the default Gmail app and google sync is killing my battery all the time,and there's no way to increase that polling frequency.
You guys got any idea about that ??
some script, mod etc etc

Is there any way to set how often data syncs?
I keep background data on generally speaking - but turn off auto-sync. I only want it to sync with the calendar once a day - and want it to check emails once every hour etc.
I can't find anywhere to set the time interval between auto syncs though - and can't find a suitable app for this either?
Hi everyone,
I know that google now has C2DM for Push Notifications. I know that the Facebook Android app uses that server now to decrease battery usage. Is there any Twitter app in Android that uses C2DM so that I can decrease my battery usage? I'm also using eBuddy as the IM which also uses C2DM.
Regards and thanks
Nobody knows?
only one
tweet pusher
If facebook uses c2dm then c2dm sucks I rarely get facebook updates from the app. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Hello, I've got a little question in order to improve my battery life.
If I set auto sync off, will help me with battery? For example, gmail is every time working when auto sync is on? Or contacts, are every time being sync?
And when I'm not on WiFi (when I haven't got ibterbet). Is trying to sync too?
Maybe is better to set tasker for making a sync every x hours, 8 for example, is it? What can you tell me about? Thanks!

Turning OFF auto-sync will surely save your battery as your applications won't try to connect to the internet when Wifi/GPRS is not available. You'll see a good increase in battery life. As it is always easy to turn ON auto sync through the power widget or notification bar, you won't find it difficult turning it ON when you need it.
Ok so I can use tasker, for sync every 8 hours for example. So can you confirm If does exist any way for setting push notifications for gmail?
Thanks

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 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:
