Hotmail account drains Battery on iphone - process loops indefinately

Apparently the migration from Hotmail to Outlook by Microsoft, which took place during the last 2 months has created an incompatibility issue causing some iphone process to be looping indefinitly thus using up battery.
My battery on my iphone 4 was draining in a few hours and turning hot while not doing anything (idling).
I downloaded lAssistant (with an L not an i) and noticed that before i deleted my hotmail account, the activity of the CPU while my iphone 4 was not doing anything, was 35-40% while AFTER i deleted my hotmail account the activity dropped to 4% and the battery returned tom normal drain.
My Iphone 4 returned to normal operation after
1. removing my Hotmail account from settings->mail,contacts->accounts->(choose hotmail account) Delete Account,
2. turning off my iphone 4
3. turning on my iphone 4
4. Re-adding my Hotmail account
The battery has STOPPED draining and getting hot.
Now if this was done by Microsoft on purpuse or not is another issue........ Apple should fix this bug immediatelly.

What bug? There was an issue in the setup of the account or possibly an email stuck in the out of constantly trying to send. Removing and re-adding the account resolved the issue.
Sorry, but there is no issue. Therefore nothing for Apple to fix.

TS3899 Hotmail account not working in iPhone 5 mail app

At first I thought it was a COS, College of the Sequoias, as in the college I'm going to, Hotmail situation BUT it turns out it's a Hotmail in general situation because my other Hotmail account doesn't show my inbox or sent mail at all. I sent up my Hotmail account properly, go to it on the mail app, click on it and the inbox is empty. So is the sent box. Go to hotmail on the browser..there's all my mail! Just not in my Hotmail account in the mail app! I tried to set my Hotmail account on Jennifer's iPhone 4S.. No luck. Same thing happened when I tried on mum's iPad!
The strange thing is my COS hotmail account WAS set up on their BEFORE then iOS6 update just flawlessly. I get my iPhone 5 and decide to delete my email accounts from the iPad now that I have my phone. When hotmail decided to go all wonky I tried resynchronize my COS hotmail on the iPad again because I know it worked there. But I had updated the software since then. Thus it not working now!
My gmail and yahoo accounts are working flawlessly on my mail app however the Hotmail..not so much! I've been doing some research on the net..could the update be the problem?? If so, I can't wait for the iOS 7 software update!

Same here. I, too, have tried everything, including removing and re-adding the Hotmail account and SMTP servers, rebooting, you name it. Some folders seem to sync sometimes, but some do not ever. The main inbox does not sync at all. In addition, the problem seems to be strictly with Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The issue does not occur on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini. I was very pleased with Apple Mail until now.

Drained battery with iPhone 3G 3.0 upgrade

I loaded the new 3.0 software a few days ago with no problems. Today I found that my "turned off/ idle" phone in my pocket had gone to the new Apple recorder program and has been recording for 58 minutes by the time I discovered it. So unknown if this will be a source of battery drain by a program starting on its own (buggy?).

mine lasts a lot.
this is pretty much the daily use of my iPhone3G using 3.0 for a week.
i work from 7am to 4PM, one hour break time in that timeline , its on standby for 8 hours , on break time i pretty much make heavy use of Youtube , Safari and Mail among other Apps like IM+ and sometimes some games, after my work day i still have almost 50% of battery left.
my settings
Push is set to manual
Notifications are On and have 4 apps on it
the internet connection is always 3G
so my guess is that you guys do heavy use of your phones all day or maybe you guys are leaving the Safari , Mail and IPod apps running in the background.
test this and see if your battery lasts longer.
after every use of Safari , Mail or IPod before putting your Phone into standby do this, open safari, then press and hold the top button until you see the slide to power off option, release that button and now hold down home button (square) , after 6 seconds it will return to the home screen and Safari will be closed now ,do the same for Mail and IPod, open mail press top button until off slide , hold home for 6 seconds , then open Mail , hold top button until off slide then home for 6 seconds, now apps that don't shutdown like Safari , Mail and IPod will shutdown and the phone will use less battery while on standby. if you open them again they will again remain open and drain battery.
there was a function on 3.0 when it got announced that it would close every app to save battery, people complained about it, apple listened and removed that function. now only Safari ,Mail and IPod apps stay processing and wasting battery in the background.

Cant add hotmail account to Mail on Iphone 4S

I have recently reset an old iPhone 4s 32gb for work purposes, and am trying to set up my email account.
Ive tried using the 'exchange' account however shows up saying "Outlook Account" Unable to verify account information.
So ive tried using other in the hopes of adding it, and its coming up saying - A WINDOWS LIVE HOTMAIL PLUS SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO USE HOTMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH MAIL. VISIT
GET.LIVE.COM/MAILPLUS/FEATURES FOR DETAILS. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT ON THE WEB AT MAIL.LIVE.COM
Ive tried visiting the above website and I get nothing, saying its offline or something.
I select Next, and it goes through the stage saying 'verifying' and it comes up with another pop up saying" The POP server "pop3.live.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field. I select OK. I try and Re-Save the info, which goes through "verifying" again, and it comes up with;
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Yes or No?
My passwork is correct? I have no idea why this is becoming an issue, when before the reset everything was working perfectly.

Short answer: when you are in settings, add email account, scroll down to outlook.com and use this to enter your hotmail account. Hope it works for you.

One hotmail account deletes emails from iphone and hotmail account, the other doesn't?! Any help?

I have an iphone 3g. I have two hotmail accounts on it. One deletes the emails from my hotmail account, the other I have to log in to hotmail on the computer and delete AGAIN. Anyone know why and how I can fix this?
Thank you in advance.

