I was about to pull my hair out due to the pathetic battery life on this phone. I screwed and fiddled with every setting I know to fiddle with, with pretty much no luck. I would have to charge after roughly 6 hours of moderate use. Well, finally removed the friendstream widget thinking that would be enough...but nothing. I then went into accounts-sync and completely removed the "facebook for htc sense" account. I think that is what friendstream uses. Anyway, battery life is now actually pretty impressive. I took my phone off charger at 2am last night...played around with it this morning...a couple pictures/emails, about 10 mins. of google nav, showing my bro some things. Anyway, I am at 80% battery life (almost 12 hours to the minute). That is a HUGE improvement and I am now in love with my phone again . A GREAT alternative to friendstream (I think as good if not better) is Pure Messenger Widget. Does almost the exact same thing as friendstream (can include gmail, twitter, facebok and some other social utilities), but uses a ton less battery and is skinnable with htc sense skins to integrate nicely within the EVO.
Figured I would post for those that are having battery issues like I was....give it a try and you should be nicely surprised!
Where to get it though? Don't see that app in market. I can see all the suthors other apps fine.
Just curious... do you happen to remember what the sync interval was before you deleted it?

default for live stream is 2 hours I believe.
I, for one, appreciate linking my contacts with Facebook, as it provides me with birthday reminders and contact photos with very little effort. I could care less however for the live feed BS. I've unchecked "Sync live feed", and have increased the Sync duration to once a day.
Another big battery killer is the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700601 CDMA battery trick, which I have seen great results from.
All of these suggested battery killers are software issues.. something HTC could easily help manage.. or perhaps someone could write a decent "Power Profile" for the phone that basically neuters the power hungry bg processes?

As long as you have the 'live feed' disable you can remove friendstream and still keep contacts synced. I do and the birthdays and pictures from facebook show up fine.
I am also not seeing it in the Market, but all of the dev's other apps are there.
I should have clarified. I deleted facebook for sense, then added back and only checked off sync live feeds. If you don't do this then it still updates and I have found sucks the life out of the battery at a ridiculous rate no matter what interval you set. I have been using my phone a good amount today (17 hours off charger) and I'm at 40%. Considering I was seeing yellow at 5-6 hours before, I am as happy as can be. CDMA was already set on my phone, the above change is the only change I have made and directly responsible for my battery improvement.
I cannot find pure messenger widget in the market either, so if anyone wants .apk, just let me know. I had it backed up.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip... I'm going to try and disable "sync live feeds" and see how it goes because I've had to practically keep my EVO plugged in since I got it!
if it was a free app go head an upload it as an attachment, else PM it to me please nice find
Also, You can probably remove the included Stock app from syncing all together, I prefer Google finance anyway. Also if you use the half screen twitter widget, you can turn off or set sync to one day since it will update whenever you open the app.
Did you remove the whole app "Facebook for HTC Sense" somehow or just remove the account and redo the account?
If you removed the app and put it back, can you explain how you did that?

You don't want to remove HTC Facebook Sense -- that's the app that allows you to sync your Facebook contacts with your contacts in Address book (the one that shows your pictures of your contacts).
If you want to remove FriendStream, it's best to turn off "Live Sync Feed" first (Menu - Settings - Accounts & Sync - HTC Facebook - Uncheck Live Sync Feed), then uninstall it; otherwise Live sync will always try to sync your feed continuously, thus resulting in battery drain.
I know, I was talking about the poster on the other page that was trying to kill the stuck "sync news feed" function. Even after you uncheck it, it still keeps updating the news feed. Must be a bug somewhere.
Anyway, I found that by removing your Facebook for HTC Sense account then re-adding it and immediately unchecking Sync Live Feed fixes it.

I wasn't addressing your post, but thanks for the heads up -- I was never aware of the bug... well, it's never happened to me anyway.
Yeah many people have found that even after unchecking Sync Live Feed, the people list still keeps getting all those annoying news feed updates. It makes the silly think constantly update and sync wasting what little valuable electricity we have.
Since vodafone are starting enforcing their data allowance limits in October, I've been keeping a closer eye on my data usage and was surprised to see that, some days, I'm using 60-70mb. I knew that I was actively using a fraction of that so it had to be something running in the background.
I've got things like facebook and seesmic set to update once an hour and most other things set to manual or once a day updates. Most heavy data use apps like Spotify and Guardian Anywhere are set to only update over Wifi so I couldn't figure out what it might be.
After some searching, I managed to find an app which can break down data usage per app. It turns out that, in the space of a few hours, Calendar used about 20mb just running in the background. I'm guessing this is an HTC sense problem rather than an android issue with just keeping my gmail account in sync, since gmail and contacts aren't pulling down anything like the same amount of data.
Does anyone know how to set refresh intervals for calendar without affecting the other gmail account sync data? The only options I can find is straight on/off with no frequency options.
I'm rooted and using stock rom, since I prefer stability and even the most stable custom roms tend to have a few quirks here and there, but I cant afford so much data to be squandered when it doesn't need to be so might switch, but in the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions? I tried searching the forum but it doesn't seem like there's anyone else having the same problem.

