[Q] privacy Settings in Froyo

I can't seem to find the privacy setting in froyo?Was this taken out during the OTA update?

From home screen press the search button and type "privacy" , the setting should be there.

this is driving me nuts (and my searches have turned up nothing other than this thread)
I'm having the same issue - I cannot for the life of me find the 'Account' screen NOR the 'Privacy Settings' screen on my device.
The above advice simply opens a google search - and even if I tweak the search settings under Phone/Searchable Items to only look for 'Settings' it seems ot simply ignore that entirely and always returns a google-wide web search with the top result as the Wikipedia definition for 'Privacy'....
Anyone have any clues as to how to access these 2 screens in Froyo 2.2 on HTC Desire?
Many thanks in advance!

The "accounts&sync" should be already in your standard settings option, it's not "hidden" as the privacy settings.
Try allowing google search to search only for settings, without web and other. Also you can try to type "back" instead of privacy, as it should bring the option too (because backup settings are in "privacy).

Hi - many thanks for your reply.
Unfortuantely I've already tried restricting the search parameters across a number of variations (including only checking 'settings') but it seems to completely ignore that and perform a google 'web-wide' search no matter what - so what exactly the point of being able to manipulate the search perameters is I have no idea (seems like it's simply window dressing!?)
Same story searching for back or back up (and variations thereof)
Yes - the Accounts and Synch appears to be the way to access the account screen - The Account screen doesn't appear to exist as such, however I can get to what it (as in the manual) refers to by tapping on Accounts and Synch and then tapping on individual 'accounts' - to alter what does/doesn't synch for that particular account
Thanks again - still searching for these elusive 'Privacy Settings' though - I even just tried using Astro file manager to search for some terms that may indicate where some of the access files are located and nothing

I too had problems using the method below to find the Privacy settings:
From the Home screen, press the search button.
Press the menu Button & select "Search settings".
Select "Searchable items" and tick Settings.
Press the back button twice.
Touch the icon to the left of the search input & select "Settings"
Type "Privacy"
Privacy (HTC global search) should appear - select this.
I found that the setting wasn't appearing because I was using Swype!
A long touch in the search input brings up a menu.
Select Input method.
Select Touch Input.
Repeat the privacy search as above.
Voila - the Privacy setting appears!

SPANNAA - you are a GOD!!
Brilliant walkthrough - worked a charm
Many thanks mate, much obliged

Background data usage

I have found in Setting -> Connections -> Data Usage where I can designate certain SSIDs as mobile hotspots. However, unlike on my Nexus 5 I don't see how to restrict background mobile data usage. The Nexus 5 has a checkbox to restrict this.
Is it somewhere else on the Tab S 10.5?

The option to To limit background processes is in the "developer options" section under the "general" tab in the settings. In order to unlock the developer options you must go to settings, general tab, about device, and tap the build number a number of times. after that, developer options will become available right above "about device". In there you'll find an option for limiting background processes. Look at the screenshot attached. If I've helped, please press thanks.

I'm not talking about limiting the number of background processes. This is about limiting background process data usage when connected to a hotspot.
Under settings, Data usage, select an app, there is a checkbox to restrict data usage on my Nexus 5. I want to do the same on my Tab S (I've designated some SSIDs as hotspots).

Fail Bluetooth pairing with Nexus 4 after 1.5 (MDW69) Update

Hi,
as i wrote here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67552393&postcount=71
after the 1.5 update, my huawei watch doesn't pair with my Nexus 4 anymore.
With a downgrade to 1.4 it works but after some hours it update to 1.5 again.
So i think that 1.5 introduced a bug with bluetooth pairing.
Other xda users in the link above had the same issue with the same phone.
Same result in the Official Android Wear forum: http://bit.ly/AndroidWearBTIssue
My watch, after 1 month, is still at the Service Center.
Today i tried a massive campaign on my social media to obtain a reply from Huawei.
If anyone want to help me with like and share, here are the link. I'll post everyday the same image on every social.

same issues... nexus 4 android 6.0.1, downgrade 1.4 ignore update.. wait for fix or wait for 2.0

Just a guess, but I wonder if the update might have introduced a new Bluetooth stack that isn't compatible with the Bluetooth stack in your older phone?!?

i don't know what 1.5 introduced.... but i think that buy a new phone isn't a solution and it isn't my fault if Google or Huawei make a mistake in developing the 1.5.
I spent 300€ for this watch and i want to be able to use it with my phone because it worked before 1.5.

