Google contacts syncing all the time?

For some reason my Google contacts are syncing all the time... every time i check when they synced last its always 3 minutes prior to my check time... It really seems like it is killing battery life, is there a way to set it to only sync once a day or something?

Menu>>settings>>accounts&sync>>disable auto sync.

There is no way to tell autosync to only sync every so often? My only option is to disable it completely?

[Q] Email and App Sync Management

Hi;
I am the proud new owner of a DHD having just migrated from an iPhone 3G, this phone is just awesome but will take a heck of a lot of getting used to, its not a smart phone its a god dam technical revelation!!!
Anyway, I set up email (BT Yahoo), Facebook, Twirtter, Skype and created a Google Mail Account (Had to do download apps) but its not setup in mail yet.
After setting the above up I noticed that 3G was constantly on, is this normal?
Anyway my question is how do prevent Facebook et al from constantly syncing? On my iPhone they would only sync when I opened the application.
Also once an application has been opened how do I know / make sure that it is off, does simply switching to another screen switch it off or is it still running in the background using up batter charge?
Many thanks in advance.

Go to Settings / Accounts & syncs
Under there there is Auto-sync check box, you can check and select what to sync over there.
My question is How can I set Gmail check status on a random basis, once I check out Google it's immediatly push mail but I want it to check it i.e. every 4 hours.
How can I do that?

There's the option in the mail app I think. You can set two modes, for example 1h intervals during tha day and 4h at night etc.

[Q] Email Does not sync Automatically

hello everyone
I got the ONE X last night, and I am having a problem in automatically receiving my Emails.
I have set An Exchange Email, Gmail, and Yahoo mail using the device's mail app.
the "Auto-Sync" is Deactivated to save battery and avoid syncing other accounts.
in the mail settings of the Exchange Account, I set the "Peak time Sync" to (Push mail) which means (I guess!!) I would get the Email as soon as it reaches the account.
in the Gmail and Ymail, the Least time available on the "Peak time sync" is 5 minutes.
in either case, I am unable to receive the Emails unless I start the app and manually refresh!!!
the Email reaches Ymail or Gmail on the Laptop, I wait for more than 20 minutes with no notification on the device!
I didn't have this problem when I had the Galaxy SII, and sometimes the Exchange Email reached the device before the Laptop!!
this is very annoying and any suggestion is welcome!
I do not wanna go for the Ymail app from the Market or any other Exchange support app!
NOTE: the Gmail application in the Device behaves the same way,, does not sync until I manually refresh from the app itself

If you want to receive pushed data, auto-sync must be on.

When I had the SGSII I never turned the Auto-Sync On, and I used to get the Emails all the time very quickly!
Both are Android I do now know what is the problem!

Does any one have an idea about this issue??

as pa64 said, the emails will not sync with auto-sync disabled
turn it on and turn off auto sync manually for each app you don't want it to sync

I will give it a try. But doesn't this affect the battery life? Which is already not good?

possibly. but you can either turn it on and have push email or leave it off and have to manually check.
afaik auto-sync is a system wide switch for all updating. if you manually turn it off for everything other than mail only mail will be polling for updates. and there was some stuff a couple of years ago (with the iphone) that seemed to conclude that push is actually pretty battery efficient.

[Q] Email Sync Issue

I am having a weird issue with email syncing. I have several email and exchange accounts set up with syncing scheduled for every 5 minutes (and push for the exchange accounts) with peak times disabled so that it is supposed to sync every 5 minutes 24/7. I have this exact same setup on my galaxy s3 without issue.
The problem is that 8AM and 5PM everyday syncing stops and will not continue automatic syncing unless I manually sync one time. For example, email was syncing every 5 minutes as schedule before 8AM. Now once it turns 8AM, it does not sync automatically anymore. Around 9AM, I check, and the last sync is anywhere between 7:55AM and 8:04AM. Now once I manually sync once after 8AM, the phone syncs every 5 minutes until 5PM. The same problem occurs again and the phone does not automatically sync until I do one manual sync.
I am on my home wifi network at both times (8AM and 5PM), but it occurs regardless of wifi or mobile data, and I have ensured that master sync is enabled, and under the data usage settings, auto-sync data is enabled, and restrict background data is unchecked.
I have tried restarting the phone. I also cleared all email data and cache from the application menu and deleting the cache from recovery. I then renetered all my email accounts, and the same issue occurred on the dot at 8AM.
My phone is rooted with CWM recovery, but this issue occurred before I even rooted my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No one else has this issue? I find that hard to believe. I installed the Wicked ROM, and the same exact issue is occurring as in the original stock rom.

Did you try to enable peak times and under peak settings set to every 5 minutes? I don't know as I have mine manual to save battery, couldn't imagine how quick my Battery would die pushing e mail every 5 minutes

Yeah I did try enabling peak times every 5 mins but it didnt work. Battery life isnt too bad, I work nights now and it lasts the entire 12 hour shift with moderate use.

I have isolated the issue. It seems like having multiple exchange accounts causes this issue. All my exchange accounts are outlook (ie hotmail). So after I removed all of them except my primary, it is now syncing without issue. This is a serious bug that was introduced in the GS4, as my GS3 does not have this problem.
I am curious is anybody with multiple exchange accounts having or not having this issue?
