Dear friends please help.
I signed up for trial account (pro) at 4smartphone.net to get benefit of pushemail. Everythings was fine during the process and I downloaded setupfile at my jasjar (through sms) but afer running the file it always gives me following sms error
"system notification" - change of device settings is unsuccessful/
I am sure many of us are using this facility very nicely and I must be making some mistake.
Can any one help me or define the whole (step by step) process to setup pushemail from 4smartphone.net like.,
setting email accounts to server settings.
It would be once for all help for pushmail issues.
Regards

You have to configure exchange in activesync in the pda or on the pc .
in your profile on the 4smartphone webpage, go to "Mobile Setup:Review and Upload your mobile setup"

Done it. It works!
I've set up mail forwarding from my belfast-biker.com domain to the 4smartphone one, it sync beautifully, BUT...!
It syncs lovely between OWA (I think that's it, the web-based Outlook thing) and the Exec, but there seems no link with my normal Outlook, and I'm sure there should be.
Also, when I receive emails, they go to my device, and my OWN, but not to my normal Outlook anymore, I'm sure it's coz I've failed to establish a link I should have done.... any help?
I think you want to configure your outlook on the destop :
I give you a copy of the mail I receive from technical support :
Thank you for using 4Smartphone.
Here is a step by step we found to be good:
http://www.petri.co.il/configure_outlook_2003_to_use_rpc_over_http.htm
Information specific to 4SmartPhone:
Profile Name = Your login ([email protected])
You need to check [x] Use Cached Exchange Mode
Microsoft Exchange Server = SNSHBEA107.4smartphone.snx (Instead of zeus)
User Name = your mail again(Instead of daniel)
RPCProxyServer = secure.4smartphone.net (instead of zeus.dpetri.local)
You need to check [x] Mutually authenticate the session when connecting with SSL
RPCProxyPrincipalName = msstd:secure.4smartphone.net
Your user login will be : the mail for your account
And your password is the one you provided at account creation
Please do not hesitate to contact us again if necessary.
Best regards,
Also, you must have outlook 2003 on your desktop - I initially made the mistake of thinking outlook XP was OK - it is not - 4smartphone offer outlook 2003 for free on their site
(PS sorry if this is a "granny to suck eggs" type post, but I made the mistake and know of at least one other who did the same thing.
Because O2 starts charging the 0845 and 0844 number, I had cancelled my o2 contract, and changed to Pay And Go.
But the previous GPRS setting prevents me to get access to the internet. After I hard-reset the O2 WM6 system, and run the O2 Operator Settings, still no luck.
I quite sure that my number can access to GPRS system, as I received a txt from O2 saying that I have 5M browsing allowance this month.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks !!!
You can't browse the internet on O2 Pay as you go. The only company that allows it on PAYG is Orange as far as I know.
you should be able to go on the internet on any network, payg or contract... it just usually costs a lot on payg.

I thought so too, but just not able to get around it, yet.......
what carphead said in effect is correct "You can't browse the internet on O2 Pay as you go. The only company that allows it on PAYG is Orange as far as I know."
with O2 PayAsYouGo and xda's, pda's whatever you wana call them, you cannot access the worldwide web. you can access wap sites, i.e. wap.google.com, but you have to put WSP:// instead of http://. for example WSP://wap.google.com. by entering wsp:// it then uses the wap connection which is under My Work Network in connection settings and not the mobile web connection under My ISP. the problem is there isn't that many wap sites you can access with the XDA's.

i can view normal websites... but sometimes the site realises i'm on a mobile, and automatically forwards to their mobile version. for example www.google.co.uk automatically forwards to www.google.co.uk/m
it can be done

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
gprs settings
Thanks Mate you are a life saver i have been looking for them all over
I'm glad to be of assistance. I've always been a eager reader on these forums and it's nice to post something thats helpfull. It only took me around an hour a half to get these settings working! I needed them myself so i could use my O2 payg sim in my Orbit, and being without gprs was getting annoying so had to get it working. And so I did. It all seems a bit complicated but all the steps are nessesary. And I am still trying to find out if outlook can be made to work.
Anyway cheers all

