i cant seem to get push to work on my evo, i know it was working on my previous evo but when i set my email up it no longer pushes and i can only find settings for pull and download frequency. I read somewhere that only gmail pushes to android and am using my gmail account but still no luck, any ideas why its not working?
just taking a guess here so dont shoot me, but you haven't turned off the data sync feature have you?
no i dont think so if i did how do i turn it on
either the android control widget (its the circle with arrows in a circle)
or go to menu, settings, accounts and sync, and ensure background data and auto-sync are selected
Hey guys, under settings, there is this 'Privacy' setting where there are back up my settings and automatic restore. What is it actually for? Do I have to check them on?
This feature allows the phone to save some settings e.g. wallpaper, WiFi networks connected to, apps downloaded to the cloud. Then if you ever factory reset your phone, after having entered your Google account in the intial setup, those setting will be restored automatically.
What exactly are being backup? Applications?
Anyone has any ideas on this setting of what it does?
Do you need to setup HTC Sense for this to be working?
i flashed aosp 4.0.4 from the imm76d build from rootzwiki here
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21626-aosp-404-stock/
and since flashing, no emails are pushed to my phone. i have to go into gmail and press the sync key. this occurs on both wifi and 3g networks. i used titanium to restore my system settings but i double checked and syncronize gmail is selected on all of my accounts.
does anyone have any first troubleshooting suggestions?
thanks!
First off, restoring system settings/data with Titanium Backup is rarely a good idea.
Also, have you checked if general "background data" and "auto sync" settings are enabled?
You can try adding the Power Control widget and using that toggle to turn on/off background sync also. Sometimes people check those and forget.

background data is enabled. sync is set to on. gmail sync is on for all of my accounts.
are you referring to the stock power control widget with android 4.0 that has slots for wifi, gps, sync, brightness? yup, sync is enabled on that as well.
trying a factory restore without titanium restore of system settings, only apps.
I figured out that I can set Tasker to sync my Google account at specific intervals so I can leave autosync off. I used "Synker" as a plugin.
I have two questions left however:
1.) What is the default sync interval for Google if I leave it to auto sync? I don't want to make a shorter sync interval by mistake.
2.) How do I keep push notifications; I don't want to be unaware when someone sends me a message. (or do I even need to keep push notifications to know when someone messages me?)
thanks
Does anyone know of a simple desktop widget to toggle Google/gmail sync on and off?
