Any way to create a custom shortcut to manually sync gmail using adw? I've found that if I turn off background data it triples my battery life but I still want to be able to easily sync gmail with one click.
I looked through the gmail activities but didn't see anything. I couldn't even find a shortcut to get straight to accounts and sync.

Maybe try Any Cut from the market. Not sure if it can do THAT in particular but it can make shortcuts for a lot of cool stuff. And its free! Worth a shot.

try a different rom. I'm on 4G all day and easily make it through the day on a senseless GB rom. That way there is no need to turn off data. U do have the fastest phone in the market right now, u know?

Anybody know how to do this, it is extremely annoying to have to remember to select google calendar every time you make an entry.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ca...-calendar-default-when-adding-new-events.html
Has anyone figured this out yet? I HATE that I can not change this to default to google's calendar instead of "my calendar"
I agree this is really annoying. I've had to go back and change multiple entries because I forgot to make that adjustment when creating an event.
However in the link above someone made the suggestion of downloading Jorte calendar because it has setting to make google the default. Did you guys give that a try?

I tried Jorte, don't really like it to be honest, feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive to me.
Still waiting for a better alternative...

I'm using Jorte right now. I like the widgets that can display my calendar on the home screen. However, the settings are cryptic at best, and the buttons in the app don't have labels and seem to do different things with each press...
However, it is worth it to have my calendar correctly sync with google without me having to re-select the calendar for each new appointment. I make a LOT of appointments on my phone, and when I realized they weren't syncing, I had to change a LOT of appointments.
Has anyone found a better solution to this bug yet?

Bump for this one. Is this something that would need changed at the OS level? I.e., no quick fix via a small app
Devs, we are calling you!!!!!!!

i'm using gemini calendar. it works great and has some other features.
This is fixed in the new 2.2 update; you can completely disable the "my calendar" app and use the stock google calendar and widget.

I believe Froyo fixes the calendar issue.
It does work on froyo.

I am using TB for my backups and restores as I'm flashing roms quite a bit. The only problem I have is that my standard email (not the gmail app) accounts are not restored. This happens if I go from stock to CM or Axura.
I think i am probably just doing something wrong, but I don't know. Can anybody advise.
I searched before this post but didn't find the answer.
Email is considered a system app. It won't save unless you want to save that, but it can cause FCs.
I personally use K9 Mail and it sticks for the most part. I prefer K9 mail over the stock Email app.

Can't thank you enough zephiK.
I just installed and configured K9 and it is way better than the default email app. Many many thanks.
You the man
Glad I could help Another tip is when you open up K9 go into Settings -> Display -> Theme.
Set the theme to dark and you'll save some battery by using a black background

Gonna try the dark theme now.

Anyone figure out how to do this? It's been really simple to view them on previous versions of Sense or any aosp roms, but it seems they overlooked the option on Sense 3.0 :-(
On another note, I'm probably the only person that uses this :-! (My gf and I both put our work schedules into Google Calendar and share the calendars with each other so we can easily glance at our schedules.. It's pretty useful)..
Is not in the usual menu. Tap the bar at the top of the calendar, it is a dropdown box to choose which calendars are displayed. Is that what you were looking for?

Im using this also and no problems. The shared calendar appeared after-hours first sync

Yea, that was where I first looked. They're not in there.
Is there any way to get the Asus email widget to open GMail instead of the stock Email app?

Menu in the top right hand of the screen (in the email app)
Click account settings
Add Account is in the top right hand corner.
Make it your default. If you have another email account setup, you may want to delete it. The widget will tell you the total unread emails across all accounts setup.

Already done that
I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that tapping the widget brings you to the GMail app instead though
The stock email app isn't quite as good as GMail
@slient
I have the same question/problem
I think that's impossible because Google is blocking every connection with Gmail app. No app on the market can connect to Gmail! Even ASUS is not allowed to create an app that works hand-in-hand with Gmail... sadly...

Well, technically, the desired effect can be achieved by checking for unread mail the way it is now but tap action should just open the different app.

Ah my bad, I misread the OP.
Out of curiosity what features do you want the gmail app for? The only real difference I saw was priority inbox/starred mails support. I don't use that often enough myself to worry about it.

GMail handles labels better and has a bigger viewing panel
also the default email app doesn't string conversations together
Not impossible, launcher pro has gmail widgets that I use everyday on OG EVO and 3D EVO

I have it for honeycomb on my transformer running stock 3.2 and it doesn't work.
i don't think it's possible, just use gmail widget
I would love to have a favorites button on my phone app. Right now it has 4 tabs: phone, contacts, call history, and groups. There is an option to customize or rearrange them, but no way to have favorites right there even though you can make a favorites group.
Is there any way to do this? Would make calling people way faster, and don't want to use desktop space for speed dials.
Yes! Someone needs to port over the stock ICS contacts!
Agreed.

Until this happens you can always put them into a folder. Yes it takes up 1 space but it seems to the only solution I can see for the immediate future.
