I've had an Exchange account on my phone for a while, and after following this thread [GUIDE] Insanely Better Battery Life When Idle, I made some changes to not have work email pushed. I have it on manual sync. However, I've missed a lot of meetings because my calendar did not sync, so I want to enable that again. I've gone into the exchange settings, and changed the sync frequency to very hour.
However, when I return to the MS Exchange Active Sync main settings window, it shows Sync Disabled. I've looked through all the settings, and nothing is unchecked that shouldn't be.
How do I enable sync?
thanks

Hey there
I have a rather annoying issue since I switched to froyo (proper OTA) with my gmail app:
it does not auto-sync, nor tell me instantly when a new mail arrives. Actually, it only tells me, when I manually sync the accounts.
I reckon to have set it up the right way*, rebooted the device, deleted and re-added the accounts, but still no notifications when I receive mails.
Yet, is there maybe any point I missed?
Thanks
*Application's allowed to sync data all the time; allowed to sync automatically; accounts set to sync their mail
Do you have more than one Google account set up on the phone?
If so, this is a known issue
Does anybody know how this sync works? Specifically in terms of how often calendar items are syncronized between the device and the cloud? Frequency doesn't appear to be a user configurable option as far as I can tell.
Items I create/edit on the WP7 device don't appear to be updating on the Hotmail calendar online (The device is configured to sync calendar items).
Thanks!
It's "push" sync, so it means that when a change happens either on the web or on the phone, it's synced immediatly on the other device.
Frequency of sync appears in Hotmail>>Settings>>synchronisation settings. From my understanding, setting this to manual will set it for Hotmail, Contacts and Calendar - just like Exchange ActiveSync in 6.x. [if I am wrong then I guess Contacts and Calendar are not affected by that setting]
To save data, I often have mine set to manual, and sometimes hourly. I noticed that I added a contact and it didn't appear on contacts.live.com for a couple of days. I wasn't fussed though, it did sync eventually.
Hey guys....
Not sure if its posted anywhere else, I had a check and can't find out what I am after...
Anyways, I have a Rogers/AT&T S3 that I want to change the email and contact sync interval on. Instead of it checking every 15 minutes, I only want it to check let's say... every 2 hours or so. Is there an option somewhere that I can change that on? Maybe an app or something to help out with that?
I've turned my sync off altogether to save battery and I keep forgetting to check my emails... I'm just wondering if there's an in between setting...
Hi! It depends on what type of mail account you are using.
Gmail (Google accounts) and enterprise email (Microsoft Echange ActiveSync accounts) are pushed to your phone. So you don't have (and cannot) change the update frequency of these accounts: when a change occurs in the mail server -- a new mail arrives, a new contact is created, a new appointment gets added to your agenda... --, the mail server sends the update to your phone. It's not the phone who initiate the update: it's the mail server.
If you use POP or IMAP (Email accounts) to retrieve your mails, you can control the sync frequency. Contrary to a pushed protocol as described above, POP and IMAP are pulled mail protocols -- means: the phone has to initiate the sync process. It's the phone who contact the mail server to check if there are updates to download.
You can select the sync interval when you first add the Email account. To change the sync frequency for an already existing Email account:
Go to Settings and, under Accounts, select your Email account you want to modify;
Next, click on Settings to change the settings for this account;
Again, select your Email account in the list;
Scroll the settings and select Sync schedule;
You can now configure when should your emails for this account be synced. You can configure Peak schedule and Off-peak schedule to auto-sync between 15 min to once a day.
I have selected for all my mail accounts to sync every 30 mins. However for some accounts, my phone gets the email immediately as if push is selected. I suspect it is a reason of my battery life problems. Any way to make it to behave as selected?
I can sync contacts from gmail to my phone but I cannot sync contacts from my phone to gmal?
I have tried deleting an re adding account no luck
Any ideas?
Check your Gmail settings on your google account using a full browser on PC.
The contacts toggle in your personal settings may be turned off.
Google has changed many things as of late, and settings will change without our knowledge....g
Where is this contact toggle you speak of ? I cannot seem to find it
On gmail my contacts have a check in my contacts box
But they sync from gmail to my note 2 but what is on my note 2 will not sync to gmail
this is frustrating lol
Is your " auto sync app data" box checked ?
Open your phone dialer application, and go into your settings within the app. It's under "accounts". And verify the box check. Its under your email address.
The auto sync interval is controlled by the general settings of the device I believe.....g
Edit: The auto sync controls all information being synced to your contacts and of course the opposite holds true....g
