Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help.
95% of FroYo / HTC Sense ROMs I've tested always initially give me a problem adding an extra GMail account to the handset.
The symptoms are either that Mail refused to auto-sync, or that I can't enable GMail at all (no option on the sync screen).
Sometimes I get round it with a combination of clearing GMail, Contacts & Calendar storage and removing / re-adding the account. I've not come up with a definitive method of doing this though.
I'm currently on a AOSP ROM, looking to go back to a Sense based one. I tried 2 ROMs last night and couldn't get the mail to work so I've NANDROID restored in the hope that I can find a solution before flashing again.
Does anyone have a definitive method of making my phone work with 2 GMail accounts that auto sync?
Cheers,
B
That's because it's a known issue in Gmail appart from the new 2.2.1 version...without updating to that it'll never sync the extra accounts. It's well documented and the new 2.10.405.2 OTA update fixes this.
Cheers Eddy.
Are any ROMs out based on the new OTA update? Or is this update not out yet?
I have managed to get it working every now and again, I'm just never 100% on the steps I took to make it happen!
Update is out now, I'm on it but I don't use more than one Gmail account on my Desire...there are ROMs in the Dev forum that are based on it so assume they have it working so go look there
Would make sense as to why MoDaCo r8 didn't work yesterday. It's based on 2.09.x. Cheers for your help.
It is BUT it's got the option for the new GMail app in the kitchen (I think)...I'll try tonight with another of my GMail account and see what happens
I had a look. R9 has the new GMail. I'm going to grab that tonight.
An update - MoDaCo R9 STILL had the problem. I tried NeoPhyTe's AuraxTSense and happy days - I have Gmail sync again.
Mustard.
I missed Sense a lot when using OpenDesire. It's a real dealbreaker!
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but for the longest time I haven't been able to send/receive MMS on my phone. I run recent CM6 nighties, with s-off, hboot .92 and the 7.28 radio. Right now using the ziggy 10-26 kernel.
I primarily use Handcent, but I've tried it in the stock messaging app too and nada!
It just keeps "sending..."
I've tried searching XDA, handcent forums, forums at Cyanogen, etc. Never really found anything helpful. If there's something I missed I'd greatly appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

This happened to me when I used Cyanogen as well. Never got it fixed. With this new rom (Ultimate Droid) when I deleted Mms.apk i couldn't receive so i restored it. Possible you don't have Mms.apk in /system/app/ ?
I checked, it's in there.... I'd really hate to go back to a sense rom in order to get mms to work. I'm surprised nobody else has had this problem...
Any other thoughts floating around out there?
Thanks again!
Make sure you don't have the stock messaging app disabled or any parts of it blocked or disabled. I had that problem before and that's what caused it.

Thanks for the thought, but I don't think that's the problem either. I can send SMS through stock, but MMS keeps saying "Sending..."
I had this problem before as well. Spent HOURS upon HOURS trying to resolve it. Turned out it was a simple rule in my firewall, Droid Wall. Make sure you allow "Messages" access. Doh!
I have this problem as well. I can send/receive on any htc sense rom, such as stock or myn's 2.2, but cannot send on miui or cm6.
MIUI - no send/no receive
cm6 - yes receive / no send.
I really can't figure out what htc framework, or the mms.apk, has that is letting it that the others won't. It's strange.
I know this isn't much help as I cannot remember how exactly I fixed this but it is indeed fixable so do not give up. cyanogen 6.1 RC2 works fine it seems, have you tried the new one?
I'm on 6.1 rc2. So far I've tried....
replacing the apn with a known working apn
wiping everything/flashing cm6/replacing apn/rebooting
replacing apn with cyanogen's posted apns-conf.xml, deleting telephony folder, rebooting
any basically any combination like that.
edit: I even tried replaceing the telephony.db and apns-conf.xml on cm6 with the ones that were on my working stock sense rom. Still stuck at "sending"
Anyone ever get this figured out? Having the same issue on my g/f's Incredible. She can receive MMS just fine in stock Messaging and Handcent, but can't send MMS in either; just sticks at "sending..."
It's an issue in both CM6 & 7. We've wiped, checked APNs, checked mms.apk, etc.
Still plugging away at this, but no avails so far. =/
Cheers for any input.
Scratch that;
A full re-wipe and re-flash fixed it.
Even though I wiped going from Sense>CM6 (then 7) on her Incredible, it sort of seems like a lot of the Sense/Verizon settings were retained within the system - almost like the wipe didn't fully do its job.
When I first ran the new CM6 install last week, Google never pulled her apps or full contact info automatically. It honestly seems like those Verizon apps were f**king up her ability to properly sync contact and app data to her Gmail account, even though it was checked to do so. Now, after a week of running on CM, a full wipe and re-install has all of that info pulling down properly, as well as full restoration of the ability to send MMS.
Hope this helps some folks out there having this issue.

