Iphone 4 battery sometimes drains fast -- problem with Mail app?

My iphone 4 battery often drains too quickly, and I wonder if it has something to do with my Mail App.
When my phone is not playing nice, it drains at least 20% overnight while on Standby, and from 100% to 30% in around 6 hours when I use it during the day. I found a fix (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11775150) that basically says to wipe your mail account and set it up again.
This fix works, but only temporarily for me. I find that I have to keep resetting my mail every few days to get back to "normal battery" where it barely drains overnight. I only use one email account (gmail) -- could there be something going on there?
Oh, and when my battery drains fast, nothing changes when I turn off WiFi, notifications, push, etc. I usually have my mail refresh hourly.
Has anyone had this experience?

  • Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

    hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
    thank you.

    OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee.  You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
    A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

  • Problem with Mail app for Gmail account!

    Hi all,
    I have a Gmail account synced to my Mail app, I have the latest software version: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.
    The problem started couple of weeks ago, when a new folder under the name "Archive" showed up in the left bar of my Mail app. Thereafter, coming messages started to go there instead of coming to my "inbox" folder. This created quite few issues with new coming messages. Can anyone know how to solve that?
    Thank you in advance.
    p.s. I tried to uncheck the box " Gmail.com > settings > Labels > All mail - show in IMAP", this has solved the "archive" issue, as it has disappeared from my Mail right bar. But This has created further issues with coming messages, as I stopped receiving messages at all to my Mail.

    In various occasions the Mail App freezes and the only way to close it is to go to the activity monitor en force quit the program cause it makes the CPU work at 100% without any results. Aditionally I setup my Gmail account in the Mail program according to the instructions and when I delete messages from the all mail folder after a while the appear again after a while.

  • Problems with mail app

    I have a recurring problem with the mail app on my ipod touch 4th generation.  I frequently get the message "cannot get mail.  Connection to server failed", or "cannot find server".  I also often have problems connecting to the app store and itunes, with the message "cannot connect to apple store".  I have no other wi-fi issues.  I can get on safari, facebook, or my other apps just fine.  Do I need to reconfigure my wi-fi settings somehow? I don't know the first thing about it.

  • Weird problem with mail.app

    When I email myself from Road Runner's server the email shows up on mail.app from my email address from road runner (that's okay) and my work email address, which is an entirely different server. I deleted the mail plist file, but that didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?

    Not sure what the problem is based on the description provided.
    The email address that appears as the sending email address for an account has nothing to do with the SMTP server used to send messages with the account.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences, the email address entered in the Email Address field is the email address that appears as the sending email address for the account regardless which SMTP server is used to send messages with the account.
    More info please on what you are trying to resolve.

  • Problem with mail app on Mountain Lion?

    I need help to fix my native mail app, that stoped working. It's blocked. I'm using Mountain Lion OS. My accounts work fine in the Iphone and Ipad.

    hello there, I am jumping in the conversation because I am in the same situation. Up to yesterday evening my mac was working fine, but since this morning, Mail creates a general crash of the system. When I open Maill I have the wheel working for ever, and force quit doesn't help. My solution so far has been to shut down (holding the power button down). I rebooted using the safe boot mode, installed the last update for mountain lion, restart and boom, mail crashed again.
    also finder window doesn't come up front.
    any help welcome.

  • I have a problem with mail app

    I just can't open the mail app. Always appear an error message.

    No. Tried all that. Server finally says they don't understand what's happening so better if I just delete accounts and set them up again from scratch. Haven't done that yet in hopes someone in the Apple world will have found a solution.

  • The problem with mail app using Helvetica font (Mountain lion 10.8.2)

    I used mail application to send an email (Korean Language) with Helvetica font. However, the receiver could not read the content because a mess content with symbols was displayed. How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks a lot

    You didn't really use the Helvetica font, because that font has no Korean characters.  You just sent Korean text in an encoding which the recipient did not understand.  Use the Message > Text Encoding menu before sending to try a few different encodings, like UTF-8, Korean EUC, and Korean Windows, to see which one works best for that receiver.

  • Problem with Mail app

    So, I'm trying to use my Mail application and I don't think I've ever used it before but when I click on the application, I get an error message saying "You have Mail version 4.5. It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 What do I do?!

    I had a similiar issue with my old powerbook, I cannot remember exactly what I did to fix it, but I do know I probably followed these steps.
    1. Make sure your accounts are set up to download the attachment immediately, if so Close Mail.
    2.Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility) and repair Disk Permissions. Open Mail and see if working. If not close Mail again.
    3. Back up all of your Mail, easiest way is to drag the [user]>Library>Mail folder onto your desktop (or external), backing this up will provide you an ability to revert if anything strange happens in this next step. (Backing up from this process can be found numerous places on the discussions, Ill save it unless something does go wrong).
    4. Open Mail, click on the mailbox that had an attachment in it and then under "Mailbox" on the top menu bar select "Rebuild Mailbox." This should take some time, and if for some reason when it finishes all your messages are not in the inbox than you can revert to your backed up files.
    5. As a final option, get your Tiger disks and install OSX 10.4, selecting to archive and install. This will keep all you user info, settings, and documents, but will install a new version of the system folder and with it Mail.app

  • Strange Problem With Mail Leads to Strange Discovery in Console...

    Hello,
    I had a problem with Mail.app that seems to (sort of) be resolved: the 'Mail Activity' monitor indicated a changing download rate, but the progress bar never actually got going, an no mail was downloaded. I let it sit for a long time, searched around these forums, and ended up just erasing all my mailboxes and re-starting Mail fresh, which has at least temporarily solved the problem.
    Over the course of my troubleshooting I ran the console, where I found this curious sequence of messages popping up every minute or so:
    11/06/08 7:58:09 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent[381]) posix_spawn("/Users/**//Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resou rces/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent", ...): Permission denied
    11/06/08 7:58:09 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent[381]) Exited with exit code: 1
    11/06/08 7:58:09 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
    11/06/08 7:58:19 PM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.google.keystone.user.agent[382]) posix_spawn("/Users/**//Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resou rces/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent", ...): Permission denied
    I'm not sure if this was related to the original problem (it was a google account that was frozen in Mail), but I have a feeling my system would be better off without this endless loop running in the background.
    Anyone know what it might be and how I might stop it?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Ian M.

    Agreed - it is annoying!
    One last question ... how should I edit the plist? Haven't done anything like that before, and I haven't used launchctl before either... this is what I've got in the plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • Ref:iphone 3G.I was visiting the US last week.One day my iphone battery completely drained overnight.I re-charged it but ever since it has either come up with a message saying it's registering, or that I need to register it.It was registered years ago.

    Ref: iphone 3G. I was visiting the US last week.  My iphone battery completely drained overnight. I re-charged it but ever since it has either come up with a message saying it's registering or saying I need to register it.  I'm concerned that if I re-register it on itunes I'll lose all my data.  I originally registered it a couple of years or so back, when it was new.  Any advice much appreciated.

    Thank you for quick reply.  The data is still there - every so often when I switch it on, it comes up with the main icon screen, rather than the emegency calls only screen (which it does most of the time), and I can get to my contacts, photos, and so on, but it won't connect to any mobile/cell network provider, including my network here in the UK - O2.
