[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
I am using the exchange email (yellow and white icon) that comes stock in android 4.2, and I have it set to Push notification which is suppose to help with battery, and i have turned off that setting that says "auto download attachments on WIFI only" but that setting is for WIFI only which doesnt make sense cause even with it off, when I am on regular 4G data, its still killing battery.....

I give up...maybe with all the current complaints on this issue, google may send out a new update.....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
i wish i could help, but i'm using my Nexus 4 the exact same as yours (100% stock) and i've not had any of those problems (my Exchange Service is sitting at 3%), so it may not be as widespread as you think.

good luck with this though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Question to the OP. Are you adding your exchange through the email app or in settings > accounts > corporate?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
its weird i know, but if you spend as many hours, days, searching the internet like I have, you will find how many many people are having this issue on android 4.1 and above.....My head hurts from reading so many threads with my exact issue, and people giving some temp fixes, and some fixes that didnt even work....its frustrating,

but i will say i just re-added my exchange email and chose 1 month of emails to download rather then "automatic" and so far its creeping up to 2% but getting hot.....its at 92 degrees
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
ah, good question, so I have tested both methods, adding it through the "corporate" option, and adding it through "email" option, both gave me identical issues....do you know which method I should be using? I mean i already tried both, and both were draining my battery but if I can just focus on just one method then it wont drive me crazy.....The only difference I notice is, when you do it through "corporate" it goes straight into the exchange settings, when you go through the "email" method it will ask you after entering the email address and password, "POP3, IMAP, and exchange...i chose exchange, and then it goes into the default exchange settings area just like the email option....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I was just curious because I use the "corporate" method with my work account, but don't have any issues. I will see heavy battery drain if our server goes down, otherwise I don't have issues.

Another thing you could try is an app from the market. I know its probably not an ideal solution, but maybe something like touchdown will alleviate the issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
yeah i am currently using the corporate method, and it still sucks battery.....but you know what I have notice, which may be a clue, the internet at my job is really really slow, our outlook emails take forever sometimes to send, receive, etc....so I am going to assume this is probably affecting my email on my phone as well....so I just set my exchange email to "never" check instead of "push" and i have told my job that their slow internet is killing my phones battery lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hideous:
Been using this phone and the stock email client for exchange since launch and have used multiple roms & kernels. Never had any battery drain issues and things were only getting better...until Monday of this week. That's when all hell broke loose. Full battery drained in record time. Overheating, barely responsive and overall just not being a good phone. Tried going back to stock and some other rom / kernel combos. Even tried a sim from a different carrier, the problem persists.

A couple days prior to phoneageddon I was prompted to setup the email app as a device administrator (See ScreenShot) a hand full of times. I usually only see this whenever I setup the account, after a wipe and whatnot. Since phoneageddon I have noticed that whenever the exchange services starts to act up, I know that sometime soon I will be prompted again. Whether or not this is related or not is unknown.

I just so happen to be an Exchange Admin at my company and know that no policy changes have been made in past couple weeks and that Windows patches were installed on the 1st.

We have ~2000 mobile devices of different flavors connecting to our mail system and so far no one else has reported a problem. Until this is resolved I have gone back to using TouchDown, no problems what so ever.

I will try to reproduce the problem fresh tomorrow or this weekend sometime and grab the logs from the server to post on here. I went through them once before and nothing stood out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
wow sounds similar to me, its just unacceptable, and the IT guy here just informed me that he hasnt changed anything on his end, so it cant be the servers fault for the massive draining of battery on my phone, he told me all the other users with iphones, are set up the same, PUSH, and automatic email downloads, and none of them are reporting any massive battery draining.

Currently my phone is set to PUSH and 1 week of emails to download, and its already at 19% battery usage for exchange services and 18% email.....this blows...

I wonder why this is happening
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hideous:
Ran the stock email client with logging enabled over the weekend and was unable to reproduce the issue. So the fix is... Enable logging! :)

BTW, if your Exchange admin allows it, you should be able to access the Exchange Control Panel and start logging for your device yourself. Check with your Admins first!

**While you shouldn't be able to anything to destructive in the ECP, you take full responsibility for what may happen.**

How to access the Exchange Control Panel - See ScreenShot:

Log into your company's webmail (OWA)

Click Options (Top Right of screen)

Click 'See All Options'

-OR -

Directly by replacing /OWA with /ECP at the end of the URL. From this: https://email.YOURCOMPANY.com/OWA to this https://email.YOURCOMPANY.com/ECP

Once there, click Phone, find your current device in the list and click start logging.

-----

DO NOT FORGET TO STOP THE LOG!

-----

To stop logging follow the same instructions, but this time the 'Start Logging' button will say 'Retrieve Logs'. It will then email you the log file.

I was getting a 3-5mb log for 24 hours with everything working normally.

