Exchange Mail Sync and Battery Life (PLEAE HELP)

I looked through the threads and could not find an answer but did discover people are having issues with Mail sync for Exchange.
I have a N9 WITHOUT PR1.1 (does not show update is available)
Syncing to Small Business Exchange Server 2003
I am NOT having issues being able to sync (contacts, mail, calendar) but no matter which sync schedule I choose, it always shows the phone trying to sync with the server. It will update sometimes but then immediatly go back to an active transfer and will just run until something new comes in. I have tried all the sync schedule settings and it will still always show an active sync transfer.
I am assuming there is a problem, as my battery died within 4 hours (without being used).
Does this make sense? Anyone else having this issue?

I too have had this problem with battery depletion. Phone is N9 64gb black, previously running Starhub version of firmware and updated to Central Europe OEM version, "DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin". Firmware updated with no issues and phone works great except for email. If I add an email account, "other" or "exchange", then phone gets mail and calendar on first sync but then hangs on subsequent syncs. Then the phone will not get mail or any other info from mail server and constantly checks or tries to sync. Eventually the battery is depleted by the middle of the day after beginning the day fully charged. The only way I could stop the active sync process is to delete the account or turn the phone off and back on again.

Calendar Sync and Battery life poor after 6.1 update for iphone 5

Since the update to IOS 6.1, my iphone 5 has had numerous issues:
Calendar events show up on the iphone calendar, and then disappear
Battery drains in 1/2 day of normal to low usage
I understand there is a patch available for the 4S users. Will a patch be issued for iphone 5 users with similar issues?

What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Updated to OS 10.7.3; fan runs constantly and battery life dropped to under 2 hours when 100% charged. How do I get back to 10.7.2, I don't have a backup prior to this upgrade. This is a newer Macbook Pro 13", no modifications.

Help! This new version of Lion is making me miserable. The fan runs constantly, the computer is hot and battery life has dropped to under 2 hours on a fully charged battery. I updated yesterday, nothing but misery today. Even running the mail program alone make the fan run like I have everything open. Using Pages, iPhoto, and iTunes simultaneously makes the computer blistering hot.Yesterday, I could use all three without any trouble. Any suggestions to either jettison 10.7.3 or how to fix without any expense? I haven't modified this computer at all, it is as it came from the box in August 2011: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.

I updated to Lion 10.7.3 and started noticing my fans running on high all the time and my battery would drain 2-3x faster. I was going to take my computer into an Apple store until I found this thread. I did the SMC reset by shutting down my computer, plugging it in, and then pushing down shift+control+option while also pushing down the power button. Nothing happens on the screen and the computer did not turn on. I then released all the buttons at once after holding them down for 10 seconds.
After that, I simply turned my computer back on and everything seems to be working fine. The fans are not blasting anymore. I have a newer MacBook Pro where I can't access my batteries. The SMC reset may differ for other types of laptops.

I have a early 2011 Macbook pro 13 inch, I'm running Lion 10.7.4, and i want to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is it safe for my computer or are people experiencing problems with displays and Battery life?

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
To fix:
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

For me, 2.1 works great.

Mail-In Service and Battery Life

I recently sent my computer in to apple to get the superdrive replaced. before i sent it in i had an approximate battery life of one hour while running airport and at full screen brightness with safari, mail and AIM running. immediately after i got the computer back from the service center the battery life had dropped to about 30 mins under the same conditions. was there something at the service center that caused this disruption, and if so, would apple be accountable to replace it?

Hi carocker and Welcome to Discussions.
If your battery was already down to 1 hour it was already on its last legs and replacement was already imminent. I doubt you'll get anywhere with trying to hold Apple accountable. You could try a PMU reset…
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the iBook.
followed by a full Calibration…
which may improve things a bit.
Best of luck,
Adrian

