Trick android to appear as iPhone? "Exchange mail" - General Questions and Answers

Hi, my company has decided to not let us use android phones anymore and will disconnect us from being able to sync our mail from android devices.
Do anyone know of any way to bypass this or some other good idea?
Thanks in advance

Google talk login error

Hey when ever i try to log into my google talk through the built in im apps, google comes up with login error 409...i know the login is correct as i can login to googlemail with the same credentials, anybody else experienced this problem? any fixes?
same problem here... thats that bullish
Confirmed... it is not you
no problem here...
haven't had a problem with the T-Mobile IM app in logging in Google Talk. I think i put in my whole e-mail address as login/username.
Google talk in HD2?? Can anyone post a cab , i would appreciate it very much.
Yes... seen this problem
Select Options -> Settings from the bottom right menu. Enter your 10 digit mobile number in the MSISDN field. At least that's the way I got it to work. Problem with the GTalk that comes pre-installed on the phone is that it uses SMS messaging. I would recommend you look at Palringo messenger, which doesn't use SMS and can handle multiple IM Networks/Accounts.
I have followed all of the steps above and it gives error code 409 invalid user name and password. I can log into google on my PC just fine with my user and pass, but not on HD2. Any more ideas? Tmobile tech support has no idea
So I guess no one has figured this out
aie
no Idea dude sorry
I have even swapped out devices, called Tmobile tech support and HTC tech support. No one knows why it will not work. Someone out there has to know something! Damn google doesn't even have a help or tech support email address that I can find.

HTC Email Apk? Device Type Help...

OK I think I have finally figured out why the CM6.0 or CM6.1 email app does not work with my exchange server. My company loves to block unsupported devices. Aka the iPhone doesn't work only windows mobile is suppose to work by their documents. But i do know that they allow the HTC email app to work on the Evo, and when i was running CM5.08 i was able to use HTC Work Email.apk ... SO Palm, HTC , and Windows Mobile Device Type / Ids are allowed on the server, there is no way i can get the company to change those rules.
Does anyone know how to get a working HTC Sense Email app to work on CM6.1? IF so please tell me how.
Or if you do not think that will work, is there a way to change the Device Type or Device ID Fields for the stock android email app?
Please any help would be awesome. I love Cyanogen and don't want to switch to a sense mod, but my Exchange email is so important.

[Q] Q: Push Call Function?

Hey Folks!
First post here, and i'm only consumer. That first off.
I woul like to know, if in theory, it would be possible to create an App capable of this. It would be great to:
Enter Gmail account through desktop browser, access contacts, click on a phonenumber, click "Call with mobile" and my Android Mobile starts dialing the Number and activates the built-in Handsfree for me.
Would such a thing be possible? I think regarding the chrome to phone push service, also such a thing could be possible?
Would this be makable by anyone or does this need deep integrated coding work, so it would only be manageable by Google Labs?
It is possible to write a program like this, and I think anybody can do it, the programmer only need access to the contacts, but it's impossible to add a button to the contacts without the help of google

[Q] Sync MobileMe email to WP7

Anyone been able to do this successfully?
I tried this :
http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/how-to-use-icloud-email-on-non-ios-5-devices.345472/
But I couldnt seem to make it work. I have some people that i deal with occasionally that only have my @me.com email address, and they are the type of people that i do NOT want to miss an email from
So if anyone has done this successfully, let me know how please!
I have a me.com email address, and I used this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864 to set it up on my WP and it works perfectly.
Beautiful!
Thank you sir. Works like a charm.

[Q] Gmail won't allow to respond to calendar invites

Hi
I've searched for a solution to this problem and cannot find it. It either seems to work for people or it doesn't. As I understand it since a Gmail update at the end of last year this should work. So why isn't it for me?
The problem is when I receive a calendar invite in my email, on my old Galaxy S3 it would need to open the ICS in Calendar for me to be able to accept it. This was not ideal but it worked and I was never able to improve it. In my new Oneplus, it's even worse - if the invite is from Outlook I just get a blank email, with no ICS let alone yes/no options. From Google Calendar, I get weblinks and it takes me to a browser version of the calendar.
I cannot get my head round this, how can it be that the iPhone app by default has simple yes/no/maybe buttons that work in the email without jumping to any other app, but on Google's own phone it seems to have a problem with such a basic feature?
Please help, driving me mad! :crying:
Cheers
No-one?
OK, so can someone help me out with how this SHOULD work?
Here's what I see in the iOS app with an invite from Outlook:-

And here is what I see in Android:-

If the invite is from gmail, iOS works exactly the same but Android shows up like this, with weblinks:-

Is this the same for everyone? If you see something different can you please post it and help me work out why I see something different? Surely Google's own OS should be able to handle calendar invites at least as well as it's app on iOS?!
Thanks!
Slightly shocked that not one person has replied with simply whether they see the same as me or not. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere
Same Here

In the past, I had "Invitation Plugin" installed to be able to add the invitations to my calendar. But now, since there is no attachment or .ics or anything, even that doesn't work. I get the same "blank" emails as you. This is very frustrating as my wife and I use invitations for everything. She sends them, and I have to get to a PC to open my Gmail to see (and accept) the invitations. Very frustrating when this used to work.
I hope somebody has some answer/workaround for this.
I found a workaround. There's an app called Cal by any.do. It's just a calendar app, but, it does have an indicator/filter that shows pending invitations and allows you to accept/deny and notifies the meeting chair. This is mildly better than searching the entire calendar trying to find the pending invite.
So, when the email comes in, pop over to Cal and do the needful. Not perfect, but better than where I was before.
Thanks for replying, nice to know I'm not alone in this issue Yeah me and the wife do exactly the same
Yep, Cal seems to provide a workaround of sorts, thanks for sharing it. Seems utterly nuts that Google should make their own solutions work better on a competitive platform to their own. Very very poor
If anyone else has any solutions or comments would love to hear them
Cheers
same problem here
I'm running the latest gmail update (v 5.0) on KitKat and I get the same problem - google calendar invites present a links only that take me to a webpage. on gmail for my iPad get big easy buttons to use. How is it possible that the experience is better on iOS than Android?
Same problem here. Confirmed that it is because the invitation is from Outlook. Why is there no solution? Seems like the bug is on the Android Gmail client.
Still no solution available in June - as far as I can tell - is this some kind of spat with Microsoft?
It's a real PITA whatever it is...not what I expected running the latest software versions available.

I am facing the similar issue. My problem is bigger - I get at least 30-35 outlook exchange invites on my gmail account and my Gmail App shows just the emails (it doesn't show the date and time) which is sad. All the time, I have to check the calendar app, open each invite / meeting requests and select - Yes / No / Maybe from the Calendar. I so wish that the Android Gmail App comes up with a simple feature (just like you have shown for iOS Gmail App.) so that at least we will know that the email which we have received is an actual Outlook Meeting invite and not a standard email. Can somebody please contact Google Android department and raise this issue? I have tried to report this on the official Google App. Gmail forum but no luck on their response so far.
Again, thanks for bringing this up here on XDA.
