Disabling DirectPush/Changing Exchange Server? - General Topics

Hello. I signed up for Mail2Web's Exchange service, but then I learned about Consilient Push, before I got heavily invested in Mail2Web (no one even knows the address yet), and I was hoping to change. Problem is that WinMo 6 will let me change the server address for my Exchange server, but not the log-in, or the domain.
This is going to be moot, since eventually I'm probably canceling my unlimited data plan (costs a little too much for me, and I'm going to school where I'll be under a nice blanket of WiFi). Anyway, I'm using a T-Mo Dash, and to save power, it shuts down WiFi... plus between buildings, and in dorms there's no WiFi (routers, even in campus apartments and townhouses are forbidden), and I don't want my device hammering away at the network unnessessarily. I'll probably go with something like 20 MB (accidents do happen...), but I want to avoid all possible automated data usage.
I tried searching for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms, or perhaps no one has tried this before. Maybe both!

Any problem using Mail2Web lately?

Hi,
Just to check anyone facing problem using Mail2Web lately especially this week?
On my side I'm having problem synching my set to Mail2Web
Thanks
RE
Sorry, I mean using 3G/GPRS?
Thanks
Mail2Web
possibly check yr settings in Active Sync, sometimes the schedule gets mixed up by synciing with yr PC,....btw, is the 'heartbeat' interval with Mail2Web still at 30 seconds, in other words is your phone sending and receiving data every 30 secs ? Mine was getting data 'heartbeats' continuously which was killing my battery and my data usage was 6kb/minute, just for the heartbeat, regardless of my registry settings. I've switched to another exchange server, and it uses 4kb per HOUR, and battery life not affected at all !!!!
YES YES YES
I am glad it is not only me. Mine started working again 5 minutes ago, but I don't know if it is something I did, or a host file I made with the ip address in it. I was always able to sync over wifi though. Maybe cingular DNS lost them.

Yes, since yesterday no sync via GPRS is possible (o2 Germany).
With wifi via my home cable connection syncing is possible.
When using https://mobile.exchange.mail2web.com in Pocket IE via GPRS I get a certificate warning and after that a login page with a cisco logo, http-connections work fine.
Unfortunately I need a secure connection for active sync :-(
Certificates
That makes sense, that is what the error code points to. Anyone else up and running? What ever it was, I am glad it is fixed.
there is a problem.....I confirm...tried syncing with 4 differrent operators..every time got the error message " Sync cannot be com,pleted.Try again Later" :shock:
I can't sync via gprs either.
I'm on T-Mobile's network in the USA. I can surf the web via GPRS, but syncing via activesync and mail2web is not working via GPRS. Certificate error, which means its an issue on their end...
It IS working via any WiFi connection though...
...wow...
I submitted a trouble ticket at http://services.mail2web.com/About/Contact/
I used "mail2web exchange email" in the subject drop down box.
They replied w/n 10 minutes...!!! Thats better than my Verizon, T-Mobile and Direct TV customer service...and I PAY for those...!
The message:
"Greetings,
Please try doing a hard reboot of your device, by powering your device
off and then on again.
If you are using SSL with your account, please try then turning off your
SSL in your device and sync with the severs, then turn SSL back on and
try to sync again.
If this does not help, please verify that the time and date settings on
your device are correct, as this can also cause an issue when using SSL.
If you continue to experience difficulties syncing your device with your
account, please let me know and I will look in to the issue further.
If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
our 24/7 support team at [email protected].
Thank you for choosing mail2web.com!
Regards,
Marya
Customer Support"
...and wow...it worked...!
Try turning OFF the SSL option in your Active Sync Exchange options. Then hit the sync button.
I feel bad, like I should be paying for this...lol...its a rare thing that a CRS over email can INSTANTLY solve a tech issue for me...!
Gotta give em credit for this one...
I am still having an SSL email issue and they are looking into it...but I dont have an issue w/ sending non-ssl email for a few days...
Give it a try...
Specific Steps:
Go to your Active Sync Screen, then:
-- Menu
-- Configure Server
-- UN-CHECK the "this server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection" box
-- dismiss the password warning if you get one
-- Next, then re-enter your password (removing the SSL kills your password)
-- Keep hitting "next" then "finish"
-- Hit the "sync" button
This worked for me. I got my full gprs syncing back...
Again, hats off to them...
Doesn't work for me. Do you use GPRS?
Sync without SSL doesnt work either
Hi, urksaddy
Are you using SSL to synconize? Because, if I swith to Sync without SSL, the active sync shows that the sync couldn't reach the Server and an error code of 80072f78 is given. What server and Domain did you use for the sync without SSL?
thanks in advance.
No SSL
Mine is working without SSL only, switching it back on does not let it sync.
Doesn't work for me either, because my O2-Wap-Flatrate in Germany needs SSL-Connection!
The MS-Support-Code is 0x80072F17

