hi, just want to ask how to disable contacts and connection synchronization during start up? thanks
I am assuming that you have selected the permanent save feature, by unselecting the calender and contacts in permanent save application this would stop the synchronisation at startup following a reset.
start -> settings -> system -> permanent save and unselect the appropriate apps.

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.)
how can I completely close Skype? (uninstall is not an option)
I am using Skype 2.0.0.47 (newest on market) for Android on my Samsung GT-I9100 with Android 2.3.3
I logout and close (double back) Skype on exit
I unchecked logon automatically
I unchecked skype account in settings - accounts and sync phone
but after a time when I look at Running apps (settings - applications - running services) skype is running, so i stop it, but after a time it is running ...
Its very annoying
I have no root on my phone so I can not use app that require that

why do you need to close it completely? if its a battery issue, your most likely killing it faster having your phone continually restart the service
its good question 'why?'
it pisses me off that i can not control apps on my phone - please do not send me to shrink
Goto Skype settings

you try turning off notifications?
thanks for advice, i will disable notifications and see how it changes Skype behavior
I think thats a good idea
thanx turning off notifications helped
but its strange anyway, what notifications when I am loged out from skype?
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.
Application configures account authorities autosync status on configured conditions
mobile data connection
particular wifi connection
exposes sync period for which there is no screen in Android by default, exposes push sync authorities - so it is possible to disable push sync.
Android Market link
Main motivation of this application was to be able to have autosync for Exchange only on particular wifi nets (at work) and not at home and to not to have Google autosync on work wifi.
Second motivation is to be able to disable push sync if one has multiple devices it may cause dificulties to have push sync enabled on all. Third motivation was to enable periodic sync of my selection (it is possible to select from many values) of any account - as supplement to my other app.
Do you mind elaborating what is
"Sync type" on third tab, after I click on specific account type. It has three different values - always on, always off and auto.
And yes, if it works as promised even for Gmail sync then it would be the coolest discovery on xda for a while for me.

Third tab 3 values mean
Auto - autosync will be calculated according to networks settings (enabled only on selected networks)
Always on - autosync will be always on
Always off - autosync will be always off
I added this option to be able to disable some autosync always, e.g contacts for one of several google accounts, for twitter contacts, etc.
I found this app is extreme useful in concept.
How do I use this though -
I have set 15 minute time interval for my exchange account through your app with background data turned off and autosync also turned off.
I have set autosync always on through your app for my exchange and gmail account.
But after doing this, I don't receive any emails. I have also tried this with gmail but I believe syncing is not happening.
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I need to have background data on or off and how about autosync through Android settings menu....?
thanks.

If you turn off background data or autosync then sync will not happen. What you wanna achieve?

Ok it looks like I need to have background data and autosync turned on in order for app to work...
I have created my own profile with tasker which turns on and off the autosync and force myexchange account to sync. I have not been to force gmail to sync with this. Remember I have been able to do this without turning on background data and autosync thus saving lot of battery.
Anyways, I will keep an eye on development of this app. Good luck for this.
There is probably misunderstanding what application does and what you think it should do and gmail is using push sync.
For Gmail - with this application it is possible to disable push sync - it is important if you have phone, tablet, ... and you want to have push only on one device. Then if disabled (both push and gmail) gmail receives new email only if you refresh manually.
Hello
is this app working in ICS Roms? I cannot make it work in my SGS2 with a ICS Rom.
My settings are, for example for Google Contacts:
* In this app: Google accounts active for Cellular Data, Periodic Sync for Contacts: 5 hours, Sync type: auto
* In android Account and sync settings: Google account syncronization active for Contacs
With this configuratoin, contacts are syncing more often that 5 hours. I suppose that they should sync every 5 hours.
Is this configuration and assumption correct?
thanks
Regards
Raúl
So this app enable and disable sync in auto? I can choose sync afert 5hours for example?
It disables data background too?
Sorry for question

It doesn't work..I don't know why..if I select data connection and if I active the syncro every 2hours it stays always on anyway..

Application should work on Android 4, however your assumptions are incorrect. Google synchronization adapters are using push sync style and periodic sync does not work for them (we could say that those synchronization adapters are not correctly implemented). Application is useful when one wants to disable push sync (in case of Google) in definedd networks (for privacy reasons) = application can disable push sync for Google data authorities (authority is thing in Account like contacts, calendar, etc.).
Other applications, that are correctly implemented (not many) will sync according to settings. I.e. if periodic sync is 5 hours for given authority it will sync each 5 hours.
Application does not disable background data, if you disable background data synchronization framework is deactivated and correctly implemented applications will not (cannot) then transfer any data.
If you set sync each 2 hours then indeed authority stays on, periodic sync means that synchronization is invoked each 2 hours, but it does not mean that it will uncheck sync for given authority in the account.
Synchronization is also started automatically when data is changed in Android for that authority.

In phone do I leave background data and auto sync checked?
Thanks...
Depending on apps you have and what you want to achieve yes or no, but normal usage should be that you keep background data and master autosync on and my app will enable/disable things according to settings.
Many applications are incorrectly created and do not have settings (or ignore settings) in accounts - i.e. if you open account there are no items and have own implementation of synchronization instead using one that is present in Android.
Then there are apps that are using push, e.g. google, there you must enable expert mode.
Dear OndrejP
I discovered your app and installed on my N9005. I read your page http://www.psencik.cz/articles/autosync-account-activator-explained
but I'm a little confused.
Can you please guide me as per my expectation.
I have 5-6 gmail accounts. I want only gmail and calendar items to be synched. I don't want anything else to be synched.
And I want my gmail to synch once for each 1 hour.
I don't want to get any email as it arrives to my gmail inbox.
What shall be the state of mobile data?
What shall be the state of android autosynch?
What shall be my settings at your application tabs, for my gmail accounts?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
