Any idea why Email keeps my phone awake for 55 minutes when it is set to sync once every 4 hours?

How much email do you normally get? It appears that it takes 14 minutes or so to sync fully, each time it syncs (if each sync is equal in size).

Mine does this as well and I am pushing 2 email accounts. One is a corporate email account and the other is my Gmail that I have set as a corporate account also because I like having a unified inbox and I like the stock email app over the Gmail app...
Syncing takes like 30 seconds. Where did you get 14 min

Uhh, math, his phone was on for 16 hours, email was set to sync every 4 hours, and had a wakelock of 55 minutes. So 55 minutes /4 is just under 14 minutes (assuming each sync takes the same amount of time). The op never said how much email he gets in those 4 hours, or how large the emails are, or how fast (or slow) his Internet connection is when he is trying to download the email.
The amount of email, the size of the emails, and the connection speed all contribute to how fast, or in this case, how slow the email sync is. And that all occurs after a connection is made, which can have problems of its own.

Phone is on WiFi and it only downloaded like 3 or 4 e-mails in that time period, none with attachments.

Hmmn, strange. I personally hate the stock moto email client, so I'm running dhacker's cm10. Personally didn't notice any problematic wakelocks when I was using the stock app, but I had an exchange account set to push and 2 other email accounts set to sync every 30 minutes (main problem I was having is that it didn't work with encrypted emails and certificates). You could try to use the 4.0.4 ICS aosp email app, someone said they were able to get it working under jb.
Also, sorry, didn't realize that you made the thread when I wrote my last post.

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.

Hello people,
Having serious problem with my mail since it's drains my battery!
I have 3 exchange accounts (2 Hotmail, 1 MS exchange of my work) and the problem is that something called MAIL_SERVICE keeps my device awake all the time (used betterbattrystats).
For testing proposes I only set 1 Hotmail account, but the problem still remains.
I configured it to be by push so maybe it has something to do with it.
Using cognition 1.31, with ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel.
In addition I installed the premium mail services that the designer of cognition removed.
added some photos for u to understand better!
thanks thanks thanks!!!
I have been sitting for 4 days in a row to understand better and to fix this annoying problem!!!
Well you have the mail accounts set up with Auto Sync dude, so that will keep the device awake and which is clear by your graph. So it's very normal battery drain will be more than normal. You have to change it to Manual Sync/Refresh to get better battery life mate.
Regards.

Yes I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think it should behave like it.
For example whatsapp or viber are also push apps but non of them is connected all the time.
In addition, I think its more like the mail is kind of stuck during the communication with the server.
Can more people confirm that the mail should behave like its behaving for me???
Thanks guys

Just noticed mail is awake for one hour and 40 minutes and that's allllot! Couldn't be because of the push
And note that the mail is also using about 50 mb a day which is a looot for 2kb emails and less then 10 mails...
That's the only thing left for me to say its the best device on earth...
If ill fix it I can die happy

Does anyone here have an exchange account on their note, and has noticed that on occasion the email and calendar apps are eating the battery?
This is the second time this has happened to me. As you'll see by my screenshot, the usage is even higher than the display and is keeping the phone awake. This happened to me this past weekend and I deleted the account and re-added it. That seemed to clear up the issue but now it's back.
Anyone else experience this?

I had the issue with email. I just went into settings and adjusted the sync schedule. I basically turned email off while I was asleep. That worked wonders for me.

This happens to me all the time. I think it is an issue that Android has when syncing to exchange servers. mine consistently will lose sync and I get repeated unable to connect messages so basically exchange just keeps the phone awake in constant attempt to sync. I've tried other email exchange apps and they work for a few days or more but then the issue starts up again. This was a problem on my epic 4g, evo4g and my Samsung intercept. I think your best bet is to do what you've been doing, monitor when your phone is acting up, remove your exchange account and add it back in again. That's pretty much what I do now. I wish sometimes that I didn't have to use my phone for work. Fyi with touchdown email clients app this has never been an issue. Try the 30 day trial. I just didn't want to spend the money on the app.

Install CPU Spy - I'll bet that you'll see it is keeping the CPU on a high speed and not entering deep sleep. Then kill the email app via the Task Manager and go back to see if that solves the CPU.

I'm assuming that you are using exchange sync'ed. I do, getting e-mail fine, calendar just isn't working. After a little google fu', there are multiple reports of the same thing. If yours is working, it maybe an exchange issue on my end then.
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread.
Thanks.

I just double checked and it says my calendar is synced with exchange. I also know that I am able to accept meeting requests from within exchange emails and it adds it to my my calendar.
Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I use Jorte as my main calendar which is also synced to my Google calendar.

How's 3G around your area? are you always on wifi? are you using the Mail app or the GMail client?
Normally it should pop up within a few min of receiving it on your mailbox, there are instances where I get it first in my phone then in my mailbox. I would suggest removing doing a Factory Reset (please backup first) and trying again if it doesn't resolve itself.
Also check your Gmail settings, make sure (just in case, because it might already be) that IMAP is enabled. Other than this, don't know what to say...
Hope this helps.
Gmail client - must be the 3G cause I tried on wifi and received it instantly.
Push is push the there is no frequency for it. It's live.

Set up your gmail account within the "regular" email app also. Then go into setting and you will see 4 options, one lets you set email size limits, sync intervals and limit emails if you want too.

