google calendar. I have to manually sync it to make it updated. If i leave it for more than 24 hours it still doesnt auto sync. I have auto sync turned on in my settings so my emails and everything come automatically from gmail but it seems to an issue specifically with the default samsung calendar. I even reset the calendar app but clearing all the data but the issue persists. I did see a message randomly saying,"you're calender is not set to auto sync or something'' but i never saw it again. On my google account all the settings are set to auto sync. Any help or advice on this?

Did you find a solution to this problem I just started to experience the same issue.
I thought that I can bypass this issue by installing and using Google Calendar but the same thing is happening to Google Calendar syncing would stop.

Hey,i have not other than installing google calander
