Take the 2-minute tour ×  I think the term is: how do I pull not
push? I don't want the phone constantly checking for FB, new
email, etc. every 30 seconds. But I cannot work out how to:
1. Limit this to once every hour or less   2. Stop it so that I
can refresh when I want to know (and it doesn't keep doing it in
the background)  Please advise.  share|improve this question add
comment  4 Answers  As well as the other answers, you can change
the frequency that some accounts sync by going to Settings ->
Accounts and sync. For instance, when I click on my Facebook
account from there I can change the "Social networking sync
interval" to none, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or once per day.
