Exchange Services Battery Life Drain

I have had my Samsung Galaxy Nexus for several months now. In the last few days Exchange Srevices is eating my battery life. I have searched on the internet for a soulution to this problem. I have read several suggestoins, but nothing seems to be a permanent fix. Does anyone know what is causing this & how to fix it?

Look in your applications or on your battery use screen. There is an application called BIP which is used to synchronize your contacts with certain applications and other accounts from what I understand. I notice on mine that when it shows up in my battery usage screen, my battery life is greatly diminished and will often just die overnight when it has around half battery left at bedtime. It seems that there are times that it's getting hung up and running in the background much more than it should. I have been force closing it when it shows up and my battery life goes back to normal, right, wrong or coincidence aside. It starts back up when needed but closes regularly when not for most of the time. I started noticing the same thing in about the same time frame you mentioned.

Why does my ipod touch 4th gen battery life drain so quick

I've had my iPod touch for a few years now, but recently The battery life drains very fast, even if I go on one app it goes down half way after charging it full, I don't know why? My iPod will last me 30-1hour, is there a way of fixing this? :-)

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new batter for $79. They do not fix yours.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $10

Iphone 4 battery life draining battery usage and standby has (-) sign

I know there are forums with the same question, however, I need to know what to do if the restore as new doesn't work as well as trying to turn off the notifications. My battery life was fine until I up graded to iOS5.0.1.
I've also done a hard reboot tried to run the battery down and recharge to 100%. Nothing seems to work. I'm getting a usage and battery standby time of ( - ), no figures at all.
With only 2 short calls and a couple of minutes of internet usage my phone has gone from 100% at 7h this morning to 70% at 11h36. I've only noticed the battery drain over the last few days. The only changes were a couple of upgrades on the apps and even deleting those aren't working. I've also tried to delete my email accounts. I've reinstalled the email settings not with exchange but through gmail. My notifications are at a minimum and iCloud is switched off, the only thing that it is backing are my contacts.
Help! I travel far to get to work and need a reliable phone. I'm not sure whether to hold out for a new update on the software or take it to the genius bar.
Any help would be appreciated.

This seems to mainly affect the 4S however if you search the forum (hardware and using iPhone ) you will find many solutions that have either solved or dramatically improved the situation
My 4 did playup with 5.0.1 up but picking a selection of the solutions has returned mine to normal
Location Services to name but one

IPhone 6 battery life draining since 8.1 update

Is anyone else having problems with their iPhone 6 battery life diminishing since the latest 8.1 update? I notice I'm getting much less usage time per hour. For example, before 8.1, it would take about 3 hours of usage time to get to 70%. Now it only takes 2 and it gets worse after that. Here is a screenshot I took of the battery usage before the 8.1 update:
This is pretty normal usage timings for me (it was taken Monday, October 20th). Now, here is a screenshot from today, after starting out with 100% this morning:
As you can see, it's quite a huge difference. The weird thing is that messaging seems to take up more battery life than it used to. Yes, I do text quite a bit during the day but the frequency of this has not changed between now and October 20th. It shouldn't be using THAT much battery life. I took it to the Genius Bar yesterday to ask them about this problem and the girl told me that she saw some crashing from the Messages app in Diagnostics Information and she felt that maybe since the update, there was something causing that app to use more battery. So she suggested erasing the phone and restoring from an iCloud backup. I did this yesterday when I got home but, as you can see, the problem is no better (though there are no more crashes listed in the diagnostics information).
I have no idea what else I can do to fix this and I'm getting really tired of having to charge this twice a day now (I used to have to do this with my iPhone 5, as well). If anyone has had a similar problem, I would appreciate suggestions. And before you ask, I'm doing all of the normal battery saving tricks, like turning off background app refresh, not having it check for mail all the time (it's manual), brightness is down, I turn wifi off when not using it, I don't leave apps open, etc etc etc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

I turn off background refresh, mail push/fetch, and I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them. I also minimize which apps use location services. Even when doing all of that though, the battery life became terrible on 8.1. Since updating to 8.1.1 all issues seem to have been fixed so I'm very grateful for that. I recommend anyone on 8.1 who is having issues to upgrade to 8.1.1 immediately.

IPod touch 2G battery life draining

Hello all,
Usually on my iPod, I turn off WiFi and lock the screen when I go to sleep and when I wake up 8 hours later, the battery is still full as it was when I left it and I can use it again happily. However, since last week, if I do this, the battery drains heavily, even when it's doing nothing. For example, this morning, I fell asleep with it fully charged, woke up 8 hours later and half the battery had gone. Now, when I spend £165 of my money on a device like this, I expect that I should get decent use and battery life out of it and not malfunction like this only 5 months after I got it. Is there any way I can stop this happening or should I send it back to Apple and see if they can fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Gardiner

the OP could turn it off at night. but they really shouldnt need to. i certainly never have done.
try the troubleshooting steps: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/
that will fix it if it's a software issue. if not, take it to apple.

Ios 7.1 battery life drains fast

My fix finally ended up being to change my ExchangeSync mail service to Pull and not Push. Battery life now resembles normalcy. Only need Apple to patch the iOS to remedy this problem. Please HURRY!!!

