Hey,
I often use the ultra battery saving mode but i noticed that Gmail stops syncing mails, wich is fine during battery saving. But after deactivating battery saver it does not turn on and has to be activated in Gmails settings. Anyone else has this issue? I actually missed 2 important emails this week because i didnt notice Gmail was not syncing.
Anyone knows how to fix it besides using another email client?
PS: I noticed something similar back when i had my S8+.

Good morning xda-users.
ive got a questions - as already mentioned in topic - concerning battery drain during flightmode.
As everbody knows in flightmode all connections are off, which can save a bit of battery.
But what about programms, that are configured to get information over and about the connection. E.g. email sync every 2 hours from 2 imap accounts, time sync and especially WMLonglife which I configured that it cuts off the internet connection when its 60 seconds in idle -> so WMLonglife have to check every 60 seconds if programm is using the internet connection, if not wmll disables the connection.
would it be worth to disable that processes over night or wouldnt it be worth concerning battery drainage.

For the email, you can just adjust the off-peak times so that emails are not checked at night.
I'm not sure if your question was regarding not running wmll at night so that it doesn't drain the battery when it runs it's checks? If that is the case then I don't think you have anything to worry about as I don't think that it checks every 60sec, as that would be wasteful. I'm guessing instead it only checks if the data connection is active, so if data is off, it doesn't do anything. Also, I'm guessing that the way it checks for data, it barely adds any drainage whatsoever; you might want to ask the app developer the specifics there.
Thanks for ure reply, regarding email retrieval times...didnt find an option to configure a timespace when I want to receive the mails...As mentioned im using 2 imap accounts...earlier when i was using pop3 accounts like hotmail there was an option to confgure it...
Last night I disabled alle data connections at wmll: lost 2% of battery.
Two days ago with email syncing every 2 hours, time syncing, facebook syncing, wmll ive lost 6% in flightmode.
I think I will code an programm for me, which disables the useless data services during flightmode.
Thanks anyway

Today the phone drained from fully charged to 20% in some hours. Noticed the sync icon was on despite sync setting was off. Looked in accounts, and the calendar was trying to sync\ seemed stuck.
Enabled sync then unchecked calendar and checked it again, for now it seems ok.
Any ideas what may have caused this? If this happens it can drain the phone fast
switch off data in background , may be solve your problem ...

You probably have auto sync on as well...
background data and auto sync was off...
Looked in settings and under account noticed that the calendar sync was stuck\trying to sync every few minutes.
So enable auto sync, uncheck then check calendar again, then turn off auto sync seems to have worked.
In normal use the battery doesnt last long, this bug drained the phone in 8 hours.
Hi guys,
Very odd problem with the Mail application on my Thunderbolt. Sometimes it refuses to automatically download mail and sync during peak times and the only explanation I can think of is that the system is in power save mode even though I have power save disabled.
-Auto-sync is enabled
-Background Data is enabled
-Power saver is totally disabled
-Update schedule is set to Every Day and within the peak times.
-Not using juice defender or task killer
-Stock android.. just did a clean install with the MR2
-Set to 15 minute intervals, 8am to 11pm peak time.
I'm pretty savvy with the android system and honestly am at a loss as to the reason why this happens. I can sometimes fix it by toggling the background data and sync multiple times but I do not have a clear cut solution yet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I have seen people have problems with synching while using task killers that have an auto-kill mode and people who use Juice Defender.
Yep, not using a task killer as those are proven to be useless
What about Juice Defender, do you use that? Also you listed that you have your synch schedule set for everyday during peak times...do you mean once a day on peak times or what interval do you have it set as?
Do you notice any other app that uses an internet connection malfunctioning during the day?
15 minute intervals during peak times. My peak times are 8:00am to 11:00pm. I don't really notice any other app besides mail malfunctioning. But then again I don't really have any apps that use the internet. Facebook seems to be giving me notifications on time. It's really just the mail app which refuses to update automatically. Some tinkering around and syncing all seems to sometimes fix it but i have no clue how. Such an odd and annoying problem.

You don't mention what you are trying to sync with the mail app, but I had the same problem with my Incredible and exchange. After deleting and restoring my settings 4 times, I bought Touchdown for $20 on the market and have never looked back. They offer a fully functional 30 day trial. If its exchange you are trying to sync, its the way to go.

