[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.

How to fix contacts?

I unintentionally hid some SNS contacts from Facebook. I want them back, but how?

In settings > Accounts & sync > Sync your facebook profile
You can add the account if there isn't.

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

Question MIUI Global 12.5.3 Phone app problem

So I just got my new Redmi Note 10 Pro and I have a problem where I can't seem to find a setting which my old Huawei P30 phone had and that is display contact list accounts.
I have 2 accounts from which my phone is grouping contacts into all contacts on Xiaomi Contacts app. On my old phone I could select which contacts I want to display and I chose my personal ones and it did just that. And if I typed a name in a search bar that was not in that contact list it would still show up even though it was not in default view list (Xiaomi phone app -> Contacts -> Settings -> Display options ; only has filter by name option).
I can't seem to find an option to filter my contact list in Xiaomi phone app... On my Google Contacts app I found an option to customize view but Google Contacts and Xiaomi phone are 2 different apps from what I have been able to read online...
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
