Hello,
I have 4500+ contacts and 3600+ SMS.
When phone receives those contacts its battery instantly is starting to drain like crazy. I'm talking about 6 hours max in standby mode. SMS adds more to drainage, but not significant.
This is not device specific as those contacts have been on: HTC HD2, Galaxy S2, HTC One X, HTC Sensation XL and few more, but only android devices. Various roms on all devices except sensation.
Stock firmware had same issue.
Latest test was on HD2 (Nexus HD2 HWA rom, ver 2.3):
~300 contacts; 0 SMS; Exchange service; GPS, for about an hour; calls didn't exceed 2 hours, I think it's somewhere around hour actually.
8 to 20:00 without charging I had 30% left on battery.
4500 contacts and battery was at 20% mark at ~12:00
Anyone got something to say about this? Not having those contacts is not an option. Device that needs to work properly with those contacts is One X.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that contacts do not get synced at all. Last test was admitted by offline importing them with all syncs off, even e-mail.
Also I can't post in android general.
Have you ran a battery monitor app to see what exactly is using the battery?
I would suggest that you are making unreasonable demands of the phone - if 4500 contacts is causing it to have to work too hard - probably constantly syncronising - then you will probably have no choice but to change the way you do things.

Badass battery didn't show anything extraordinary. Tried without any synchronization, offline importing contacts.
I have really tested this theory of contacts draining battery so I'm certain it's only that.

Hi,
I was inspecting the similar problem and made some research at.
The problem is not in Android or the number of contacts, but the mail app that has a long time known bug which cause the battery drain.
If you are using just Gmail there are not problems.
Problematic app is corporate mail app which comes with the system.
Solutions:
1. Try to use some alternative corporate mail app from Google Play.
2. Export all contacts from corporate account to you Google account and use Gmail.
android phone is the costs of electricity
Simply sounds like you're syncing a lot of data a lot of the time. There's nothing that's magically going to save your battery if you're taxing it like that.

Hi,
I was expecting the same problem and found that it is related to usage of Exchange service (Corporate email account).
The bug was reported multiple times:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=30503
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253583
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307
They say that the problem was fixed, but when I checked the last time - it still exists.
Thank you for your answers.
Nothing to do with exchange or sync.
First, my HD2 lives on one charge 16+ hours with corporate account and syncs.
Please read this carefully.
Last test on HD2 was done with offline importing contacts, without any sync.
Without corporate account. Without any apps downloaded. Without WiFi on. Without BT on. Nothing, really nothing. Just contacts and google account with sync off (Just because stupid thing did't allow me to import contacts without it)
That is all.
btw, we have 500+ android devices and all of them run exchange service and none have reported battery issues. I got 2 android phones and none of them ever experienced battery drain from exchange and yet they just die when I put all those contacts.
Once again: I assure you that issue has nothing to do with exchange a.k.a. corporate account, as tests have been done without those in any form.
Woah dude. I'd say, you have far too many contacts and SMS. Lol. I think it has something to do with the syncing process? It will sure drain your battery like crazy if you're syncing thousands of contacts and messages.

Please don't flame me .... I know about the search before asking.
Anyway...
Here is the issue: I am on call for a major data center every other week 24X7. We use e-mail as our alert system for infrastruce issues (power - HVAC - other). Until last Tuesday we used Blackberries with very good success. Then some brass in our upper mangement decided all corporate phones would be WinMo. Our mail system is Exchange so it makes sense right? I was on AT&T so I was issued a FUZE the next day. I kinda like the Winmo OS ... not so much the TouchFLO for e-mail atleast. But the big issue is the phone going to sleep (black screen) and dropping the network connection - no e-mail - no good. Turn off the sleep mode and the battery is dead by lunch. At other times for no apparent reason I simply do not get the mail until I manualy sync. I see lots of post regarding hacks/mods to fix these issues. However, I do not see myself hacking the phone to fix it as it is company owned. Question, is there an At&T phone on WinMo that does not do this? What about iPhone with exchange connector? Rock solid mobile e-mail delivery is all I am asking for. All suggestions welcomed .... Thanks !!!!
I just found the new HTC ROM update .... loading it now. Sure hope it makes life better.
Okay so I have leedroid 1.1 and i have also had this problem with Android Revolution 1.1.3.
It seems as my phone is always sync'ing all the time ! the little sync icon on top is always there. I even go into Accounts and click on each account I have and none of them are sync'ing but the icon is always there....my heavy battery loss also supports my paranoia. I have everything syn'ing every two hours besides mail (1hr). Only thing that is push is HTC Hub.
Any Help?
Yep, noticed that too and that is why i returned back to stock. It seems each one of these roms all like sense. I wish the devs could just create one with sense and one without.

