[Q] Anyone noticed email app keeps phone awake with multiple exchange accounts?

[viva.fidel]

Hi, I have 3 exchange accounts set up on my SGS2, two hotmail-based and one for my university. I did have all 3 accounts using push but notice an absolutely massive drain on my battery, phone is kept awake even when idle, the same is true when any two accounts are on push and one is manual.

However when just one account is set up to sync on push and the others on manual then battery use is negligible.

Anyone experiencing similar results or figured out a workaround?

The email app is based on Seven mail, used to use the beta version on my HTC Desire before and had the same 3 accounts on push and worked perfectly, I've tried to install that app but it recognises the existing app and asks to replace it.. which I don't really want to do.

... whole day I wonder what happen with this phone and how come he stays awake the whole day. And this post reminded me how i added an additional account to the mail client just last night .... Any suggestions (except delete account)

PS: Ok, odd thing. Just removed digital clock from widgets, charged the battery fully and the phone isn't awake for 2 hours now ...

Don't quite understand, are you using the Seven app? Or adding the Accounts in through the integrated email client?

Also Hotmail is not an 'Exchange' account, it's just POP3 (or premium pop, whatever Samsung call it...)

I assume you mean the stock samsung email app?
I was having issues with this keeping the phone awake and I didn't even use the bloody thing, it is now in the freezer and out won't be coming out anytime soon.

I find the vanilla email app a good bit better.

In VRTweaks on VillainROM 1.4

No waking on push exchange syncing

i only have one exchange account, and the Email app is at the top of the battery use list... keep awake @ 1hr when i left the phone idle overnight
