I hv S2 rooted with titanium, autostart and watch dog running.
After doing all this still i m not happy with the battery life. it dies by evening with push exchange mail, calls , wifi, sms, gmail. no game play or music. I hv freezed unwanted stuff.
I hv noticed that in task manager my email app shows ram usage of upto 28 mb and cpu @ 15% and it turns red in color. is there something i need to do.
Any more suggestions.
my e-mail is also draining most of my power. going to try and look for a fix later and post on here if i find anything. otherwise i'll just install another e-mail app and see?
EDIT: I was also using "Never" sync mail, contacts, calendar... I've been refreshing it manually and even when I don't refresh it, it is the major cause of battery drain.
If your root you can navigate to system/app and delete email + email widget apks, with the stock samsung email even if you dont use it its still running in the background eating battery.
k9 mail is a very good alternative.
Also check out betterbatterystats its very good for seeing whats draining battery.

fanta182,
I fixed my problem. K9 didn't work for me because it would not connect to the exchange server for some reason. However this worked:

Anyone know of an email client which support true push notification for Yahoo mail? If you are using one that does, please give me some setup tips also to enable push.
the official Yahoo mail app....instant notifications, on spot
Thank you. How does it drain battery? I figured out my email app as the single app determining how long battery last for decent use. I had maildroid before, dumped it after the latest update started killing phone in 2 hours. Didn't use any email client for 2 days and noticed just 2% battery drop in 7 hours of sleep with backgroud sync and everything else! Now I need a decent email app which wont drain too much juice.

couldnt tell you.....i have so much **** running on my phones these days i have no idea whats eating my battery anymore haha.....give it a shot and test it out....great app
Try K-9 or Maildroid... ( I prefer Maildroid myself...)
K-9 is not really pusing the email thru IMAP yahoo server. I had to poll once in 30 mins to get mails. I used Maildroid for about 4 month happily until the latest update started draining the battery like crazy. Phone dead in 2 hours flat!
Hello people,
Having serious problem with my mail since it's drains my battery!
I have 3 exchange accounts (2 Hotmail, 1 MS exchange of my work) and the problem is that something called MAIL_SERVICE keeps my device awake all the time (used betterbattrystats).
For testing proposes I only set 1 Hotmail account, but the problem still remains.
I configured it to be by push so maybe it has something to do with it.
Using cognition 1.31, with ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel.
In addition I installed the premium mail services that the designer of cognition removed.
added some photos for u to understand better!
thanks thanks thanks!!!
I have been sitting for 4 days in a row to understand better and to fix this annoying problem!!!
Well you have the mail accounts set up with Auto Sync dude, so that will keep the device awake and which is clear by your graph. So it's very normal battery drain will be more than normal. You have to change it to Manual Sync/Refresh to get better battery life mate.
Regards.

Yes I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think it should behave like it.
For example whatsapp or viber are also push apps but non of them is connected all the time.
In addition, I think its more like the mail is kind of stuck during the communication with the server.
Can more people confirm that the mail should behave like its behaving for me???
Thanks guys

Just noticed mail is awake for one hour and 40 minutes and that's allllot! Couldn't be because of the push
And note that the mail is also using about 50 mb a day which is a looot for 2kb emails and less then 10 mails...
That's the only thing left for me to say its the best device on earth...
If ill fix it I can die happy

What'll drain more battery, the Samsung e-mail app on push 24/7 (with a single Gmail account), or the Gmail app with sync?
only one way to really find out since every ones phone behaves differently, try each one over two or three days.see how each one goes.
If you use the email app and set sync to just a few hours instead of a few minutes you may find that it uses less juice than gmail (you can also set gmail to sync less often)
If you choose to use one rather than the other don't forget to freeze the other app as they are system apps and will continue to run in background even if they are unconfigured

