Running stock Nexus S with background data and auto-sync both checked in settings. I'm running the mail app not the gmail app and have 3 accounts setup on IMAP with 15 min sync. Weather/news widget also does not sync. I have it set to every 6 hours and when I just checked it said last update 18hr ago??
1. It does not sync in 15
2. When I manually sync each account it is way slow
3. Weather/news sync also slow
I think the phone has some confusion running wifi + 3G
Any suggestions?? Others with similar issues? I'm used to instant sync on IMAP on 2G!
not a single reply??
I don't use the mail app (Gmail app) but I've heard that not using push when using IMAP leads to the phone failing to sync and draining the battery really fast eventually. It happens when it tries to sync during one of the scheduled syncs and there's no service at the time or something, and then it goes fubar. Not sure if they've fixed this, but it was doing it on my friend's Nexus One until I changed it to push.
Anyway, is your battery noticeably bad for some strange reason? =)

I always uses google services. Including google calendar / email, etc.
I have set up my wm6.5 with activesync and it sync my email and calendar fine.
However, I found that the activesync will sometimes hog up my mobile's CPU for more than half and hours. I felt the phone unresponsive and heat up fast. I can hardly switch on the task manager but I managed to find the responsible program for this - activesync. It uses up all available CPU for a long long long time. Some times it drains all the battery and my phone just shut down itself. During the time, I will not able to start the activesync client and soft reset is the only solution.
I used to have activesync's schedule set to "As it arrives" but I turn it to like by "2 hours" now. Thing is now better but it still happens.
I can live with high cpu loading while it was checking mail or sync with calendar but I certainly not convinced that it required more than 10 minutes for that.
Please share your experience.
I have tried Google Sync two times. After a couple of syncs that worked OK an error appeared, something like a configuration change in the server, sync error. Then when I synced, all my calendar items were duplicated and all my contacts reversed First Name with Last Name. And the phone was set to overwrite the server if something is wrong/error. Thank to the backup.
Okay.. gotta to change the information. It is NOT related to google service. it is solely the problem of activesync. I have reset my phone and not setting up any sync services. But the activesync kicks in again and once again used up all CPU time. Even with no internet connection. (Radio Off)
This is a ****......... I hate it.
Hmmm... I've never had a problem using Activesync+Google with Laurentius's Rom.
I sync Google Calender with Activesync, contacts with Microsoft MyPhone, and email with my own Pop3 provider (Fastmail).
Good luck
Hi,
I have been my Yahoo Mail since pocketpc days. I added Yahoo Mail in the Mail tab and set to auto receive every 30mins to check mail. However, ever since I start using HD2, I have been experiencing this error of receiving all the mails in my Yahoo account. Example, I have set to receive mails up to 3 days old, however, my device will download all the mails in my Yahoo account to the very first mail that I have since years ago. As a results, thousand of old mail bombed my phone and it resulted in a laggy and almost hanging device. Anyone here experience this problem b4 ? How do I go about solving this ? Thanks
Added : This problem does not happen everytime. It happens randomly...
you need to go to settings in your inbox and change options from download all to what you want...3 days....1 week ....1 month! hope that helps
yahoo sucks with windows mobile why not switch to a email provider with active sync capabilities like gmail or hotmail. that way it shows mail instantly. but i think it gets better battery life vs checking every 30 mins

hi,
thanks for ur prompt reply. I have set to 3 days. However, randomly it will receive all mails in the account. I have no idea why. As I am posting now, my phone has received all my mails again. It was set as 3 days. But I have mails dated years ago .. this is so irritating. Anyone else knows why ?
I'm experiancing the same problem, I tried even to set up the Yahoo mail manuely, but the phone will still upload randomly all email in my account, thats almost 4000 emails.
I noticed that it happens only when an alarm reminder is on snooze.
Same problem but even worse...
Yahoo Mails inability to work with the HD2 will drain my battery over night bc active synch will be running all night long trying to connect and disconnect to yahoo mail. Ive abandoned yahoo mail all together. I dont know enough to figure out who is to blame here, WinMo or Yahoo but the bottom line is Yahoo mail doesnt work properly on the HD2 results in lag, full inbox downloading, freezing, eats up all the resources heats the phone up to max and kills the phone, its just not worth using yahoo anymore
The thing about changing the update frequency has nothing to do with how many emails it downloads or its inability to set up a smooth connection to the yahoo server. It just buggy and simply doesnt work with any sort of reliability in fact its worse than unreliable its actually a liability bc I have to spend an hour every few days deleting the email account just to restore functionality to my phone. Takes like 20 minutes literally for WinMo to delete an account. Totally lags the phone takes forever...
Hi,
I'm using the stock EMAIL app that comes on the phone (not sure if this is the stock Jelly bean app or a Samsung version). I'm using it because it works with my work's Exchange email/calendar nicely. I also have a Gmail account and my personal Email (my own website with email support) which is IMAP. The Exchange and Gmail seem to work fine. I have Exchange setup for push and I'll sometime get emails even before my desktop/Outlook see them. I don't use Gmail that much (only a couple emails a week) so I set it up to sync every 4 hours and that seems fine.
My personal IMAP account I get probably 30 email a day. I set up the program to sync every 10 minutes. It seems to just stop syncing for some reason I cant figure out. For example today, I received several emails overnight and a couple in the morning and the phone synced them fine. When I got to work and checked ~11am I had 5 messages waiting (using Thunderbird on my desktop) and when I checked the phone it didn't have them. If I go to the Inbox it says last sync was at 8:49am. The program will then do a sync and presto, all 5 messages popped up. But now all day the phone will not sync unless I go check my inbox which appears to force a sync.
So I know the information (account, password,..) are OK since it manually syncs no problem. I didn't try today but in the past if I change the sync interval to something else (5 or 15 minutes) it seems to sync for a while and then stop again. I tried deleting the account and then re-created it and that seemed to work for a while.
I have "sync while roaming set" and I do not set up a peak sync schedule so it should always be the same.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm pretty sure the stock email app is syncing through push, altough it's set to check mails only every hour. Mails are received on my phone even before they show up in Outlook.
Is it just imagination? BBS shows more alarms for the email app than needed for syncing my 3 accounts once an hour. I've noticed this behaviour since many wipes, using different gapps.
I would like to share a solution that worked for me.
Understand that this worked for me, I am not saying that this will work for you.
I was suffering from a huge battery drain, I noticed that it was coming from "Exchange Services" (I have an Exchange account on the default Email App, specifically an Outlook.com account). The Exchange services were keeping my phone awake all the time and using wifi/mobile data.
What I did was disable Tasks syncronization (I kept email, calendar and contacts synchronization active). Then I changed my syncronization interval from automatic (push) to manual, this did Exchange to stop any data activity, after this I changed back the syncronization interval to automatic (push) again.
So the problem I found is that Exchange services couldn't syncronize any Tasks, it was just trying... and trying... while this my phone was being awake, downloading a lot of data (almost 1MB per minute) and draining my battery (1% every 2~3minutes).
So if you're having battery drain and uses an Exchange account on your phone, you won't get hurt for trying this
