How the HECK do you set email to every few hours instead of push w/o extra apps? Where i assume you would click on it, it's greyed out and can't be changed

MAXX.edu

I think my email is set for manual or every four hours. I don't use the stock email app but I can't imagine that you can't set it to grab your email at longer intervals. I actually prefer to get my email when I feel like taking the time to weed through it. So far I have not had any emergency situations where it required me to find out via email... not from my kids, my employees, my family or my friends.

It has to exist somewhere, i just can't find it lol. I can turn sync off on all my accounts under "my accounts" but i just can't find the option to change the time intervals ;(

ICS MELTED my battery life

I'm guessing here but try long pressing on the email account and see if it brings up settings... or see if menu gives you settings and then see if it has a list of each email where you can set up each email account preferences.

Does anyone know if lowering or disabling the window and screen animations helps save battery? I assume it would but probably not a noticeable amount.

Thanks. Didn't think it really would but I had to ask.

Try a home screen replacement/launcher app like NOVA, Go Launcher, etc.

They tend to provide many more features than stock.

Just tried nova and it looks pretty slick, exactly that i was looking for, thankz, zom

 

[add119]

You can try trebucket.apk or apex launcher

I also looked at Nova, and it is a nice launcher, but still not my style. I'll use the stock ICS launcher until I find one.

Still no update......

So I have a droid razr maxx and still have nto received the ice cream sandwich update. I have even tried going to Settings --> About Phone --> System updates and it either just sits there thinking or immediately says updates are not available at this time, try again later. I have 4G coverage (although somewhat intermittent) where I live, what can I do to get this update? I feel like I have been waiting for months

:angry:

I had a friend that did not get the update and he called Verizon and they pushed the update to his phone. He said that he had to call 3 times before some one would help him. So if the first person says that they can not do anything to help you keep calling back until someone does help you

The screen drains the battery so much now. Also this automatically adjust screen brightness is way too dark. I have yet to find a widget capable of adjusting the screen brightness since the ICS update. The screen brightness will not change with every widget I have downloaded from the Play Store.

Widgetsoid works for me. I created a widget that toggles screen brightness between 25/50/100/Auto.
