twitter and vodafone update - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a question about this app. i've been using this app for a while now...first on my bb now on my epic. however, i had to wipe my phone and now vodafone doesn't let me add my twitter account. i keep getting this error message: "a problem occurred while communicating with twitter. the service is probably busy at the momen." i never had a problem before and all my other accounts added without an issue. i've been getting this error since yesterday morning. any ideas? i like this app because it doesn't run in the background and allows me to add my twitter, fb, and linkedin accounts. i tried face2face but i didn't like it. any other app similar to vodafone? thanks in advance

No Push email after 1.21 update?

I have a de-branded Orange Desire and I applied the OTA update with a goldcard in. Everything seems to be working ok except for push email.
I have tried deleting all the stored details (cache etc) of google mail, HTC mail etc which is recommended when others have had problems with push email.
So anyone else noticed any issues? Is there a problem with gmail which happens to have co-incided with when I did the update or is this a problem with the update?
OK I have done some more playing and I am fairly sure that update has broken this.
on 1.15 I was getting push notifications from my gmail account (I think anyway...) in the HTC mail app. Now I am not
I have just re-enabled notifications in the google mail app and this now pops up as soon as I send a message from my PC. No matter what I do the HTC app does not seem to want to play.
Even when set to sync every 15 minutes this did not seem to want to pick up any email (it did work sometimes but not consistently).
I much prefer the HTC mail app (and widget) to the google one but as it stands I can only get notifications from google. I did think I could just leave google app for notifications and mail app for checking but the google notifications do not get cleared when you open HTC app which is a tad annoying.
Anyone else suffering from similar issues or have some ideas about what the best solution might be?
I had the same problem. I am on a debranded and updated rom but using the Orange network.
I found that my email was not being pulled down from two POP accounts. Everytime I adjusted settings I recieved messages about not connected to server etc or host cannot be found etc.
about 24 hours later it all works great... emails come in properly and I can send. It might be worth setting it up. checking that you have a network connection to Orange and that you have set your auto download times. Then leave it to get on with it for a while.
GMail has continued to push mail to my phone fine since the update, however my other two email accounts (one IMAP and one Exchange ActiveSync) which are polled often stop sync'ing until I do it manually. The same also appears to be true of my other sync accounts... Facebook and Twitter. I haven't been able to work out what causes them to stop sync'ing, and what later then enables them to randomly start sync'ing again. It's annoying, it makes sync and notifications for these services totally worthless because you can't just assume it's working, you always have to manually check.
Another way in which HTC has let itself down with poor s/w quality, IMHO
No problems for me here in my debranded Orange black Desire

Gmail still working fine, FB and Twitter (official app) both update as expected every hour...don't use any other email as my phone is setup for my DJ work
I'm getting the same issue, GMail is fine but push email through Exchange isn't happening.
Presumably it's one of the reasons TMobile has now pulled the update. Hopefully a fix will be out soon

[Q] Issues with synchronisation

On my Mango-updated (7712) HD7, I'm having some sync issues.
My primary email is [email protected]******-*****.co.uk; notice is starts with email.
Years ago I connected this email to the Windows Live Passport service, and it has worked ever since.
However, since updating my phone to Mango, I have had issues.
The first issue was to do with the newly-installed Facebook chat system. After hours of wondering why it doesn't work, I believe it may be because I can't sign up to Facebook using my [email protected] email address, because Facebook don't allow generic emails to sign up. I have to use [email protected]******-*****.co.uk. For some reason, they allow this.
So that prevents me from using the new Facebook chat feature.
Now, I'm getting a message from my Windows Live account (my primary email) saying it is, quote, 'Not up-to-date'. And I don't know why.
Has anybody else had this issue?
Thanks,
Daniel.

Facebook notification error

Friend is on 2.2 and her daughter used her phone to sign in and upload photos to Facebook. Now my friend keeps getting notifications whenever someone comments on her daughters Facebook.
If she goes online to Facebook she is signed in. She cannot uninstall Facebook for Android (only updates) or the Facebook for HTC.
Any suggestions to stop getting her daughters notifications appreciated.

Open FB and log out from the app or, instead to uninstall the app, just clear the app data, that will reset the app
Thanks, I have gone into app management and in both apps forced closes, delete data etc but I cannot uninstall either of them. I can understand why I cann't delete the FB for HTC Sense cos it is in the ROM but the FB for Android was downloaded from the Market. Will get her to log out and log in again and see what happens.

Samsung eMail App-> Not notifying for Gmail

I am using the Email app from Samsung. I have it synching to both Gmail, and to a Yahoo account. It notifies me for the Yahoo, but not the Gmail.
Now, I had turned off Gmail notification in the Gmail app, as I had gotten dual notifications: one from Gmail, one from Email. But now I find I am not getting notification from the Email app for Gmail, although I do for Yahoo. So, I have turned Gmail notification back on, and I do get notification from it. But of course then in the notification bar, it takes me to Gmail app, and I prefer to use the Email app.
Any suggestions?

