Stock email app (exchange) + activesync questions - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have been using Samsung and Sony Android phones for years and this is my first Nexus phone. I have just a studip questions about stock email app and exchange sync....
I have added my corporate exchange account to stock email app and sync it self is working as it should. BUT, with Samsung and Sony I was able to set different sync frequencies for working days and weekends (Push for working days from 8:00am to 6:00pm and manual fetching for other times). Is this possible with Nexus 5 stock email app? I cannot find setting for it.
Second question is, Sony and Samsung were able to search contacts directly from company Active Directory using same activesync account. Is this possible with Nexus 5?
Other wise I really like this phone!
Thanks in advance!

1) no not in stock app. There are plenty on play that will.
2) yes. Go into contacts and press search

Exchange Calendar sync

Hi All
I have my note 10.1 for a week and i am very happy except for one annoying problem.
I use it for work with exchange sync. I noticed that any event i create in Splanner is not synced with exchange server. However from the server to device everything works. I can send and receive emails without a problem.
I have a note 5.3 as well and it works perfect.
Anyone has any experience or ideas?

One of my accounts thru the stock email is an exchange and the calender syncs properly both ways(outlook to tab and tab to outlook).
Make sure when you enter an item in the planner/cal on the tablet the first box on top of the new appt item is a list of the accts or a Dropdown box. Make sure you are choosing the one that is tied to your exchange account so it syncs properly.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much.
I tried again step by step creating an event both on my note 5.3 and 10.1
10.1 still did not add it to exchange server.

Now that i am thinking about it I did have to manually go into the system settings and go under sync to all of the accounts to get it to initially to work. System settings. Than also under the calendar settings. Sync.
Try that
I tried everything i could.
I even flashed latest stock rom i coukd find still the same.
My big puzzle is my gt-n7000 works perfectly with exactly thesame setup, same server.
Disappointment.

I am having exactly the same problem. Calendar items don't sync to the Exchange server. Also I see that not all Exchange items sync to the device. For example, on Wednesday I had 3 items in Exchange for the day but only one sync'ed to the device. Same behavior on my G Note phone, but my razr works just fine.
Check in OWA to make sure your IT department hasn't set a device limit on the number of devices you can have syncing to Exchange .

Not the problem as I can sync using Touchdown.
Still no luck.
I have tried using my old tab 7 and it works without an issue.
I will still check for the number of devices that can sync with my IT department but I don't think it will be the issue.

I had issues as well with S Planner, so I just changed it to the JB Calendar using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar&hl=en
no more problems!
I tried the JB calendar
Unfortunately itshows the same problem as sPlanner
I finally installed touchdown which worked immediately.
I don't like that but no other option
it is a huge shame that I am back to the problems I was having with Dell Streak years ago.
I hope there will be a solution in the coming days.
Thanks everyone.

I got it to work. I deleted the account and waited and then readded, but this time I set it to sync 1 day of email. Now I am getting all of my calendar items.

Great,
When you create a calendar item on your note does it add it to your exchange account?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium
Yes, I was able to create an item in S-Planner and about 15 seconds or less later it appeared in Outlook on my PC.
Just tried it, still no joy.
Thank you very much.

I am having this same problem. events created in outlook show up fine in s-planner but events created in s-planner do not show up in outlook. I didn't try deleting my account as noted above but I did go in and change the email setting to (1) day and it didn't help.
try deleting
I had tried just changing the email to 1 day on an account that didn't work and it didn't fix the problem. Only deleting the old account and creating a new one with 1 day sync for email got it to work.
Hi All,
I upgraded to xxali1 German Rom.
It seems to have solved the issue.
My exchange calendar is working properly.
You might want to give it a try.
Cheers

