After Gingerbread update Motoblur using Excessive data - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After upgrading to Gingerbread I noticed that my phone is now using about 500-800mb a day. I notice my battery is is dead in 5 hours. I tracked it down to:
com.motorola.blur.service.main:10012
Its using 1mb about every minute.
I tried adjusting a few settings nothing.
I'm on Bell Canada, is anyone else noticing this? My corporate sync also stopped working.
If anyone could check their phone and let me know it would be muchly appreciated.

My corp sync works push mail stopped, its configured correctly ... you'll just have to trust me. The manual sync works.

I updated last night and I'm having the same problem.
Basically either I leave background data on, and com.motorola.service.com eats through my battery and downloads 100megs an hour, or I turn background data off, and everything is fine, but I don't get emails anymore.
Does anyone know what's going on? My phone was working great before, and I wouldn't have willingly traded up for a new color scheme and profiles (useless), if it meant I lost my email, and didn't even get new Swype or Chat...

[Q] Synch interval with gmail?

So I tried to get my work to get me a blackberry because I need to check my work email when I am not there at nights, weekends, etc. They saw I had a thunderbolt but I tried explaining how the battery wouldn't last. Well that wasn't good enough so today I synched my works email (corporate gmail account) to my phone and I am getting the push notifications just like I wanted, and the battery is terrible just as I said it would be. Is there any way to adjust how often it checks for new mail to push notifications through? I feel like there has to be some way but I searched and found nothing for the thunderbolt. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Not sure if this would work for you, but you could go into your accounts & sync setting and uncheck the autoupdate for your google business account (since I don't have one, not sure if it will allow you separate out google accounts). Then only go in and manually sync it when you need it?
The only thing with that is I have to manually sync which defeats the purpose of it

How much mail do you actually get pushed?
I get quite a bit of mail to my regular google account because I've tied all my other accounts to my google account and I don't have any real issue with extreme battery drain?
I had an android since the G1 first came out and with each successive phone I've gotten, I've never noticed that mail is a real big battery drain on any of them.
I would say 15-20 mails a day. However one of our clients is west coast based so I tend to get a lot after I leave work. This is definitely a battery killer by multiple hours. I'm going to try my damndest to get a blackberry and show them how awful it is but I need something in the mean time to get me through the day. My phone didn't last 9-6 today
I can't believe something as simple as an interval adjustment isn't built into the gmail app. I searched all over and several people have asked this but there is never a solution. I wonder if I could use another email app that is adjustable instead of the official gmail app.
The easiest solution is to check one of the apps, such as Juice Defender, that can turn off your network connection when not in use. You can set them to periodically enable them to turn data back on to allow things like emails to come through.
And GMail push notifications act just like Blackberry-style push notifications of email. It isn't constantly checking the server for new emails. It gets notified only when new emails arrive. Something else is likely causing your battery problems, not the push notifications. I'd check some of the battery threads around for other tips to increase battery life before making any major changes.
I've never heard of email being the culprit to any battery problems, so you might want to see if there are some rogue apps you have that are causing this battery drain.
As for email, I use Tasker. I have a profile that turns auto-sync on at 6:15 AM and every three hours after that at a quarter past, then I have a profile that turns auto-sync off at 6:17 AM and every three hours, so I only get email at a quarter past, every three hours
Not sure how elegant of a solution this is for you as you work for a company and might have some emails that you need to respond to ASAP.

I use Tasker as well, with it checking only between 6:30am - midnight. However, I check mine every 20 minutes normally. If they need to get in touch with me faster than that, they should have called in the first place. I played with Juice Defender prior to discovering Tasker though, and it is much easier to set up.(Just not nearly as powerful as Tasker, which I love playing with)

Push is more efficient than interval, that is why you don't see interval adjustments.
Well as others have said, I don't think it's the emails causing your issues. I get way more emails than that in a day and my phone comes off charger around 5am and doesn't usually get back on a charger until at least 9pm or later. I'm not saying I still have half a charge left, but I also don't have my phone yelling at me to plug it in either because it's low.
Hmm good to know about how those push notifications work. I guess it's just a coincidence that when I synched my email a couple days ago that I noticed the battery went noticeably down. I might try out tasker though. Thanks
It could have been also your signal strength when you were trying to sync that could have caused a bigger drain.
If you had a weak signal, your phone would have been trying to "juice" up the connection to keep you connected resulting in a larger than normal battery drain.
Just a thought.
this is true since I moved from central jersey (manalapan) to North Jersey (wallington) I am now in 4g constantly and maybe I should look into switching to 3g for a bit.

