Hello to everyone.
My Problem ist that I am experiencing sync issues on my phone.
Facebook messenger not getting messages until I go manually in the app. Sometimes also with Gmail and WhatsApp.
Does anybody else have issues like that?
Hello,
I also noticed something similar like you so i went to the apps part of the phone and manually tweaked the telegram, gmail applications to be less restrictive than the OS is managing them.
I suspect the ColorOS automatically restricts most apps for battery purpose, but you can manually tweak each app to be more or less active / more or less aggressive with power management.
You could try this for starters i think

I updated the facebook app and I noticed that it's not synching my contacts anymore. I tried to go on the account & sync section of the settings and it doesn't allow me to add a facebook account. The option is there but when I press it nothing happens.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
I have had the same problem with CyanogenMod for a while.
I uninstalled Facebook, and installed it from market again. And voila!
However, to uninstall it i think you need to be rooted
no problem for that, I just installed cyanogenmod too thanks for the advice. this is a major problem though for whoever is not rooted....
I had the same problem. (search my threads).....
all I did was log off facebook app and log back into facebook app and it seems to be working fine now.
the facebook app isnt really consistent in general, maybe its just me, but it never alerts me even tho the notifications are ste to "on" and its not as robust as the iphone app but its all good it will happen sooner or later
As many of us know, the google calendar sync process can be huge headache that results in battery drain in the form of the ambiguous "Android OS." Interestingly, even if we choose to manually sync entries, there is no option within the calendar for "visible, not sync." Thus we are forced to keep sync running if we want to see calendar entries. Terrible design. I tried a few third party calendar apps but when you sync them, the stock calendar syncs as well and shows up as "synced, visible" once again. I would like to have my data visible and sync when I please. Seems like this should be easy to do. Perhaps this option hasn't been important for CM7 on other devices because those using phones rather than tablets have access to data transfers almost always, whereas we have to rely on WIFI to sync. How have others worked around this issue? Is there a way to submit a CM7 request for future builds?
In the meantime, you can try ShutUp Battery Saver to schedule syncing. Makes the automatic syncing alot more bearable.

See my response to your request in the CM7 general thread. I use Calengoo and turn off autosync and use "Synker" to set up a manual calendar sync widget.
Thanks for the ideas, guys. I'm not really concerned about having auto-sync. I'm happy to sync manually. I did purchase calengoo and this seems to be a nice alternative to the stock calendar. It has a manual sync feature built into the primary menu. I set it up so that it pulls calendar info from the Google calendar directly rather than going through the Android interface (which I disabled). When I set up an appointment, the sync button is right there to manually integrate the data with the Google server. Works great and hopefully there will be no more headaches with the syncing and battery drain.
Also, the popup reminders in calengoo are really great to have. The reminder on a homescreen rather than the status bar is cool.
You are right. I didn't know what capabilities Calengoo even had. I too completely disabled my Android calendar and set Calengoo up for google calendar only. Turned off completely the google android calendar sync. The sync button on the menu makes it so I don't have to use "Synker" either. You can even set Calengoo to sync on a schedule you set manually if you want.
I even went so far add to "freeze" the google calendar and calendar storage apps with Titanium Backup so that they do not load or run. So far no issues for having done that.

I thought about doing that, too, but I finally stopped freezing apps as a last attempt to improve battery life because some unidentified frozen app was indirectly related to the failure of the device to suspend properly. With no frozen apps (I just hide them with launcherpro so I don't have to think about them!), wifi enabled and set to off with screen off, and the crappy stock calendar turned off, I'm at 23 hours on battery, with 3 1/2 hours display time, and 46% battery left. This is much more acceptable.
So I've played with several roms and because I like the older calender and contact apps for their syncing (or lack of problems syncing) with facebook etc. I am currently using GB. Firmware 2.3.3.
So my issue is this... several of my apps constantly require logging in. I've even had some widgets not work. A data tracking widget kept saying to input settings, a weather app kept asking for my area, words with friends would even give me a notification but when I clicked it I was then told to login. What am I missing? Any recommendations to fix this so that my apps don't constantly require me to log in?
I honestly made the best decision ever of removing the Facebook app from my phone, with it installed, my phone would drain 20% of battery overnight even with greenify. With it removed, I lost only 5% battery, couldn't be happier.
However, with that said, I use the alternative client Swipe, I really like it for normal browsing, but not the Messenger feature. I still have the FB Messenger app due to its calling,emoji, sticker, etc features, but man is it a resource hog. According to the wake lock detector, it woke my device 58 times.
Do any of you know of any other client alternative to the current messenger app with a better theme than the one in Swipe with the same features as current FB Messenger app. Not too fond of Swipe's messenger as it just loads the mobile site version, its features are limited.
If not, do any of you know how to restrict the app properly to not wake my device so often? Greenify seems to have no effect
Trillian will work with your facebook account. Last time I used it, which was about a year ago, the interface wasn't the best to look at but got the job done. It handles other messaging protocols such as Skype, but doesn't work with Whatsapp (naturally).
I was gonna suggest a all in one like trillian and someone on these boards made a facebook messenger and twitter all in one app tho i forget the name. I never go on facebook but I leave it installed but it never takes like any battery, tho I turned off all notifications and turned off chat in the main app and turned off auto load video etc. No issues tho but not many options for third party messenger apps but search forums for the all in one i mentioned.
Possibly IM+? I used this way back in the day with earlier versions of Android, might do the trick! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.shapeservices.impluslite
If I remember correctly you can also use Disa with the facebook plugin. that way you have SMS and facebook in the same app

Hi - this is technically for the Find X5 Pro, but posting here due to the bigger community.
I recently got the Chinese version Find X5 Pro, for some reason Gmail and Outlook don't automatically push: the only way to refresh these inboxes is to open the App.
I've removed battery optimisation for them, all notifcations are enabled, so am confused. All other apps seem to work fine
Sadly, I have the same problem on my X3 pro with coloros 12, albeit only with Gmail. Gmail does not update unless I manually open the app. Outlook does work fine.
This has happend before in the past, and then it started working again on its own. So my guess is that it's something specific to Gmail, perhaps it is not recognized as an e-mail app?
I also have this on occasion on my find x3 Pro with coloros 12. It is rare but annoying because you don't know it's happening until you open Gmail.
I suspect it's when the phone has gone below 20% battery and it puts Gmail into a kind of sleep mode that it never wakes out of. When I reboot it seems to fix it.
I fixed this problem for both gmail and outlook on my Chinese version of the Find X3 Pro. It's all about permissions. First check under Apps, then app management. Find Outlook and Gmail and give them every "allow" permission you can. Then, under Auto Launch scroll down and select Outlook or Gmail. You can only have 5 auto launches that aren't part of the Color OS system, so you might have to turn off a couple. Then, under Default apps choose your email. Start with those. It is a royal pain but it's possible to get it going and push syncing. One more thing: WIth the email app open, swipe up from bottom to see all open apps. In the dotted menu at top for the email client, hit Manage, then "Lock" it so it won't shut down. Again, you are limited to a handful that you can do this for.