Direct Push mail
I eventually unwillingly switched from Mail2Web because of the heartbeat interval ( possibly to do with the firewall settings at their server ) the device/server connection was pulsing every 30 secs, using data in ídle'mode and draining my battery. Ï mailed them often and they couldn't/wouldn't resolve it ( but I agree, they always reply fast, !! ) 4Smartphone is an alternative, althought there is a U$ 3.99 per month fee, I calculated it to be cheaper than the "ïdle"data cost per month with Mail2Web. (2kb every 30 secs adds up if you're connected 24/7 !! ) and i'm not on an unlimited plan ! Battery life is also a big issue for me when i'm "on the road". Interesting off topic, for anyone using a non-windows device, push mail is coming to 'normal' mobile phones. Search net for Tricastmedia and/or "Alwayssend" due July 06
thanks for the info, I keep hoping Mail2web will resolve the heartbeat issue, however they seem happy the way it is.
i have mail2web and got no problems connecting.
HOWEVER, my battery life has decreased dramatically once I started using the service. How do I know the pulse interval?
Also, i really dont know if this is an issue with activesync or with mail2web, but sometimes it takes FOREVER to get an email. Sometimes more than FIVE minutes. this way its even more effective to turn on automatic check every five minutes on outlook. Its really not push at all!
I used to have "chatter mail" on my treo 650, and any account that supports IMAP idle (a LOT of providers support it, many of them free) makes it true push. It would take, on everage, 2 to 6 seconds to receive an email. Now THATS push!

Problems with Windows Live

Anyone having problems with this.
The last few days, i can never connect to this, but can to the internet, tried all sorts and reinstalled the ROm, and another ROM, but nothing, just refuses to update once setup.
Me too, I'm on the standard £7.50 wnw and I can only assume that they have finally blocked the ports. I'm thinking about upgrading to the wnw+

having the same problem, could you report back if you upgrade and it sorts it out please
I spoke to tmob yesterday and they said that nothing has changed and it shouldn't be blocked. they suggested that its a microsoft issue, so I have opened a support case with ms.
personally I still think its tmob but I'll update you with my findings. out of interest which version do we have?
mine: 10.6.0032.2100
i have spoken with t-mo as well and they have said the same thing to me, using wifi and activesync windows live works fine, via gprs is a no go. I am currently using 10.6.0033.0600 have uninstalled and tried others as well, was using the previous i think 0200 for months without fault.
Im having exactly the same problem, and guess what? Im on the £7.50 web and walk plan.
Something really needs to be done, as my main email account is a hotmail one and I previously relied on the windows live push mail function, which used to work reliably for months on end...
When I try to force a manual sync using GPRS, it always gets hung up on the "syncronizing personal folders" stage, and my email fails to get updated.
BUMPing this thread for importance
Spot on this is v.serious, I'm about to suggest this service as a temp mail solution pending an exch install to a client.
I had a reponse from MS asking for more info so hopefully we should have an answer soon, I still think t-mob are blocking though but having said that the service came back last night for a couple of hours...
Are there any none t-mob UK users outthere that are seeing issues??
just using pocket msn now no problem with that, can sign into messenger without any fault using this loads up the mail service but not a push service, shows that is just something to do with windows live as i cant sign into messenger on that at all
support.live.com - log it as a windows live mobile issue
A question for you all, when did you last upgrade the client?? I wonder if my issues started after my last rom upgrade last week, I could downgrade but I don't really want to!
Guys, I can now CONFIRM that this is a T-Mobile issue.
I called them in my lunch break, spoke to a technical advisor. He confirmed T Mobile began blocking ports around a month ago. He could see instantly that as a webnwalk standard customer, my ports were blocked. He said to experiment, he would put the Webnwalk+ option tempoarily on my account and asked me to conduct a test. I did. I rebooted the phone once webnwalk+ was activated, and lo and behold, windows live mobile sync works perfectly.
I am waiting for him to call back in the next 10-15 mins to discuss just what T Mobile proposes to do about this. Im not paying extra for webnwalk+ just to push email. I feel this is unfair and (cosidering windows live is built into wm6) an incredible oversight on t mobiles part.
As we thought then... Can you let me know what options/which department you asked to go through to and I'll call them too.
I just asked to be put through to technical support regarding webnwalk.
The chap phoned me back, he said to test again with webnwalk put back to normal - I have, im getting sync failures again. He will call me again in the next 10 mins to propose what to do.
If I cant have push email on my £7.50 plan then I will leave the network. Its as simple as that. I hear O2 offer unlimited internet now...

