Auto Sync wont stop syncing.. any help

Ok so I have notice that the sync icon keeps popping up and I have went into the settings and disable the sync for gmail but kept the contacts and same with FB just have contacts but every like 3-5 mins it pops up again has anyone had this issue and know how to fix this? I am rooted not roms just root.

I don't remember seeing it that often but it didn't stop until I turned off auto sync and background data on my completely stock Inspire.

Well so far everything seems ok after I took off g calendar but still not sure but what does disabling the data and auto sync data do anyways

Turning them off keeps you in control of syncing your accounts. If an app needs background data, it will tell you. When you want to update go into accounts and sync under settings and click sync all.

I see.. was not 100% sure lol and I also noticed that the mock location was un checked if I remembered it was checked so I checked and its almost 24 hrs can I have not seen it starting to auto sync.

[Q] Sensation constantly has () in status bar, not in sync with google!

The sync bar has been on more than off in my status bar and I cannot figure out why. I've tried clearing the data from gmail, yet still nothing.
My iPhone and iPad both alert me to new mail, I check the Sensation and it just has that stupid sync logo in the status bar.
Any ideas how to get the google sync to be more reliable. I'm generally on WiFi or sitting at my desk at work with 3-4 bars 4G.

that means its syncing with something, not necessarily google. could be htc sync, facebook, twitter, weather, qik video chat, google maps/latitude, etc

go to the gmail apps settings and make sure you have the notification on, then go to accounts/sync and make sure that gmail box is checked to sync

It's likely caused by the HTC Sense sync client. It takes a long time to sync as it makes a backup of your Sense configuration settings.
I personally disabled it as I started noticing that I've used a lot of data the first week that I bought this phone.

i have noticed the same and i think i will do what carlo said and disable it too.. to see if that works... i will just sync manually before i go to bed or every other day

I also found put that it syncs your contacts and texts. I wish there was a way to disable that. Oh well, started using Cerberus instead to track my phone.

Try clearing the cache and data from the applications>All>Gmail settings screen. Then open up gmail again and it'll re-sync. That should work.

Thanks I tried it and it seems to work but when Im on my tablet It seems to only get pushed just to the tablet not the phone as well. Is that normal?

Do you have the "Mobile data always-on" checked?

Lol yea. Unless it goes into power saving mode

Go into settings > Accounts and Sync > select the account that is not syncing > Then make sure that the Sync Gmail checkbox is checked.

It is it does sync but it doesn't sync as in pushed notifications I can have an email and I won't know unless its refreshed

Bump.
Having the same problem. Gmail push isn't working reliably. Sometimes it works, but mostly not. I've verified all settings for syncing. If I go into a Gmail account and select Refresh it downloads the new emails, but auto notification is just flaky as heck, and mostly not working.
I'm running pure stock, not rooted. Anyone else seeing this, or have suggestions for fixing?
Thanks.

This is what messed up my sync a while back:
Settings > Power > Enable power efficiency
If it's on it will turn off auto sync based on what when idle. That fixed my gmail issues, dunno if it's the same for you.

I did have that setting turned on, so will leave it off and see if that's the issue.
Thanks.

Try reinstalling gmail through the market.

Google Talk - Delayed Incoming Notifications

Hey guys,
Tried searching for this, but nada.
Anyone else having issues with your phone being idle but powered on ans upon bringing on the screen you receive a google talk notification that's old? Is been happening to me lately, and I can't tell if it's the phone or the fact that my desktop version is intercepting the message and preventing the phone notification.
I'm tempted to no longer use the desktop built in gmail version, but I wanted to see if others are having similar issues.
Thanks in advance!

Can't guarantee this, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with the phone letting the Google talk process close when the phone is in it's sleep state. I've noted that I keep having to re sign in to gtalk when I wake up my phone and suspect that it is an issue with the horrible multitasking that HTC has bundled into sense 4.0.

I assume both of you also get delayed notifications with push email using the native Gmail app? I also frequently get logged out of Google Talk when I put the phone in standby mode. When I am logged out of Google Talk, my push emails are delayed in the Gmail app until I log back into Google Talk.
So it seems to be some problem of getting disconnected from google services when the phone is asleep.

I don't think i've been getting delayed notifications, but I do notice that my chat gets out of order a lot. My replies will be above whoever is talking to me no matter what order each was sent in.

