For a while now, my phone has been running out of battery more quickly than it used to. I obviously went to Settings and checked the Battery page, to find that "Exchange Services" is using up a hell of a lot of battery. It uses around 30%, and even more if I leave my phone idle without using it (because if I use it constantly, the screen uses up a bit more battery usually). I'm using the standard Email client that comes with the phone (linking one Hotmail account), and I'm assuming it's that app which is causing the decrease in battery life. I've searched on this before and found plenty of other threads made by people with the same problem as me, but I didn't really understand any of the jargon in the answers because I am entirely new to Android and smartphones in general.
I'm not one to use my S4 too often, so I don't keep track of the battery life on it, which is why I try and save as much battery as possible so that it's readily available when I need it (using a black wallpaper, switching to Flight Mode at night, using battery-saving apps, keeping the screen brightness on low, etc). So as you can imagine, something like this is annoying for me. I'd love some user-friendly, foolproof help!
