Exchange data services over 400mb in 3 days

This morning i got a data warning. In 3 days exchange services used over 400 mb of data, of which about 300 in the past night. I disabled the service right away, but what the hell???
Does anyone know why it does this, I did not change my settings in any way...
Have been having trouble with battery performance for half a week though, doesn't last more than 8 hrs...

I have the same problem. I'm running stock room with root.

I've also had the same problem. Played about with exchange settings but not made much difference. Had 300+mb in one night data usage and it's been eating up the battery. I'm running Cyanogen Mod 9 Alpha 16.

Exchange service requires a lot of overhead, also every time it polls for new messages it will verify lots of other info like updating global address book. It usually polls once every 60 seconds, as such massive data usage.
As for battery issues that is one of the primary reason that Google has halted deployed of ICS. Also the Nexus S has a hardware issue that prevents it from charging past 95-97% without the WAP active.

The 95% battery charge is not a hardware issue, its designed to do so. The out come of it is a longer life for the battery itself.

The inbuilt exchange client has always been a massive battery eater for me. Same on GB and now the same thing on ICS (I was hoping they would fix it in ICS). Those of you having very low battery life and using exchange services might want to disable it for a massive battery life boost and use a 3rd party app instead. I personally use Touchdown which has negligible or next to no battery usage.

u haven't open data usage ? and see what it wast for ^^

I solved this issue with a hard reset

I'm getting this issue too except on the Galaxy Nexus
472MB in the last week?
And it's using 25% of my battery

The battery drain is probably real, but I've found ICS' data management statistics are optimistic. My network says I've used around 19 Mb and ICS 35 Mb.
Both are way too low for a week. I'm supposed to be a geek, for goodness sake!

Background app..?? Useing??

I had the same issue on my Asus Transformer, Exchange configured with Hotmail.
On my Nexus S i had Hotmail app installed with high percentage of battery usage.
I removed the exchange account on Transformer and the Hotmail app on the Nexus S and now it's ok.
So i thought this could be an Hotmail problem during last days.

I have the same thing. Last night my "Exchange Services" started acting up and now I see it has eaten 300+ mb of my data as well as a good portion of my battery this morning.
I would very much like to know what the hell is up with that. It's utter crap.
Has anyone found out anything about why it's acting like this? I don't really want to disable my exchange account since I use it on a daily basis.

My battery life is amazing, here's how

I disabled all of the bloatware that came with the phone and also Facebook cause it was causing a ridiculous amount of wakelocks.

yes, disabling all things that make the phone a smart phone will extend the battery life...but then you may as well have a nokia 7730 (Battery life was a week)

Facebook was the only thing I disabled because of wakelocks, I disabled the others cause I don't use them.

Apologies, I was being mischievous, but it is more than obvious that if you disable all the interactive services you will make the battery live longer, so I don't see the need for a thread giving this as advice..

Normal use (using browser a lot, playing music, Facebook, 4G on) I get 5h+ screen on. This phone is a beast battery department.
My S4 had troubles topping 4h screen on (pacman rom though) don't remember stock roms, but still couldn' possibly beat this.

Because I get a lot of emails I'm expected to respond to during the day and I can tolerate using Facebook in browser since it's basically the same as the app.

I don't know what you people are doing, but my Z1 can handle easily 5h screen on and still have 20% or more battery left.
I'm not playing games though... but with phone calls, hangouts, gmail, drive excel editing, Sketch drawings, some google+ and facebook, twitter, pocket, etc plus web browsing with WiFi on I have to really push it so it doesn't last whole day. with normal use it's usually around 2 days untli I have to charge it.
Stamina activates on my phone at 85% battery level, low power mode kicks in at 15%.

Greenify!! The one stop solution for wakelocks that cause battery drain!! You have to be rooted though.

5-6 hours SOT with Wifi is doable but 5-6 hours SOT with only mobile data is imposibble. I get about 4 hours SOT that's all.
My friend LG G2 can survive 6 hours SOT with mobile data.
Something is wrong here

Uninstalling chrome boosted my battery life

I was always getting max 2 hrs SOT, everytime same set up of apps, including chrome from gapps.
Otherday i saw someone mentioning that getting rid of chrome and using firefox boosted battery life.
Guess what i did, got rid of chrome and installed firefox.
I am on Krexus and franco kernel and I am already seeing increased battery life, will update this thread with SOT and battery results as I get more hrs down, but thought may help other people.

I'm always saying that. Never use Chrome and Facebook app if you want long battery life.

Definitely comes down to app usage.
Some apps use hardly any battery and toss off SOT. Myself I'm at 50% running stock, stock kernel and xposed+GB and my SOT is just under 4hr

I have just used Facebook through the browser for years. Their app is a battery hogging bloated mess.

I get 5hrs avg SOT on my S7. And i use facebook and Google Chrome alot. But with same usage i only get 2hrs30m max SOT on N5X. Why is that?

Different battery size, different chipsets, different screen types will be some of the main reasons.

2700mAh vs 3000mAH is not much. But that much difference in SOT with almost same usage?! I think samsung's power management is better than stock Android. Galaxy S7's screen has more pixels than Nexus 5X but LED screen consumes less power also so that's a + point for S7.

Or you can try Swipe for Facebook if you want. It has the messenger in the app as well. By far this is one of my favorite third party facebook apps of all time. Plus, the developer's support is awesome, it's very fast.

My experience is the opposite. The battery life of my 5X is twice as good my S7. Both stock with no root or tweaks of any kind.

Switching out all the battery killers has been so great for me. Using Lighting/Speed browser and Face Slim, and I get way better battery life than I ever did.

I never had any extensive battery usage with these apps but then again, i always disable notifications on the Facebook app.

I don't see what's wrong with this. Bad signal kills battery pretty quick. I have terrible signal at my work desk and the battery drains quickly.

I've disabled almost all advanced features such as smart stay and stuff that normally uses your front camera to identify that we are looking at the phone. I don't understand what else to disable. I even disabled edge features but still no response. I've factory reset it several times to no change

There are many threads discussing the battery life of the US variants, nothing has been found to correct the Android battery drain. Even disabling some system packages has caused worse battery drain.

There seems to be a lot of variability out of the box. Mine has always had mediocre battery performance, even with no additional apps installed. I should have exchanged it when j had the chance, but I thought an update might fix it. Disabling this and that can make small improvements, but nothing I do has ever made it outstanding. There are some with great battery performance but I personally believe that with the exception of a few horrible apps (like facebook) there's only so much a user can do to influence battery for US devices. Either you have a good one, or you don't.

Bad battery life on Nexus 4

Hi!
I recently purchased a used Nexus 4 in very good condition.
However I was having problems with the battery not lasting very long. So I replaced it with one from a reseller that sells original spares (called "lgspares", I can't post links.).
Battery life is still bad. My battery usually lasts about 12-13 hours and is therefore empty in the afternoon or early evening.
This is quite annoying.
I am running cm-13.0-20160429-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2YJ-mako without Google Apps.
I run the following apps that (possibly) sync in the background:
* DavDroid to sync to a CalDav server, runs every 4 hours.
* K9 Mail to sync to an IMAP server, turned off IMAP push, runs every 30 minutes.
* FOSS Telegram, which does not use GCM. However I turned off "Background Connection" in the settings.
I used to have smaller intervals set for DavDroid and K9 and recently increased them to have a better battery life. However this did not have a big impact.
I ran battery historian for two usual days:
* Day 1:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
* Day 2:
Questions:
*I can see that the battery level decreases quite a lot while the screen is on. Does that simply mean that I have a bad battery?
*Did I miss something in the battery historian graph?
Thanks for your help!

How many hours of screen on time do you get? The Nexus 4 (or really any before the 6p) didn't have great battery life...

I see, that's unfortunate.
According to battery historian it was 2h7m for day 1 and 3h15 for day 2.
Is that average (for a N4)?

My N4 was rooted, and I used a kernel profile to help conserve the battery. I was also not running the screen @ full brightness. I usually managed to get through the day on one charge.

I will look up ways to adapt the "kernel profile"/cpu governor/etc. .
Actually the battery life has gotten better suddenly. I think the only adjustment I did was disabling vibration feedback while typing.
I will watch the behavior during the next days and possibly report back
Thanks for your input so far!

Turn off all sounds in other sounds in settings menu and check out l speed app on goggle play I use a n4 still and check out force doze app also it is on google play and kernel auditor is another good app

I will check these out!
I have disabled developers options and uninstalled Wakelock Detector.
The phone charged until 9am this morning and just now (10 hours later) it is at 70%.
Could it be that Wakelock Detector itself was draining the battery or that the developer options are to blame?
I am baffled.

You may need to restart the phone to show true battery level if that doesn't work download ampere app from Google play and make sure you are not using a very slow charger Normal charger would be a measuring of 600ma in my experience
also check settings battery see what is consuming most battery life

You likely need a new battery. These phones are 3yrs old. I had to replace mine every 1.5 years.