Several issues on my Classic. Contacts, BB Link and Battery Monitor. Help + rant

Hello everyone,
Initially I wanted to make this post specific to my most recent problem (BB Link) but maybe I can get some help with all of my problems in one post.
1. Contacts display and Caller ID - my biggest problem.
I used gmail to sync my contacts when I switched from iPhone to Android and now on BlackBerry. I had no problems with the iPhone and the Nexus 5, but Contacts on BlackBerry is bad. Very bad. I thought that switching to BlackBerry I'd have 0 problems with calling people because it's a "serious" business phone, and business people really need the call function to work 100%. I have only 250 contacts and they are fully synced (2weeks now). I don't have duplicates.
I suspect that the culprit is "smart dialing". The "feature" I can't turn off. Maybe someone can set up smart dialing better than I can.
- I live in Romania so our Country Code is +40 .
- The rest of the number is xxx xxx xxx. (9 characters)
- so, a Romanian number is +40 xxx xxx xxx when dialing from abroad.
When dialing normally (national calls), we have to add the 0 from the country code in front of the phone number. That makes our phone numbers 0xxx xxx xxx. Due to this format, I've set the "National Number Length" to 10. (Same problem with 9). And we don't have an area code.
Just now I received a call from someone and it showed his caller ID. On the next call (same person), it didn't show the caller ID. In the Call Log, I could only see the number. I pressed info and it showed the name. Then I pressed back and the name was associated with the number again in the Call Log. (10 minutes after writing this i check my call log and I notice that there are some numbers that called but are missing right now from the log. its the 2nd time this happened. they will probably show up in the next few hours).
I also cleaned all my numbers and they all have the same format now. It is CLEARLY a blackberry problem. I had NO problems with caller IDs on iPhone or Android even though the format wasnt consistent through all contacts.
And why can't I just copy the numbers locally? I tried selecting all contacts and "Copy" to local but I just can't. Apparently because they are linked contacts. It shouldn't be this hard.
Also, why do I see linkedin contacts when I chose '"hide" in its menu?
2. BlackBerry Link - (and why isn't it integrated with blend anyway?).
- couldn't back-up over wi-fi. iPhone and android backup over wifi on their servers. I think i connected both of those devices fewer than 10 times total to my computer. Everything was done over wifi. Now i have to connect my blackberry weekly so it can backup? I don't mind that BB doesn't make a full backup on their server, but it should be at least possible to do so over wifi on my network. (or maybe I don't know how to do it?)
- photos. Instead of building its own library, or making it possible to sync directly with folders in my computer, BlackBerry Link uses the iPhoto Library (on my Mac) - which I DONT USE. So I set Iphoto properly, but Link doesnt detect the new updates to the library, I still can't find my specific folder in BlackBerry Link.
3. Battery. The battery monitor is completely useless. Once, after a full charge it showed me that I had 70% battery for 4 hours until it dropped under 70%. It is almost funny what I see in the battery monitor on a daily basis.
The battery life is ok, but I rely mostly on luck. Sometimes it would drop 10% in 10 minutes and then hold a 40% charge for several hours. I don't really know how much battery I have but it generally holds for 1 day so I'm not that worried.
The rant:
I wanted to have a BB for a long time. My gf had a 9900 and even though the camera stopped working randomly, it was very reliable. I used the Q10 shortly after it launched and I noticed at that time that I need more apps than BB World can offer flipboard, banking and just a few others, so I didn't make the switch then. Now with the classic, which has android runtime and the toolbelt (which i really liked on the 9900) I thought it's time to make the switch. But I find it surprisingly annoying exactly where I expected to see its strenght - reliability.
I don't mind the blackberry link part so much, or that android apps work a bit laggy. I expected that. But I DO expect to see who is calling me and to have a reliable battery monitor.
Other issues:
- it doesn't completely lock the buttons when in holster. why do I have to be careful how I position my phone in my pocket so I don't accidentally turn it off? Also the holster rubs against the volume down button when inserted (original BB holster).
- weird noises when I change the volume during a song or youtube video
- due to a bug in a webpage or in the browser, it used 600 mb in about 10 minutes while running as an active frame.
Apparently I blew off some steam. I really want to like this device. Hope future updates will make it better.
Edit: After a reboot the call log returned to normal....

First thing I would do is to switch the following off:
Contacts > Settings
Automatically Merge Contacts = Off
Unmerge Existing Contacts = On
Just to clarify, do you have all the contacts phone numbers in the format
+40 xxx xxx xxx ?
This would be ideal.