It's actually a gmail account i'm trying to sync. I think it's a problem with the mail app since i get facebook notifications on time. Very very frustrating. The mail app just refuses to sync properly.
After upgrading to Gingerbread I noticed that my phone is now using about 500-800mb a day. I notice my battery is is dead in 5 hours. I tracked it down to:
com.motorola.blur.service.main:10012
Its using 1mb about every minute.
I tried adjusting a few settings nothing.
I'm on Bell Canada, is anyone else noticing this? My corporate sync also stopped working.
If anyone could check their phone and let me know it would be muchly appreciated.
My corp sync works push mail stopped, its configured correctly ... you'll just have to trust me. The manual sync works.
I updated last night and I'm having the same problem.
Basically either I leave background data on, and com.motorola.service.com eats through my battery and downloads 100megs an hour, or I turn background data off, and everything is fine, but I don't get emails anymore.
Does anyone know what's going on? My phone was working great before, and I wouldn't have willingly traded up for a new color scheme and profiles (useless), if it meant I lost my email, and didn't even get new Swype or Chat...
I've had my SGS2 for several months now and haven't had too many issues up until 1-2 weeks ago. I have Hotmail setup with EAS and push on the phone and normally I'd get through a day without charging my phone. However about 2 weeks ago I was overseas and had no internet coverage, I added a couple of contacts in and 1/4 of them synced. The other 3 haven't no matter what I tried (Editing, deleting & re-adding via Vcard, deleting and manually adding) which I think *may* be a possible cause of Exchange consuming a lot of battery power.
Anyhow I installed BBS as the phone battery graph shows the phone being awake a lot, and sure enough Exchange is causing a lot of wakes, but there's also wakes I have no idea what they are from.
Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing Exchange & my battery issue? Screenshots attached.
Install CPU Spy for the store. It'll probably show your phone is not using its deep sleep state, may be not even the lower CPU frequencies either.
This happened to me once also, and the problem was with the Mail Exchange as you're guessing.
One quick way to diagnose that is to do the following.
Go to
System Settings --> Applications --> Running
Find Email and Exchange Services, click on it and Stop everthing you can.
After confirming these services have stopped, go back to CPU spy, click on your menu soft key, and Reset Timers. This will clear the times your phone has spent in each CPU state. Now, exit CPU Spy, lock your phone and return in 10 mins or so. Open CPU Spy, it should show that for most of that time your phone has been in Deep Sleep and has used the lower CPU States a little bit also.
When this happened to me it got so bad that the phone was continously 'locked' on 1200Mhz. Stoping Exchange services was the only way it would 'unlock'.
I had the LUXURY of having being able to reflash my rom and getting rid of the problem (which may have been caused when i updated my rom without wiping), but i don't think you are rooted / using a custom rom.
In which case it's probably a good idea to find your Email and Exchange app in --> Manage Apps --> All, and clearing Cache and Data for both. Note you'll loose all your emails and settings, (which you'll be able to retreive when you resync it etc).
I was having same problem with the stock email. My battery which used to last about 12h heavy usage now doesn't last 7h idle. I fully charged last night and removed from charge before going to sleep, woke up this morning battery was drained.
The exchange email program wasn't allowing the system to deep sleep which was being a pain, after much reading everywhere I decided to delete my exchange accounts (hotmail, gmail), clear the cache and restart the exchange config.
At the moment, seems to have worked but many people who have done this have said that with the time the problem will return so it's not a fix really.
I'm willing to see how long it will work, give it a try as well.
If doesn't work, try K9, touchdown or a any other alternative email client of your like but don't forget to remove your account from the stock. When I removed my accounts from the stock email program, my battery went only 2% down in over 2 hours.

Ok, last night the exchange has started playing around again. Deleted my accounts and installed Touchdown.
It has made a incredible difference, in 4 hours my battery has gone down 8%.
My only problem with touchdown is that it doesnt push emails to my both accounts simultaneously, I need to physically switch account to receive those emails.
I also tried K9 but as I couldnt set up my hotmail account it didnt work for me.
