Trying to get my Exchange account to sync but it's not an option within Gmail like it is on my N5 running Lollipop. I've tried sideloading the newest Mail and Exchange Services apks but that didn't work, I ended up with 2 Email/Exchange Services apps. I ended up factory resetting the OPO but I still can't add Exchange within Gmail.
Both Email and Exchange Services are at rev 4.4.4-5fa8c79c0b, Gmail is current at rev 5.X I've read that possibly uninstalling updates in Gmail, then disabling Exchange Services rev 4.4.4-X, then updating Gmail, then sideloading the new Exchange Services is the way to go. Can anyone confirm this?
Also it's been long enough, why after a factory reset did Email and Exchange Services not automatically update to the latest versions on their own? Is it that they are part of OPO Gapps and they will only upgrade when Lollipop is available?
I have also sideloaded the latest Google Play Services apk in the hopes that that would trigger the update, no such luck.
Thanks,
RCook
Answering my own question in case it helps someone out.
Settings > Apps > Uninstall Gmail updates reverting it back to rev 4.X
Settings > Apps > Disable Exchange Services, in my case it was rev 4.4.4-X. I also Force Stopped it for good measure.
Play Store, though sideloading an APK would work, update Gmail back to rev 5.X
Sideload Exchange Services rev 6.5X
Sideload Email app rev 7.X
Open Email get the screen telling you that Email is now rolled into Gmail
Open Gmail and add Exchange account
That was far more work than it should have been.
Lol good job figuring it out and good to know for the future

Hello,
I'm fairly new to android and have been playing with RCMix's ICS ROMs, I'm currently running v3.2 which is Android 4.0.3 with HTC Sense 4.0.3.
I seem to have found that push notifications do no work, namely:
* Apps purchased from the market website do not get installed on the device. (although now my device does not show in the market website - related?)
* Androidlost.com works fine if you manually fetch messages or set it to poll, but the (C2DM?) messages do not get to the device if left alone. NB, the tests that are available within Androidlost all come back OK, so the device is registered correctly.
* Facebook messages (and Facebook Messenger) are not pushed, but are there if I log into Facebook or Messenger.
* Pushed emails using either the standard HTC Mail app and Exchange Activesync or the GMail app. If you set the mail to be polled every 15 mins then new mail is received correctly.
Would this be expected behaviour for a leaked/beta ROM hence me not being able to find much information about it?
Is this a known problem with these ROMs? (I cannot find any particular reference to it on here or using google)
If the answer to these two questions is no, where should I be looking to try to rectify this?
Thanks
Chris
Having said that all the tests from androidlost come back OK I have just upgraded to the new version (2.17) which has more tests! Now it comes back with:
"Test no: 9
Sending push command from server
COULD NOT RECEIVE GOOGLE PUSH MESSAGE"
Update 2...
Phone now appears under list of devices on the Market Website.
I deleted my Google account from Settings > Accounts & Sync, then cleared the data from Google Services Framework in Settings > Applications
Then re-added the account under Settings > Accounts & Sync. I can also now remotely install apps from the market website.
All other problems still exist though...
Making progress....
Update 3 - Fixed, by doing the following:
Delete Google account.
Clear data from Google Services Framework.
Re-setup google account.
Uninstall Android Lost from the app (under advanced).
Re-Install Android Lost.
Open Android Lost
(Still does not work at this stage - Trouble shooter reports it has
picked up my work email address not by Google one)
Re-register Android Lost (under advanced).
Hey presto - it works! - and so does everything else
Hope this helps someone else in future!

I updated my N5 to Lollipop by flashing factory image.
Now I can no longer add email accounts for use with the standard android email app, only the gmail app. I understand that gmail app wants to take over but at least I still had the option prior to the upgrade to choose either.
I preferred keeping those two separate for some of my accounts.
I tried disabling gmail in the hopes that this would restore the ability to add accounts to the email app but to no avail.
Any suggestions? Do I need to find a way to downgrade the email apk to get that functionality back.
Thanks

Updated yesterday, & my work email was just gone. I went to add the Exchange account back in, & the option wasn't even there. I know that Google had removed the stock email app in favor of using GMail, but I can use via GMail just fine on my Nexus 5X just fine.
Did NVIDIA officially drop the support for Exchange accounts? I saw something in my searches related to Exchange contacts that was fixed in 6.0.1 - am I missing the account option because the Shield is just on 6.0?
Try installing this: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-services-5-0-106634657-android-apk-download/
That did it. Thanks. Still doesn't explain why NVIDIA left it out....
Running Cyanogenmod 13 24 May Nightly on a Nexus6.
Have not had any previous problems with calendar, contact and email sync until now.
Calendar, contacts and email was syncing fine. Until I noticed that when I added a calendar item in the phone it does not sync to Exchange. The other way around works fine. From Exchange to the mobile.
I have removed the device in Exchange, cleared the Exchange profile on the phone, added it again.
Calendar sync still not working ok.
Did a full wipe of the device installed latest Nightly and Gapps stock and tried again. Same problem but now I also get “Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly”
......
Same issue here with a few Nexus devices on stock 6.0.1. The problem seems to be the updated Exchange Services that came from the Play Store.
They are investigating the issue. Search for the thread on google support forums: Exchange-Service App don't sync

Hi All,
I have a Samsung J7 running 7.1.1 that won't allow me to remove the Google account. It has not been an issue until just today. It says certain apps rely on it and the only way to remove the account is to perform a factory reset.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Turns out that I just updated the Google Play service and it prevents removing the Google account. I just uninstalled the updates for this app and set the app back to the factory version.
I configure android devices for my work and obviously cannot issue devices with the same Google account tied to all the devices. Been issuing them just fine until the latest Play services update. FYI for anyone that is curious.
