Hi, before I get into my problem let me tell you what I have done so far. I used the great tutorial on here for flashing to WM6. I installed the 2 cabs ran them use shell tool and flashed to Crossbow 1.7 Final. Performed a hard reset. Everything is great! Now I have SunCom and never put on a radio rom etc or anything like this. I setup my GPRS works great. Email works great everything again works great. If I try to goto my comm manager and enable direct push though I get no options it's greyed out. Also I screwed up last night and disabled my Data in comm manager. Couldn't figure out how to turn it back on ended up doing a hard reset . Anyway all these posts are so helpful but I could not find one related to my problem. I am thinking it is because I didn't put a radio rom on I'm not sure that's why i'm turning to you guys. Also the phone is a G4 is this help?
Thanks in advance.
you'll need to configure a server in activesync first. and for that you need to have an ccount with a provider that runs exchange server 2003 sp2. if you choose "as items arrive" as your sync frequency, you have direct push mail.
Ahh thank you. I thought (And could definatly be wrong!) That on WM5 I could select it with just a pop3 account. Am I mistaking? Thanks for the quick reply as well.
nope, you need to have some sort of push email service subscription.. either through work (exchange server, etc.) or something like blackberry connect, 7, etc.
Thanks for the information. I guess I need to do some research into the blackberry app if it works for our phone. Was sure I saw the program on the FTP here. I'm sure I will need to subscribe for there services though. Unfortunatly the company I work for isn't that big and I don't have to resources to build a server just for exchange. Not to mention how big of a pain it would be to set everyone up as well, and downtime I shutter thinking about it .
mail2web offer a push service. it works well too. i used it for a while till i got my office server configured for the job.
But there still is an issue with direct push, at least for me. Before I flashed to WM6 my email would arrive on my 8125 before or at the same time as they would come to my inbox on my PC. After installing Crossbow WM6 the email comes as much as 10 minutes after it hits my inbox on the PC.
seems like you are just synching your phone every 15 mins or so. Do you have exchange server with direct push?

As I have stated before going to WM6 direct push would receive the emails few seconds before my PC did, and yes I have it enabled right now and I have selected to receive items as they arrive.

Alright, I'm really new to this whole Exchange thing (just signed up about twenty minutes ago). So far I got everything working fine on my computer and I managed to enter in all the correct settings on my phone. However, it ONLY syncs with the exchange server when I go into ActiveSync and tell it to, OR when I update a task or appointment on my device. I'm running a Treo 700w, but I imagine Direct Push would work the same for all WM5 devices that have it. How do I make it so that email is automatically pushed to my device, just like it's pushed to Outlook 2003 on my PC? I'd really appreciate anybody's help.. Thank you so much!
I am new to the forums and used the DUTTY BETA 2 ATT TILT ROM. Followed all steps and everything works EXCEPT trying to use DIRECT PUSH thorugh the Microsoft Exchange server my work provides. I did a search and can't seem to find an answer. Cannot get anyone on the BETA 2 thread to respond for whatever reason (newb, didn't do my homework, too bad, price I pay for trying something new, etc.)
I have tried searching and have posted on one other thread that looks to be a similar problem.
Have tried enabling SSL and disabling. My tech director changed server side setting and removed certificate requirement from me to the server.
He seems to think there is a problem with the active sync included on the ROM.
1) Is there a way to simply fix the "ACTIVE SYNC" by installing, updating, etc.?
2) Can I simply revert back to a stock ATT rom without doing all of the other steps for the WARRANTY RETURN?? I am not planning on returning this, just want to put all software/rom back to STOCK as if out of box so I can try setting up direct push again.
3) Is there another ROM to flash to that does the touchflo stuff without a lot of hassle?
ANY HELP PLEASE???????? I am sort of lost as to where to go next. Don't want to use the desktop push software if I don't have to as it I dont' want to leave my destop PC on all the time.
THANK YOU THANK YOU for any help that you can provide!

I am using direct push with Exchange and Dutty's rom. And have no problems. Although it's the latest Rom.
What kind of problems are you getting?
I am getting the 0x80830003 error. I am unable to sync via direct push. I am using the Dutty AT&T TILT BETA 2 rom.
The Exchange server can see the device. I can sync if connected via the internet through my PC.
Which rom are you using that worked with Direct push? How many more things did you have to install with this rom in order to make verything work or did you just have to flash the rom?
I love everything else that the rom flash did except that I can't direct push email, calendar items, etc.
Direct Push with Dutty
I've used several of Dutty's ROMs, currently the one here and have never had any direct push issues. Working 100%
Thnx. Trying some other things first. If not, will try a different rom

