[Q]Difference between Background data and Auto-sync option? - General Questions and Answers

What are these options for? I want the sync feature to be exclusively ON just for Gmail, Whatsapp (those having accounts listed below that).
The problem is that it is ON for all other apps and drains my battery as well as using packet data a lot. When I disable Background data, it is OFF for all and I can't use Market too. Any way to solve this?
Sorry for my bad English if you can't get it clearly.

[Q] facebook share option in camera app

I dont share photos often, but shouldnt there be an option to post a pic directly to facebook in our camera app? Is this possible? Do I need to add something? Or just SOL
there is, if you take a picture and then click the bottom right corner of the app it'll open up that recent picture then click the share button and then scroll to FB I just checked it and it should work. Maybe make sure you are logged into facebook on your phone and if you are try a restart or if that still isn't working I think there is a way to open said photo in a different photoviewing app (i recommend quickpic) and that will have the share feature, but if that app can share to facebook then your camera app should be able to as well. In which case maybe a reflash of the rom WITHOUT A DATA WIPE should do the trick.
You can also access the camera from the FB app and post the picture directly that way.
I acctually just use my browser to ,access fb cuz the app uses too much batt. Maybe u need to have the app to have the share option?

You do.
That sucks! The fb app takes away hours of battery life.

You can try FriendCaster and disable notifications. It's quite a bit less resource intensive than the official app.
you can also disable notifications in the official FB app as well but knowing facebook some sort of data nonsense will be going on in the background so you can use a data blocker like pdroid (i think that's the name) or autostart blocker to stop it from opening unless you open it.

Install same app twice?

Hello anyone, is there a way to install the same app twice on my phone and keeping 2 sets of app data?
In my case I need to to operate 2 different Facebook accounts and I'd like to use the official Facebook app for both. Logging in and out multiple times an hour is not an option, and I don't like the other Facebook clients from the play store as well...
Thanks in advance!

Simple answer - no, it's not possible.
Long answer, yes it could be done, but whatever you try would require some form of interaction - you would either have to create multiple user accounts on your phone (semi-possible under JB) or use Titanium Backup to freeze one copy and un-freeze the other (should be doable, but I've never tried it).
I would also point out the advice BigJoe gave you under your other thread;-
first I don't have or do FB....but if must keep your secrets separate from work, why don't you use the browser "go mobile" for one and the app for your other one. Or if your work requires you to have a FB, why not just keep you private stuff....private.
I remember reading it was a violation of Facebook's Terms of Use to have multiple accounts, but never the less I don't FB.

The only real solution is to accept that you will simply have to either use the mobile browser version for one account or, if you require notifications, use another app for one of the accounts.
Will try the freezing, and thanks.

I've answered this question in the other post but I'll answer again. Try using pdroid. It allows you to set permissions for each and every app. Not exactly sure too what extent you can set the Permissions, but I believe it could be what your looking for. I've used it myself and I do know it will allow you to set permissions for every app. So it might be what your looking for. It would not hurt to give it a try.you can find pdroid in android apps and games,. Hope this is helpful. Hope it's what you need. Best wishes

No I don't want to disable the entire app, just some services started by it.
Example Facebook has three services:
Media upload service
Vault managet service
Background detection service
I want to disable MediaUploadService, cause I never upload things to FB and it keeps running in background consuming RAM. Also maps has 3 services, which I normally stop after using it because they consume 30 MB of RAM

yeap you have right
i just checked the app and i didn't see at least any of these you mentioned
i don't know any app to do that
Anyone?

Have you tried going into Facebook setting and clicking "never" for refresh interval? Also make sure location is off for messenger services...
Another method - Uninstall the FACEBOOK app, Don't use the app, just have a shortcut to Facebook as a browser link, works almost as good. :silly:

Do you have a sd card in your device?
There's a problem called "Media Scanner," don't know if this is the issue you've been having- however I had it at first. Was able to get rid of it tho!
I had all my music on my SD Card (40GB) and it constantly scanned/ tried to sync.
If this isn't the problem- check to see what services are running, and then you can assess which might be problematic

Make sure ur google account is set not to sync picasa. Then
Go to the gallery app in SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS. Then clear cache and data. Should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply dont have picasa so not a problem I've disabled sync for everything but contacts under google and cleared the cache and data, but for some reason my google account is sitting in in the gallery settings menu with a highlighted sync symbol next too it. Although I am unsure if it will sync anything I would just like it gone all the same.
Thanks.
Also check your cloud settings under device settings, there might be something there syncing your photos. I had Dropbox in there.

Under Accounts, Google Account, make sure "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is disabled. Then clear the Gallary cache and Data in Application Manager.
Worked for me.

Ive read about people having picasa sync problems, I cantmfind anything related to picasa on this tablet is it a preinstalled thing or is it only there if you install picasa?
I don't have picasa installed, but it is there. I think it comes from Google+ or might just come from your google account itself.
