With the past couple of roms I flashed, I cannot get the GMAIL Java App to work:
Heres my setup:
Esmertec Jbed Build 20070802.2.1
Newest Gmail Java from web.
I run it, enter user name and password, hit sign in and then it switches to the inbox view, theres no messages or anything and it says:
0kb Loading...
Then switches to 1kb Loading and I get the following Message:
Network Unavailable
"This program requires a data connection. Please contact your carrier, or visits the gmail for mobile FAQ on your computer for more info."
I have Opera Mini 4 (Java) installed and that works fine.
My ATT plan includes unlimited media.net. I have "fixed" the "My ISP GPRS" connection to use: wap.cingular, and the username to [email protected]
All other internet apps work fine.
Any clues or suggestions?
Thanks,
Rich
It's not your settings. Gmail does the same thing for my phone. When I directed to gmail.com/app using PIE, it displayed my phone as an LG U500? Something like that. Maybe that's the problem.
Using Google Maps, everything is fine.
Navigating there with opera mini, however, I never get to download anything. It just keeps redirecting me to the website seen on desktops, not mobile phones.
So anyway, yea...problem with the application, maybe?
Well the wierd thing is that the JAVA GMail App worked for me like 2 weeks ago.

Hey everyone...
Just wondering if anyone had come up with a Gmail Notifier type program (or an acceptable workaround) for the Today page. Specifically, I am looking for the following features:
1. Checks your Gmail account every X minutes and notifies you on the Today page if you have new unread mail.
2. Does NOT download the headers (see #3).
3. If you check/read your email on your home computer, the next time your WM/PPC device checks for new messages, it will clear the 'unread mail' alert as those messages are no longer unread.
4. Uses data connection, not SMS.
Item #3 is the biggie for me. I use multiple PCs/devices (work desktop, work laptop, home desktop, home laptop, 8525/Hermes) and therefore want to manage all my mail via my browser since it will always be consistent no matter which machine I'm using. I do NOT want to have to clear/delete headers off my mobile device after I have already read the mail using one of my PCs.
I just want a flag to show on the Today page if I have currently unread mail sitting in my Gmail box and to go away when I don't... no matter which machine checks/reads the message(s).
Even better would be if it supported multiple Gmail accounts and Gmail for Domains.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
You almost hear the crickets in the silence.
This would be a great thing if it could be accomplished. I can write something like that in Linux using PHP, and then port it to Windows, but there's no way I could get close to doing something like that for the mobile, you're prolly better off using the GMail client from gmail.com/m and just setting it to download headers only, not the body, since it's just a simplified interface to the website for the phone. I used it on my SE w810i for a while because I was out of the house for over 20 hours one day and wanted to check my mail. (GPRS/EDGE data connection for the win.)
Finally, someone has taken this project on! Egil has developed a gmail notifier for Windows Mobile. I've been using it for about a week now. Works well. It is still a work in progress.
Its nice not to have to delete the headers I was downloading via POP3.

Good news! Gmail is going to support IMAP.
So reading a message on your PocketPC will change the status to read on the server.
It will be interesting to see if using IMAP through Pocket Outlook will work any better/easier.
Just waiting for IMAP to be enabled on my account so I can compare.
IMAP doesn't need to appear on your GMail settings!

But instead of entering port numbers enter imap.gmail.com:993
cmartino, what device were you able to get poGmail running on?
Did you get a today screen plug-in to appear?
Did you install ".NET Compact Framework 2.0"?
I still like SMS for email notification because it does not drain the battery and is true push. The problem: SMS is usually not free. The solution: peekamo, the only SMS service free on both receiving and sending.
On one of my servers, I run a Perl script to check gmail via atom feeds and then send a SMS to my phone via peekamo. Works like a charm, love it.

Installed on WM 6.1 which includes .net CF 2.0. Today plugin seems to only work when run from \program files\ (tried \extendedrom\program files\ to no avail).
Nice little app - worth a look if you aren't totally enamored with pocket outlook...

that site no longer exists, any ideas where to find a good gmail notifier?
Gents,
i can not run Gmail on my HTC.
What i mean is that the website works fine but i can not install the Java Applet to use Gmail faster and smarter.
Anyone has the same problem?
How to sort it out?
thanks
Why not configure the outlook on your PDA to connect whith IMAP to the gmail server?
could be a solution
but i like the "gmail" inbox format to manage mails.
in any case i will try also imap
There are apps for the threaded view in outlook for WM6, and if I remember correctly WM 6.1 supports it natively...
i don't want to be boring but i can't understand why this f.... htc could not download this aplet:
Could some one try?
Just open this link from the mobile gmail.com/app
Answer: HTC products aren't simple phones that need ****ty JAVA apps to access services... And I'm sure as hell I wouldn't want to use a JAVA app for checking my mail, when the Pocket Outlook does a great job. Also there was no JAVA enviroment included until WM6 came (and some WM5 distributions).
btw, it is working for me....
gmail java app => solution
Hello, i'm french, so sorry for my english.
I had a problem with gmail too, but i tried a solution and it was a success.
I downloaded "opera mini" (java app).
i launched "opera mini" and used it to download gmail app.
The default file that is downloaded from the gmail site is a *.jad file, this file contains information about the the actual program file (*.jar), like where is it found, size, author,...
If you open the *.jad file whith the included JAVA enviroment, it should automatically download the *.jar file and install it. Through the installation it should ask about internet connections, and about access priviliges.
Also applets that use the web connection need to be confirmed each time they want to connect.
The method of how do you download the *.jad file shouldn't matter, because the JAVA enviroment App handles it, not the browser....
SORTED OUT
the problem is the Italian version of the Applet Java.
I have tried the english version and works fine.
VERY GOOD!!!
I don't understand why people go with Java apps when there's an alternative PPC app that will do the same thing.
For example users in the US/UK that install Google Maps over Microsoft Live Search. I'm all for Google products, but credit is given where credit's due, and Live Search absolutely kills Google Maps.
I've tried using GMail through my WM device before and the reason why i don't use it is that when I send an E-Mail to someone I always get a copy of what i just sent arriving in my inbox again. it's annoying, the Java Client is much better.
Then leave the POP3 configuration and use IMAP