Updated new iphone 4s and battery life is poor

Since I upgraded my new iphone 4s the battery life has become really poor. As soon as its unplugged its lost life!
Is this going to be fixed?

Depending on the settings for your social media apps, your usage can very. If, for example, Facebook is checking the status to often, your battery is more likely to be drained. Same for mail and other push/fetch services.
Sometimes it helps to delete the account and set it up again, there have been cases in which those apps got stuck trying to connect to their servers.
If you restored the phone from the latest backup you made, did you reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for at least 10sec, until the Apple logo came back again?

Please check all the affected users are belongs to same mobile network. If so during that problem ,please try to browse the internet from their mobile devices.If that doesn't happen then it will be an problem which belongs to mobile network.Even though In
some cases i have seen that internet will work but Sync will not happen for the mobile devices which belongs to particular mobile network.
But the main condition we need to check is that affected user belongs to same mobile network or not.If they belongs to problematic mobile network ,please try to configure anyone of the affected user's mailbox on the some other mobile device which is having
other mobile network data connections.

Gingerbread OTA and battery life issue

I received the Gingerbread OTA update. I am still working through testing everything to see if the phone is now the way it should be, but I keep stumbling on 1 issue with the battery life.
Yes my battery is now over a year old of occasional use.
When I first got the gingerbread update I had 100% battery and applied the update.
That day I got over 9 hours straight of MP3 playback over Bluetooth using the stock music player.
I charged the battery to full that night and left it on the charger overnight.
The next day I got 4 hours straight of MP3 playback over Bluetooth using the stock music player.
I charged it up 100% at work and proceeded to get another 4 hours straight.
Since that day I have never seen the 8 hours again.
One interesting note is that in the 4 hour increments the music player will stop when the battery hits the orange low warning. I can switch over to streaming music videos and play for another hour till the battery fully dies.
I have tried to recondition the battery using some information I found.
I have factory reset the phone and updated stock apps only.
I have factory reset the phone and never logged into the market place to keep apps from auto updating.
I have noticed on my factory resets things are different. It wants to erase the SD card. You can do the factory reset without erasing the SD card. I am not sure exactly what the difference is there and why the default is to erase the SD card. Sadly both factory reset are not behaving as the previous one did. Normally after the factory reset the setup wizard would start and help you activate your phone. It seems the new default is to not run that process or I got a bad update on my phone.
I have also noticed as a user here suggested that after the phone reaches 100% charge, even though it is plugged in, the phone seems to switch over to using battery mode draining the battery and never topping it back up since it still plugged in.
Shouldn't a year old battery last longer? Shouldn't I be able to stream music for longer than 9 hours? I don't have the screen on, all interaction is through the Bluetooth headset, doesn't mater if email is on with push mode or totally off and not even activated, no calling, no text messages, and just solely trying to listen music like a mp3 player.
Suggestions?
Is your Samsung Fascinate Gingerbread OTA doing the same things?

A master reset definetly did not solve the issue for me.
On my last and most recent reset I noticed it did execute the setup wizard like it had done prior to gingerbread. This time I did not configure anything on the phone and just left it sit. I never opened the market either. About an hour later i got tired of no phone and started the wizard on my own so that the phone was at least activated. I did not configure any additinal email accounts just the standard single google account for my phone withthe gmail program.
I charge the battery to 100% with the phone on
Unplug the ac charger from the phone
ask the phone to power down
wait another 2 minutes after the screen goes black and the buttons are no longer lit
plug in the ac charger and it will top up the battery to a full 100% and not the OS 100% that it thinks it should be
Most nights i just leave it off charging to that last 100% since i have seen problems with trickle charging after it reaches 100% int he OS and then starts using the battery the rest of the night!
Next morning unplug the AC charger and ask the phone to boot
I got 8-9 hours playing mp3s streamed over bluetooth, 1 text message in and 1 text message out, but no phone calls and no other activity on the phone. Not bad but i feel it should do better!
I actived 3 exchange email accounts in push mode. I had heard push mode was supposed to be the best battery saver. Well with the included email (not gmail) app my battery went down in less than 4 hours! Today i have forced the email to manual mode instead of push for peak and off peak times. I will see if i get 8-9 hours again.
The rest of the phone is all factory defaults, boring, and pretty much useless. So much for a smart phone being smart and handy. Guess i need to buy about 3 batteries to get through a day and find a way to charge them as i run around throughout the day without ac or a way to charge.

