hi guys,
Hopefully this is the right forum but if it is not, i apologize. Anyway, i recently moved from a GB rom to ICS rom (AOKP and now on SHOstock2) and i have to say that i LOVE SHOstock. however, there is one issue that is shaping up to be a showstopper for me and that is the Exchange service that is killing my battery as well as giving me some other problems like push emails not coming through every once in a while. i did quite a bit of reading both here and on google and from what i can tell, the issue with Exchange service killing battery and misbehaving is actually a problem with ICS and not a particular rom. On GB, i used to get about 1-3% per hour drain and now i am at about 15% and i can see that mail.exchange is keeping the phone awake most of the time with a wakelock (unplugged at 6am today and i am seeing about 3 hours of wakelock).
i already tried some of the suggestions that are out there like removing the calender sync, deleting and readding the account, using different mail clients etc.. but all have the same exact result. am i screwed? do i have to go back to GB if i want to keep my Exchange?
while i am at it, anybody else notice some issues with Wifi switching? it takes me about 2 minutes to get data after i turn wifi off and i already tried 3 different modems including the latest leaked one.
thanks in advance.
I'm on AOKP and my exchange works just fine. No battery drain issues or anything. No issues with the wifi switching either. Unplugged for 4 hours so far today and at 94% right now.
Did you do full wipes between flashing?
No issue here with Exchange, I run my own server and do not use autodiscover for settings. No abnormal battery drain. However, I have read that some are experiencing drain and its normally due to configuration of the account on the device. What to change exactly, I'm not sure but double check your settings.

yep, full wipe between flashes as well as cache wipe and delvik wipe.

i triple checked my settings and they are actually identical to the settings that i had when i was on GB. this is such a weird thing since it happened both on AOKP and on SHOstock and i already tried different modems.
checkout enhanced email, otherwise ya definately do a full wipe backup your stuff, i had the problem then i formatted my internal sd card, and in ClockworkMod i wiped cache/dalvik/data fixed my problems right up
i am using Enhanced Email right now (i much prefer it to anything else i tried). i am doing a few more tests but if i can't get it to work, i am going to do full wipe and flash SHOstock again and see if it helped.

Were you having these issues on the stock email app? I've read that the calendar sync from enhanced email caused a big battery drain.
I did try the stock email and it was actually worse. Oh and I have Calender sync disabled in both email clients.

Is your phone abnormally warm? I had an issue with something not syncing correctly, so exchange was constantly trying to sync and killing the battery. I deleted the accounts and re-added, syncing things one at a time and it worked.
I run two exchange accounts, my work and personal, and I have no issues now.
Aokp here, not a single issue to report with exchange

alright, i once again disabled all calender syncs and removed and re added the exchange account. with Enhanced Email, so far i don't see the exchange service acting weird so i will monitor it through the day and report back.
alright, another update:
after switching to enhanced email and disabling calender sync, i did a few more tests yesterday. i charged my phone to 100%, reset all the timers and left it over night. i woke up today to 94% battery and deep sleep was about 98% and there was only about 8 seconds of wake locks from email. it looks like everything is working as it should now but i will update again if the issue returns.
I sync my own exchange server as well as the one I administer from work. I too had random sync failures and drain using the stock Samsung email app included in shostock. The Samsung email app from GB was fine.
The ICS email app from CM9/AOKP works great. Only thing missing is sync scheduling. Quiet hours is a decent replacement. Looks like you found a workaround, just saying you're not alone.

I've had nothing but issues with the stock ICS Email/Exchange app, it won't recognize/authenticate me - no issues when using GB.
However, K9 and Touchdown both work fine. Touchdown works so well I was planning on buying it but now I read some reviews where they are not supporting rooted/custom roms so I may just stick with K9.
I have been on all of the versions of Shostock2 and I have not had any issues with exchange other than when I flashed V1 where I had exchange wake lock issues. I resolved it by wiping and re flashing and have had no issues since.