On Phone assistance: they said to ask to LG (if is a nexus 4 fault) and then call again to open a ticket.
on Facebook Page: they said stupid things like update my phone up to android 4.3 or update the app. Stupid things from Social Media Manager without technical preparation.
On Twitter: Nothing
Italian Service Center: I brought the watch one month ago and described the software problem. They sent it to Huawei. But I haven't news about the status of my watch.

Gmail push notification does'nt work- somone secceeded to fix it?

Hi
i have xiaomi mi5s (miui global 8.0.3.0 stable) and i dont get push notification form the gmail app.
i try all the instructors that i found at the internet and nothings fix it, is there somone that know haw to fix it?
i try this steps:
1: Go to settings --> manage apps' battery usage --> choose apps. From there, pick all the apps you want to receive push notifications and select "No restrictions."
2: Go to settings --> permissions --> autostart. From there, pick the apps you want to receive notifications, and toggle the switch to turn it on.
3: Go to settings --> app notifications --> pick the apps you want to receive notifications, then turn the toggle for "Priority" on.
4: Lock the app in the "recent apps"/ "app overview" plane. Do so by first opening the apps, then press the "recent apps/overview button" (that's the square button on stock Android, or the button with three horizontal lines on the Mi Mix). From there, find the app you want to receive notifications, pull down on it to "lock it", so it never gets cleared.
5: This last step requires Developer Options privileges. To enable that, go to settings (man... I'm getting tired of typing "go to settings" ...) --> about phone
--> tap on MIUI version tab like eight times. You should then get a little message saying "you are now a developer." Then head back out to settings, go to developer option, scroll to nearly the bottom, find "memory optimization," and turn it off.

Mine does the same sometimes it's intermittent.

Things like this is why I never use Miui, its a horribly crippled version of Android that just makes life more difficult unnessesarily if you live in a country that allows free access to a service called Google
Never own a Xiaomi phone without removing Miui and replacing with a ROM that works in the real world

i wtire this comment for who will need this solution.
i secceeded to fix the push notification problem by the following
1:I changedmy rom to original miui rom (mine was fake) now i have 8.0.3.0 global
2: go to setting -> sync -> and disabled "wifi only" and enable "sync"
3: Go to settings --> permissions --> autostart. From there, pick the apps you want to receive notifications, and toggle the switch to turn it on.
4: Go to settings --> manage apps' battery usage --> choose apps. From there, pick all the apps you want to receive push notifications and select "No restrictions."
hope it will help..

Also have a look here for some more context: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/how-to/miui-kills-background-processes-solution-t3532397

The guys above me pretty much summed it up - setup autostart for the Gmail app and Google service frameworks, disable MIUI memory optimization and lock the Gmail app (menu button --> slide the app thumbnail down and click the lock icon).
Having done all of this, the push notifications are fine. I use the EU rom 7.3.30 (weekly).

Hi,
I have a brand new Mi 6 which im loving (running the standard default theme), however i have a bit of a problem with Gmail.
Im getting all the notifications, no problem at all. However, the floating notifications do not show a preview of the email i have received for Gmail. I get a floating popup, but all it shows is that i have a new email, it does not show who sent the email or the subject line, nothing.
All my other floating notifications are fine. Whatsapp, outlook, facebook etc, all of them show the floating notification with a small preview of what the message is.
Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas?
I have ALL settings correctly set to receive all the notifications, floating, etc and as i said, i DO receive notifications, they just dont show a preview specifically for Gmail. Im using latest Global Rom by the way.