Hi, would you mind posting a link to this app? I have the same problem and have searched for something to break down usage per app but couldn't find anything. Thanks, Stoatie
Wow! Now THAT explains everything and why I was averaging 50-70mb/day as well! I'm also watching my data usage, so thank you so much for this post...
As for an answer, my best advice for now....remove the tick that allows your calendar to sync with your gmail account. The only reason you need to sync your accounts is if you frequently use the web app and as a backup option. So, you can turn off that and your contacts sync and everything will still stay as is and save you precious data. Then you can sync everything once a day or every couple of days if you're into flashing roms or are prone to lose phones, etc.
Hope that helps...I'm about to try out and watch my data usage as well!

This may have been addressed, but a search didn't reveal anything exactly like this. Please bear in mind that I'm an Android newbie!
I bought the Incredible 2 last Thursday. No rooting, nothing weird, still mostly stock. This morning it's running very slow, screen transitions jerky, etc. and even text based email takes minutes to open. I messed around in settings, and notice that Mail (com.htc.android.mail) is using 48% of my battery, more than twice what the screen is using! I force close, and the phone speeds right up, lag is gone, screen transitions smooth but, minutes later, Mail comes back on line and the phone goes to crap.
I've used more that 1/2 my battery in two hours. I notice that the uptime is 1 hr 58 minutes, and the awake time is 1 hr 44 minutes, so I assume that the mail app is also preventing the phone from sleeping.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated!!
This may sound obvious, but did you try resetting your phone? Turn fastboot off (settings > applications > click fastboot so it is unchecked) then kill mail, and before it has a chance to restart hold the power button, then shut down. The restart option might work, but for things like this I prefer a good old fashioned power down, power up. Anyways, power your phone back on by pushing the power button for two seconds or so. Then see how it goes. This is an error that I have not heard about, but a reset is a universal problem solver. If it doesn't work, tell us what kind of email accounts you have set up (pop, imap, exchange) and how many, and also the settings for checking the mail.
Hopefully the restart will fix it though.

Thanks! My limited Android knowledge told me to try a restart, but I actually didn't know how on the Incredible 2!!
Anyway, the problem went away for a couple hours, then came back!
I use a POP server for my work email, and gmail for personal. I really don't understand this, as nothing has changed since yesterday, but the phone has slowed to a crawl!
Try a third party email app. I don't know of any offhand as I only use gmail on my phone. My gmail account checks my imap account on another host so it's all together, and I can distinguish which account is which on the emails through gmail tags.
Umm I think this will require a factory reset, because you can't uninstall stock mail nor freeze it without root
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
You can temp root, and freeze the stock mail app if that is the way you decide to go. Instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068544. But that sounds more like something faulty with the software, because like I said, I have never heard of that happening before. I would take it back to Verizon, complain incessantly, and point out that you could have fixed it yourself if the phone had an unlocked bootloader
Do you have them set to check mail constantly, push, or are they on a delay? Can you use imap for work instead of pop? I have four accounts set up on mine, including an exchange, and three imap accounts. The fact that it just started happening leads me to believe something broke in the system, though. A factory reset and re-flash may indeed fix the problem. Also, do you have good 3g coverage most of the day? Check your time without signal under battery status in settings. Click on cell standby and it should give it to you. Or are you using wifi most of the day?
Sorry for the rambling questions, just writing stuff out as I think of it. Trying to narrow down what the problem could be.
Thanks, again.
I'm using the mail settings that the school requires, so can't change them. Currently set only to update when the app is opened.
I generally get good cellular reception at work, and I have wifi as well. I've been trying it with or without wifi today, with no changes. I'll try a reset and see if that helps.
I just mentioned trying another app because I don't see these problems and I do not have the stock mail app configured in any way.

I've had the Inc 1 and now the two. I've always turned off the (auto sync) this would require yyou to open your mail and manually refresh or of you use the sync all widget it works that was as well. Seems to save a ton of battery only drawback being you have to manually check it. Ie. No mail notifications. Just a thought maybe you want to give it a shot.
Thanks, everyone. Using a combination of all your advise, the problem is resolved. I factory reset the phone, then installed only my gmail account. This worked fine all of yesterday, so I finally got off my butt and learned how to use gmail to read and send my work email last night. That seems to be working well. I'm still getting email notifications, but gmail is only using 3% of my battery, as opposed to the 48% that Android mail was using.
Still don't know what caused the trouble, but I'm very pleased with the solution.
Thanks again!!
Email battery problem also on Nexus S
I have also the problem that the standard email is consuming the biggest part of the battery - mostly over 50%. I use an exchange account and a pop email, but both not synchronized automatically (manual sync interval), and I do not use them so often - max. one sync a day...
Anyone an idea how to improve this?

