How to turn off push for gmail accounts - Atrix 4G General

I would like to change to for example 'every 15mins'. The 3 accounts all being pushed is taking its toll on my battery.

Ehhh... the whole idea of "push" is that new emails are pushed from the server. As opposed to your phone "pulling" them from said server. So no, you cannot. Even switching off sync will not impact your receiving emails on gmail.
However, there are apps out there (search for it) that will enable your data connection and/or sync function periodically. This one you can set for 15 mins, 1 hour, or whatever the app offers and you want.

I'm pretty sure if you disable gmail sync you don't get emails anymore through the stock gmail app at least.

Actually, you can switch off push, IF you start using the moto blur corporate email. Lookup the settings for active sync, it uses the microsoft exchange method for email access, and also syncs calendar and contacts. Once setup, open the account through messages, and turn off push. I did this, and my battery life tripled.

3rd party email problem

Hey everyon, so through my email app I hve my hotmail account syncing up to it. The problem I have is that when I receive an email and delete it from my phone, it does not delete it from my email account. I only check my email by computer every couple of days so its a PITA to delete a couple hundred emails when I do get on a computer. Does anyone else experience this and if so is there a work around or a free app that will sync my email and delete them from the server as well as my phone

Probably because I've had the email account for years before I had the phone, hell i'vehad th account before there was gmail. I understand that it is a google phone and that Gmail works better with thr phone but With over 200 email contacts I can't just drop my hotmail account.

First off, I don't have experience with your senarion.
That said, have you checked any settings on the phones email app nd hotmail for this problem? Also, do the emails that don't get deleted appear read? Or they unread?

If you go into the email app, then 'Settings->Incoming server settings->Delete email from server', you can change it from 'Never' to 'When I delete from Inbox', although I have had mixed results with this actually working on my Hotmail account. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

I am using the email client that came with the note, if you configure your email using imap, or lucky enough to have exchange then push will work, if you do pop3 then push won't work. I bought Kaiten which is the paid version of K9 pop3 is still timed and not pushed.

If you have Exchange then it will push...
Yes the native client supports servers that will do push (ie exchange).
Incidentally the mail client "Touchdown" ****s all over the native client (yes is does cost approx $20, I reckon its worth it.)

Just install the official Microsoft: Hotmail + Seven from the Play Store, free and configure it to push.
I always thought Gmail was push
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
it is.
Push on the native email client works but has this flaw: it will disable push when it is unable to connect to server. You need to manually load the app again to re-enable push.
This disabling might happen when travelling in train when you loose network momentarily, or when leaving one WLAN and connecting with another after a few minutes.

Ah...i use to wonder why sometime push is working and sometime not...i thought somewhere related to data connection but couldn't get the exact pattern. Thanks, This will surely help.
Any idea why I'm not able to see embedded images on native email client with exchange setup? It's showing only as attached files and image itself on email has little blue question mark

Ok thanks guys. Can you post me the steps to set up and hotmail account with push? I remember that i had my hotmail with push on SGS somehow. I just can't find the tutorial anymore.
I think you need to set the hotmail server to m.hotmail.com to get push to work.

Issue with email sync

Hi. I have email accounts. In settings under accounts both email accounts say sync is off. Yet when I go deeper into the accounts it shows I have them checking for email every half hour. So I have been manually checking them. Any idea how to turn the sync back on. It is quite annoying.
Thanks

Sounds like sync is off either on the accounts or globally... if you can't change it on the accounts try going to mobile data, options, sync... that can get turned off too...

Exchange Service wakelock killing my battery

Hi, I moved from a Galaxy Nexus 2 weeks ago.
I'm running the lastest CM 10.1 Nightly and Franco Kernel.
Like I week ago I noticed a very high wakelock caused by "Exchange Service". I'm using my Hotmail account configured as Exchange with the stock email android App.
I didn't have that wakelock before with my SGN or the first week using my N4.
I don't know what to do, I have tried deleting the account and setting the update interval to 1 hour.
Any ideas?
This is making me crazy

Check this out:
It goes to deep sleep, but there are some wakelocks made by:
Calendar, Exchange and Gtalk (Which is strange as I have it frozen using TIBU).

This is what happens when people have too much information at their finger tips.
I see 3mins and 6 mins of wakelocks there in 10hrs? How is that "killing" your battery?

I understand your point..
Sorry but I still think there is something wrong.
494 wakelock ? With push email off? It was supposed to check the email each 2 hours. No contact and calendar sync.. OK all the wakelocks were "only" 12 minutes... I had it configured in the same way with my gnex and never had this problem.
Thanks.

I understand your point.. But I was sure that before (using my gnexus and the first week using my n4) I had the same configuration and I wasn't getting these wake locks. Remember push it's not active ! And gmail (sync is on) and whatsapp are running all the time and they don't generate almost any wakelocks...

I have a GS4 and have experienced the same issue, the exchange server seems that is always on and draining the battery, i have played around with the settings (unchecked the sync options) but still no way to turn it down
There is something strange
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Sorry guys but I think there must be something wrong here.
It's only syncing one account and the refresh rate is set to 1h!!! I get barely 10 emails daily and don't reply them.
It looks like there is a mistake in the configuration of exchange and it ends in a loop.
Plus I don't even use the calendar, I have like 10 entries in all the year!! It doesn't make sense.
I use whatsapp 10 times more than email and calendar combined and I don't see it generating so mane wake locks.

Same problem here. I have my work Outlook exchange server setup. I have sync set to NEVER so I have to open the app manually to get new emails....I still have 30+ minutes of exchange services wakelocks.
What is going on? This never used to be an issue

I noticed the same with my email app setup for my hotmail account, installed the outlook app and it was just as bad. Even with sync off there was a very high number of wakelocks. I now forward mt hotmail to gmail instead.

I was thinking of doing that. Forwarding all my emails to my gmail account. This is a serious problem. As you say we get wakelocks (a lot of them) even with hot mail sync off!! Wtf

I was able of removing the wakelock doing the following:
Using titanium backup made "exchange services" a user app.
Added to greenify
BUT the only problem is that now I have to open the email app to get my emails.. Trying to avoid this with tasker but tasker doesn't work with processes like exchange service.
Battery life has improved!!

It's not just you
It's not just you. Something is definitely wrong.
I have had this problem since ICS 4.0 on my Nexus S.
I've tried stock and am now running CM 10.1. This morning my stock battery stats show 3h 17m on battery and Exchange Services with 1h 5m of "Keep awake". Battery is down to 58%. That makes the battery life about 6 hours. Yesterday, I got 14.
This problem goes away every time I flash a ROM update, but will always recur after a few weeks. If I disable sync, everything is fine. It doesn't seem to matter whether the Exchange Sync setting are set to Email, Calender, or Contacts. It also doesn't seem to matter how often sync is set for: push, 30 min, 1 hour, or 3 hours -- the problem still persists unless sync is off in the OS.
I would love suggestions on what to do.

Auto sync question.

Does turning off syncing under your Google account stop syncing from occurring completely? Or will it still sync when I run the application itself etc. Would like to turn auto syncing off yet still be able to sync.

You'll still be able to sync. Just turn auto sync off and for example, open the Gmail app. There's a refresh button at the top if you want to sync.

You'll also have to keep in mind that most email accts added to the native email app will be able to sync when you choose to, but an Exchange server acct might not be happy.
