EXCHANGE ISSUE: Failed to create the account. Please try again later

Any one know how to force a simple pin on EVO 4g manually. I am unable to sync with my exchange server, as EVO 4g is not supporting PIN and not prompted me for the pin option either. I had everything working fine but after doing hardreset i am unable to sync with my exchange server.
Has any else seeing this issue?
Thanks,
KITO

My wife received the same error when setting up her exchange account. Her company also requires a security pin.
The interim solution for her was to download Exchange for 2.0 by Touchdown. It seems to have ignored the security pin requirement , though the interface is a little hard to work with. K-9 didn't work either. Haven't tried Moxier, yet.
Her old Hero with Fresh 2.1.1 (Android 2.1) was able to sync with her exchange account and configure a security pin. I wonder if the htc mail application from that rom would run under the htc framework on the evo?

Same exact issue after a hard reset!!!!
This is not an exchange issue, it is an HTC issue with activesync. Try to use the ActiveSync parameters to log into gmail. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
It doesn't work!!! This SUCKS!

Thanks for the tip. We tried going through the process again in case we were in the same situation as you (several times in fact), but no luck. We even tried setting up her exchange account using htc mail on my phone (we both have Evo's). It did not work on either of our Evo's.
I think it is unlikely that her exchange provider is at fault, since they created exchange. Does your exchange provider require a security pin?
At least there are 3rd party exchange apps that work well.

Failed to create the account. Please try again later
If anyone got this error and make it it work please post the resolution. This works for me one time but after I reset the device it didn't work :-(

I am having the same issue.. Nothing works, not even touchdown. I can see in Touchdown that simple pin is being requested, but there is no way that I have found to set it up. I *think* this is why it is balking.

same error here...any1 know how to fix???

My company upgraded to exchange 2010 and now my EVO won't sync. Getting "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
It was working just fine before they upgraded from Exchange 2007.

so i got past the account name screen what i did is i just replaced the mail.apk thats in system/app on my EVO 4G with another one from a rom i had in my hard drive
copy attached mail.apk to sdcard root
open ES explorer and go to settings to enable root explorer and file system
go to mail.apk in sdcard and hold tap to edit then copy
now go to system/app and find mail.apk thats already installed, hold and rename to mail.bak (or whatever)
then just tap and hold to copy the new mail.apk and reboot
it worked for me.. hope it works for you

The universal fix for the "Failed to create the account please try again later" while adding exchange server on android roms is
1) Add your account in Settings -> Accounts & Sync
2) In the second last step, uncheck all three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
3) Finish the configuration and your account should get created
4) Click on the created account and check back the three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
Hope this help you - I discovered this by chance and it works all the time.

DUDE big up on this I was having a damn tough time figuring this out on my exchange server and its a complex environment

I know this is a old thread but the above did not work .
We had to recreate a user on our Active Directory and Exchange 2010 and when we wiped his HTC Wildfire we cannot setup the exchange account. Keep saying it cannot create the account.
Anybody got any clue all?

[RESOLVED][Q] Unable to add a Google account - A long story [Edit hosts file]

