E-mail App - Force Closing Frustration - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey Gang,
Seeing if anyone has seen any issues with their Epic Touch around the Email app force closing. I had setup my Exchange e-mail, and it worked perfectly fine from last night to this morning, then I've had a ton of issues. I also added an AOL e-mail to it. I've removed/added it 3 times now, rebooted my phone, and performed a factory data reset twice. It works sometimes, but 90% of the time it force closes.
Any suggestions?

Bumping this thread. I have swapped to new hardware, and same thing. I fear it may be something screwy with Samsung's software. I thought it was my exchange e-mail, but after just adding an AOL account, it gave me the same problems.
Does anyone know if rooting this, or going around the default Samsung e-mail work? I have used K-9 & Touchdown, but I shouldn't have to download programs to get this working.

[Q] Phone won't log into E-mail account

Just recently my phone is getting hung up when trying to download my e-mail. It can't log on, then it won't disconnect. I've tried a hard reset and still no luck. I'm connecting to a g-mail account. I've been running the same ROM for over a yr and haven't had any issues until just this week. Any one else out there have an issue with this?
Looks like this is a Google problem. They're researching it. Read about it here.
The word is if you disable automatic send/receive and manual download instead, it should work.
However, I'm in the process of trying this now, and it's doing the same thing.
thanks, I just set-up a yahoo account and it's working good. Guess I'll push my e-mail that way until they get it figured out.

"Word" isn't entirely correct... my phone still hangs at login stage even after a hard reboot. Switching to POP access from IMAP looks more promising.
Neither worked for me, so if it works for you, you're one step ahead.
A fix for another problem seems to have fixed the problem for those who started experiencing the hanging since May 19th.
Google is still in the process of confirming whether this fix is officially *the* fix for mobile Gmail.
I can confirm on my phone that Gmail (at least manual send/receive) is now working again. I just switched back to automatic send/receive to see if that works as well.
Hi do not know if these were witnessed feel that your phone so me and my other friends was what happened to us

It would be my guess we all experienced the same thing... someone at gmail goofed. Wasn't limited to any one device or carrier. They seem to have fixed it now, mine's been working fine since the day after my last post.
Searching the internet I found something on a topic also called the sleep of death occurred only for the HTC Touch Pro 2 which had the Windows Mobile 6.5 version will leave the link in case you want to see.

Email Problem, Quits Working Without Warning

Email has always worked perfect up until the last few days. It will randomly stop syncing and I have to power it off and back on for it to fix the problem. Everything looks normal. It will not send or receive though.
Everything else seems to work except the email. It's already caused me quite a few problems with not getting messages in a timely manner.
Any thoughts.
I have experienced the same problem also... i kept wondering for few days why i am not getting any emails and than one day my battery died so when i rebooted i the phone my inbox got tons of emails from few days back... i wish to know the answer too
What email are you trying to sync? Hotmail?

hotmail and yahoo... both got backed up for few days... any ideas?
I'm experiencing the same for Gmail. Anybody know of a fix?

I'm having the same, or a similar, issue with Exchange mail. Randomly it won't bother to sync it on push until I open up the mail app. All my Gmail works fine, just this.
I may have found the problem. I took off my live wallpaper yesterday and put a standard one back on and my email hasnt quit working since.
I had the 3D Hyperspace Live Wallpaper, which I really like and hate to lose. I'm still monitoring it but I lost email pretty frequently until I went back to the standard wallpaper so there's a good chance thats the problem.
I'll update with results.
Some more info on my problem and my phone:
I have four yahoo email accounts and one gmail account. My yahoo accounts would stop syncing and nothing you could do would refresh them. Nothing would make them sync other than turning the phone off and back on.
My phone is rooted with sfhubs root which has worked flawlessly so far. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Well I noticed my Hotmail stopped syncing around the time they made the official Hotmail app. I thought it maybe something on Hotmail side of things not allowing it to work but I guess not. I am not rooted and am all stock but the official Hotmail app works great so I just said forget the other one. Let me know if anyone finds a fix.

My gut feeling is that it stopped syncing because i was " clearing memory" from that inbuilt Samsung task manger... since i stopped using "clear memory" the email seems to sync properly ... maybe i am wrong ... i don't know...
Update:
It's been three days since I took the live wallpaper off. I had no problems for three days...
Until this morning. Email hadnt synced since last night. I had to reboot the phone and the emails came rolling in.
I'm going to put the live wallpaper back on and see how it reacts.

[Q] k9mail push (imap idle) inconsistent

I am having some weird issues with k9mail client with push mail not working consistently. Does anyone else have this problem?
Random times during the day, mails do not get pushed to me. I can't really discern a particular pattern of when it works and when it doesn't so I haven't been able to "reproduce" the problem at will. I've also turned on debugging and have been looking at the logs via aLogCat.
For Example
Let's say I start watching the logs at 1:00pm and this was the last time anything was logged by k9mail. Then I get an email to one of my accounts at 1:10pm (I found out via desktop mail client) but this mail does not get pushed to me so I don't get notified and k9mail is still not logging anything so there's no activity by the mail client.
1:25pm comes around, which is over the 24 minute imap idle refresh time configured but I still don't see any mails being pushed to me.
Sometimes the mail finally gets pushed, sometimes it doesn't get pushed for over an hour.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
I am currently confined to using k9mail because it allows me to reply to emails received at one account with another account without using gmail's "Send As" feature.
Thanks!

At the times you're expecting the mail to push through, is your phone on or idle? Do you notice any discernible difference between the two?

