Can't find settings for google auto sync on/off

[SimonDK]

Hi

Noticed that phone wasn't up to date on the info in my google calender, emails, Drive etc.

Found this option in Settings > Accounts / Google, and as you can see I find no option for switching sync on automatically.... There used to be... before JB update. Why? Is the option somewhere else? TIA.

Found it - wow that was not very intuitive!

Normally a firm believer in "google it damn!", but for some reason didn't do it at first.

Well, it turns out you first have to enable the general option in a very different place: Data Usage>Menu>Auto-Sync Data, THEN you can select the individual accounts and apps as above...
