Stratosphere keeps checking email and killing battery!!

Hello, I am getting VERY frustrated with my Stratosphere.  I recently had it replaced by Verizon because a fully charged battery was lasting 4-6 hours and it was responding very slowly to commands..and I have lots of things already turned off.  I set up my main email account and re-added my 2 additional yahoo mail accounts.  I was able to set it so my main email only checks when I ask, but the Yahoo one will not stop giving me updates !! I keep going in andf turning off notifications in the email setup but it isn't working.  It keeps vibrating and chiming as soon as I uncheck notifications and changes sound to "none".  How do I shut it up and make my battery last? 

    Hello Tapsmom,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We certainly don't want you to have to worry about your battery legnth. When you are entering the settings for the yahoo mail, are you going through the general settings on the phone or going into the app and going into its settings. You should be able to access the app and press the menu button to get settings for those specific email accounts. Then you should be able to change the settings to turn off "notifications" as well as sync. Turning syncing off will allow you to get a manual push once you want to go check the mail. Also, since you have multiple yahoo accounts, are you using the stock Yahoo app or a 3rd party app to check those emails? 3rd party apps may have different push settings that will need to be changed. Please let us know if you need anymore help.

  • My 4S keeps heating up and running battery down, I have deleted apps etc but still overheating?

    MMy 4s keeps over heating and running battery down, have tried reset, deleting apps but not working.  Unable even to put in cover as overheats. ?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:

    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

    I have an iPhone4, used and locked to the UK network. I need to pay for the phone to be officially unlocked.
    In the meantime we used it as a device to check emails and games etc.. We put a pass lock and after many failed attempts we forgot what it is. Now the phone is Disabled and iTunes can not fix it since it can not update the Software without the phone being officially unlocked..
    any idea how to do this?
    Please advice

  • BB Curve 8900 - randomly stops receiving emails and requires battery pull

    I'm a newb to BB and this forum has helped a lot but my BB Curve 8900 randomly stops receiving emails about every 2 days and requires a battery pull to correct.
    When it stops receiving emails and I go to the browser, it is also unable to connect. I basically lose all connection to data. I can receive calls and sms.
    Turning unit off and on does not help.
    I need to do a battery pull. Then starts working fine right away.
    I'm with Rogers in Canada
    Is there a fix for this? Could I possibly have a bad phone? Battery pull once is a while is fine but to need to do that every 2 days is not.

    Something similar happens to me.  I have to keep resending the service books and then it works fine, try this, at least it will stop you keep doing a hard reset.  I have read somewhere else that this can be influenced by having your phone to turn off at night etc.  So for now I have turned this feature off.  I can actually receive emails via wifi and the failure is only on GPRS.  It sounds a bit strange but I am also becoming convinced that it only occurs when I leave home, go somewhere else and then come back.
    Read this below.  I did do all this but it hasnt worked for me, may help you though

  • How can I keep business email and personal email seperate?

    I have both enterprise server business email, and a personal email account (bellsouth.net), setup on my 9300.  The enterprise business email and my phone log post under my regular "messages" icon.  The personal email appears under both the regular message icon and a 2nd message icon (envelope with a small globe). 
    I would like to:
    1. keep my business and personal email accounts completely seperate under different icons.
    2. discontinue logging my phone calls under the "messages" icon.
    3. have it check my personal email only when I request it to, not automatically.
    Can someone help with this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jay.

    Open your Messages folder > Options > Inbox settings and you'll see the mailboxes to include in your main folder, and those to keep separate from your main folder.
    2. discontinue logging my phone calls under the "messages" icon.
    Open your Call Log by pressing the green dial button > Options > Call Logging and disclude any logging.
    3. have it check my personal email only when I request it to, not automatically.
    Not possible. RIM's BlackBerry email is push, and not pull. You can't set a schedule or do it manually.

  • Cannot complete email client form, keep getting error message "Invalid credentials check email and password"

    I have Elements and Premier Photoshop 8 on my windows 7, 64 bit, computer.  I just downloaded the upgrade to #13 for both.  The Elements downloaded ok and transferred pictures from #8.  My problem is that on 13 I cannot configure an email client so I can email my photos to other people.  When I fill out the configure email client form I get an error message that says "Invalid credentials Please check your email address and password and try again"  I did that and continued to receive the same error message. I entered the email address and password I use to get into my adobe account.  How can I solve this problem?

    Hi,
    In the organizer, in the Preferences -> Email, the email address and password is not your Adobe Id, it should be your mail service provider - it could be a Microsoft Account or a Gmail.
    When you normally use emails, you must have an email account with a password - use that.
    If you have to use the "other" type of service provider, it needs to be configured for the SMTP service.

  • 8830 Stops checking email until a battery pull

    Hello:
      I'm pretty new to BB's, the 8830 being my first one. My problem is that I have it set up to check a pop account but it seems that I need to pull the battery almost daily because it stops checking for new messages.  I've tried turning it off/on every which way and checked all the email settings, but it seems like once it loses it's connection, it won't try to check mail again until I've pulled the battery.  But, I'm afraid pulling the battery out every morning is going to wear it out (and me).  Are there any other options or commands I can run to tell my 8830 to check my pop account?  Thanks!

