[Q] Contacts not updating to Exchange [Solved: See Solution in first post] - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a problem.
My contacts are not updating to Exchange.
When I add a new contact via the phone (selecting the exchange account) it does not get updated to the exchange contacts. Any ideas what I would be doing wrong?
My Sync is on, background data is on.
System specs:
I am running MIUI Rom (v22) but had the same problem with opendesire before I switched. Now using Cyanogen, ROM version does not matter
Email.apk version: 2.2
Contacts version: 2.2
Now Solved:
Possible Reason: Changed ROMs too many times
Solution requirements: Exchange 2007 with Owa and internet explorer then you can do it yourself else you need to get your IT guy to do this.
Solution:
a. Go to OWA (in IE) and delete all instances of your android device from there under the mobile devices tab.
b. remove your exchange account from phone and add it again.
To test:
c. Add new contact,
d. disable sync and re-enable for exchange account from accounts screen.
repeat step D if contact doesn't get updated.

Any ideas guys???

Use the search ... there must be an topic with the same problem ... there is an link to an stock e-mail app whitch should work.

hi philj,
i only asked the question after i scoured the forum and google for about 2 hrs
I'll try and replace the email.apk and see if that helps

So I changed Roms, went to Cyanogen mod new RC.
My google account syncs two way perfectly not exchange.
Using touchdown doesn't help because you can't add contacts to it with either CAM card or from the accounts application.

EXCHANGE ISSUE: Failed to create the account. Please try again later

Any one know how to force a simple pin on EVO 4g manually. I am unable to sync with my exchange server, as EVO 4g is not supporting PIN and not prompted me for the pin option either. I had everything working fine but after doing hardreset i am unable to sync with my exchange server.
Has any else seeing this issue?
Thanks,
KITO
My wife received the same error when setting up her exchange account. Her company also requires a security pin.
The interim solution for her was to download Exchange for 2.0 by Touchdown. It seems to have ignored the security pin requirement , though the interface is a little hard to work with. K-9 didn't work either. Haven't tried Moxier, yet.
Her old Hero with Fresh 2.1.1 (Android 2.1) was able to sync with her exchange account and configure a security pin. I wonder if the htc mail application from that rom would run under the htc framework on the evo?
Same exact issue after a hard reset!!!!
This is not an exchange issue, it is an HTC issue with activesync. Try to use the ActiveSync parameters to log into gmail. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
It doesn't work!!! This SUCKS!
i got same error all i did was go back to first screen retype everything and boom worked like a charm

Thanks for the tip. We tried going through the process again in case we were in the same situation as you (several times in fact), but no luck. We even tried setting up her exchange account using htc mail on my phone (we both have Evo's). It did not work on either of our Evo's.
I think it is unlikely that her exchange provider is at fault, since they created exchange. Does your exchange provider require a security pin?
At least there are 3rd party exchange apps that work well.
Failed to create the account. Please try again later
If anyone got this error and make it it work please post the resolution. This works for me one time but after I reset the device it didn't work :-(
I am having the same issue.. Nothing works, not even touchdown. I can see in Touchdown that simple pin is being requested, but there is no way that I have found to set it up. I *think* this is why it is balking.
same error here...any1 know how to fix???
My company upgraded to exchange 2010 and now my EVO won't sync. Getting "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
It was working just fine before they upgraded from Exchange 2007.
so i got past the account name screen what i did is i just replaced the mail.apk thats in system/app on my EVO 4G with another one from a rom i had in my hard drive
copy attached mail.apk to sdcard root
open ES explorer and go to settings to enable root explorer and file system
go to mail.apk in sdcard and hold tap to edit then copy
now go to system/app and find mail.apk thats already installed, hold and rename to mail.bak (or whatever)
then just tap and hold to copy the new mail.apk and reboot
it worked for me.. hope it works for you

The universal fix for the "Failed to create the account please try again later" while adding exchange server on android roms is
1) Add your account in Settings -> Accounts & Sync
2) In the second last step, uncheck all three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
3) Finish the configuration and your account should get created
4) Click on the created account and check back the three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
Hope this help you - I discovered this by chance and it works all the time.
DUDE big up on this I was having a damn tough time figuring this out on my exchange server and its a complex environment

I know this is a old thread but the above did not work .
We had to recreate a user on our Active Directory and Exchange 2010 and when we wiped his HTC Wildfire we cannot setup the exchange account. Keep saying it cannot create the account.
Anybody got any clue all?

[Q] move from one account to another

Hello everybody,
I've used a temp gmail account (the famous one we all have for receiving spam) when I received and set up my Desire Z. The problem is that I've downloaded not many but nice applications (some are paid) and now I would like to restart from 0 and link my phone to a clean gmail account (and market account).
Is there any way of migrating one market account to another? basically having the apps downloaded or purchased under [email protected] migrated to [email protected]?
If not, anyway of retreiving apk's from my rooted phone and then installing them after a factory reset and a link to that new account? (was looking into /system/app but it seems like most of the apps are not in, nothing found on the sd)
Thank you in advance for helping me
what I suggest you do is just download the apps you paid for and keep the ones you have on your phone then migrate to the new gmail. You can do this by going in settings>applications>manage apps then (not sure if this is the right one) clear the cache on your market app. Open market and it will request you to login with your gmail. Do so with the new gmail and bammo! If you ever accidentally remove the paid apps, just login the old account again, so be sure to write down the info incase you forget later down the road.
Probably not the exact solution you were hoping for but it's the best I can come up with!
Note: If clearing market cache doesn't remove the logged in account, try clearing the cache of some other official google apps that require sync.
Note 2: doing this will not migrate your contacts, but you can always copy all your contacts from one account to another by logging into gmail on the pc and manually migrating them there.
Hope this helps!