Getting Gmail push (exchange) to work on a different mail app

I've been using EE for a long time and decided to give the JB Sense mail app a shot. I tried to set up Gmail as an Exchange service (just as I did with EE) and it won't work. It appears that Google made it so that you can't use the Exchange service with new apps starting Jan 31st (unless you're on Windows Mobile, which is extended to July). Since EE was already set up, it continues to work.
I want to use Gmail as an Exchange service because of three reasons: push email, all email accounts in one app, and the Gmail app sucks.
My phone is rooted, unlocked, and s-off. Since I've got a functional Gmail Exchange connection via EE, is there any way to get it working with the Sense mail app?
Only new users can't set up Exchange server settings on the JB Sense mail app. This applies to all clients. Existing users, in an effort to reduce inconvenience, will continue to be supported.
If you pay for GApps, this doesn't affect you.
I can set up my gmail account exchange style using Enhanced Email without any problem. I'm guessing it's because EE sends some kind of identifier to Google during account configuration that Google okays because I've been using EE for gmail (exchange style) for a long time. I'm assuming the sense mail app gets rejected because it's identifier is different and Google rejects it.
Assuming I'm right about the identifiers, is there any way to trick the sense mail app to use the same identifier as EE so that Google won't reject it?

The stock sense email app works perfectly with exchange, at least on ICS. I am not touching JB unless HTC or Google fixes the navigation crash. And since that will never happen I guess I will be using ICS until my contract runs out and I get a new phone.

This thread isn't about the sense mail app working or not working. My corporate email (exchange) works just dandy. This thread is about Google disallowing the use of their exchange service for free accounts. If you've had gmail exchange working with the sense mail app in the recent past, it seems that Google will allow you to continue to use it (just as it allows me to use EE with gmail exchange because I've been using it in the recent past).
One way around this is to put up with IMAP.
Another way around this is to use the crap Gmail app.
Another way around this is to pay Google $50/year for Google Apps (that allows gmail echange use).
Another way is to jump ship on Gmail and use a different service that allows exchange (like Outlook.com).
I'm wondering if there is a way to have a fifth option (for me at least): have my sense mail app mimic my EE app to the point that Google will allow me to set up gmail exchange style.

Stock email app issue with hotmail

Hi all, just looking for some help. I have standards build (not routed) note 10.1 2012 version.
I use the standard email app and have used it for last 9 months or so with no issues. I accidentally deleted my Hotmail account details (in an attempt to sort my calendar out) after setting my Hotmail back up it keeps saying email syncing is disabled. I have to go into settings again and tick the email syncing again. The syncing last until I reboot or power off and back on, then same again.
I have my Gmail account working fine on same app.
Looking for any advice or guidance to help me.
Thanks in advance for all your anticipated help.

Possible to use the HTC Mail App?

Hi,
I've buyed my Wife the U11 life after she have destroyed accidently her A9. She is well with the phone, but the GMail App makes some Problems. If she answer me (Outlook Exchange Accounts) all Answers from her will copy the whole Thread into the Mail -is she Answer several times I have to search into displayed Thread for her Answers as the newest Answers will be displayed with following History frm beginning, then the Answer before is displayed with whole History, and so on.
We never have this Problem with the HTC Mail App in the Past (using HTC Phones since 2003), but with Android One the HTC Apps are gone of course. How is is possible to use a useful Mail App like HTC Mail? Just to install it via sideload is not working. The GMail Exchange App is crap, there are no really usefu Options provided, it is more like an iPhone -WE will decide what you want and need. :-/
What we can use the HTC Mail App instead, and how?
Best regards
Maybe try this? It's HTC Mail available on the playstore...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.android.mail
No, unfortunately not. So I'd tried to install via Sideload (downloaded .apk installed) but it fail if I try to start it. I think it depends on other HTC Software that have to be installed in the Background. May someone know what have to be installed?

you can try yahoo mail app from the play store what i use for everything outlook to google and even more
I would guess that there is no working htc mail app for the android one version, as it is n.a. in this thread too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438.
You could try the outlook for android app. As far as I've understood your problem, it should do what you asked for. It's free without adds, but you may want to change the signature of your mails in settings.
