Hello all!
I recieved a brand new HTC Touch Pro 2 today, and was very excited to have finally got it! However, since getting it - 12 hours ago - I have been trying and failing to set up the e-mail side of things. I use both a normal googlemail account, a POP account through outlook, and three accounts that use google aps (mail) as a host. I have followed this to the 't':
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78886
But still no joy on any of the accounts except the bog standard '@[email protected] account. The phone keeps asking for my password, which I know is correct.
Anyone else have the same problems/have any ideas how to resolve this? Before I throw it against the wall! :-(
Hi
I'm having the exact same problem getting my hotmail account to work. I have a vodafone uk branded phone which I bought on eay but I'm using an O2 sim. I've managed to get everything else working but not the email. It's very depressing. It was dead easy on my trusty Xperia.
Thanks for any help...
e-mails not forwarding
Can anyone shed any light on this?
I don't know if this will help, but for your username try putting "username"@gmail.com instead of just your username. That is what I've had to do in the past and it works fine.
My issue at the moment is i have entered all the details correctly but when i try to do a send receive it says "error synchronising" and then popups up a box which says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tab settings". Which i have no clue about because its taking me into all the TMobile data connection stuff.
I get this no matter what connection i setup. But the strange thing is when i very first did it, it worked. Every time since then has failed though.
Tried calling T-Mobile or HTC? I don't know if they could help you.
Mine is working with IMAP gmail

Two things I found.
1. Go to Settings, All Settings, Connections Tab, Connections Icon, Advanced, Select Networks. Top box should be set to T-Mobile Internet.
2. Press Edit (Just under the top drop-down), Proxy Settings. I found the default ROM (UK) was set to 149.254.201.132 - not sure if this is a hard coded ROM error, or a Network wizard setup error - either way, untick the "This network uses a proxy server...."
If this was ticked, all should be OK now.
If not, then do call T-Mobile Tech Support.
Good luck !
I had the same problem on my TP2, unbranded byon T-Mobile. Unticking the "This network uses a proxy server" box solved the problem. I had the same problem with my old TyTn2 as well.
Remenber, if you hard reset you will probably have to do this again!! Hopefully this will solve your problem.
I had the same problem with the exact same error message on my 1and1 email account. I found that when usines imap 1and1 block port 25 (to prevent spam) so when setting up the outgoing server address I had to specify another port (got that from 1and1's FAQ's where its buried and simply says that sometimes port 25 is blocked and if it is try using port xxx (can't remember which one). Anyway that worked straight away for me. Unfortunatley Winmob's error messages are pretty useless so good luck in isolating why the problem has occurred - took me two days to work it out.

