Why does Google Voice Keep syncing when i turned it off

i turned off syncro on the googlevoice app on my captivate, i tried starting the app rebooting my phone but it still syncs, the only notification i set is through text, but on my phone i get notified for missed calls, voicemail and texts through the app, how the heck do i turn it off.
now if i turn off background sync under account management then it stop, but that stops everything else like market.
somebody must have a solution to this, the reason im so anal about this is because i only have 200mb on my plan

Does no body have the same problem as me?

I'm going to take a good guess here and say no one has answered you because no one understands what you are asking for.
You ask how to turn of synchronization in Google Voice, but you want the app to send you text message notifications? You need to go log into your Google Voice account on a PC and set the text messages notifications there and log out of Google Voice if you want it to stop the app from synchronizing.
If what you want to do is turn off notifications, then go into the settings and turn them off, but remember, you can not turn off missed calls notifications within Google Voice. Those have nothing to do with Google Voice. If the voice mail notifications are coming from your regular carrier, those too have nothing to do with Google Voice.
The easiest way I see of getting it to work like you want to is to set text message notifications from your home computer and just sign out of your Google Voice app and that will stop it from synchronizing until the next time you log in with the app.

So i have to sign out to make it stop synchronizing? Then what does the synchronize setting in the google voice app do. Does it have no function? Whether on or off it syncronizes everytime i get a text.
Essentially it syncs in the background when i don't want it to. Before i could be logged in and it wouldn't sync untill i refreshed the app

[Q] Google calendar - notifications

The calendar app is syncing just fine, but I'm not receiving any notices of upcoming events. In the settings - alerts and notifications are set to alert and a ringtone selected. Default reminder time 1hr.
The sync is on, but one thing I noticed is that when I do a manual sync, the sync icon just stays there. Unlike gmail, contacts.. those are a mere flash to sync.
Lastly, via the direct settings on google, I see an area for mobile setup but that just sends sms notices. I'd like it to notify me from the sync/settings on the app.. but this is an easy work around if necessary.
Any suggestions? (Edited: It seems that via google calendar directly, I have notifications setup via 'email'. To fix, they had to be changed to pop-up or be set directly in the app.)

[Q] How to stop mail auto syncing.

I keep getting notifications popping up from the mail app saying I have new unread emails, I have auto sync turned off and I can't find any settings to stop it in the mail app (note not GMail app I have that deleted)
Thanks.

I'm running CM7 on an Evo 4G.
I'm having the same issue. Have you or anyone else figured out how to stop this from happening? My corporate email (exchange server with stock email app) always syncs even when I uncheck Auto-sync in Settings>Accounts & sync>Auto-Sync.
The only way I can stop the account from syncing is to change the "Inbox check frequency" from "Automatic (Push)" to "None".
I'm hoping to figure out how to make this app respect the phones syncing settings and not sync when I uncheck the Auto-sync box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Email/Gmail Push Issues - My Solution or Temporary Fix

We all know by now that the phone has been weird with emails. Sometimes the push email works and sometimes it doesn't. My main issue was my Gmail. I have 3x Gmail and 2x Work.
This is what I did. So far, it's working 100%.
Please know, this will only work if you DON'T use the Gmail app.
1. Factory wiped the phone. Once started up, do not add your Google account yet.
2. Go into Settings and Apps and disable all your bloatware while you're here and make sure you disable the Gmail app. When you get out of it, it'll reload Sense. After this, go ahead and reboot your phone to be safe.
3. Now go ahead and go to Settings and Accounts and add your Google account. With Gmail disabled, it will not sync your email. Your choice if you want to sync Contacts.
4. Next, setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange via server method. Email and Username is your full email address. Leave Domain blank. The server address is m.google.com
5. When finished, set it up Push Email and not Smart Sync. If you did not sync your Contacts via Google, you can do it here also. Same with Calendar and Tasks.
Done!

With this method, I haven't had any issues...YET
Please comment if this works well for you.
Maybe we can see if it's just Gmail accounts in general or any Microsoft Exchange accounts too.
Please NO iOS vs Android statements

Or you can do what I did and go into your advanced wifi settings and enable Best Wifi Performance. Since I enabled this my push notifications have been coming instantly.

I had the issue regardless on WiFi, 4G, or LTE.
I am on LTE 100% so I prefer my faster connection

I know that this thread is about not using the Gmail app but I saw on the other thread about the email issues that some people complained about the Gmail app being slow too with getting push notifications.
I am a first time Android user and I have noticed that it usually takes several minutes for my phone to notify me in the GMail app. Is this normal across Android phones or does this push notification bug also affect the GMail app too?

This is NOT normal. The native gmail app should receive emails within 5-10 seconds (max) of when they would show up in your account if you were using a computer.

What worked for me was extremely simple. After I setup the accounts, I went back into "Accounts & Sync" and under each account, I simply toggled "Sync Mail" off, then back on. After I did that to each account, push was enabled and working on all accounts.

My Gmail app doesn't push all my mail. When I check my gmail on my laptop, there is still unread mail in my inbox???

[Q] Not receiving skype notifications

So when running Skype on my galaxy s6 (t-mobile variant but it's an app so I thought it might be all variants with this issue).
It will stay logged in and I will keep receiving messages for a short time. Even when I keep running skype in the background I will not receive notifications after a while like more than 30+ mins.
So, I have to launch the app or go through my recents and it acts as it's signing in and then I get my new messages.
It even says before you log out for the first time that you can stay logged on and keep receiving notifications without consuming the battery (which I think is bull, too).
Anyone else have this issue? Is it the app of the phone? Or the provider? This happens on data or wifi.

Also have same problem, was solved with "clear app data" and login with own account again

I'll try it out, thanks. Did you log in with your microsoft account or skype account, btw?

I believe since you mentioned you are not getting notifications after a while it is related to the same bug as email notifications.