No Exchange issues to report, un-modded yakju IMM76I OTA.
I work for a big corporation, so I connect to Exchange servers supported by corporate IT.
I'm currently on I9100XWLP7, but this is already the third ICS version where this happens randomly. I always did a full wipe before and after flashing, and I did not restore any Settings using Titanium Backup (in fact, restoring System Settings always causes trouble).
The Problem is not the application (K9, Social Hub, Android stock ecc.) you are using, but the stock Exchange ActiveSync implementation of ICS. This Problem also happens on some ICS 4.0.4 Nexus, so actually there is no hope for a decent solution with the current 4.0.3 on the SGS2.
Deleting and re-adding the accounts helps for some days, or even weeks, but eventually it will reappear.
I noticed that disconnections between the Server and the device seem to be crucial for this to happen. The last time I did a full wipe the SGS2 worked flawlessly for about one week, until we had a Problem with the HDSL in our company. After restoring the connection, the Problem reappeared and since them every now and then the SGS2 gets hot and I have a massive battery drain, no mather what Settings (even Default Settings don't work).
This does not happen on any device with GB.
Stopping the Exchange Services sometimes helps. They will be restarted next time you open the email app. If you are lucky, than it's solved for some hours, if not, it continues to cause massive wakelocks.
You described my symptoms exactly.
Do you know if Touchdown uses the same service or implemented their own?

Touchdown works for me on rooted and custom roms. It just became officially supported at work, and custom roms are explicitly included by my IT department.

I'm on stock / rooted 4.5.91 for ATT Atrix. Prior to the GB update I was having daily issues with my exchange email, where I would get a "Connection Error" and only removing the account, rebooting, and re-adding the account would get it temporarily resolved. It would work for 1-2 days, then it would have the same issue happen again. Unchecking the "verify certificates" box seemed to help, but again only temporarily.
Now that I'm on GB I've only seen it once, but I'm still frustrated by it. My work email is important (if it was absolutely critical, I'd suck it up an get a BB), and I'm seriously annoyed by connection issues.
I'd like to try the AOSP email.apk and stock Android exchange sync setup, but not sure how to do that from where I am now. I assume it is harder than removing the existing email.apk and installing a new one.
I know the Aura ROM has the AOSP email built in, but not quite ready to go down the unlocked bootloader path. I'd like to keep my warranty in case the AOSP email doesn't work and I need to return the Atrix.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, but are you sure it's not your corpo's fault? We run 4 exchange servers here and we have had no complaints about failed connections or anything of the sort, whether it's android, iPhone or otherwise. I have an Atrix and had it set up with my email since day one and I have had no issues at all.

Nope, not sure. But I do know numerous iOS and other Android users (mostly HTC phones, a few OG Droids) that don't have this issue.
I work at a small company so we have a hosted exchange service, and I had our IT guy remove and re-add the Activesync service for my account. That seemed to help for a day, but then back to the same problem.
I'd be willing to bet it is something that is incompatible between the Atrix and the exchange environment, but I've got limited access / visibility to that, and a variety of data points that do not have issues, so I'm trying this route.
Thanks for the input. If you have suggestions on things I can ask my provider to check / uncheck, I'm open.
Thus doesn't actually answer your question but I got tired of dealing with that from rom to rom so I just bought "enhanced email" from the market. Its $10 and gets around the pin requirement if you want to.
Sent from my Att Atrix 4g unlocked.
I had this start on my Captivate running Serendipity VII a few days ago and it is now completely shut down, no emails getting through. I use Enhanced Email as my email program. Very interested in discovering a solution.
on my BB, it took 30+ mins or even an hour to get emails. My exchange works perfectly on my Atrix, as it did on my Inspire. Its probably your phone
Agreed EE is awesome. We use it on 14 different phones in my office.
Last time I tried to get rid of Corporate Sync I kept getting FC's afterwards.
I recommend using the exchange app included in CM roms. It's based on AOSP but has some mods like email signature, and on your atrix the account will show up next to the google accounts in settings menu.
go download a CM zip from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/nexus-one and then extract system/app/email.apk to your phone and install it. then just add the account in settings.
I had issues with company exchange servers and went to Moxier Mail, they have a free 7 day trial then for $19.00 you get it all, contacts, calendar, email, tasks.....stays connected except when I changed my password (every 60 days). Then I had to remove and reload, but that was only issue....very reliable.....