Yes I have push gmail by using acrivesync and it worked for me about the last 3 weeks but today it says:
A network or server error is currently preventing your device from synchronizing with your exchange server. If this condition persists, please contact your system administrator.
Support code: 0x85010005
Last synchronized: Today 06:44am
I have almost the same problem ... before I change my phone, it worked fin on my iphone, and on my diamond for test, but now, nothing since 3 days ...
After a few tests, If I uncheck mail the synchro works fine, it should be a problem on google side ... ****
It was working earlier this morning....phew...I thought it was just me having the issue.
Hopefully Gmail will fix the issue.
I deleted my sync and re-established. no longer getting error.
try it out....see if that works for you.
I did it almost 10 times, got 2 or 3 mails, and then nothing else ...
it is fine now, i was getting no email updates previously, but now works fine
I don't, currently, sync my mail. But I do have other problems syncing with Gmail, for contacts and appointments.
1) It never actually synchronizes the first time I press sync (i have mine set to manual) I have to press it a second time for the data to actually sync.
2) Even if I make NO changes to any contact it always has a list of 20+ contacts it is updating (what is it updating??)
3) I stopped using HTC Favorites tab because all contacts in this list get screwed up everytime I sync with google, mainly loosing their photos and rearrangin how I have names displayed (reverts only these few back to standard last name first)
4) DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use Tmo My Faves if you plan on using google sync. If you do every time you sync through google Tmo will go through and change your my faves contacts back to how they feel they should be displayed, including getting rid of custom ringtones for that contact and their photo. And you will get a txt message for every change tmo did.
5) Evey couple of weeks it tells me a change on the server requires every contact, and or appointment, to be erased and re-synced! Terrifying the first time it happens, not knowing if you are gonna loose anything.
These are almost too much trouble to keep using google sync... and yet I persist with it, hoping these stupid bugs will be worked out.
I have since dropped my faves, since I have the good customer unlimited plan. And have stopped using the HTC favorites tab. Even so, I still get problems with some of the contacts that used to be favorites.
WIll try again to use push ...
It seems like Google is still working some stuff out. I had the same issue and another as well.
Apparently the HTC favorites thing stores some data in proprietary places in your contacts and so that causes problems.
Also, for me unticking "Tasks" for syncing has solved the problem before.
Gmail Emails are not instant, I switched to Live because of this!
After successfully downloading a number of apps, I have found that I have a huge queue of apps which are listed as "starting downloading." Some of them date back more than a week. My phone is right on top of wifi hotspot, so I don't think the problem can be the connection.
Might I have inadvertently touched something or changed a setting that prevents the Desire from downloading?
Many thanks,
Joe
apps won't download
or is it possible I've filled all the app space?
Ive just cured my problem and it might be the same cause. have you recently changed your @googlemail to an @gmail account? if so this stops google talk from signing in and therefore stopping any downloads, i changed my email back to @googlemail and google talk signed in and voila i can download apps again.
That is the problem! I hadn't changed the account on my Desire, but I had done it on my Googlemail account. When I changed it back, the desire started downloading again.
Does this mean I have to change both the Desire and ordinary Gmail accouts at the same time?
Can someone who has changed the desire from googlemail to gmail answer?
Many thanks!
Joe
Hey, glad it worked out. As far as i know the only way to use @gmail is to factory reset the phone, somehting im not prepared to do, afterall ive been telling people to use @gmail for years an i'v allways got my mail so im gonna stick with @googlemail and keep telling people its @gmail
I am having the same issue,
... and just found at, that the market appl wont start downloading while I am on wifi. When I switch to mobile network, the downloads are started within a minute. Give a try, and please provide a feedback here whether this helps.
Hello all.
A few weeks ago, my HTC mail app started acting up telling me "Login failed" anytime I tried refreshing the app to check my emails from both my Yahoo & Gmail account I have set up on it. I called Sprint, and after a ##3282# mission with them, they were able to get it to work.
However, yesterday it started doing it again. This time, I tried the #3282# technique myself to no avail. I tried clearing the data from the app, but when I try to enter my user name/password, it tells me the info is incorrect. I know it isn't, because I can login on any computer, and even the Yahoo app works. However, I like using the HTC app for my emails and I want to get that one working again.
Sprint is now telling me they don't know what is going on, and want to:
a) Do a complete factory reset to my phone, or
b) Take it in to a Sprint store for service.
Does anyone have any ideas of something I can try before giving in to them?
I have the direct number to Sprint Tech Support, and they have me on hold researching the issue now. However, I don't think they are going to come back with anything helpful. I think I just got lucky with a good tech the first time I called and am now dealing with far less tech-savvy people.
Hi,
It seems that I have a systematic security error when active syncing while I'm roaming. I did not have this error on my previous phone : push was disabled but I could sync manually.
And of course, sync works fine when not roaming.
I havd read that ICS does support some more parameters for the active sync protocol but what could lead to that error message only when roaming?
Thanks.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Coming back to this, Touchdown does sync when roaming, so the issue seems to be more on client side than server one.
Nobody else is facing this issue?
Hi, sorry that I re-post on this one, but the truth is that I still have this very same problem for already 9 or 10 months.
Exchange Sync is not working properly when I'm roaming... Scenarios are as follows:
- Sync works just fine when I'm not roaming or via Wifi
- When I'd land in a different country, I'd get a couple of syncs working fine
- Then after 1 hour or 2 max, sometimes not even, sync stops working and the Exchange process is emptying my battery in less than 1 hour...
- When I go back on Wifi (e.g. hotel) or when I get back home, that's it, sync works fine again...
I fail to understand what can the cause of this and where to look for solutions or workaround...
As said earlier, I checked with Touchdown and syncs work just fine, roaming or not roaming... But I'm a "stock" guy and I don't want to use Touchdown just because of this roaming active sync that is not working...
Any recommendation on what I should look for? Anyone who would be having roaming active sync working?
Thanks.
PS : I'm on JB stock. I had the same problem with ICS stock and with ICS AOKP before...
Its possible you have a policy on your exchange server that doesn't allow syncing while roaming.
I experience the same battery drain you speak of while roaming. So to save battery life I disable data if I don't need it or sync only when I'm connected to WiFi.
Thanks a lot for the answer. I think I was not clear in my earlier post. My issue is not that the sync is not working, it is that I don't even have the possibility to manually sync and thus access my emails when I request them...
Maybe that's a DNS issue. Does ActiveSync even hit your Exchange Server? Do you have access to the internet when you have problems syncing?
What was your previous phone? Not Android I'm guessing.
That being said, there remain a number of issues with the Exchange related code in the native client. I myself just submitted a calendar related defect that is scheduled for a fix in the next major release. My suggestion is that you go to http://code.google.com/p/android/issues and do a quick search. If you don't find anything then open an incident for this.
If you want to try to figure it out, it is helpful to enable debugging mode since it can show specifically what might be happening in your case (if you open a defect report then you will need this log too). Here's how:
choose add account in email settings and for the email address enter "[email protected]" with a password "debug" (no quotes). You will get a new account named "Debug" in the list. Tap that and check "enable extra debug logging" along with "Enable exchange sd card logging". Now reboot. When your phone is finished booting, email sync operations will be logged to a file named "emaillog.txt" on the root of the sdcard folder. To disable, rename emaillog.txt to something else or delete, then set up the debug account again and uncheck anything that's checked.
Also, checking "Enable Verbose mode" will log detailed sync operations that may be helpful in your case. Be forewarned however, that the log will grow quickly!
At this point in time, the Touchdown client is by far the best exchange related client for Android.
Thanks a lot for the extensive answer. I'll go through it in all details a bit later but I can already say that my previous phone was a Desire Z, so Android as well.

