I've decided recently that six hours of battery from my Nexus S is not going to cut it any more. I need to keep using Exchange (the main culprit), but not necessarily all day.
I'm looking for an app that will disable Exchange's sync (but nothing else) when run. I plan to run it through Llama while at work so that I don't need to manually disable it.
Any thoughts as to an app that might work?

Hi @all,
I have a problem. I´ve got my mobile data flat today. Everything is working fine but my X10 (or an app) is transmitting all the time. In 5 hours 50MB had been transmitted without doing anything on the phone. The phone was only in idle mode on the desk.
So how to find out which app is transmitting? NetCounter only shows that 50MB are transmitted but not from which app.
So, the point is that my battery drains very fast.
And the second point is, that after 200MB my UMTS flat is converted to a GPRS flat.
Can you help me?
Quite a few people reported this problem with data transfer.
You might want to disable Automatic search for updates in Settings, About Phone, Software update and also somebody said that disabling google talk might help.
Give it a try.
Thx. How do I disable google talk?
I didn't try but i assume you can use a startup auditor or any other app to do that.
Uncheck it and then restart the phone.
I had the problem with the engadget widget.
With searching for updates and this app every day my mobile made up to 150mb traffic...

Disable 'background data usage' under data synchronization in settings. Gtalk does infact use a lot of data... but you may also lose auto sync of your calendar due to this.
Hm... I don´t want to lose my calender sync. so I will keep this option on.
I made a Reset on my phone and will try to detect which app is causing this data usage by installing app by app and check the data transmission.
Seems, that an app caused the high data usage.
Since the reset (yesterday) the data usage is normal. I´ve now installed some basic apps like
Netcounter
Home++
Beautiful widgets
and everything is ok.
So now the phone is turned on since 18 hours with data enabled background data usage to sync gmail and calender and the used traffic is about 2 MB with updating the weather widget and received 4 mails.
So my conclusion is, that it has nothing to do with gmail/gtalk/calender sync.
Thanks anyway for all your help.
it was me that said google talk a few days ago caused me to use 70mb in about 6 hours, i now use an app called taskpanel and ive got google talk set to auto kill and everything else set to ignore. since then ive had no problems with data usage and all my calendars and mail etc works as it should.

im pretty sure if you started up google talk you would have the same problem again, ive been having it intermittently since i got the phone about twice every week but since i killed it its not happened once.
I´m not using Google Talk, so I have never started it bevore. But to be sure I will disable it by taskpanel.
GEEEEEZZZZZ
I just got my X10 three days ago, did the 2.1 upgrade two days ago and have already spent R150 just on data...its rediculous!!!!
Previously i had the Sony ericsson p1i and the X1i and didnt have this problem.
What app can i dounload to detect how much MB is being used and what app is using it.
How do i disable google talk?

I think the only way is to download an app from market called titanium backup
and select to disable (or uninstall it)
but to do it you will have to root your phone
If you remove gtalk you can't use market any more.

its rediculous...there must be an app to block, limit data and tell us which app is consuming most MB.
PLS guys pls help me out...pls guys pls
Has anyone been prompted with a message saying they have too many devices (10) registered and need to deauthorize devices before being able to use it on other phones? I only have 2 phones and a Logitech revue that uses the streaming function of the app, but I've ran probably 20 different roms and I'm guessing each rom is considered a new device through the app.
Any work arounds?

Yeah this just happened to me the other day. I haven't checked to see if restoring app+data (yes I know it isn't a good idea) might avoid your newly flashed rom being counted as a new phone. May be something to try.
Worst case scenario is to log into your google music account (which you can do in the mobile browser) and clear all of the ADR6425 phones in there to start fresh. Might have to do this periodically to keep from getting that pop up.
Yup, this is normal. I am currently in the same boat with my work email. Both have a limited number of 'devices' at once.
If you click on (in google music) settings, music settings You'll see the list of devices attached to your account.
Every time you flash and login, it registers a new device. Just wipe them out whenever it gets too full.
I figured it'd be an easy fix like that. Thanks guys.

First off, I'm hoping this is in the right place. Seemed appropriate, but feel free to move if not.
After searching the interwebs, I have not been able to find anything similar, so I was wondering if anyone knows of an app to:
Auto enable wifi or data when specific apps (more than one app) are opened, so I'm not constantly playing with enable widgets every time I try to open my internet app.
Auto 3g does the job, but you have to set up each individual app, I'm more so looking for something to recognize a list of pre-selected apps that knows to enable data when said apps are opened.
I almost always keep my wifi, data, bt, gps off, when not in use due to the crappy battery of my Amaze, so I figure this would make life a little easier and spare the screen being on for any longer than it needs to be.
Thanks in advanced.

I have not used the maps app at all today, and my usage shows its been used for an hour and a half. Other than Google now, what should be using maps that often?

It's not like that. Just like whatsapp which stays always on to keep you connected, Google maps also stays on even though you don't open it as a system background process although you don't need it. The best way to remove this is to root your phone and uninstall this 'bloatware'

There's no need to delete Google Maps. You just need to regain some control from the app. By default it sends location data to Google. This periodic data 'seepage' also seems to have the affect of 'waking' the phone from deep sleep. Silly, especially since Google wrote the damn OS.
Anyway, this issue has been covered in other threads; you should search, there are more precise instructions out there
...or you can rely on my questionable memory; as I recall-
- Go into Google Maps
- Choose Settings
- Choose Location Settings
- Un-check "Report From This Device"
Also, make sure (on same screen) that Enable Location Sharing is NOT checked and that any of the other location-specific items on the same screen are un-checked.
If you're wondering about 'Location Reporting' under Background Location Reporting, mine is set to 'Detect your location' (thus I think this setting is OK).
Try this out. For me, Gmaps no longer uses data (or wakes the phone) unless I'm explicitly using it.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. I set it up the way you suggested and I'll see how it works over the next day or so.
You could the free app Greenify as well. Anything that runs in the background without your permission will get shut down by it.

Excellent app, but it does require root privileges.

It's desirable (to many) to have at least some background apps able to run/consume data. Yes, you can disable all (or ration out when they're 'allowed' to run, but then you lose out on the full capabilities of the device.
Trust me, having come from Sprint and a GS2, I am well versed in shutting down and restricting apps. What I LOVE about my GS4 is that I can let virtually all apps run (within reason, and w/exception of Gmaps as noted above) and I still have 28-40 hour battery cycles.
Just be wary of 'out of control' apps. Tame them, freeze them, or delete them, but only as a last resort would I disable all background apps.

I agree. Just saying. Those apps that you don't want to run, you can tell Greenify which ones to disallow access. A one stop shop, as it were.

My bad. For some reason I thought your response said "disable all background apps". Thx for the app tip.
If this is some kind of duplicate I apologize, no set of keywords I used to search would pull up a topic on my delimma.
I need an app to disable auto-start on my phone. I want them to stop running and stay stopped. Problem is, the app I used on my last HTC will stop them, but when I go back in I see 30 apps running again.
Can anyone recommend a good task/app manager that will kill running apps and make them STAY killed until I use them again?
FYI, I'm fine with paid apps, rarely is something worth having for free.
Any suggestions?
What you're trying to do is counter-productive., and hasn't been necessary for roughly 3 years.
