googlemail seems to have stopped working , im on a unlocked desire on 3uk
worked fine yesterday , ive sent test emails and it doesnt push ???
Are you using active sync? If so I had the same issue. mail would remain refreshing almost forever and the device would get really hot after a while. a few factory resets didn't resolve the problem either. I had to switch to using the google mail application (not HTC mail) and deleted my active sync account from the phone.
Push stopped working for me around midday. Its working again now though.
Hi there,
although i told to check every 15 Minutes the phone doesn´t check for new mail.
Running Android 4.0.2 with the build in Email programm. It is an Imap account.
How can i force my phone to have the Mails checked?
Thanks in advance.
It's IMAP, mail is pushed from the other side.

Thats wrong:
IMAP doesnt mean its push mail (that ist P-IMAP which the original poster didnt mentioned directly)
IMAP means all Mails are on the mail-server and managed there, even folder. THe advantage of imap is that the mails are stored at one place but can be managed from different clients.
That doesn´t solve the problem of not syncing. But perhaps someone else do have an idea? As i have the same problem here.

I just found out that other mailclient (i have tried k9 so far) have the ability to check imap in user defined intervals.
So you have to try another mail client...

IMAP works for me with the built in e-mail client. I have it syncing to my school's outlook express account (.edu address). I have it syncing every 15min and after some messing with the settings/certificates I have sending working as well.
If I had to offer advice I'd say that you should double check your incoming/outgoing server settings and the appropriate certificates/logins are set up.

I gave up on the native email apps a long time ago. I've been using the Gmail app for all my accounts for over 2 years now: http://www.androidcentral.com/using-gmail-your-own-personal-push-mail-server
good luck
BTW, it will probably save you some battery power too.
Hi,
yes the k9 mailer fits my needs. Works fine so far.
Perhaps i´ll try gmail as well.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Jelly Bean, I can't get the stock calendar app to sync with my exchange account... It did work just fine with ICS 4.0.4 stock calendar, as well as with Touchdown. With JB, I have not been able to get it working with stock calendar... but it does work with Touchdown.
Under settings in the calendar stock app, I see the following entries:
- General settings
- my exchange account
- my gmail account
- About Calendar
When I click on the exchange account, it says " no calendar".
I thought it might have been an issue with the way I restored the account from TB. I restarted from scratch, same problem. Did several factory resets, same. Thought it could have been a bad flash, now I have flashed 4.1.1 and still the exact same problem...
I really don't see anymore what can be causing this. It is my only problem with JB which otherwise is just great...
Any suggestion on where the problem could come from?
Thank you.
Ah, strange. I just thought that I'd acticate "automatic push" mode, and guess what, my calendar items showed up in the stock calendar app...
I have always had my exchange account configured to manual (I want to decide when I see my work email) but this never did have an effect on calendar sync... Very strange.
I leave the topic here in case someone would have the same problem...
Thanks for that, been annoying me all day. Works a treat

Thanks for finding that solution. I tried several things last night and couldn't get it working. I was running ICS on my Rezound without that issue but I'm guessing it was due to Sense. I'm not a fan of automatic push but my exchange calendar is important.
two methods.
one: use exchang mail dirctly with out gmail.
then: use a google account and calender is automatically sync after that

I think that activating push was the way for the calendar to start syncing but then I went back to manual only for what I think is the email setting of Exchange account, and I have calendar syncing fine, while emails are fetched only when I explicitly ask. To me the activation of push was only a trigger, that I was able to undo later on...
That worked for me as well.

You're right had to activate push and there it is :good: thanks i was wondering what it didnt work no more.
setting to push worked for me too - seems really stupid, but it worked.
like others I don't like to have push on. Has anyone turned it off now and have new appointments show up?

Absolutly. This is what I did in the first place : Turn it on first, got the sync to work, then turn it off and voila, it works fine, as you expect.

My agenda is not syncing all items, strange ... It seems to be depending on the category. Before Jellybean all was fine, but now I am missing appointments from my corporate agenda, really strange. Anybody the same issue ? My phone has always been on push.

