Had a WM device and could schedule activesync to push during peak and non-peak times? I do not want to see any email after business hours and then I want it to pick back up during business hours...
Are there any apps on the market that can do this?
No, Android doesn't allow programs to change settings in other programs, unless specifically designed to do so. The only other option is to make the phone silent during off peak times. I am working on a program for this, but in the mean time, check out silent time in the market, it does sortof what I am talking about.

On my TP2 using active sync I could tell it to not push mail after 5pm and not on the weekend. I am using the HTC sync and do not see any option like this. Is there a way to put the exchange push on my DINC on a schedule??
TIA...
I use the app timeriffic to stop notifications at night. That may be the only windows mobile feature i miss.

I wrote email scheduler for the WM, and wanted to port it to Android, but you can't access the email functions from another program. Kind of sucks.

I suggest just turning off notifications like dspero said.
Coming from Windows Mobile using activesync I used the peak and non-peak option for email. OS 2.1 did not have this option...but Froyo 2.2 does...however it does not always work correctly on the schedule.
I want to see work emails from 8-5p so after 5pm is non-peak and no mail is checked...however I still get mail after 5pm because it is still on the peak schedule. If I reboot my phone and then check the send/receive schedule it is on the correct schedule for MANUAL for after 5pm.
So it does not automatically switch and only rebooting fix the schedule. Is there a way to kill the mail app and bring it back up...but this still defeats the purpose of a schedule if I have to do that each day...
Any solutions..??
Anyone using the peak non-peak mail setting out there and seeing what I am seeing???
I use the peak and non peak check, but during the non peak I don't have it set to manual which I think may be your issue. I'll try it tomorrow and get back to you tho.

does anyone know if its possible to run juice defender and still have background sync work for gmail? or is it that you just end up with syncing 1 time out of every 15 minutes? I enabled gmail to use the data connection but i assume that would only be when gmail is actually open. so what happens now when gmail trys to sync, will it just fail?
I'm curious about this as well. I use K9-Mail as well as GMail. If my sync interval is set to 5 minutes, but Juice Defender only turns on data every 15 minutes, which one wins? I assume Juice Defender and that the apps will just silently fail to update and try again later. Is that right?
beats me, but I'm probably going to uninstall this, I don't mind turning off the data, but not to the extend that i'm neutering my 2010 phone to do it. I mean seriously, it can't just check for sync on applications and activate the 3g? and turn off when the thing has the screen closed except for syncing? I'd expect an app to work like this one does 10 years ago. the phone is smarter than the app attempting to control it.
Yes, the inboxes won't sync while data is off. So worst case scenario you have a 15 minute delay between getting emails. You can set it to a faster data sync time - like 5 minutes. But you might only be able to do that with the paid app - UltimateJuice - I'm not sure.
I don't think the phone can do what you're wanting to do because of the way push email works. Generally, and I could be wrong here, Gmail works like other push email systems in that it requires a constant data connection (Like IMAP Idle) to notify when a new email comes in. The sync'ing you're talking about is more like a pull than a push. The problem with pulling is that it is way more taxing on the battery since it's actively checking at certain intervals if there are new emails. And if juicedefender was set to turn on 3g whenever something tried to pull - firstly the service would use way more battery than it's saving since it would constantly poll to see if anything is requesting a data connection, secondly, data would almost always be on - defeating the purpose.

Actually yes. The free version allows you to specify which 1 app that can bypass the data blocking. The paid version let's you specify more. (click on the "Apps" button then "configure apps" in juice defender setup)
I have JD & UJ installed, i think i have it configured ok, I have it set so no data while screen is off but I still get gmail come thru when screen is off.
I have the schedule set to check every 2 hours, does this over rule the setting for no data while screen is off.
I wish there was an extensive guide provided with these types of apps

That's why JD just got uninstalled.
Grr, I want my Blackberry back. I could have everything ON and still get 3+ days between charges.
I use the free version and can confirm that it is at most a 15 minute delay between emails. Its not really a big deal. It is just as responsive.
I get about 50% more battery life with the default settings.
JD is easy to understand and setup. You guys need a guide?
And no, you can't have Gmail syncing automatically by setting that particular app to keep data connection active or you have basically just made juicedefender useless.
You set it up to prefer wifi, turn data off with the screen. You set the timer to allow data connection on whatever schedule you want, ie 5 minutes every 2 hours. Then you are done. Do you really need a guide written to explain this? Then your emails will come through during whatever window you set up, ie 5 minutes every 2 hours.

Isn't it funny people on a developers forum want a guide for one app......

I just have one JD question.. probably a dumb one..
I typically toggle my data manually. But I think I'd like to try letting JD do it's thing (turn data on for 2 minutes, twice per hour)..
So do I leave my manual toggle in the on, or off position? Their instructions are unclear (or I'm looking in the wrong place..)
In other words, if I have data manually toggled off, will JD override that and do it's thing?
Or do I have to leave data toggled on for JD to work?
I've been using this program for a bit now and really like it. One thing that bothers me though is I cannot find the option (if it even exists) to "Notify Once" when it gets a new email and then collect the rest of them silently until checked. This is a standard feature on the stock gmail app in both Android 2.1 and 2.2.
Getting notified of every email all night long is crazy.
Anyone know if this feature exists?
I use it, and dont think there is any such feature. i have mine set to poll every 30 minutes and load up to 500 e-mails. (this prevents it keep telling me I have new e-mail for the same message over and over)
I also use k-9. Its a great program, but I don't think it has that feature. It is open source, and they accept feature requests or patches, so you might consider checking out their page on googlecode.

My battery life has not been as good since I upgraded the ROM a few weeks ago. The biggest culprit seems to be the Android System and Android OS. Each of them typically use about 8-10% of the battery, so it's not uncommon for them to have used 20% of the battery combined.
In addition, Android System uploads a bunch of data. In a full day, Android system typically sends 3-5 MB and receives 400-900 KB.
Android OS (is this all apps combined??) has uploaded 500-1000 KB and receives 10-20 MB.
I've frozen the apps on the receommended list (except for a couple I use like the ATT code scanner). Use no social network stuff. I do have Exchange plus two Gmail accounts + 3 K9 email accounts setup.
I can't seem to manage any setting change to reduce the battery/data usage of these two.

I've done all those things except for (Settings > Data manager > Data Delivery > social apps > sync over wifi), which I did actually do a couple hours ago on one last run through the settings to make sure I hadn't missed anything before posting here.
What the heck is android system uploading? Is that motoblur backing things up? I have searched XDA and googled and while I have seen the question about Android System with large uploads, I have yet to see a solid answer as to what's going on.

I think it's constantly receiving contact numbers and contact photos and status' from facebook. no way to turn that off i dont think unless your rooted. i know anytime i call someone, their status and facebook pic is new and haven't seen it before almost every time.

I am rooted, and have frozen most of the apps on the recommended list.
I don't have facebook or twitter accounts setup. Only Exchange, Gmail and some K9 IMAP accounts.
using traffic monitor, i found that the calibrate compass service, which seems to be a whole suit of services sucks down a lot of data. its been using about 1gb data a month. which im sure is putting some strain on the battery.
Multiple email accounts will cause a great deal of data usage on their own. Especially an exchange account and a gmail account.
If you can, why not use the gmail account to send and receive all the email for the imap accounts. I do this with my business accounts and my personal email.
You also may be syncing your contacts and all with both the exchange and the gmail account which would cause extra data and would be a bit over kill.