Would I replace the email.apk with the CM one, or just install it in addition?

Appreciate the help. Got the file extracted then realized I had one more question - do I need to change the name, or is it ok to have 2 "email.apk" applications?
I realize it is a total noob question, but figure better to ask than to screw something up.
you can just install it. the blur version is titled BlurEmail.apk. if a conflict were to arise - it would ask you to overwrite. the system identifies apps differently so just renaming it wont change how it installs.
ex. Google+ shows up as "Google+" but the system seems and calls on com.google.android.apps.plus
I've searched until I'm blue in the face on this and am sorry if i've missed it somewhere, but with any version of ShoStock2 ICS (including the newest 2.2.2) I can't get exchange to show emails newer than 3 weeks ago. Older one's show up fine. Also I can send emails and they will come through on the PC, but never on the phone. I've flashed back to ShoStock 1.9.4 gingerbread, and exchange works flawlessly. I have tried connecting on wifi and over the air, both with the same results. I would very much appreciate any insight you all might have.
Edit: Forgot to mention, exchange works fine on AOKP and Phone-Bricker ICS roms.
No one has any thoughts or help on this?
Hi,
I've installed everything yesterday night. Everything including the exchange servers are working fine on my end. Could it be your setting by any chance?
I didn't use any other kernel, I used cherrypicker.
Exchange seems to be working fine at this end.
Running 2.2.2 and using exchange, no issues here. No to be a smart arse but you did wipe first right?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I always wipe data, cache, and dalvik twice before flashing a new ROM (thanks to the advice of the great group of people on XDA forums), and this is the only one that I've had any issue getting exchange to play nice with. It sets up fine and syncs all of my emails except newer than 3 weeks ago. I've ran at least 10 different ROM's including two other ICS versions with no issue on this. I've tried 4 different ShoStock2 ICS versions beginning all the way back to the the RC1 release, all with this same result. I've tried using different kernels with different releases, removing and resetting the exchange acount, rebooting, connecting on wifi and HSPA+, swapped the email apk, held my breath and stood on my head. Something is missing somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Just to be certain that the problem still exists, I downloaded AOKP and ShoStock2 latest versions last night to try this again. I wiped everything twice prior to flashing and got the same results. Exchange loads every email from today-on with AOKP, but none newer that 3 weeks on ShoStock2. I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but surely someone else has some thought on this. The only thing I have not tried is running a kernel cleaning script. Does anyone think this might help?
The reason why I removed email/exchange apk from my rom was this exactly.
No idea why, but if included with the rom it will just causes problems so I added it as an addon in the kitchen.
I would clear cache/force stop both apps, remove them, then install them again by just grabbing them from the zip file.

Thanks for that reply! At least someone knows I'm not crazy. (I was starting to think I was). I actually ran your ROM a few releases ago, before kitchen was in it and it was pretty smooth. I may have to give it another go. Thanks again for the reply my friend!
Problem solved.
Well, I solved the problem (sort of). I said to hell with fighting to get the exchange working on ShoStock2, and installed LiLChris06's Phone-Bricker 2.5 ROM. This thing is freaking sweet and exchange works like a champ. I've been running this ROM hard now for about two hours with no force-closes, no lag, and the battery seems to be holding up incredibly.
Thanks LiLChris06!!!
Just FYI as i ran into similar problems with OMEGA and SHOStock2 roms, a single exhchange account seemed to run fine, but when i started adding the rest, i had similar issues with it not syncing new mail, and randomly NOT CONNECT to the exchange server in question. everything would setup fine, but eventually the exchange servers would just not update anymore after a couple hours.
if i went into the accounts/sync option in settings, then it would say it synced and would even give a current time, but would never display any new mail. if i went to "refresh" from within the mail app, the account would try to refresh, give an old date of the last refresh and then give the error: "connection error [exchange server name]"
i have not yet tried LilChris's option though, will try that once i get some extra time.

