[Q] Cannot access hotmail via email apps via T-Mobile network - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

As the title says, I cannot access my hotmail email account via any email apps (Stock, Aqua, K9, MailDroid) while connected to the T-Mobile network. Internet access works just fine.
Now, if I connect to a WiFi network using the same settings, not changing anything, it will work just fine.
I contacted T-Mobile, and they said I need to contact Google about this problem, as it's not their fault that no apps can connect via their network.
So, XDA members, what do I do?

Switch providers! :laugh: Sure that would mean moving to Canada if you wanted to use another provider that supports the Sidekick, but would that really be so bad?
In all seriousness, I have utterly no idea.

It's a Microsoft conspiracy. They want you to switch to Windows Phone. Just kidding.
Sorry. No clue on that one. It seems like the apps are configured to only work on wifi.

No idea
If it was all apps, I would suggest talking to T-mobile about the status of your ESN, but you indicated you had net access otherwise.

Yeah, I have net access otherwise just fine. Even my gmail works fine over T-Mobile. But trying to access my hotmail via it, will tell me "Cannot connect to server", or a variation on that error depending on what email app it is.
Wifi works just fine... I don't know what to do. T-Mobile is still adamant that their network is fine, and I need to "Call the Google" , as a rep stated. XD

I'm pretty sure it's just the web interface changing, and phasing out the old web interface. the email addresses remain the same.

That's exactly what it is, just saying I have never had an issue with gmail on an android
But maybe. This may help

I think you can use google and keep your number. I remember I set it up but didn't want to pay to use my original number or something like that. I can't remember.
Okay thanks man I shall take a look into that I'm trying anything anyone offers that whatsapp never sends me a confirmation text so it doesn't work:/

I use Text+ and have found it to be great. Though it does give a different number my wife just put it in her address book as my tablet. I can at least use it both on my phone and tablet and still have the same number for both.
I might have to try one of these. When I go hang out a my cousins house my phone switches the network to telcel since we are close to the border so this would help me out some.
Gosms is nice..
*Kingpin... get it?*
I use mysms. I can use it from the PC, tablet and phone, and it syncs the message throughout all my devices. Its also free from the market.
google voice does this... works great

[Q] Exchange Mail on Android stopped working over Mobile Data Connection

Hi.
Trying to understand why my Exchange Mail which is set up on mt HTC Desire HD has stopped working over my mobile data connection but still works over WIFI.
Phone Info:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 3.13.61.5
The exchange settings were entered by the office IT dept. They are correct and haven't changed.
It was working before, downloading my Exchange emails just fine.
I haven't changed any settings or upgraded the phone that I can remember.
My mobile data connection still works for all other data needs on my phone.
The Exchange email just stopped working over a mobile connection but still works over WIFI .... what could be the issue?
Any help is most appreciated.
Thanx.
Mex.
The whole DNS debacle has goofed up some domain name stuff as of today. IT may need to reroute their exchange data through a different server.
I'm sure all this stuff will wash out sometime today...

Thanx but not sure it's related to that as I can still access my exchange mail on a computer (even on the phone via the web browser - online outlook) also it happened a couple of weeks ago just now looking for some answers as neither IT nor my service provider have any answers.
Tnx.
Also I've deleted the account several times and set it up again ... it still doesn't work over mobile but works over WIFI.
tnx
Maybe its being blocked somewhere in the network chain from the server through your phones ISP. Are the apns correct?

Thanx for the response .... The APN for my ISP is correct, also all other data using apps on my phone are working. Not sure if its possible that there's a specific APN for accessing Exchange???
Thanx again.

What network are you using? Normally the wap.cingular apn would handle exchange mail.
Do you have the "phone" apn set up in access point names? If there's one in there for LTE, check to make sure it says "phone" and not "pta" in the second line.

Hi.
I'm in Ghana and I'm on the Airtel network. Not sure about your question, but however the Exchange email has been working fine for months with my current settings, which is why I don't understand why it stopped working all of a sudden. My ISP have said that the service hasn't changed in anyway and the IT department have said the same thing about the server settings.
Totally confused.
Mex.
No ideas???
Google it and see what comes up. I bet it has to do with the recent DNS issue where the FBI had to be involved.
Outside of that, I got nothing...

