Check out the attached screen shot. That's from Better Battery Stats. Whatever it is, it's eating up my battery. Battery life has been half what it used to be. Any idea what *backup* is and how to keep it from running all the time?
Also, I installed Nitrodesk Touchdown and used it for email on my exchange account for awhile, but it didn't improve the email delay issue so I reduced it from push email to polling once every 24 hrs., but it's still running a lot. Any idea how to reduce that?

You may have enable option 'Keep backup of android device' while adding google account, just disable it
Thanks, that was it. I disabled it and froze Nitrodesk Touchdown, and my battery life shot up. Like 35 hours instead of 15.
I have the same issue on my I9100. How can I disable the backup function afterwards?
Edit: Found it

Hah! I love that. It is a setting to send all your passwords to Google, and it is under 'Privacy'!
Luckily I automatically unchecked that when I set up the account. I mean, seriously, rely on their security? What kind of security plan is that for anyone to adopt?
Does the Google backup really use a noticeable amount of battery? I like the convenience of it, but I'd turn it off for better battery life.

should i uncheck both options?
Back up my data
Automatic restore
i didnot understand the use of Automatic restore. when we update apps, we get our old data back. if i uncheck this will i lose saved data from older version?
edit: both options were checked for me. i unchecked it immediately. any other such hidden settings i might have missed? hope the battery life increases now.
Once you uncheck first option, other will disable automatically. B'coz if it dont backup your data, there is no question to restore it.
With this unchecking you wont lose anything right now. it is for next use, In case of you hard reset, it will restore some data automatically, in case of you have enable it.
But better you can use titanium backup or mybackup pro to do this n make schedule to backup at desired time. It won't kill your battery by sync all the time.
I never enable this function.
Had this same problem with my S3, unchecked the boxes after reading this. Is the something we can freeze in Titanium backup aswell? All i can see is /system/app/backuprestoreconfirmation
out of 7 hours on time it kept my phone awake for 5 of them! its mental.
Just unchecked the backup option. Note that google doesn't back up you phone constantly, it only happens a few times a month.
But why take chances?
Does this option interfere with the contact back-up from my gmail adress ?
These wakelocks are a major issue in all androids...
I had these wakelocks with my Motorola Milestone (because of WiFi, GPS, ...) and now on the Note with several ROMs. It should not be so easy for a userspace app to raise such a lock ... maybe some developer can write an app that notifies the user if the device does not sleep? And, even better, ask for killing and deinstalling the misbehaving app, if possible, even from the market...

There is an app already for that.. I'm not sure if it had been suggested already before but it is called CpuSPy (look for it in google play). What the app simply do is to monitor in the background and constantly you can tap on it and see if your phone is in a very deep sleep or not (it has a bar to determine how much or how little your phone goes into deep sleep). Also you can try to install Betterbatterystat(also from google play) to see which app or apps are causing the wakelocks on your phone. After you've verified those 'misbehaving app/s', then that'll be the time you can uninstall /remove it for yourself. Killing it won't do any good at all, because the moment you restart your phone, the said process/app would simply start back again as well. You need to really uninstall it thru Titanium backup.
On the side note. I don't think there will ever be an app that you can automate to uninstall any 'misbehaving apps' in your phone as Google generally has laws on it, governing some stance that says something to the effect as "no apps can be allowed to violate or remove other apps on the phone automatically". It would still be the user's discretion to manually uninstall those rogue apps by himself on his phone.
Hope that helps a bit.
Cheers!
What does the "data" mean here? Like Titan Backup?
But every time I flashed a new ROM, it seems like I still need to retype my WIFI password and no app data was restored
Specifically the one in this screenshot http://imgur.com/THpg57A
I like to toggle mobile data on/off as needed and this is incredibly annoying.
Thanks .
Just go to setting>data usage, adjust the data warning line(yellow)

That's not it, the warning has nothing to do with that. It's specific to Sony devices.
Download the app elixir2 open it up and select system apps. Go to phone and select view details, scroll down to services and search for DataTrafficExceptMmsNotifier and disable iz
Thanks, worked perfectly for the notification when disabling data.
Now I just need a way of disabling this popup when data is enabled and I'll be happy.
I have a problem with my htc one m7. It seems that background data doesn't get turned on. I have the following settings:
mobile data: checked
limit mobile data usage: unchecked
alter me about data usage: unchecked
restrict background data: unchecked
sleep mode is also off
I use the stock rom with bulletproof kernel.
The app i use most is whatsapp. But i only receive messages when i open the app. When i play a online multiplayer game (which obviously needs internet connection) i do get the messages coming in.
I've searched on google and asked on another forum but i can't find any solutions.
Does anyone have a clue?
Help is appreciated!

Need a tasker profile which can disable my mobile data only for some specific apps.it means If I start those apps then my mobile data would automatically disabled and when I close them Data service should be enbled.If any one know this or can help on this then That wud be very helpfull
No clue how to do this, or what I'm going to suggest. But, have you thought about maybe going the other way where you block all internet access to the app?
edit: actually a quick google search gave me all the answers keyword: block internet access android app

The secure settings plugin has a toggle for mobile data, you'd just have to trigger it with an app. I do this with GPS.
Edit: I tried it with mobile data but it throws an error. In theory it should work but doesn't seem to be.

I don't understand what you mean by "put all apps to Wifi".
I do know that if you have a wifi connection with internet access (no ! on the wifi status bar icon) and mobile data turned on, then the system will use the wifi connection in preference to the mobile data connection.
If you don't want to use mobile data, you can just turn it off in Settings>SIM & network>Mobile data or from Quick Settings if you have it there. You will still be able to get phone calls and SMS.

mate let me explain
I want to try the free Facebook, so I need to turn on my mobile data for this.
so I did that but I don't want other apps use any data in background so I set all apps to "WiFi Only" also I did that for system apps
but my problem is even when I do that, it's still showing that I'm using mobile data and something using it in the background.
it was working alright on the android 7.
thank you!!

Ah, now I understand.
I assume that you can't tell from the Settings>Mobile data usage who is using the data?
I don't know if this is off any relevance, but there's a number of apps that have unrestricted data access (Settings>Apps> Special access>Unrestricted data access).
Have you considered running a network activity monitoring app?

I know the problem now
probably I have to disable the first choice "background data"
but I should do it for each app... and I have more than 130 app that's impossible...