Afraid I don't have any suggestions since I've worked all weekend trying to fix the problem. If it's any consolation the yahoo mobile mail update site has dozens of irate comments. Seems as if the new update (around Dec 12) is the culprit. Don't find anything from Yahoo but surely they'll get it fixed before long.

Hmmm...maybe I didn't write it up clearly. The Yahoo site is notifying fine (again, in the Samsung Email app). Googlel is not.

Here's the link. You might be interested to see if anyone else has your specific problem.

For what it's worth. I found a copy of the old yahoo mail apk, uninstalled the current version, installed the old version and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, yahoo automatically upgraded in less than an hour. Tried it again with the same results. Found out that you cannot stop upgrades. If you have time, I'd like for you to try the old version just to see if your results are the same.
Turn off automatic upgrades?

What would trying Yahoo have to do with me not receiving notifications from Gmail in the Samsung email app?

I had just done that and posted a note with results back on the yahoo web site before seeing your post. I wasted many hours this past weekend that could have been spent watching football if I had had your insight. Anyhow I appreciate your advice and the following is the note I sent along for other frustrated yahoo users:
A possible temporary fix for Yahoo Mail
I have at least temporarily fixed my non-notification problem with the new update of Yahoo Mail. First I opened google market, uninstalled yahoo mail, while in market I opened menu and unchecked automatic updating. I then downloaded yahoo mail 1.4.5 apk and installed it. This can be found on numerous sites after googling. After signing in I opened the app went to menu and picked the notification procedures I wanted. I'm on a galaxy s3 and so far so good. Seems to be holding.

Don't know for sure but it seems likely that you're seeing a conflict between similar programs. One is probably establishing precedence. I had a number of similar problems this weekend when I was trying to use light flow along with gmail and stock mail and yahoo. When I would get one working the others wouldn't. Finally had stock mail and yahoo working but notification was a sometime thing. I'll be if you reinstall yahoo apk 1.4.5, yahoo will work as a stand alone program and the others will work as expected. Let me know.

Interesting.
I have two programs: gMail, and eMail. I don't have Yahoo installed. With that theory, it seems adding a third app would add to the problem.
It is interesting that the email app will notify when I receive messages from Yahoo email, but not Gmail.But I think you may be right about some kind of conflict. It's also interesting that when on ICS, both alerted for Gmail. So I would get double notification. So I had turned off notification in Gmail for the inbox, but left it on for a particular folder (I wish the email program would let me set different notifications for different labels, like Gmail will).
I doubt I can uninstall Gmail, but maybe I can. I might try uninstall it and see if I get notifications from the Email one, and then reinstall and see what happens.
OH, by the way, I too have Lifghtflow installed. ANd while writing this post I had my wife send me a test email to my Gmail account. The light came on for LIgfhtwave, but neither app notified. I may just try turning on sounds, etc, and do it all from Lightwave.
Ugh...but then I may still have issues with the other Gmail folder.
I'll keep status posted here.

I don't think you can uninstall gmail. However, what I did was to go to settings, then app manager, highlight gmail, delete data, and then force close. That takes it out of commission for awhile and gives you time to try other things. Don't know what brings it back to life after a FC but I know that a reboot does bring it back. I've been messing around with android devices for a few years and it seems that the S3 is the most unforgiving and most demanding of protocol of any yet. But I really do like it.

I have tested some things. My initial setup was no Gmail account in the Samsung Email app, and no sync for Gmail in my Google account's settings.
So I activated auto-sync of Gmail in my Google account's settings on my phone. Then, I added my Gmail account to Email app. I added my Gmail account as an Exchange ActiveSync type account, so it would use push-email (instead of polling with POP3/IMAP).
On my computer, I opened Gmail webmail and sent myself an email.
- Within seconds, Email app rang and showed me a notification in my notifications bar.
- Waited a couple of minutes, but the Gmail app would not show a notification. I went to my Google account's settings and clicked Sync all. Now, Gmail app synced and rang and added a notification in the notification bar.
I guess I was just too impatient and did not wait long enough before Gmail app sync, but the two apps (Gmail and Email) show me notifications. You might want to try configuring your Gmail account as an Exchange account in Email. (What Are the Gmail Exchange ActiveSync Settings?)

Email is not working in the gmail app on my 5X, only gmail seems to work.

My hotmail and corporate accounts are not getting emails delivered to my 5X after a certain time today. Internet works on the phone, apps can get internet and I can go to websites in Chrome.
Tried rebooting and switched airplane mode on and off a few times.
Anyone else having these issues?
Edit: I went into accounts and hit sync all and it started working for some of the accounts. I should not have to manually sync the accounts, they have all all been getting push emails as they come in up until today.

Have you tried "outlook app" from google play store? Maybe it will help. I have this app installed, but for my Hotmail account, I didn't need "push" notification, so I set it to manual.
Hi,
I had problems with the GMAIL App not syncing my Hotmail account & also uploads to GDrive were not working about a week ago. I uninstalled recent updates and rebooted phone. All has worked fine since then. I have also allowed both apps to update and all is good.
If you're still having problems, give it a try
I've had issues with this. So have many others. Check out this issue here
