I still do not quite get the Samsung sync setting process and the setting up of this, with all the Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox etc....Seems like a battery drain.

However, i do want ideally my Google Calendar to be in sync..

What are most recommended settings?

thanks

Sync settings "frequency" are set individually in each app. You can toggle all syncing system-wide on & off via the buttons on the notification bar (pull down, you might have to scroll to the right to find it). You can also go into individual accounts in the "accounts" section of the settings menu, select an account and enable/disable sync from there.

Syncing shouldn't kill your battery unless you have a bunch of things syncing frequently. For example, I have an Exchange email account syncing instantly (push) throughout most of the day & it only makes up a small percentage of my battery use.