I've been helping my Dad with his T-Mobile Galaxy SII on AOKP JB Milestone, he's having the same issue right now with his Exchange Calendar not showing all appointments. Push has always been enabled. However it only shows random items from his Calendar, not all the items. I've wiped the device, reflashed, set up the Exchange account before the Google account, nothing seems to fix it. Only a few items from the Exchange Calendar show up.....
I've been searching on this issue it feels like forever now and your post is the closest I've found to the issue lol
Thanks for this! I was frustrated because the Google Calendar sync doesn't sync everything for some reason, but then I couldn't get the exchange calendar to sync. I switched to push, set up to display the calendar, and switched back to manual sync.
We'll see how it goes.
So I can also confirm the calendar continues to sync after setting sync back to manual.
I got a new calendar entry that synced and also edited another and those changes are also on my phone.
I still have problems to sync my exchange agenda with HTC desire HD, try all the suggestion meantion here.
Somebody a other suggestion.
I have no issues with ICS
Thanks

Nitrodesk Touchdown works fine with JB...
Thanks,
works like a charme
This bug was opened but closed as Unreproducable even though it is!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23173
Please go star this item and comment about how you can't get it to reproduce
1) add exchange account, but set sync to "manual"
2) go to Mail and download all your mail ("sync")
3) Go to Calendar and see that you can't add your Exhchange calendar as a possible calendar
4) go back and set your Exchange settings to "push"
5) go back to calendar and see your Exhange calendar has appeared
I'm having trouble getting Push Email working in Jelly Bean 4.1.1 without Auto Sync on.
With ICS (and all previous versions of Android 2.2 and 2.3) I was able to still have my emails pushed to the phone without having Auto Sync enabled. For some reason it own't work in JB.
I don't want to have Auto Sync as i try to turn as much off as i can to save battery life.
Has anyone heard of something being changed on JB to not allow Push to work without Auto Sync.
Thanks in advance for any info provided.
I initially had the same problem. Here's what worked for me, no guarantee it will work for you. When setting up my account I cleared the default port setting and just left it blank. Then my work server set the proper number.
Been having the same issue.
Now trying your potential solution and will see.
Update:
This does, oddly, seem to have worked.
Re-Update:
Nope. Back to non-functioning.

Seconded.
This worked. The battery on my Nexus S was drained in 5 hours of stand-by yesterday and the battery usage was 70% Exchange. Checked my work email via the pc and I had about 50 emails that didn't get to my phone.
Found this thread, went to my exchange settings and removed the "0" from the port setting, clicked save and voila, emails rolling in fine.
There is no way to make it work!!!
:crying::crying::crying:
I am desperated. A couple of days after installing JB 4.1.1 the automatic official update from Google, the Exchange email account suddenly gave up working. After deleting and recreating several times the account the email still could not be synchronized. I configure everything in automatic option but it does not work. I delete the port number and leave it blank but it does not work.
I always get the same error inside the Exchange application with emails previously synchronized, that the application cannot connect to the server but the server is up and running and the configuration is correct. When I delete the accound and recreate once more again and open Exchange app it remains long long time waiting for sync, but it never syncs.
Sometimes when trying to tweak the configuration I get the system message that the account is not found.
It drives me crazy. After trying everything explained above several times I finally succeed to synchronize by activating the general sync button in the main desktop applet (the one for Energy saving which has GPS, WiFi, screen light level, Sync and Bluetooth) and waiting for the system to ask me for reactivating the Security - Device Manager options to allow the security policy specified by the email server.
Do I have to set always the general sync button on?. It will drain the battery, won't it?. Why suddenly it looses the connection and I have to make all this mess to recoup the connection to Exchange server and sync again my corporate email?

I have done the same with no luck either.
I currently have the trial version of Touchdown installed to use for syncing in the meantime, but that's not what I want.
Yes, the sync button will drain battery, and I have gotten Exchange to work with that turned on. I want my simple push email to always function regardless of the system background data sync being on or off - like it used to.

By now it's still working fine. Let's cross fingers. But always with Sync button on. My conclusion is that also we must be careful with the device manager option the security settings. It allows Exchange to access system security settings. If not, the system perhaps blocks the synchronization. Battery does not look to drain much faster than before with Sync button off.
Exchange Email on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 - Waiting for Sync forever
today I got my new galaxy nexus phone with JB 4.1.1 and I am facing the same issue as mentioned by other members. I have tried the following and none of them have worked so far
I am able to connect to my exchange server but its the "waiting for sync" that's not working
1 - removing and recreating my corporate email account more than once
2 - removed the PORT and let the app set it for me didn't work
3 - went to settings and did sync from there for my account didnt work
4 - enabled auto sync and that didn't work
I'm not sure everyone is understanding the proper use of Syncing. Basically yes your account has to have Sync on. The other option is only the Method it will use. For example if you choose "Automatic (Push)" that just means that when your work server gets an email it will push it to your phone (i.e. your phone doesnt check at all... it waits for communication from the server which is the best battery saving sync option). So if you turn Sync completely off your phone will no longer receive the push emails (you can turn sync off on all other accounts).
Removing the port will likely not do anything. It will either just use the default (443) or not use one and it wont work at all. As an example I have a hotmail calendar that I share with my girlfriend (we keep our social stuff in it). When I create the account I choose not to sync anything but the calendar and set it to "Automatic (Push)". This means that my phone should almost never use battery on that account until one of us adds something to it.
If it worked in ICS it was likely a bug that was fixed in JB. When you turn Sync off it means no syncing will happen at all (push or otherwise)
My problem with exchange is.
Setting up configuration = all ok
Server verifies = all ok
But my company requires a security verification through pin. In ICS it automatically made that security option available.
In JB I'm stuck in exchange setup (name, signature, ...)

