Hey guys, I'm trying to get Corporate Sync(Exchange) on my Motorola Photon to sync back an unlimited amount of time. But when I go into settings, I see the following
Mail->Email Settings->Email Delivery->Folder Sync->Inbox->Sync Amount = 30 days max
but then if you go into a folder within your email box...
Mail->Email Settings->Email Delivery->Folder Sync->Inbox->Some Folder->Sync Amount = Unlimited
How can I get my regular inbox (the first example) to sync back an unlimited amount of time?
Thanks!

Mornin' fellas. I've swapped phone and am going to let my finance use my 750 instead of her old 650. She only has a MMS package on her plan and not net usage.
Whats the best way to disable data usage on the phone, so she will not incur any data charges, while still allowing it to send/receive text/pic messages?
One example is this HTC Home plugin, it tries to download my weather any time i click on it. I need that to fail
Thanks!

I am looking for an instant messenger application that is easy on the battery of my HTC Fuze. I tried Beejive, but it just runs down my battery in no time when connected. I also tried OZ, which uses SMS instead of a data connection. This of course saves some battery life as it doesn't need an always-on data connection, but it would also quickly decrease the pool of my included text messages.
I was searching for a solution that would allow forwarding of instant messages via email. And if I were to receive such an email, I could then fire up Beejive and engage in the conversation. Does anyone know about such a service? I googled like crazy but couldn't find a thing.
As an FYI, I am using my HTC Fuze on T-Mobile with the $20 Blackberry unlimited data plan and a bucket of 400 text messages.
i would say that the im client is the least of the batt drain thing
the fact that the phone have to be online with gprs or wifi all the time
to be connected is what drains the power
which program would not make much of a diffrence

I think I might have a solution... Scratch the Blackberry plan, add T-Zones 5.99 plan and an unlimited 15$ a month text plan and your good for a buck extra a month.
Not a bad idea, if I wasn't using the Blackberry Connect software to get push-mail -- which is surprisingly gentle on my battery, even though it uses an always-on EDGE connection.
I'm trialing this at the moment, tempted to buy it when my 7 days runs out

Very little battery drain and when signal drops can forward messages to an email address you specify
Prob. a noob question, but I have searched this and other forums with no definitive answer. If anyone would know, I figured users of this forums would.
Verizon reps usually know less that I do about WinMo.
I have just ordered a TP2 and am new to WimMo. Had a BB storm, but liked the flexibility and customizations of WM and the keyboard.
I ordered the 29.99 data plan. Please tell me if the following is possible. I want to sync to my home computer outlook calendar and contacts -- can do wired sync every day or two as I will need to charge anyway. I can then do home email through a POP server on the basic data plan.
I also have a work exchange server (2003 I think). Would like to get email wirelessly from work, but likely would not sync calendar and contacts. Question is -- can I wirelessly sync with exchange on the 29.99 data plan, or will I need to use the OWA client? If I use OWA, what will sync wirelessly?
Last question -- what would the 44.99 data plan offer? Particularly if there third party apps I might add to help anyway?
Many thanks for your help. This is my first post but I am sure to be here often and pledge to support your work if I end up flashing a cooked ROM, etc.
I will pass along the little that I know
You can only have one exchange server account. So if you use that for your work e-mail, your other synch's must be POP or whatever.
I set up gmail, and also google calendar and contacts. The latter two used exchange. Then I could not set up work e-mail.
I started up and set up work email, work calender and work contacts (and tasks). Then set up just Gmail which is not exchange. Works like a charm. I had to standardize on one procduct (office at work) for contacts, calender and tasks because exchange was the only way to get work email.
Hope that helps.
Also, I never understood the two data plans. The cheaper seems to do it all, I think the more expensive plan is blackberry related.
The $45 data plan allows you to sync with exchange using MAPI. This gives you push email. If all you want is to get your mail from your exchange server, then you can use POP3 or IMAP on the cheaper internet connection. These will not give calendar/contacts. Hopefully these are turned on at work. I can't see the extra $15 being appropriate, but unfortunately I pay it for my exchange 2007.

Actually not true. You can still get full exchange/push support on the $30 plan. From what I was told, $45 is for synching to your PC.
I actually wonder if this is something left over from the Black Berry plans where if you need Exchange support, you pay $45. But they do get push on all accounts though.

WRONG
Your $30 will plan will work for push email.. I'm using it with gmail, and it works fine.. The $45 plan "allows" you to use verizons retarded sync program and some other things maybe.. Which requires you to keep a computer on, running vzs software.. VZ sync software sucks.. Oh, and you're wasting $15, call vz and switch to the cheaper plan
I have the $29 plan.
I have push email with my work exchange server.
I activesync/charge to my home PC.
I have a scheduled download from two other POP accounts.