Yea sounds crazy but that's how it worked for many others.
In the early releases when I included I got complaints left and right, when I added it as an addon it worked flawless for everyone.
i can attest to that (so far)..
i would get exchange issues within 1 hour almost certainly..
its been almost a full 20 hours now and i havent had a single exchange hiccup yet.
one thing that might be worth noting also, i think the app is different that LiLChris uses vs what some of the other devs are using.
i have exchange 2003, 2007, 2010 servers that i connect to..
the options for connecting to 2003 and 2010 (as well as 2007) are the same in the email app that LiLChris uses, such as syncing mail, contacts, calendar (only). 2007 allows syncing of tasks, and i know 2010 allows syncing of tasks and sms, which the email app should detect.
i dont sync tasks or sms, so not a big deal to me, but i did wonder if the actual email apps were different, or different versions, or maybe one was just modded? *shrugs*.
I am unable to post in the development threads yes so I thought I would post this here.
I know some have had an issue with the gmail disappearing shortly after opening the email.
This was not an issue for me at first. It started when I activated Adware.
I uninstalled it and gmail is now working fine. After a reboot of course.
Sorry if this has already been noted but I was unable to find it.
Anyone having Bluetooth issues with this rom?
It connects for me but is extremely distorted.
haven't had the BT problem.
i was having that same gmail problem but killing the app and restarting it seems to fix.
my question is, does anyone else have extreme lag and slow down for the long this ROM stays on? if i restart, it's snappy again.

No I haven't had that problem. Just some data issues. Nothing major.
Gmail disappeared again.
I rebooted and gmail is fine.

Could it be the radio?

I never changed the radio before.

I seemed to have luck fixing Gmail just by stopping and exiting the running app and restarting Gmail. A lot quicker than restarting the phone. Though I've only tested this method once last night when Gmail went blank and it fixed it, but it hasn't happened since. I also have AdAway installed still.
I had this issue yesterday when I first flashed this ROM. At first it was just Gmail having the problem of blank emails (my Exchange account was fine), then it reversed and my Gmail was fine but my Exchange went blank. I didn't do any force-stop on Gmail to resolve that issue, and all the force-stopping or rebooting or account removal/readd for my Exchange didn't work. I resorted to reflashing the ROM and so far today I have not had the issue in either Gmail or email.
Try reflashing, and see if you have any better luck.
Had one reboot about an hour after flashing but other than that it's been crazy smooth.

10 posts is kinda exciting :good:
I posted this in another forum, and no response. Hoping someone can help. Perhaps I missed an FAQ somewhere.
I searched and found the "sync is currently experiencing problems it will be back shortly" problem that others are experiencing, but most of the issues seem to be with the contacts. My problem is with the internet sync. See screenshot. Here's what I've tried:
- Searched this forum and Google
- Cleared the stock internet browser data / cache
- Factory reset on previous ROM and tried again
- Flashed another ROM (after full wipe)
- Since I use 2-step authentication, I tried disabling and re-logging in
None of those things worked. Everything is syncing fine except internet. I love the feature, but it is not a showstopper for me. It is important to understand the problem is in the Accounts & sync settings only, so swapping the browser shouldn't make a difference. {Edit: switching to Chrome browser didn't make a difference)
I am on ViperRez 1.0.3, stock browser. Previously, I was on Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 which had the Google Now installed on it. The problem started when the Google Now servers wet down a few days ago. Since then I've had this internet sync problem. Not sure if that is related.
Is there anything I can reset? Any other suggestions? Any more information I should provide?

GOOGLE. and all it side add ons have alot of people and accts.. at any particular time a server can be experiencing maxamim capacity as im sure most of us has seen this happen on face book and good OLD myspace as well. its usually momentary but can last for days.. i get it alot for my email sync but im constantly syncing things.. my contacts too cuz i resync them everyfew days to make sure everythings in google and not just my phone.. hopefully youll see it come back soon.
Thanks, I've been waiting a week but I'll hang on and wait some more. Like I said, not a huge deal but it would be nice again to have that feature.
Have you tried turning that sync off and then back on?
Yes, I try that once a day. Happened on a freshly flashed rom. Just strange.

