Sorry guys, i'm not new indeed but i can't figure out how android background data and auto sync works...
The story is i installed Whats App today...
I turned both background and auto sync off, and i found that i can receive Whats App message instantly
My question is there some way to bypass my setting? Or is there any other way to set background data?
If there are some other way to set it, i would like to set only facebook, google calendar and whats app can access background to reduce battery consume
Sorry for my poor english

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
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.

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.
Hello everyone
I'm pretty new to the android-community (previously owned an ihone) and now I am wondering how i might turn off the background sync of facebook on my SE arc.
The problem is: that it seems like that the facebook app somehow constantly checks for new facebook events and get's em in my notification bar.... how can i suppress this or even deactivate this sync?
Is there anyway a tool or method on how I can check which apps do background sync and a solution on how to deactivate it?
Many thanks in advance!
Fabook app... Click menu buttin then settings then set the refresh interval to never
