HTC/Cingular 2.25 (June 19) and DirectPush Settings

Has anyone else noticed that the option to enter the mobile number/email address for DirectPush is no longer available? I thought the option to enter the number was in the ActiveSync settings, but I have been through every menu and cannot find the input option anywhere.
Did the functionality of DirectPush change, and Exchange is now able to determine on its own what the address should be?
Thanks.

This is gone because that phone number wasn't used for "direct push". That was used for exchange to send a Text Message to the phone telling it to activesync. Now that direct push is available, its essentially connected to exchange all the time and will receive those updates as-needed without the need for a Text Message to be sent.
Hope this clears things up a bit...

I had the same thing happen to me, but it was when Mail2Web upgraded their Exchange server to support DirectPush. Until that point (even with AKU2), there was the option for the notification number. After, poof, it was gone.
So, there's a good chance that if your Exchange server was upgraded, you would not have noticed this change until you went to reconfigure your Wiz after reflashing.

Yup - sure does. Thanks!
Seems that this would drain the battery rather quickly, keeping the cellular connection live all the time?
-Ari

I have DirectPush enabled and I usually get 2-3 days per charge with light phone use (when I don't do huge amounts of surfing or other downloading)

Mine keeps locking up if I leave DirectPush running... Odd...

where do you enter your push settings? our IT gave me the settings but i have no clue where to put them

I found an article that describes how DirectPush works:
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials...ng-Part1-Microsoft-DirectPush-technology.html
"DirectPush technology maintains an HTTPS connection between the Exchange server and the mobile device, a session which is kept alive by using heartbeats. This way the Exchange server can notify a mobile device whether or not there’s a change in the associated mailbox, and if a change occurs in the mailbox, the server can initiate a synchronization. Since the device keeps an open session to the Exchange server, some of you might think this could become rather expensive. But fear not because the device simply sits there and waits for a response, it doesn’t send or receive any data when it’s in this pending state. Said in another way, no data will travel over the wire, unless a change is detected in the mailbox, or the heartbeat expires. To get a more visualized picture of how the DirectPush technology works, see Figure 1 below."

Because the mobile device doesn’t send any empty syncs, the device reduces its power consumption which again increases battery life, and data charges are reduced significantly. It’s also worth noting that any data synchronized between the mailbox and the devices are compressed using GZIP compression.[/b]

You configure the schedule for ActiveSync and set it to "As they arrive," which will basically enable the DirectPush features.
As stated earlier, if you can get ActiveSync to work directly to the server (without using a cable or bluetooth), DirectPush should work. Once ActiceSync is functional, change the schedule for sync and the DirectPush should work.

okay so i need to make sure active sync is on my work computer got it and then configure it threw the work. Now if my computer here is already set up through server exchange do i just have to enable the sync in active sync?

The only time you'll be prompted for your device's email-to-SMS address is when Always Up To Date notifications are eneabled on the server. These are usually left enabled to support legacy devices.

I'm a little confused here. Once you've installed SP2 on your Exchange 2003 server and you have an AKU2 device, the entire scheduling fiasco is gone. There's no schedule configuration. Maybe I'm missing a piece of your puzzle here??

Scheduling is an option that you could enable if you were so inclined... That way you can disable syncronization at night, or set up a schedule that fits your personal schedule. It is for maximum flexibility, I guess.

Thanks a lot.

What a the big changes between .36 and the newest one? I could never get the newer one to work on my kaiser either but I am trying to obtain a FUZE soon.