[Q] "Phone" app using large amount of data?

Hello all,
I have a amaze for a while now that I recently (about 2 months ago) installed 3g watch dog to monitor the data I use thru out the month.
I noticed that over the last 19 days that the "phone" with sub catagories of phone, dialer storage, SIM toolkit program used about 115 mb of data.
Over the last hour has used about 470kb and have not even used the phone at all.
While right now I have a 5gb plan (that I have gone over a few times with) and is not a problem now if I go to a 200 mb plan to save money that would be over half the months useage.
Currently I am completely stock with the phone not rooted or even unlocked bootloader or anything.
Does anyone know why that app is using so much data or what may be causeing it?
Any help or insite would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed a handful of people have looked at this with no response, so just wanted to say you're not alone but I have no idea why. Any insight would be great.
I was wondering if using Facebook that's built into the phone/contacts app might be something?

It requires root, the OP isn't rooted.
Looking into this a little more I went so far as turning off background, auto sync, location services, all syncs of contacts and accounts, update polling for the phone OS.
And has jumped over 2 mb in a hour with no phone use.
Not sure if there is anything else that could cause that.
Really the only thing that I have seen that stops it is turning off data on the phone completely.

The data toggle is a must have.
I've trained myself to tap it before the phone goes down, or I don't require the net.

[Q] (SGSII - CM9) Sleeping, WiFi, Google servers and push

Sorry, I cannot post the links since I'm such a noob, XD. In approximately 7 messages I'll edit with the full links.
------
Hi XDA! I'm the proud owner of a SGSII since Sept 2011. A problem I've had since day one is that Whatsapp, Gmail, FB, etc don't behave in a "push" manner, meaning I'll often get the notifications half an hour after they should have arrived.
Recently, I rooted and updated my phone to Samsung's ICS rom and noticed that, when I woke up in the morning, I wouldn't have any notifications until I started toying with the phone for about 5 minutes, in which moment I would be flooded by emails, FB messages, whatsapp messages, etc.
Hoping to kill this unhealthy trend I upgraded to CM9 and flashed the latest radio through recovery. My problem now is that the moment the phone switches the screen off, it seems to lose connection with google servers. (I interpret that when the WiFi and network icons are colored grey instead of blue is because they have no connection to google servers, please correct me if I'm wrong.). Of course, my original problem stands but it is now aggravated by the fact that this happens every time I turn the screen off. WiFi remains on, but without server connection, as in this screenshot: i.imgur.com/SkLrQ.png
My ICS version is 4.0.4, I'm using the 22-04 CM nightly, I usually update it once a week more or less and will do it tonight to rule this out. I guess if it were a CM problem there would be more awareness about this. More info about my phone: i.imgur.com/y6avq.png
I should note that my WiFi sleep policy is turned to never switch off WiFi. Also, I leave my phone charging every night before going to bed. WiFi is always on while discharging but I still don't get the e-mails: i.imgur.com/0W37j.png
Please XDA, is this a phone problem? a rom problem? a router problem? Your help will be very much appreciated.
Don't hesitate to ask if you need more data for diagnostics.

So, what exactly is your problem?
1. Push notifications take several minutes to appear on your phone:
That's quite normal. Push does not mean that you will have no delay.
2. Google service (Gmail) does not sync onm your phone:
Have you wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache?
Have you cleared Gmail app data?
Have you done a factory reset?
Maybe you need to remove your current Google account and re-create it afterwards.
Good luck !
Thanks for answering!!

No, the problem is that every time the screen goes out while on WiFi, the phone will lose connection with the Google Servers. This doesn't delay the e-mails and messages from coming in, it directly prevents it. Messages won't come through until I've toyed with the phone for several minutes after waking it up

Yes, I wiped all the caches and cleared Gmail data. Since this post, I updated to latest CM Nightly, Siyah Kernel and XXLPS radio (which I believe is the latest). Still no improvement.
Will keep trying variables and update with results. Thanks for your help.
I have a similar issue with my Android devices as well, pretty sure it's not related to the internet since I've tested 3 phones (stock nexus one, stock galaxy nexus and custom SanFran) on 3 different wifi networks and they all seem to lose google server connection every 16 minutes.
going into *#*#8255#*#* i can see heartbeat timeouts every 16 minutes whenever the phones are connected to wifi network.
the only thing i haven't tried is to sign into another google account, will try that sometime in the future but not sure if that's going to help.
shudnt be wifi problem. i am using whatsapp on 2G / 3G and having same problem as well. Only started when moved over to ICS. Did not seem to have this problem when in GB.
You sure you don't have wifi sleep modus on while screen is off?
It's in the settings somewhere.. (maybe by battery and maybe by connections/wifi?)