Same issue (with browser) here. Fresh flash of cm10.1 jb v4.2.2 kindle fire first gen. So?
Since I changed to JB my battery is being drained by google services. I've tried turning off location services, all of google now, and everything that is using google to sync except for mail. I haven't found a solution anywhere online. I've also deleted my exchange and other mail accounts and I still have the problem.
I'm using MeanBean 2.3 and it also did the same thing on MB 1.4.
Any ideas?

I am also seeing this and sometimes Maps or Poynt do the same thing as well. If I look in my power history it will show GPS ON as a full blue line. I also see a solid blue line in the wake portion sometimes when the phone has been sleeping. Both issues will cause the battery to drain very quickly. If I don't catch them in time, my battery won't make it all day. If I go a day without seeing these, the battery lasts all day with plenty to spare. A quick reboot fixes them but I never had these issues before Jelly Bean. My wife has an EVO LTE too and sees these issues as well. Anyone know what is causing these issues? Neither of us have turned on Google Now yet fearing that will make it worse.
Did you do a factory reset after the upgrade to jelly bean? Many reported that helping.

In case anyone ever comes upon this thread and wants an answer, I think the problem is with exchange. I made it manual DL and the Google services stayed on but didn't drain the battery. Reset, location, and other changes didn't seem to help.

I am having the same problem, but I don't have exchange. Just got my phone a week ago, not rooted, completely stock. Today was the first day that the battery abnormally drained, with google services using 50%. Not sure what changed or what happened. Trying to do some research into this as there seems to be a lot of questions out there, but haven't found any answers yet.

I am having this problem every so often also. The phone stays awake 100% of the time due to the google services. I kill it a couple times and usually it stops for awhile. Very annoying, still looking for a fix.

The best way to figure out what is draining your battery is to install Better Battery Stats from the play store. Let it run in the background for a day or two and then check out partial wake locks and alarms. See if there is an app or process that is running out of control. Check all of your settings for syncing gmail, chrome, news and weather, etc. If you can't find some app that is keeping your device awake when it should be resting, then it could just be the phone.
Is there any REAL solution for this issue?
"Google Services" keeps my phone awake 100% of the time sometimes and I get maybe 4 hours of bat till completely dead. I've tried turning off sync, gps, mail, etx still does it. I think it really the Play Store but I cant be sure.

Turn off Autosync then turn it on again and force a full sync, then reboot, I've read somewhere I think in the sense 5 port thread about something like this and I think scottspa or Finz posted this as a solution, try it and let us know...
I've been having hella issues with this recently. Some of the fixes out there work some of the time. Best one I've found is to sign out of Google EVERYTHING, wipe caches, reboot, then resign in. Even sometimes that won't release the wakelock. Yesterday for instance I had to do that, then take it a step further and delete my data from everything with the word Google on it and do 2 reboots before it would go the hell away.

I disable mine.
Use titanium backup. Make the services and play store user apps. Then use greenify on them.

I am running MeanBean with latest firmware. I had this issue yesterday and I tried your fix. So far today, google services has only used 2%. I am curious to see if it stays that way or if the issue will come back.
Thanks
clearing cache and delvik cache seems to work for a little while that it just starts again ok. I only staredt having this issue about 2 weeks ago. That's why I think its the Play Store cause that's when the Play Store updated. Also rebooting seems to relieve the situation temporarily. Its just a pain in you don't look at your phone for a few hours notice 75 percent of your battery is gone.
I had the Google services drain too. I was looking high and low for the cause. Finally solved mine by going to Quick Event app, clicked setting icon (top right), set both Default Reminder and Default Duration to none.. That solved my problem.
So I did a few things and have not had a problem in a week(ish) now. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. I also forced a sync then turned off sync tried to sync again then turned it back on.
I have not had a problem since. In fact I left this phone sitting all weekend from sat morning to this morning and it only used 22% battery. (there was NO use by me)
Just incase anybody is wondering I am on the latest Mean Bean with over clocking and over volt.
