As stated! Literally 78% of battery usage. I have only just started using email on my phone! Battery was amazing up until using email. I'm on rooted 2.3.3! Could anyone help.
The stock email app blows for exchange connectivity. It constantly hangs on me (the retrieval of email that is). I find when you have an area with a flaky connection (in and out of 3g), you get these issue. With it comes battery problems I've noticed.
I use touchdown for my primary exchange account to solve the lack of incoming email, but it too has battery issues if when it goes in and out of 3g coverage. It was fine until an update earlier in the year (on my old phone, then i noticed the battery issue, still notice on the arc now).
Are you using exchange or just regular email? If you notice your battery draining quick, its probably best to do a force close on it. You should be good to go for a few more hours until it happens again and the cycle repeats. The issue has been around wince 2.1 and I'm not sure why google doesn't get around to fixing it (I'm assuming the mail app at least uses a background service by google as I had the same issue on cyanogenmod since android 2.1). Its a well known issue.
I'm sure this doesn't help, its more of a "Me too".
I hope it gets better for you.
Yea its exchange mate! What a nightmare this is! Work email too so really need to find a work-around for this! I don't seem to have the issue of incoming email, it purely seems to be the battery usage! What a shame. thank you for the speedy reply.
you could try forwarding all your email to your gmail/ googlemail account and use that instead... doesn't solve the problem of replying though.. but you would at least get instant notications of incoming mail, without screwing your battery.
I also have this problem on my Arc - Accounts: Gmail & Exchange. With use of Green Power (Battery Saver which enables data traffic only 1 minute, then 10 minutes data traffic off) this drain-problem becomes WORSE. Before Update to 2.3.3 Green Power really saves some battery, after update 2.3.3 Green Power makes the drain more.
Best solution for me atm is: use only 2G, and don´t use Battery Savers like Green Power. I have to try playing around with exchange refresh settings (Push, once per hour...)
With this my battery drain ist about 2% per hour (no wifi, no gps, no calls... Only phone idle). Not perfect, but best i can get atm...
I use moxier mail for exchange mail. It's a pretty expensive app, but works flawless for me. Maybe there are some free exchange apps too try to search the market. Moxier mail doesn't even site up in my battery usage stats.
Thanks, I will give moxier mail a try.
Hard to justify since I bought touchdown already. I've since turned off push in touchdown and set to 15 minute intervals. Not ideal, its no longer draining my battery.
I've had this same problem for a while after updating to 2.3.3, I think the general solution is to NOT use push email and rather, set a interval (15 minutes or greater).
If you're in an area with scarce connectivity, the email application apparently continues to attempt to sync even with no signal so in that case, maybe a 3rd party email client will be better. Though apparently the popular K9 mail doesn't support active sync =/
Can anyone tell me how to set up email using Moxier? I cannot get it to connect to my exchange account at all, i have tried all possible combinations. My email address is [email protected]. Can you tell me what my domain would be? (previously using stock app i used @broadfieldprimary.herts.sch.uk - this worked fine) What my server would be (using stock app, I used db3prd0204.outlook.com - and this worked fine also. But trying to use Moxier - Paid - I cannot get any connection to this email!!! I'm sorry if this is a basic question, but If anyone could explain the set up I would need I would be eternally greatful!!
Hi all =]
Does anyone know if whatsapp & talkbox drain battery fast?
My hotmail is always connected to the server and had push enabled.
Would it be possible that adding whatsapp & talkbox won't make too much different with the battery since hotmail is already connected the internet at all times?
Cheers.
I use whatsapp myself and I don't notice any batery drain at all so I'm sure whatssap is not going to be a problem
I use Whatsapp for quite sometime (since my X10 time) and I don't experience battery issue due to this app. Basically this app doesn't connect to internet all the time. This app uses push technology and hence only if you are in the application or you have some messages from your contacts, it will connect to internet.
I have confirmed the above with the developer of the application. So I feel it's pretty cool app.
But sorry about the next app you mentioned, as I've not heard of that before.
Hi there
I get a lot of wake-up call from GTALK (my phone does not always stay in deep sleep when it should).
When I analyze it with BetterBatteryStats I see there are a lot of wake-up alarms from following stuff:
com.google.android.gsf
com.google.android.Intent.action.GTALK_RECONNECT
com.google.android.Intent.action.GTALK_HEARTBEAT
I'm not using GTALK at all and I'm not signed into the service either... really strange... can someone explain how I can disable this or remove if from my system?
Im running stock-kernel with acronioum 5.0

go to Gtalk setting and disable autostart/ auto sign in. it will help
Best,

some gtalk service is for Market, so be careful if you try disable some of them, market will not work.