I just tried connecting to you, and I got the same error message as with Apple's test accounts:

IOS 8 SEVERELY draining battery on iPhone 5

Is there any way to fix it??
My Home/Lock screen racks up 47% of my battery usage since updating, while the background/app refresh, location services, and other features that drained battery in iOS 7 are turned off.
My battery has gone down by 5% within just 10 minutes of my phone sitting there, having absolutely nothing done to it.
Whenever I click the home button after about a minute or so, it goes down by a percent (sometimes two).
So my phone isn't even going to last me an hour of usage after this "upgrade"?

As much as I love getting a new gadget, I respect our environment more. So I'm holding on to my iPhone 5, 16GB because it's worked so well for the last 2 years and is still going strong. I charge it every night and at the end of the day I usually have 20% battery left. But that was before the iOS 8.0.2 update...
Now my phone lasts 4 hours and over heats. It died 3 times yesterday with normal use. The only variable is iOS 8.0.2
I looked up forums and found "tips" that are more like work-arounds. I tried resetting all settings which didn't work. All it did was give me annoying settings like 2 reminders for one SMS, location services off, and I lost my favourite lock screen photo of my two children (even though it said "no data or media will be lost" ).
I checked the settings for apps that are using most battery. Phone and lock screen are the top two. Lock screen?? Seriously??
I remembered that when I use GPS apps (ie. TomTom or Google Maps), the phone (just feels like any other "phone" now without the "i") would heat up in the same way it does now. So I snooped and found a little switch hidden deep, deep down in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services (scrolled down to the very, very bottom) and there was a switch for Status Bar Icon. I turned this ON and paid attention. It would turn on by itself on the lock screen. I thought that maybe Siri is using it? So I went into Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turned Siri's location access OFF.
The phone cooled down almost instantly. I'm charging it now and will update below on how I go, if anyone's interested...
Let me know how you go with this?

Not significantly.

IOS 5.01 update draining battery on iPhone 4

I have an iPhone 4 and ran the update to iOS 5 on Saturday. I regret doing this now. Before the update I had great battery life. But since Saturday my battery needs to be charged multiple times in a day through normal use. In 1.5 hours of unplugging my iPhone from the charger, my battery drained to 88%. In the last 10 minutes it took to log in & post a couple comments, my battery has now drained to 83%! In 10 minutes!! That is an embarrassment guys. Please fix this ASAP!

I had both the synching "waiting to copy problem" and ios 5.01 battery problem. Eg: phone was at 100% at 11pm by morning it was stone dead. Both issues are resoluved now.
1: "Wainting to sync" issues was resolved by upgrading iTunes to 5.01 (windows 7 64 bit)
2: Battery problem was resolved by backing up my phone and finally seeing it complete fully. Then resetting the phone to factory and restoring the phone from backup
In the middle of the restore I had a time out error, I unplugged the phone, restarted itunes, started the restore again and now everything seems fine.
The phone has been at 100% for over an hour now.
I hope this helps.

7.1 update drains battery on iPhone 4, can I revert to previous version?

Ever since I updated to IOS 7.1 (I can't find the version number on the iPhone itself) like many users, my battery no longer lasts 3 days, but drains at about 3%/minute, even with all the apps and location services switched off. Can I revert to the previous version please? And, if so, how? Thank you for allowing me to use the phone without switching the entire phone off 99% of the time! Thank you for any assistance that you can give me on this very frustrating problem, over which Apple is sure to lose customers!

yes there is a way. i figured it out a few days ago. first download the firmware 4.0 from a site. then go into itunes with your phone plugged in AND ON (do NOT put in recovery mode).. hit shift, update. find the 4.0 firmware you just downloaded. it will take a minute but you will downgrade right back down to 4.0. when it completes, a screen should pop up saying there is a new update available (4.0.1) & asking if you want to update. CLICK CANCEL. then you're done! if you want to make sure it worked, go to your phone--go to settings-about-software. it should say 4.0. hope i helped

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Hotmail accounts not working on iPhone 6 - IOS 8.3?

I've realised over the last few days that I've not been getting emails on my iPhone, they do still come through on my Mac. I read a few threads that seem to put it down to the new IOS upgrade, but I can't remember when I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and when the emails stopped coming, but it does seem quite coincidental.
I thought I delete the accounts on my iphone but it won't let me, it just keeps hanging with the screen showing deleting, but it doesn't delete. I have to force a quit out of settings to get out of the screen.
I also tried sending an email from each account to see if it would work but it also hangs on sending at the bottom of the screen.
My iPhone 6 is only a few weeks old and I'm not sure what I'm meant to do now. Why can I not delete the email accounts? Why has my iPhone stopped sending and receiving them?
Any help very much appreciated!

HI, I would like to help you with this FaceTime issue. Can you expand on the problem please?

Has anyone gotten their Hotmail account to work on iPhone?

I'm trying to use my hotmail address for my mail feature, but I don't know what the incoming/outgoing host names are supposed to be, and I don't know if I'm supposed to use IMAP, POP, or Exchange. Help, please!!
iPhone Windows XP

I looked into this some. Turns out that hotmail does not support pop3 and imap email clients. Reason being that the greedy corporate fools want you to access your inbox through a web client in order to spit advertisements at you. Thier is a non-comissoned program called Hotpop that you can run on your PC (must always he on and connected for this to work) but it is too much of a hassel of you ask me. Your best bet is to move over to gmail or yahoo mail that do provide these services (and a lot more storage space)
