I have stock ROM and I use Roadsync for exchange mail.
Battery on my X8 can't last for a day with no much use.
is it possible it's because of exchange?
what would be a solution?
to set it to sync every 5 or 10 minutes instead of push?
And I have gmail set to sync with gmail app. does that drain battery a lot to?

Im using K9 email program for gmail account and Cox email account. If i have my phone on standby, I dont get any email notifications. Only time I get email is when i launch k9 and check email. Even if i set k9 to poll every minute, it still wont notify me. Gmail will work if I have sync on, but doesnt that drain battery, I shouldnt have to sync right...Gmail should push?
thanks
I have 3 gmail accounts in sync and i still get good battery life.
Running stock Nexus S with background data and auto-sync both checked in settings. I'm running the mail app not the gmail app and have 3 accounts setup on IMAP with 15 min sync. Weather/news widget also does not sync. I have it set to every 6 hours and when I just checked it said last update 18hr ago??
1. It does not sync in 15
2. When I manually sync each account it is way slow
3. Weather/news sync also slow
I think the phone has some confusion running wifi + 3G
Any suggestions?? Others with similar issues? I'm used to instant sync on IMAP on 2G!
not a single reply??
I don't use the mail app (Gmail app) but I've heard that not using push when using IMAP leads to the phone failing to sync and draining the battery really fast eventually. It happens when it tries to sync during one of the scheduled syncs and there's no service at the time or something, and then it goes fubar. Not sure if they've fixed this, but it was doing it on my friend's Nexus One until I changed it to push.
Anyway, is your battery noticeably bad for some strange reason? =)
good afternoon,
does anybody allready has an app for configurating the peak hours for receiving mail?? i got a pop3 account, a hotmail account, an exchange account and gmail account, but i can only set the interval at 1hr max, and that for 24hrs. offcourse i can manually disable the synchronisation, but i rather had a tool like on my win mob 6.5 where i can set peak hrs and off hrs where i can get the mail manually.
Sounds like a job for Tasker?
I use Touchdown
Hey! So I normally check my primary email account (Hotmail) for new emails every 30 minutes and that works fine but I kinda want to try out the "as items arrive" option in sync settings. When I set that my phone drains, I'd say, twice as fast as when I only have it set to 30 minutes. I thought push as opposed to fetch was supposed to save battery life..?
As a side note, I've got both my Facebook and Twitter apps' push notifications on and that makes no visible impact on my battery life, and they work fine! So why do emails drain the battery when push is enabled for them?
Thanks,
Florin
I would like to share a solution that worked for me.
Understand that this worked for me, I am not saying that this will work for you.
I was suffering from a huge battery drain, I noticed that it was coming from "Exchange Services" (I have an Exchange account on the default Email App, specifically an Outlook.com account). The Exchange services were keeping my phone awake all the time and using wifi/mobile data.
What I did was disable Tasks syncronization (I kept email, calendar and contacts synchronization active). Then I changed my syncronization interval from automatic (push) to manual, this did Exchange to stop any data activity, after this I changed back the syncronization interval to automatic (push) again.
So the problem I found is that Exchange services couldn't syncronize any Tasks, it was just trying... and trying... while this my phone was being awake, downloading a lot of data (almost 1MB per minute) and draining my battery (1% every 2~3minutes).
So if you're having battery drain and uses an Exchange account on your phone, you won't get hurt for trying this