I know what you mean but I think that O2 will have the same issues with WL as T-Mob do, its a pain that ms put the messaging client in the app as that is what they have an issue with.
Have T-Mob come back yet?? I'll give them a call tomorrow see what I can do.
Ive now been asked by T Mobile to make a log of sync status in half hour intervals. I have been doing this since 2pm. First two hours on normal webnwalk, the remaining 2 hours on webnwalk+. So far it has been as predicted, syncronization failures on webnwalk and at the moment, success with webnwalk+.
Still problems
I thought it was the ROM and upgraded up and down nothing.
What is the bloody point of W&W without Push !!!
Does any service provider in the UK offer this built in, as my contract is up at the end of the year.
Just thought id update you guys.
My contact at T Mobile phoned me again, confirming he had recieved a copy of my log by email. He will be speaking to his senior colleagues tomorrow to discuss where to go from here. In the interim, he has left me with webnwalk plus and all seems to be syncing okay.

Blackberry client

Hi Folks,
I was just wondering if there is come kind of blackberry emulation/client that runs on the pda.
Our IT won´t install the nessessary exchange tools that are required for Direct Push via Active Sync, but we do have blackberry in usage.
Is there another way of getting the mail via direct push?
Cheers

Seven software is the best BB alternative. It's beta, but works FANASTICALLY. Truly, I find it better than BB Connect for WM since it uses less battery AND can still use your normal data connection.
Get the software here: http://community.seven.com/forum/index.php?forum=true
Use the download link at the top of your screen. Depending on what email you are trying to have pushed, there are different configs. But if its just POP3, IMAP, or Yahoo, or Gmail, it works. It even has a solution if you have a corporate email that sits behind a firewall on your company's intranet.
I've been using it for 8 months, and its simply awesome.
Edit: BTW, if you really want true BB client, then search the Kaiser forum for Blackberry Connect. You'll find links to download it. It works, asusming you have a BB-compatible data plan. but like I said, its a memory and CPU hog, draining your battery about 10% per hour, even limited to Edge data, with intermittent (say 15 minute) polling periods.
Seven is real-time and even on 3G, doesn't suck the battery dry. And I'm not affiliated with Seven. My posts on their hep forum will prove that. But I recommend Seven to EVERYONE who wants push mail.
thanks
Thanks for the Info,
I found BB Connect in the meantime an also manage to get it installen on WM 6.1.
I´ll give the sother SW a try on the weekend.
Cheers

Have you managed to get BB Connect working? I've tried so many different versions and have not been able to get it to work. Everytime it establishes a connection and data tunnel it disconnects immediately. I haven't heard of anyone who's got this to work. I'm talking about Blackberry Enterprise. Check out this thread:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
The Seven software mentioned above, that's not for BB Enterprise server, that's just for push mail correct?

Seven is a "competing product" to BB's suite. If you are trying to connect to a BB server, then yes, you'd need BBC. But if you are just trying to get your email delivered, whether it be personal, POP3, IMAP, or you corporate email (Exchange) and you are behind a firewall, then Seven has a solution for you. Some more elegant than others. But it works. For me, it's the only option since we do use Exchange, behind a firewall, with no OWA externally accessible and BBC's software is very juice hungry.
As for getting BBC to work. Without knowing your exact setup, its hard to know what the issue is. First, make sure you are on the right data plan. I.e. for AT&T you MUST be on one of their BB data plans. Otherwise, you won't be able to get to the blackberry.net APN needed. Then, make sure you have the BBC for WM software installed on your phone and PC. (There are 2 programs, one for each) Then, connect your phone to the PC as in ActiveSync. Run the PC's program. You should notice that ActiveSync connection is severed, and the BB program should find the phone. Then go to assign a PIN and it should. Then it shoudl start to pull email to your phone.
The second software you need to run on the PC is here:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=225
Click on the link for: ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_4.0.0.17.zip
Because BBC uses a different APN than all other network access on your phone, and your phone can only connect to one APN at a time, you will not be able to do other things like surf via IE on your phone while you are connected to BBC (another reason it sucks).
There is a new version of BB client http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482411 , can somebody try it and let us know if it is working ?

