With activesync running I only get about 4 hrs of battery life. Turn it off and the battery lasts forever. Any ideas?

I have ActiveSync going with 3 accounts and I usually get 10-12 hours. Something else is draining your battery.

No its defineatly EAS. I can turn it off and probably get two days. turn it back on and just watch the battery drain. Are there any settings/adjustments to EAS that you know of that could help? Thanks.

When it occurs, how is your signal? Are you on WiFi? It seems that your device is having excessive failures connecting to the server or vice versa.

Do you just turn of synching to the AES account? Have you tried removing the account and the re-adding it?

Well if you turn it off, of course it will run for days...it's never going to sync or talk to the server. You are looking in the wrong spot. It is something else - guaranteed.

if you have a corrupt contact or calendar entry it can sync many times draing battery

Start with this.



In outlook Make a new folder for contacts called backup

move all contacts to the folder and wait for all to be removed from device

then pull battery on device and put back in

After device boots move contacts from backup to the contacts folder and wait for them all to appear

Make a new contact in outlook and see if it gets to the device.

Also this works well too
