Sync all your contacts to Google and you'll never have a problem again. This is how everyone else does it and how they will tell you to do it. Really the best way to manage your contacts on Android.

E-mail dissapeared on messaging WM6 (on 3 UK)

Hi guys, I have a bit of a problem. Its really annoying. I confugured my yahoo and gmail e-mails on my trinity and it was working fine for a few days. Just this morning i noticed that I'm not getting any e-mail notifications which is a bit odd because I normaly get 15-20 e-mails a day. When I checked messaging, all my pop email configurations was gone! I don't know what happened. Anyone had the same problem before? Please do advise. Cheers.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Is this a cab file? What does it exactly do? Cheers again
That software can find you account back, and after you input the email infos to that software(pop3,smtp,password...), it will try to recover your account everytime you reset.
or you can try the rom i modified from Karmba_a's rom, or others rom noted with "old xip",these roms wont lost account.

unzip it first.after that
if there is a cab, then install it and find shortcut from your startmenu to run it.
end
else
if it is a folder or files, then copy it into anywhere of your main memorydont put it into your sd card),and run the exe file. you 'll be fine.
end
'and by the way, try to update hard-spl, hah.
Thanks. Does this e-mail problem also happens to other HTC devices?

LG GM730 ActiveSync upgrade or new ROM

So I got the GM730, thanks to this great forum found the way to remove LG applications that were killing me. Now the problem I have is ActiveSync keeps giving me an error when trying to sync with any Exchange server (0X80004005). After googling and trying every solution I could find haven't been able to fix it, so I am guessing a I need to completly remove ActiveSync on the phone an reinstall it, so newbie question here:
1. Is there a way to remove and reintall ActiveSync from the phone?.
My other solution is to reinstall the 6.1 ROM, so:
2. Is there any place I can get the LG ROM for reinstalling on the phone?
And finally:
3. Is there any cooked ROM I can use?
Thank you again, and this forum rulz.
hi, im sorry that i cant help but im wondering whether you can tell me how you managed to remove the lg applications?
lg message is killing me >.<

Google Syncing Issues, Plz Help!!!

Hey guys,
I would like to start by apoligizing if there is a thread relating to this issue, but i have searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. The problems i am having is that Google just will not sync on my phone ATT Galaxy S3. I lost all contacts, google play, and google talk. nothing is working anymore.
Recently i tried to install "freedom" on the phone to get free in app purchases. then installed localepicker. now removed the locale picker and the freedom app and i am not sure if this is what caused the problem.
I dont know alot about all this rooting and flashing and stuff like that... i rooted the phone a very simple way from this website just to get game gaurdian on the phone to mess around with games.
So if anybody could helo with my problem thta would be excellent.
Thank you very Much.

When you go in settings and add account, do you get an error? Also, do you set it to manually sync or automatic?
Did it randomly stop or it was after flashing?

Can not establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues Call Customer Servic .
Thats is the message that I keep getting. And i noticed it this morning after I deleted all that freedom/locale pocket stuff. The Internet still works, it's just it refuses to sync the Google account.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

When you look at your signal, is it grey? When it is colored (blue most of the time), then it's connecting with Google, if grey, it's not.
I did a little google search (can go a long way ) and found a few solutions:
1- Just restart the phone without the SIM card, and connect to some WiFi network, so you can login to your Google Account. It will log you into the account, and then you can put the SIM card back.
2- Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
Go through login process
3- Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this.
Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

Tried step #1 and #2. None of these work. Just a quick question before Itry step #3 . Will it cause to brick my phone? The only reason I am asking is because the phone is rooted, by one of the methods on this site. That is my only worry, will anything happen if I do it that way or doni have to go threw Odin and that whole process again? Once again thanks for the help.

No you won't brick your phone. Although, make a backup first.

Thanks a lot. When you say back up - you just mean pull all the pics off and put them on my comp, right? Like i said before I'm a noob to the whole android rooting process and things of its nature. Thanks again.

You can go in recovery and make a nandroid backup. That will make a flashable image of your phone which you can get back to if something goes wrong.

Wow. Ok I totally lost you there. I don't know how to make backups and flash stuff. Guess I'll just try to take off the pics and videos. And start from scratch again. I would love to have the latest JB update w/o all the bloatware that AT&T puts on it, but that a whole other project in itself. Lol Thank you for all your help.

Fantastic.... all your ideas did nothing...
Still experiencing the same problems. same error message. its like its blocking my phone from syncing. Maybe i deleted a file. I think the best bet would be to flash a whole new ROM or reboot the whole phone, and make it a fresh one.

Do a backup and go back to stock. See if it works there. If not, it's a problem with your carrier, maybe even your sim card.
