How I fixed my short battery life on iPhone 5, and ActiveSync problems at the same time.

For anyone still having activesync or battery problems I have a potential fix:
I've had two issues lately. 
First, my battery life was draining at an insane rate.  iPhone5 lasted about 3-4 hours before absolutely dead from a full charge.  LTE disabled, WiFi disabled, icloud turned off...about as power efficient as I could make it, and I was hardly using it at all.  I was losing 1% batt every 2-4 minutes. 
I solved this problem by removing my work account (Exchange Activesync) from my mail accounts.  Obviously I couldn't stay like that for very long, so after confirming it stemmed the battery issue, I tried to add it back.  Did a bunch of different methods and tests, and what ended up working for me was:
Remove ALL accounts (Had Exchange, gmail, icloud)
hard reset the phone. 
After it came back up, I reset the Network Settings just for good measure. 
In Mail control panel, make sure "Default Account" doesn't have an old mail account listed (option may be not even present if you've removed all accounts, but I was having issues earlier where even though I'd removed accounts, it kept listing them in the Default Account/Calendar sections
Add the Account
Open Mail
It actually took a min or two to start populating data, I didn't think it had worked, so give it a few minutes.
My battery life issue seems to be fixed, and my ActiveSync account works again.  I've been off the charge for about 4h 40m now, and battery is at 90%, and that's with moderate usage on LTE.
Hopefully this helps out anyone having similar issues.  For what it's worth, I removed/readded my Exchange account several times and it never worked until I had removed all accounts (my iCloud account was the last one to be removed), so if possible, just remove everything.  I had already restored, DFU'd, and tried several other steps.  This was what worked for me.
I have NOT added my iCloud account back yet, but will be doing this now to see if any issues reappear.

I am experiencng rapid battery drain as well. Before checking the forums I have closed apps running in background, turned off LTE, turned off location services, turned off wi-if & turned off Bluetooth...my battery drained to 53% in 3 1/2 hours.
This is my 1st personal iDevice so I do not understand some of the verbiage. 
What is "disabled safari on icloud"? 
I go to Setting - iCloud & I am not signed in
I don't see anything in Safari Settings about iCloud
Thank you in advance for your assistance

  • How can I display my ipad on a remote screen and charg it at the same time

    I need to display my ipad on a remote screen for 10+ hours a day so I need to be able to charge it at the same time. Is this possible?

    The best way to charge the iPad is with its included AC charger. If it is not doing something energy intensive, it can be charged and used at the same time and not deplete the battery, especially if services that are not being used are turned off.
    Can you share more about the situation or environment in which you want to employ the iPad and which model you want to use? The new iPad consumes more energy and takes longer to charge the battery than the iPad 2.

  • How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

    I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
    Thanks,

    Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
    The Editor's executable is:

  • How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interrupti​on.

    I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
    So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
    So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
    I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
    So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
    period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
    So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
    Here is a new algorithm.
    1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
    2) I read value from In Port
    3) If I acquire a period
    i= i+1 (another period)
    4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
    acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
    file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
    Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
    Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
    values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
    5) Back to 2 if not stop.
    Thank you very much for helping me.

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

    I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

    As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
    SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
    1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
    separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
    your Oracle sales rep about it.
    2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
    version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
    and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
    check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
    as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
    3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
    Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
    into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
    this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
    the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
    5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
    additional information.

    Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue.... 
    so yes,  the solution was to  each log  into the mac separately.
    i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id)   - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
    but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -

  • How to transform a layer object and a path at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I know I am going to kick myself when you tell me the answer to this!
    I would really like to know if there is any way I can manage to to transform both a layer object and a path at the same time....or if there is any workaround to achieve this.
    In a nutshell, say for example I spend a VERY long time creating an intricate path around a very detailed object, and then at the very end notice just how crooked and out of perspective it is, and would like to straighten it.
    Of course I could transform and correct the object, and then carefully transform the path - but it just won't be exact, and I will have to spend a long time adjusting the path and making SURE it is perfect.
    Isn't there any way I could get to transform them together?
    Usually of course I do all the correction to straighten and correct perspective beforehand, but in some instances after I am done creating the path I then notice that the image could have used further adjustments.
    I appreciate so very much any advice you may have:)
    Thank you kindly,
    Christine

    Okay...I found another way as well... suddenly it all started coming to me in the last few minutes:)
    Once the image is on it's own layer, then we can select the path and then make a vector mask by going to "Layer>Vector Mask>Current Path". Once the vector mask is created, simply click on the image icon on it's layer, then transform away to your heart's content, and the path is transformed along with it. Once finished, the path for the vector mask can be saved as usual. (Don't click on the vector mask icon when transforming the image, otherwise only the path will be transformed.)