How do you change gmail to sync less often?
Thanks
The drain is not that bad, I always have mine on normal sync and drain is expected but not as bad it it seems using Gmail app.
I use Exchange on the Samsung App and that drains battery as there's a bug in the source code but not sure how that affects POP3/Imap.
It's a smartphone at the end of the day just enjoy it and charge nightly
Email App Error
Hi,
I am facing an error with my email app. Since i upgraed t GB 2.3.6 the app wont mark messages as read as soon as it is read. If i open the gmail app and mark a mail as read, then after a few minutes the email app also marks it as read, else stays as unread. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
I really like my Rezound but it seems like the built-in task killer is killing off all of my apps that need sync and/or push notifications. I saw that the OTA update was set to fix that it was killing off email syncs, and it did fix that, my email app syncs all the time now.
However, my facebook widget, facebook messenger app, yahoo messenger app, yahoo mail app; they work fine for about 8-10 hours, then after that they just dont update anymore at all. When a new email hits my yahoo account, it stops getting push notifications, when someone sends me a new facebook message, my facebook messenger app doesnt get the notification, etc. This really sucks. The only way I've been able to get them to work again is, every morning after waking up, I have to power down and restart the phone 2 or 3 times to get them all back working. But usually by the end of my day, they've all stopped again.
Any ideas?
Bump
Anybody experience this too?
Do you mean the HTC power management scheme? Because I don't remember a task-killer being installed.. Forgive me if there is because I haven't seen stock since about a week after I got the phone. Maybe try setting the power management to performance mode and grabbing an app like Juice Defender that's a bit more customizable.
To piggyback on what MrSmith said (speaking from personal experience), if your battery gets to the point where your phone goes into power save mode, background data and/or auto sync may be turning off, and it doesn't always turn back on.

Mine is in Performance mode. Gingerbread comes with a task manager built in. One of the big issues that the OTA update fixed was the fact that the built-in task manager was killing off the email sync in the background (according to the official description of the update).
I'm assuming that the task manager is auto-killing a lot of stuff as well too. My facebook widget almost never updates after a few hours after rebooting.
I'm still on 100% stock. I guess at some point I'll unlock the bootloader, root it, and go with a new ROM. I'm not real familiar with the process for doing that with an HTC. I came from the Samsung Galaxy S world. It was so much easier to root and switch ROMs, etc.
Hey all,
I got the Tmobile version of the S6 Edge yesterday and the battery life seemed pretty decent as long as wifi was off - at least until I added my email accounts to my phone.
I've noticed that the Email Sync is taking up a ton of battery on my phone - according to the battery usage meter Email Sync is using 19% with the next highest being the screen at 3%! Its only been on for 5 hours and its already at 42%.
I did add a lot of accounts - 7 total all either exchange or microsoft live/outlook accounts and all setup to download a months worth of emails and push new emails as they arrive. However, with every other phone I've used this hasn't been an issue (two most recent were a Nexus 5 and an LG G3).
Is anyone else having abnormally high battery drain from Email Sync using the native email client? And if so, how did you go about fixing it?

I am having the exact same issue with only 3 accounts- looking for solutions...
This is the main issue I'm having. It was draining 5-10% an hour while not in use due to email sync. I have one email set up for that. I have it set to manual sync now and I'm only losing 1% an hour while not in use. I have the Volte option and Wifi options turned on (but not wifi itself) with no draining issues like other people.
I had the same drain. So I downloaded another email app and been using that instead.
Same issue here, abandoned it for another app, Waiting for a solution.
Did the same honestly - using mailwise right now but it isn't as full-featured as the native Samsung one. What is everyone else using?
Does the high email battery usuage cause Google Service battery drain for anyone else? I browse Reddit for about 30-50 mins each night before going to bed and it usually drops 10-15% but when I wake up, Screen is never on the top of battery usage. It's usually Google Services followed by email, and other stuff. VoLTE and Wifi scanning/calling is turned off for me and I leave location off until I need it so does anyone have any idea?

