G+_Phil Chung Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Google Inbox - so I've uninstalled it from my phone. I'm pretty sure it was causing excessive battery drain, maybe due to both Gmail and Inbox performing syncs. I've found I can replicate the experience in Gmail somewhat anyhow by enabling swipe to archive conversations. Emails received to one of the built-in labels (Social, Promotions etc) appear in the inbox are bundled together - not sure about custom labels yet though. Gmail doesn't half feel clunky now though after getting used to Inbox. Roll on Gmail 5.0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Elizabeth Whitmire Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm using Inbox all the time, but my Nexus 7 is only showing battery usage at 8% for Inbox. That doesn't seem very excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't seem to have any problems on my Nexus 7, but my HTC One M8 seems to be draining fast. It's not Inbox that shows up though - it's Android Services or something like that. I'll investigate further, but am travelling next few days and need phone to stay running as long as possible.
