[Q] Cant stop sync

---

Like many others I have very poor battery life with my handset and if I forget to charge overnight it's empty in the morning.

To try and get as much out as possible I am disableing everything I can in terms of wifi, bluetooth and sync.

Now this is where I'm confused. The phone is linked to my Exchange server for contacts and email with push updates enabled. However even when I disable sync and background data I'm still having email pushed to the device.

This is definately not helping on the battery life front but short of doing a full reset and setup is there anywhere else I should be looking to turn this off when not needed?

you can't, what you can do is to change it to sync once every hr.

Go to Settings > Accounts and sync > Tab on your exchange account > Account Settings > Email check frequency, change it to "Every Hour"

and Amount to synchronize to "1 day", it won't delete email you have downloaded to SGS, it just don't try to sync older day data. --> This will help your battery life

Thats just daft.

Why have the options to disable sync if it's then compleatly ignored. Is this the same for the google account as well? I only have this on the phone for market access but will manually disable all sync on this account if it will help battery life.

Google Mail sync will be manual
even with 1 hr + 1 day setting, I get significant battery life improvement.