I don't know, mate. But from the settings above, I doubt that you can use Outlook, though I very much like to able to use it too. Becoz from the settings above, you route the internet though a proxy, and outlook itself use a different port which hasn't set in the proxy.
Those settings work for Exchange Activesync too
Good work there, sir.
On a WM6 Pocket PC (sorry - "Professional") I applied the settings you provided, killed the wifi radio and did a send/receive in Pocket Outlook.
It worked. So much for O2's odd attempts to push data users into the contract world.
So, thank you very much. Kudos.
is Outlook part of the Office set of programs... i havent got it on mine, but it would be very useful
Pocket Outlook = Standard Windows Mobile Email client
Sorry, I was using an archaic term there.
What I meant was setting up an Exchange ActiveSync partnership between my Exchange server and my Windows Mobile device, using the built-in bog-standard Microsoft messaging app.
I'd just like to say a huge thanks to kosborn2 for posting those 02 settings, I'd been resigned to being unable to have GPRS on my 02 Exec because I'm a lowly Pay as You Go customer! Every now and again I'd have a quick look on the internet but it was usually the same wrong settings. Well done that man, you've made my day.
From experience o2 do try and restrict some pag customer to some sites a trick work round o2s restrictions and save time and data usage is on you pc (not ppc) right mouse click on the part of the page you want to view i.e. http://charts.moneyam.com/Chart.asp...SV=0&YFormat=g&XFormat=hh&Fix=1&E=UK&Code=UKX
Save to ppc favorites and it should work
Magic!
I've put a PaG O2 card in my old Himalaya (flashed to WM5) with my contract card in my Artemis, and now my wife can use it for GPRS thanks to thoose settings.
Thanks very much
thanks a lot for the settings, this is the only place i could find these settings, o2's website is no help whatsoever. without wanting to hijack the thread have u ever got mms working? i upgraded windows mobile and dont have the o2 active add on bits so i was wondering how i could send/recieve mms? thanks a lot again.
i getting an error message all of sudden
The following errors occurred while sending and receiving messages:
The message(s) cannot be sent. Be certain that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct and then try again.
Any ideas why i'm getting this??
i believe its on googles side. they just rolled out a new version of gmail and ive even had some issues with webmail as well as my phone not being able to connect
its been a couple of days, will this issue be fixed or will i have to use something else..
no idea..i dont work for google.
Works fine for me now (GMail).
Is your gmail set up to check via IMAP or POP3? Mine's set for IMAP and I haven't had any trouble sending or receiving gmail since I set it up. I ask coz it might be a problem with Google's POP servers.
I am running IMAP on Gmail and appear to have no issues.
im running IMAP
and still having the issues.

Make sure that you have both "Outgoing server requires authent.." and "use the same name and password for sending..." checked.
I would assume username and password are correct? That you have the "save password" checked?
Can you receive just fine? Just not send correctly, right?
doesn't the username have to be something like " recent: [email protected]" or is that for pop3 only?
yea, i can receive correctly just not send
all my settings are correct
should i just delete and redo?
Gmail, non responsive
I had trouble getting Gmail to work too...
Did the renaming work-around, settings all looked good, but it ended up working for me by:
switch to "Work" instead of "The Internet"
in the "Advanced Server Settings"
on the "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server:" page

Was this required to get it to work with GPRS/EDGE? I think mine only works with Wifi, so I'm thinking this may be my issue.

