Phone battery is constantly dying. The sync icon on the status bar with the time and connectivity icons. I've tried setting sync icons, I've tried deleting the calendar, my work email, even facebook, rebooted the phone after each. Nothing helps. The up time and the awake time are always the same. This is an issue that just cropped up about three weeks ago. I have since switched to a completely new phone, rooted and installed Liberation ROM. This was also happening with rooted stock Froyo on the old phone. This is KILLING me. Can anyone suggest a more in depth tool to find what's causing this?
Figured it out. Facebook was syncing the live feed... what the hell facebook?!
Fix: Settings>Accounts and Sync>Facebook> Uncheck sync Live Feed.

I just noticed a few days ago that GMail isn't syncing with my phone anymore. I send myself an email just to check and it never showed any notification untill I manually entered the application and updated. Of course, I'd ran this test before and it worked flawlessly. I really need this to work because I use my email a lot for work purposes.
I'm currently on CM-5.0.3.1, ERE36B. I don't really know what may have happened. Configuration to receive notifications apparently is ok. As far as I know the only thing that may have changed is the number of apps. Can there be some kind of interference between some app and GMail sync? Come on it's the Google Phone, if GMail can't work we've got a problem...
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Go into: Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Filter - ALL, find GMAIL and GMAIL Storage, clear data for both.
Solved! Thanks!
Hi !
Used to get these issues too on my HTC Magic (G2). Nothing wrong with my N1, but this morning, no sync (last sync seven hours ago...).
Turned everything down then restarted and it worked again.
Do you often get that? Is it a google-related issue ?
Hi there.
I have an X10a from Rogers, 2.1(official upgrade), rooted and ever since running the 2.1 update my email notification has been inconsistant at best. With the stock email program it worked sporadically. Sometimes it doesn't even sync... I open the app, load new messages and they appear. Sometimes it makes a sound and puts the indicator in the status bar but no flashing led and sometimes everything works.
I tried K9 and that seemed to work but no led, so I loaded Maildroid and everything was fine for a while but now even that is sporadic.
I currently have my stock email notifications disabled, gmail sync enabled, maildroid sync enabled, wake up ever 15 mins in sleep to check email and still it only works sometimes.
I would prefer just using the stock email client as it seemed nicer on battery useage. Is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it easily? I almost tried it with Titanium backup but the warning that i might need to reflash scared me off doing it.
Any thoughts?
Same thing i noticed with mine , Email is really bad after the update , can know for sure when i get a new Email
using the gmail app and no problems at all
i have 3 other email accounts all forwarded to my gmail
This is two forums and no one has been able to suggest anything to fix it. I think i'll just go back to the stock email client and live with it... checking manually whenever I remember.
This would be my one major complaint about the 2.1 upgrade...aside from it I'm pleased with the rest.
I use shangmail.it works great.

I can try it. Does it light up the LED with the notification?
Re: my issue, i've noticed that it definitely seems that it's the syncing that's not happening moreso than the notification. I can send an email and until I open my client and load more messages, it won't appear where in the past it would pull down the email, notify me and then when I checked it was already there.
Okay...so I reflashed 2.1 on the phone last night. Immediately after the flash everthing was working fine. Then I rooted, installed Titanium backup and started to restore my apps and data... one at a time instead of the batch. At some point it stopped working again even though I didn't install 100% of the things I had on before.
Then briefly I uninstalled Super Security Standard and it started working again...but that didn't last.
I suppose it must be something i've installed, but it's really frustrating that the behavior isn't consistant. Aside from reflashing and then testing after restoring each app, I don't know what I can do.
It's definitely a syncing issue, not a notification issue. Installed a couple of free gmail notifiers and they don't work because the emails aren't sync'd until i go into the email client and manually load new mail.
What could be blocking the gmail sync?
Okay..some more searching has revealed a workaround. I cleared the cache for Gmail app and Gmail storage, rebooted and added the power control widget and cycled the sync button.
Now I can get email notifications when I cycle the sync...but only then. In the thread I found doing this once seemed to 'unstick' the sync, but that's not happening with me.
What sorts of things can 'hang' the sync? I'm still guessing some apps i've installed...
My calendar has started being a real pain in the backside today. I was reading a few topics on the calendar and after checking my battery usage daily I thought my calendar had started using a lot more battery than it used to (used to be around 5-8% on a full charge, recently its been 15-20%).
So I wasn't able to find any fix in the other threads and someone suggested clearing the data from the app manager which I did. The problem now is that my calendar is messed up. I only use it for birthdays linked via facebook and holidays. It is showing the holidays fine but it is no longer showing birthdays. It shows some (3 to be exact) however there used to be waaaaay more as it showed all my facebook contacts birthdays. The 3 people that it is showing seem to just be random and it says they've been linked from facebook.
The good news is that my calendar battery usage is back down to below 5%, but maybe that's because it isnt even working as it should.
Anyone have any suggestions. I really don't want to do a factory reset. It took me about 3-4 hours to sort out my contacts and link them all correctly so doing that again would drive me mad (unless there is some way I can do a backup which includes the contact links?)
Sorry, I can't help you but HTC clearly has issues with Google Calendar. My calendar eats battery and often sits at the "Loading" screen. I see lots of issues on the forum, and few solutions. Time HTC fixed it.
Hi,
Yeah its a known issue. I have the same problem. I e-mailed HTC about is last week and they replied saying that they know about it and should be fixed in an update soon.

