[Q] Wakelock, BBS reports Calendar and Clock - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

My latest Better Battery Stats dump is at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zhx27wqvdmljoum/ODN1UNs0Lo
After following the advice in the BBS thread, I've disable the locations services and sorted out GSF and maps that were causing wakelocks. However, in all reports the same things are persistent:
AlarmReceiver (com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.Clock) -- Was suggested that this maybe alarms in my clock or calendar, but I have no alarms set in either.
com.android.providers.calendar (): Wakeups: 273 is very high I'm told, and was advised to check that auto-sync is disabled for all your calendars and auto-update of any calendar app/widget. The problem is, I can't see anywhere where I would disable autosync in the stock Calendar app.
AllShare and Google+ are using my internet connection a lot, so I turned off Allshare (I don't use it), but I'm not even logged in to Google+. If I open the app it asks which account I want to use, so what else can I do with it?
TLDR:
How do I disable autosync in stock calendar app
Why is com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.Clock keeping my phone awake
How do I stop Google+ from accessing internet when it's not even logged in

If you shut auto sync off most of that will go away. Also if you have social media apps like Facebook, instagram those are killers on your battery. I recommend an app called greenify you can get it in play store. It will hibernate all those apps running in the background of your device.

Google Calendar sync frequency

Hi,
Is there a way to check / adjust the Google Calendar sync frequency on the Desire ? My Gmail and contacts are updated when changed, but calendar not directly ..... The checkbox for calendar sync is check, so that is not the problem
I'm interested in finding out how to do this as well...
Do you have Advanced Task Killer running with Auto Kill on? Try turning off auto kill...
Did anybody ever figure out how to do this?
When I delete appointments from my MS Exchange calendar on my PC they are still visible for several hours before being removed from my Desire's calendar.

Widget Syncing

how often do Widgets Sync? do they sync every time you view a screen with a particular widget? I know if you disable auto sync they will not automatically sync (ex weather widget).
anyone know how often the calengoo task widget syncs?
thanks
Widgets that aren't tied to the settings/accounts in "Accounts & Sync" will update according to how the app is set up. This means all of your user apps and some of your system apps sync on their own schedule. Most apps have a setting for how often the widget updates. Widgets do drain more battery than not having them, but how much battery they drain depends on their update settings. A widget that is set up to update every 12 hours or more will generally drain less than a widget that's set to update every 15 minutes (like social networking apps).
Check the individual app's settings to configure the duration. If there's not a setting to change how often, you can always contact the developer and ask for the option to be added.

[Q] Exchange Services preventing deep sleep

Hi All,
Last night I noticed that my phone wasn't going into deep sleep mode. I found out that the service which is preventing it from sleeping is "Exchange Services". I'm pretty sure that this is an android application.
I haven't installed anything new so I'm not sure how to get rid of it.
Anyone have any ideas?
I've run out of ideas.
Thanks
i'm dealing with the same issue. do you use exchange email? for me it's my exchange calendar for my work account. i have two other exchange accounts and they behave very well. when i used when i used Modaco's r11 (4.04) and the CDN 1.33 ROMs, it wasn't happening. i monitored activity for one night and it was OVER 100MB of data. the only resolution for me is to disable the calendar sync until i need to use it.
Hey Cortez,
I found out why it was sucking away my battery life. Turns out my account wasn't syncing properly so the phone kept it awake for ages trying to sync it. What I did was just remove my email account and re-add it.
Worked a treat!
Give it a go too.

Control over push notifications

Hi,
I just got a tablet next to my Gnex, and i am trying to find the best way to avoid double notifications when at home, on both the phone and the tablet.
I have realised (and pls tell me if it's not true) that even if I disable sync, this applies only to google services (calendar, gmail, ecc.) and not to whatsapp and facebook.
I could disable the whole data connection (and wifi) but then I won't be able to receive whatsapp messages (I found out I can't have the same number configured on both tablet and phone, so I kept whatsapp on phone only).
So in practice, when at home, I would like to have the tablet fully in sync with google services and receiving facebook and twitter push notifications, and the phone receiving only whatsapp messages: the only way i found so far is to disable google sync and then go into twitter and facebook settings and disble push from there.
Do you know of any other way?
Well, I don't have a tablet so I'm kinda useless on real solutions, but you could use Tasker to automate the process you're doing now by making a profile that activates when your phone is connected to your home Wi-Fi.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah, the tablet part is not actually important and only half of the story.
What i really need is a program that allows me to record a sort of macros, so that with the press of a button I can: [1] disable google sync [2] open facebook and disable push notifications [3] same for twitter
The real problem here is to find a tasker-like app that allows me to automate apps

[Q] Note2 Syncing issue

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.