Hi all new here and got question regarding my new TP2, Im trying to setup my TP2 to sync with exchange but can not get it to work. I already inputted the username, password, domain, and also the OWA access information. My work's OWA address goes like this www.myjobaddress.com/extension , But after trying to sync it and when I check again it would just show www.myjobaddress.com without the "extension."
Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks all in advance
yeah your server name in activesync shouldnt have the "extension". An Exchange server is an exchange server - with a FQDN: owa is a website residing at an addresss - sometimes with path after server name, not always, depends on the admin and the complexity of the setup.
i know that my owa address is waay diff than my activesync, etc server name.
Your admin or 3rd party provider should be able to give you a little config util that will setup your device properly, usually downloadable from a formatted txt msg. Or if you have access to your personal exchange control panel you should be able to get it from there - at the very least the correct info.
Hope this helps a little...
From what I've seen the OWA setup follows the standard as such webmail.company.com
It's been the same format in all the jobs I've had that had OWA access.
The other thing you can do is use Google Chrome, enter your OWA address then once it connects, on the new page that opens you can see the URL. It'll start with the format above.
The other thing you'll need is the domain name. And at times, that domain isn't the same as the company name. So you need to ask your Exchange admin.
All of this of course assumes your company is on Exchange 5.5 or 2007. If not you're not going to be able to get push email.
Thanks for the replies guys....I was able to get it to work. What I did was explicitly input this address "http://www.comanyname.com/exchange"
then just re-entered my username, password and domain. I had username in this format earlier "domain\username", I just removed the "domain" and entered just the username and it started syncing.
Thanks again guys
I can't get my exchange setup and am really wanting to find a way to at least get (don't need to respond even... just view).
I have all my info the phone asks for for exchange, but I get the following message when it trys to connect:
Your Microsoft Exchange Server account does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your Exchange Server administrator.

I've also tried setting up a rule in outlook to forward all incoming mail to a gmail account and that's not working either.
Are there any other options I have here? Corporate won't even talk to me (I tried) because they support ONLY phones they provide and they didn't provide this one (they're blackberry fanboys).
I used to have a blackberry (not one they provided) and could get email fine on it through BIS. Is there anything like BIS for phones other than BB? Something where you set up an exchange account online with the service and they then forward the mail to your phone or something?
I was able to setup my Exchange support no sweat. This is the first android device available in the US that can handle the harsh security policies set forth by my company. Works great.
You need to make sure you have the following info:
Account name
Password
Domain
Email Address
Server <this may be your issue>
whether or not they support SSL
The server is most likely not "yourcompany.com". For example my company uses "webmail.yourcompany.com". Secondly, your account name should be the same as your email address with the "@yourcompany.com" part. Its possible for it to be different. You should be able to get the domain name from your corporate PC/Laptop. aside from that, just try with the SSL option. If that fails try it again without.

BIS is different than Exchange, it connects to Exchange but does it's own thing with email, calendar, etc..
If you have never connected to your Exchange server using ActiveSync, it would need to be configured on the Exchange server.
The forwarding is also an Exchange server side configuration that the "fanboys" would need to setup.
I know you can have gmail check email on an external account, did you try configuring that?
okay... so if you don't mine i'll post the info you're saying i need with what i think the information is based on what i'm pulling from my outlook on my work computer. i'll change the info though to keep things secure. this is what i'm asked for when i try to create the account and what i'm entering:
email address: firstname.lastnameATcompanyDOTcom
server address: two options here and i've tried both. the first is listed as the microsoft exchange server on the first window that comes up when i select the account: letters-letter22.ab.lettersDOTnet the second is listed under more settings > connection > exchange proxy settings: ab.lettersDOTcom
domain name: i'm not sure of this one but figured it was one of two things. the first would be what i type in before my username when logging in: ab-letters (so when i log in i type (ab-letters\username). the second would be the url for the OWA option which is: companymailDOTcom
username: again, i've tried two options one is just my username and the other is my full login as needed when logging into outlook or OWA (ab-letters\username).
password: password
and i've tried with both the ssl box checked and not checked.
that said, what am i missing or entering wrong? thanks for the help!

i tried the gmail option. said the server didn't allow for pop access.
use the address you use to access webmail. usually it's
owa.company.com
webmail.company.com
mail.company.com
if they don't allow MS ActiveSync I don't know what you can do.
if POP or IMAP is not an option, and the forward is not working (most companies don't allow that as a data leakage prevention) there is little to nothing you can do.
just weird they don't allow ActiveSync. you would read emails out of the office and become more efficient. very bad business policy.
when i log into OWA... the address is:
h t t p s :// w w w .companymail.com/OWA/
(sorry for the spacing... won't let me post urls)
will that not work?

