    Just updated to 10.2, and am trying to log into my Gmail, but now it is requiring me to sync my calendar and contacts, wtf?!

    ALL I want from Google is the email, not to share my confidential client data with Google.

    Am I doing something wrong? How do I get my Gmail on my phone now without giving Google my contacts?

    You are not required to sync your contacts, I have a GMail and Google App account synced with my Z10 and I am not syncing my contact just email and calendar(by choice).

    After you sign in through the Google authentication page (which is where I'm guessing you are seeing something about "Bb10 is asking permission to mess with your email, contacts, calendar) it will let you select from three check boxes corresponding to email, calendar and contacts.

    MJackson, do you have 10.2? This is t a z10 issue (because I've had it the same as you for months), but it's the new 10.2.1 update.

    Well it used to, but now it just says that it is going to access it with no option to deselect. This is the same on both mine and my wife's Z10s after the update.

    It's requesting permission from google accounts, but after that step it lets you deselect two of the three (you need at least one selected).

    I am in the camp of not wanting to share contacts or calendar with google. I have 10.2.0.1767 and am not offered the choice of syncing (or not syncing) my google or yahoo email, contacts, and calendar.

    1) is this due to an old leak I'm running?
    2) is it safe to assume my calendar and contacts are not syncing?