It's probably not a good idea to blindly post the log on the internet as it could have personal / company information within. Either sanitize it or if you would trust a random nerd on XDA, PM me and I can help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
Hey sorry I am a little confused about the part that says "DO NOT FORGET TO STOP THE LOG!"

So am I suppose to stop the logging at a certain point? And what is the logging suppose to do?

I went into the control panel in the web outlook, and now I am logging.....And sadly the exchange service and email are slowly creeping up to 10% battery usage, and its getting higher and higher as we speak....

I set it to default settings as i did before (Check frequency to Automatic Push) and days to sync always default to "one Month"

and its at 12% now.....this is so frustrating...and the IT guy was not helpful, he said its nothing on his end, which i can understand because this was never an issue on my phone before. now its just massive battery usage....I give up I am going to just create a bookmark shortcut and access the web outlook 365 and have to manually check every once and a while
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hideous:
AFAIK the logging will continue until you tell it to stop. Which means the file size will continue to grow.

You should stop logging after you have been having issues for a while and take a look.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonterrosa82:
Well I stopped it, I never got any report, or any attachments of any report...

I probably didnt do it correctly, however I am still getting high battery usage, Right now it shows Exchange service at 23% and the email usage at 21%.... phones temperature is at 92 degrees, very hot!

I just removed the account, and disabled the email service, cleared data, force stop, and it still shows that its draining the battery lol

wow I give up, My job will have to provide me with an iphone.....so i will have 2 phones YAY! :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StressSyndrom:
Hello, lovly xda-Members and Supporters,

I'll start so my mother and I use the same smartphone - Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 ...

When she came back home from work and she told me that there is an update for this, I was blown away,

I was looking through the manual setting on the phone for an update, but it said: No update available ...

So, all well and good, then I tried to update via Samsung Kies, Samsung Kies now says to me: Software update via Samsung Kies is not supported by your device ...

I Did something really silly the other day as i flashed a rom to my Galaxy S2 i9100 and i stupidly forgot to back up my stock firmware.

Is there a possibility to get my old firmware again?

I live in Germany.

& I'd love to have this update on my phone.

Each answer is helpful and I thank you once in advance!

Stress Syndrom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4819888:
You most definitely can return to stock, but if you didn't back up whatever data you had before flashing the new ROM, then they're gone (assuming you wiped before flashing). You'll find all the firmwares you want here:

http://www.sammobile.com/

I'm assuming that you had ICS before flashing the custom ROM, because you said you didn't receive an update, so you can most definitely do that:D OR, you can manually flash the update you didn't receive yet, which is 4.1.2 JB ;) Anyway, all firmwares are there

Viel Glück:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StressSyndrom:
it was for 4.1.2 JB ? my phone is actually 4.0.4, it was allways 4.0.4, so it isn't for my phone anyway ? where can i find stock everything for my phone ? on Sammobile it shows me Taiwan 4.1.2 ...

PS ; Your German ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4819888:
In case you still need ICS, Then I'd suggest you google for that. Just search for samsung galaxy S2 4.0.4 firmware. you should find it. It's also helpful if you add your service providor (O2, T-Mobile or any other) just to make sure the phone will work with that network. It's just safer that way

I don't know if we're allowed to post links to outside sources here, but it's enough to say that many German android forums have what you want ;) you just need to search really well:D

Not German, but I live in Germany :silly:

Had anyone found any available or bought one before? Preferably for the Gn2 but other Sammy devices if you've owned them I'd love to hear your feedback.

Here are a few pictures of what I'm talking about. They usually run between $7-$9.

Well I've been trying to install miui 3.2.22 for sometime now and after many issues with it not booting I finally got it to boot but now it gets to the optimizing apps screen and once it finishes it says starting apps and just stays there. I've let it sit for over a half hour with no luck. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
What firmware? S-on or S-off?

Bottom line, reflash the boot.img fromt the rom. If you're on 1.14 hboot you'll need to fastboot flash it. That issue seems to come from an issue with the Kernel not flashing properly for one reason or another. You could also try updating or downgrading your TWRP if you're using TWRP as I understand 2.4 had some issues with wiping which could be causing this aswell.

Hope this helps, if you need mroe clarification, post more details about your phone and I or someone else will surely be glad to help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] avery.0:
Thanks for the suggestions. Flashing the boot.img from the original ROM causes booting issues for me. I've had to flash rohans kernel for it to even boot past the splash screen. I'm on hboot 1.14 with s off and using the latest version of twrp
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Then either you are not wiping properly or twrp isn't. I don't know about MIUI, what version of Android it is etc, but with Some 4.1 asop/aokp roms, I would be stuck at that screen unless I used B5 as the more up to date kernels did not work for me. (vc or no vc) stuck at the same screen as u. This was really only the case for PA 2.54 that I encountered.

