Question about S4 auto sync

[Antstatic]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to the Samsung galaxy s4 after years of iPhone usage and I am absolutely over the moon with my new handset,

I do however have a small issue, when I go into settings all of my accounts say that auto sync is off but I can't seem to find a master sync setting to turn it on, as you can imagine this search has become incredibly frustrating and I was hoping someone may be able to send me I the right direction to turn this on?

Thanks I advance for your assistance

Is there a sync toggle on the notification drop down?

I imagine you've already solved your problem, but may in case you haven't... You don't control the on /off of sync in the accounts section like you used to. Just use two fingers to pull down the notification bar and the you will see sync as one of the buttons.

Omg thank you! I was looking all over for this, I just upgraded to an S3 and wasn't getting my emails until I saw this post. I actually just signed up for this site to thank you!

Thank you SO much!!! This has been aggravating me for the last week... I'm hoping that this will solve my text message notifications (or lack thereof) as well.

Thank you! I love my phone but that was driving me crazy too!

Kind of a facepalm moment, but I feel a lot better now

A huge thank you! Almost did a full factory restore to remedy this!

I had an issue with this too a few days ago (I take it it says Master Sync is off?).
Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Press the menu button > Select the option saying Auto Sync Data
In the Notification tray turn on sync

Awesome! Not a smart interface by android/GS4.