Your Email:firstname.lastnameATcompanyDOTcom
Your Server: companymailDOTcom <-- most likely your OWA server
Yoru Domain: ab-letters <--- from ab-letters\username
Accountname: username <-- from username
password: password
That should be enough. Of coarse try the SSL option both ways.
Here.. When we deployed our exchange server this is how we setup the server.
The main 2 things you need to know is email server and active directory domain. For this example ill use:
Email Server: mail.company.com
Domain: company.com
So..
Email: [email protected]
Server: mail.company.com
Domain: company.com (in some cases, it can be left blank)
Username: myname
Password: pass
Depending on how things are configure, sometimes you may need to use company\myname as the username, but most times not.
Also, as I mentioned before.. It really depends on how things are setup. If the server admins don't allow activesync, your out of luck. Also, things like hub transport servers in the mix can effect how email is accessed as well. If your admins can't give you the info you need for this... Um, perhaps they need to find other work.

By domain, it looking for your PDC (Primary Domain Controller). Not your companies URL domain unless you somehow named your internal PDC the same thing.
This would be the part that he types just before his username during his authentication sessions.
Let us know how you fair.
tried every suggestion offered here. sadly, no dice. i get the same security warning i mentioned in my first email. given that my previous BB was NOT issues by corporate yet i was able to retrieve work email fine (through BIS of course), i can only assume that they've somehow managed to set up the system so that it doesn't work with anything other than BIS or BES.
looking for any other possible solutions/alternatives. as i mentioned before, the whole forwarding thing didn't work so unless there's another way, gmail isn't even an option. any thoughts?
All out of ideas for getting email and events pushed to your phone. You can use the HTC Sync App and do it at the desktop. Also the OWA client works great in the web browser.
Lastly, you can escalate internally, but I'd recommend writing up a small business case to demonstrate the benefits before you do so. They did that in my company and that got use away from having to use Good Link.
If you can get your exchange administrator to agree to allow Activesync connections for retrieving mail, you could use an app like Nitrodesk's Touchdown v5 (for 2.0 and above).
Been using it on my Droid and it's stable and reliable if a bit choppy when swapping inbox folders.
Hope that helps.

ya. i tried that one too just in case to i knew for certain it was on their end and not something with the phone. nice program.
sadly... no help. there's no way i'm going to convince them to do anything different than what they're doing now. when i say i work for a corporation, i mean i work for a CORPORATION. LOL. it's frikin huge with tons of employees, all over the world. that makes me a tiny little bug. LOL. when i made my call to IT they wouldn't even talk to me about anything email-cellphone related since i'm not high enough to even be considered for a corporate issued BB. LOL.
i do have one more chance. i can't remember what options are available in BIS, but my wife is going to take over my storm1 now that i have the new incredible. we're going in today to make the swap. my hope is that i can set my work email up in BIS as i did before but then auto forward it to a gmail account from within BIS. will be nice if i'm able to do this though it's still stupid that they don't let their frontline workers have access from their personal cellphones.
well, i made a bit of progress today. i still haven't connected yet, but after adding my account to BIS i was able to view the email server it uses to connect to the exchange server which is different from the one i was using before.
that said, i'm not getting that security msg i was getting before. now, though, i keep getting a message saying i can't be authenticated. i've tried lots of different options for the username to see if i could get in with no luck. any thoughts? i feel like i'm closer... but still so far away. thanks for the help!

If you can get your exchange administrator to agree to allow Activesync connections for retrieving mail, you could use an app like Nitrodesk's Touchdown v5 (for 2.0 and above).

Personally, I like the one built in to incredible more than the touch down app. I can see it all using the HTC widgets in Sense. Its very nice.
found a work around i thought i'd share. it's not great by any means, but it lets me view work email on my phone.
i setup a seperate gmail account just for work. then in outlook on my work computer i added the gmail account as an imap. then i created a rule to copy all incoming mail to the gmail inbox folder in outlook. this then syncs (obviously) with the gmail account and i pull the gmail to the phone through the native gmail app. it requires me leaving my computer at work on 24/7 but it's the only solution i could come up with for the time being.
Can anyone confirm if the incredible deals with the issues raised in this post ? code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4475 e.g. remote wipe/Simple Pin request etc?
Thanks.