Found this post searching even more. I did not see too much differences but this may help out others.
"Hello there everyone! I am sure you all are quite a big user of Hotmail and MSN services on your Nokia, Motorola or LG phones or any other PDA devices right? I know I use MSN messenger everyday to keep in touch with my friends and families on the go from my mobile. Microsoft Hotmail charges some extra bucks for push mail services which Google doesn’t but I am just so accustomed to using Hotmail, I just had to find a work around. And good news is that I actually did. Just discovered the latest version of MSN Mobile Messenger with free push Hotmail support, the local search, and the live search have been released.
In this latest version the messenger interface have been enhanced even more, you can do conference chat on the go and even chat in five different friends in five different windows at a time from your mobile phone or PDA. Hotmail have been integrated which actually simply configures itself once you give the email address and the password for your account. Additionally beside all these, you have exclusive online access to password protected parts of the Windows Live Spaces, online file storage and what not. Think of it, if you are an windows live spaces blogger or webmaster, this is a dream kit for you. If you are not, well still then it is a dream kit for you cause the messenger interface is far more superior than anything else out there in the mobile applications market.
With the latest Push version of this MSN Mobile Hotmail, you can be sure that you will never miss another mail due to access problems. It even has the auto complete feature enabled so that when you want to mail someone and you forget their email address, you can still email them by just typing what you remember about that person, let it be their email name or address. The coolest part of it is that you don’t even have to scroll to find the mail. The Microsoft Windows Live spaces feature lets you upload photos from your mobile phone on the go, believe that? Now you can blog on Live spaces even if you are not in front of your desktop. If you are lost in the road you can simply open up the Local Search option and find the detailed address by looking into the map feature, you can even pan, scan and zoom at the same time which will also show you the dynamic weather report just like you see in the desktop version of MSN Local Search. As in the laptop or desktop, you can also save those specific maps/points on your MMC or phone memory to retrieve and view later without incurring GPRS or 3G cost.
MSN mobile lets you view stock quotes, weather conditions, latest happening news from all around the globe and also lets you browse the latest in Entertainment as in movies, celebrity gossips etc. You can seek up phone numbers of anyone you know, or get the latest tips on Tax and other financial stuff all on the go. This is particularly very useful if you are a businessman and need to keep up with the current market and situations even when you are out of your workstation. All unlocked version of Att or Atnt, tmobile or sometimes known as t-mobile, verizon wireless, Sprint and Cingular prepaid and postpaid subscribers can also enjoy these information and services to the fullest from their smartphones or pda. The nifty MSN messenger feature also lets you see and set your own status message, add or delete contacts, appear offline etc just like you do on the PC. You also have the integrated Live search and if you have signed up with the SMS text features of MSN then you can also access and use that."

Not sure if this version does it or not, but I would LOVE for it to sync my profile pictures that I save for contacts.
I've used Windows Live for a while now, and I use it to sync my contacts and email, but its a PITA to reassign my profile pictures everytime I hard reset or flash a new ROM. That was one of the things I liked about Exchange.
Another feature on my wish list would be to sync my calendar/tasks.
If they did those two things, then I think it would be almost as powerful as an Exchange server...for free!

thanks for this unfortunately i still can't send or receive files through it.

Hi Da_G,
I downloaded your cab earlier and just installed it but nothing happens when i click the "windows messenger" icon. I have done soft resets too but it does not work. I have installed it in storage card.
Thanks

try installing it on the device, i haven't heard of it being installed on the storage card and properly working

Not sure if his version is different, but I've read where this version doesn't actually have messenger.

As stated in the title, and visible in the screenshot, this version is with messenger.

i tried it but it was hell to use due to everything on the screen being so small, and i wasn't able to sucessfully send a file, but maybe i wasn't patient enough, will have to try again. does file transfer work for anyone else? still trying to determine if this is a problem with just me or if its universal and no one shares files for live messenger

Thanks, I'll be installing this in just a bit

i just installed and tried sending/recieving files, works like a charm over here

Updated first post, 10.6.46.800

FILE TRANSFER WORKS!!!!...sort of
I assume messenger has a size limit i sent a text file and and excel file from pc to device and vice versa. but try an mp3 and it immediately says error (on both ends)
still this is a start and a very good one thanks for the upload G will send a drink your way come new years

[Q] POP3 mail sync problem

have you set up pop3 mail on the galaxy note? do you have problems?
I set it up to sync every one hour, but it seems to me it is never sync (except when I manually sync it). it hasn't sync itself for over a week. What's your experience? is there any other setting that can affect this behaviour?