Thanx for the effort anyhow... I believe it's about to be sorted lolol.
I had to talk to someone really technical (way in the background) from my ISP to discover that its likely a PORT issue.
He understood it immediately when I described it.
Waiting for feedback on how it will be fixed.
Thanx again.

Facebook won't load on phone (the world is ending)

I have simple needs, and one of them is Facebook. Call it an addiction but I would like to be able to access my account whenever I please.
Lately I cannot load Facebook (pic very much related). It won't work on Chrome or the default browser. Friendcaster loads partially but is flakey on most.
Anyone else ever had this problem, or know how to fix it.
It works fine on computers in my house. But not on my phone with wifi or 3G
I'm starting to get the shakes guys

You just answered your own question. Depending on your signal (or internet speed), facebook does or doesn't work. Facebook works fine for me on both WiFi and 4G.
Check your internet provider and see what's going on with your WiFi. Either that or just reset your router and try again.
As for 3G, unless you're rocking past 800kbps, then it won't work well.
Last choice, go wipe data in the Facebook app.

Need help with Google Voice

Anyone have a clue why when someone sends me or my wife a text via GV, we get texts on both phones ? I looked everywhere and I cant figure out why this is happening. We exchanged phones recently and I completely removed all accounts from both phones and uninstalled GV....in fact Nexus 5 was wiped as well.
edit: we exchanged phones NOT sim cards
may be it has something to do with the hangouts application. Just a wild guess though

what do you mean desktop mode ? If you mean check Google Voice settings then I already did and no one touched them to begin with. They all look normal, my account ONLY has my number and her account ONLY has her number. It worked fine this past Saturday, then we haven't used GV, and after we switched phones I noticed this issue.

Yes he means Google Voice settings on the web (not in your phone):
https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones
When you switched phones, you should have changed your mobile phone registration at that site for each of your accounts.

We switched the hardware, sim cards stayed the same. So its not like I am using her number with my Google Voice account....I am using my sim card with my phone number with my google voice account
PS. calls work fine. Its the texts that go to both phones. If i send a text to her, she gets it and i get notification too, if someone else texts me, she also gets the text.
Check the devices under accounts and see if there's multiple accounts on one phone. You should be able to figure it out on a desktop in Google voice in settings and user accounts. Maybe its linked on a computer with multiple account

Thats the thing, I looked everywhere already. I just reset her Moto X and it seems to work from her phone but not from my N5. Also weird because I reset my N5 before I used it, I guess I have no other choice but to reset it again....what a pain in the ass at almost 11pm.....

Check if app has sms integerated in default sms app. Than check if the default messaging app is not GV. If not any problem here than its the account for sure. Both your and your wife's phone number got attached to whether your account or hers. Check her GV account settings too. Check which device has priority too.

CoverMe Texting Application

Hello. I recently moved from the iOS platform onto the Android platform because I believe it provides a lot more freedom than Apple will ever allow. I used an app on my iPhone for a very long time called CoverMe, which is basically a texting/vault application that is encrypted and secure. The older I get, the less I trust those harvesting my data. I downloaded the app onto my new HTC One M8, but unfortunately it does not work. I open it and it immediately crashes, asking me if I want to report the crash to Google. It does work, however, when I am connected to WiFi. I emailed the developers about a month ago, but have received no solution. I'm not sure if anyone on these forums will be able to help, but it's worth a try. If attaching the logs/crash reports will help someone fix my issue, I can attach them.
Does anyone else have this problem with CoverMe, specifically on the HTC One M8? If you've come up with a solution, please let me know.
Thank you.

If you want to get snippy, that's fine. But your original post only says it works on WiFi and never indicated you tried it on a cell connection. I was just telling you I got it to work.
Surely you visit a McDonald's that has free WiFi. Start the app there otherwise just deal without it. You don't have to be on WiFi all the time, just to connect to the app to accept the TOS.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I was not getting snippy. I thought it would be implied I tried it on my cell connection, as I wouldn't attempt to try it with no connection at all, and WiFi is the only other option. I used WiFi to accept the TOS and create my account a while ago, but it still crashes regardless when I open it and enter my password on my 4g connection.

I've been using the app you suggested for a little while now and it actually works pretty well. The only issue is that it unfortunately does not have an iPhone counterpart. That's okay, it will suffice until CoverMe comes out with a fix. Thank you for your suggestion.

Yeah! Try it only for installation and to set it up. Once installed properly, I think that will work fine after will cell connection.
