[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?

There ARE boxes you can tick to make it auto sync

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.

I love you

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

Backup in Samsung account option gone for Note 4

In my Note 2, under Accounts (Samsung), I have option to backup/restore text messages, contacts, wallpaper, and calender for Jelly Bean 4.3. So Every time i reset the phone i just need go there and hit Restore all old text messages back. NOW it's GONE for the Note 4 Kitkat 4.4.
Under Samsung account in Setting I only have Ads, Data combination option and Storage usage. No more BACKUP and Restore.
Just saying ....

Touch your account at the top and it has what you're looking for.

Text messages deleted!

Hey guys. Is anyone else having problems with their text messages being deleted on the note 4? It's random for me but my text messages delete after reading them. I have a completely stock note 4 and it's really annoying. I've deleted cache to no avail. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Open your text message app, click on the three buttons on the top right, choose settings, and make sure the DELETE OLD MESSAGES is UNCHECKED.

I did that and it didn't help. This phone is deleting texts before I can read them.

Hey there, found this.

Check your settings under messaging. The stock setting for messages is 200. you can up it to hold it more or not have it delete them until you do it manually

In relation to the Note 4...
Messaging -> Settings -> Delete old messages
There are 2 settings in there (technically 3 if you count the ability to toggle on and off). Check your limits, or just disable it - see if that fixes it for you.

hey there, i am having the same trouble, it not the settings, with message limits that auto delete the old messages, its something else??
maybe a bug??
yes, sometimes even before i can read them, i can see they were sent in the logs, but not the message
let me know if you have any solution..
please this is driving me crazy...
lol
thanks
JJ

I have the same problem. I have already turned off the auto delete setting. Has anyone found a solution to this?
I will try a few things tonight, and report my findings.

App
Try a different texting app, try looking at the messages through the Google Messenger app. If it shows them there then its the stock app issue, if its still disappearing then I recommend just trying a stock reset if none of the other options worked listed above.

Contacts not syncing on beta DP4

I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only one or if there is a fix for contacts not syncing in the new Dp4 beta preview. Everything else syncs but contacts. I did a clean flash and set up as I always do. I've tried everything I could possibly think of to fix it but nothing works. Is anyone else experiencing this and if so anyone come up with a solution?

Had the same issue after wiping and trying to setup new. Had to unenroll and go back to Oreo ...
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Same thing. I filed an issue on Google Tracker.
I just rolled back, setup and then did the OTA.

Ok thanks to dallas90733 for helping me with this.
Go into your Gmail account on your phone's web browser.
You can export your vcard (for iOS contact). Go into your Google contact app and import it to your phone. Not a fix but a solution to get your contacts back till Google fixes the issue

Yup same for me. Was having battery issues so I factory reset DP3. Contacts won't sync and still not syncing with DP4. Tried clear data, clear cache etc. Might end up going back to 8 if it works there

SOOOOO glad I'm not the only one.
I was going nuts looking at Google issue tracker.
Thanks!

Ok so if you do a factory reset after being on beta 4 it works! Also I noticed that when I did the original factory reset coming from beta 3, it didn't erase everything. For example after I set everything up and it went to the homescreen for the first time it had the wallpaper that I had before I factory reset my phone. So I'm thinking that when coming from beta 3 to beta 4 it isn't actually fully resetting it causing this contacts Bug and a few small other ones as well.

No issues here dp4 ota.

If you have this issue. Opt out of the beta program. Install the 8.1 update. And opt in again on the beta program. Then you will get the update for DP4. With no issues of the contacts.

I did clean install on DP4 as well with No Contacts sync. I ended up doing a clean install of DP3, made sure all was well then dirty flashed DP4 on top of it and all was working fine now

In doing it this way, when you add a contact (either from your phone or via contacts on web) does that new contact sync with the other device?

I'd love to test it, but had too much free time and did another clean install on DP4 and it works fine for me now. Must be a weird glitch or something. The previous 2 clean flashes contacts didn't sync.

I think that's part of the Google restore. Every time I install a new ROM, and sign in with my Google account, it always restores my wallpaper.

Yes if you are doing a restore. A clean install should never leave a trace

By 'clean install' do you mean 'set up as a new device'? Because as soon as you sign in with your Google account after a clean install, it will pull your wallpaper back.

It will put there default wallpaper back. If you change the default wallpaper and do a factory reset it will go back to the default wallpaper

S20 just wont get home up or chat features.

i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters

Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

I havent found a work around yet. Ive tried a bunch of different stuff and no luck. For now im using google messages with chat on to make sure i get all the texts. Ill keep trying different things every few days to see if it ever changes.

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.