The fun part is my GMAIL app on this device does not refresh until i do it manually. I have done all the settings that need to keep it as alive as a PUSH mail ...
I am not that keen on replying my GMAIL as it arrives, so NBD ..
let me know if you do find a solution...

looks like the Sync and notification system on the GNote is not very well implemented,waiting to see how things turn out in the promised ICS,meanwhile just get the official Microsoft email app from the Market called:Hotmail Seven+, this app will push the emails as they arrive.
And forget about the POP3 its nothing like the Iphone.

Set your gmail with email application
Here you have to go like this
add user id n pw of gmail
Now select manual setup
Select Microsoft active sync
Keep id n pw as it is
On swrver part there will b gmail.com, that you have replaced with m.google.com
Now next screen you can set push service n other setting as per you wish.
Hope it will real push mow.

Pop mail doesnt work
I have been reading these posts and I have a similar problem. I can get e-mail on my Nexus s (running 2.3.4). I have many post from different websites, followed their advice and I STILL CANT GET my pop mail to work. I have several accounts, one critical as I volunteer w/ search and rescue. I don't think I should have to convert to strictly G mail accounts, & shouldn't have to forward my mail to G mail either.I love this phone, looking forward to the system update, but this is so frustrating I almost want to ping this thing off the wall! Anybody had similar issues and actually managed to fix it?

I guess easy option is to use 3Rd party email app too configure your pop emails.
Use k9 or anything like that. There are lots of free apps in the play store for that

Ok, heres the update. My mail IS now working (after a fashion). I get a notification that I have mail. I can click on the mail in notifications, read it & reply. I can also, open my contacts list, select a contact & send mail no problem. The one issue I am having now is that if I get mail, it DOESN'T show up in my in box. My sent mail box shows the mail I have sent, but I only seem to be able to open my mail under the notifications tab. And even then, occasionally when I click on that mail, it just disappears. I have only had this Nexus S for a couple of weeks and so I imagine this is just growing pains for someone w/ their first smart phone. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

[Q] Sony Xperia TX - internet really slow

Hi,
I just got a new Sony Xperia TX and set it up on my Wi-Fi connection. I found it really slow even though the Wi-Fi connection is excellent.
I tried turning the phone off and then back on again but the slow internet connection remains. Sometimes apps etc work as they should and quite quickly but most of the time they don't. By in large the loading screen appears when I try to connect to PlayStore or Chrome browser or twitter etc.
I can't figure it out, its like there is something wrong but I don't know how to fix it. I bought the phone on Ebay and I am just wondering maybe its not built to the same spec as what you would get in a phone store. Any ideas ?

sorry I didn't spot the sub form.
Well the phone has been running a lot quicker than when I got it but there is still a small bit of hit and miss. Even though I have WiFi the phone sometimes has problems downloaded emails from Hotmail or some apps would not load up first time. I would restart them and most of the time the app. Why it wouldn't work first time is odd. For a few days there I could not connect to Hotmail and download emails even though I could in the browser. Other times it would not load up an email from the menu.
Any ideas ?

i often the the connection error when checking emails with hotmail and the email client. Is this common ?

my hotmail is working again but its hit and miss... there is error somewhere

I have an Sony Xperia TX and its running Android version 4.0.4. I keep getting connection error messages with my hotmail account.
Its hit and miss, sometimes it will work other times it will not. When trying to retrieve emails from the server I get the connection error", other times when the email is on my phone the email won't load but another email from hotmail would load? It only seems to be hotmail and my other email accounts work and don't seem to have a problem.

At the moment the error I currently have is

My Xperia X8 work fine although a lot slower than the Xperia TX. I never have any connection problems with it but it does not hold numerous apps in memory. The Xperia TX feels like it cannot handle numerous apps running and connecting at the same time.

[Q] Log Out of Google Talk/Remain Invisible?

I'm trying how to figure out how I can permanently log out of Google Chat (not appear idle) or at least have the option to stay invisible. Ever since I upgraded to the Moto X, I get the following notification on the left bar of my gmail:
"Oops! You are not invisible because you're logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn't support invisibility."
Previous suggestions (with other android phones) has shown that I can simply disable the 'Talk' app. However, that particular app does not appear on the Moto X. I've also tried disabling the 'Hangouts' app, yet I still appear idle even when I sign out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have GMail open on a desktop or Google+? You might be showing idle since you'd be logged in on your browser then.

