Way to turn off app syncing? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone.
Is there any apps that I can use to disable background syncing that don't require root?
I currently use the Qualcomm BatteryGuru but noticed that FB and twitter among others keep enabling themselves even when I turn them off.
All I really want is Gmail running and everything else turned off when I'm not running them.
Thanks in advance.

Google Voice not Auto-Syncing

This problem just started yesterday. Google Voice is not syncing unless I manually refresh it. This leads to a lot of missed texts.
All data sync options are on, battery is set to performance mode, auto sync is enabled, sync only over wi-fi is off. I don't know what to do.
Can anyone help?
Also Gmail sync is not working.

I had this problem temporarily about a week ago. I had the sync button in extended controls and turned off syncing. I deleted.the widget and stated over and didn't have gmail out google voice because the sync was off in the settings. Not sure in your case though

I've got auto sync enabled in Power Control as well as SwitchPro. Also in Quick Settings and Settings. No dice.

Really sorry to hear this, as I use Google Voice for my texts. I wish I could give you some advice, but I can't. Reinstalling, wiping the cache, or a factory reset are the only things that come to mind.
Okay, I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it syncs but doesn't notify me until I open the app.

I had the same issue.You can set google to text you when you have a new voicemail. It'll send the message via the google voice app and show up in your notifications.

Market using my data connection

Like many of you I notice that when going to the market I see the H instead of my wifi. Try this for a fix. Goto setting then account sync unchecked background sync then to the market it will tell you to turn on background sync hit enable then turn background sync back on. Seems to help some.
Update: im still have the same issue

same issue here.
I turned off my data but everytime i use the market it would turn on the edge network.
Is there a fix for this? it's pretty annoying and cost battery. Won't cost money though because I have tmobile blocked my data.

[Q] Facebook Problem

I just upgraded to the Galaxy S4 and am running Omega 13.2 I have noticed that I only receive notifications for email (gmail) and text messages... Facebook, twitter and other apps are not coming through. I have checked and double checked that notifications are set to on in my Facebook settings, and I have tried disabling, them, restarting my phone, and re-enabling them with no success. I have also tried Friendcaster and atrium alternative apps. It's very annoying! Anyone else having this issue and know how to resolve it?
Do you receive the notifications on mobile data with WiFi off?
My gf gets notifications on mobile data but doesn't get them when connected to WiFi for some reason

[Q] Sync and lockscreen weather

Hi
Looks like our phone won't show weather animation because if the sync is turned off.
I dont know why. I have set the location and don't use locations service, but can't figure out why it needs sync to be on.
Is there a work around to enable animation with sync off??