Push Notifications Don't Work With Screen Off (Gmail, Talk, Voice, etc.)

Recently I disabled the best wi-fi performance option (I enabled it on accident while messing around with settings on launch day) which obviously increased my battery life dramatically by actually allowing my phone to go into deep sleep. But now I hit a new issue.
Before I go on, I want to state that I DID apply the SmartSync fix and that my data IS working while my phone is in deep sleep.
New emails I receive with Gmail app do not get pushed to my phone as they should. They are anywhere from 5-15 minutes late if they even show up at all. If I happen to turn my screen on, automatically I get the notification of new emails.
Is anyone else having this issue with Gmail or any other app? I find it strange that while I have data (wi-fi/3g) enabled and working with the screen off, emails still come in delayed.
Any help would be appreciated. I have searched around and most of the answers I came up with (regarding HTC devices like the One X) had to do with SmartSync messing up the connection or someone not having the notifications enabled. I'm at a loss 0.0
EDIT: I tested this with Google Talk had my main account up in Gmail and in another browser windows my other Gmail account. Added both of them, talked to my self, if my device screen was off, I would either get it 1-2 minutes late or not at all. Once I turned my screen back on, the notifications poured in. I also tried the same scenario with my main Gmail account logged off (in case it was canceling out the messages to my phone, which it wasn't) and I had the same outcome. I edited the title to reflect that this isn't a Gmail only issue.
EDIT 2: Did more tests, I tried turning Wi-Fi off completely and running the same tests as above to my surprise everything worked as expected. I initially thought it might be because of my 5Ghz Wi-Fi band, so I tried it all again on my 2.4Ghz channel -- had the same problems as before. Somehow the issue pertains to your screen being off and Wi-Fi being on.
EDIT 3: I just tried streaming Pandora and shutting the screen off (maybe WiFi WAS somehow shutting off) Pandora kept playing no problem. I messaged myself on Talk, got the notification right away. This is very bizarre 0.0 But it might confirm this only happens when the phone is in deep sleep mode... Still doesn't answer why it doesn't happen on 3G or why notifications sometimes still come through.
EDIT 4: Still no fix but I have discovered that for some reason if the screen is off ANY data doesn't go through. Let me explain better:
If I have some thing like Pandora running then it will continue to run once I shut my screen off. But if WiFi isn't being used and I turn my screen off and then lets say I try to connect to it with Cerberus or ping it from my PC or something it will not even though the router reports it as connected.
Very strange behavior.
This is interesting...maybe the wifi performance toggle is associated to the smartsync, and all?.....I will say that with it unchecked I am getting some really really good battery life here compared to previous phones....but I also notice at times when emails are not pushed till I wake the screen during the day....Also the fact my wifi doesn't automatically reconnect to my house when I get back from work till I wake the screen...little things like that...
Havent messed with the best performance setting but will try it today now...

Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logicvoid.powersaversettings&hl=en and unchecking "put data connection to sleep." It may not solve the issue but its worth a shot.

Have it, and it is unchecked. That's the weird thing, wi fi doesn't actually turn all the way off because SOMETIMES I do get the push notifications (late, however).

When I installed this app, my cpu reduction and frame rate reduction was enabled. Does that mean this is standard with this phone. Does using this app to disable those setting improve the performance?
Issue continued overnight, tried various other things and nothing seems to fix it. I want to get my notifications but I don't want to destroy my battery life xD is anyone else having this issue?

It's definitely not a hardware problem because if that was the case the phone wouldn't work with wi fi almost at all. My wi-fi connection is rock solid even when the screen is off, just for some reason it won't notify I have the messages until the screen gets turned on.
I did some tests on my gf's stock phone and she's having the same issues, I told her to do some tests on her parents wi-fi when she goes there. I wonder if sgt slaughter has any news.
Btw if you definitely need them on time and need to be on wi fi but don't care about battery life that much just enable best wi fi performance.

