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

i'm having trouble with my timescape app and it's driving me nuts ~~ when i turn the phone on ~ it'll show the latest news ie facebook miscall whatever on my main screen, and it'll stay there forever. what i mean is it won't change/update to another one even though it's newer. example, someone changes their status on facebook. it'll show that on my homescreen. 1 day later it'll still show the same one, with the exact same time stamp like 5mins ago 1hr ago etc etc.. how do i get it to change? the only way i can get it to gurantee change is turn off and turn back on the phone again. it's driving me nuts

well if u have a task killer installed, then that is stopping the timescape from updating. jus add timescape as a exception to the task killer nd it'll work fine..
or just uninstall the task killer...
cheers
i'll give it a try thx
Hate to steal this thread but its appropriately titled for this inquiry as well. I just got my X10....finally, and I can't seem to get timescape to sync with my gmail?? I would assume this is possible. When I go into "set up services" only facebook and twitter are available options and when I go into "set up an email account" it says that I already have an account set up, which is my work email through hotmail that I do not want to sync with timescape. Any thoughts??

Unfortunately Gmail dose not comes for timescape, only emails setup through standard email client of X10 will display.
If you don't want mails that configured via so called standard email to display, simply in the timescape mode click settings and untick customize tiles and splines
I don't have a x10 yet, but I'm planning on buying.
This I don't really understand.
I have a gmail and a hotmailaccount, and I like to have both in Timescape.
That is not possible?
Can you explain to me what my options will be to set up both accounts on the x10?
Thx
you can get both email accounts on the phone but only ur hotmail account will show up on ur timescape which isn't really that big of a problem
Hi - You CAN have your gmail on timescape as well as any other mail accounts.. if you go into the standard mail program (NOT the Gmail one).. add you're Gmail account into there and it will start popping up in Timescape too... it'll have it's own icon too (little red envelope if I remember right).
Thx for both your answers!
Now I can get myself a x10, knowing that I'm doing the right thing!

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 think it proven that the auto-sync with gmail is a battery killer, but I can't seem to update my calendar and contact with google unless I turn auto-sync on. bummer..
Can anyone help?
Have you treid to.... simply... update it manually?
if there is even such a button in the calender app to let you do that.. stupid huh? Or unless I am blind.
There is a refresh button at least in gmail.. but where is the button to manually refresh in the calendar app?
Or I just have to go into Setting>Account & Sync>Gmail>Sync Calender. All the time? That just really annoying and unproductive...
You could always create a shortcut for this screen in settings. Newest android has an option for that. This way it will be just 2 clicks to udpate manually.
Check out an application called Synker from Market. It is one-click-sync-all without enabling autosync.

Anyone using the Outlook app on their Nokia 6? After the phone has been inactive for a while, Outlook stops notifying and I only get the notifications when i turn on the screen. I'm sure this has something to do with "doze". I have disabled "battery optimization" (which I thought was doze) for the Outlook app, but doing so made no difference. How do I disable this stupid behavior? I don't care how much battery time it saves if the result is a crippled phone. What's the point of a smartphone that doesn't notify?

Hello! Nothing is wrong with the device..Don't blame it!
It's the app itself.. The outlook app doesn't support FETCH / PUSH
(PUSH consumes more battery since it always contacts the email server...but keeps you updated
FETCH mean it FETCHES the email server the between intervals)
instead use
Blue Mail
Which is I use for Hotmail and Gmail I've set it to PUSH mode so I'm way updated than manually updating..
:good:
Hi,
The notification for outlook doesnt pop. If i keep the app active , the notification works. But in background i get no notification
I tried following , but nothing works.
Lock outlook app in recents
Disabled smart power saver-> and enabled Allow background running
I guess app is being killed by coloros
Do you guys have same issue? Any solution?

Do you keep auto sync on all the time ? If so, it seems Outlook has rather weird behaviour. While gmail is responsive to push e-mail, to which your badge will appear accordingly. Outlook on the other hand will show the badge only if you refresh inbox manually (swipe/ pull down inbox). I'll comeback to you when I come up with solution.
Edit :
Try the following,
1. Make sure auto sync turned on
2. Go to Outlook setting (within the app)
3. On notifications, select "All mail"
4. Badge count, select "All"
5. Hope it works

Thanks
Notification works now :victory: Below are the steps
I have removed the outlook account and added again.
Disabled smart power saver-> and enabled Allow background running for outlook
On notifications, select "All mail"
Badge count, select "All"
One strange thing is the outlook [exchange] account isn't appearing in "account and sync" settings
1. Go to app info( by longpressing on app or by going via setting)
2. Now go to power saver option
3. Allow running in background
Done you will get notification for all the app

This thread was created because exactly the step you mentioned didn't work for outlook.

Below is partial solution. After below steps you have to launch the affected app frequently [for me weekly once]. I dont know any other way.
1. Disable smart power saver in settings->battery .
2.Go to custom power consumption protection->choose app->allow background running.
But the apps like gmail whatsapp doesnt have this issue. can Somebody explain??????
