control frequency of google synching

[rdomloge]

I've searched for 'synchronize frequency' and 'synchronize profile' and a few others but I can't see any answers, so apologies if this has already been dealt with...

I want to know how to control when google synchronizes gmail calendar and contacts - it seems ridiculous that it's the worst offender for battery life and yet it still tells me when I get an email in the middle of the night!

Anyone know of a setting or an app that can control this?

wish i did, that'd be nice. once/day calendar sync would be plenty. you probably know how to turn syncing off? you could do this at night, but some sort of timer app that enabled/disabled syncing would be swell.

Go into the Gmail app on your G1.
Click Menu >>> Settings >>> Labels

From here you can set the number of days to sync as well as which labels to sync.

Oh, Hi. Looks like you've found the answer =)

[deserttopping]

aren't those settings for how many days of mail to sync, not how often to sync?

ARGH.....I do believe you are right. My apologies.

Menu/settings/data sync and uncheck Auto-Sync

Well, obviously, but that's a bit unsophisticated, isn't it...? Plus, I have a memory like a goldfish, so I'd still be woken up at 4am for an email notice or go for days without receiving any email because I forgot to turn it off/on...

I was hoping someone would tell me that 'Application X will do this for you'.

Ideally, we need an app with multiple profiles and a simple scheduler where you specify work day on/off settings and weekend settings. For the delux version you could specify the daily frequency for those people who only want their GMail/Calendar/Contacts synched daily/weekly etc.

Yeah, that's actually a feature I miss from my SE M600i - scheduling the times when push email was active. I guess that and being able to have multiple push email accounts.

There's an app on the market (can't remember name) that will turn the alerts off at night, not Locale.
