email problems

hi,
i am having an issue on my TytnII where i cannot get my email to download from Yahoo.
in pocket outlook, almost mediately when i click send/receive i get 'error syncronising' in bottom left hand corner then a bubble appears with 'cannot connect : cannot connect with current connection settings....'.
any idea whats causing this?
i can get web access no problems and all other comms seem to work fine. Just can't get email to work.
any help appreciated!
p.s. my phone is a UK O2 Stellar (unlocked) and i'mm on t-mobile, dunno if that makes any difference. Standard 02 ROM i think.

if you're positive that your out and inports are set correctly
and ssl and the likes are set correctly
then maybe your cellphone network may be blocking those ports
in which case you can try the same using wifi bluetooth or usb to performe
the same operations

using Wifi i can get a bit further so there is definately and issue with my email contacting the mail server via GSM.
But i think there are also issues with my setting so i will try that first, when i get it working solid through wifi i will try to sort the GSM issues.
thanks,

i have it working fine over wifi now but still having same issue with GSM.
any idea how to resolve? change ports?
i had email working fine on my old phone (hermes) using same SIM and email address.

hi,
i am still experiencing the problem listed in the initial post.
I can connect to internet and browse websites, can access mail on yahoo website, MMS and SMS both work fine but still get 'error syncronising' and 'cannot connect : cannot connect with current connection settings....' when i try to use pocket outlook to download my POP mail.
it works fine when usig WiFi so must be an issue to do with the setting that pocket outlook uses for connecting to web but i cannot see where i can change this.
any help appreciated.

all the experts on this forum who know WM inside out and noone has even a suggestion to help with this problem?
sorry if it is too simple for you, but quite simply, i don't know how to fix it!

Hmmm,
I would say you answered your own question! It just looks like your GSM network provider is blocking this ports since your email settings seem to be correct (otherwise it would not have worked via Wi-Fi either!), so, you will have a hard time finding a solution.
However, here a not-so-convenient workaround:
If you can access other (non-YAHOO) pop-email accounts, try to forward all incoming YAHOO email to that email account, then set also your outgoing messages regarding to the functioning pop email account but as reply email use the YAHOO.
Try to contact your GSM network provider's technical stuff to verify your settings / ports. If they can asure you that this ports are not blocked, well, then there is only 1 other party to contact: YAHOO themself!
If you are a paid YAHOO SUBSCRIBER and you upgraded to the pop email account at YAHOO, they might be able to walk you through. If you use only YAHOO's free email: the free service does not work with pop email clients - only via their webmail.

hi,
thanks for the suggestions.
i am fairly convinced it is nothing to do with Yahoo as i can access when using wifi so that rules them out (no?) it also confirms the pop settings etc are correct as i can send and received mail with no problems.
using GSM I can access the rest of the web and i have previously used the same sim in another WM device to access email with no problems so forbidding a change to t-mobiles policy at exactly the same time as i switched phones i think it leaves only the phone as the possible cause.
i have tried t-mobiles technical helpdesk who are still to get back to me after 3 days... i am not holding my breath.
i think it may be something to do with it being an O2 phone/ROM and that it may be trying to connect using their settings when using email? does that sound reasonable?
i will flash a new ROM in the new year when i get new satnav software to replace the dodgy copy of TomTom on the device when it was delivered. hopefully that will solve it.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] I can receive MMS, but can't send, when on Wifi

Hi all,
My S3 is running Bonestock 3.4 (Android 4.1.2) and I've noticed that, if I am running on wifi (4G data is still on), I can receive MMS messages (e.g., group messages, pictures, videos are sometimes sketchy), but I cannot send any type of MMS message, whether it is a response to a group message or photos/videos. If I turn off wifi and re-send the message, it will go through fine.
FYI - I am using the stock Samsung messaging app, but I had the same issue w/ Hangouts.
It's my understanding that MMS requires mobile data. For what it's worth, when I am on wifi, my mobile data is still turned on. I was wondering if there is some sort of workaround for this, or if it will be necessary for me to disable wifi any time I want to send an MMS message.
As far as workarounds go (and as weird as this may sound), I would prefer not installing a 3rd party messaging app.
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] Google hangouts default number

So when I first setup Google hangouts I figured I could use it for calling when at home and since it has a different number use it for calls such as business and when I don't want others having my cell. Works great, but how do I set it so it asks when to use the Google hangouts number and my actual carrier number?
I called someone just a little while ago and they told me it didn't show my usual number but the Google hangouts. When I setup Google hangouts it asked if I wanted it to send all calls, so I tried clearing data etc and still does it.
Anyway to change this so it asks instead?
LG G2, stock rom (no root etc) T-mobile.
Thanks

Cannot access internet while being on call (WiFi)

So I have been having this issue for a few hours and I can't find any cause that might have triggered this.
Here's what happens:
When I'm on a normal voice call on Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Snapchat everything, all the other applications pretty much show the internet connection as "offline"
Even google shows "you're offline, we'll give you a notification when your search result is ready"
The moment I disconnect the call, the internet works as normal
Phone: Oneplus 8T (Android 11)
Apps while on call, causing this issue: Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Telegram, Snapchat (basically everything)
Internet: WiFi ( bear in mind that I don't have Cellular connection at all where I am so can't test that out)
I cannot seem to debug this situation and its bothering me more than usual. Since I usually call alot and plug in my earbuds and use my phone. This wasn't the case ever, i have no idea what caused it.

I would appreciate if anyone helps in this regard
Thanks

Message app that "actually" uses WiFi??

Hello, Is there a messaging app that actually uses the wifi connection to send/receive text messages? Out where I live, if I try to send messages, it takes a super long time for them to go through. Sometimes they don't go through the first time and I have to walk to the door and try again. However, my wifi connection is full strength, high speed. I have no idea why it won't use the wifi connection to send/receive txts.
I have gone through the whole list of "fixes", and none of them work. It's not in Airplane mode, the app cache has been cleared, the network settings have been reset, the sim card has been removed and reinserted, the app has been removed/reinstalled, tried using different messaging apps (so far used the one that came with it, Cricket Messages or what ever it is, and Google Messages, as well as a few others). Nothing seems to work.
I would like an app that uses the wifi, at least, to send my messages out, and doesn't have ads or in-app purchases. Is there such an app that gets good reviews and isn't some sort of spyware?
I will not use FB messenger, if that's an option. I don't use Instagram, either.
