ActiveSync picked up an email from Exchange this evening at around 10pm. Naughty as off-peak is configured from 6pm until 9am in the morning. Not the worlds biggest bug
At least the crash with replog.exe appears to have been fixed!
Cheers, Rob.

Hi,
A frind has a Nokia 6630 that he uses to retrive email.
He can set it so that Monday to thursday it will check for new mail every hour, starting at 8pm, then finishing at 5pm. On friday it checks every 15 mins from 8 till 12. Then It will check a few times over the weekend.
I have my exec set to retieve every hour, but its a pain to keep turning retrieval off at night (or be woken at 3 am by spam!!!) and reativate it in the morning.
Are there any email retieval applications out there for the Exec (and Mini s for my brother)?
Thanks, Paul.
When I first got my 8125 I got about two days of normal use out of it before I had to recharge. I setup a IMAP email store and set it to check for emails every 10 minutes. My battery life now will only last me 24 hours before I have to recharge.
If I setup push email on my device will the battery life stay the same as checking my email via IMAP or will it get better/worse?
with my battery properly conditioned and using push via AKU2 and exchange 2003 SP2 I get around 3 days usage.
I've read that the MS solution also leaves a socket open to the mailserver.
The difference would then be the amount of data sent between the device and the server...so instead of an IMAP login and header listing (or worse, ssl imap), you do it once and stay connected and simply wait for it to come down the pipe. The radio and GPRS stays active, but not much else.

What exactly do you mean by properly conditioned?
I'm getting slightly less since I went to direct push. It's right around 2 days now where before I would go 2-3 days. Could be that I'm checking emails more often now too though.
Hi
I have read a lot of threads about short battery life, but so far none of those applied to me. I have recently purchased this great device, and normally it gives me 2 days of usage time with a fair amount of fiddling etc, and no activesync. Now the main purpose for this purchase was the Activesync feature, as I have an exchange server pushing me my mail. I have the following settings:
Exchange 2003 SP2 without SSL certs/encriptions
Active sync set to download mails upto 0.5KB and from all times, not only the last 3-5 days, etc.
Active sync is also set for immediate retrieval, which leaves the phone with a permanent GPRS connection. There are PEAK times set, from Monday through Friday between 8AM to 6PM. Off peak times it gets it at every 2nd hour.
My battery lasts 12-14 hours like this, and I dont touch the phone much, plus dont have more than 20 minutes talk time per day. Yesterday I arrived home at 10PM with a dead battery already. This is really bad that I cannot even make it through a single day.
An addition to this the phone gets really warm, but only at the very end of its battery-life, lets say from 30% to 0 it goes in less then an hour or 2, and warms up pretty badly.
I also have the BandSwitch utility keeping my phone on GPRS only, and killing idle connections that are non-used for over 2 minutes. This I guess only takes affect during off-peak hours, but even in those hours, when I check my phone I can see a GPRS connection on for like 20-30 minutes. So I guess Bandswitch doesnt always do a good job.
Any hints? This is really annoying,
Thanks a lot,
Ben
I've got a VZW Touch Pro running NFSFAN's rom. ActiveSync continuously drains my battery. I've set it to sync every 2 hours in peak times, and every 4 hours in non-peak times. However, it does not follow these rules at all. It continuously syncs. I have around 250 contacts on my account. I glanced at my phone today to find it syncing contact #5421. I have no clue why it's doing this. I can't get it to disconnect though, and it drains the battery from full to dead in just under 3 hours. Please help! To note, the server runs Exchange 2007.
I don't know if this issue could was present before the 2 most recent updates, but I have been experiencing it at least as long as they've been out. After some interval, usually > 8 hours after the phone has been booted, I notice that the back of the phone starts to get warm. When I turn it on, I notice that there's a data connection, and it seems to be constantly sending and receiving data.
After removing every non-stock app, a factory reset and replacing phone, I've come to the conclusion that the SyncManager service for email is doing SOMETHING that's causing the connection to continue running. This condition QUICKLY drains the battery, and causes the phone to overheat and stop charging while connected to the charger. The only way to stop this is to stop the service or reboot the phone. The service restarts when the email application is opened, but the problem happens again after so many hours.
I have 6 email accounts setup. Two are ActiveSync accounts (one Hotmail ActiveSync and the other is an Exchange 2007 server), and the other 4 are IMAP accounts. I've tried with both manual and interval syncing, and the problem still happens.
I'm a big fan of consolidation, so I'd prefer not to use multiple mail apps to check my mail and like the combined view of the stock client. But... this is a problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Or maybe if you're experiencing overheating while charging or rapid battery drain while supposedly idle consider this may be the reason.
Interesting that no one else has this issue.
Well, after some days of decent battery life and no problems with this, I plugged my phone in to charge last night and woke this morning to a too hot to touch phone, which I promptly checked and there was the open 3G data connection and pulled the battery (which was also very hot). The only variable over the past few days is that I left wifi active on the phone until last night.
I've the the same problem. i used exchange also. apparenty there have been some problems with android 1.6 and on with appointments recurring for more than a year. ended up moving my exchange calender to gmail and everything was all good. took me a few weeks to figure it out

I don't have an overheating issue, although I do have a big issue with the unconsolidated messaging solutions.
I didn't have a problem before the two updates either. the di7 and di8. this was the only remedy I have found. I know it sounds weird that appointments the recur for more than a year would be the culprit. I would give it a shot because it worked for me. just back everything up. I backed up my exchange calender to google calender and wiped out my exchange calender. give it a shot nothing to lose

I'll give that a shot. I don't THINK I have any recurring appts in my calendars, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some stray birthday's in there.