[RESOLVED][Q] Unable to add a Google account - A long story [Edit hosts file]

So it started a couple of days ago when I noticed that my Google Maps is not downloading data at all. Google Maps used to be my great companion while trying to know my way around in a new place. I used to mark places and do what not. So, when it stopped working on mobile data, I thought let me wait till I connect to WiFi and fix whatever is bothering it. But no, it didn’t work.
I noticed in Accounts and Sync that my Google account is not in sync any longer. I try but the last sync time/date stays unchanged no matter how I try: WiFi, mobile data, internet pass-through. It just does not sync. Assuming it to be a problem with my Google account, I fire up my laptop and type my credentials on Gmail. Behold! After a wait of more than usual time, I see that my browser cant find the page. I leave the tab open, and try to enter Gmail and I am in. No glitch. I sign out and try again. Same thing: it never logs in when I hit Sign In button. I link this issue to my phone sync and forgot it. Since I work (and live too) in China, it was safe to assume that Google is under heat.
I sync my other personal Gmail account with Windows Live Mail. I noticed that I can login to my personal account (web browser on a laptop) effortlessly. When I try my other Google account on my laptop (account I use with Android), it does not log me in. I work-around it and change my password. I tried to log in but same problem.
I go to my phone assuming it will ask me for a password change, IT DOESN’T. I just doesn’t sync. I try to remove my account from Android to add it again but IT WONT DELETE or be modified. Every time I try to add a new Google account, I get the message: “Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server” on WiFi, Mobile Data, Internet Pass-through. Nothing works and all bring up the same message. I get pissed off. So then on, I spend two days doing all this ****:
1. Create a new Gmail account and try to add a secondary account on my DHD: FAILED
2. Delete the which-was-working-earlier-account from Google (laptop) and try to sync Android: FAILED
3. Try to add account in MARKET, GMAIL and GTALK Apps: FAILED
Being a happy to go flasher and happy with RCMix Runny 1.3, I get really serious:
4. Wipe using recovery and restore to month old RCMix Bliss 1.3 nandroid backup. FAILED to sync with deleted Google account. Does not ask for change of anything. Just connection reliability error. Add new Google account: FAILED.
5. FULL WIPE and reinstall RCMix Runny 1.5. New setup. Add newly created working Google account during setup: FAILED
6. Try step 4 again after double wipe and everything. FAILED
7. Download ‘Revolution Super Wiper’ and wipe DHD twice. Install RCMix Runny 1.5. Try to add Google account: FAILED
8. Wipe with Super Wipe and install ARHD 6.1.2. Add new Google account: FAILED
9. Super Wipe, almost format SD Card, install ARHD 6.1.2 without SIM card Add Google account: FAILED
10. Give up and rant here in the forum.
Here is what works:
1. I CAN add a Google/Hotmail account in MAIL app. Everything works fine. No issues whatsoever.
2. I am connected on WiFi, Data Connection, Internet Pass-through. Checked and verified. No internet connection issues whatsoever.
Here is what I cannot try:
1. Use the Youtube workaround mentioned almost everywhere: though I did try to fire up the Youtube App.
It leaves very little to guess: if I can write about this for 10 straight minutes, I have ‘wasted’ a lot of my time trying to look for a fix and trying to fix this issue. I may be missing something terribly stupid or something really is wrong.
Who can help?
RESOLVED:
Updated the host file with a line :
74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
and I am through adding my new Google account.
Thank you so much... After reading a lot on web, n wasting my whole 2 days i finally got the solution.. I had to root my phone, but that was nothing to solve this problem.. thanks a lot...
I wonder what caused the issue in the first place.
This shouldn't happen by default, but I'm glad you found a workaround and I'm sure a lot of folks will find it useful.
Cheers

Hi all...
I couldn't find any information so I've decided to ask...

Thanks

First of all i think your thread is removed soon...
If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.
And you can sync them with Google.
So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...
What I did was:
- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )
- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.
- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/
- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...
If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.
You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.

[Q] Please HELP!

I have 4.3 stock firmvare (India) + ROOT and the next problem with stock e-mail app (ver. 4.2).
Until two days ago I used another email application but on the recommendation of a friend I tried to configure the application above. I set up an Exchange email account that is not fully synchronized (application stopped several times showing error "email unfortunately has stopped") so I wanted to delete it but without success.
That's what I did and what I chose:
Delete account from the application - successful deletion message - account still exists
Delete account from the Accounts - account still exists in the application
Adding a new email account exchange
Delete account 2 of the application - successful deletion message - account still exists
Delete application (deleting files from system / app) and reloading firmware 4.3
and surprise ... where I had 2 email accounts after all I have 4 accounts because was doubled.
Very strange. Is there a solution? Thanks