  • LG Cosmos Touch VN270 turns on all the time and kills battery life - how to stop this??

    I lock the phone using the lock button on the side but then I'll notice that the display will come on spontaneously (an hour later or ten minutes later...it varies). I notice there is some symbol flashing (arrows and tiny cell phone icon at top of display)  and when I unlock it I will see a screen for browsing and downloading. This is super annoying because I have to keep recharging the phone even though I barely use it. And I can't find a setting to shut whatever it is off that keeps making it do that.
    It's true that the display dims a minute later but if this is happening all day then it wastes the battery. I can tell because I'm recharging the thing every other day, which I'd really rather not have to do. 
    Solutions??

    Just to add another voice ... I've had the same issue.
    Due to my terms of employment I keep the phone on overnight. Between midnight and 6:00am the backlight comes on and stays on, even though the timer is set to 30 seconds. Once, and only once, I left the volume turned up, instead of vibrate-only, and received detailed instructions on how to set up the email feature. That was not a friendly way to wake up. If I see the back light on, or the Download screen, I can shut it off with the screen lock button. Sometimes it comes back on later. This definitely kills the battery by morning.
    I have worked with various Customer Support people who knew nothing about this issue. They have walked me through the remove battery, reset and reactivate phone, etc. to no success. VZW was kind enough to replace the phone with the same model. The second phone has the same issue.
    The local Verizon store would only tell me to please contact the Customer Service number. The corporate account rep at work has been a black hole, so far.

  • Something is keeping the phone active - kills battery fast!

    I've been monitoring the 'Usage' via the 'Settings' --> 'General' --> 'Usage'. And something is keeping the usage very active even when the phone is in standby.
    I monitored it for the past two evenings, checking the usage before going to sleep only to find the amount of time that I was asleep is added to the usage and the standby. I thought it was Apps, but deleted all, set a lot of settings such as location services, push, etc. to off, and no luck. Monitoring it during the day is similar but not to the same extent because I think that normal use prevents the significant drain that happens at night. I only have MobilMe setup, no Exchange.
    Something network related is constantly or nearly constantly keeping the phone alive, even when in standby mode.
    Any thoughts?

  • Twist wakes up and kills battery

    I just received my Twist back from service and I have a new problem.  I close the lid and it goes to sleep, and all is well.  Then at some point it "sort of" wakes up and the fan starts running.  It will do this, throwing out heat until the battery goes dead.
    If I happen to open it before the battery goes dead, the red light will be pulsing like it is in sleep mode.  But it won't come out; not even after pressing the power button.  The only option is to hold power down till it shuts off, then back on.
    Here's the interesting part; there is nothing in the Event Log about this.  I've had similar problems before where a device was errantly waking the computer and you could see the history of it in the Log.  For this problem, there's nothing in there.  It isn't windows that's doing this.  Could it be a bug in the new (Nov) BIOS?  This is obviously a big problem.

    Hi,
    Here's my guess:  it's waking up based on a timer and then hanging when trying to hibernate or enter 30-day standby.,  Could be  a problem with the cache SSD or how it's configured.  Or something else...
    You can try disabling hibernation in advanced power options and/or disabling 30-day standby in Lenovo Settings.  Not a fix, but it might help diagnose the problem.

  • Can nokia6288 automatic check email and alert?

    same as the subject title. i use email function quite often but everytime i need to check the email manual. Is that anyway to make my phone checkmail by itself in a certain time period?

    You can't set the phone to check regularly (it's annoying, I know, even my old Ericsson T39 would do this). Depending on who your operator and email provider are, you might be able to set up alerts through them. But be careful....if you are just paying a data charge at present, it is likely to end up costing a lot more.

  • I downloaded my software update yesterday but until now i was not able to open my iphone it keeps on blinking and the battery is too low even i kep on charging on it...it will just light up with the apple logo...pls pls help me what should i do with thank

    pls  help.... with my problem with my iphone

    The phone randomly shutting down-that could be a hardware issue. Do you live near an apple store? they could see whats up with the phone. It could very well be something in the software though. A good way to test it would be to follow this article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  and test it for a few days. If it doesn't do the shutting down thing, you know it's a software issue. If it still does it, you know it's a hardware issue.
    As far as deleting the apps, they'll always be there. Just make sure there's not a check mark next to them and they won't sync to your phone =]

  • Using the icons on the bottom of my iPad mini screen I have always been able to check email and surf the net using Safari as well as storing all my photographs.  Suddenly these boxes are empty and I cannot do anything and seem to have lost all of my photo

    I have owned my iPad Mini for 9 months now and am still a novice great granny!  Today I cannot use Safari as it has just gone blank. I cannot retrieve emails, again the screen is blank and all my photographs have disappeared.  Can anyone help me to retrieve this.

    Reset your iPad and see if that fixes this.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