In many cases, the operator/manufacturer supplies their own email client which may have been the case in your previous phone. Nexus is pure Google however. My XP with the native client has been bad from day 1, but has gotten successively better. When ICS was released, I could finally connect with the native client. Now, I'm finally using the native client but haven't seen it in action when roaming yet.....

Thanks for your suggestion. I am not sure about the DNS issue : I have access to internet while I'm not able to connect to the activesync server. I do think that activesync does reach the exchange server. I see no reason why it wouldn't (Touchdown does reach it for example)...

Very good. I followed the instruction, was initially connected via Wifi and did get the log filled. Moved to 3G (still roaming) and so far it is working. It is not entirely new that sometimes it works for a while as I mentioned above. I'll update tomorrow after a longer testing time.
Thank you very much for the how-to on exchange logging... I should have looked for that myself directly
So, I had to wait a bit longer than usual for the thing to start not working when connected via mobile and roaming, but I eventually did get the error :
I have 3MB of log (I kept using the phone for a good while with logging on...) with error paterns again and again but I think the relevant line is that at some point in time I get:
Sync response error: 449
Then there is a bunch of other strange things which I guess are a consequence of this one...
I also have a log for when I was connected and via Wifi.
I'm back from my trip and, as usual, as soon as I'm connected to my operator's network, it does work again, just fine...
I googled a bit the 449 error code without getting to any conclusion...
What would you suggest? Should I submit a bug?
Thanks,
I'd post it as a defect and see what they say.