Hello!
I tried the clear-data for the calendar and the battery consumption has dropped to normal levels again.
Thing is my Facebook birthdays are not showing up anymore (at least most of them...).
Also, I would like to ask another thing.
Is there a way for the calendar to display birthdays for people that you don't have as friends in facebook but you have their birthdays stored in your phone contact list??
And one final question. If you go to Google calendar online (from a PC) there is an option to have your favorite teams' schedules on your calendar. Is there a way for these schedules to appear on your phone calendar as well?
Thanks!

I have the exact same facebook birthday issue because I did the exact same clear data thing. Battery consumption from the calendar has disappeared thankfully but now the facebook birthdays don't appear.
I eventually gave up and left it. Day by day the facebook birthdays have been appearing strangely. Initially only 2 friends birthdays were appearing after clearing the calendar data, then the next day there were about 4, then the next day a few more and its gradually populating the calendar. There are still some missing but I'm hoping they will appear soon as everyday there seems to be some more added.
It is very strange but give it a few days and see if it starts populating.
Same here. Cleared the calendar data and it has resulted in similar effects (improved battery, weird calendar). I'm surprised that such basic functionality (HTC syncing with Google calendar using a Google OS) has caused such problems.
Oh, any syncing my favourite team (the one and only Glasgow Celtic) would be nice. Any ideas? I have Celtic's fixtures in Google Calendar on a PC but they don't appear in my syncs.
Hello. I am using ki8 and siyah kernel. I am getting insane levels id wake lock due to calendar. I believe it is the same as an old aosp bug. Can some one direct me further on what to do next, I don't think deleting calendar sync is an option.
Yeah. 40% over 10 hours is good worth that usage..except I wasn't using the phone except at the beginning.
Thank you

Just had one of these yesterday running villainrom 3
It happened because I had locked the screen in the middle of setting a calendar event without saving or cancelling. I guess it got stuck in awake and killed my bat as well.
Exited and it's been fine so far.
I have that wakelock also. It's really bad when I have busy schedule. I notice it has something to do with reminder alarm. If no reminder alarm set for an appointment, it seems fine though. Any one else having this wakelock? This wakelock really drain battery.
p.s. I have seen this thread but that is more about identifying the issue. now we have I think it is worth seeing if this is a ki8 only issue, or ki3 or (2.3.5) our ki4 (2.3.4)

So to isolate and confirm what other people have said...
First I tried different calendar alert settings. No difference.
I have now reset my calendar data and re-synced. I will update tomorrow if phone refuses to sleep after first calendar alert.
If that fails I shall remove first built-in calendar; and then google calendar from calendar app.
Finally if that fails I will try uninstalling Samsung apps one by one. (I always did SNS and hub apps. I never turned dive on)
Read the discussion in this thread (posted earlier) where a couple of us discuss what is going on with Calendar. However in my case, I don't use Calendar much so I simply uninstalled it with Titanium Backup. Now I don't get any more wakelocks but I also don't have a calendar, so it's up to you.

shutting down services selectively didn't seem a solution to me. I can say that wiping data for the three calendar apps and re syncing helped,. I had zero wake locks today inspite of a massive schedule that meant I couldn't even dismiss the events this afternoon except once I needed to make a call.
I wonder if calendar didn't like google assisted upgrade.
I shall monitor that.

Well I think that cracked it. Turn off calendar sync.
Wipe calendar data and re-enable calendar sync.
I cannot remember which forum I read that but kudos to that one and shame not more people tried it.
I was getting wakelocks as well with the calendar so i froze it in Titanium and i use Calandar One and no wakelocks (and it's much better than the stock one too)
Hey guys, I have been having a problem with Google Sync for some time now and wondered if anyone else
has the same problem. For me the auto-sync no longer works for any of the Google services, most noticeably gmail. On my old DHD and the N4 when I just got it, emails would appear on my device almost instantaneously after being sent no matter if I was on 3G or Wi-Fi or if phone was asleep. For last couple months the phone would sync emails about 1nce a day and since I need to know when new emails arrive, I'm forced to force sync from either Google sync in settings, or by clicking refresh from GMail itself.
I googled this issue many times and there seems to be a lot of people with the same problems and many different suggestions, I tried the ones listed below, but nothing works and if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know!
I have 3 Gmail accounts and my auto sync is turned on from both the quick toggles in notification bar, the power widget (don't use it just wanted to see if it would help) and from data usage settings. I'm running AOKP ROM milestone 1 but this problem as far as I remember happened on other ROMs too. I also do not have any power saving apps installed. I also have about 1GB of free memory. I also disabled browser sync under someone's advice.
Doing a clean flash of a ROM does help for couple of days, maybe a week, but then always the same thing happens. Clearing app data for Google apps might work, but I'm not sure if it will last and prefer a more permanent solution.
So does anyone have similar problem and/or knows a fix?
