Hi, does anyone know if there is any app that allows you to schedule or determine a time interval in which the device enable automatic synchronization?

Well first off I believe you've posted in the Themes & Apps section when really this should have gone in the Q&A section.... But..
I'm sure there is something like Tasker or another app that could do exactly what you're asking. But it may be worth your while to look into UnBounce.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54953199
It allows you set a time period for your phones Wakelocks and Alarms. You could definitely change your sync settings with UnBounce, however it may effect all of your accounts syncing . Take a look at it anyways, if nothing else it'll greatly improve for battery life!!
I use tasker to turn off auto sync at night and then back on in the morning.

hi
i have searched google prior to posting here and it came up with photo contacts, but thats a lot more than what i need, also when i checked compatibility it said if you have an HTC s620 you need the smartphone edition, but looking at the features the SP edition doesnt seem to detail the scheduled times of silence/profiles like the touch screen version
all i want to have enabled is this:
lets say at 11pm each night, the phone makes itself silent.
then at 8am in the morning it reverts to normal profile again.
on my iphone, i have the kate software which does that for me, but nothing i can see for the excalibur
if anyone knows of anything that would be great
thanks

I haven't tried this, but I believe you could set up an appointment in your calendar from, say, 11pm-8am repeating daily. Windows Mobile can set your profile as silent just like being in a meeting for that time period. It'd be the cheap-and-easy fix.
CT Scheduler, Autoflight, and Switchprofile! are two non-free applications that can do what you want.
DontForget and Snooze are two free ones that might work.
Check clickapps.com, smartphone-freeware.com, and connectivetools.com for them.
Yeah just set an appointment at the time u want it to be silent and set your status to busy I think. Then set your profile to automatic to when even that appointment starts it will automatically be silent
I use Cell Profile Switcher, it switches profiles based on what cell tower i am connected to.

ty.
Been playing around with my new HTC Desire. Added a new widget called power control.
Accidentally i clicked the 2nd last icon which is next to the Brightness Option. Cant seem to tell what it does. Does it needs to be On (with the green bar under it) or needs to be off. Clicking the other icons it shows what they are for but not this one. Can someone help.
Picture of the widget attached and the current state of it.
2nd last icon next to the brightness.
Thanks for the help.
thats the SYNC option. To sync things like email, facebook etc based on what frequency you set for each.
Guess i need it on, because i get my google apps account to sync with the phone and the google apps emails also come there. Check facebook and twitter manually so its good.
Thanks for the help. Gonna turn the option on. Cheers
sync
The battery life life will be affected depending on the frequency of your settings

I leave mine off and just turn it on to check my emails... .I've found doing it that way while also using JuiceDefender has really helped my battery life...
Is there an application that will allow me to check for emails during the time I only have my device plugged in and charging?
What I'm looking for is when I'm at work, i'd like the device to check email every 15 minutes or so, but only if it's plugged in to a power source.
Does something like that exist?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the response, I downloaded the application.
I have a follow-up question, I can get (for example) K9 to start at a specified trigger, for example, when the battery is above 90%, but how do I get it to automatically poll for new email every 15 minutes using Tasker?
I'm thinking I'm not seeing the if condition that lets me do that in the task setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The way I turn off e-mail checking is by turning off sync. In Tasker, look under Net and then Auto-Sync. There are other apps that may give you what you're wanting with less effort than what Tasker requires. I recently started using Llama Location Profiles.
Can anyone tell me how to change the sync interval for mail its set at every 15 minutes and its grayed out so i can't change it. I don't need my mail checked that often.
No one knows ?

I wish I knew how to do this as well. I don't even see an option to change the intervals at all. If you find out please let me know!

You go into accounts&sync settings in the main settings section and you have to have the sync on otherwise it wont let you change it then just click on the account go to the sync settings and change it! Hope that helps.
Email retrieval
I did some research and it turns out that Gmail uses a special push mechanism. There is no interval. It is always listening with a low power service. No need to turn it down.
For those that care, it might be Microsoft's mail push mechanism or XAMPP, people aren't sure which. Some docs say it just opens a connection to a webservice, which would mean XAMPP is what they've converted to.
The option to reduce Gmail possible power consumption is to change from the Gmail client to the standard email client and set up polling. The only time Gmail won't be getting pushes is if Data Network is disabled.
Hope this helps.

Thank you because I checked and I knew I wasn't going crazy when I couldn't find it anywhere. I'll see how my battery does with it syncing for a full work day.
Hi All,
Does the OnePlus 5T running OxygenOS 5.0.3 work with Dropbox properly. Dropbox the app loads, I can access my cloud files and upload files manually no problem. But the camera upload feature does not work all the time. If I restart my phone it will upload photos for a few seconds and then stop working again. Is this behaviour anyone else has witnessed too? I am at a loss at how to correct this problem. I contact OnePlus support, they claim its not their problem. I have contacted Dropbox support, they claim its a OnePlus issue with the OS interfering with the app. I feel like I'm stuck now with no solution. I haven't been able to come across anyone else with this problem. Any ideas/help would really be appreciated. I find the fact that it uploads for a short period of time then stops really bizarre. Would this support Dropbox's claim that the OP software is somehow interfering to kill off background transfers or something?
Have you checked the settings for anything that might require WiFi for uploads? I know with Google drive, for instance, it will only upload/download things if you're on wifi by default, but there is a setting to allow uploads and downloads on mobile data too. I don't use Dropbox, but that was my first thought.
My other thought is to to into your Doze settings and check it Dropbox is being optimized. If it is being optimized, you may want to try setting it to not optimized and see if that fixes your issue.
Good luck!

Yeah I've tried changing things like allowing Dropbox to upload via WiFi only, WiFi and data. I've also changed the settings around the battery level (i.e. only upload when battery is >30%).
I've turned off the optimise settings for Dropbox; that is the Dropbox setting under "Battery optimisation" is set to "Don't optimise" if that's what you mean. Is that what the doze settings are? I can't find anything specifically around Doze in the settings anywhere. Also in the app settings Dropbox is set to allow "Background activity". I've attached 2 screenshots, but I look at the 2 screenshots attached from different settings screens they say different things though. One says optimisation is off, the other says its on?
Finding OP very frustrating on this, its the only device I own that has this issue so its definitely something on the phone being funny. Dropbox are adamant its a OP issue not a Dropbox issue; but the OP support guys just blow you off instantly and tell you to talk to the app developer. Just no interest at all in looking into it.

I did the exact same things, and still having the same problem, too. It will only upload when I open the app.
Any news on this one guys? Experiencing the same issues after upgrading my Samsung S8 to Oreo.
Uploads only working fine once.. after that only a manual upload is possible (or turning off -and back on again the camera uploads)
Pretty annoying
No one?

Sorry, never came back to this. I ended up working with Dropbox support for a few months and they resolved the issue with software updates.