I have seen the following problems in the last few days (running rooted stock EC05):
-alarm reminders for the calendar go off hours late
-adjustments to the phone calendar or computer one don't sync
I have checked sync and time zone settings on both and can't figure out what's wrong. And yes, all the events seem to be stored on the google account, not the stupid offline phone calendar, by default (fixed in Froyo ROMs supposedly). Suggestions are appreciated.
Is anyone experiencing alarms not going off? This just happened again with one I set for 15 mins beforehand. I wonder if it'll ring much later...
I seem to be having issues with my exchange calendar syncing. I have just started to fiddle around to see if I can figure out what is going on. Do you have any update? I am on the most current srf, even though my sig may say otherwise at the moment.

Hi
Has anyone else encountered this issue, or know of a solution? I've searched and have found similar problems but nothing exactly like this.
I've just upgraded to Stock gingerbread using the RUU download.
I use Exchange Activesync to sync only my mail from Gmail. However, when set to 'Push' email it will go into a constant loop of syncing.
One thing I noticed, after deleting and re-setting up the account a number of times, is that it works fine until I delete emails. Once I delete, the non-stop syncing begins....
Apologies if this has been asked before-I searched, honest!
Many thanks in advance for any info.

Do you use GMAIL or the htc mail app?
In the htc mail app, it is looping if you set the app to synchronize more than one day (3days beeing the default value)
With 1 day, it is working partially : many sync will end in error, but will succeed later.
definitively, htc isn't able to provide a stable solution for AES...
For my part, I still use the Froyo stock mail app, wich is working very well with hotmail, but unfortunately without html support. (you can easilly install it with the apk)

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this did not work for me.
Yes-I'm using the HTC Mail app.
I deleted the account and set it up again , reduced the syncing to one day as you suggested, but as soon as I delete any emails, it goes back into the continuous syncing loop.
Would I have to be rooted to install the Mail app from Froyo?
Thanks again!
I have same issue. If I setup Gmail as an exchange activesync with m.google.com it continuously syncs and sometimes authentication error, then it works fine again.
With other exchange accounts it is fine.
I prefer the Mail app over Gmail app as I prefer not to have conversation view and it will view.docx word files.

Yes-I prefer the Mail app. Nice clean UI. Always used to work well for me with Froyo. Giving Moxier a trial right now, Seems to work fine but a bit pricey.
Same boat here.
Prefer the HTC mail app but getting sick of the constant syncing.
I'm using a custom Rom, could that be the problem?

No, you can install it on unrooted phones.
BTW you are able to uninstall it like all apps later...
You'll find below the version I'm using.
If anyone has the stock 2.3 mail app, and that it is better, well I wouldn't say no...

I don't think having a custom rom is the culprit as I've got HTC Stock Rom on a debranded but unrooted DHD, and I've got the same issue.
By the way, as I said earlier, I have been trying out Moxier mail and it does not seem to have this syncing problem....BUT-it's a bit expensive and overkill for my needs really.

Big thanks for the APK, Samsenteur!
I have the same problem on a unbranded DHD after the Gingerbread update.
Has anyone sorted out a fix for this?
Does installing the 2.2 mail app solve the problem?

Of course not!
But you'll have another mail app that will work with hotmail push.

