Hey guys,
I'm trying to stop my phone from using background data automatically before I turn on data (It costs alot per kb here).. I was wondering if you could offer me a hand. Note that I use Cyanogenmod (I'm not sure which version, I purchased it with this) I've installed TrafficInfo to monitor what's using data, and I've narrowed it down to just 2 apps left..
Calendar Sync Adaptor/Google Services Framework/Contacts Sync Adaptor
This is still using data frequently (2.8kb download/39kb upload since I booted 10mins ago) even though turned sync off. I've tried turning auto sync on and then unticking each option, and also I have tried turning auto sync just off.. neither seem to do the trick.
Maps [brut]
This one only uses 300bytes download/1.2kb upload when I turn the device on but I'd like to see it go anyway. I've installed a start up manager and removed maps from start up and it's still doing this.
So, any help with these 2 problems would be appreciated! Also I don't want to turn background data off because I still want to be able to use the market if I choose to
Cheers

Hey guys
I have a question with some of the stock HTC apps running in the background.
When I go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running
I see a couple of running apps that seem to be on all the time, such as Stocks, Peep, Flickr, Footprints, News etc
The problem is I don't use them unless I'm connected through Wi-Fi. (and even when I am, I still don't use the Footprints and Stocks app)
Of course I tried to force stop them, but they seem to turn themselves on again after awhile.
Is there any work around to this? I assume that they are "scheduled" to turn on to auto sync themselves, but I've already set the syncing period to once a day, still no dice. Is there a way to only have them run when I manually execute the app?
Also, my stock "mail" app (not Gmail) seems to have 1mb of data, which I clear to 0mb. When I check back again after a couple of hours, it's back to 1mb. How is this happening? I have not even connected to Wi-Fi over that period of a couple of hours.
Thanks in advance!
Hi!
I really like using whatsapp and gmail on my desire S android phone.
There's just one problem...it doesn't check for new messages all the time.
As soon as I go and do something that requires internet on my phone, I get new messages/gmail-mails...but it doesn't automatically check it. I have checked these programs on the synchronisation tab (settings).
Is there a way to make your phone internet-connected at all times, which will probably resolve my not-instant-syncing problem.
Thanks!
i believe the most you can do is go to settings>accounts&sync and select background data and auto-sync
I have 2 Google accounts on my phone; personal and work.
In my Google account settings, I have the chosen services to sync checked.
In data usage/menu/ auto-sync data is checked.
A few hours after I make sure all services to be synced are checked, they slowly start turning off by themselves one by one. All on at night, 75% turned off in the morning.
This have been happening since recently on 4.4.0. I did a complete factory wipe back to 4.4.0 and allowed stock upgrades to happen; both 4.4.1.and now 4.4.2.
I'm unlocked, rooted, using franco kernel r20 and moto-x dalvik patch on stock odex 4.4.2 ROM.
Starting today, Gmail will not sync regardless of sync settings. If I check email on phone, it's not marked as read on PC hours later. Also, 2 messages composed on phone today, not sent (stuck in sending mode).
I cleared cache of Gmail. No change.
This shouldn't be a leftover issue unless it's tied to some app. I am running on a brand new, untouched version of stock ROM (before I rooted and installed TWRP).
I've searched and searched. Only topic I can find is either Exchange sync issues or folks that had auto-sync data turned off.
Ideas?

The first thing that you do when you encounter a situation like this, is to remove variables. Those variables are franco kernel and the dalvik patch. Get rid of them and test again.
Yeah, I recently installed both in 4.4.0 right before the 4.4.1 update came out. At least that's when I noticed this issue happening.
I'll (un)do both.
Removed Moto X Dalvik patch by flashing stock system.img.
Sync still turning off automatically.
Just removed franco kernel (back to stock 4.4.2). Will have to wait and see.
Stock kernel and issue remains.
This is totally weird.
I have a few mods:
Center clock/battery % icon
36 dpi nav bar
4in1 reboot
All 3 of these mods are new versions. I still had the problem when on 4.4.0 with old versions of those 3 mods.
That's it. What in the hell can be making Google account services sync turn off? Does ANYONE have a clue on what might be happening?
This is interesting. Somehow, I have 2 N5s listed in my Google account. I only have 1. I never returned it or RMA or anything. Not sure why they're there.
Could this be an issue where my Google account is attempting to sync from a phantom device?
I mean, it does seem that the sync disappearing is more than just something on the phone, right? It's a stock phone with 3 mods (that shouldn't be related to syncing at all).
This problem has happened on 3 versions of Android.
Looks like a delete of all Google accounts and reinstall worked. Must have been a booger left over from something else.
Actually, not fixed. Still have services turning off sync.
Anybody? Please? Ideas?
It's probably Qualcom Battery Guru. It's trying to save your battery by turning off sync to certain services. Change the setting to let it use data whenever it wants.

