Exchange Services uses 30% of battery in Kit Kat

Is it just me or is exchange services hogging the battery in Kit Kat it says in my battery usage that its used 30% of the battery power.?! This was never like this in jelly bean..? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong but is this actually the case.?

it's been reported in the google product forums. Some are reporting battery drain, some having problems connecting to their exchange servers( authentication fails). Other (me included on this) Exchange connects, but push mail is erratic. Also, items read on the phone do not get marked read on the server.
In the mean time, I am using touchdown from the play store (30 day trial) hoping that google will get it sorted. Using touchdown, the battery drain is gone, and push mail works flawlessly...
Frankly, it's the only thing that is bugging me on this phone. I shouldn't have to go to a third party for a solution....

Agreed thanks for the word I thought I was crazy.. I'll try touchdown.. I have 3 exchange accounts so my phone never really gets a rest the way it is now. I hope they fix this asap.

That's discouraging. I have push disabled with 1 hour sync for now

Set mine up this am and its showing only 6%. And that includes the initial full downloads.
I really like the new look....matches the look and feel and functionality of my gmail.
One thing I hate though... I wish it would auto download attachments.

Actually, I switched to Touchdown on my Nexus 4 running Jelly Bean 4.3 because Exchange Services absolutely killed my battery. Tried everything I could find to fix it, and never could. And from the searches I did at the time I wasn't alone.
So far, Exchange Services is behaving on my Nexus 5, but I'm concerned to see that the problem could come back.

Funny i disabled the contacts portion of the exchange sync on 3 of my 4 exchange accounts and i DO NOT see this big battery hit anymore. must have been a glitch, i will be watching it closely now..

I use touchdown. No issues with battery.
Plus it keeps your email encrypted which is kind of important for most companies.

I did have a quick 30% run on my battery the other day where email/exchange took about 15%. I have a weird routine of turning airplane mode on and off due to my job. Something got stuck on...
Still got great battery that day. On a normal day I'm seeing 5 hr screen on....wow compared to a rare 3hr day on the Note with 3200 Mahr Anker.

Your exchange account is set to push, right?
Go to settings > corporate
Its flicking between syncing and last updated, right? I think its syncing every other second, which is whats draining the battery. I just turned off the sync for that until they release a fix

Ditto for battery drain issues. I hadn't noticed it as much until today where after 3 hours my battery had dropped 40% and I wasn't even using it. Checked and it was due to exchange services.
I wont go with a third party solution so hopefully this gets fixed soon.

I haven't had any issues with enhanced email either

really bad battery performance

Hi,
I bought my Nexus a week ago. During the first day the battery life seemed to be ok but since 2 oder 3 days it is really bad.
I didn´t really use the phone today (checked some emails and used for 2 or 3 really short calls) and the battery is emtpy after 11 hours...
Phone is rooted stock rom (CF) 4.4.2 since the first day. Any ideas?

Need much more information to get an idea what you do with your phone and how its setup. What features are running and stuff like that.
Rooted?
And do yourself a favor and get Gsam from play store, as well as gsam root companion after, if you're rooted. It has much more detailed information. The stock battery usage screen says very little to help find an issue.
Also, read through some of the following thread...start on last page and go back a bit. Tonnes of good info and tips there. A better place to discuss issues as well.

Same story of mine, you are lucky enough that your phone battery empty after 11 hours in my case it was around 8 hrs its gone.
Nexus 5 not smart enough regarding its battery backup. It is very normal problem in smartphones but N5 performance is worst among them.
Go through this , may it will help you out as we both are in the same ship.

Sorry but that is not true. It's been proven time and again that the N5 is one of the more battery efficient phones to date. Just because you're having issues with it doesn't mean we all are, there are many things for you to try but complaining won't help.

i see this too often, but not as much on xda, more here in real life.

OP...there are threads about the possible battery issues with the N5 and how they can be fixed all over the N5 forum. Perhaps you could've checked those out first before opening a thread. However, I do agree with the assessment that it takes a bit more investigating on your part to figure out why you're having battery drain issues.
The picture you posted is just a microcosm of what things could also be draining your battery. Do you have apps running in the background? Are your apps syncing too frequently? Are Google apps running or syncing too often?
What fixed my drain issues was going into my Accounts settings and ticking only the Google apps I used on a regular basis (Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts) and unticking the others.

Seems just another post a question, then don't bother to return to see responses....or at least not comment on any of it...kinda thread. Lol
You can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink.

Hi, I didn't have any more issues so far. Right after creating this thread the issue disappeared without any changes except installing the battery app mentioned in the first reply (and maybe a reboot).

[Q] Battery Consumption Gear 2 and S4

I have had my Gear 2 for about 7 days now and i barely get 24hrs on a single charge.
What are people seeing for battery consumption?
Am i missing something?
I thought it was the newness and that i might have been using a lot so i planned to reset the watch and not use it that much as a test. So yesterday i reinitialized my G2 and reinstalled the Gear Manager on my phone. I planned for a day of limited use. I turned off the screen motion sensor. Then this morning i took the G2 off charge at 8:30am. I checked the time today maybe about 10 times received 2 notifications and at 8:50PM i am at 49% WTF?
This is terrible performance and sadly i am contemplating returning my G2 to best buy and waiting to see what else comes out in later this year. I also can't seem to get notifications to pop up on the screen. I get vibration and beeps but i still have to open the notification section to read the msgs from my messaging app Invi.
The battery is really going to be the deal breaker for me unless someone has some insight to what might be causing this massive drain.

