Anyone else notice the stock mail app in 4.4 draining the battery like crazy? I only have one mail account setup on mine, and it checks mail every 15 mins.
Phone has been on 2 hours and 21 minutes, and keep awake is 2 hours for the email app.

There is a problem with the stock email app (not gmail). They pushed a fix to the code but won't be released until the next OTA.

Thanks. I hope my issue is the same. I am not using Exchange. People on there are taking about Exchange Services eating their battery, and on mine it is just the Email app.
I hope they update the app soon.

Disable the app via settings, then see if your battery improves.

They released the 4.4.1 update for sideloading and it's resolved the email exchange issues I've had on my nexus 4.

I'm only just beginning to test, but a new app seems to have been released:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.watto.program.android.sync.facebook&feature=search_result
Figured it might be useful to those that want to see contact details (not just the pictures).
So far the app seems to work perfectly with only one exception... it sync's the birthday info as "Event" in the contact account instead of "Birthday".
The issue with that is that apps/widgets that track/display birthdays don't pick it up properly.
I sent an email to the dev, new app so may be something he will quickly fix. If not, the source code is actually available on his site, which is nice.
Yeah, I'm using it now, it's working well the only thing is... to keep the pictures synced completely you need to "join" contacts with the Facebook contact being the primary contact. Which usually means that my contacts all have stupid names because I have stupid friends.
So I'm using Sync my pics as well.

Dev has already uploaded a fixed version for the Events/Birthday issue and emailed me about it.
Super responsive and is still working perfectly.
Warning. This app eats battery life. It doesn't close. I'd much rather run syncmypix every couple days then have this running constantly, it was at 26%!

Hrm, sure you're talking about the right app? This sets up a sync service, there isn't a standalone app or anything. It syncs my data and then doesn't do anything for 24 hours (you can pick the frequency).
Anyway, no such issue on my device at least.
That hasn't been my experience. Set it to sync less often

I love the UNL3ASH3D ROM so far, but it altered the account setup. I can only do gmail, yahoo, or corporate sync. This is a big negative for me. Any ideas how to fix it? I need to be able to add an IMAP account by server name.
I'm using a third party app but not that happy with it.

I had the same issue, and currently there is no fix. So I went back to stock ROM.
Not happy as I was very please with the Unl3ash3d ROM. I sent DroidTh3ory a PM and this is what he said.
Thanks, im glad you are liking it. There was a issue with the email app but I do have it taken care of.

I have checked every day on the Unl3ash3d thread for an update but nothing so far.
I thought I was the only one and was going crazy. I started using the K9 E-Mail app, but it was draining battery (possibly)
Switched back to stock rom as well, i loved the ROM otherwise... But I NEEDED the mail app, I was most comfortable with it too, and able to change the settings on it to only sync every 3 hours, which saves tremendous battery
Ya, I am currently using the K9 app as well. Hopefully there is an update soon to fix it.

I can't figure out how to switch accounts in the stock email unless I get a new email on the other account!
Something I am missing?
I'm experiencing a problem when I launch the gmail app.The issue is this: once Gmail tries to open the screen on the Xoom 4G LTE turns white and blinks until I close the app. I'm running the Gmail app ver. 3.2.6. I've removed my gmail account from the Xoom then synced it back and it worked fine for part of the day and now it's back to the blinking every time I open gmail. This is the first time I have seen this any help or insite will help Thanks in advance!

Hello
Is there somewhere a fix for this bug ? Is google being fixing it ?
I've got exactly the same trouble on my A500, and I didn't found a lot of people reporting it...
Furthermore, the gmail app crash but not report is possible... and sometimes (like now) the app works just fine...
(if you know a good app for gmail account let me know please)
Thank you
Alex

This thread is 3 months old now, and I am pretty sure the problem for most of us is fixed. Have you tried updating the Gmail application from the store?
Pebble finally released its official 2.0 update to Android and I did a quick review on what to expect! Check it out!

Can't help, I'm using Notifications Center. But mine is not failing. I went from b11 to official through Google Playstore.
Yeah Idk. Uninstall and reinstall. That's the only suggestion I have.

How are people finding it?
I went from Beta 10 (bought my watch the day it came out)
-it was crap, buggy, slow, the app store made my phone hot and chewed the battery.
to Beta 7 (the release prior to "app store")
-no app store. instant responses. worked pretty well
to Beta 11
-still a bit slow, but the Pebble app behaved and battery use was okay. App store worked better (could scroll back and forth between watch faces)
to Official
-barely tested before an update came out
to Official.. (update 1?)
-is okay.. not as fast as Beta 7 still.
-Phone has started crashing.
-Powered off at 3am the other day (GSAM graph and Sleep as Android had data until then)
-Froze on the app store this morning. Then crashed.
..not sure whether I'll try uninstalling everything or perhaps flashing a new ROM.
Incidentally, I have a mate who won't move off of Beta 7
Official got an update today. Working very well so far
I changed my rom and it seemed to have fixed the problem I was having earlier.

