Could someone please explain me how google currents sync works?
I have only two option: sync on/off and sync on wifi only on/off: fine BUT when does it sync?
This morning on the train, where I have no 3G signal, I was hoping I could read articles BUT: some were 1 day old, some I could not open cos it was trying to download content...
I'd expect that if I keep the tablet at home with wifi on and sync enabled, it would sync periodically, so that in the morning all articles would be updated... Am I wrong?
I find that each periodical that I use, needs to be opened to update. when I first open them, they are from the last time I was viewing, takes a second to update. usually it won't update until I try to open a story, and it's funny because when I click on the old story that has not been updated, it opens the updated story that is in the same location on the screen. weird.
so there's no way to update all periodics? even manually would be ok, although i expect it dto do it automatically...
In the app click on the top right vertical dotted line select settings and make sure background sync is enabled. Also in the tab settings, click on google in the accounts part and make sure currents is ticked to sync. You can sync manually by clicking on the synce button on this page.

There is also a sync now option in the menu of google curents, but I am not sure if this applies to the single subscription or to all of them

I have an annoying bug with the gmail apk.
When I hit the "sync" button to look for new emails (I have autosync turned off) and I have a new mail, the app would show me "Inbox (1)" in the upper left corner, meaning there should be one new email. However, sometimes/often that one new email just won't appear in the emails list. I can see my old mails but the new one just isn't there, altough the (1) is displayed. When I go to my the "All mails" Category instead of the "inbox", I can see it, also when I look it up on the PC.
This happens sometimes more, sometimes less often (last time yesterday), and I have no Idea why so. Sometimes I would get for example 3 new mails, but only 2 are displayed
Anyone else with that problem?
me too facing this
You don't have to "sync" gmail as it uses push. So just check the "sync" option and emails should get pushed to your phone when they are received. Why did you turn that option off?
Sent from my brain
Do you refer to the "Auto-Sync" option under Accounts & sync? Because I cannot find a "Push" option anywhere...
If you mean that, I deactivated it because it sucks alot of energy as it refreshes all the time in order to fetch your mails. I'd rather just go into the app and check for new mails myself.
And the fact that sometimes I see the mails in my inbox and sometimes I don't (only the number in brackets appears in the upper left corner but no mail) tells me that this is indeed a bug.
How come only 2 people are having this?
That's not how PUSH works

That's not how PUSH works. Resources are NOT used, or used so little to be insignificant when you have GMail set up to Sync. Basically, as long as there are no messages, you will never get a notification, and your phone will not check mail. When a message is sent to you, ONLY THEN will your phone "do something" by displaying the fact that you have a message.
However, if you use HTC's mail function, that's another story. There you have to actually decide how often you want the app to check mail, or do it manually, as you are doing now. So, even if you get no mail, it will still check as often as you have it set up to do so. This uses far more resources.
Again, if you have GMail set up properly, just leave it alone. It will only "do something" when there is mail. Otherwise, nothing.

Thank you for the input, much appreciated. Guess I had the wrong Idea of how Push works. I know people kept saying that it eats battery life like crazy on the iphone back then.
So, is "Auto-Sync on" (Accounts & sync menu) = Push on?
Because I still can't find an entry that says push.
Finally, I still have that bug in gmail....
Well new firmware updated the asus my cloud splash top.
It now allows connection using google from outside your own network.
However, for me it force closes if i try to edit my connection settings and when i connect all i get is a black screen.
Anyone else with this issue?
ya i have the same issue with a FC when i hit the "+" button
look for splashtop in menu> applications > all apps
and clear its data
Still no dice.

I cleared my data and still cannot edit my settings for the way the app displays the desktop of my laptop . When I hit the edit button the app force closes. I can still connect to my laptop but because the default resolution setting on the asus is lower than my laptop it instantly screws up my shortcuts. Too bad. I really enjoyed the convenience of working on my computer from my couch using my transformer. FYI. I went to the market and what used to be free(splashtop) now is $2.99. Could be related.
I had the same problem. Right after the update, I was able to connect with gmail, but had FC when trying to edit connection. I also noticed the password would not save no matter if you had the box checked to remember password. So each time you disconnect, you would have to enter the PW again.
After going to SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, MANAGE APPLICATIONS --> Splashtop Remote, I clicked on Clear data and force stop. When I reopened the my cloud icon it had me agree to the EULA. Then I set up the connections again. It found them automatically with the gmail and also on the local netowork. I was also able to edit settings. My password automatically saved this time also.
One stupid thing that I noticed was that the hints gestures changed. In order to move the screen around you have to use three finger drag. This was different than before. One finger drag moves the mouse now. Took a while to figure it out, as I assumed the gestures were the same and dismissed the hints box. Now this app runs in the native resolution of the computer I connect to. Other than this little hiccup, I'm liking this app more and more each time it updates. Better than log me in for this device for sure.
Thanks reaperzero!

