I noticed a little extra battery drain since I set-up the google sync (Exchange ActiveSync). I am only syncing my contacts. Can I turn off the syncing of my contacts and turn it back on whenever I want to sync to conserve battery life?
Settings-Mail, Contacts, Calendars-Fetch New Data-Advanced-Contacts-Select Schedule-Manual.
Fetch new data is set for push on for my yahoo email. I can easily get through the day on a full charge with push on for my yahoo email. I was just concerned that keeping the calendar push on would hit my battery up pretty good and I might not get through the day on a full charge.
I could not figure out your way to do it. I hope my way does the trick. I assume that you can have certain things set at push (mail) and certain set at manual (contacts)? The reason why I ask this is that Fetch New Data-Push is on and the calendar is set to manual under advanced. Make sense? Maybe I am a little confused 🙂
Sign in to your google account settings, chose your sync options.
Remember, this is beta software, so there are bound to be some bugs, like battery drain.
