Right, so there is the well known Exchange service draing the battery issue with the i9100. I'm on LP7 stock rooted on the 3 network, and this is driving me insane.
I reset my phone to fix my battery problems, and narrowed it down to the Exchange/Active Sync stuff.
The query I have is this:
When i set up my [email protected] account in the samsung email app (my junk email address), it sets up as a straightforward, non-exchange email account.
When i set up my [email protected] address (my main email), it forces me to put it in as an exchange service account, which I don't want as it causes the battery issues.
Any advice? Is this something to do with email settings in the accounts themselves? i can't think of any reason why.

I just went to check my email through the standard email app and all my exchange accounts were suddenly deleted. I'm running a completely stock Vibrant, unrooted. Anyone know what might of caused this? It's not a huge deal cause I can just set them up again and sync but putting in the settings for multiple exchange accounts is tedious.
I added a corporate account (just for syncing the calendar, not corp email) last week and ever since "Email" shows up as using about 15% of the battery. It was never on the list before as I never used any Email accounts. I wud just use the native Gmail app.
When adding the corporate email account, I put the settings as how often to check "Never" and Number of days to sync to "One" (just to be safe). And yet the Email service is running and using up battery. This is on my Nexus S 4G running Cyanogen Mod 7 (Gingerbread).
Any advice on how to stop this service permanently or what settings to change so it does not check for email (with my corp account am pretty sure).
So I'm trying to add a second exchange account to my phone using the stock e-mail app (CM7). My regular account is a normal [email protected] address, and I've had it on my phone since I got it.
My other new account is a shared email address. Basically it's setup as [email protected], but I still use my regular username/password to log into it. OWA and Outlook handle this without any problem, but I'm mystified as to how to handle it with the stock email app. I've tried plenty of combinations of Domain\username\[email protected] and similar ones, but no luck so far
Is this even possible? I'm trying to avoid plunking down $20 for Touchdown if at all possible.
Just a bump to see if anyone's been able to tackle this issue. I'm still stumped.
Anyone else having problems getting the native HTC email to sync correctly? I have an Exchange account and 3 IMAP accounts and the IMAP accounts will not sync on a regular basis. I loaded up Enhanced Email and it works fine.
I checked as many setting as I could and all appears to be set correctly: wireless networks all set to never sleep, background data and auto-sync both checked
I can keep using Enhanced Email but it's aggravating that I can't get the HTC app to work correctly.
Anyone have any ideas?
I figured it out. When I first got the phone and went through the setup I got a 504 gateway error. I also got there 504 gateway error when initially trying to set up my email accounts. Called customer service and they said to skip out of the setup and do everything manually. She said there was a glitch in the software and that the Gmail and Yahoo account setups didn't work and that all accounts needed to be set up through the IMAP process. Needless to say this is what was causing my problem.
To correct the email sync issue I deleted all of my accounts and set them up through the Gmail and Yahoo account set up process and all appears to be working now.
I am having the same problem so I just tried this option of setting up my yahoo accounts through the set up process. It does appear to receive email much faster but there are some downsides.
My Yahoo inbox (on the website) and the inbox on my Rezound are not completely synced now. The app has the option of downloading up to 30 days of email. Mail older than 30 days doesn't show up on the phone even if it's in your inbox on the website. Conversely, email that I deleted or moved from my inbox some time ago has now magically reappeared on my phone.
Another problem is that my mail folders that I set up on the website do not appear on the Rezound mail app anymore.
Seems the negatives are too numerous to have better syncing. I'm switching back to the manual setup as all the problems I mentioned above are not there and I'll just put up with poor syncing for now.
Hello all,
I'm posting this after having researched online and having found nothing concrete regarding the topic. I had setup my google apps for work as an exchange account on my S6 edge via the stock email app. I had set the sync for automatic and also opted to sync up to 3 days of emails. I didn't ask the app to sync anything else. By evening, the phone was down to 45% battery with email sync accounting for 15% of the drain!
I know there may be people that suggest to use another app and/ or to setup the google apps for work as a normal gmail account. I have already done this but the speed of the push service isn't that great as that on exchange. In exchange it's instantaneous but as a normal gmail id the push is quite delayed. Coming from iOS, I have used the exchange server settings on the Apple Mail app and it was wonderful with emails pushed instantaneously yet not denting the battery much.
Is there any solution to the battery drain problem on exchange servers? Really appreciate it.