Hello all,
Ok - this is really mind boggling and as such I decided to make an account and ask all you experts about it.
I used to have an HTC Thunderbold and with its very poor battery, I had set my 5 emails to synch manually. So, whenever I felt like it, I would just go to settings and click on sync all.
Yesterday I got my Galaxy S3. I rooted it right away, and then plugged in all my email accounts. 5 accounts - 3 gmail, 1 yahoo, and 1 private. I set them up all under the stock app, because I don't like the gmail app and I don't want to download any other apps. That's how I had them set up with my Thunderbolt too.
Now, with the Galaxy S3, the battery is better, so I have set it to check for new emails/sync every few minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak hours. But I am just wasting time here - let me just get to the problem:
If I go to Settings -> Email (under Accounts), then all my email accounts are there but the little "loading circles" are greyed out and they all say "Sync disabled". I have a screenshot that I wanted to post but as a new user I am not allowed. So, the button at the bottom of that screen that reads "Sync all" simply doesn't do anything. I click it and it stops loading in a split second.
If I click on each individual account out of that list, then the only option I have is to Sync or Delete the account. If I go to the settings of each email account, then I see that "Sync Email" is checked on all of them, and I have edited the sync schedule for each of them too.... So... how is it that they all say "Sync disabled"??
Moreover, and most importantly, how can I change it so that when I click on Sync all, ALL my email accounts are actually synced?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

. . . at the top of that Accounts & Sync screen is a "switch" to turn "on" or "off" the sync capability . . . should be toggled to a "green" colored ON. . .
Hello there! Here I am again feeling like the only one...
Since the update, none of my accounts sync - except the Verizon backup thing. Dropbox has the sync disabled and I can't enable it. Have looked in the app itself, under data usage, and under accounts, but the sync option is grayed out or not available. Email/Gmail say that they're enabled, but they don't auto sync.
And that new shortcut bar has caused a display issue with Internet and several other apps having a blue-tinted transparent "screen" which makes it difficult to read because it darkens the page.
I've done a lot of searching and fully expected to find a bunch of threads about this, but apparently, I'm using the wrong search terms or I'm the only one experiencing this.
Please help... I'm driving across country in three days and I really need to know my phone is working.

I think I can help you with at least some of your problems.
Your blue tint on your screen is probably due to power save mode being enabled. It's in settings, just make sure it's turned off.
For the auto sync feature, I think you don't have it enabled under accounts in settings. Go into settings again, look for accounts, click on Google, and make sure it's enabled. Click on the auto sync symbol, and make sure everything is checked that you want auto synced. To get Dropbox to auto sync, you have to manually add it it with the + sign in accounts.
This may not be exact, I haven't run a stock rom in a while, my layout may be different.
Thank you for trying to search first.

My Dropbox also displays the grayed out option in my son's since taking the update. I have however still been uploading my pictures. When I go into Dropbox and select the photos tab the second button from top left it will bring up all my uploaded photos.

Hello,
I'm not receiving new mail notifications, it happened few times already. Every battery saving optimisation is disabled!
Phone's build number is MHA-L29C432B126, no updates available
Is there something I can do to start receiving notifications?
Check Settings - Apps - Gmail - Notifications. Check so it's turned on

It is enabled already, thank you anyway.
BTW notifications work when I'm testing it not long after screen was on, but it stops after a while. It's obviously some kind of battery usage optimisation - gmail is killed somehow so it doesn't receive push events. As I said before, I checked all power settings and they are all set on the safe side (no auto closing apps).

There is no gmail on that list, mostly apps I installed by myself (no factory apps), only few exceptions.
By default, only "allowed" apps are shown and I did selected "All apps" option - still no gmail...
BTW I googled a lot about this problem and found some instructions which says that notification problems could be solved by "locking" apps in recent apps list (square navbar button). I did it yesterday evening and I'm receiving notifications today. I'm not sure the issue is really fixed because notifications sometimes found their way before too. Also, seems like dirty solution, I guess the problem remains for other apps...

Yes...i get confused with mine - China version that all Google Apps are in that list.... If you lock apps in recent apps list maybe will solve your problem...
In Chinese version this is the only way for all apps Google and social media...