After I received my Pebble, the firmware was updated to the latest version 2. I had been using with my Note 3 on stock KitKat and found that almost half the time, it will lose the bluetooth connection. Has anyone using Note 3 encounter this issue?
Today I got very frustrated with it and tried factory reset of the Pebble but still has same issue. I even tried Pebblebits but the issue remains.
I tried to flash the beta 9, 10, and 11 but didn't manage to flash. Is there anyway to go back to the last most updated version 1 firmware? The only reason I want to do that is to find out if my issue is Pebble or rom very issue.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
V2.0.2 firmware updated on my Pebble. Hopefully the bluetooth issue I had will be resolved.
Edit:
Did factory reset on my Pebble a few times but still cannot solve the problem.
Next, suspected that Notification Center seems to cause the BT disconnection, so I removed it. Tried other free notification apps but still had problem with BT disconnection.
Decided to purchase YaNC PRO and unfortunately still had BT disconnection.
The last straw was to reboot my Note 3.
Looks like the BT disconnection is gone. Notifications are also coming in now. Hopefully this situation continues.
Edit:
It's slightly improved but at times, I still face BT disconnections, ie notifications not sending to my Pebble even when the notification bar shows the Pebble is connected.
Of anyone has any suggestions, please share with me. Thank you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I have a disconnection too. But this is a data type connection. If I have weather on the watch it wont update, when I do a manual update on the watch it says disconnected. The way to get it back is to reboot the phone, or go to the support tab, have it check for a update, and let it force close, then its OK for a while. I'm currently use Kitkat (Custom ROM),unfortunately I had to remove weather from my watch.

I was worried because I just bought this Pebble and I thought mine was a faulty unit.
I"m using Pebble with my Galaxy S3 (rooted stock ROM) and I had several times problem with random disconnection and reconnection of BT connection with Pebbles.
Always solved by default reset of Pebble + removing / installation of Pebble application.
Hope that it will help sb who have same problem...

Hi
Same thing here. Happens 4 times so far. And any time it happens, it starts to reinstall a lot of apps of other devices I don't need in the camera. Really annoying. Hope Samsung will fix the bug asap.

Mine loses my Google account every 1-3 days. Once it stayed for a week!
Annoying that I have to keep going into the Settings/Accounts and re-add it. It is the only account that gets 'lost'. I have Dropbox and Samsung account on the camera since day one and they are still there.
Oddly enough, I have not heard any other discussions of this other than here; that I am glad I found.
It's weird how settings all of a sudden get removed ?

Exactly.
I did manage to find several other folks on Android Central.com forums that report the very same issue.
No answers though.
Ended up buying another galaxy 2 amazon is a German version (they did refund me £68 when I complained) and I can confirm the German one does the same this is DBT VERSION not BTU so it is definitely a firmware issue

It keeps forgetting my google account even without Facebook app... In fact when I first got it I entered the data, it all worked; went on vacation, when I got there, I had to enter it again. 8 consecutive times. Then it remembered. Until today... Contacted Samsung support, let's see what they say.

I'm in the same position. Even without FB I keep losing my Google data. Please feed back on what Samsung support say!
I never have had FB app installed yet have this issue.
Via a tech chat session, a Samsung support tech told me to force stop and clear data/cache on the Google Account Manager app. Seemed like a reasonable solution, but it didn't work/last overnight. What was interesting is that there was literally no delay in the chat when I posted the problem and the tech offered that solution. Clearly, they are aware of the issue. Now they just need to solve it.
I think I've discovered a work-around solution -- I turned off the Fast power-on feature (Settings/More/Power/Fast Power-on). I haven't haven't had the Google account disappear nor the wallpaper (which usually happens at the same time) in almost 48 hours. Of course, the caveat to that is that is that it can take longer to startup your camera after it's been idle for a while, but you can resolve that issue by increasing the auto power off from the default 1 hour to something more when you're going to be using the camera more frequently.
Same issue here, i am reflashing the rom and i will check off the fast power on if fix it.
Well, it's been about two weeks since I disabled the fast power-on feature and I've lost my Google settings only once during that time, so it appears to help.
