I set up my Xoom with my exchange account last week, everything was working fine or so i thought. Now im seeing that Im getting email 10-15 min after it shows up in my inbox. When I was using touchdown I would get the email on my Xoom before my computer most times. Is anyone else haveing issues like this. I prefer the stock app but I would like email to come in fast. Right now I must go into the email app and refresh it.
more info:
3g xoom
Connected to work wifi at this time

no calendar sync
Things I have tried:
removing the account, clearing data and application menu, re-add
I changed the ammount sync'd to 3days (no change)
someone help
Self bumb. HELP IM GOING NUTS. I noticed the same issue is going on with my phone too. all other users in network with android phones are fine. just me >.< could activesync be freeking out because I have 2 devices trying to sync
Noticed a bit of a delay as well today with the stock app. My phone (Nexus one) gets mail pretty much at the same time outlook does but a 5 minute delay on the Xoom. Are you guys on Exchange 2010 or 2007? We are on 2007 currently migrating to 2010 and should be completely done with the move in a few weeks. Hoping 2010 corrects the issue.
Are you using any task killers? I am so tomorrow I am going to disable them and see if there is a change.

So no luck this morning with the default email app. Touchdown, however, worked nicely. I am actually receiving my email on the tablet before my phone now. Not the ideal solution but it works.
I have the same set up. Android phone and Xoom set up to activesync. Every once in a while, the xoom is very slow in updating. Not sure why. If anyone has any thoughts, please let us know!
I think this is an issue with Honeycomb. I have also noticed that sometimes GMail does not sync as quick as my phone does. Using the Wifi Only model btw.
Ok, after i went home last night I noticed things got better. Today while im at work everything seems ok. takes about 10 sec or so to sync to my Dinc and Xoom.
What we did to fix things:
1. logged into the mobile admin site for our active sync, I have been sync'ing virtual android systems and I had 9 different devices sync'ing everytime an email went out. so we deleted all my unused devices. ( there was 2 copies of my phone from flashing)
2. In the mobile admin site your exchange account is seen by an Alias. whith all the T/S steps I had been trying my alias in exchange got deleted. This does not prevent Active Sync from getting email to me but it does make it look a bit longer to find the right mailbox.
3. I noticed that I had many services trying to sync the same info this is bad. Touchdown was still running even after i tried to remove my account. Uninstalled it. Gmail is trying to sync books/calendar/contacts so i uncecked all ( I use exchange for everything)
4. Under running services I saw that attachment downloader was running in overdrive all the time. So in the account settings of the exchange account I unchecked " auto download attachments when on wifi." We email pdf's all the time they can get big and I saw that I would not get am email untill the entire pdf was downloaded. Also We use HTML email sigs, each sig is 3 attachments. After I made this change the attachment downloader service seemed to let up alot. if it didnt help me email issue it at least freed up some ram
Im not saying that anyone of these steps was the end solution to my problem but they all seemed to make things run a bit better.
After loading Gummy Charged on my phone, I'm having 3 problems. One is that my hotmail email keeps sending me notices of new mail even after I have checked them off as being read.
Secondly, I can't seem to add my yahoo mail account. Keeps telling me my info is wrong.
The third is that my gmail account isn't syncing my phone contacts. It is listed as a synced account but will not show the contacts. I have even gone to the verizonwireless website and tried to sync there. It says that I have successfully done so, but the contacts still do not appear on the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not sure I can help with the first two. The first one I have dealt with since day one, even on stock. The second one I have no idea.
For the third one, I may be able to help. I had this same problem and it ended up being a google thing. To solve the problem I had to sign on to gmail and go to contacts. There were a slew of people listed under uncategorized. I moved them to my contacts, synced my phone, and all was well. I hope that helps.