In any case, try flashing an earlier 2.3 version of twrp, wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset, then reflash the stock boot.img using fastboot. Since you are S-OFF I would recommend coming off 1.14 hboot to 1.09. Just makes life a little easier. I am not certain on having S-OFF and 1.14 if you can just flash normally after or not. I was experimenting with S-OFF on my own device and while S-OFF is useful, I am not sure that it completely fixes not needing to flash boot.img using fastboot or if it just makes it easier to downgrade to 1.09 whereby you would certainly not need to use fastboot.

Hopefully someone with first hand experience and not just theoretical knowledge can give some extra advice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] avery.0:
hmm well I went back to twrp 2.3.3.0 wiped everything flashed the rom, gapps, and rohans kernel on first boot wouldnt boot past boot animation just sat there. rebooted and now im stuck on starting apps screen again. I'll try flashing the boot.img and see if that gets it to work and if it doesnt maybe an earlier version of rohans kernel. Ive never had this problem before

I really like how my settings are. Sync settings are minimal...but its been off the charger for 3.5 hours with moderate use and its at 76%....im looking for how to undervolt (not underclock) or any battery saving tweaks.

Also...im on synergy rom and cant change the setting so there is no LTE..why? And quck question...is there a key strock to get to recovery...new here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Turn off the Location access, and dim the screen as much as you like... I just got 36hrs with 3hr screen time with only those changes... To undervolt, you need to be running a custom kernel, and use a tool like SetCPU, Voltage Control, or KTweaker if the kernel is KT... To get into recovery, use the advanced power menu, or while it's off, Vol Up + Home + Power... Check your APN settings for LTE...

I've found that undervolting is a pain, and doesn't save me anymore battery than stock voltages... Mess around with it and decide...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:

Pkay, do you know if motion settings will effect battery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
I'm sure it has some sort of battery use, it's always looking for motion... Whether turning it off or not will help a noticeable amount, I'm really not sure, it's a TouchWiz feature, I haven't ran a TouchWiz ROM the entire life of my phone...

Any TouchWiz junkies out there who have noticed a difference turning it off?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s384:
find and eliminate wake locks. disable bloat apps. run a good light rom with battery saving kernal. turn off what you dont need. thats all really. if your battery is dying fast find whats keeping your phonw awake and do something about it. I can go to bed with phone at 100 and wake up 8 hours later at 99. also go to bed 50 and wake up 49 etc. you should expect the same. on 3g I get at least 5 hours of screen if im heavily using all day. but battery life is up to you. you want to be minimalist like me you can expect similar results.

You can dial *#0011# then hit Menu > Wi-Fi Settings and make sure the WiFi sleep policy is enabled. Every time your phone sleeps, WiFi is disabled and you have to reconnect, but it does help on battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s384:
I dont think it does. uses battery to turn on and off the wifi. just leave it on. ny rom is wicked v8 and intergalactic 2.5 kernal. weird combo I guess. but it just works for now

I squeezed 7 hours display (18+ hours standby) on a single charge with auto brightness on and LTE and sync on all the time. Routinely I get 5+. I would say, get a good rom n kernel combination (only way to know is to try out).

[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
Hey folks,

i really need your help. I wanted to set my HOX back to stock, so i flashed my old backup. But i forgot that i've upgraded my hboot to 1.36 an that the backup is 1.29. Well, and now i cannot update my firmware or use RUUs... what now ? A downgrade of hboot is not possible without s-off so i dont know what to do..

thanks in advance
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Is there a RUU available?

fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
i already tried to use a RUU but if i do so i get an error message.. i think it was 140 or so
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
If you restored your stock backup you only need to flash back the stock 1.29 recovery and start updating ! That you already have the 1.39 hboot is no problem !
[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
Okay, could you give me the instructions how to flash the recovery ? And where to download it?
[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
And another strange thing is that if i use the getvar command cmd tells me that i have got 3.14, but in settings my hox tells me i have 1.29
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah because you upgraded the hboot. The real phones software version is embedded in there.

With the stock nandroid you "fool" the bootloader. The software will be updated while the hboot stays at 1.39

Stock recovery 1.29

http://db.tt/W5IJ8asG

Put the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to recovery.img

Put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc then type :

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot reboot

Then update the phone with official ota inside the phone settings menu !
[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
Ahh, thank you, problem solved !
[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
i think my hox is kidding me ... i just did the ota 2.17 and now im right in a bootloop..but i do not know how to get rid of it.

because it boots, i can see the homescreen for a short time, but then it reboots directly, and i cant turn it off. if i turn it off, it just starts again..
[HTC One X] wiiplayer94:
please help me fast, it drives me crazy that it restarts all the time! :D
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hold the power button and the volume - button together as long as it takes to see the bootloader

Then perform a fastboot command

Fastboot getvar version-main

Post the outcome

And after the outcome of the command try a factory reset