I have 3 accounts as well and email is draining my battery
Are you people talking bout the Gmail app also or just Email app? If you guys add those accounts to Gmail app does it do the same thing?
I am using the Gmail app for Gmail and the Samsung app for MSN and Exchange ActiveSync for work I have since removed the Samsung accounts and installed CloudMagic and I'm going to see how that works
I too have The same problem since yesterday. And I only use one account.. so a solution would be welcome.
Edit: I use the email app not the Gmail.

Last night I moved my exchange active sync account and my msn account to cloud magic, left my gmail account in the gmail app and deleted the accounts from the samsung mail app and after a little over 3 hours I still have 95% battery life. Very happy with these results so far.

Had the same problem I am on day 3 with my edge. Think I have found a solution, I have the stock app running with 4 mail accounts 3 gmail and one outlook. I have used the stock app because i like the interface. I also use Gmail with the same 4 mail accounts as when the push to my Moto 360 i can reply only using the Gmail app. I have also 1 gmail running in the inbox app.
The samsung app was using by far the most system resources and battery.
This is what i tried, mail pushes ok, and the email not showing in the battery use list.
Go into the email app then more top right. Go to settings, click on an account, scroll to sync schedule and press, set sync schedule to auto (when received) in top field. Turn off peak schedule green switch to disable. Back out and repeat with other accounts mail will now push to phone. if you want to sync a month or so back do that first until you have mail on device then follow the above steps. Seems to work fine. Without the above steps the mail app would eventually calm down after caching all previous mail. Gmail etc caches in the cloud whereas the samsung app needs to retrieve it.
me too
Just wanted to add that I also have ridiculous battery drain from emailsync. I have only one exchange email attached to the email app and it has kept my cell radio on almost constantly today. I just removed my exchange account and I'll report back if this changes my battery life. Turning mail to push instead of syncing did not appear to fix anything.

Emailsync is the problem
Hi
Same problem here with emailsync killing my battery.
Tried the solution suggested, disabled Sync schedule and made sure
Sync was set to push (auto when recieved) and the results are the same.
Emailsync is using 60% battery consumption.
Need a resolution quickly, otherwise will take the phone back.
N
Same here. Ditched the stock email app and installed Type Mail(formerly Blue Mail) so will see how it goes.
Although the stock email app is ok, Type Mail is by far the best I've used. And I've tried them all!!
Hi all as far back as I can remember the email app always used a lot more battery than Gmail . For the last 6 years I have used Google to collect and emulate the other accounts.
On my galaxy s2 it meant the battery difference was between 6 hours use on email and over 12 hours using Gmail I am guessing it's not changed over the years.
set email sync to 2 hours
i have the same problem.
battery drains in 6-8 hours max and device becomes hot.
looking at the battery usage, the email sync service is keeping the device awake all the type.
it means it's never sleeping.
i'll try two things:
1- disable email sync push or auto service and set it scheduled (every 2 hours or any other parameter)
that seems working for the last 30 minutes. device is cool now and i only lost 1% even using whatsapp. will try it for longer period.
2- if this doesn't work, i'll move exchange active sync to the Gmail app. there is an app on apkmirror that allows you to do so or use a third party email service like cloud magic.
fingers crossed...
switched to Type Mail, so far so good right now.
update
switched to Typemail and battery is at 84% at 11:30am, huge difference. (ONE DRAWBACK - cant sync Exchange Calendar, when i do add my business email account, Emailsync still goes nuts even with emails disabled and calendar ON sync.)
Emailsync was killing it, at the end of most days, phone would be dead at 4pm. Im a heavy user of phone, sms, and email, 3 core features that shouldnt be draining the battery that much.
So until an update is out, STAY THE AWAY FROM NATIVE EMAIL APP. Its a battery killer, and you will not get your utilisation out of your Edge.
Anyone else find any other solutions to this issue with Emailsync???
