hey guys.
i have a million questions but i'll restrict this post to two for now.
a little back up...i have my evo unlocked and rooted on AVA Froyo V6 on MetroPCS' network. i have their $50 smart phone plan which has push email. this feature worked great on my samsung code from metro.
now on to the issues
first and most annoying - using the stock internet browser, while WIFI is OFF i can browse using MetroPCS data network. it works well and at their speeds. if i turn on wifi, no matter where, both the stock internet browser and skyfire suddenly start giving connection errors. if i turn off wifi they go back to working but on the data network. while these two arent working, market works, pandora, facebook, weather, etc. all apps work on wifi except those two internet browsers. i should also mention opera mobile WORKS. not SKYFIRE and not the default browser - which I happen to like more than the other two!
any ideas why? what can i do to fix this?
second and also annoying - the email app SUCKS. i use Hotmail for everything. i have my gmail account forwarding there, my university account forwarding there, my website accounts forwarding there. everything ends in my hotmail account. with my previous phone (samsung code running windows mobile 6.1) i had push email working wondefully and i got used to that. i know the network has the capacity to do it. i also know it's not a problem with the network and this phone, as the email app will download the emails when it feels like it. but then if i read the email or delete the email on the phone, it doesnt do so in the server even though I have it set to do it. also when I go in and click refresh it will tell me there arent any new emails when I know there are...and then when it feels like it later it downloads the email.
is there a program, whether free or paid, that will let me have proper push email with my hotmail account? i dont need any computer sync, just download my email on the fly, preferably as they arrive.
thanks much in advance!
if i can get those two issues worked out my EVO experience will be completely blissful
for your first question i dont have an answer.
for your second question have you tried k9 mail? It works for me doing something similar. I use yahoo and not hotmail but similar set up with all mails coming to that 1 email and it pushes them as i get them and dont normally have any issues with this. It also removes them jsut fine from yahoo.
i installed K9 and it's doing things well with one major issue...which i've now come to realize is the same issue affecting the stock mail app.
the phone can't connect to HOTMAIL's outgoing server. so it downloads the emails as they arrive and i can open them and what not. but if i read them, or delete them, it doesn't update them in the server. it also wont let me send an email out, saying the SMTP settings are wrong, even though it's setting them automatically. so all of these issues are because the phone is not connecting to the outgoing server!
what now?

anyone have any idea on the internet with wifi issue?
Hello
I have a problem with downloading e-mails to my rhodium. I use stock rom 6.1 (manila 2.1). This is really strange becouse if i create other account in phone (for example hotmail) it works good. Even when i turn off wifi and download e-mails by 3G from my gmail - it works good! But if i try to download e-mails from gmail by wifi then i see "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain your login information is correct and then try again". My wifi works good at this time, i tried weather app, youtube, opera browser and everything is good. So what can be the problem? I just cant download mails from gmail only by wifi only :/
Please help, thanks.
edit:
I also noticed that i cant update weather forecast in manila (only by wifi) and i cant connect to myphone also only by wifi. But everything works in 3G. Can it all happen becouse of installing some cookec roms? Maybe using task29 and installing stock rom again could help?
Guys is push mail working for everyone on gmail when on 3G? when on WiFi pushmail is working perfectly and emails are received instantly, but when i'm on 3G only manual refresh works.
Another thing i cannot find on ICS, where do i set the frequency of updating for Facebook, twitter etc? Under accounts & sync i can only set this for weather...all the rest, the feature is missing.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to add....I'm on 1.28 since yesterday, stock, not rooted
Any help appreciated

I'm using Exchange push on 3G without any issues. I usually have my G-Tab next to me and they both receive e-mail at almost the exact same time.
For sync setting go to: Settings>Accounts & sync. All the apps that are syncing are listed and if you tap one each one it'll allow you to change what, how, and when they sync. You can add or remove accounts their also.
Barry thanks for confirming about pushmail. As for the Accounts & Sync i know about this. But try to go on eg. facebook. All i see is:
Sync Calendar
Sync Contacts
Sync live feed
No option to change the "when"
Same for all accounts except weather. I'm not sure if 1.26 was the same because as soon as i bought one x i got the 1.28 OTA and installed it
Afaik, you can change the sync interval of facebook and twitter in the option panel of the application itselve.

