[Q] Where are the Sync options? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have recently updated to 4.1.2. I'm unable to find where is the option to enable/disable the automatic sync. In the last version, it was at the right of the notification bar. Now I just cannot find it! My workaround was to use the S-Note settings that allows to change the auto sync state. Any clue?

[Q] How do I turn on auto-sunc for account/s?

On other android systems I can check on little boxes besides. But for Note 2 I could only touch to sync manually.
Why is the auto-sync always disabled?

I think what should be done is:
-Pull down your notification bar
-Slide the toggle panel all the way to the right
- touch the sync icon to enable or disable sync.

That sync button has disappeared with the new Multi-window update. So how do I enable autosync, now? All of my accounts simply say "sync disabled" and I can't figure out how to enable it again!

in my Note 2, i went to settings, display, and there is a Notofication panel.
tapped on it, and it displayed all the notification icons that i can enable when i do actually go to the notication screen or not
i dragged the sync icon the display portion of the notification row
closed app
then from the home screen, swiped my finger from top to the bottom of the screen, the sync button is there. In my case it was disabled, enabled and all is working fine
see if you have the same or not
TMobile did an update today. Changed the kernel and baseband versions. I also am missing the sync icon in the pull down menu and my accounts say sync disabled.
I also had that problem yesterday.
I fixed it with inzee suggestion.
I have the Verizon Note2 SCH-I605 and it does not have anyplace to Enable or disable SYNC. I also do not have any Notification settings under DISPLAY.. so I have no idea how to disable much less To Enable Syncs.

Im thinking this might have something to do with the 4.1.2 update. I suspect the ones that posted in this thread and were able to fix the problem did not have the newest update. Can anyone that has the newest 4.1.2 verify they still have the sync icon on the pull down page or either have a Notification Panel in the Display Settings where Icons can be added or removed? I dont.......... Anyone?
Workaround
I could not find a stock solution for the verizon note 2. I ended up adding a beautiful widget for that switch and it worked again.

I dont think you read the entire thread. This function seems to have disappeared with the latest 4.1.2 ATT update. At least it has for me and the poster that you replied to but Im having trouble getting anyone else with the ATT version to verify

I've just registered to thank you very much. This was the right answer to the problem:
AFTER updating the Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 from Android 4.1 to 4.1.2 the Sync icon on the top bar disappeared (it was replaced by the "Multi-Window" icon). The Sync icon/tab was there before updating.
I spent many hours trying to find the way to get it back without luck until I did a research on the web (also spending many hours) and then I found your answer, which is correct: you can select which icon will appear on the top bar. I didn't know about that feature. You can even remove some and put others.
It shouldn't depend or be linked to any provider at all, it's part of the Android 4.1.2 O.S. (probably 4.1 too).
So thank you very much once again

Thank you for your response Drake. I was beginning to think it was just me. Apparently this is only the case with ATT I317 update as HDcam posted above he still has this option under Settings>Display>Notification after the 4.1.2 update on the 7100....... It must me a glitch in the ATT update, which doesnt surprise me. They are goofballs.

That's pretty bad indeed..
I didn't know a provider would modify such bascic O.S. options like these.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 was purchased without contract to any provider, and I downloaded the update directly using the Software Update icon in the Apps. (which in fact is a shortcut to Settings ->About this device -> Updates .-Sorry if the English translation is not 100% accurate) It was about 250 MB of download.

Good catch SM.......... so THAT is where they hid it!!
Nice to know but since I thought they had done away with it, I found a neat workaround that I like even better than the original toggle. Its called Widgetsoid.... a real neat app and does many other things

[Q] gmail panel notification stop working.

