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
As of Oct 16th I am still unable to get solid performance out of Gmail Exchange with ActiveSync.
There are literally hundreds of complaints across the web detailing the same issues I am having but I don't hear people saying much on these forums.
Does your ActiveSync/Exchange Gmail mail work properly? Does it work well? If so what ROM are you using?
nope does not work for me.
i get
the server you are attempting to synchonizw with is either not and exchange server etc.
anyone else??
It's works for me after i changes my user name to [email protected] instead of [email protected]
I'm using touch pro latest official rom.
Yeah you make it [email protected] rather than [email protected]
Mine is working flawlessly. I am running EnergyRom 10/14. I had the biggest pain in the ass of a time trying to set it up a couple weeks ago until I stumbled across a thread somewhere and BLAM!!! it started working.
here is what you need to do.
1.) when you enter your email address in the first step make sure it is all lower case. ie.. [email protected]
2.) make sure you uncheck the option to obtain server info automatically
3.) in the exchange address use m.google.com (case sensitive)
4.) now enter email address in all CAPS ie.. [email protected]
4.1) make sure your password is "exactly" as you would loggin in online. (case sensitive)
5.) make sure that you uncheck "tasks" and "texts" as they are not currently supported by GoogleSync.
5.1) PS> not sure if this helped me but when selecting what I want to sync I went into setting for "email" and change them to this
Download the past---- ALL
Message Format----HTML
Download size limit----Entire Message
Dont check Include file attachments.
6.) Hit finish and watch the magic happen.
Also under "Menu > Schedule" make sure that the Sync During Peak times and Off-Peak time are set to " As items arrive"
Hope this helps!
ALSO!!! make sure that you are already set up on Google Calender!! if not you are going to error out...
There were problems with it a couple of weeks ago, and it stopped working for me. I tried everything I could think of but couldn't get it working again. Then I deleted the account and reinput all settings and lo and behold it started working again and has worked perfectly ever since.

I wasn't using googlemail.com.
When it was first setup, I followed the instructions provided by the Gmail Sync website, everything worked fine.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. My setup was identical to yours (all 15 times I have setup, resetup, etc) but I still have the same issues.
Contacts sync just fine (Confirmation that server address, email address, login info, SSL, etc are setup fine.)
The folders within the pOutlook/Gmail show up but nothing is in my inbox.
I can even send a test message from the phone with the gmail account, receive it at my gmail imap on a laptop or via the web, but not on the phone.
I can see those damn folders and send email, wtf.
Maybe I need to turn off IMAP on the Gmail account?
I was already set up to sync with google calendar, and that worked just fine.
I added my gmail to it, and it got all the messages, and even though I DID have include file attachments, it didn't actually get any attachments, or even show that an attachment was available to click.. so it's basically worthless.
back to checking every 15 minutes I guess.
at least with hotmail you can have it set to as it arrives.
using NFSFANs B13 ROM, gotta update to B14 still

I am using the stock Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM
There are many bugs and occasional lags of up to a couple of hours. Here are the bugs I have encountered:
Attachments aren't delivered
Calendar does not sync existing items from phone to Google, only ones added
Contacts are missing the category data
Well fixed mine not working. All i changed from the other settings for for it not to sync text messages and tasks and it now works I think !
Mine still doesn't work, no matter what shenanigans I try. I gave up, went back to IMAP, Outlook for contacts and usb/bt sync. I push my contacts to gmail via a silly file once in a while.
Oh well, at least Imap keeps things organized between all my email.
Gmail sync
I tried many different settings, but it kept telling me that there have changes on the server and it needs to start again. The only thing which made a difference, was setting the days to push as 1. It now works flawlessly, and has worked for a complete week. (I did not try syncing folders yet) I use it only for inbox notification, as the reply address cannot be changed to my domain name. So I use imap for sending and Microsoft exchange for notification (or if I dont mind the reply address to state *****@gmail.com
Anyone able to use the stock email app without any problems? I can't access my work email with the stock app. I downloaded touchdown and it works without any problems, currently using the trial, $20 not worth it IMO.
No, i have no issues with Exchange using the stock app. I connect to Exchange 2003 so I can't speak for newer versions of Exchange. Do you get any error messages?
I get a cannot connect to server message. It's not a connection issue though, if I type my password wrong, I'll get a incorrect password message.

