My other android phones seems to be working fine when I add my school's email to it. But on E4GT, it doesn't seem to want to add it to it. I'm trying to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

hey guys.
i have a million questions but i'll restrict this post to two for now.
a little back up...i have my evo unlocked and rooted on AVA Froyo V6 on MetroPCS' network. i have their $50 smart phone plan which has push email. this feature worked great on my samsung code from metro.
now on to the issues
first and most annoying - using the stock internet browser, while WIFI is OFF i can browse using MetroPCS data network. it works well and at their speeds. if i turn on wifi, no matter where, both the stock internet browser and skyfire suddenly start giving connection errors. if i turn off wifi they go back to working but on the data network. while these two arent working, market works, pandora, facebook, weather, etc. all apps work on wifi except those two internet browsers. i should also mention opera mobile WORKS. not SKYFIRE and not the default browser - which I happen to like more than the other two!
any ideas why? what can i do to fix this?
second and also annoying - the email app SUCKS. i use Hotmail for everything. i have my gmail account forwarding there, my university account forwarding there, my website accounts forwarding there. everything ends in my hotmail account. with my previous phone (samsung code running windows mobile 6.1) i had push email working wondefully and i got used to that. i know the network has the capacity to do it. i also know it's not a problem with the network and this phone, as the email app will download the emails when it feels like it. but then if i read the email or delete the email on the phone, it doesnt do so in the server even though I have it set to do it. also when I go in and click refresh it will tell me there arent any new emails when I know there are...and then when it feels like it later it downloads the email.
is there a program, whether free or paid, that will let me have proper push email with my hotmail account? i dont need any computer sync, just download my email on the fly, preferably as they arrive.
thanks much in advance!
if i can get those two issues worked out my EVO experience will be completely blissful
for your first question i dont have an answer.
for your second question have you tried k9 mail? It works for me doing something similar. I use yahoo and not hotmail but similar set up with all mails coming to that 1 email and it pushes them as i get them and dont normally have any issues with this. It also removes them jsut fine from yahoo.
i installed K9 and it's doing things well with one major issue...which i've now come to realize is the same issue affecting the stock mail app.
the phone can't connect to HOTMAIL's outgoing server. so it downloads the emails as they arrive and i can open them and what not. but if i read them, or delete them, it doesn't update them in the server. it also wont let me send an email out, saying the SMTP settings are wrong, even though it's setting them automatically. so all of these issues are because the phone is not connecting to the outgoing server!
what now?

anyone have any idea on the internet with wifi issue?
Hello,
I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere. We are upgrading from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 at my work, while testing Exchange 2010 I found out that activesync (push) email works great on iPhones and iPads, but not on my Droid Incredible . I can create the account just fine and manually refresh to see my mail, but if I have my exchange activesync email set to "as items arrive" and send myself a test email, I don't get it until I open up the email app and it refreshes.
I'm using the default htc email app, I have tried deleting and recreating my account several times. If I have the setting set to any thing else, like sync every 5 minutes it works just fine, but for some reason if it's set to as items arrive I won't get the email until I manually look at the email app. I can't deploy exchange 2010 with this going on as we have many other android users in the company.
Please help!
The Android native email application needs improvement no doubt. I use TouchDown as we have Exchange 2007 and are enforcing security policies. Those don't work too well with the native application.
Push works great, but it's a one time fee of $20, but in my opinion worth it.