Had the same with stock rom till i got coredroid rom.
i have this issue with stock rom. i turned off auto sync, and clicked the sync all, and then again to cancel sync.
Had an issue like this on my MyTouch 4G not sure if its the same problem for you or not but mine was caused by deleting the FriendStream app
I think i found the problem !
I was using Advanced Task Killer by rechild with autokill on crazy and autokill on screen off. Once i uninstalled and put back my original Taskiller by ax my battery litterally halted and i only get the sync icon once in a while...when it is actually sync'ing !
Hello All!
I have been having some issues with the Official Twitter app available on the market and was wondering if anyone else is running into the same problems and may have some solutions to these problems:
1. For some reason twitter will randomly start up while my screen is off and chew through my battery until i catch it. I will put my phone in my pocket and take it out 20 mins later to my battery level being down 10% or more from when i last checked it and twitter taking over half my battery life in battery stats. I have data syncing off in the app and use a data enabler to save battery. what can this be?
2. I have my twitter contacts synced to my phone. For some reason I cannot access a twitter profile through their contact profile on the phone itself. I get a "Cannot receive tweets at this time. Please try again later" error, and trying later doesn't fix it .
Does anyone else have these issues? To be honest I'm thinking about ditching the Official app all together and using tweetdeck. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Tony
Does anyone else have the problem of their Exchange/ActiveSync profile just randomly disappearing? It's happened 4 times now. Driving me crazy. Any advise? I can set it down and pick it up 15 minutes later and the profile is gone!
I'm running a stock/non-rooted GT6800 w/ an AT&T SIM. My exchange server is 2010. Everything works perfectly when the profile is there.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Honestly I wouldn't care, but most of my contacts are in Exchange and when I lose the profile, I have to re-enter some of the contact info in the phone that exchange doesn't save (Ringtone, etc.)

Same happens to me. I thought I've done something wrong. But obviously it was not me but Samsung...
Don't know how to solve it other than using another Exchange app or wait until Q3 for the ICS update...
I'm running Tweaked Stock ROM V3 and I only sync mail, no contacts or calender and I've never lost any info or had any trouble? I'm connected to SBS2003.
Having the same issue. I've had my Tab 10 days now and during that time my activesync account has disappeared 3 times now. Have no idea yet what's causing it to happen.
I ended up just using the Touchdown app instead of the built in exchange client.

Still happening here. I am still on 3.2. I wonder if fixed on 4.0?
going to ICS fixed that problem for me

I have not had the problem going since going to ICS with exchange. you have lots of choices on which ROM version to install. the instructions on this site are excellent and should be followed to eliminate problems when you upgrade. hope all goes well.
Same issue with mine.
Mine is rooted with stock rom (3.2).
My exchange account stops working after around 2-3 weeks. It tells me it is something to do with a security certificate.
I then have to remove it and re-enter everything again to get it back
Kind of same issue for me under ICS. It sometimes loses all the Exchange information (Contacts, emails, etc...) and then redownloads everything
Needless to say it is costly in battery life and bandwidth use
That seriously pisses me off, since I had similar problems with my Samsung original Tab 7 !!!! Unbelievable they haven't improved since
Only way onmy Tab for me to ahve something working decently was imply to switch to CM...
Hi!
Anyone here, who still have problems with facebook messenger? It started when FB had battery draining problem and did not stop since then. I uninstalled it multiple times and tried messenger lite, but it lacks some features I use almost daily.
Problem is, messenger is eating ~50% of CPU and is making hand warmer out of my phone.
I have OnePlus X with CM 13 installed.
Is there a way to find out what is process doing? It would help me investigate the issue.
Thanks!