Hello guys, my gmail notification doesn’t work anymore: the email is received correctly so the sync works, and if I use another notifier (like Go Notification app) it works, but not the gmail notification. It stops working I presume after installed the K9mail app, for fix the annoying issue for long mail cut by gmail ( I wasn’t able to see my Expedia reservation LoL), but now seems that Google finally fix that bug.
I tried several times to clear/stop/sync unsync, but nothing! I uninstalled K9mail, downgrade gmail…nothing: the gmail notification in the panel doesn’t want to show up, all others notification are ok, even the standard samsung mail app.
Of course the gmail settings are ok: sync, notification panel and so on.
I’m pretty sure there is somewhere a conflict, but really no idea where.
Any advice?
I’ve a At&T stock rom JB 4.1.1 Rooted.
Thanks

If you are using the latest Gmail inbox with categories, then notification is enabled by default on the primary folder only. To enable for other folders, open the folder eg updates, click on menu>label settings. Check label notification and notify for every mail.

Doesn't work. I searched around internet and seems there was a bug with K9mail notification and Gmail. They fixed but apparently not completely. Before i installed K9mail everything was ok, now there is something messed up, and my gmail notifications are gone.

[Q] How Do I Get Gmail & Calendar Notifications To Not Vibrate On Cm 10.1.2?

Am running CM 10.1.2 on my Galaxy Nexus. I have tried many combinations of settings, but no matter what I do, I seem to always get a "vibrate" notification, if I want Gmail to display in the notification area. Same issue with calendar.
In Gmail settings for my account, I have notifications set to on.
It appears that unless I set Inbox sound & vibrate so that "label notifications" are "on," then Gmail won't display in the notification area.
Love CM 10.1.2 but this is very annoying.

This was already deselected... This appears to be a common problem per this thread: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39592
I just tried LightFlow which seems to be a reasonable workaround.
any update on this? My SMS and Corporate email both vibrate no matter what settings I choose....

I think I finally solved the problem, at least on CM 10.2. Not sure if your ROM supports profiles, but see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43133193&postcount=2
It's kind of buried, so see the attached which will show you my settings...

This has been bugging me for months. I'd actually resorted to using "Quiet Hours" in the Sound settings and making it from 12:00 am - 11:59 pm, which make vibrate never work with anything. I can't believe that anyone would want to constantly get vibrating notifications for email... It's also amazing that this is so buried and NOT obvious...

Don't know about voice assistant bug as I use it but Chrome syncs up just fine. I see all my bookmarks, history, and tabs. Maybe try logging out of Chrome on your desktop and logging back in. And maybe the same thing for your phone.

Ever since I updated to Android 7.0 I was unable to use file transfer or ADB. This has to do with my phone for sure. Not the drivers on my PC.
My Wifi drops and reconnects whenever I take the phone out of my pocket and open an app that uses data. My data usage has gone up significantly with the Wifi drops. Appears there's others having problems on google product forums with no workaround at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!

One of possible fixes I can think of is to open your wifi settings and look for "Keep WiFi on during sleep". If you had set it up correctly before update it shouldn't change but who knows.
If above doesn't help, I think the problem is located somewhere in system files but other than searching for it, I suggest you to do a full wipe and clean install

It appears 4x1 for me, just remember that the phones screen is 5x5 so even 4 can't fill it completely

I'm experiencing the same problem and I'm not the only one. Do a search on 'nougat wifi problem' and you'll get several hits. Unfortunately, no real solutions. Google advises a reset to factory settings, but that doesn't help everybody. They also tell to reset network settings. This does seem to help me, but when I start manually adding/saving networks and I hit 12, I will loose all visible networks and when I turn WiFi off and on, the device keeps on scanning for networks.
An "issue" (221056) was opened at code.google.com/p/android, but it's been more than 2 weeks and Google still hasn't resolved the situation...
Added a new bug on first message
Weather widget bug solved
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature but it actually annoys the hell out of me. While on the lockscreen, pulling down the notification shade (pulling down from the status bar) doesn't expose the quick toggle settings, instead it attempts to pull down the entire notification shade (if there are any notifications) or the quick settings panel. Cool. Whatever. Except the entire Notification Shade or Quick Settings panel comes down and then immediately retracts up. Swiping down from the status bar again results in the same behavior. I can do this over and over until I finally get angry and unlock the phone, even though all I wanted to do was turn off Bluetooth or something. So stupid.
Microphone lockscreen bug still on 7.1.1