After a lot of messing about I firstly discovered that after a short while using Moxier Male, the problem returned. However Touchdown works perfectly. Unfotunately this is a rather pricey cure for the problem. I think the reason Touchdown works for Push mail is something to do with the fact that there is an option in the Touchdown settings, to only delete emails from the phone rather than the server. Having this ticked I have had no problems at all with the constant syncing issue. As for why this should make a difference...I'm afraid someone with more technical knowledge would have to try and answer that!
I'm having the same problem with this. Anybody find a solution? Not keen on the gmail app.
GB has proven to be a flakey update for me. Lots of stuff worse than Froyo (for me).
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
I have a HTC Desire (not desire HD) and have just changed to a gingerbread rom and now have the constant sync problem with push mail. I did not have this when i was using froyo...
same problem
Same here with DHD on 2.3.3 (stock). No fix yet, I assume...

why install the 2.2 htc mail app then and use it if it doesnt solve the problem (resending the deleted items and push issues) ??
i restored a froyo build of one of the roms i use and mail htc mail was working flawlessly (imap/pop3 and hotmail activesync).
the problem seems to be in gingerbread.
anyway to get over this? ideas ?
thx.
It seems you don't understand me :
-Installing the Android mail stock app doesn't solve the problem in HTC MAIL. (of course)
But it allows you to use a mail app that does work correctly with hotmail AES. (we don't want imap/pop, do we?). I don't have any push issue with Android stock mail. It works perfectly. My only concern is that there's no html rendering.
Touchdown is able to push mail with Hotmail AES and provide html rendering, but the app is expensive, I personnaly find the interface heavy, and it only supports one AES account at the same time (I have 3).
- I had the same exact issues on Froyo. And this is why I was already using the Android stock mail app.
Well I don't know what ROM/s you were using on Froyo that had constant syncing problems with the stock HTC email app. I've never had any problems on Froyo whilst running Leedroid, ARHD or Coredroid.
The only time I have ever encountered or even heard of this problem was on Gingerbread.
I've just gone back to Leedroid 2.2.3 Froyo & this problem doesn't exist on that ROM.
I don't see any benefit to using Gingerbread on the DHD (without Sense 3), it seems like HTC have gone backwards to be fair...
I was using the native htc Froyo ROM.
Sync was looping on first message when using push in Hotmail (no pb with other accounts, and no pb with pop/imap). As I've seen in XDA, I was far from beeing the only one to have this issue... You can find many threads in this forum.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with google stock mail app, so I no more use the htc's one.
Ah that must be why I've never come across it on Froyo, as I use Gmail & not Hotmail.
Do remember hearing of some people having problems with Hotmail on Froyo but never with Gmail. Think the Gmail problems are limited to Gingerbread.
Hi guys,
Im trying to make my exchange mail work on JB but he only keeps syncing and syncing....I think theres something wrong...he worked nice on ICS
Anyone knows if theres a fix for that?
The only diference that i see between JB Email app and ICS is that JB asks for a port...and ICS version didnt...
Im using ARHD rom...
many thanks guys
I don't have a fix, but exchange works on my phone. My exchange account even requires access to wipe the phone in case of emergency, and I was asked to give it permission running Vicious V5 JB.
I also was able to setup hotmail to sync through exchange.
Exchange works fine on my phone.
My problem is with Microsoft Exchange...dont know why isnt syncing anymore (ICS was okay)
I'm having the same issue, everything works fine on ics. Had been trying to find solutions for a while but nothing works. I'm considering return to ics cos most of my email accounts are different from gmail and they require to relogin to stay active.

Heh, very weird . I found a fix - just make sure the Check Frequency and Days to sync are on automatic AND turn on the automatic sync. Turning on automatic sync for all accounts seems to have done the trick. Hope it helps someone .
Hi guys,
Update: Problem Solved.
I re-started phone, removed all security features and tried to configure again. It worked by configuring automatically and applying all security features.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have the similar issue.
I used Samsung's OTA update today to upgrade to Jelly Beans and my Exchange went kaput. It's unable to find mail server. I deleted the account and tried to create again, but no luck.
I compared with ICS on my tab and only difference between JB Email app and ICS is that JB asks for a port...and ICS version didnt...
Anyone knows if there's a fix for that?
I am using the OTA updated version without system root.
Many thanks in advance,
hey,
I tried your solution indian_curry but it doesnt work for me. I've deleted and reconfigured the account several times during the last days. Right after configuration everything works fine. All contacts are there. But a couple of minutes or hours later, the contacts are gone. It started a few days ago. But not directly with the JB update... very weired
So are there any other sulutions?
thanks
