Hey,
All I'm wondering is there any way to make my Desire autosync emails Facebook etc.. on WiFi, but not on mobile data?? Is there an app or could somebody create something??
Thanks

I'm not aware of such a thing. But until you figure it out or someone points you in the right direction, you can do this:
1. Go to "Settings" > "Accounts & sync". Disable "Background data" and "Auto-sync".
2. Keep the following 2 widgets: Wifi settings and Sync All.
- When you are in range of a wifi network, toggle on your wifi radio.
- Once connected, tap the "Auto-sync" widget to sync all your stuff.
- Toggle off your wifi radio when done.
ok thanks mate
my issue about syncing:
I've link my phone contact with facebook. i've set my facebook to auto sync. it works well syncing event & updates & contact picture of my contact but when my friends changed the profile pic on their facebook, my desire won't change the contact picture according to their facebook profile pic.

I can see how to Manually Refresh the Calendar (Menu --> Refresh in the Calendar App) and Facebook feeds but cannot see the option to Manually Refresh Facebook Contacts and Google Contacts.
Where is this? Thanks
You can do Google contacts via...
Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Manage Accounts, Google -> Sync Contacts
I'm not sure if you can do Facebook contacts that way too though, as I don't use Facebook.
Thanks but that's how you do it automatically.
You have to mess around enabling and then disabling it again. The Sync button cannot be used unless you enable (tick) it but by doing so, you're also enabling the Automatic Sync. Yes it also works for Facebook Contacts but the same rule applies.
I'm not sure there's an option like the one for the calendar, but if you're concerned about how often this is happening, and want to only allow updates on demand, one option would be to use the "Power Control" widget and you could then control them all with one click on, or off.
Probably not quite what you're after, but the best compromise I can think of at the moment!
Maybe someone else will have a better idea...
Thanks. I'll have a look. What does the half moon with antenna coming out of it button do? On this widget.
That switches the GPS on or off.
Ah. Thanks.
Hello, how do I set sync intervals and what to sync on my desire?
I don't want contacts nor picasa (just calendar and mail), and I would like to know how often it syncs.
Thank you

settings>accounts and sync>tick auto sync>click on google>tick what you want to be synced>back>disable auto sync.
you cant choose when to sync calendar or picassa or contact, to choose the mail sync frequency go to settings in mail and do it from there,

I was pretty sure I already checked "account and sync"...thanks!
Anyway, I just disabled picasa and contacts.
I forgot to say that I use GoogleMail and not Mail, so it should be push email right? How does this work exactly? I noticed I receive emails within seconds/a minute tops, does it mean I'm always connected? Does it affect battery life a lot?
Thanks again
I cant see that push email is better on battery but will be better on data. Unless push signals the phone over the 2g network then there cant be any savings battery wise. I think all you may see is a data saving with push email. I stand to be corrected!

I must be being thick here - didn't know you could sync Picasa and can't find in Mail Settings how to set a schedule for Google Mail?
dont know about picasa but gmail is a push app so you cant set a check schedule unless you are using gmail as pop3 through a 3rd party app
Hi all!
I'm having 2 problems with my DHD and hope in some help
Infos:
Current ROM is Android Revolution.
Atm I have only Wi-Fi connection.
In "Accounts & sync" I have only Fb for HTC sense and Google accounts.
I have no standalone FB apps installed.
1) Resolved. See the 2nd post.
I have unchecked in calendar the option to show facebook events etc, i.e. in the menu -> more -> calendars , the only checked is the one connected with my mail.
Now the problem is that it starts syncing and never finish ( the sync icon in the status bar never disappears even if I disconnect and disable wi-fi ).
In this situation if I go in "Accounts & sync", I find the button "Cancel Sync" but nothing is syncing ( no circular icon moving ).
If I go to "Running services" I find: Calendar, process: com.htc.bg -> FacebookSyncStreamService
even if I have NO FB calendar in the settings! And it stays here even if I turn off wi-fi! The only way is to press "cancel sync" in "Accounts & sync" and the service stops and the icon in the status bar disappears.
I already tried to delete settings, cache etc but the problem returns every time I re-add the HTC Sense Facebook account..
2) the second problem is that in "Running services" I have this:
Sound set, process: com.htc.sdm -> SDMService which I never seen before ( in the previous ROMs ) and which is eating my battery! causing a partial wake usage in stand by ( actually it never goes to stand by because of this.. ).
What's this service? and how to remove it?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance for all your help
lol
I resolved the first problem.
It was related to the fact that I removed the stupid "FriendStream" app from the AR 3.1 zip before flash but this is required for the "Facebook for HTC Sense" to work...
so the solution is remove both, or neither ^^
Still the 2nd problem remains and help is needed
Its the htc sound set service in htc hub, try removing your sence.com account, or change sync settings

I deleted HTC hub from the ROM zip before flash, so it's not installed :/, I don't have the sense account, in settings I have only Google and Facebook sync and I'm using the default ringtone
This process is related to soundset. Are you using the default soundset or have you set up your ringtones and everything manually? Change your ringtones and everything and see that helps.

Thanks for all your suggestions
In settings says HTC default 2010 and I've never charged it. I only changed the ringtone to old phone
No news? ;_; I'm still having this stupid process draining my battery ;_;
I can sync contacts from gmail to my phone but I cannot sync contacts from my phone to gmal?
I have tried deleting an re adding account no luck
Any ideas?
Check your Gmail settings on your google account using a full browser on PC.
The contacts toggle in your personal settings may be turned off.
Google has changed many things as of late, and settings will change without our knowledge....g
Where is this contact toggle you speak of ? I cannot seem to find it
On gmail my contacts have a check in my contacts box
But they sync from gmail to my note 2 but what is on my note 2 will not sync to gmail
this is frustrating lol
Is your " auto sync app data" box checked ?
Open your phone dialer application, and go into your settings within the app. It's under "accounts". And verify the box check. Its under your email address.
The auto sync interval is controlled by the general settings of the device I believe.....g
Edit: The auto sync controls all information being synced to your contacts and of course the opposite holds true....g
The Accounts & Sync is gone from menu after update? Well, the way to see it and control it it's easy. Go to Settings : Setup guide : and at step four there you go, Accounts & Sync.: Do whatever you want from there : Sync automatically and allow data transfer in the background or don't.
IF THIS HELPED YOU : HIT THE THANKS BUTTON.
The auto-sync menu option has been moved...and there i no longer a widget for it for whatever reason...
you don't have to go through the setup guide though...
settings> data usage> options (lower left key)> check or uncheck 'Auto-sync data'...thats the only way to reach it anymore...
after you set up syncable accounts, they'll show up in the settings, such as google, drop box, facebook, etc...you can modify what to sync and everything still...you just can't quickly turn off auto sync like in the past...kind of dumb, as i'd very often disable sync when driving with my phone hooked up to the car and using data for music or something...i don't need to have everything interrupted for a random email or whatever...
but oh well...
True. And yes,that's one way to do it.
app
I download an app called sync settings on play store and it really helped me to find that sync settings
Well cheerios to you