[Q]Modem-router config page

I'm helping out with a number of upgrades and issues at a medical clinic where my wife works. It's a small business so there's not much in the way of an 'IT dept.' It's just been one issue after another and still being in school for this stuff it's been an experience to say the least. Half the programs I've never dealt with, the server was full of junk , out of date on everything (running server 2008 on top of it), only had 2 HDD's setup on raid0, was only running on 1 network cable even though there was an entire other and newer NIC installed with 2 more ports, and had a number of viruses that forced us to wipe it and re-install everything.
Now that that's working and I've got all the other computers connected and all that jazz we have another issue.
The modem-router has an issue. We can't get to the config page. It's a DSL modem-wifi router (upgrade??) from AT&T. After hard wiring a computer directly to it and going to it's login address (192.168.1.1) it asks for the username and password. Type that in and nothing - the page is blank. It's the correct IP, the username and password is correct, so what gives? Power cycling accomplished nothing and I'd prefer not to reset it since over a dozen workstations connect to it. Not to mention being wireless and in a medical facility I'm sure HIPPA wouldn't be to thrilled about an unsecured connection.
Is this a perfect time for AT&T to come out and give them a new one or is there something I'm missing? They're obviously not very bright since last nights resolution from them was to reset the connection on their end. "that should help with the speeds and make it faster" - umm, right. Since that sounds like the issue we called about...
--
The best you can hope for from AT&T is ti replace the gateway. If you're absolutely sure the admin name & password are correct, I say reset it. If they exchange the router, you're gonna have to re-enter all that stuff anyway.

seeking login info for comcast xb2 all-in-one, have physical access

long story short- we live in a big house, one of the guys is way behind on rent, the cable/internet is in his name. as one last "f*** you" to the rest of us while he's being evicted, he changed the wifi login to something the rest of us don't know (we've been splitting the cable bill among the 4 of us this whole time)
so the modem is a comcast/xfinity branded XB2 "all-in-one" modem/router made by Arris.
the default network name and password are printed on the outside of the modem.
also printed on the outside is the serial number (alphanumeric 15-character), a CM MAC, an E-MTA MAC, and a WAN MAC.
now of course I could just hold down the reset button for 30 seconds, use the default login, change it to something new, and take over the modem, but that only lasts as long as it takes him to call comcast and get them to override the modem/internet service.
I've got an old android that I've rooted just for this purpose. (I don't have access to a laptop or pc with a wifi adapter right now) I've tried using androdumper to brute force the wifi to no avail.
i think the best way to go about this is... hard reset the modem... log into the modem using default info... and then what? that's where i'm stumped. i'm pretty new at this (if you couldn't tell)
is there any info I can pull off of the comcast/arris modem screen (10.0.0.1 I believe is the address) that I can later use to pull the wifi password?
any android apps I can use to pull the wifi password?
Security is WPA
Before this guy changed the password, I looked at the security settings using 10.0.0.1 and they were set to "very lax" or whatever comcast calls it.
If you have any questions for me I'll try to answer them the best I can
Thank you in advance for all the help
Just hard reset it and change the password to something your crew agrees with..
I can't think of a worse punishment than to have anyone deal with customer service repeatedly.
Even more so if you can keep his hands off of it..

i hear ya, especially comcast customer service, but it's not really a solution. i've given this a lot of thought, i'd rather not go through all the hassle, but i've already gone to the trouble of rooting my phone and scouring the internet for android apps and wordlists and brute force solutions, all to no avail
if we "misplace" the modem that gives the guy an excuse to get the cops involved and trust me he'd love an excuse to call the cops and stir up even more s***
could anyone please recommend an app to crack the wifi?
or maybe a link to some instructions/things to try?
FYI the phone I have rooted is a samsung galaxy centura
Just hard reset the damn modem. it takes less than 5 minutes. Once you reset it, change the default password. Reset the wifi as the same SSID, and put in a new password.
What's going to happen is this: He'll reset the modem again, and do the exact same thing, again. your problem is this: the Comcast service agreement is in HIS name. He doesn't even have to get the cops involved. All he has to do is call Comcast and THEY will come after you for theft of service, and they do not back down easily. Give up while you're ahead.
Your best option is this - Call Comcast. tell them you evicted this person, and that he left an active cable internet account at your address. You would like to get new service installed to replace this account. They will work with you on this. I've had to do this a couple times before.