Well I reset the phone hoping it would help and it took care of the gmail account. Still having probs with Hotmail and I just gave up on adding the Yahoo and got the app for it.
There are also no longer notifications showing for messages or emails on the icons. Is that something that was removed from Gummy?
I have two problems since I did a manual upgrade to my I9020T from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4
Exchange Emails - I am using the stock email app. I found that every few hours, the exchange data gets refreshed and all mails gets deleted from handset. Then it will immediately start downloading all mails again from the beginning. This is causing huge data usage and battery drain. I have tried deleting all email accounts, delete call cache in recovery menu and re-creating exchange account again. Still problem persists. When ever the email app starts a refresh, first it will show "No Messages" and then it will again download all emails.
Calendar: Recurring meeting in calendars do not sync with my handset. Other meeting sync without any issues.
Has any body faced such a problem?
I've experienced the same problem with the email client the and the sync.
I had to delete the exchange account from the phone because it ate the battery in 3-4 hours.
You can try deleting data under Settings | Apps | all for calendar, calendar storage, email and exchange services.
Also, I've a lot of issues being resolved by doing a factory reset after updrading to ICS 4.0.4 (just make sure you backup your info).
Factory reset is the last thing I want to do. I have more than 50 games installed and other apps are also installed. I will need to download all of them again if I do a factory re-set. But if there is no solution, I will have to do it any ways. Would a factory re-set delete data from the additional storage on the phone?
Alternatively I have configured touchdown for emails and it works fine. But it does not sync calendar at all. Under accounts and settings, when I open touchdown I do not even see the calendar sync option. Not sure if this is a compatibility issue with ICS.
I finally did a factory reset of the phone and have configured exchange email. Everything seems to be fine. No refresh - delete of emails and recurring meeting sync is too working fine.
Nice!! Good thing is working now!
The problem has come back. I don't think I can do a factory reset every 2-3 weeks. This must be a bug in the stock email client. What is the best alternative email app that I can use? Let me know if you know anything.
I think there is no other solution to this issue unless Google fixes this and I see a remote chance. Untill I am ready to throw this and buy a new phone, I want to get an alternate solution.
I'm on the SGS2, and also on 4.0.4.
My issue is similar, but not quite like yours.
I have some recurring meetings that do sync. I'm just not getting anything new to sync.
Maybe an update will fix it.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, and that it's not limited to your phone.

Seems to be a common problem - I've also got exactly the same problem on my Desire with 4.0.4
I had issues with stock client and an exchange account too, honestly, after so much researching, i just got Enhanced Email from the market, works so much better
I tried Touchdown as a replacement. It worked fine for 2 weeks. And now, similar problems are back with Touchdown as well. It is now happening at least once a day. All mails get deleted, and downloaded again. The only difference is that Touchdown downloads mails faster than the stock email.
So, I believe the problem lies with ICS 4.0.4 and how it handles Exchange services. I am not sure if google is even ready to recognize this problem. I had posted this issue in google forums, and no one from google have answered anything.

I'm assuming this works OK on gingerbread? If not could be a problem with the exchange server

While I have not tested this exchange server when my Nexus S was running gingerbread, there are others in the company who are connecting to the same exchange server from their gingerbread phones without any problem.
So I am assuming this works on gingerbread. Is there any setting that need to be looked at the exchange server when the connection is from a ICS phone? Just trying to think differently.
Hi,
Just wondering if there's been any updates on this?
Same problems on my Desire HD running IceColdSandwich 8.6.1... with emails syncing ok, but no exchange calendar sync...
...weird in that no error messages comes up when i press directly to sync calendar, but yet no data coming through.
Like I said though, emails and even contacts are coming through to the device ok.

My problem got resolved by doing factor reset & flashing Google factory images as I was on stock ROM. You can try format of /system in cwm recovery and flashback the ROM. This could be a corruption in Exchange connected. You should take complete backup though.
Alternatively you can try using another email client and see if calendar syncs. There are many in play store.
Right now I am on a custom JB ROM and every thing is fine.

I had this problem since I had to reconfigure exchange after out server was migrated. I disabled the calendar sync and the issue did not reappear. Not sure if that is related or just a coincidence.
Since this morning I haven't been able to get any Hotmail emails.
Also when I opened my email app on my note 2 I was missing tons of old emails and only had like 5-6 from back in july.
Earlier I know Hotmail was down but seems to be up now. I don't understand why my phone hasn't synced everything back however.
Anyone?
Hi guys,
I've found several mails around my issue but none solved out my exact issue:
I want to use the stock email app to connect to my IMAP account but since I'm using that account for several years now, it hold round about 6000 mails in the Inbox. Thus I would like to limit the no. of downloaded emails. Its working with Exchange-accounts (by defining a limitation by days) and I could even swear that it worked for IMAP out of the box (I'm not sure though that there was a switch to define the no. of days that I would like to receive).
But now, after I started to set up my phone from scratch: As soon as I finish setting up my account, the Nexus starts leeching Gigs of mails to the phone.
I know about K9, but I'm interested in a solution with the stock app as I'm sure it was working before.
Thanks for you help.
