Anyone having battery issues with mail for exchange? After a full charge my battery is fine tilll it drops to about 75% and then within half an hour it drops to empty. Within 6 hours of a full charge I have a dead battery. I have uninstalled mail for exchange and using roadsync instead and the battery problem has gone. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem before I get onto Nokia about it..
Mail for Exchange on N95 8GB battery problem
Switch from push functionality to antother "check for mail frequence". In MFE its called syncplan (hope it's the same in the english version)
I myselves use an "every 1. hour sync"...
I can use roadsync on push and still have half a battery left at the end of the day, the only problem is with roadsync you don't get a visual notification of a new email. That's why I would prefer to use mail for exchange
If you are on AT&T, make sure you create a new Access Point (copy the old one) and remove the proxy... this will fix battery life (or at least make a HUGE difference).

any changing/searching for the 3g connections is usually a killer. My emoze yesterday killed my battery by lunchtime as I was in the basement of a building going between comm rooms when it got a single / lost a signal etc etc etc
I have my MFE set to always on during the day over my 3G connection, I make about 5 mins worth of calls, a few texts, an hour or so music, half an hour N-Gaging and a bit of wifi and it's empty by about 9pm.
Got the problem sorted at last, seems I was a bit quick to blame MFE.. Uninstalled psiloc connect and the problem is gone.. Maybe the 2 programs don't work well together?
No its definitely the Psiloc connect. This app constantly polls for new Wifi networks and that is probably the biggest battery sucker out there.
MfE works fine for most people - just set it to hourly/4-hourly syncs and you'll be fine (I have this running on 100+ devices at work)
