Hey guys I was just wondering does anyone know of a good email app for the note 3 with a nice looking Ui, that doesn't drain the battery like crap? I probably check my emails once a day. At the moment I'm using an app called evomail which has got probably the best Ui I've ever seen rivaled to ios, however it only supports push notifications so it kills my battery crazily fast?

K-9 Mail, as well as having the best functionality of any email client that I have found, has also had a recent UI makeover.
You can tell the mail clients to not push. I just use Gmail and set to pull every 30 mins.

I get tired of the battery life and phone running hot, so this afternoon I froze gmail and yahoo mail apps that I use and use sgs2's email.
Just notice that I can set the sync time, set mine every 4 hours.
Battery drains slower now and the phone runs cooler. The gmail and ymail apps wouldn't let you adjust the sync timing so the phone is constantly connecting thus per battery and heat.

anyway, for gmail the connection is not always on

I think for gmail and yahoo apps, connection its always on.especially yahoo..and the is no easy to set the sync timing.
With native email client you can set sync timing.

The gmail app uses push email which is 'always-on' but doesn't actually sync unless you receive an email. Therefore, battery usage is more dependent on how often you receive email rather than the fact that is is 'always on'
See: h t t p://w w w.pushemail.co.uk/
for an overview of how push email works.
My phone runs cooler without push mail, no master what the theory is. Sync every hour.

No matter which app I use for my mail, gmail or the stock android one, the notifications are just not consistent.
Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't but my phone always tells me I have an email so I know its just the nexus 7 that's being funny.
I have checked settings for syncing and everything is on so does anyone know why?
Thanks.

WiFi connection good? Is your WiFi icon grey or blue?
Sent from my Nexus 7
Sounds stupid but you got push enabled haven't you? I made that mistake, or perhaps try the awake time of the app I once had mine set to push through the night and not be awake during the day
WiFi connection is perfect and I do have things set to push.

Hey guys, sometimes Whatsapp messages show up late. (ive noticed this happens only when screen off)
For example, when I unlock phone, after several minutes I get the Whatsapp notification, I go in, but message shows it was recieved 5-10-15 minutes ago.. Sometimes the clock shows when I want to reply..
No problems with screen on.
Any clue? Sync is on

It happens in both, wifi or Mobile data.. So service provider is dismissed..
I think there must be a config

Most of the time this is because the Servers cant handle the amount of messages being send via WhatsApp. So there is nothing you can really do about it.

This never happened with my s2, which I had until Saturday.. that's why I think is something with the N4 config
I noticed this past Saturday problems sending and receiving messages via Whatsapp, on both iPhone and Nexus 4, but not via stock MMS apps. So it appears that there was an issue on Whatsapp side.
I'm noticing the same thing on my nexus 4 and I'm pretty sure it's not caused by traffic load on the whatsapp servers. On my GSII, messages came through straight away when the phone was sleeping.
On my nexus 4, if the screen is off, messages don't come through until I turn the screen on.
It seems to me that Android 4.2 handles wakelocks differently to ensure the device sleeps without interruption. That's great for battery life, but seems to impairing the ability to receive IMs.

Exactly... It's annoying, since whatsapp is not catalogued as a battery drain or similar..

in any case big improvement
I was just curious if you use Google Now or turn it off.

Use it. What's the point of having a smartphone if you turn all of its features off?
Besides, the battery drain isn't too bad with GNow (Siri is definitely worse XD)

It drains your battery quick!
All the time, but not for looking things up. I use it to set alarms and call people.

Not true. Last Friday I accidentally left my phone in my office, and it stayed there for the entire weekend with wifi on and connected to the internet. When I went back to work on Monday, it still had 4% battery left. That's a standby time of 63.5 hrs (I left office at 5.30 and returned at 9). In addition, my office is in a rural area, so cellphone signal strength is horrendous.
Google Now is awesome, I use it all the time! Also due to the nature of the app, you don't even have to remember to use it, it does things for you,
I disable google's anti-privacy features (I disable search history and don't log in to the web browser on my phone). So it does me absolutely no good because it can't predict what's going on in my life. Flight reservations aren't even delivered to my gmail inbox. (They go somewhere dedicated so I know which companies let spammers get my e-mail address. I'm looking at you, Dropbox!)
Google Now can't even correctly predict what time I leave work, and transit time rarely varies where I live. It short, it's neat but absolutely useless as far as I can tell. I'm disabling it right now. Maybe I'll turn it on again while traveling, but it didn't really help me at all while traveling--just showed me things I already had a better app for, like the current time back home.
Well I'm normally leave mine on but I believe I'm going to turn it off and see how well it does for a day or 2.

I've noticed that chrome uses a lot more battery to do basic things. Whenever I do something in Chrome and then do it in the other browser, Chrome is always using more battery. I just charged my phone and tried checking my bank accounts on both browsers. Chrome used 9% and stock used 2%. I like the interface of chrome better but it's too bad smart scroll doesn't work for it yet

You could try turning off tilt scrolling under settings development in chrome.

How long are you banking? I would have my screen show more time then browser no matter where I go. Sounds like something is odd with your install

It's always been like that. When I had the Note 2 I always used the stock browser because battery life was better, plus it had the thumb controls. No other browser is as efficient as the stock one from my testing.

I guess I'll just stick with the stock browser for now.