K-9 Mail
I had also the problem (as mentioned above) with the standard android email programm and a so related short battery life. Since I deleted all email configurations there and installed K-9 mail client instead, battery life improved a lot. Before I could use my phone about 2 days, now it lasts for around 5-6 days...
guys, I've recently noticed that mail_service (from exchange)wakelock drains my battery pretty badly, I've reset the account a few days back and enjoyed quite a bit of good battery life (like 1-2 hrs for 1%, with 3G/data on and auto sync off) for two days,but today the bug came back. I wonder any of you experience this?
There has been reports of battery drain and the Android OS not going to deep sleep properly. However, there's to many factors to take into account.
Some claim that opening and closing the camera app has something to do with it. (CMOS sensor is kept open and active)

my Android OS was at 30some%, the betterbatterystats showed mail_service contributed to over 50mins wakelocks while I set manual sync. I am afraid it's another bug that android has.
exchange sucks when it comes to battery life, but I think it's more a protocol thing than an app thing. I did battery tests ages ago on my nexus one, and found exchange sucked up more battery/h than gmail/gtalk/facebook/+++ (basically everything else + phone idle) did combined.
Note that if you dont have exchange on push sync some exchange servers will require a full refresh when you connect. So it'll suck up more battery to sync every hour than having push notifications on. (Although exchange push requires a continously connected encrypted session... which isn't great for battery life either).

It never showed up in the battery stats for anything. But if I disabled exchange and left it overnight I'd have WAY better battery/h than I did if I left it on.

I removed the account, just to be certain it wasn't doing anything. When I added the exchange account I noticed a quite bad drop in battery time, even though it never showed anywhere. So I tested it overnight tons of times with different settings. And the thing that helped me improve my battery time more than anything else was removing exchange.

well, that sucks, i need my exchange to get through my job, when exchange is behaving well, i got quite good battery life with 1% drop with 1-2hrs with no tweak (stock 4.0.2), now when exchange bug kicks in 1% would drop in around 15min. i can believe Google can still let it happen when we are already in its 4.0
I had this problem using Enhanced Email, and was able to resolve it by disabling calendar sync for the exchange account. As I understand Enhanced Email to be pretty similar to the stock email application, perhaps you might give that a try and see if it improves the situation.
I suspect the battery usage and best settings depend heavily on exchange server types as well. So do your own testing on this

I've tried Enhanced Email and seems it doesn't support calendar sync fot 4.0 just yet. and i really do need calendar sync for my job.
actually, i also bought Touchdown, but too bad that it can't be integrated into phone's calendar, and the calendar viewing is suck for TD. (i really got spoiled by Calendar Pad / Jorte which can display individual events under month view.)

i think so too, but i think if i set manual sync the app shouldn't have that much of wake locks which keep my phone awake which drains battery.
I had my exchange account set to only sync email. I also set the check frequency to manual... the exchange service would still suck up a ton of battery. Every few hours I would receive a notification of new email for my exchange account. WTF? Why was it syncing in the background when I had sync set to manual..?

Sorry I don't understand ur first part? So it had gone to normal after a few hours of syncing you mean?
Done more testing yesterday, after a 12hr working day (no emailing on phone but few calendars added/editted,all time 3G & data on ) , the exchange caused around 500 partial wakelocks (spent around 10min in total) reported by betterbatterystats, causing my phone to drop 1% in around 30min which I've undervolted using JameBond 1.2-307.
Yet, when I got home, I switched to my home Wi-Fi and found that the wakelocks were much less and my battery dropped 1% in around 1.5 to 2hr.
Don't know if the network status from 3G triggered the exchange to drain power from wakelocking.

If your undervolted then your battery readout is incorrect anyway. Your battery meter isn't displaying actual battery capacity, it's estimating it based on a scale of power consumption @ X mhz of processor speed within an actual timeframe.
When you undervolt, there's no reference point. Your battery display is somewhat useless. It's why often times the last 10% @ idle seems to last forever.
I have high battery usage from Exchange. It's been a concern of mine for some time. Glad to see others noticing the same thing.

I am connected to two different Exchange accounts, one 2007 server and one 2010 server. Both set to automatic push. Battery life has been excellent with this phone and getting better. Yesterday, with several phone calls, emails, etc. I clocked in at 1 day 7 hours before I hit the 14% warning threshold.
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 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...