Exchange push works on the Hermes, and Kaiser, with original Dopod ROMs, and with Schaps. (My IS dept. also could not get it working either. I don't depend on them.) You do not need anything extra for WM 5 or 6, any ROM, and there is no problem with ActiveSync.
Here's a basic checklist.
- Activesync/configure server. Input the "server address" (this is the external internet address for your Exchange server. Not an Intranet address, and not your exchange email id.)
- SSL is checked on mine
- next screen - User Name: (your Exchange id), Password: , Domain: (whatever your domain is for your regular Exchange setup). Check the Save password box.
- next screen, check the E-mail box, and the Calendar, Contacts, etc. This sets what will be sync'ed over your wireless data connection in Microsoft Exchange. If E-mail is checked under your Windows PC setting, then you have to uncheck it before you can select it under Microsoft Exchange.
Whatever you select under Windows PC will sync via your USB connection to your PC. Wireless push will be under Microsoft Exchange, which will only show up when you do the above.
Once you have both setup, you will see two sections when you open Activeysync on the PDA. Microsoft Exchange (for the wireless push), and Windows PC (for activesync through USB cable when connected to your PC)
From your description, you have setup E-mail to sync under Windows PC, and have never setup the push email part of it at all.
Once it is working, you can edit the options and schedule in Activesync to determine how much to download (I set it to 5K text), and how often. Recommend that you do not set the schedule to deliver immediately, but to check every 10 or 15 mins, or longer. Setting it to immediate causes the data connection to be on continuously, and uses the battery up fast. Set it to check periodically, and battery usage can go 2 days, instead of less than 1 day.

Enable Logging in the advanced setting of the account on your phone. Problem could be heartbeat issues or any number of issues. Ask the admin if the Mail Server has more than one address? Had a similar problem at work recently and our new IT admin figured out the Domain IP routing needed to include both of the servers IPs.
If the direct push works with wm 6.1 hermes,
I would check 2 things.
1. I am assuming you are using https. Check that server certificate is installed on kaiser, correct, and hasn't expired.
2. Make sure that you have https connectivity in general and specifically to the exchange server.
Often there could be issues associated with connection settings where media net was not chosen for internet connection. In any case, I would use setup connection found in settings.

You get this error because the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is checked for the MEdia Net access point. Go to Settings -> Connections and then select Set up proxy server and uncheck "This network uses a proxy..." box and you should be good to go.
Hey guys:
I'm about ready to pull my hair out.
I migrated from my Hermes to my Tilt now running Sleuth 3.0 WM6.1 everything is fine except my email only syncs when it is teathered to Active Sync. The setting match my Hermes and actually you can Send/Receive mail. It goes through the steps of logging in, downloading headers/folders etc but no mail comes and no errors.
When it is connected to active sync everything downloads.
I have checked both my internet settings for AT&T with & without proxy. IE accesses the internet both via Media Net and Wifi fine. And like I say you can see it going through steps connecting etc but no mail comes even when you can see it on the server.
I'm ready to pull my hair out and stop carrying two phones. I don't have enough hair to pull it out over this nit!
Thanks for the help!
Wallace
Well, if you're speaking Exchange...is the server using a self-signed SSL certificate? And if so, have you installed it on your Tilt since flashing? I ask because I had that issue...finally just tossed the cert on my SD card so I can drop it back in after the next (and frequent) flash.
i have this issue with gmail n yahoo
Same problem with Gmail. Using udK 6.1 Rom, phone data can't sync with Gmail, wifi will grab the e-mails no problem. Any ideas?
i think its the rom you guys using.
bump still cant get email to work on any WM6.1 rom
Firstly, what kind of email?
BBerry, Hotmail, Gmail...
Try: goto hklm>system>versions and change what ever is there to .0.4.2 (The leading . before the 0 needs to be there)
first post here. but I hope this helps as I've had the same issues with regards to gmail messages not appearing.
I've gone through several roms experiencing the same problem, i.e. no gmail - even though it checks and appearing to be downloading them.
I am trying to run both corporate exchange emails and also gmail.
My normal rom install sequence is:
1. do the normal rom upgrade and remove usb cable when the finish message appears.
2. let it reboot a few times as in installs the roms and detects your carrier
3. then I would connect the usb and sync it with my exchange/outlook (which works)
5. and set up my corporate exchange email settings (which works)
4. then set up GMAIL - and normally it starts downloading but no messages appear.
I tried this with every rom, same problems.
Today, I installed the Sleuth rom and decided to do SET UP GMAIL FIRST, try and send/receive and THEN connect my Kaiser to the laptop for a full fat Active Sync with my Outlook and setup email to my Corporate Exchange mails.
Now I can get both emails working
Hope this helps someone as its been p!ssing me off for the last 4 weeks and I didn't want to get flamed by some of these posters by posting a I can't get Gmail working post!
I'm running Sleuth 3.0, with working GMail and Exchange server. Have you tried removing the hidden proxy with this cab.
Hi all, I'm fairly experienced with the WM world (been using since WM2002) and am usually able to fix plenty of people's problems (on here and in the real world). I have run into an issue that I haven't quite been able to figure out. If it were my phone, I'd probably reflash a different rom on it (or even same one) and try it again fresh, but since it is not my phone I haven't tried it yet. Anyways, here is the issue.
My coworker has configured his phone running his provider's stock WM6.1 standard rom. He (well me, he had no idea it was possible until I showed him) is trying to connect his phone to the company's exchange server to get email on the phone. I have configured this (or instructed how to do this) for over 25 people where I work, and the only issues that I have ever run into were certificate issues. I manually pulled down the root certificate, made a cab file containing it, and installed it on his phone. This is easily verified by accessing the company's OWA site from Pocket IE. Without the certificate installed, a certificate warning appears, and with it you access without a problem (which I can do). So certificate, checked.
Now after a soft reset, it comes time to configure it. I get the email address, password, and domain in without a problem. Then the OWA address is put into the server address. Then the specific mail and calendar items are configured (such as retain last 3 days of mail, download 50KB of each message, show last 2 weeks of calendar, etc.), and finish is hit. The device successfully syncs, with no errors appearing on the screen. I even see items come down in activesync (such as syncing 82 contacts, 5 calendar events, and some emails).
I opened pocket outlook, and his inbox is empty. Odd, so I send him a test email from my AT&T Tilt (cooked WM 6.1 rom), and it arrives to his device on the next send/receive. Then, I hit send receive again on his phone and the test email disappears. I have tried changing the "retain" option for email from last 3 days to last 2 weeks, and no difference. Also the Calendar is empty. I sent him a meeting request and he accepted it, but it isn't on his mobile phone's calendar (but it is on the exchange calendar).
The only thing that I could think of is a rule to move everything to his personal folder on his laptop, but he says that he doesn't have one and moves everything over by hand. I'm thinking about swinging by his desk and confirming, but he isn't dumb and I'm sure he isn't lying about it.
I have been searching google (here and full internet google) without much luck. Thanks for any ideas to try, or else I'm gonna go soft reset his phone
Jason
Well he did tell me when he closed outlook on his work PC, everything started working right. I might try to swing by and look at his outlook afterall.
Jason
btw, if your poutlook syncs only new mails, and your server is configured to not keep messages on the server, the message might be deleted every other send/receive.
I just tried it and now that useless Outlook Mail folder has purpose!

