hi all,
i have my gmail set to send/receive every 30 minutes but I notice it takes 5-6 minutes to download the email.
i notice it gets 'stuck' at the 'receiving headers' stage for 5-6 minutes then finally it downloads the message(s).
i just noticed this now when i only had 1 new 10kb message.
i believe this is why my battery life has suddenly turned terrible in the last few weeks.
any tips? I'm thinking to just delete my gmail profile and start fresh. i have it to download the last 30 days worth and only 5kb per message. if i change it to last 7 days, would that make a difference? I dont think it would but you never know.

Condition the battery properly and see what happens over a few days.
Mine lasts up to 3 days but average is 2 days of usage per charge for me. I am not a heavy phone user but I send and receive several text messages a day, and use the phone about 1 hour per day minimum but a max of 2 hours, have gmail getting pulled down every 30 minutes and windows live pushing email as it arrives. While at work all day I have a constant connection to 3G and at home I get Edge.
Make sure that your screen is set to the dimmest setting that is good for you
Make sure that your exchange and any internet is set to an interval that's the largest that you can handle
Make sure that you don't have any GPS applications running
Do registry tweaks or run kaisertweak and go through all commonly known settings to help this.
Since two weeks i have officaly upgraded my HD7 Firmware to the latest one with Internet Sharing. Since this date, my battery life is very short. Before the Update and with 100% Battery Power, i have 1 Day, 9 hours Time, after the Update with the same Battery Level only 16 -18 Hours.
Today i have downgraded to the last state via Zune an voila, now i have again 1 Day, 9 Hours remaining time with 97% Battery Level.
For some minutes i have written a mail to HTC Support and will wait for a response. Can anyone here report the same problem?
I'm having the same problem

Hello bilbo_b,
I seem to be experiencing the same problem as you are. And I have been searching everywhere for an explanation for this problem. I think it is really more of a software bug showing the correct/wrong values (at the moment i don't know which is showing the right values). Before the update, it was showing as mentioned, 1 day and xxx amount of hours. However, I found that it is not really accurate because it seems like although the values shown are different, I am actually having the same amount of uptime.
Has HTC replied you?
Regards,
Jiesen
Yes, they have replied, but not es expected. The supporter means, that there are new features in this new firmware and i must live with a little cheaper akku load. thats a shame. that are 15hours difference, thats not a short time of some minutes or one hour!. Again i have replyed to the support mail, that im not exited about the situation. the next response was a mail with some energy saving tips (disable WLAN, disable GPS and so on...). There was now a direct response, that they will investigate in to the problem. Thats the actual state since yesterday evening 6:00 pm German standard time.
what i can say is: it is not only a bug showing incorrect values. it seems that the showed times are most correct. my device has a real shorter life per day with the FW Update. I will wait now for new response from HTC.
I see...Seems like the only way to have longer battery life is to do nothing on the phone. If that's the case, then why have all those features right? LOL. I did try to talk to the customer service of HTC too. They told me to try a battery test i.e. turn off all services (turning on airplane mode), turn off all syncs etc. change the display to BRIGHTEST and screen lock to NEVER, from a full charge. If the battery goes below 60%, I am supposed to send in my device for a repair.
I have done that and it did not go below 60% but close. I guess that just rules out the possibility that it is a hardware issue. However, it does not really explain our problem here. . Looking forward to your updates! thanks bilbo_b
After getting no wise answer from HTC, i have updated my HD7 again. This time the 7740 Update and the HTC FW Update together (last time the 7740 was not available, only the FW). After Updating (which takes some more time as before) my battery was 100% and i have 1 Day and 11 hours remaining. i will see what going on the next days. i will watch this.
I gave up and finally decided to flash a custom rom. I have also just started using anker battery with a 1300mah capacity. I will let you know how it goes.
The battery works at the moment. all is fine. i hope this is now permanent. i will watch it further.
Edit 1: After 1 Recharge, i have 1 day and 15 hours remaining. the last charge was going down to 9% after 1 Day and 14 hours with normal use. great so far. today i will try internet sharing and will look at the battery again.
PS: normal use is: some surfing via WLAN, some surfing via GPRS at a high speed train. normal EMail via Exchange Push service, using of GPS, calls, SMS and so on. there was a 7 hours trip with a highspeed train and fast changing phone cells within this charge.
I got the internet sharing / HTC firmware update a few weeks ago and immediately it was very noticeable that, without changing my habits at all, the battery was lasting only about 50-60%% of what it used to. I used to never have to charge the phone in the middle of the day and would usually make it to 11pm no problem before having to charge. However in the last few weeks I was finding the battery dying at about 3 or 4pm, unless I started charging. I have spare batteries and these made no difference.
However, the 7740 update arrived for me last week and the battery is back to pre-internet-sharing levels; I once again make it through an entire day (unless I've been using internet sharing for a few hours; that does obviously use up a fair bit of battery). So obviously something was fixed by someone in that 7740 update, even though I've seen no announcements or change logs to confirm this.
Okay, I am using Dark Knight 5 (V5) since yesterday afternoon. I put the phone on the charger and took it of 5 hours later. I checked my battery usage 20 minutes later and noticed that "Gallery" was using a LOT of battery... 50% in 20 minutes and haven't used the phone since uncharged. Then I checked my data usage..WTF..700MB in 5 hours! As my plan is 1.5 GB and used already 400MB yesterday, this could have cost me a **** load.
Immediately switched over to WiFi, but how could this happen? Why would my phone, and it seems like "Gallery" specifically, download continuously, for no reason?

your picasa web album sync must be on.. so your gallery would be syncing all your pics in picasa web album to your phone..
It is on, but I always had it on and never noticed such an increase in data usage. I have got about 10 folders, 40 photos each. With syncing the phone shouldn't actually download each photo, it should start when I click on a folder

Well this is the only thing that I can think of for gallery data usage.. you can check by turning of data and wifi whether your pics have been downloaded or not..
Switched both off and checked folders in Gallery, still had to download them. Prob some kind of bug of Dark Knight 5
I have a unusual issue going on with the stock email client. I have five different email accounts set up to sync every 30 minutes between the hours of 7am and 10pm on every day. I do this by setting the normal sync to manual and my peak hours for the time frame specified above. The peak sync frequency is then set to 30 minutes. This works for a day after restarting the phone or clearing the cache but then on the second day it does not. This worked on my S4. Any ideas as to what may be going on?
folks
after taking a very long time trying to get a bluetooth connection i am now waiting a crazy long time "syncing" ?!
i have then upgraded the software and after 3, yes THREE hours of having the watch and messing around ive now got it working
i absolutely hate saying this but apple would NOT put me thru this
but i hate apple more than VERY slow updates and syncs
just stick with it fellas - i will report back after a couple of days
thanks
Just got mine and connecting Bluetooth was quick, but now I'm stuck on syncing. How long did it take for your to sync? Did you do anything to speed it up?
It took mine about 75 minutes to fully complete the sync process. I'd leave it for a solid 2 hours before becoming worried.
Had the same long initial sync of about an hour as well. Wasn't sure if it had frozen buy left it on the charger until complete and it's fine now.
-- from my S6
I have just got mine for Christmas, and now i try to install it, but after a quick bluetooth connexion, i am now aitig for the synchronization, and i am worried for this because of the long time whitout doing anytihng
Could you tell if there is someting to do during this sync ?
Is it normal it takes a very long time ?
Thnak's a lot.
