Hey,
When I have checked background data and unchecked auto sync, k9 syncs every 30 min as it should. But htc widgets like friends stream and news do not sync although they are set to do this every hour.
Is there a workaround for this (except activating auto sync, cause obviously I wanna have this disabled)?
Thx dom

K9 doesn't use system polling for synching - it has its own mechanism. Things like the standard widgets for facebook and twitter etc. use auto-sync which is why they don't work.
Why are you trying to turn off auto-sync, yet still wanting things to sync?
I noticed that the widgets sync all the time and not as they supposed to do only once an hour. I don't care about the data send, but I think the constant syncing drains the battery.
I'm going to sync em manually now, no big deal. I'm not a big twitter/facebook junkie anyway.

I have had a look through a few posts but I have not found a way of solving my problem.
The problem I am having is that Sync can take a long time and takes a lot of battery power. The two issues I am having with Sync is firstly, with "Facebook for HTC Sense" the 'Sync contacts' takes too long and sometimes not even sync up and with "Google" for 'Sync Calendar', this also takes an extremely long time and again sometimes does not complete.
Is there anyway of making these more efficient? I also have two Facebook syncs, one just "Facebook" containing just sync contacts (which syncs up up fine), the other "Facebook for HTC Sense" containing Sync Live Feed and Sync Contacts. Do I need both of these?
Thank you
When I had the issue with the innit process running it would take forever to sync for me. have u got usb debugging switched on

Have you disabled sync features you don't use? I disable all but web galleries & gmail.
The initial sync may take a while but subsequent sync's take seconds.
I turn the ones off that slow my phone down, but syncing calendar and contacts are important so I need to be able to sync them. My USB debugging is off, shall I turn it on?
Yes there is a software bug that causes your processor to run at 90% and causes syncing to run slow and lag, check the forum for (Innit process bug) everything explained there!

First of all, this isn't a major issue, or may be due to T-Mobile or something, but my phone is 1+ minutes behind everywhere else, like train/bus times, TV, computers, etc..
It also means when I get a text message, then reply within a minute, it puts my reply before the text message...
Also, how the f**k do I stop Facebook syncing?
I have both Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense under "Accounts & Sync" and Facebook is fine, it just syncs contacts and works
Facebook for HTC Sense however, syncs both contacts and live feed. They DON'T sync at all, no matter how long you leave them, it just shows the syncing icon. I disabled them both, but when I restart my phone they're back again
Another issue is that sometimes the internet just won't load any pages sometimes. The bar just loads like 90% then stops and won't load anything until I restart my phone (again, this could be T-Mobile)
Any suggestions? I'm using the stock ROM (before OTA) with S-OFF
What the heck? I probably won't provide any useful information, but perhaps your settings aren't set to automatically detect the time?
I don't have any real solution for you but if you have s/off and you like sense why don't you try flashing virtouos rom or do a wipe and factory reset.

Thanks for the replies
It's definitely set up to use the network time. Not sure why it sets the time of my messages to 1 minute behind, but the texts I receive have the proper time (1 minute in front of my phone time)
bahmanxda, I don't really bother with custom ROMs. I've tried a few but don't see the point in them (I use the stock ROM but removed all the bloat and other rubbish from them, plus I don't want to overclock my CPU yet)
Maybe you could remove the "Facebook for HTC Sense" account altogether from "Accounts & Sync?"
I use the Facebook app though, and I also use the Facebook contacts sync, will removing it affect either of those?
My wife's Pro has lost auto-sync with Gmail. It used to do it, and has stopped. The sync setting screen for the Pro is much different than my evo- not sure if I am not finding the right screen or if it doesn't exist.
This happened "around" the time I rooted it with z4r, but not sure if it was caused by the root.
Anyone have this problem or know where I can find sync "settings"?
I have the same problem, its quite annoying having to manually sync both accounts juts to check mail. Im about to give up on the gmail app and just go through the regular email app.
Edit; im giving k-9 mail client a shot. I added my 2 gmail accounts and froze the regular gmail app for the time being.
I do not know which apps require the gmail app but im sure I will find out soon enough.
At least now I have a client that syncs my mail.
I know I can use the regular mail app for gmail but I wanted to try out k-9. Perfect excuse to do so
What's so damn annoying is that it used to do it perfect and now won't...
Put the Power Control widget on ur homescreen. Is the 2nd icon from the right enabled or disabled?

Anyone have problems with mail syncing?
It seems to have stopped working and only syncs when I go in the app.

I don't have book and changing calendar has not made a difference. Also noticed that it happens on TI backup now. Not sure if it is related
I've even done factory a reset and nothing has changed. No idea why!
must be a way to get this going again...can't clear data in the app section which is odd
I have this with my school e-mail since they installed exchange server 2010. To fix it (temporarily), you have to clear all the categories on all the events in your calendar (via outlook, thunderbird or web-based) and then re-apply them.
Note: it is temporary because every so many weeks, the issue reappears.
Yep. Same here. Noticed it a few weeks ago and thought it was just me. Had a major clearout on the phone (new SD card, hard reset, etc. etc.) and it's still a problem.
So it's standard HTC ROM (2.3.3) and I'm syncing with MS Exchange. As the OP says, there is no sync unless I open the app, irrespective of changes made to the scheduling. For what it's worth it's currently set to sync every 10 mins Mon-Fri 9.00 until 18.00 and then every hour off-peak.
Hi
Not sure if there is anything that will do this..
Normally I have my 3G/wifi disabled.
I'm looking for an email app that will periodically (every xx mins ) enable the 3G, login to multiple mail accounts ( SMTP & Gmail ) check for new messages, disconnect from the 3G and tell me account A as 2 new messages, account B has 1 new.... etc.
I'm not to bothered about receiving the full message, but getting the headers would be nice !!
Is there any thing like that ?
Thanks
Mate...
Not too sure if there is, but I'd be keen too.
I think your best bet is probably going to be standard email programs with some additional manager like tasker or automateit sitting on top doing the switching on and off.

I use juice defender on my wildfire, turns 3g/WiFi off when my screen goes off, but you can set it up to ping autosync at set time intervals........ valuable tool for my poor battery life.