Even when I'm logged out on my desktop, I still appear idle (yellow) on a colleagues computer. I guess my bigger issue is that prior to getting the Moto X - I never had to log out, as I could stay invisible.
Perhaps, I'll try to disable Google+ as well.

On my GMail, for chat if I click on my username there is a "Sign Out of Hangouts" option. You may need to do that in GMail and on Google+ to be actually offline.

I've been having the same issue. I've tried disabling Google Hangout and signing out of google. I can't seem to find a solution for this either. Let me know if you have found a solution.
I may just have to reset my phone and sign out for a new google account. If any body has a smarter solution please do let us know

I have the same problem on Moto-X. I tried Factory reset and also deleting google+ account. Nothing helped :crying:

Same issue with nexus
Same issue here with Nexus 4

[Fixed] The ‘always online’ problem with Google Chat
In short, this is the problem: You try to go invisible in chat from your gmail and it says: “Oops! You are not invisible because you’re logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn’t support invisibility.” No matter what you do – from signing out of all the devices/clients/locations to resetting your google account password, you STILL see the ‘oops’!
Frustrating. To the core!
Turns out that there are a number of reasons why your chat suddenly behaves this way. But the main point is that there is another (or are many other) session(s) of your chat active at that particular time. This spooky session(s) might be from a talk app on your mobile phone, the Hangout app, stand-alone Gtalk software, IM clients such as eBuddy, Trillian, etc. The idea is to end those invisible session(s), but you have no idea where that session is, right?
Don’t worry, there is a way to find that and it takes as much time as it will take you to download around 9Mb.
So, here are the steps:
1. Go ahead download pidgin, a third-party IM client and install it. We will use this client find out and force sign-out those ‘ghosts’ of your Gtalk!
2. Run the program after you install it. You will be asked to ‘Add‘ an account. Click it and select Google Talk from the drop-down menu and enter your gmail credentials. See the pic below:

}
Sign-in with your gmail credentials​
Sign-in with your gmail credentials
3. A successful sign-in will take you to the client and you will be able to see your contact list (called as Buddy list in pidgin)
4. Click on ‘Buddies‘ and select ‘Get user info‘ or you can just press Ctrl+I. This will give you a pop-up window as shown below. Type your gmail address in it and click OK.
Enter your Gmail id​
5. Wait for sometime while it fetches the information for you. Once it is done, you should see a window like the one below:
Enter your gmail id​
As you can see, this account has currently got 3 active session running (including the one from pidgin). Note the IDs given for the “Resource” entry. Copy the whole content into a notepad/word file. All these IDs indicate a specific device/client in which google talk is active.
6. Now Close this window. Click ‘Manage Accounts‘ and then select your account and delete it.
7. Now, repeat the ‘add account‘ process given in step 2. This time in addition to your gmail user name and password, give the ‘resource id‘ in the ‘Resource‘ section. Sign-in
8. Now, once you are in the main window of the application, set your status as ‘Offline’. Sign into gmail and try to set your status as invisible. If you are not getting the ‘oops…’ message, then you have done it! If you are sill getting it,then follow the above step with the other resource ids that you have seen (which you should have copied into the notepad/word file). Try them one-by-one till you are able to set your status as invisible in gmail chat.
That should do it!
Thanks to Keith for this helpful suggestion.

This worked only temporarily for me. Is there a way to trace back the "Resource" to see where it comes from and delete it altogeher?

Did you try to delete the account from pidgin after figuring out the resource id that was being used? Once you log into pidgin with your resource id, go offline and close the app but do not delete the account from pidgin itself. This way, the resource id is locked in use by pidgin and it has forced an offline state for that session. The moment you delete the account, the ghost session goes live again on some server.
MessagingA = Android
MessagingB = iOS
In my case, I deleted the Hangouts app from my ipad without signing out.

yep, i found this:
"If you are signed in to the Hangouts app on your mobile device, in Chrome, Gmail, or in Google+, you will be unable to set your status to invisible."

Pidgin keeps changing google talk to XMPP and says I am not authorized...
What am I doing wrong?