Can you please list your settings to get get push mail to work? For example with gmail. I can't get gmail to push (or download attachments). All other pop accounts are working fine.
PS. i have TP2 vzw stock rom.
Verizon doesnt do a good job of clarifying their data plans. they want to nickel and dime us out of so much,they list charges for almost every specific feature a phone has and thats pitiful
I use the push/exchange on my phone for my campus email that uses exchange. I have the 29.99 data plan as well. I also use Internet Sharing on my phone ALL THE TIME...and i heard your supposed to have a tethering plan with 5GB and thats non sense. and when u call and talk to the reps they sound contradicting about smartphone data plans and the exchange thing. i just use what works....i havent had an overages so im keeping everything 29.99 until they decide to raise their prices again
Verizon Wireless, ooohh don't get me started with them :nono:
Speaking of data plans, have you guys seen the new ridiculously priced pre-paid data plans from Vzw?
PrePaid Daily broadband - 75MB @ $15
PrePaid Weekly - 200 MB @ $30
PrePaid Monthly - 500 MB @ $50
OMG man, what a RIP! Verizon Wireless - We never stop working AGAINST you!
Required Data Plan????
I currently am using a PPC 6800 when I was on Alltel and now Verizon. I went through about 3 store reps all telling me I HAD to get a data plan with the phone until I finally found someone who knew what they were talking about. I want to upgrade to the TP2. I use my phone to sync with Outlook and the WM applications and don't do any on line stuff. I currently have voice only plan and want to keep it that way. The Verizon rep I talked to said I had to have a data plan and that the phone would not work at all if I didn't. Are they blowing smoke up my skirt or is that the real skinny?
All I am interested in is using it for a voice phone and the occasional text message. My 6800 everytime I reset it I go into Connections and delete the Alltel wireless connection. Will the TP2 work without a data plan as a phone?

Any PDA phone that was released as of Nov. 14th 2008 does require the data plans to activate. Convinient timeng with the release of the Touch Pro. I have heard stories of people getting a waranty exchange from the xv6800 without data plans to the TP and some reps working around not adding the data plans. But most Reps will try and force you to get data even on a XV6800. All you have to do is tell them you want the pay per use feature or have them block national access. However blocking national access does turn off the ability to recieve MMS.
I tell my customers to get XV6800's when they just want the sync part of the phone for calander and non data functions.
Hey, I'm really frustrated with T-Mobile right now. I've been using wap.voicestream.com to sync my email, contacts, tasks and calendar then they tell me that they're offering a free 30-day trial of their data plan and I take them up on it. I never intended on signing up for the data plan but didn't mind the free no-risk trial.
30-days is up and I have them remove the data plan and now I can no longer sync with exchange via push over wap.voicestream.com. Now they are telling me that it was a fluke and should never of worked before. Is anyone else able to sync with exchange via push without a data plan? (i.e., just by putting a connection to wap.voicestream.com into their phone?)
Hello all, I will be getting the Inspire in two weeks as well as getting the 200mb data plan also.
I've never had a data plan before so I wanted to know how much data the weather widget takes up as well as Gmail and Facebook updates.
I'm mostly around wifi so I don't foresee the data being a problem, but I'd like the heads up.

You will go through that in a week. Get the 2gb

You can sign up for the 200 and go into your account and change it to the 2gb plan if you are using more which is likely.
Really...
Thanks for the replies guys, but are you really sure I'm going to go over?
I receive less than 3 emails a day, I usually receive less then 5 Facebook notifications a week, I'm never going to surf the web on the network, I'm never going to download apps on the network, and I will most surly never stream video or music on the network.
Will just weather and 2-3 emails a day run me over?
You'll be fine as far as usage goes if its based on what you posted. And like said before, you can always move it up to the 2gb. However if it was me I'd start with the higher plan and move down to better determine my usage.

Keep in mind the overage charges as well. Also keep in mind that there are apps that use your data even when your connected to WiFi.

I have used 27.7 MB of 200 for billing cycle FEB 21st - MAR 2st
That's about 1 week so 30MB * 4 week = 120 MB
I don't count on going over
I turn off autosync and background sync while on mobile network
and flip it back on while on Wifi
Thus on 3g i only get email when i manually refresh and on wifi i get instant notification
Of note... gmail offers forwarding of emails as text to your phone which is free... assuming u have unlimited texting. Thus, i can receive an email text and if important i can flick 3g on and open up gmail app

Ok cool, thanks for the help. I didn't know about the sms thing, but thats great.
You can certainly get by on that if you turn off sync and mobile data when you aren't using it or are not on wifi.