Thanks RMarkwald! I downloaded and tried out TouchDown and it works great for Exchange 2010. At least I have a solution if users start complaining about push no longer working after we upgrade.
Hopefully htc will get an update out for this at some point because a simple thing like activesync should work on the stock email app.
Hey no problem! I think that the issue is more of an Android issue, not really HTC, cause it happens across the board. I've had nothing but issues before I purchased TD, and that was before we enabled PIN/security features. $20 is a lot, but my company purchased it for me, and I can use it on my Xoom without having to pay another $20, so IMO it's worth it.
Their support is great too, from the times I've contacted them with questions. I really like you can sync Tasks and manage your Out of Office too.
Ok, let's try to explain my goal:
my work email allows me outside intranet access if entering via phone browser only. Access setting up an exchange account doesn't work and forwarding email (to mail gmail) it's blocked. All my bosses own a company blackberry and they DO have email pushed to their phone. This morning a colleague (not a boss) whith his own (not company) blackberry has been able to have the email pushed to his phone, using standard exchange "procedure" (name, password, exchange server). We are a bunch of colleagues android/iphone equipped but nobody else never suceeded in this contest. This is really upsetting me! I'm thinking that trying to make my company server thinking I'm accessing via a blackberry should do the trick, but never read a similar request/tentative before. Plan B could be finding a (paid) service which could fetch via webmail my emails and then forward them to my gmail (as gmail fetcher isn't able to fetch via webmail) but couldn't find nothing similar on the net.
Hope to have explained properly... any idea?
Tks folks
I am a new owner of a 2013 Nexus 7. My work uses outlook exchange 2010. I have not been able to add my work exchange email. I am using the default email application. I have modified the the server settings, turned on remote wipe, made sure auto sync was on, and even factory restored it. Was there any tips anyone has for me or any solutions to get this to work.
Other things to note my coworkers original nexus 7 works perfectly with it, many other devices like iPhone and such can access it and my old 2.3 ginger bread phone can access it.
Thanks!
What kind of error, if any, are you getting? I currently have 2 different Exchange accounts running. One hosted by Office 365 (2013 maybe?) and one Exchange 2010 hosted a client's office. Both connected just fine.
Can you provide the settings that you're using for troubleshooting purposes?
You have to add a corporate account for Exchange or Hotmail/Outlook.com.
Hi everyone!
No matter how many times I try I can't get my g3 to connect to my work exchange email account.
I'm 100% sure all the info is correct. Works fine on my galaxy s4.
Anyone else having this issue? Might be a deal breaker for me if I can't get this working.

I just got a G3 today and had the same issue trying to setup my corporate email account. It looks like the email client is broken.
I downloaded "MailWise" from the play store and was up and running in a few minutes. I don't like having to use an additional email client, but at least it works.
Turns out my problem was related to my being an admin account on the exchange server. Had to enable permissions inheritance ok my account. Works now.

Oddly enough I tried it again this morning and it worked for me. I don't why I kept failing yesterday.
Exchange issues...
Hi all,
I got a very similar issue: I got my frame repaired (LG G3 case broke at microphone hole) with some potential upgrade to the latest software. Since then I can't access my exchange server anymore through the "built-in" email program! Access is still easy through all of my other devices (S3, Note 10.1)...
Only solution I found: The "Nine" app works very nicely (14 days free, US$9.99 therafter) and easily connects to the exachange server and leads to synchronization of emails, contacs, calendar, notes and tasks! So the problem lies within the Android 4.4.2 email program!
Let's cross fingers that Google is addressing / solving that issue soon!
Best regards, UP

Have you manually updated to the latest Google exchange apk? It's available in this post regarding the new Gmail 5.0 and Exchange 5.0 apks. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-support-material-design-landed-apk-download/
Keep in mind that there is an ever newer version of the Gmail 5.0 apk that has been released, so double check your version number before updating that specific apk. But the exchange apk is the latest that has been released.
These updates have allowed me to connect to my work's Exchange server through gmail. So not only does the exchange connection seem to be working, the gmail app has been updated to allow these types of accounts to be added. It's nice to have one gmail interface where I can access all my gmail and exchange (and Imap, pop, etc) email accounts.

Hi,
I updated the email and the exchange APK files - all POP/IMAP access works fine but the exchange server is not reachable (it is, however, reachable via the browser app) - so I am still locked into the NINE app that works pretty nicely (I wonder why Google is not able to provide a similarly easy and functional app...).
Best, UP
