Hello,
Not sure if everyone is aware, but Google recently rolled out their OTA-push based Exchange service, which we can definitely implement on our Kaisers/Tilts. It's actually pretty handy, since it lets you sync your contacts, calendar and GMail messages all at once, using Exchange protocols.
Go into ActiveSync, choose "Add Server Source" and enter your GMail address and password, and it should auto-detect pretty much everything else. If asked for a server, enter "m.google.com"
I've found that it works pretty well, and if you set it up it will utilize the "Outlook E-Mail" account in your phone's picker. The only drawback I've found is that it inserted a zillion new contacts into my phone, mostly people I've e-mailed in the past. Dunno how to tell it to be more selective..
It's kinda neat! And it's server-push based, so your phone doesn't have to keep checking periodically.

That is pretty cool.
Cool thing, is there anyone who knows how could we set some contacts on the google to be ignored? So it doesn't insert all emails that google is aware of? I want most of them, but definitely not all, and I guess that if you delete them from the phone later, they will be deleted from the google as well.
Us users, never easy task to make us all happy

Duplicate Contacts Problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New problem - please help!! Last night I spent 2 1/2 hours deleting duplicate contacts from my Pocket Outlook Contact list. Strangely enough the desktop pc's that are syncing with the same Exchange server do not have the duplicate contacts - only my Kaiser!
Then tonight the same hundreds of duplicate contacts showed back up out of the blue again!!!! Strangley the duplicate contacts only have partial information - like missing email address or one of the phone numbers.
Tonight it seemed to be induced after installing PocketCM !

Hi everyone,
I am having a strange problem on my HTC pure.
I have yahoo mail configured on the phone. The phone downloads the mail just fine for a couple of weeks. But all of a sudden it will start downloading ALL messages from the server. Then it gets stuck at 99 [shows 99+] and never downloads new mail after that.
Please check the screenshots:

}
The only way to get rid of this problem is to delete my yahoo mail account and re-add it. Then it works fine for for a couple of weeks and the problem happens again.
This has happened to me 3 - 4 times now. Strangely, the other accounts [IMAP accounts from my domain name] don't do the same thing.
The account has the default settings....you know the standard - "download 3 days worth of mail".
I am running Energy ROM [Energy.TOPAZ.21914.Sense2.5.Cookie.Aug.22] but I remember this problem used to happen with the Stock ROM too.
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
You can set up a gmail account and forward Yahoo to gmail, they have a better spam filter anyways. Then you only need to support 1 account.
...and then add a Google voice account and you'll get your vmail in text and e-mail form.
HELP!
This happened again today.
I am at my wits end...HELP!
Hey there
I have been using the stock browser quite a lot lately, even more than Google Chrome, and I think it is a very good browser and I love that it has Adobe Flash Player. I have two gmail accounts on my device, and when I opened the stock browser for the first time, it signed into one of them on its own but I want to sign in the other one, however I cannot find that option under the browser's settings.
Does anybody have any idea how it is done?
Thank you.

Google Homepage -> Slide up -> Select Sign in, or if already signed in then press your profile picture and press sign out first.
Also, on websites with the yellow Google sign in popup, you can just press the email and select a different one

I am out of thanks for the day but I wanted to say that I just love you. Haha!
When I open contacts on my n6, I get a perpetual message saying "Contact list is being updated". When I looked at my Google account I noticed contacts was gone from the sync options. I tried clearing data on Contacts and Contacts Sync, that didn't work. I tried removing and re-adding my Google account and that didn't work. Any idea? I am stock and rooted.

Could be Lollipop?
My girlfriend's Moto X (2014) did this. The contacts were there for a few days then suddenly disappeared without warning (although a few - around 5 - remained).
On her previous phone, the Moto RazR, I had backed up to a MicroSD card but not bothered to use it as the sync had worked. I pulled the card, accessed the gmail account on my desktop PC and restored from the mem card. This was a bit of a pain but I merged some duplicates and added some photos at the same time.
I think I fixed it. I copied the contactsprovider.apk from /system/priv-app to /system/app and rebooted. It added contacts back to my google account and began syncing. Not sure wtf happened.
I had the same problem. Just rebooted and it came back
Not sure if there is a way to avoid it?
I'm trying to replace a launcher but this option prevents me. Any way around it?

You need to sign in to the Vivo account in order to be able to change the launcher.

Whoa, that's big! They can just do that? 0_o
I'd just create a dud account with a garbage collecting email address (we all have one, right?). Do other default apps (messaging, phone, etc.) also have this limitation posed on them?
No, just the launcher. I've replaced the default phone app with Google Dialer, the email app with BlueMail, and the messaging app with NextSMS. They work fine as do their notifications. Some third party apps (like Google Messages) won't show a notification in the system tray if the phone is in system wide dark mode (they work in light mode) but that is a different issue from requiring Vivo's permission to replace the launcher, which requires them 'confirming' your account by email or text message by registering and signing into a Vivo account.
