What's the deal with the refresh status icon - Samsung Infuse 4G

It seems to just show up and it will stay until I reboot. Kind of annoying. It does work right when I'm refreshing Facebook or whatever, the icon will show up than disappear but other times I wont even be using my phone, ill pick it up, unlock it, and the icon will be there.

Its your phone syncing to something I.e. facebook, mail or any other type of account.

I figured it was something like that but man, the icon seems to never away unless I reboot. Thanks.

well it could be that whatever is syncing/refreshing is syncing all the time (which is gonna drain battery) or is broken (and may also drain battery...though it could just accidentally lave the symbol up)
you might want to find out what's going on.

Go to your accounts and the account that is syncing will have a spinning sync symbol.

how many accounts to do you have sync'd to the phone? gmail, facebook, sense (etc)
and do you have the networks and locations all checked, for navigation etc.
I Didnt have the VZW location checked just standalone and Google I took standalone off and checked VZW is that right or should I have all 3??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You can use whatever you want. I leave google location services enabled and then I enable standalone gps whenever I need it (ie. Navigation, maps, etc.)
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Ok so I can turn the vzw one off to?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
you can turn them all off, just back on if you need navigation.
Oooo ok thanks!

pretty sure that shouldnt be draining the battery like that. check the accounts that are set to sync on your phone (gmail, facebook) and see the interval that each is set to refresh.
It was set to 1hr I switched it to 4 maybe that should help

And my weather was set at 15mins switched it to 2 he's

so all you have syncing is gmail and weather?
I had to turn everything off, message stopped.

Facebook acting up

Has anyone noticed old news feeds displaying over and over? The news feeds don't come close to matching my pc, ill see a post from several days ago at the top, followed by a resent post than another old one. Its getting annoying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Yeah! I just started noticing that yesterday lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
yup
yup me to. I noticed that its defaulting to Top rather then most recent. how do you change that? I have to change it everytime I open the AP
I installed friend caster which seems fine but I hope there's a fix for it soon. Mad annoying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Probably, because it defaults to top news instead of most recent
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Click on the top right and change it to Recent.
^this...or go to facebbook in the markdt and "uninstall updates"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I've since switched to friendcaster.
how do you change the default? maybe I should have been more clear. When you do that it does stay as the default. So you have to change it everytime. maybe I'll try friendcaster

I noticed I had to change it everyone. The only think I've noticed about friend caster in the negitive sence is that I don't believe it had a chat option.

Weird Data Usage?

Please see screenshot.
Does anyone know why Phone app would be using data? And what exactly is HTC Apps? My best guess is weather etc but not sure.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
It might be for your contacts stored online. Do you have pictures for your contacts?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
When you click on the app do you get any details?
I don't see phone in the ICS native data manager, but I do see it with the app I use: my data manager, but it won't give me detail on the usage.
The only thing I can think of is Facebook syncing. It pulls status messages down etc.
Sent from my HOCKS
Nah there's no real info when I click it. But I think you might be right about the Facebook syncing, that's a he'll of a lot of data (70mb) in a few days though!
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
When I checked my Wi-Fi usage it had almost twice the amount for phone.
I turned off "live feed" and calendar sync in my Facebook account settings. I'll see if than makes any difference.

Yeah I'll do that too, thanks for your help man.

There's gmail the service and gmail the app, you didn't specify
You might want to remove and re-add your Google account in settings. Have you been "dirty flashing" when moving between AOKP and CM10? Also, what version of gapps are you running?

You might want to go into your gmail account settings and make sure that your IMAP settings are right as well. If Auto-Expunge is off it might do something similar
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have this same issue intermittently. I found d that if I deleted them b4 marking them as read (and sometimes even if I did mark them as read) then they would come back. I fix it by going into the Gmail app, selecting the search option, typing in "in:unread" (minus the quotes) and hit search. It will do its thing and come back with all the unread emails. From there, select them, mark them as read, and delete them again. Hopefully this will work for you as it has for me.

I would doublecheck and make sure that you don't have it sent to archive versus delete

No problem man. Glad ya got it sorted out. That exact problem had me racking my brain for a week or so. Happy I could keep you from torturing yourself over it for the next few days. Just be sure to remember that search phrase because, chances are, you'll need it again sometime.

Notifications are on even though they've been turned off

Ok, so I'm on stock nexus 5.
I have turned off notifications in my apps, but I still keep getting them. It's annoying me. Anybody know why? For instance, living social and fandango keep having notifications pop up and I can't figure out why.

Are you disabling the notifications in each specific app itself?
What I do, is go to Settings > Apps > Click on the app in Question, un-check the Show Notifications box and I am usually good to go.
Wow, thanks. I didn't know you had to do it that way. I was just disabling in the app itself.

Hey, right on! Glad you got it working good!
You can also long-click the notification itself and disable notifications from the offending app right there. Saves some trouble.