Today I found those alarms with betterbatterystats, so I went to Autorun Manager and under Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf) disabled a couple of entries that mentioned the gtalk service, hopefully that will decrease the wakeups (Market still works ), I'll keep you informed
First of all, let me make clear that "wakeups" do not necessarily mean battery drain.
My battery lasts for over a day with heavy usage and Google Framework wakes up my phone 300+ times. "Wakeups" simply mean how many times the intent got the phone out of Deep Sleep. Battery drain depends on how long did it kept it awake and how heavy to the processor the task performed was.
Freezing/killing/etc any parts of GSF is not the smartest thing to do.
You can log out from Gtalk after you have diselected "Auto Login" from the app Settings.
Gtalk will still have some activity as it is tied to the Google Apps bundle of joy (that's why the OP sees those odd wakeups even though he is not using it)
however, you should not face any significant drain.
I have connected 100 MSN contacts and more than 300 Facebook contacts to my Gmail account via Jabber, so more or less Gtalk is always on and it manages messages from a 500+ contact database. It's been like that since my first Android phone (legendary HTC Tattoo), then on my X10 and now on my Arc S and I have never faced battery drain. Heck, even I doubted it for a moment and disabled Auto Login, and there was no difference in battery at all.
Just my 2 cents.
I have same problem.In better battery stats see that G_TALK, many times wake my phone, but I dont have application G+.How then this drain my battery.What I do, that I solve this problem. Always wake lock- g_talk.

so, did it work? any problems or positive effects?
Hi All,
I have had this beautiful device Ascend P6 for more than a couple of months now. Used ROMs B107, B111, B118CN, B122 and currently on B125. I must say that this is a very good device and give me close to 12-14 hours of battery life with not so high usage.
I have configured 2 company emails using activesync on Exchange and have kept the refresh interval at 1 hour with 3 days of sync for both the emails. What bothers me is that when I check the battery usage the Exchange services takes up more than 50% of battery every time. If this can be reduced, I am sure that the battery would rock.
I have attached 4 screenshots with the battery usage config, details on exchange service and my sync settings on both the emails.
Can somebody let me know if anything can be done to make this better, or should I just stay with it.
The amount of transfered data is not really high but depending on the amount of contacts and calender entries it can take a long time to get it synchronized.
If you don't synch contacts and calendar every hour you will encounter more efficient battery drain.
Still the same

I did try this and it helped upto an extend so and my keep awake time for this service has reduced to half. Still the service is taking up almost 40% of battery and I think there should just be a better way of doing this.

I sync with my works exchange and have never had these issues (been on 3 different roms, currently on 122), I have it set to push, days to sync = all, sync email and calendar but not contacts. I only sync with one account though, maybe try removing one account and seeing if that helps, and then re-add and remove the other?
One issue I did have with the stock version was the lack of ability not to set a quiet time, ie weekends and at night, tried a few other apps but didn't like them as much. I just use the profiles at night to turn auto sync off, and at the weekend I just ignore the emails
I get about 2 days out my battery from full charge. I also have it syncing with hotmail, use bluetooth in the car for 2 hours a day, browsing the web etc. So i'd say i'm a mid level battery user.
The latest version of the email/exchange apps you get with the nexus 5 have been released, maybe try them? I installed them on my P6 fine, here they are here...

Let me download them and install. Hopefully they will be better than the default mail app. Still not sure, if I should go with this or the Touchdown

I found it used far much more battery and data than the default app. Loads of extra addons in it, but for me I just want to check emails, reply etc. Nothing fancy.
Similar issue with Moto G 1st Gen India
Hi,
I am using a moto g 1st generation. I have recently updated to lolipop. After upating to lolipop Microsoft Exchange Services eating 49% of my battery. My sync was off.
Hello,
I've have discovered recently, that I don't receive push notifications from FB messenger about new messages. So unless I open the app, I don't know about new messages from my friends or family. Does anyone have same issue? Could It be phone's problem?
Thanks for any advice.

are you running stock rom and/or stock recovery? or are you on battery saver mode all the time?
android might be putting fb messanger into a deep doze state, if on Android 9 go to your phones settings, then application and notification, then click on Facebook messanger, then advanced, select battery, battery optimization, change the option to display all apps, find Facebook messanger and select not optimized.
hopefully this helps, i haven't had this issue but others report poor ram management on tgeir devices.
This worked a treat for me on my xiaomi note 8 thank you.........
