Sync Setup: what do you have configured?

[jlm86]

Always wanted to see what everyone has setup on their
sync schedule, if any at all..

Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, Skydrive...

I know this is big battery drain also, and have always pretty much had it
turned off.
thanks

Gmail - push
Everything else - manual.

I also turn data and wi-fi off using toggles on my homescreen unless I want them on. Bluetooth is also always off.

My phone is an International unbranded running 4.1.2 and my battery drain when the phone is not in use is 0.2% per hour, giving me a theoretical stand-by time of 500 hours or 20 days. I'm pleased to know that all other battery drain will be because I am actually doing something with the phone.

I discovered a really useful battery monitoring app which measures time intervals between every 1% drop in the battery. Prior to installing it, I was struggling to work out my stand-by battery drain. Here's a link:

That's impressive standby time
I'm struggling with standby time since the 4.1.2 update and I'm still trying to figure out why by checking BBS and Gsam. Kernel appears to be causing keep awakes and wakelocks, with various kworkers, loop and migration as the culprits.

Anyway... back on topic - A question regarding apps syncing, for arguments sake I will use facebook as an example;
If I set contacts to 'dont sync', refresh interval to 'never', and turn notifications off, the Facebook app will still use a relatively high percentage of my battery even when I don't use the app at all. Why would that be? The same happens with other apps that I have set to not to sync and only sync when I open them such as flipboard, BBC news etc. I have ended them in active applications. So is there another way (that I'm overlooking) to change the sync settings other than within the apps themselves?

I need the master sync turned on for my work calendar.
