hello,
i flashed to 6.5 official and i was wondering if there is any easy way to sync all of my data calender and contacts to my phone now, im really used to the google system. and yes im coming from a g1
Google sync
unfortunately google sync for Windows mobile is a big pile of pooo.
It would sync once, after that you will most likely encounter a problem on scheduled syncs.
At least in my case, i would sync it once installed a new ROM, then delete the exchange settings from the Active sync. This will stop you from going crazy after several failed attempts to synchronize after
Can't you just set up the mobile exchange feature of Google? Not to use a bad word, but my Wiff's iphone is set up that way and all contacts/calendar/email are in perfect sync with her google account? I just selected the "Exchange" configuration.
I have to admit that I have yet to try it with my TP2... I would think if anything it would work just as well
I'm syncing my contact, calendar and mails via active sync protocoll too and it works fine (using google as like as an exchange server, not the separate google sync program).
but it seems you have to exclude items from syncing which you have not activated yet: i don't use "Tasks" in my google account, and until i deactivated it in the exchange/AS settings, i got sync errors. but after deactivating "Tasks"-syncing i never got errors again...
It should be the the same procedure if other components are unused, because if you create a googlemail-mailbox, you'll get contacts too, but no tasks nor calendar. those have be created/activated manually in your google account.
thankS! that removing tasks made it work. although i cant seem to see my contacts. do u think i have it set up where it wont import the google contacts for any reason?
THis may be obvious, but under activesync, make sure that you have Contacts checked off..I don't know if they are all enabled by default
yes that one is selected. i have a lot of contacts that i dont want to manually set up again please let me know if anyone has had this problem and resolved it or thinks they can help me.
but so far i really like this phone!
UPDATE: restarted phone and works even better now! ALL my contacts and now I have 3G instead of H
So....
my Note 2 stopped automatic sync. This is not restricted to any specific account (gmail, calendar, 3rd party apps) but it happens across the board. I checked all possible syncing settings, in general and for each app to make sure that automated syncing is enabled. Still, the only time device syncs is when I restart it/turn it on or when I manually sync it, by turning off and then turning on sync button on Notification Panel.
I have several google accounts on my device and I really don't want to remove all the accounts and set them up again if I don't have to.
Anyone experienced anything like this and has word of advice?
Im running nameless rom and have no issues with sync.
Hi!
I have 5.1 version Android and for some reason when going to mail app it says that autosync is off - even I've turned it on. This is really annoying because there is my corporate email what I have to read :crying:
Data limitation (mobile data) is off and there is a tick at automatic sync at Accounts & sync.
And even if Email is not "push" mode gmail app is syncing... Anybody could help me?
Just wondering what data is synced to the cloud? I understand it syncs WiFi passwords and Hangouts which makes sense.
But what about:
SMS
Phone Calls
Facebook
Email (not gmail)
Other apps
I don't want all my notifications syncing to the GOOGLE cloud and its not clear how this works exactly and im not ready to "test" it.
You will receive every notification you would normally get, so all of the ones which you mentioned.
I'm also not sure how it works but I don't think the notifications are stored for a longer time in the Google cloud. I think the feature is quite useful as it happens that I leave the Bluetooth range at home and the watch connects by WiFi then.
Under Accounts & Sync, I only have one main toggle for syncing all accounts.
Previously on Samsung in 4.4 I had toggles for each account.
I would like to sync some accounts but I do not wish to sync google contacts, data etc. If I disable sync then nothing syncs (email, etc). I would like to use the play store.
I am currently deleting the google account and turning sync ON . Then when I wish to install something, I turn sync OFF, login to google, install apps, then logout etc...
I'd like to somehow install apps without having to sync other google data if that's possible. This was possible on a samsung with 4.4.
I don't know if this is an Android version issue, a ROM issue or something else. I am currently using Fulmics 6.7
I've never used the stock ROM.

Anyone have any ideas?
