Can how I update my calendar and contact without auto-sync

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.

Facebook background sync

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

It will tell u and all that u need do is once after it restrtd login from the pop up using facebook same id on app
and while logging allow permisson then it will ask to sync calender and gallery check whichever u like and then just ok after that u wont get that notifications
Hope this helps

or if you're rooted, you can just freeze SNS Login or uninstall it using Titanium backup to get rid of it once and for all

Ive got root and will delete it.

Google calendar app reminders: sync problems

Reminders are non syncing properly in app and widget on Android (ok on wev).
Here's my scenario, tested on a phone and a tablet.
Add reminder in app: it shows on Web but not on app and not on widget.
Force sync in app: still nothing on app and nothing on widget.
Add normal event in app: even is added on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder now shows up also on app and on widget.
Delete reminder in app: reminder is deleted from Web but not from app and not from widget.
Delete event in app: event is deleted on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder is also deleted from app and from widget
It seems the problem is a display problem.
For example, if I modify a reminder on app, the changes appear on Web but not on app, still if I click the reminder in app it is opened with the changes made.
Also, if I delete a reminder from app, it is deleted from Web but not from app, yet if I click the reminder on app I get an error "reminder not found. As a proof: if I set a reminder it does not show in app but I get a notification when time comes!!!!!!!
I am having the same problem on Tab S2 8"
On the calendar forum someone us suggesting it's only a Samsung problem.
Anyone else?
Thanks

Please can someone try?
Google keeps on telling it's a Samsung problem.

Is there someone willing to try please?
I'm not asking too much, just try and see if you have the same problem as myself.

Thanks

Try deleting the apps data and cache in settings. Do the same to google framework

Outlook notification isn't working

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

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??????
