Mine all synced up yesterday before I got into my car after leaving the T-Mobile store! Stupid question but are you sure the sync settings on your phone are all set up? I had them not work in the past on my HD2 but then later they would...

it wont sync contacts or messages itll sync the calender..everything else is syncing properly even the actual facebook app just not the social hub app.

Same here! No go for FB for Social Hub Contacts or Messages, Cal is OK though..
Regular FB syncs Contacts fine though.... what gives?

I finally got my pics to all sync up but there is allot of my fb friends that dont even show up in my contact list. Would appreciate any help.

i've got Facebook syncing my contact list just fine, as well as messages
and got 2 separate FB apps running

K9 email app (or similar) vs android Gmail app

Has anyone experimented on things like battery usage with K9 email app vs the native Gmail app? The problem is that I would still need to "sync" contacts and calendar but I don;t really have to have "push" email like with the Gmail app. I could sync every 15 min or so.
Will battery life be better with K9 ?

Try MailDroid...It's also free and in my opinion better.

I am using k9, i freezed gmail, no battery problems for me

[Q] Native ICS email Exchange suddenly wakelocking?

Anyone using Exchange on the native email client suddenly notice a huge battery drain/wakelock with Exchange server?
I haven't changed my email setup in weeks and I've never had this problem before. My phone is a little over 5 hours off charger and at 19%! Exchange services is at 19% with a 1h 13m wakelock on BBS.
I have Gmail and Hotmail (yeah, yeah) accounts both set up as push. Only the Gmail syncs contacts and calendar (I've double-checked everything). I probably get ~20 emails/day or so.
Until today, I would get >24 hours with light usage, and a full day with heavier usage. This literally started today out of the blue.
I searched all of XDA and the GN forums specifically and didn't see anything that addressed this particular issue. Any suggestions?
TIA

Anyone?
The actual service is com.android.exchange.Exchange Services

The weird thing is that it just started doing this, even though I haven't changed any settings in weeks. And not having push email would suck...

This has happened to me from time to time on CM and AOSP ROMs, but not on my GN yet. It's a Google problem IIRC and something that they "fixed" in the past, but they obviously haven't.
I'd observe this 1/10 nightly ROM flashes so I'd keep an eye on it for the first couple of hours afterwards and kill it if it was starting to go rogue.
It's a known, flagged, issue (on Google) but I don't have the link handy.

i noticed similar Exchange Mail behavior on my phone with any ROM that i flashed. i narrowed the constant-sync to my calendar. when i disabled calendar sync, the battery drain stopped. my research suggested the problem was related to a corrupt calendar or recurring calendar entries. so i archived all my Exchange calendar entries (which removed them from my calendar) removed then re-added the Exchange account to my phone and finally restored the calendar entries i needed. so far, no issues and i've flashed 3 ROMs and the problem has not returned. somewhat extreme, but it worked!

I have no issues with stock Exchange and Gmail apps on rooted 4.0.4.
You could try deleting and recreating the email accounts to see if that helps.

Also got the issue this night. 25% gone after 4 hours sleep, wakelock because of the Exchange service ... Disabled google sync, then reenabled it 2 hours later, and no problem ... It gets stuck somehow sometimes ...

I had the same problem on my SGS2 on ICS. I finally had no choice but to migrate my email to Google Apps. In the end it was the best decision since the Archive function on the GMail app is amazing and it simply works 10x better than any Exchange ActiveSync client.
The Google Apps connector for Outlook also works almost as well as Exchange Server.

[q] onex and facebook ;o

Hi, yesterday my facebook friendstream has stopped updating posts. I've added twitter account for the test and it's working well. I've cleared caches and datas of all fb&htc sync related apps, deleted all my accounts and none of this helped + i've noticed that even native Facebook widget is not updating (it's blank with buttons), app itself is working perfectly though... i don't know whats wrong... facebook is having problems or just my phone? :laugh:

Got the same issue, must be having sync issues with FB. Friendstream doesn't update.

Glad to hear it (ekhm well not, but you know what i mean )... i've spent 1hour for nothing . Ty...

Who has SYNC ALL on?

Just curious who has the sync all accounts on from the notification centre? How does it affect your battery life and what does it really do?
Thanks.

I have mine on at all times, but I only sync one exchange email account. The battery life on this phones is ridiculous. Its the first phone I've owned that I can get a FULL day out of.

Ya, I agree it lasts all day!!! I'm just a little paranoid on the battery life. I know it's great, but I'd like to turn off unless items off to increase further
I have dropbox, facebook, exchange, google, samsung accounts synced. Not sure if this is kill my battery. I have maps and ebay waking up my device a few hundred times in a few hours. Not sure why, but can't find a fix.

I use autostarts to disable maps from running at boot. Everything works fine but I don't get wakelocks anymore.
I run sync for GMail, FB, and G+. Amazing battery life still.
