How often does Sense syncs the accounts?? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Mmhmm i'm using my hero with a 2.1 + Sense Rom (Cronos 1.7.1) and i have a question.
Sense can sync with Gmail,Facebook,Twitter,Flickr, and Weather.
I think that twitter account is managed by Peep; and the Twitter widget is linked too with Peep.
But.........
How often does the Hero syncs all this stuff??
I have the sync widget (in energy widget) always on, of course.
Thanks.

If you go into setting in twitter you can set the upsdate frequency.
For the rest of the sync items...i dont know im afraid, not sure if you can change the update frequency for contacts etc. (unless you press the sync widget )
Also bear in mind that some task killers will 'kill' the app which stops it from updating.
Im not sure whixh sync widget you have but the one i have needs to be 'pressed' to sync, its not automatic

Google Calendar Not Syncing At All

I got syncing working between Outlook and the Google Calendar site ... so I can see all my events and such on the Google Calendar website.
What isnt working is the sync with my Tab 10.1 ... I can see the calendar name on the Tab (and it changes on the Tab almost immediately when I change the calendar name on the website) but none of the events ever sync down to the device.
I've tried removing my google account and setting it back up, tried just turning sync on/off, tried powering off/on ... any one else having this issue and/or solved it? Thanks.
I am having the same exact issues you are. When I'm out and about I set all my calander events on my evo. Non of them however transfer over to my tab. I made sure auto sync is on and even tried manually hitting the sync button but no dice. Its easier to view mybdaynahead on my tab. Hopefully next update take all GT 10.1s from a beta feel to a solid feel. On my second GT10.1 already :-(
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "
So between this issue and a few others I factory reset my SGT last night and magically the Google Calendar is working perfectly now (so far). :-/
Not sure if my answer apply, but I sync with exchange and that work fine at least.
I think I'm having the same issue, or at least I'm sure that the calendar widgets don't show all the synched appointments in my calendars...

the calendar widget is garbage, because it only displays your events for the week. download WIZZ from the market, it has a much better agenda widget.

[Q] background data and auto sync

just want to be sure-
background data and auto sync only effect the things i chose right under it? facebook, weather, etc?
if so, does that really even use that much battery? if im having weather synced to update every 3 hours and facebook every 2?

[Q] facebook events via widgets (daylight saving time issue)

hi. i have an issue with the times on facebook events when displayed via a widget. i live in the uk and we are currently in bst (gmt+1). all my other calendar events show the correct times except for facebook events where the time is an extra hour ahead (as if it was applying daylight savings twice). if i view the events in the facebook app they have the correct time, as they do via the default calendar application. i've installed numerous calendar/agenda widgets and they all exhibit the same problem with facebook events. if i manually change the timezone of my phone to gmt it corrects the times but i'd rather not leave my phone like this. does anyone know if this is a simple setting i need to change or is there an underlying bug somewhere ?
if it helps i'm running the xwkf3 firmware, the phone is rooted, and i'm currently using the "go launcher ex" launcher (i've tried other launchers but this makes no difference).

gmail sync

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to set gmail to only sync at certain intervals. For instance sync every hour, 2hours, 3hours, etc...
I want to have it sync but would prefer to save battery by having it on a set schedule instead.of constant sync or manual sync. Fir now I just do it manually but would prefer to have a set interval.
is their an app I can get to set this? Maybe even another email app I can have my gmail sync thru instead of the gmail app that would have this option? Thanks for any help
checkout settings/battery & data manager/data saver or data delivery. looks like you can set email and corporate sync.
or you could try settings/accounts/long press your gmail account/open account/ and uncheck sync gmail. and just manually recheck when you want it to sync
couldn't really find an app that does what your looking for, google uses push so you pretty much get the notification asap. if i'm sitting at my workstation with gmail open i tend to get the notification on my phone faster than my browser. you might have to just leave sync off and turn it back on when you want to be notified of new emails
Yeah what I have setup right now((running eclipse 8.1 that has aosp account/sync settings ))
I unchecked autosync and turned off background data.
then when I want to check I just open gmail and press menu>refresh.
I really ONLY read my emails through the gmail app. I don't use the browser version much at all.
I was just hoping someone new of a way I could get it to automatically sync but just every hour or something. O well. Guess ill stick to this method until google integrates that option into gmail app. I sent them feedback asking for the option so here's to hoping im not alone. Thanks.
im sure your not alone, though you might go unheard just because the point of having gmail at the convenience of you phone is to get you your emails no matter where you are. but i'd send google some feedback regardless, even if they don't add that type of feature quickly, google does want to please its audience.

Calendar Widget since update.

Anyone else have an issue with the HTC Calendar Widget since T-Mobile's latest update for the Amaze?
Previously it used to show me events for things like my friends birthdays using the information from Facebook. Noticed today that it wasn't showing my my friend's birthday. Seems like it just no longer displays that information. Just me or everyone have this issue now with HTC's Calendar Widget?
I've even removed it from the Home screen, and re-added it. During the re-add I confirmed that Facebook was checked/selected still as one of the sources it should get data from.

Mine is displaying just fine.
Are you talking about calendar 1, 2 or 3?
I am using 1.
HTC Calendar Widget version 3.0.2118282653.140764
HTC Calendar version 3.02120283257.184156
View Mode 3/3 (small bar).
Set on first Home screen under the Clock/Weather Widget.
I've force stopped both of the above apps and done a clear data with no luck.
If I go to 'Settings|Account and Sync|Facebook' and then click 'Sync Calendar' to try and force it to Sync it ends up with a Red Exclamation Mark and the text "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same appears for 'Live Feed'.
The dates for both the last Calendar Sync and Last Live Feed sync to Facebook show as Mon, Dec 12 2:07PM which is a bit before the phone got upgraded to 1.43.531.3 from T-Mobile over the air.
I've also tried rebooting the phone and have even pulled the battery.
EDIT: Solution Found.
Found this via some posts on the net related to syncing Facebook contacts but appears to have worked for calendar as well.
1). from a PC, Logon to Facebook, hit dropdown on right of screen and select 'Account Settings'
2). Click Apps, then remove permissions for HTC Sense
3). On the Phone, Go to 'Settings|Applications|Manage Applications|All'
4). Find "Facebook for HTC Sense" and click it.
5). Force Stop, then Clear Cache if available, then Clear Data
6). Hold Power on the phone and select "Restart"
7). When the phone boots back up you'll have to authorize Facebook for HTC Sense again and then it will work.
Everything is good now. Calendar, Live Feed, and Contacts are all syncing now (before only Contacts were syncing).
Coming from Runnymede AIO V6 on my Desire and really liked the stock HTC Weather Clock Widget in 4x1. Does anyone know how to port just that widget to say, NRG's 2.27.12 ROM? Attached are screenshots of the widget and the details for it if that helps.
Cheers.

Figured out it is a Sense 3.5 option. Switched ROM's to Xboarder's Sense 3.5 RC1.7 and it is in there.
Cheers