Hey all,
I got the Tmobile version of the S6 Edge yesterday and the battery life seemed pretty decent as long as wifi was off - at least until I added my email accounts to my phone.
I've noticed that the Email Sync is taking up a ton of battery on my phone - according to the battery usage meter Email Sync is using 19% with the next highest being the screen at 3%! Its only been on for 5 hours and its already at 42%.
I did add a lot of accounts - 7 total all either exchange or microsoft live/outlook accounts and all setup to download a months worth of emails and push new emails as they arrive. However, with every other phone I've used this hasn't been an issue (two most recent were a Nexus 5 and an LG G3).
Is anyone else having abnormally high battery drain from Email Sync using the native email client? And if so, how did you go about fixing it?

I am having the exact same issue with only 3 accounts- looking for solutions...
This is the main issue I'm having. It was draining 5-10% an hour while not in use due to email sync. I have one email set up for that. I have it set to manual sync now and I'm only losing 1% an hour while not in use. I have the Volte option and Wifi options turned on (but not wifi itself) with no draining issues like other people.
I had the same drain. So I downloaded another email app and been using that instead.
Same issue here, abandoned it for another app, Waiting for a solution.
Did the same honestly - using mailwise right now but it isn't as full-featured as the native Samsung one. What is everyone else using?
Does the high email battery usuage cause Google Service battery drain for anyone else? I browse Reddit for about 30-50 mins each night before going to bed and it usually drops 10-15% but when I wake up, Screen is never on the top of battery usage. It's usually Google Services followed by email, and other stuff. VoLTE and Wifi scanning/calling is turned off for me and I leave location off until I need it so does anyone have any idea?

I have 3 accounts as well and email is draining my battery
Are you people talking bout the Gmail app also or just Email app? If you guys add those accounts to Gmail app does it do the same thing?
I am using the Gmail app for Gmail and the Samsung app for MSN and Exchange ActiveSync for work I have since removed the Samsung accounts and installed CloudMagic and I'm going to see how that works
I too have The same problem since yesterday. And I only use one account.. so a solution would be welcome.
Edit: I use the email app not the Gmail.

Last night I moved my exchange active sync account and my msn account to cloud magic, left my gmail account in the gmail app and deleted the accounts from the samsung mail app and after a little over 3 hours I still have 95% battery life. Very happy with these results so far.

Had the same problem I am on day 3 with my edge. Think I have found a solution, I have the stock app running with 4 mail accounts 3 gmail and one outlook. I have used the stock app because i like the interface. I also use Gmail with the same 4 mail accounts as when the push to my Moto 360 i can reply only using the Gmail app. I have also 1 gmail running in the inbox app.
The samsung app was using by far the most system resources and battery.
This is what i tried, mail pushes ok, and the email not showing in the battery use list.
Go into the email app then more top right. Go to settings, click on an account, scroll to sync schedule and press, set sync schedule to auto (when received) in top field. Turn off peak schedule green switch to disable. Back out and repeat with other accounts mail will now push to phone. if you want to sync a month or so back do that first until you have mail on device then follow the above steps. Seems to work fine. Without the above steps the mail app would eventually calm down after caching all previous mail. Gmail etc caches in the cloud whereas the samsung app needs to retrieve it.
me too
Just wanted to add that I also have ridiculous battery drain from emailsync. I have only one exchange email attached to the email app and it has kept my cell radio on almost constantly today. I just removed my exchange account and I'll report back if this changes my battery life. Turning mail to push instead of syncing did not appear to fix anything.

Emailsync is the problem
Hi
Same problem here with emailsync killing my battery.
Tried the solution suggested, disabled Sync schedule and made sure
Sync was set to push (auto when recieved) and the results are the same.
Emailsync is using 60% battery consumption.
Need a resolution quickly, otherwise will take the phone back.

Same here. Ditched the stock email app and installed Type Mail(formerly Blue Mail) so will see how it goes.
Although the stock email app is ok, Type Mail is by far the best I've used. And I've tried them all!!
Hi all as far back as I can remember the email app always used a lot more battery than Gmail . For the last 6 years I have used Google to collect and emulate the other accounts.
On my galaxy s2 it meant the battery difference was between 6 hours use on email and over 12 hours using Gmail I am guessing it's not changed over the years.
set email sync to 2 hours
i have the same problem.
battery drains in 6-8 hours max and device becomes hot.
looking at the battery usage, the email sync service is keeping the device awake all the type.
it means it's never sleeping.
i'll try two things:
1- disable email sync push or auto service and set it scheduled (every 2 hours or any other parameter)
that seems working for the last 30 minutes. device is cool now and i only lost 1% even using whatsapp. will try it for longer period.
2- if this doesn't work, i'll move exchange active sync to the Gmail app. there is an app on apkmirror that allows you to do so or use a third party email service like cloud magic.
fingers crossed...
switched to Type Mail, so far so good right now.
update
switched to Typemail and battery is at 84% at 11:30am, huge difference. (ONE DRAWBACK - cant sync Exchange Calendar, when i do add my business email account, Emailsync still goes nuts even with emails disabled and calendar ON sync.)
Emailsync was killing it, at the end of most days, phone would be dead at 4pm. Im a heavy user of phone, sms, and email, 3 core features that shouldnt be draining the battery that much.
So until an update is out, STAY THE AWAY FROM NATIVE EMAIL APP. Its a battery killer, and you will not get your utilisation out of your Edge.
Anyone else find any other solutions to this issue with Emailsync???
