Problems with Battery & Data Manager

---

It looks like the battery modes don't work reliably on my Atrix 2.

1. When a battery saver mode is selected and the battery & data manager turns push off, it does not obey the fetch schedule that the user selects in the e-mail client. Instead it defaults to fetching every 15 min. In fact it does this even if push was not enabled in the first place.

2. The off-peak hours selected in battery modes are not followed by the battery & data manager. Even during peak hours, push is turned off after inactivity (and the e-mail client reverts to fetching every 15 min by default, even if some other fetching schedule was selected by the user beforehand).

3. The “Turn off data after:” option seems to have no effect. No matter what interval is selected here, push is turned off after about 15 min of inactivity from what I can tell.

Is anybody else having problems with battery saver modes?

Nope, haven't had that problem

i have the same problems with email.

Nope I do not have that problem.

I did some more testing and regardless of what battery mode is selected, the e-mail client defaults to fetching every 15 minutes at completely random times from what I can tell (whether or not push is enabled in the first place). This seems to be a problem with Motorola’s custom e-mail client and not the battery modes.

It is interesting that some users are not having this problem.

916x10 or Coldheat– Are either of you on an updated build by any chance?

I am using the device as it came out of the box. System version: 55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US and Build: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-16

I sent an e-mail to Motorola support, let’s see what they have to say (if anything at all). Looks like a lot of Bionic users are having the same issue as well and Motorola failed to resolve it so far.

Im on the same build as you. Did u open the email app, go into settings and pick the sync interval you want?

I did pick an interval, but somehow it would always revert to 15 min when push is enabled. However, I did discover today that push works fine even when this happens. I sent my corporate account several e-mails today from another account at random times and all have come in instantly without problem. When I check the client right after an e-mail comes in, it actually says push is enabled again. So I believe this is simply how the Motorola client works.

Maybe that's why I haven't had this problem, I have never enabled push as I don't have anything that's that urgent that I need to be notified about it immediately. If it's that serious they can call me.

push was automatically enabled for my gmail accounts. i had to physically disable the push in email sync

Never had any of these problems, battery mode always set to nighttime saver. Only have gmail synced to this phone so couldn't say about another email application.
