[Q] Account sync keeps turning off? SOLVED - USER ERROR

---

I keep noticing that under accounts, my google account sync options keep turning up on the "off" setting. Meaning I miss gmails, etc. which are normally push notified.

I am pretty sure I've turned it "on" several times already.

Anyone else?

Are you sure you don't use apps like Tasker, or Phone Weaver? You might have told such an app to kill sync.

Nope. None of the above!

I'm wondering if the phone loses connectivity, ICS shuts off account sync. But then connectivity is re-established, maybe it doesn't turn on? Or, not immediately at least.

HAHAHAHA. Wow. Just figured it out.

On the power widget, I thought the circular arrows were for auto-rotate. Which I wanted off.

They are for SYNC.

So yes, sync was randomly turning itself off. Because I turned it off manually.

LOL!
We learn every day! :P

Thanks! I was wondering why it was doing that on my Nexus 7. In the wi-fi section theres something called a WPS Push button and when i was looking at my shortcuts and saw the sync arrow on I mistook it for the WPS thing and kept pushing it off and then wondering why sync kept going off. Feel silly now.