I have the same issue. It is driving me insane as I need to have access to my GMail on the go
No issues with PUSH on Gmail here at all. 3G and even 2G. Everything just works.
Using K9 mail v4.011 (newest as of todays date from play store) on Samsung GS3 ICS 4.0.4 running on T-mobile USA network.
I have it Setup for 2 Gmail accts, used K9 automatic setup.
If I go to K9 settings, global, network, background sync, and set this to ANYTHING except never, K9 mail leaves the data connection on constantly, draining the battery and eating bandwidth. No matter wifi or mobile data. the indicator in the top bar is continuous solid SEND/RECEIVE always on. I verified this with Network Manager (also from play store) too.
So I Disable the background sync, and the constant data connection stops, but when I get an email, I never get notified by K9. I have the Gmail app set up also for the same email accounts, and if I have the stock gmail app set to notify me of incoming emails, I get instant push notification of new mail from the gmail app but not the k9 app.
So, I obviously have something not set up correctly for k9 to receive push correctly, but I don't know what I have set wrong? can anyone PLEASE help me?
I'm having the exact same problem. K9 worked great for push e-mail with my Samsung Captivate, but with the Galaxy S3 it works only intermittently (possibly more frustrating than if it didn't work at all).
I tried clearing the data in K9 and re-entering the account info. That seemed to work for a few hours, but now I'm back to no push mail. The GMail app continues to work fine--I'd just go with that, but I like that K9 works with Tasker; GMail does not.
I had this issue too a while back, it was when i was playing with the polling folder options. The only way I could get it back was to uninstall it, and reinstall with the factory settings. I don't have any issues with it receiving push on my S3.

Thanks for the input. I just uninstalled and reinstalled K9, and I'm still having a problem receiving push mail. I guess I'll just have to go with GMail.

I think the issue might be that you have both GMAIL and K9 pulling the same accounts. Trying setting up one that is not also in the GMAIL app. There may be a delay and K9 doesn't getting push. I seem to remember one time i played around with the incoming/outgoing servers too and had to actually use the POP servers.

From what I went thru, you can not use gmail app with K9 at the same time, un-install one or the other. and which ever one you use, do the settings there, btw, the only way I could get K9 to work was use a system uninstall and get rid of the worthless generic gmail app. Up to you, hope this helps, I have 4 email accounts in K9 and it polls correctly.

Thanks. I'll try fully uninstalling GMail. Most of the time, I've had it frozen in Titanium Backup, and I've still had the intermittent push failure in K9. I defrosted GMail and used it at the same time as K9 only as a control to test whether K9 was working.
Hey guys just seeing if anyone else is experiencing problem with stock exchange email client? when I add my account it will sync the emails but I cant send any emails out, the client shows a massage on the keyboard (Retrieving account information...) I have tried Factory wipe and cash wipe nothing works
Are you on wifi? I seem to have problem sending mails on wifi sometimes, just turning off wifi and send the mail on 4g or lte works usually
For me it was like this on 4.1 also
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

Unfortunately I can only confirm the same problem on my Note 2, can receive but cannot send emails through stock exchange email app. I just talked to my IT department from work and they don't know why the issue occurs.
Does anyone know the cure?
Also experiencing the same issue, both on Jedi Master X2 as well as stock TELUS 4.3. Odd issue considering AOSP 4.3/4.4 had no issues with ActiveSync e-mail. For now i'm just using K-9 with retrieval on manual, and just reply o the e-mail through that. Obviously this is less than ideal. Any ideas?
Hello. I have also encountered this issue with my Outlook.com email account following the 4.3 update. I can confirm that Sandesh's solution with replying to an invitation has solved the problem for me.