Hmm, so you have the correct domain\username, correct mail server, checked ssl settings, and you get the same message? The problem could be on the server end. Can other android users connect to your company's exchange?
Also, if Touchdown is too pricey, you can try Enhanced Email, i've used it before and it works really well. The only downside is that it's not great with your battery.
Yes other android users are able to connect. I'm also able to connect on my girlfriends Mytouch 4G.
Are you running a ROM? If not, the only thing i can think of that might work is doing a factory reset. I had a problem connecting once but it was due to a bad flash. Did you already clear cache and data from the stock email app?
Some ROMs
Some ROMs have a working email client for my corporate email, some don't. I ahd not luck with Weapon g2x, but Trigger worked, for example. Also the nighlies I used (up to 104) worked, but miui doesn't seem to work.
My advice is try ROMs until you find one that works and report the bug onthe forums if you notice problems.
So far I've tried:
Stock 2.2
Stock 2.3
Weapon G2x
Latest CM7 nightly 119
All have the same problem. Could this be a hardware problem? It's weird, why does touchdown work without any problems?
Miui
I am using the latest Miui and it seems to work with exchange. OTOH, I was able to get several of the nightlies to work with my exchange server too.
LG G2X Corporate Email (Microsoft Exchange) Connection Problem
My phone is a T-Mobile LG G2x (LGP999) running Android 2.3.3 (latest version is updated); using Microsoft Outlook 2007 (not sure what version of Microsoft Exchange is being used)
When I try to setup a corporate email (Microsoft Exchange) on my LG G2x (P999), I am receiving an error message that states: "This server requires security features your phone does not support". The steps are as follows:
1.) Go to the Email application from the main menu.
2.) Select MS Exchange.
3.) Set up email: Type your full email address and password.
4.) Server Settings: Type Domain\Username; Password; Server; Select check boxes “Use secure connection (SSL)” and optional “Accept all SSL certificates” when first box is selected.
5.) Account Options: Select how often you want your mail to arrive and your notification preference.
6.) Type a name for your account.
I am getting hung up on step #4 (Server Settings). I am 100% certain my domain\username and server address are correct but when I click “Next” to proceed to the next step I get the message "This server requires security features your phone does not support".
For a test, my colleague entered his information on steps 1-4 into my phone and proceeded to step 5 immediately (Account Options). This problem happened to one other individual and he had to purchase a new phone to correct the problem (a Samsung). The problem seems to be around the phone or mail-server but I am out of options. Is there some setting to get it to work?
Another test I performed, I successfully logged onto my friends phone with my account settings and managed to pull up my calendar / email. He was using a Motorolla phone that used Android 2.2 (an older version than I am using).
Other Notes:
A.) I can log into my webmail but this feature does not sync my calendar or give me instant email notifications. My email in Microsoft Outlook is working as well.
B.) My username and password combination is definitely not the problem. I tried typing in a different password and it gives me a different error (username/password entered is incorrect).
C.) I tried using “/” and “\” in the Domain\Username section. I also tried checking and un-checking the SSL options. I tried other servers available on-site (01 and 02 versions).
D.) My work technical support insists there is nothing different about my security settings but unfortunately since it is a personal device they won’t offer any real support. They blame the phone or T-mobile. T-mobile blames the phone or the server. LG blames T-mobile or the server. See my problem?
E.) I had a work phone recently that was taken away due to budget cuts so I know it is possible to get my email / calendar with an i-phone (3GS).
F.) I also tried using “Other” on step #2 and entering the information manually (selecting exchange since it is not a “Pop” server). I still get the same message.
G.) I rebooted the phone and even pulled the battery and restarted.
H.) I can connect to my work wi-fi. I activated the wi-fi and tried to enter in all the server information but it still gave me the same error with wi-fi enabled.
I.) I have setup my home email account but could not do it from the “Other” option in Step #2. (sbcglobal.net and a yahoo mail both required the yahoo app to work). I also got the g-mail account to work through the “g-mail” app.
J.) It is a brand new phone purchased yesterday 12/13/11 (i.e. factory reset seems pointless and not attempted).
Is there some phone setting I am missing? Any help on this matter or another method to sync my calender / work emails to my phone will be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
I don't believe Android currently supports some features of Microsoft Exchange yet because of security permissions. There is an app in the market that bypasses those checks but it's risky, because if your phone ever gets stolen and your work needs to wipe it, they can't and you may get in trouble for breaking policy. For the most part though, they wont know. I'll search for it for you but I don't remember the name.
EDIT: Sorry didn't read all the thread My browser pulled me to the last post of the thread and I thought it was OP haha
Still though, it could just be security restrictions stopping you like I said.

It's weird that you tried CM7 and it didn't work. The stock rom has an older email.apk that is not compatible with the newer versions of Exchange and some security policies but CM7 should not have that problem.
what settings are you using?
I've used both Touchdown and the default Android email client at work without a problem, but your Exchange server must fully support ActiveSync. I would ask your IT support or server admin to help you out.
BTW, while Touchdown may seem pricey, it just works. I use it daily and would recommend it to anyone wanting to connect to Exchange servers. I tried other solutions but always went back to Touchdown. Their support service is top notch.
The only problem I have is that once in a while the email app will delete my account. It only happens to exchange, my pop 3 accounts stay there.
Edit: Of course, as soon as I say this I have a problem connecting I changed my password at work and when I tried to change it on my phone it would not work. I removed the account and added it but still nothing. I wiped the cache and davlik cache and added the account, great success.
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.
-Defiant
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.
Hi all.
Hopefully someone can help.
Basic I've bought this tablet and it was already rooted.
I'm not sure what rom I am on but a screen picture is attached.
I am using the exchange e-mail for my gmail.
However it seems to work fine for the first few days and then it stop syncing and e-mail start disappearing out of my inbox.
I've tried deleting the account and installing them again but the same thing happens.

When it stops syncing - does it work when you sync/refresh manually from app? Do you have any battery saving apps installed? Tthose can disable network connectivity while screen is off and stop apps from background sync.
The other thought is that I wouldn't trust device used and rooted by someone else - I'd do factory reset and re-flashed ROM. Who knows what background apps are installed there?
In your email settings, try m.google.com as your incoming server.
Gmail doesn't use push when using sammy's email app. This should fix/help with auto-syncing.
Also, you have your sync setting set to peak/off peak. Maybe an issue? See if a more frequent schedule is available.
Hi guys.
Thanks for the responses.
I would flash the Rom again but I have no idea which it is.
My email settings are m.Google.com it works fine for first few days then just stops.
I then have to go into gmail to pick my missing mails.
Weird and very annoying ......
