[Q] [General Q] What happens when Gmail Sync is set to OFF? - ONE General

Hi.
Question:
If I disable Gmail Sync, does this mean that Gmail will only sync when I open the app? Or does it also mean that actions I take inside app won't sync across?
I am asking because I would like to increase battery life.
Thank you!

Gmail sync for items as ther arrive ?

Hi all.
Is there a way to set up Gmail account on HERO to get emails straight on me mobile and not have gmail to check every 5mins for them ?
It really annoys me that Im not able to get it done and have to wait for the mobile to sync every 5minutes...
I had nokia e71 before and it was working like a dream..and not to have Google system and not be able to do that???...
Thanks for any help
I take it you are not using the Gmail app, and are using HTC's email app?
Google sync now support ActiveSync for Exchange, so you can set up Gmail as it it were an exchange server, and have your email pushed out to you.
See here. The instructions don't include Android, but you should be able to work out what you need to do from the iPhone set up.

Thanks,
I have one exchange account setup already and it looks like I can not set any more ?

The Gmail app does get email pushed to it - there's no setting because that's how it always works.

Contacts and Google access

Hi -- if I do not use Gmail for my email, will Google grab any Contacts I place on the phone? If so, how can I prevent this?
to do so you have to go in settings, sync option and disable the contacts synchronization. Easy.

I see what you are saying, but would that not disable me from doing a PC to phone sync for a non-Gmail based email account?
I realize that Everything Is Connected is pretty much Android's theme song, but I need the ability to choose the connections.
Do you know what Google is up to in your phone when your eyes are closed?

My gmail wont notify me when a email comes in.

When an email come in, Gmail won't notify me. I checked that gmail notification was on. i don't know whats the problem. Can anybody help?

I also Know nothing about this
Most likely another app interfering. Do you have any SMS notification apps or anything else that affects notification services for something installed?
I don't think so. I think facebook and ads but that about it.
Are you sure gmail is running? Go into manage applications look for gmail and see if the force stop box is greyed out. If it is gmail isn't running
Have you got gmail checked for syncing under Accounts and Settings?
I know that ie ILWT has an option to install a version of Gmail app that should have something different about notifications,it may be your problem,try to search it...

You can have a try on clearing the cache of the gmail app (Settings -> Apps -> ...)

I second this. Did you just turn notifications on in the gmail app? You need to go into android settings, accounts & sync, click on your email address, then make sure gmail is checked.

You may want to search on google for a modified gmail app with something about notification or just check synching as they said...

[Q] contact sync with facebook photos

Am i missing something ? for some reason i cant get my facebook contacts (account) photos to synch up with my google /phone contacts and merge them together. previously on my HTC Evo this was done automatically and i had the option to sync all contacts, sync with existing contacts and this would allow peoples pictures to synch up properly. Is there something with the N4 thats different thats not allowing me to do that. thanks for the advice

This phone doesn't have native Facebook integration as do HTC phones, it's vanilla android after all. So its an issue with the Facebook app and eventually Facebook will fix it but don't hold your breath waiting for them they are slow. Most of my contact pictures synced up but I had some that refused to so I downloaded the app Contact Sync for Facebook and problem solved. This is the best sync app for Facebook I've seen.

I haven't tried that and at the moment I don't have my S8 with me, but tap and hold on your email app and when context menu comes app, tap "app info". There look for permissions and see what is turned on or off. This is just the theory and this is what I would first try to do.
Hello,
Thanks for the tip.
I'll write 5 mains email address each time I want to send one.
Regards