I've had mine for a little longer than yourself. I have mine hooked up to a note 3 and I have been getting great battery life, in the 3+ days range. I turned off the motion sensor and the battery has gotten even better, sitting at 69% after pulling it off the charger yesterday morning, I am not a heavy user of it however, I use it mainly at work, since I can't have my phone on vibrate, only silence it allows me to know when my phone receives things in a discrete manner. You probably received a defective unit as to the battery life and the notification issues. I would take it back to best buy and trade it for another. My 2 cents.

It is now 12:45AM the G2 has been off charge for 16hr 15min and i am at 20% I have only checked the time about 5 times since my original post.
I don't think it will make it to 24hrs.

That is the kind of performance i was hoping for.
Maybe i will return it for another but i don't have a good feeling. Maybe it is something related to my S4 and the G2 combination.

You need to remember that although the screen is off its still working. Mine is working fine on S4 and I have everything on and brightest it can go and use it a lot .anything over 24 hours is fine to me. Currently been off charge for 10 hours and still 83%. We all use devices differently so it's either defective or something isn't set right.

As i stated in my post i refrained from using the G2 aside from checking the time throughout the day. I completely agree with you. The question is what could possibly be set wrong to cause this,

When the G2 reached 15% at around 2AM (~17hrs off charge) i turned off the bluetooth on the G2 and after 2 hours it was at 14%. So it seems that it is related to the bluetooth and S4.

Which android version do you run on you your S4?

I thought Gear 2 only work with 4.4?

No they work with 4.3. My note 3 was 4.3 due to Verizon being slow to update. But the gear worked great with 4.3. Works better with 4.4 though. I see better battery life on both devices, it seems to not drain as much.

Bought mine a couple of days ago. Wonderful device, however, the battery last for only 1 day. Running with Note II Android 4.3 . If Android 4.4.2 doesn't solve a problem, I'll head for Service. Fortunately, here is Taiwan there is no problem with that.

Moto g 2015 overheating

Hi
few days ago i adquire a new moto g 2015 but found that the phone overheats just in a few minutes of using it on wifi or network data.it gets hotter tan when playing for example real racing or asphalt 8 games
tried whit the aosp rom form here to see if the problem is gone but it doesnt improve.
tried again with the oem rom but removing every motorola app but theres no improvement
its a phone issue or lollipop issue?

I've had no overheating and have noticed very few if any posts on overheating. How do you know it's overheating?

in just 3 minutes of use the screen and back comes hot to the point it hurts. just using wifi no other app open just using 1 app play or chrome well any app,same thing with network data.
but if you turn off the wifi or net data the temp start to drop.

Yeah, if it gets hot enough to hurt, that would concern me.. I'm guessing you don't have a case on it then. Looking at the battery stats, are there any apps that stand out as being heavy on the memory. Chrome is a heavy ram user or at least it was on mine, that's why I ditched it.

no cover but even with an amzer tpu cover you can feel the heat trough it,i know chrome is a ram guzzler i use opera .
in the stas everything looks normal os and screen as the mayor consumers other stuff in minimal state even chrome.
the problem is only when using it on wifi or network data,the center of the screen is the hottest spot when this happens.

other than gaming .. does it heat??
like .. if you are using Wifi, browsing for long hours.. watching videos for long time .. etc .. !
mine will also heat up .. when i play in direct sunlight .. the glass gets over heated .. i feel it would crack due to that heat..
but if i play in shadows or in rooms .. its ok .. not that much amount of heat..
try in several conditions and reply again bro.

The overheating is only on wifi or net data,in just 3 minutes,even if i use the phone in complete darkness!!

not unlocked.But i recomend any moto g 2015 to not unlcok until satified with the phone operation.
yerterday i tried to contact motorola and they answered me 30 minutes later so it seems that motorola now are suffering the same issue as lenovo customer service or policies " screw you its not bussines" then 20 more minutes later answering stupid questions the answer was simply a please return the unit with not even a hope or chance to try fix it, well since i purchased the phone from amazon returns are easy as 123, done with it!!!

On Friday I re flashed the latest standard ROM on my Canadian Note 5 (920W8) as the official Nougat update is imminent. Of course without Root the battery was horrible, I did some research and came across this app on the play store. It is called deep sleep battery saver.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.batrsaver so I thought I would give it a try. I took my phone off charge at 100% on Saturday night and by 9:00am I had only lost 3%. I messed with my phone a little on Sunday, emails, messages etc nothing too heavy. It is now Monday morning at nearly 10:00am and I am only at 52%
Since the last charge I have had 1 day 10 hours and 43 minutes on battery. I think this is the best I have ever seen this with. I have the aggressive profile set and it seems to be working well.
I thought I would share this in case it helps anyone that doesn't want to root their phone