YAY!!! Slow using GPRS, but thats to be expected. Just glad it works.
interesting...am gonna try now
It doesn't seem to be working properly for me. When I tell it to show all my mail, it only shows 10 messages, not the 70 or so I have in my gmail. doesn't anyone else have this problem? By the way I'm using a Fuze.
it does not work for me. Suddenly calendar-sync doesn't work, too. Getting an 0x85010016-error. Any hints?
I got that error before as well but keep trying, I think they are still having some problems with it or maybe their server is a bit slow right now probably because of everyone trying it .. but it does eventually work..
working great for me now.
It did hickup earlier but all cam right on the last sync, now seem to be fine.
It's early days, but a great step in the right direction.
seems to be going up and down. I got it to work as far as syncing and getting my email but no push yet.
I have got the calender and contacts work, but when i tick the email it fails? any ideas or is anybody else having this problem?
Working fine here.
It was slow last night, but guess that is down to the initial load on googles servers

Was it not letting you sync at all? or was it connected but just slow.
Also was there a setting in gmail?
It's working for me - only problem I've got is the email tab in TF3D does not show the account and the new email button doesn't use it?
Any ideas?

I am using gmail with the m.google.com/sync already, what should I change to use the push function ?
go to programs -. activesync -> options -> exchange and check email.
Hmm, maybe I'm just shortsighted, but I'm not seeing how this is useful. Gmail already offers free POP3 support, so you can setup email on your phone to get emails from your Gmail account. Even if you don't like such a thing, Google also offers a J2ME Gmail app for use.
So is there something I'm missing or am I misunderstanding what 'push email' is?
The best you can do with POP/IMAP is check eevery 5 minutes - which may be "instant" enough BUT that will eat up data (even if there is nothing to download) and battery.
With push you'll pull a message when it's available but not be using data checking when there isn't.

Hmm, I see. So it's an issue of how fast you receive a email from your account and data usage. Alright, I understand now. Thank you for the response.
It still doesn't work if I enable email-sync. Without email all my events becomes pushed and synced. Don't know why there is that error...
I had errors too, but I tried to sync only calendar and contacts and then I added emails too. It works good now.
But everytime I setup new sync connection it makes problems, so I think it is necessary to try it several times...
mine still isnt working, it wont full sync when i have the emails checked
the funny thing is i tested it on my girlfriends N97 with my details and it worked a treat
i want it even more now