Same issue here.. It just doesnt show the menu to activate PIN and the email doesnt sync... Need help!!!
Can you not just go ahead and set a PIN before trying to Sync? If its already there the phone wont ask you to do it
any fix for this Jelly Bean bug? It just waiting for the sync.
I use 3 separate exchange accounts and dont have this bug at all. I'm not even really sure what it is. Each time I add my Exchange account right after I click "Activate" I get a little notification that says I need to update my security and I put in my PIN and away I go
I had the same error because of limited internal storage. This is what happened:
1. After update to the new OS, all the apps automatically downloaded and installed on the internal storage.
Note: You may want to check your internal storage first to make sure that you have the same issue [Settings->System Settings->Storage].
2. Sometime after that my email stopped syncing.
3. I did reboots and add/delete many time, but still got the "waiting to sync" message.
What worked !
1. Settings -> Manage apps ->Downloaded (scroll left).
2. Click on individual apps and then click "Move to USB storage".
Once space was freed on the internal storage, everything started working.

Nexus S runnning 4.1.1 stock
This worked for me:
remove port in the incomming server setting
set update to "push"
enable the SYNC button
I used to manualy sync, whenever i needed to access my cooperate mail.
Good luck!
I've tried the stock exchange email app a few times and found it to be overall fairly good. however until I can have the inbox show mail from all folders then it's useless as a mobile email client. I cant be going into each folder (I have 30ish separate email folders with rules on exchange that automatically puts mail from x client into x folder)
I this something that can be done or am I missing a trick. also having to go into each folder and set it's sync options individually is a bind. I'd really love to use the stock client as it looks and behaves far better than (touchdown) but without a unified inbox from all the email folders it's a no no.
Other than that the exchange client works perfectly for me on 4.1.1 (AOKP)
Hi all.
Same issue as others and bk13 After the JB update, Exchange stopped working, as well as Hotmail connection.
I can get the set up done like another here, it is confirmed, but gets stuck at Waiting for Sync endless circle. It is set up to automatic (push) and sync email.
I tried the leave port blank, and it filled in with the 443 default port.
Please help.
I can't get the hotmail to work either, and I see from other forums, it is an issue. what a pain.
Found this on another forum and it work for me. I will see if it will let me set up my Hotmail account now.
It worked for my Hotmail account also. I had to go back and re-check the Auto Data Sync but it worked. Finally, back to normal...
I've found a solution here. Credit goes to Keith Hurst.
JellyBean 4.1.1 Sync | AVForums.com - UK Onlineolution:
Settings --> Data Usage --> Menu --> and check Auto Sync Data
Try setting up Exchange account again and you'll see the prompt to activate a Device Administrator this time.
Thanks,

when I add my exchange account with the correct settings I do not get a connection?
when I use the same credentials on a Samsung Galaxy SII or SIII instead of my own Samsung Galaxy Nexus it works fine???

I had similar issues with weird behavior of the push and sync and I installed Emoze Push client which gives me the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange and IMAP but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients like Touchdown, Moxier, K9 and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.
I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.
Other features which are quit useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email
and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.
This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.
Is this possible? got an issue with the default built in app and syncing with an exchange account. all set up and working fine, but the sync options seem to be missing the option of when to sync, got it set to push, but no option for peak times and quiet times/off peak (ie night, weekend) where it will be manual sync. It's just set to push all the time.
My old HTC Desire had this function years back, as did my S2 etc.
Tried a few free alternatives from the play store but they use quite a lot of battery.
Would quite happily just install the stock android app you get on the nexus, but not sure that's possible without rooting?
