Stop gmail sync on tnt? - G Tablet General

I want to stop Gmail and my Calender and Picassa pictures from syncing with the gtablet. But i still want my contacts to sync. In other roms I just go to settings and accounts and just stop it there for each individual thing. How do I do that in this rom?

The workaround I found was to use launcherpro to create a shortcut.
Long press home > shortcuts > Activities > Account and Sync Settings > Then pick the top option which should be "com.android.settings.ManageAccountSettings" > tap OK > tap icon to launch the settings.

Nice! That worked great. Thanks

Dude - thanks so much for this. I don't need to worry about configuring what the original poster was interested in, but I've been hunting down a way to turn on the lock pattern with TNT-Lite.
Turns out, if you use this same approach but go to Settings and then "com.android.settings.ChooseLockGeneric" you can go in and set up a lock pattern.
Been wanting this for a while. Thanks again.

Pictures in Email

Hi guys,
I tried searching for this, but, well, it was too long and nothing really came up.
So my question pertains to the email function - when I have incoming emails, is there a way to set the phone to download all internet pictures BY DEFAULT?
I hate having to click a couple times in order to just download the pictures in the email. It'd be so much easier if it did this by default.
Thanks in advance!!
When you're in the emails list, go to Menu > Tools > Options > Choose your email account > and press on Download size settings > Set to download the entire message in the Message download limit

Little annoyances with WM 6.5

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.
slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!
Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.
Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.
Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Settings -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms -> "More" tab -> check "Display the clock on the title bar in all the programs".
Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!

Slow until reboot?

My wildfire with cynaogenmod 7.02 runs great, but after around 2 days, I notice certain shortcuts to settings tend to lag.
I have a shortcut to accounts & sync, but after a while is simply hangs when I use it. If I goto settings > accounts & sync, i can see everything fine, but the shortcut itself does not work.
Same with beautiful widgets, if I goto the weather widget then settings, it hangs. If I goto applications > beautiful widgets > settings, it works fine.
Both these issues disappear after a reboot. What could be causing them?
Bump. Yadda yadda 10 chars.

Solution for Account Sync problem ICS

Do this and it should work. I was having the same problem and it worked for me.
First backup your contacts, from people application using Export to SD card option!!!
go to:
settings > developer options > background process limit (set "No background processes")
then go to:
settings > apps > all > contacts storage > ("clear data")
Then go back to:
settings > developer options > background process limit (set Standard limit)
You might need to restart your phone.
Then select your gmail account and check contacts and then reboot.
Wait 5-10 min and you'll see the contacts start to appear.
Do not do Clear Data before backing up your contacts.
Unfortunatelly I think it only works one way from Google to Phone.

Gmail settings

Running into a bug when I try to set a notification sound for Gmail. I can get to the settings menu, when I select my email account and press Inbox Sound & Vibrate, Gmail stops working. Is there a backdoor to change the setting or do I have to wait for an update?

Turn off app, force stop, clean cache, clean data and turn on. I have no problem.:good:

Thought my phone wasn't notifying me audibly of new emails and seeing your post, I checked it out. Took the long road--
Settings > Notifications and sounds > App Notifications > Gmail > App Settings > (account name) > Inbox sound & vibrate > Sound
Had no crash or issues. Reboot?

No go on either. The workaround took me to the same place where it crashed. Reboot and it still does the same thing.

Time to wipe, I guess, and start over. My phone quit displaying the phone app last week when I got incoming calls--phone rang but I couldn't answer. Still not sure why but think it was corrupted memory related to removing the SD card. Regardless, wiping fixed everything.
