How come there is no ability to check email in ultra power saving mode, even though things like twitter and Facebook are included? Seems crazy to me! Anyway to add the email or gmail app to ultra power saving (without root)?
Anyone have a clue? I really need email in ultra power saving. Much more than I need twitter or Facebook.

Hi guys,
I noticed that my hotmail and corporate accounts were really slow... so I had a fiddle with the options and have found the below 'fix'.
Open an email in your non-gmail account. Press the menu button, display mode and change to 'original'.
It appears that the lag associated with opening these types of emails is due to the app changing the colour etc of the email. Without this processing mine became very quick.

Good tip. Now if I can remember that when I'm able to get this phone, I'll be happy.
Seem to have narrowed this problem down to power saving mode. At times Gmail seems to stop sending push notifications of new emails in the backgroind and Facebook will not update the home feed at all when opening it and forcing refresh (just says can't connect right now). This is all temporarily fixed by disconnecting then reconnect the data connection... Very annoying, anyone else have this issue? I know power saving mode is supposed to turn off background data but when the app is in the foreground it should be useable lol...

I am having the exact same issue, went to the carrier and they blamed Samsung. We uninstalled Gmail, reinstalled, updated it and then reconfigured my email accounts still nothing. It is doing the same for a regular email account and Facebook. You have to kill/close all apps and restart gmail and FB to get messages to refresh.
Quicker workaround is to have the app (either fb/Gmail) open and disable then re-enable your internet connection.
You'll soon notice it starts affecting other apps as well.
We really shouldn't need to be doing this for a phone this expensive. Will try contacting Samsung
It must be a software issue with power save mode messing up the apps connection to data. I'm just surprised no one else is having the same issue
I am also having this issue with Facebook, Messanger and other apps just hanging with no connection! Seems to be related to power save mode which blocks background data.
On my htc one m8, I had problems with gmail not getting push notifications only after upgrading to marshmallow. Switched to the outlook app and didn't have that problem. I'm doing the same thing on my s7. Seems like some apps are "dozed" more aggressively than others in marshmallow...

Power saving mode in marshmallow for Samsung devices disables background data, if you long press the power save button it shows that it does so, you need to have power save disabled to sync stuff.

Not just talking about syncing I'm talking about opening an app (e.g. Facebook) in the foreground and it no longer functions because it somehow lost connection to data. Manually refreshing your timeline is not considered background data or syncing
I had this issue and I called up SAMSUNG+ Exclusive support and they were able to help me with steps to get my facebook App works in powersaving mode. All you have to do is Setting---> Application--> Application Manager --> select Facebook--->select Storage --> press Clear Cache.
This solved my issue in my Verizon s7 edge.

Hi,
Recently updated to Android 6.0.1 on my Note 4 and everything was working fine until I noticed that Power Saving Mode now disables email sync by default with no way of re-enabling it. This is an issue for me as I need to receive emails on the go whenever I I travel. I have tried all I can to re-enable sync while on Power saving mode but with no success. So basically to receive mail i have to disable Power Saving mode, which again will drain my battery faster.
Any ideas, pointers, solutions on how I can enable sync for the email native app (and others) on Marshmellow would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
That's true. In lollipop we had the option to disable or not background syncing, but in marshmallow there's no such option and background syncing is always disabled in power saving mode.
Same happens to grayscale mode which also disappeared from saving mode options, now it's just available in ultra power saving mode.
So in that case is there a work around? Just need sync for native email app.
Thanks

When I contacted Samsung NZ about this, they stated "Note 4 software update is in development phase. We couldn't reproduce the issue you are experiencing. We have listed the steps to factory reset your device. If you have issues after a factory reset, do not hesistate to contact us again."

Well thats helpful Samsung......would rather rollback to Lollipop. Will continue looking for a work around.
thanks.
If you look in /system/csc for "feature.xml" and "others.xml" there is a feature that codes which programs to keep active in power saving modE. Email may be a disabled app. I dont have the uodate, so I am not sure if you can change this in settings. Ill post the exact line later from home, but you can edit with root explorer and save and reboot.
Well actually you can
Go to settings>battery>battery usage>three dots at top right corner>optimize battery usage>choose all apps and disable whatever you want
Update: Issue resolved after update fix pushed out by Samsung. Now the "restrict background data" is available for Email, Messages, Music etc. Thanks for all your help.

I know that Facebook for Android isn't the best app from Google play, but I have a very active Facebook page and I need to recieve notifications all the time. The problem is, Facebook and messenger take up 0.5gb of ram just for being idle and I really don't like that.
I have tried using metal for Facebook and Twitter but it seems like I can't recieve any notifications - I have the auto refresh set to 5 mins but nothing happens.
Do you think Facebook and messenger on s7 is a problem like on other Android phones and I need to find an alternative or I should just keep them there if I need them?
I've had many issues with facebook app and finally after draining my battery 60% over night I uninstalled it.
mybe you have battery saver options set to disable facebook.
I configured my fb account to send me mails if there are some messages or events.

Facebook and messenger eat a lot of resources in some users, including me. So, you can use MaterialF-book. little app with little ram usage
Hey, so im an heavy user of Instagram and Telegram, i have many accounts within Instagram i manage and im using an Parallel App that enable me to have 2 Instagram accounts, Also im using an Telegram modded app with many accounts.
Those things DRAIN my battery, even when my phone is locked i lose 15% for 8 hours of not touching my phone.
Is there anyhow to make the battery better? I saw some awesome results for some of you.
Like disable Bixby, Any Instagram/Facebook Modded app that requires less battery or so?
Thanks!
Put the app to sleep mode and restrict background data.
Facebook is a big drain but I only lose about 2% ON Standby in 5 hours. I can also use Facebook for about 5 hours straight and still get 9 to 10 hours Screen on time.
Nearly all my apps are in sleep mode and restricted background data. Apart from Google, Gmail, Calendar and those that won't let me change the settings.
You probably gave Instagram and Telegram permission to ignore battery optimization when you installed the apps so they can provide instant notifications but Instagram, Telegram, and dating apps that provide instant notifications need to always be running in the background to do it and keep your phone from ever going to sleep--even when you aren't using it.
If those apps are excluded from battery optimization you need to choose whether instant notifications or battery life are more important to you.