Almost every phone that comes out gets a google talk going eventually so there is lots out there, but each phone has it's own issues. Here is a thread that was pretty good from the Galaxy Nexus Forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400367
With the HOX I have had issues with Google Talk not working great when the wifi is dropping, so this might be part of the wifi issue that pretty much everybody is having with this phone. The wifi stays connected but seems to go to sleep so your phone only gets the notification once it is woken up. Try turning off the wifi and seeing if you have the same problem.
As for Google Talk, there are some oddities that go along with using it on multiple devices. Here is some stuff I figured out playing around with it on multiple devices and computers at the same time. (I posted this in the GN forums as well)
"Google Talk is my main means of communication it seems so I have played with it a lot. Here are my observations.
1. To keep it "up" all the time in the Talk App hit the menu button (three dots now) >settings>uncheck automatic away status. Also make sure your phone has automatic syncing turned on for your gmail account: Setting>Accounts and Sync>ON (for your chat gmail address anyway). Additionally make sure your mobile data is turned on if you are ever off wifi: Settings>More>Mobile networks>Data Enabled (checked to turn on)
2. You can have up to 6 devices linked to your talk account at once, after that they just stop working.
3. When you receive a IM it appears on both your phone and your gmail account. If you start typing on the gmail account (or G+) it hijacks the whole session and you phone no longer gets the notifications, but the conversation still shows up on the chat window on the phone. When you are done with the IM session make sure you close the window on gmail (or G+) and send one last message from your phone or tablet to take the session back over, if you don't your phone will not receive future chat notifications. You can also just log out of your gmail/G+ session and it will automatically return everything to your phone/tablet but who ever does that?
4. To figure out how it all worked and tinker with it I use both of my gmail accounts and chat back and forth with them. You can do it from separate browsers or just open an incognito window in Chrome and log into your other gmail account. I would recommend this so you can see all of this stuff in practice.
Good Luck, hope this helps"

Gtalk and gmail delays
Hi all,
I have performed tests and discovered that if i disable WiFI and only use the phone's data connection "4g" or LTE that i receive all my messages with no problem even when the phone locks/goes to sleep. However if i leave wifi turned on, within 5-10 seconds i stop receiving them and will only receive them when i wake up the phone/unlock or wait for the delay which can be anywhere from 5-15 mins.
Trying to figure out a way to by pass this, but can't seem to figure it out. I don't want to keep my wifi off when i'm at work or home so i don't use data as i have 3GB and not unlimited so it kind of sucks that i have to keep wifi off for now. Any thoughts/ideas would be great, thanks.

This. I have issues with timely/accurate reception of notifications from GV. I only use my account for voicemail, but typically I only get voicemail notifications if I open the actual application (which I do because my gmail account receives an email notification now, as well). Sometimes I notice GV as a running task, but often times not, so to me it seems that (possibly) multitasking or some other form of process management in ICS or Sense is not prioritizing the GV process and it's associated actions. I dont mind the aggressive multitasking, but it would be nice to have the option of protecting some processes, such as GV.

I removed google + app completely with titanium backup, and the problem is gone., I get the messages immediately

Push Notifications Fixer can fix it

I'm running the latest Viper, I've never had an issue receiving or sending msgs. The only time the phone won't alert me is if I am actively typing in the browser window.
I'll note though that I never have wifi on, it's always on the mobile network.

I tried everything not even this works for me
Same problem, screen off - phone disconnects, unlock the phone - messages start to appear
Same problem on 2 different phones and 2 different numbers

I don't use G Talk, but I see the same thing with G Voice. I almost never get voicemail notifications on my HOX (they show up instantly on my old GNex). I blame Sense (for this and other things).

Same problem, but with Nexus 4 when I am on WiFi. With data connection, it works without problems.

Constant Network activity

Just installed the network speed indicator and noticed that I have constant network activity that I just can't get rid of.
On my Nexus 5 I had aokp installed and the indicator was part of the rom and after settings things up and disabling all auto update in apps I had (for the most time) zero network activity.
Now on my bacon I have the same apps, with the same setup (even uninstalled a couple apps) but the newtork activity just won't stop.
I just downloaded the "Network Connections" app and it seems that "Google Contacts Sync" uses the network all the time.
I already tried turning off all sync functions, but it just won't stop.
I mean it's only a couple of bytes most of the time... but shouldn't it be dead silent, when sync is turned off?

Yeah, mine is constantly using 150 bytes to 1KB at all times. Strange.

It collects and sends all your contact to OPO to secure the customer base to know whom they can send the invites in future.
ROFL!
But, seriously , it's not ok.
My Xperia Z is dead silent. But this little chinese OPO Snowden talks too much to my taste.

It really does seem a little too chatty.
Never had that on my gnex nor on my nexus 5.
And I just don't know what else I could turn off... As far as I see, I disabled everything that might cause the activity, but it still won't stop sending and receiving a couple of bytes every second.

I don't have this problem, but I have auto-sync turned off.

This is getting silly.
I was able to stop the "Google Contacts Sync" activity by deleting maps and now the Google Backup Transport won't stop.
I don't get it...

Me too.
I don't have one single function on this phone anymore that is allowed to sync.
No notifications, no weather updates, no syncs, nothing.
Like I said...I don't get it.
Ps. This is getting ridiculous, I'm gonna start from scratch, see if that helps.
Thanks anyway, guys.