It has only advantages over the POP3, more secure, more functions,...
GMail WM Push & SFR...
Hi guys !
Has anyone found a solution to create a "Push mode" on GMAIL mobile ? My problem is that with the SFR contract (Illimythics), the web can only be accessed on http (wap SFR) => & therefore, you can't setup a classic Outlook/Pop mailbox.
You're then obliged to use a GMAIL app. but :
1) with the standard configuration, each time GMAIL connects to the Internet, you'll need to allow it (first message "MIDIet Gmail pas fiable needs to send & receive..." bla bla; and then ""Yes, but ask me at next session")
2) You have each time to refresh your mailbox manually...
So many clicks simply to get your e-mails..
Thanks for your help !

There isn't a Push Mail option for GMAIL (like whith exchange mail servers), also I'm not form France, but are you sure about neither POP3 nor IMAP protocolls available for you, only HTTP/HTTPS?
Gmail and Push
Hi,
I´ve been using Gmail push with seven (community.seven.com) and also with mobipush.com
Both work very well for me. And push is in real time.
I just thought it could be interesting to let you know.
I, for one, don't like to use a 3rd party for syncing my emails...
I use GMAILs IMAP whith SSL (can't even use it otherwise...), whith a 5 minut check interval... works like a dream....
How long does the battery last with a constant data connection?
1,2-1,5 days
I have been having problems loading up yahoo mail. I use the original opera mobile to load the desktop version of yahoo mail. However, after it loads, before I have a chance to do anything, it goes blank and then tries to reload the page again. It keeps doing this for no apparent reason. I usually have to manually stop the page before I can click on any messages. Sometimes the stop command doesn't even stop the reloading. Is there something wrong with opera, or did yahoo mail do something new to the site that prompts opera to keep reloading. I don't think I noticed this few months ago. Don't know what is new since.
I'm not having a problem with web access of Yahoo via. Opera. I have had a ton of problems using IMAP and use web as a backup and that has been fairly reliable. When I used Pocket IT on my Motorola Q, I often had to clear temporary files and even cookies but haven't seen that problem using Opera in my Sprint Touch Pro. You might try clearing your cookies and temp files ... (I dunno how to do that in Opera!).
I suddenly am unable to view my email messages. I can download them, and they show up in the inbox, but when I click on them, nothing happens. I have three email accounts (Comcast POP3, gMail, and Hotmail) and have used them for years. I did make only one change in the past week to my phone, and I believe it does have some connection to my problem. I use Internet Explorer Mobile occasionally to visit some secure web sites that I cannot open with Opera. I hate the newest version of IEM 6.5, so I downloaded the older version that came with WM6.1 and that is when some of my problems started. At first, I couldn't open gMail. But Comcast and Hotmail both worked fine. Then yesterday morning I couldn't open Comcast but Hotmail still worked. Now today nothing will open. Any suggestions? Anyone know of a cab for the latest Internet Explorer Mobile 6.5 that I could reinstall? Maybe that might fix the problem. I know IEM isn't very popular, but I still need it for a couple of web sites. Thanks in advance.....
Tony
Hello, I'm going to be posting this on several different message boards because I'm not really sure who will be able to help. If anyone has any suggestions as to other websites I can post this question on, please feel free to suggest. The other couple that I'm going to post to first is tech-forums (dot) net and msfn (dot) org
I am having problems connecting Sharepoint workspace mobile to my Sharepoint 2010 server. I have winmo 6.5 pro and the sharepoint app is running. I have an unlimited data plan, and I have tested this where my data works fine. I have tested this inside my network and outside also using wifi.
I have one standalone Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise server installed. The server is working. I can get to the website using a web browser and it is running off of port 80. I can browse to the site from outside my firewall as well as inside with no problems. So I know that Sharepoint, in and of itself, is working.
I have tried two other phones running winmo 6.5 with data plans, and office 2010 mobile and am getting the same error.
Basically, I open sharepoint mobile 2010, go to the address sharepoint.domain.com (just an example) and I get the error: "Cannot connect. Sharepoint mobile doesn't support the authentication scheme that this server requires. Do you want to open this in your web browser?"
If I click yes, it does open the sharepoint site in IE.
All I really want is to be able to sync docs between a doc library and my phone, and my PC using workspace.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Under the web server that you have authentication methods, I am guessing you have integrated windows auth or something like that set , and to use it with winmo it needs to be set to basic.
Now it has been a while since I set one up , but I think that is your problem ..
You will have to make sure that the main and all subwebs get changed to match the same authentication ...
One thing I have done in the past if you need integrated for your intranet, is to clone the sharepoint site, and run a second one for mobile users, just make sure you are using the same data stores .....
Moved as not software release.
