I m using a prepayed sim in france, and I cant figure out how to turn off sync on the calendar, gmail, and contacts! My 50 euro prepay gets sucked dry by the vibrant constantly syncing gmail. Do any of you know where the setting for this is?
Also I don't see an "accounts and sync" menu under settings tab.
Any help would save me a ton. Thanks.

that's weird, that is where my sync options are... Settings-->accounts and sync
maybe turn off data? or delete the APN so it can't connect to the internet, just use wifi
Use the power control widget and shut off sync there.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
Dude right on!! Thanks a lot.
Although im curious why my "accounts and sync" disappeared??

I had a similar problem. Then I just found out today that if you disable Google Talk from starting up (like everybody was advising to save battery life) then Gmail push does not work right. I let Google Talk start up now, and now my push services work... better.

So just go to settings in the talk app and have it automatically sign in? Will have to check his settings tonight and will report back if that fixes it. Thanks!

Make sure that data syncing did not get turned off either. You can also try to manually sync your accounts through menu-settings-accounts and sync. Then choose sync all
I had an identical problem where even manual sync stopped working for now reason.
I added a second gmail account with the same account info and the primary.
After I did that it was like it merged the two and it started working again.
I downloaded the sync settings app from the market and it force closes each time I try to open it.
Now I'm wondering if I didn't accidently delete my "accounts and sync" file when I first rooted my phone.
Anyone know how I would reload this?

Even when I turn OFF sync on the power control
my phone is still downloading emails from hotmail etc.
I'm using a prepayed sim
[bought one today at 25 euro, came back to the phone 3 hours later and I'm down for 4 euro without touching it!!]
that requires me to reload cash into it and its getting expensive.
Phone is syncing no matter what and on top of that I cant find "accounts and sync" in my settings.
Anyone know what I can do?
Only thing I can think is that i deleted it when I first rooted.
Hi everybody howcome when I go in calendar and try to add a event it says you have no calendar? Can somebody help me. I download a calendar app from market gave me same message.

Did you create one from Google Calendar? Log onto your gmail account and create a calendar then sync it to your phone.
Lol sounds confusing. What about contacts I saved 2 but its not on my contacts howcome?

It happened to me when I first got my Nexus S. Even though I linked gmail and the calendar wouldn't allow me to add an event until a few days after using the phone while synced to Google account.
Sync Google account and do a soft reboot and if it doesn't work right away, let it run for a couple days. Give that a try. Good luck.

You can manually sync from the sync menu.

I bought my wife the new Nexus S 4g today. The guy at the sprint store helper her set up the phone even thought I did not want him too. Oh well it is his job. Thing is she had never setup Google Calendar because she had a BlackBerry before that. So when I got home I setup her Google calendar but it is not syncing to her new phone. When I go to Setting > Accounts & Sync > her google account there is not a Calendar option. What do I need to do I don't want to have to reset her phone. Are there any other options? Thanks.
Odd. Calendar should be one of the defaults syncs. Have you tried running the calendar app and see if the gmail account shows up there?

I had tried running the calendar app but nothing shows up I even enter an event online thinking may bring it down but nothing. If you try to add an event on the phone it just says "You have no calendars". It is almost like the phone did not sync all the way to her account. I really don't want to reset her phone to factory default and have her set everything up again. She would not want to do that. She has already change the wallpaper all the screens downloaded apps, and changed ring tones.
I meant open the calendar app, press the menu button, press More then on Calendars and make sure the gmail account is listed there.
Also, this might be a stupid question but you're connected with Wifi or mobile network (3G, 2G, etc) right? Your phone signal bars should appear green if you're connected to Google's servers. If it's not green, you won't be able to sync.
I go to Calendar app > More > Calendars and there is nothing there, just have an Ok and cancel button. I have been on 3g, 4g, and wifi and nothing on any of them. Yes the the bars a green at the top.
I doubt you need to reset to factory so not to worry about that. Maybe you just have to wait a day or two. Either that or bring it back to the store and have them figure it out.
Might do that thanks. Hopefully it will work itself out.
You can also try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.
already tried that

maybe you should try and get the stock calendar.apk and re-install it...???
Ok I talked to Sprint and they said that is easiest way was to make sure that the phone was backed up to Google and just do a Factory Wipe. Basically wipe the phone and start over. So I did and that fixed the problem. So anyone who gets a new google phone and does not have all the google apps setup do that before you get the phone activated. I hope someone finds a better way because that is a major oversight on googles part. But everything is working great now.
Hi. I have email accounts. In settings under accounts both email accounts say sync is off. Yet when I go deeper into the accounts it shows I have them checking for email every half hour. So I have been manually checking them. Any idea how to turn the sync back on. It is quite annoying.
Thanks

Sounds like sync is off either on the accounts or globally... if you can't change it on the accounts try going to mobile data, options, sync... that can get turned off too...

Starting last night Gmail does not push any email to my phone. Any ideas what happened? Could I have stopped a process that it needs(not Gmail app)?
Did you check your settings? Not trying to be am a$$. Only reason I ask is cause Ive run the root process twice on my Note 3 so far. First time everything was fine. Second time I had to sign in tp google twice, and sync for gmail and other sync options weren't checked

I had this issue. I turned on WiFi and it started to push my emails. I turned it off and it seemed to work fine.
I tried it but it did not seem to work although I was not connected only had WiFi on.
I had this happen too. I had to go into gmail settings, and then click on my email addy. On this page go to the "manage labels" button and make sure your boxes are set to sync and notify. I use like 5 different inboxes so I had to enable sync for each one. It took me forever to find this and I was going insane trying everything to enable sync. I still have no idea what causes this activity.
I've had this happen on galaxy devices. I usually go to Gmail and clear and restore defaults then that usually fixes it. If not then go to accounts and sync and disable sync then re-enable it. One of those should work

I saw that the notify flag was off so I turned it on. I will see if that fixs the problem.
