To Sync... Or NOT to Sync...

[Joeybear23]

So, we are all well aware that synchronizing accounts, calendars, etc, can really drain the battery.
Since I am using push (MS Exchange) accounts for email is it really necessary to sync calendars and contacts throughout the day?
I am thinking that once or twice a day would probably be sufficient for calendar and contacts.

The reason I ask is because I did a factory reset today, restored everything using Titanium Backup (Awesome Tool, I must say) and by default my sync was turned off all morning, but I still received all my emails. I went to turn back on the sync and saw that for the Exchange accounts, I only had options to sync calendar and contacts.

What say you guys?

If you use your calendar, then you should leave sync on. Updates can be made that don't come with an email - so if you want the calendar to get the updates you need to sync.

There is no email sync setting where calendar and contacts are listed. You need to go into the account settings and turn off PUSH under advanced settings - also there is peak and off peak scheduling options for push.

I sync Exchange, Gmail and have POP3 accounts set to poll hourly.