Ipad 2 battery life drain 10% by hour after 5.1

Hello, my name is Martin Vila.
I posted about this same issue a few weeks ago hopping that apple will give an update about 5.1 IOS for Ipad 2 but becouse I need my Ipad for dental school almost everyday i went and search a solution for my poor battery life. After upgrading to 5.1 my Ipad is almost useless with a battery life of 3 hours only with WIFI (this only happen hours after I update to 5.1) So i been searching on the web and I have found a few posts about this, but they are not confirm if this is an 100% solution, they say if i restored my Ipad from scratch using Itunes player my IOS will redownload and the battery will be ok ones again, so is this true, has anybody had this same problem before and had try this solution?, also if I restored my Ipad and I backup with Icloud my Ipad will be with the same apps and contents? I only care for "The skeleton system pro" app because I have a lot of notes in there.
PS: Sorry for my bad grammar, but english is my second language, greetings from Peru

Suggest you recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Battery life drains off because of wifi connection.

I bought iPhone 5, one year ago and now I have a problem with the battery life . Whenever my phone connected to wifi it keep loading and battery drains off in a faster rate when no app runs at background and there is no photo streaming also. because of such a problem I am forced to go for multiple recharge in a day.Kindly reply and do the needful.

Thank you .
But I suppose I didn't ask the question correctly. I know that when my iPad is out of range of ANY connectivity its always looking. But if I'm happily connected to wifi...does the the 3G radio still do anything? As in keep sewrchingntoo?
I would imagine that when wifi is working 3G would cease draining battery. But I can't find docs scything so or not.
The safe bet is turning it off manually. But I'm curious. Thanks for your help Carolyn!

Battery life draining rapidly by wifi after ios 6 upgrade?

I've noticed a considerable decrease in battery life since upgrading, definitely.

Battery life drained while using itunes

My macbook battery life is being drained while using itunes. I have checked the activity monitor and the CPU usage is up to 14-16 while on most macbooks, its at an average of 4 or 5. I've updated the software and even tried going back to the original software it came with. What's the best solution for this issue?

Battery Life Drain

Okay, so it's kind of an old issue I know, but ever since I upgraded to iOS 4 on my iPod Touch, the thing leaks battery life like crazy. I've linked it to the WiFi. WiFi off - battery stays full. WiFi on - battery won't sustain moderate use for a day. I'm assuming that perhaps the WiFi isn't going dormant when the device goes to sleep but am not sure. Bottom line, I'd love to have WiFi whenever the device is awake but not risk draining my battery by leaving it on. Any tips?

how do you turn an ipod touch off? I thought when I first got it that hitting the little button on the top right was turning it off, but then I observed that the battery was draining even if I hadn't used it for a few days. So I researched and found that it is just being put to sleep, so therefore battery power is draining.
Is there a way to turn it completely off? We don't constantly use it, so why have it on or in sleep mode all the time?

MacBook Pro Battery Life Draining After Updating to Yosemite

Hi,
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro. After updating to Yosemite a few months, I have experienced a severe loss of battery life. I was averaging around 6-8 hours on a charge, and that is now down to about 3. I have reset the PRAM, etc. and SOMETIMES that will work but not always. I typically have only one program running at a time, Chrome, but sometimes it's a mix between Chrome, Windows, iTunes. But my computer usage patterns have not changed since before/after updating. The only thing I can think of is that it is caused by Yosemite.
When I check my Activity Monitor, the apps with the highest CPU usage are WindowServer, kernal_task, and Chrome Helper. I have also disabled several plugins/features of Chrome to no avail.
Has anyone experienced similar issues or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is one of the 'etc.' a SMC reset?

Gmail "Push" Service & Battery Life

Hello,
For those of you who are using Google Sync to push gmail what affect are you seeing on battery life?

The difference is UNBELIEVABLE!
I used gmail push for a week and my battery died every day after 10-11 hours. I gave up last night and went to fetching every 15-minutes.
My phone has been on for 12-hours today and it's still at 80% (same usage as normal).

Why Is My Magic Mouse battery life draining rapidly?

I am using the mouse with a apple wireless keyboard which is 100% (battery) but the magic mouse is 83%.

common
Ive got 2 mac mini
the magic mouse is a tad of a battery hog.
My magic mouse (both of them) use batts. about 3X as fast or more than keyboard, for obvious reasons.
Mouse is perpetually sending signal when moving and gets a lot more transmission output than typing by a long shot.
Magic mouse is transmitting about 20X as much as a keyboard is, why would you wonder why its using more batteries?

IOS 8.3 is draining my iPhone 6 Plus battery life. how to downgrade to iOS 8.2?

I never changed my mobile phone using habits. All that changed recently is my iPhone 6 Plus getting an iOS 8.3 update. I noticed my battery life draining quicker than the usual. It used to still have enough juice to last me until midnight, now by lunch time i am already at 63%!
Anyone experiencing this?
Know the proper legitimate way to downgrade from iOS 8.3 to 8.2? Prefer to have longer battery life than have this updated 8.3 in my phone. I don't feel the benefits of the upgrade to begin with.

The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.
I wrote a review of my new iPhone 6 Plus here and brought up the issue:
http://lerner.net/dougs-review-of-his-new-iphone-6-plus-first-day-impressions/
If anybody has any ideas, or comparative battery life results, please let me know.
Thanks,
doug
