So I just updated to jellybean and I noticed that the gallery settings has syncing options I have all syncing disabled well atleaast I thought I did but my google account said it did a sync today. They all say disabled under settings but in gallery app my google account has a green sync button next to it. Where in the hell is it syncing to and from?
update:so I've been reading that the stock gallery auto syncs to web services can anyone confirm this? Also I definitely can't seem to disable it. Account is definitely disabled in settings menu under sync, just enabled in the gallery
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.

Hi guys, just received my mate 7 32Gbps from.China with gmail and play store installed but it seems they forgot to add the contact sync option and it doesn't appear in the Google account option (I have only app, people contacts and email sync options).
Does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts and add this option on a chinese import mate 7 ???
Thanks for help
Im in the same space as you are maly348. Usually for Huawei i root the phone and rename that XML file in the china directory and that takes care of the contacts sync issue but none of my one click root programs work with the mate 7 yet.
I am willing to paypal $50 to anyone that can help me get this done!

You just need to install GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.APK, that will enable you to sync your google contact. it is available in XDA forum please search for it. No need to root the phone for this function. It works on my Huawei P7 and Mate 7.
Hi suksanto
Thanks for this Input... It works just fine on my Mate 7 now!
Well done!
Thanks, it appears now but for whatever reason, it keep syncing non stop without stopping ... Which version of gapps did you install ?

I have downloaded the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from cyanogenmod.org, they have a section for Google Apps. I have installed it using the built-in File Manager as a non-market app, no need to root device, which is great. However I have two google accounts that I am using for sync (one for private and one for business) and I can only enable sync for one of them. The other one, when I enable auto sync, it appears as if it is enabled but then the auto sync is switched off. Any ideas of what may be wrong? I installed the latest google apps package GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from the cyanogenmod website, it is version 20140606 CM11.

Are the two Gmail accounts both added to the default account management?

Yes they are. I managed to now get both accounts to sync. After several attempts, the syncing switch finally stayed "on" for both.

It was disturb me because consuming my storage, causing my phone lag and decreasing my data quota. What should I do to prevent those apps donwnloaded automatically?

It means that I logging in with my gmail? Yes I logged on my gmail when I opened the browser. And I sync my mail to my phone so I can opened my mail on my phone cause I need it for my job. May I prevent those apps from downloading with logging out my gmail on my browser? Or I need to unsync my gmail to my phone too? I'll appreciate your help.
Hello, im loving my OP7 Pro so far - sadly i got one issue. I don't receive Notifs from Gmail... i enabled them all (the app does not appear in battery optimization so i cannot disable that). i got no issues with other apps. Im running out of idea.. i found a topic about the 6 and 5T but didnt deliver and sultion... anyone got the same problem?
i only see the mails if i actually open gmail.
I had the same issue with Gmail, I'm a Google apps user so have a service agreement with them, they managed to fix it at their end.
If your issue is the same as mine then you're Gmail notifications will not work on other phones too.
If they do work on other phones then you're issue is different to the one I had.
I hope this may help.

hello, thanks for your quick reply,
they worked fine on my huawei mate 20 x before.
so i guess the error is on a secret / hidden setting i cannot find
It's the deep sleep Android goes to. It's not showing in the battery optimization bc GMAIL is a system app.
Fix 1, Uninstall system GMAIL app with Titanium backup "root required" and install from the app store. It will show up in battery optimization then add to no optimize.
Fix 2, run "dumpsys deviceidle disable" w/o quotes in Terminal Emulator under SU "Root required" or add in into script and have execute at boot.
Fix 1 and 2 both worked for me before.
I installed magisk module, OxygenOS Gmail Battery Fix. It works for me so far.

It also doesn't work if I keep Gmail open and just turn the screen off.
So I basically need to root it to get notifications? Seems rather unintended no?
You'll need root to turn off Android doze or uninstall Gmail as a system app and reinstall as user app. That's the nature of the beast.

You can do it without root as well: Using Nova Launcher (or another launcher which can create activity shortcuts), long press on homescreen, click on widget and create an activity for: Settings -> Battery optimization (.Settings$HighPowerApplicationsActivity), open it, set to "all Apps" with the dropdown menu and it will show all Apps including system Apps. Then choose "not optimized" for Gmail

That's another issue then if it doesn't notify you if you send an email shortly after turning off the screen. Do you get notifications when the screen is on?
I found a great substitute for Gmail. Try Edison Email on the Play store. Notifications work great, and app is very customizable.

I tried it and i like it... yet same problem as gmail.. mails only show when i open the app.. and i excluded edison already from battery optimization... i really dont know what i am doing wrong
I have exactly the same issue...
Same here. With activty launcher from Nova i can change Gmail to ''dont optimize''. But it will reset after restart...
Go to Settings / Accounts / Google / Account sync
Disable and reenable sync for Gmail.
This fixes it for me every time. Issue typically comes back after some Gmail updates (not after all updates).

nope doesnt work either
Trust me when I say this won't work, it took Google 2 weeks and lots of bug reports for them to find the issue assuming it's the same as mine.
Please confirm you still receive notifications on a different phone.
If not like I had, Google technical support had to fix something there end.
Having the same issue on my S10+ .. I receive some notifications on one Gmail account - but it's hit/miss on the rest.

I installed Outlook and it works flawlessly, receiving a notification even couple of seconds before my computer. I used it for Gmail accounts and also for Exchange account.

Hello all,
Looking for some help with my contacts app not syncing and only allowing me to save contacts to my device. When I try to sign into my Google account in the app it just tells me I am already signed in even tho it won't show my profile or any contacts. I have tried clearing the app storage for contacts and reinstalling my Google account but that did not work. I also factory reset the phone and for a while the contacts app worked but then it broke again. I am not exactly sure when it broke but my phone is magisk rooted and I suspect maybe it was after I installed the UNSF module and cleared storage from Google play and Google services and rebooted? Have been searching around for a fix but haven't been able to come up with one yet so appreciate any suggestions.