Yes, the phone is on but it doesn't seem to matter if it is on (screen on) or idle (screen off).
This would be the sequence of events:
1) The phone is on but screen off (idling)
2) I notice that I received an email through my desktop PC
3) Look at my phone, LED is not blinking so it has not been pushed the email
4) I turn the screen on and unlock it, still is not pushed
5) I opened up the k9mail app, still not pushed
At this point, I can turn the screen back off and eventually I would get notified but when this problem is occurring, it takes too long for the mail to get pushed to me and this problem really defeats the purpose of push mail.
Thanks for the reply!

Seems like you're not the only one with this issue. I would completely remove the application, wipe cache on the phone in recovery (power + volume up if not rooted), reinstall and set it back up. If that doesn't fix push, set it to poll every 5 minutes.

I've definitely seen reports of this issue. Really not sure if it's the OS, phone, or k9mail.
Here's a k9mail bug that was reported that I added onto with logs:
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=3847
If anyone else is having the same issues, please add a comment so that it get some more attention.
Could this be the same issue described in detail here?
code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=4347
This issue has recently appeared on my phone as well. I had been using K9 for my work email for over a year on my Evo 4G without any problems. About two months ago I picked up a Samsung SG3 (Sprint) and installed K9 on there as well, with no problems whatsoever. All of a sudden around September 5th, I started noticing that I would get my desktop notifications before my phone would receive my emails, which I couldn't recall ever happening in the entire time I had been using K9. I had not make any network changes, system changes, or anything like that. It just stopped working as it normally did one day.
Long story short, I've been having the same issue as you described in the OP. I've tried installing and uninstalling multiple versions of K9 (4.119, 4.200, 4.201, 4.304, 4.306) with the same results.
My work email is hosted by GoDaddy (yes, they are terrible) and as you can expect, I tried getting some support from them and they said that everything was working as it should. I've also tried sending the K9 devs a few emails regarding the issue along with a bunch of catlogs, but not one of them has responded to me. Oh well, it was a great app when it was working.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I had tried setting up 3 different imap email accounts on K9, my work account hosted by GoDaddy, a Gmail account, and a Yahoo account. The Yahoo and Gmail ones pushed emails immediately, whereas the work one would only push at the "refresh idle connection" intervals.

[Q] Email app eating battery

Hello
The last few days my email application has been acting up.
Seems like it is on constant sync and using battery like a madman.
I have used it on push on my exchange-mail for nearly two months now without a problem. But a few days ago i started seeing the sync icon in my taskbar all the time.
I have tried adjusting the syncing times to much lower intervals but still uses battery like a madman.
Any good suggestions how to solve this?
(Cant post image due to low postcount, but it has a 40% hog of the battery)
I remember this happening every now and then when I used the HTC Mail app. I'm assuming that's the one you mean? It has a few quirks.
What I found stopped it was force-stopping the app, clearing cache and rebooting. If that doesn't work clear data too, but you'll have to set your e-mail account back up.
I have the same problem when I'm on Wi-Fi in the office. I thinks it can't connect to the mail server due to the firewall and just keeps on trying to connect. Albeit not the ideal workaround, switching off Wi-Fi and using 3G/H for a couple of seconds usually works.
this happened on mine a few weeks back, i cleared the cache and data then restarted the phone input my email address back in and all was fine

[Q] Push Gmail Delay and Random Reboots. Help?

Hi everyone,
I have a new issue for you guys and maybe you can help me. I cannot find any information on my push delay issue. I am wondering if it might be related to random reboots and whether I should return my device for another. Anyway I have a very large delay with gmail push notifications. My galaxy s3 instantly gets emails when they arrive, but my nexus 7 can take anywhere between 10mins to 30mins to get that same email. Same with marking it as read if I have seen it on my phone. It happens whether it is sleeping or screen on and wifi connected the whole time. I can be browsing the web and my push email will not come. Is anyone experiencing this issue with theirs? As I am typing this my nexus has still not seen an email that came in 15 minutes ago to my nexus - Last gmail sync was 20 minutes ago with screen on and off periodically.
I am updated to JSS15Q and am not ready to root the device yet. My SGS3 is on PA 3.99 and works flawlessly with push. On another note, I am getting random reboots during sleep or use - just like many other people as well who have returned their devices to get one that doesn't do it. It is very annoying - considering returning the device soon, but I've already installed a bunch of things on it.
Thanks for the help!
Edit, it has now been over 12 hours and Gmail has not synchronized. It shows yesterday afternoon as last time of sync, while the account itself shows synced in the morning. The only things that synced in the morning are calendar and app data. 12 hours later I have like 15 new emails on my phone and Asus transformer, but nothing on the nexus. All sync is on in Gmail and settings. Wifi was on the entire night and I was downloading something too overnight, which finished. I kept the screen on all night so the tablet couldn't sleep. No emails. Any ideas?
Regarding Gmail: did you try removing the account and setting it up again?

Thanks for the reply. It seems I have somehow sorted out the issues. For fixing gmail, I did a factory reset and just put everything back on as well as all of my gmail accounts. Seems to be working with push ever since! However, I still had random reboots. I seemed to notice that they happened mostly when I was using chrome beta, so I froze chrome beta and started using chrome. No reboots for 209 hours and 40 minutes now! Going strong although I shall *knock on wood*. So if anyone else has either of these issues I recommend trying to remove chrome beta as it fixed reboots for me and possibly also doing a factory reset - even battery life improved after that with same apps reinstalled.
