WM 6.1 (samsung) problem

I manage a bunch of WM phone at work.
I got a strange one.. that I can't figure out
Now normally I try and convince people at work to get an HTC..
But I have a few Moto Q and now a few Samsung users.
One new user just got a Samsung Epix (SGH-i907), and I setup an IMAP email on it same as all the other users. No Problem. Phone works well.. Kinda like the mouse/touchpad thingy..
Anyway..
Then a few days later it won't send email. Still recieves, but trying to send no matter what address gives you.
"The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
No matter what I tried it would still error out.
Tried sending via SSL.. Shut down completely... Nothing..
If I delete and re-setup the account it would work again for a few days then the same thing all over again..
Anyone got any ideas....
I am at a loss...
ATT Sim, Untouched phone, nothing even installed on it beside the default apps and Google Maps.

although youve not installed much according to your sig youve got a custom rom. i recomend going to the rom thread and searching for similar issues if you cant find any then ask in that thread

My sig is my phone..
Nothing to do with the phone in question..

then unfortunatley im out, i dont know much about att roms
only thing i can think of is if the password for the email account is changed every few weeks or whatever by default then you may run inti problems
i did this once and i couldnt think of why my phone couldnt connect not realising that id changed the password online

I finally figured out the issue.
It's with only some of the earlier builds of WM 6.1
From Microsofts site:
The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted, which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.

Push Gmail is official!

I just tried it and now that useless Outlook Mail folder has purpose!
Here's the link:
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-sync-now-with-push-gmail-support.html

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

[Q] Arrives Gmail, Problem?

Okay, so i have the HTC Arrive now, and i really like the phone, great UI, Amazing keyboard, not as quick on the data as my LG Quantum but still fast, but the Gmail, i dont know what is going on with the gmail on here, i have my gamil signed into my Quantum with no problem, but when i try to sign in to the app and have my gmail on my arrive it tells me that the info is incorrect... i really am getting frustrated with that :/
any oppinions or ideas?
Ive taken the battery out and deleted the gmail acct off the phone, yet still no gmail...
How can i fix this?

Are you just setting it up as an exchange account on the phone or using some gmail app from the marketplace?
I'm using gmail simply via exchange and it works no problem.

I had this same problem when I first got my Arrive. Needless to say it frustrated the CRAP out of me. I tried everything and after several resets and whatnot I finally figured the solution, it's not the most desirable but it worked for me.
I had to change my gmail password on a computer or IE on the phone, then try. It then worked and I changed my password back and updated the account info on my phone.
Try this and let me know if it works for you!

It does that the first couple of times, each time giving you more options to change, but on the third time it will give you the option to set the Exchange server address(m.google.com). As soon as you put that in and retry it connects and starts syncing. I haven't figured out how to set the server address without first failing twice.

[Q] Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?

Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?

Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...

Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?

Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*

Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?

It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.

How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh

I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back

MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..

Windows Live error 8600050C

Hi,
Is anyone having problems syncing their Windows Live primary account on WP7?
Every time I try I get a Windows Live error message along with the error code: 8600050C
I can sync emails on my PC's Windows Live Mail application, but not on my phone
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

I'm expiriancing the same errot today on my Windows phone, when trying to check for new messages.

Mine now appears to be working..
I turned off WiFi and tried Data connection(which I tried earlier today but didn't work, might of been because my connection was weak), then it started syncing, so I turned it off, reset my router and tried again from WiFi and it now works.

This is just a pain in the royal @#@! Every once in a while this happens and it's starting to get on my last nerve. Why does this happen? Like just now I can't get on Facebook and no error code it just keeps saying that it needs my attention, WTF?

Oh this is just great; now I'm getting a Oops! we're having a problem that we can't solve at the moment. try again later, what the ???

Happened out of the blue last night when i was using facebook.
It popped up about incorrect password and Live ID need attention.
I went to setting > email account and checked the password. It wouldn't accept the correct password (I was able to log in just fine on PC with that account)
This morning facebook says it's not up to date and gives error 80072F7D
I see this problem everywhere. Seems like a lot of people is having it. Dunno what's happening to MS

Same problem started today also for me
I'm hoping this is a Facebook error and not a Windows Phone error!
I've read that hard resets don't solve this. This is leading me to believe Facebook made some changes and didn't consider Windows Phone connecting.

Actually I just heard over at Windows Phone Central that it's a big problem and just about everyone is going through the same BS. Everyone is venting Here.

any news yet??? my live id account still say attention required
I've entered the correct password. It says synchronizing and attention required again.
It's very unlikely that password is incorrect. I tried entering an incorrect password and it immediately said password incorrect without synchronize (not being back to the account list saying attention required)

Everything works fine for me, Facebook started working again 11 am

yeah, facebook worked for me too, but i still can't get Live ID to work. It's strange that I still can download app from Market Place and open Xbox just fine. But email + accounts says it needs attention!?

I had those same issues before; the only way i was able to make Windows Live and my email start working again was to delete them from my phone and reinstall them.