Album Art and Battery Life

I am waiting to order the iskin duo for the nano before I buy the nano itself but I was hoping 3 questions could be answered before I make my purchase. Thanks in advance for your help.
1. I have read here that having and looking at photos on the nano shorten the battery life and eat up memory. I do not plan on placing pictures on my nano - but I do have album art for my songs. Does this eat up memory and use up battery life? If so, I may consider removing the album art.
2. Under "importing" in my ITunes Preferences I have it set up as "AAC Encoder" and "128 kbps". Is this the best way to have each song take up as little space as possible for the memory? If not, how do I change this after the fact?
3. I have heard a lot of discussions on where to buy an ipod. Some people feel that the extended warranty with Best Buy is a smart purchase, while some say it isn't worth the money. I have immediate access to buy the ipod online, at an apple store or at Best Buy. Where should I buy one and do you recommend an extended warranty?

Hello Jaime,
1. When You Put Pictures or have album art it shouldnt use up the battery power any more, the battery power will decrease the same amount as it does while its turned on.
2.If want to have the songs the smallest without losing sound quality those are the best settings, i use them and i think the imported songs sound awesome.
3. Best Buy is definately the best play to buy an iPod nano, i have done this and if anything goes wrong they will gladly exchange it or refund your money. I, personally, didnt do with the extended warranty because i wasnt willing to spend 50 bux on it. But if you have no problem with forking out the extra cash i would recommend it because the nanos battery will be eventually have to replaced and if you just send you nano to the apple "place" youll have to pay more than 50 bux, so the Best Buy salesman said...

3G and battery life question

I know the 3G uses much more battery up when surfing etc ... but does anyone know if it also ***** up more battery life when it is just on standby (but with 3G on)?

OK - as my process of elimination continues, I think I have found the first smoking gun.
So, I still have 3G, WIFI, BT and location assistance disabled. I enabled push mail and 50 minutes later, I found that the phone was warm and the battery had lost about 25% of the total battery capacity.
The data xfer was only 4 or 5 MB, so it was not moving a lot of data around.
So I have deleted my dot Mac or should I say Dot Me account and my Yahoo account, only leaving the Exchange account to see if the situation improves. Sadly, it will be a while before I know, since I have to recharge my phone. It was full at 7am, I turned all the power draining functions of at approx 8am (apple care recommendation). I have not been using it - total call time 8 minutes - Total data xfer 4 MB, no games, not internet. Was at about 50% at 3pm, turned push back on and by 3.50pm it was down to approx 25% and at 5pm needs to be recharged.
I will post what I find out.
Assuming turning of yahoo mail account and Mac account fixed the push problem, I will try switching 3G back on. If it did not, I will switch Exchange push off - if that fixes it, I will switch Yahoo and Mac Push back on to see if it is a push problem, or a MS Exchange Push problem.
Thanks,
Nick

5 days old iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 battery life please help

My phone is 5 days old and i am so fed up with battery life. I disabled all data settings and location services and i have nothing in notification center for any push notification. But still i lost 40% of the battery in half a day with just 5 mins of voice call and 15 mins of texting. Phone was idle the rest of the time and when i used i had brightness at around just 10-15% this is my first iPhone and totally disappointed as i saw battery to last a full day of normal usage in the internet. I am totally fed up with apple. What should i do now ? I am a student and invested an year's savings of mine to get this phone. I am totally fed up. Someone please help me.

You have to tell us what your usage pattern is like, what your reception/signal strength is, and what network type you are using (E/3G/4G/LTE)
To note, the more the screen is on (in long intervals 2+ minutes) the shorter the battery life is.
Streaming music over 3G will last 6 hours if the screen stays off for most of that time.
Email, messages, web browsing will last most of the day.
Since you have GSM, your phone should last 10 hours with light usage.