So it started a couple of days ago when I noticed that my Google Maps is not downloading data at all. Google Maps used to be my great companion while trying to know my way around in a new place. I used to mark places and do what not. So, when it stopped working on mobile data, I thought let me wait till I connect to WiFi and fix whatever is bothering it. But no, it didn’t work.
I noticed in Accounts and Sync that my Google account is not in sync any longer. I try but the last sync time/date stays unchanged no matter how I try: WiFi, mobile data, internet pass-through. It just does not sync. Assuming it to be a problem with my Google account, I fire up my laptop and type my credentials on Gmail. Behold! After a wait of more than usual time, I see that my browser cant find the page. I leave the tab open, and try to enter Gmail and I am in. No glitch. I sign out and try again. Same thing: it never logs in when I hit Sign In button. I link this issue to my phone sync and forgot it. Since I work (and live too) in China, it was safe to assume that Google is under heat.
I sync my other personal Gmail account with Windows Live Mail. I noticed that I can login to my personal account (web browser on a laptop) effortlessly. When I try my other Google account on my laptop (account I use with Android), it does not log me in. I work-around it and change my password. I tried to log in but same problem.
I go to my phone assuming it will ask me for a password change, IT DOESN’T. I just doesn’t sync. I try to remove my account from Android to add it again but IT WONT DELETE or be modified. Every time I try to add a new Google account, I get the message: “Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server” on WiFi, Mobile Data, Internet Pass-through. Nothing works and all bring up the same message. I get pissed off. So then on, I spend two days doing all this ****:
1. Create a new Gmail account and try to add a secondary account on my DHD: FAILED
2. Delete the which-was-working-earlier-account from Google (laptop) and try to sync Android: FAILED
3. Try to add account in MARKET, GMAIL and GTALK Apps: FAILED
Being a happy to go flasher and happy with RCMix Runny 1.3, I get really serious:
4. Wipe using recovery and restore to month old RCMix Bliss 1.3 nandroid backup. FAILED to sync with deleted Google account. Does not ask for change of anything. Just connection reliability error. Add new Google account: FAILED.
5. FULL WIPE and reinstall RCMix Runny 1.5. New setup. Add newly created working Google account during setup: FAILED
6. Try step 4 again after double wipe and everything. FAILED
7. Download ‘Revolution Super Wiper’ and wipe DHD twice. Install RCMix Runny 1.5. Try to add Google account: FAILED
8. Wipe with Super Wipe and install ARHD 6.1.2. Add new Google account: FAILED
9. Super Wipe, almost format SD Card, install ARHD 6.1.2 without SIM card Add Google account: FAILED
10. Give up and rant here in the forum.
Here is what works:
1. I CAN add a Google/Hotmail account in MAIL app. Everything works fine. No issues whatsoever.
2. I am connected on WiFi, Data Connection, Internet Pass-through. Checked and verified. No internet connection issues whatsoever.
Here is what I cannot try:
1. Use the Youtube workaround mentioned almost everywhere: though I did try to fire up the Youtube App.
It leaves very little to guess: if I can write about this for 10 straight minutes, I have ‘wasted’ a lot of my time trying to look for a fix and trying to fix this issue. I may be missing something terribly stupid or something really is wrong.
Who can help?
RESOLVED:
Updated the host file with a line :
74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
and I am through adding my new Google account.

Thank you so much... After reading a lot on web, n wasting my whole 2 days i finally got the solution.. I had to root my phone, but that was nothing to solve this problem.. thanks a lot...

I wonder what caused the issue in the first place.
This shouldn't happen by default, but I'm glad you found a workaround and I'm sure a lot of folks will find it useful.
Cheers

[Q] dropbox setup on titanium backup

I'm not seeing this feature work. I've enabled it but nothing is happening on the dropbox side.
Not seeing much help on titanium's Site. Tried support, but no answer yet.
Anyone walk me through it?

Install the Dropbox app, log in.
Open TiBu, menu/preferences/sync to Dropbox (selectthis), set any options you want for Dropbox.
Back to main TiBu screen. Schedules tab, should see the Dropbox option. Run it. Should be prompted to sign in or register for Dropbox. If you logged into the app, select login and allow the token. One thing i noticed is that it would cancel out after a few minutes using the TiBu folder from my external sd. Using internal it worked fine.

and FWIW, I have found DropBox to be a bit faster and more reliable than GoogleDrive, which was a bit of a shocker.

[Q] Samsung Account Stopped Syncing

For the past 7 days I've been unable to sync my Samsung account and receive the following message in settings: 'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.' Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to get it syncing again?
Thanks in advance

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317

This solution seems to have worked, thank you. Before I removed my account, I did a full backup via Kies. I realised removing my Samsung account deleted my S Notes, so I tried to restore them from my backup, but after a 'successful' restore, half of my notes are missing.

The notes that are missing were in a folder named 'Notes.' I tried to create a new 'Notes' folder, but apparently this folder name is already in use. Searching for the folder brings up no matches, so where is it?!

Upon further investigation, all my missing notes and memos are still in my S Note directory, but for some strange reason they're not showing up in the app. Any ideas?

Can't log into Google from HTC 10

Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.
