Love this new Rom
Having one issue:
I have turned auto-sync OFF but my google contacts keep randomly syncing. It is a bit of a battery drain.
Google Calendar, Gmail, Weather...none of these are doing this. Just the contacts.
Any ideas for resolution?

i just got this htc inspire, and when syncing it with my gmail/google calendar, it always leaves one calendar off, even though it shows it in the settings/more/calendars list as checked. any suggestions?
also, (noob question ) what is rooting?
on your calendar sync issue, no idea; i don't keep any calendars sync'd.
on rooting...

I am on the stock ROM rooted. I have a gmail, google apps, facebook app - Not HTC Sense (contacts only) and weather(3 hours) accounts setup. Something seems to hang while syncing and the sync icon stays on for a long time. This will cause emails to be delayed in showing notification.
I cannot figure out what it is that is causing the issue. I am also assuming this is not good for battery life. When it is hung like that I can look at each account on the accounts & sync tab and none of them show active syncing. If I cancel the sync and then sync now they will all sync and complete as expected.
Any one else seeing this? Any ideas on figuring out what account is causing it?
Mine does this too. I'm rooted, running Perfect Storm v1.0. I also did the 'Kernal/OS tweaks'. I'm not sure what caused it, but it's been doing this on and off for a couple days. I also had that ooVoo video app installed and when I uninstalled it, the sync indicator went away. (I had previously set the ooVoo sync to off). I'll post if I find anything.
I selected each account and disabled sync for each one and it still showed the sync icon later on. Do we know what all triggers the sync icon?
Any one else having this issue?
I was having the same issue. No idea what was causing it, I thought it was Facebook, but I froze it and it still was popping up. I did install advanced radio tools in settings from Jcase and leankernal from Imoseyon...
Yeah I am unrooted still and have this same issue with gmail delay. I can send an email to my self and watch it pop up almost immediately on my old eris connected to wifi but actually have to launch gmail to get the email on the thunderbolt. WTF!? Thats basic stuff. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it works fine on the granddaddy eris but not on the grandson TB. I have one personal gmail account and one gapps account. The only difference in the phones (other than the obvious massive power difference) is 4g so I wonder if this 1st gen 4g device wasn't polished enough back at the HTC labs?

I have 1 of each account type as well. What about other of you having this issue?
I've been experiencing this all day. Won't sync my g-mail accounts. I froze HTC Sense, could that be the cause?
EDIT: Unfroze sense and it still won't sync my g-mail. Syncs my contacts fine, just not my calendar or my e-mails. I deleted data and it did nothing except remove all of the e-mails that I had on my phone. Still wouldn't sync so I booted up my backup, and it STILL is not syncing. Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
Greetings,
I don't want my calendar in FaceBook to sync with my Android calendar. I have gone into the auto sync settings, selected FB for HTC, and unchecked sync calendar. However, this doesn't stop it from happening, and if I restart my phone, it will be checked again.
Does anyone know how I can stop this?
Thank you,
Dustin.
I currently sync everything via g-mail (contacts, calendar, ect.), but I'm wondering if there is a way to limit when or how often this happens with auto sync on. There's really no reason I see that my contacts or calendar would need to update more than once a day, but they seem to by syncing constantly and probably negatively affecting my battery life.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks.
anyone? I'd hate for my only option to be manually syncing from now on...
I'm pretty sure with Google it works on a push system. Gmail definitely works that way so this is only a guess as to other services. If I'm right it will only update if something needs to be updated. Say you're on your desktop and change a contact it will get pushed to your phone. Otherwise it stays idle. I just checked my accounts and the last sync I had was from last night.

You could use an app like Tasker to toggle data sync for your device with the interval you want. Although this will change all syncing for you device to be on the same schedule.

I just checked and everything except my gmail synced an hour ago with no changes made. I'll have to keep checking it periodically to see how often it's doing it.
Tasker seems overly complicated and I don't really want to pay for an app that I might not end up using for more than just this.
My mistake. I've looked back at my multiple Google accounts and various things like Gmail and calendar sync pretty frequently. But other stuff like drive and books were last synced last night. So long story short I can't help with your original question of how to change the frequency of syncs. Sorry about that.
You can always use Synker (free) from the Play Store to setup different sync buttons to sync the items you want. Its not really and automatic solution but saves battery by not using Auto Sync.
Hello,just bought the HTC one mini,great phone.My calendar doesn't seem to sync with Facebook.Is everyone facing the same problem?
Sent from my HTC One mini using xda app-developers app
Hi all. It seems I am experiencing the same issue since a few days now, and I cannot seem to find the root cause at all.
For some strange reason, Facebook and Google won't sync, and I keep getting this sync error all the time.
I use Google Calendar Sync program on my laptop, so that I can sync my Outlook calendar with the Google calendar, and everything works fine, and worked fine when I initially installed it, seeing my outlook meetings also on my phone.
I have no idea what I could have done on the phone to get this sync error. The accounts are right and have the correct passwords. And, also, if I log on to my Google calendar on my laptop after syncing it using the above software, I can see the synced meetings from Outlook.
I have also attached some screenshots. If anybody has any idea it would be great. I don't want to reset my phone.
So I managed to get the Google sync solved by removing and re-adding it, everything syncs fine, for now at least
But Facebook calendar just won't sync at all. I removed and re-added the account several times, rebooted the phone but still nothing. The app cannot be un-installed as it is built in. Anyway, I un-installed the updates and re-updated the app, and no results.
It is really not much big of a deal not having the birthdays of my facebook friends in the calendar, but still, I don't understand why it won't sync.
If somebody faced the same problem, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