Actually more like a Smart Sync break ... The built in settings/app put your data connections to sleep when your phone goes to deep sleep; this is done to save battery when phone not in use for extended period.
Some folks hate losing the data connections so a flashable "fix" is available for the "problem" ... Look around; you'll find it

its a sense problem, there's a thread in the one x forums on how to fix it. I'll post when I get home if I can find it. it shuts down to a 'power save' mode after a while plus after midnight or 11 or something.
Just wanted to update that I installed a custom rom that contains the WiFi fix mentioned and although my WiFi doesn't seem to drop how it did before (at least after one day) my notifications are anywhere between 4-10 minutes late on average through WiFi. This seems to be across the board for Exchange email, Gmail & Google Voice.

Yes my setup also had the wi-fi fix, I can even see my phone connected to the router when the screen is off, the connection is strong.
I had a suspicion it was probably the basic transfer rate of the browser and for some reason I could not adjust this on my fancy 100 dollar router with dd-wrt flashed onto it so I set up a repeater with my older router on stock settings. It seems like the notifications are coming through better now (albeit not instantly) but at least I don't have to turn my screen on every time. It might be a placebo effect or just luck (because at times it does work even with my other router).
EDIT: Ignore the italicized sentence. It was just a stroke of luck, the problem came back.
I'm out of ideas at this point xD
I am having a similar issue as well.
I am rooted and running Fresh Evo LTE 5.1.1 which has the "Disabled SmartSync deep sleep mode" already installed. I also leave my WiFi off (for the same reason as the OP outlines - messages are just plain not arriving or if they do it's after I turn the screen on).
I use gtalk as my primary form of communication on my phone and what seems to be happening is messages from my two closest friends are never arriving. It's hit or miss but seems to be ~45mins after my screen turns off that they send a message and I never get it. One is on Sprint on my family plan and the other is on Verizon. The weird thing is that if I look in my gmail > conversations the messages aren't there either.
I haven't been able to verify any SMS messages that I haven't received but I have noticed that my email notifications seemed a bit wonky but this issue may be fixed with changing my "push" hours (which is retarded to have factory set to only push email between 8am - 8pm).
Question for the smart kids in the class: When does the phone reach "deep sleep"? Is it around ~45mins after the screen turns off?

I also have the dual core mod which I BELIEVE sets my deep sleep right away which is probably why I have the problem more often than you do. One question just so we can start gathering facts large scale, if you're on 3G do you have the problem still? What if you turn 'best wi-fi performance'?

Correct - I have this problem on 3G. I run on only 3G because the problem is more prevalent on WiFi, but still very common on only 3G.
Currently I have "best wifi performance" turned off. Do you want me to test with it on or off?

On. When I turn it on it pretty much eliminates the issue, it acts just like 3G. But for me 3G is almost perfect (a couple seconds of delay but I can deal with that). Remember though that if you leave it ticked on it will destroy your battery life.
WiFi is on, best WiFi performance is on as well.. I'll run it this way a couple of days and see if I can replicate the problem.
I just wanted to say that I've been having similar issues. I have tried turning on best wifi performance, but I don't think that is helping. For one thing, when I have that turned on, when I wake the phone, the wifi is often times not connected, and it shows 3G. Then it will connect to wifi shortly after I wake the phone. On top of that, I'm still not getting notifications on time. I was notified of an email when I woke the phone that actually came in 10 minutes earlier. Hopefully HTC/Sprint is aware and working on a fix.
Still no fix but I have discovered that for some reason if the screen is off ANY data doesn't go through. Let me explain better:
If I have some thing like Pandora running then it will continue to run once I shut my screen off.

[Q] Wifi problem

Hey guys,
I wonder if any of you has the same issue as me.. Basically, when phone is connected via WiFi it barely syncs Gmail/Facebook twice a day, I can go for hours without seeing a new email notification on the phone.. When it's on Data/3G it syncs properly and I'm getting a notification as soon as the email comes in.. I've checked everything on the phone, and I can't seem to find anything which would explain this behavior.. Currently I had to set Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to never in order to have sync working properly when I'm at home..
Btw. stock ROM, haven't touched anything since I've purchased it.
Any ideas?

Do you notice any other internet connection irregularities when on wifi? e.g. after a deep sleep if you try the browser it fails to load the page straight away and takes a refresh?
No, after I wake up the phone when it's on wifi during sleep - internet works fine.. Ie. I can load websites in the browser, open up Google Play, lookup Imdb from the application etc. Everything is working fine apart from the phone syncing my mails and everything else while it's on Wifi/Sleeping. Checking the last time it synced in Settings >> Accounts and sync also shows that it synced last time hours ago (it didn't even try to sync while it's on wifi).
Can someone please test this if it happens on other phones as well?
