Hi,
Is there a way to manually check your email instead my Magic checks my gmail automatically charging me for the data connection. How can I sent the phone to disable this function?
Thnx
Hi,
Settings, Data Sync, uncheck Auto-sync should do it. Then just click Google Mail/Calendar/Contacts when you want to manually do it.
May want to turn off Background data too. Dunno.
Is this what you were looking for?
You can also download APNdroid (market), With this program you can turn off and on your data connection.
hopes this helps

Is there a quicker way to make sure you don't get charged for data when roaming than going into menu/setting/accounts & sync/ and unchecking sync and background data?
The power widget only controls sync, does that also include any background data?
ok found that you can either long press the power on/off button and choose mobile network, or even better just add the mobile network widget for a quick tap (thanks htc)
this does kill all data exchange, rigth?
Why when I switch my phone on into Android, loads(about 15) apps are running in Advanced App Killer, such as Myspace, Mail etc, things i've not yet touched on my phone. I close them, but after a few hours i check what apps are running and random apps i've not opened(nor appear on screen) are showing?
Anyone else have this?
I think your apps are opening because you have auto data sync turned on. If you turn off sync of these accounts (mail, myspace) they probably won't be active.

oh thank you, stupid question but where do i find the setting to switch auto sync off?
*****More Info*****
Found it, was in an obvious Accounts & Sync menu, man i feel stupid lol, thanks
From the home screen, puss the menu then settings, go to accounts and sync. Disable auto sync and especially background data. You will definitely notice less apps opening up, but you will have to enable it again if you want to do certain things. I.e. market, gmail etc...

The problem with turning off Background data and Auto-sync is you will lose other useful features, e.g. GMail notification, weather updates, Market app (requires Background data) etc.
I use an app called "Startup Auditor" which allows you to manually turn off the programs you don't want to run upon startup, and additionally, auto-run after startup.
Hope this helps.

There is sync icon on the top bar when i set both background data and sync off
whats happening?
And when i check the current widget log, i'm sure there are some apps is doing sync secretly, how can i manage all of this background data and sync things??
I could be wrong but I think some widgets will sync if they are on one your home tabs and you have data connection on. Even if you have the options in settings turned off.
try to go into airplane mode and see If it stops.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Get "Mobile Data Enabler" from the market. Add the widget and shut off data there.
I noticed that sometimes when I turn on GPRS/EDGE in my Android 2.2, I can see the sync icon at the top. So obviously my contacts/mail/calendar is syncing automatically.
How can I disable any such background processes on my data connection? I have no problem doing it on WiFi, but GPRS/EDGE is kind of pricey here, so I avoid using it for stuff like syncing.

go settings/accounts & sync/untick auto sync
But that would disable Auto Sync even on Wifi.
There's no way to do it...it's either on or off.
Apps like Tasker may let you setup this kind of option.
This is driving me nuts. I check the autosync option in exchange account settings and it works fine for mail and contacts. But for calendar it just turns off. When I'm in calendar/settings/syncronize calendar, I turn it on again, and next day it's off again.
It's annoying that I have to manually sync, since I use the calendar because of my forgetfullness .
Version android 3.2 stock, build P7500xwkl1.
All the mentioned apps, mail, calendar, are stock apps.
Any ideas? tnx in advance.
same issue for me....
any idea?
solved
Solved!
And it's not a bug, it's a feature
Turning on power saving features also has an option "turn sync off when not syncronizing"... Just uncheck it and it is done.
I have the same issue but I don't use power saving mode, the 2 checkboxes are unchecked so I assume that the auto sync should not be affected by the low battery power...
Is there another setting for that?
Ok, I finally solved it, I use Setting Profile as profile manager and I don't know why but one of my profiles had one of its settings to turn off the auto sync data....