Holy chit! You got it! Of course, never even occurred to me. I just came from a Note 2 so I didn't have the Snapdragon CPU to use Battery Guru.
Thank you very much!
Hey guys, I have been experiencing a problem since yesterday: Although syncing is activated (I tripple checked!) my google account does not sync anymore as long as I use mobile data (other apps like google chrome are able to use mobile data, however, so I am able to surf the internet). This also means that I don't get any emails in push from my gmail account. As soon as I switch to WI-FI, syncing works flawlessly, emails are pushed without any delay. Manual syncing works (pulling down in the gmail app or via the options in the google account settings on the phone).
Another weird thing is the signal status icon. When using WI-FI it is white, as soon as I switch to mobile data, it turns orange (I'm using nova launcher).
So I decided to completly wipe the phone and then reinstalled CM 11s 33R which I downloaded directly from the CM-page. I reinstalled all the apps afresh which means I don't think I carried any wrong settings from my last ROM over to the newly installed one.
Anybody got an idea what the reason could be that there is no syncing anymore and how I can resolve this?
Hi,
im facing the same problem since yesterday morning. I've recognized the exact same issues with the same situation.
As long as im in WLAN all is good. As soon as i am on mobile-data network push is not working anymore. I has been working before fine, but till yesterday it stopped. I didnt change anything in the configuration.
Very strange. I would be very happy if anybody has a glue on how to fix that.
I've also made twice a reset (once per TWRP, and another reset with android reset function) but both didnt help to get rid of that problem.

Push and sync works again with my device. Also, the orange color in the Signal Status is gone and it is White again.
Found something in the OPO-Forum (thanks to gabriel3714):
Go to:
google.com /Settings /security
under section "account permissions" find "apps and websites" and click "view all" then try and revoke access to you OPO and any other items that shouldn't be there. Then restart your phone.
If anybody still has Troubles, here are some other things to try which were sent to me in an email by Matt Oli:
If Sync isn't working when you're using your data, here are a few things to check for:
•Make sure that Background data is enabled◦Phone settings> Data Usage> Scroll down to Gmail and make sure that "Restrict background data" is not selected.
•Disable Power saving mode
•Clear your App's cache and data◦Open Phone settings> Select Application manager> Swipe to "All"> Choose Gmail> Clear cache and data
•Limit your folder size◦Open Gmail via a desktop> Settings> Forwarding and POP/IMAP> Next to "IMAP access" select "Limit folder size"
•Try Unsyncing your Gmail account temporarily. Try this a few times.◦Settings> Accounts> Google> Select your account> Uncheck Gmail> Check Gmail
•Resetting IMAP◦Gmail> Settings> POP/IMAP> Disable POP & IMAP> Save Settings> Re-enable IMAP> Save Settings
•Remove Gmail Account and setup again◦Phone Setting> Accounts> Google> Select you email account> "Remove account"
◦Re-establish account.
Solution to your problem
Hi, I had same issue.
Go to Keep website. Remove all shared notes. (Delete them, Don't Archive). Go back to Keep on Android. Clear data from Settings -> App -> Keep and launch app again.
Problem solved.

Hi, I have One plus 3 with android 8.0.0
I went on holiday (10 hour zone difference)and deactivated all app connections (settings-data use-menu-data use control) except whatsapp and chrome and facebook, which only connected to the wifi in hotel.
I came back and activated all connections of apps (wifi and 4g).
All apps seem to work fine except for maps that finds the street I´m looking for, but just keeps on calculating best route.
Gmail opens emails, but doesn´t download or open the pdf or any file attached and google play store opens my apps ans similar ones on screen, but can´t seem to download any new ones to install and doesn´t search for any app I type in the search bar.
I´ve deleted all cache in recovery mode, and also tried changing the time to manual and to automatic rebooting in between (I read this somewhere), but it´s still the same.
I´ve also reset all app settings in app menu.
No idea what to do next.
Also, not sure if the trip had anything to do with this issue
Hopefully somebody can help me as I don´t really want to reset my phone.
Thanks
