I'm having a really strange issue where upon setting up my Live account (set as a google mail address) it says 'syncing' but a few seconds later "attention required". Clicking on that takes me to a screen that says the password is incorrect though it's definately not, have put it in many times in order to be sure.
The weird thing is though my XboxLive account and avatar synced fine and still do so clearly it is working. I figured it didn't matter as whilst it says it's not synced, it is pulling what I want though having signed up for the Zune pass trial today I can't play any music as it isn't connected (which I'm assuming is because of this issue).
Anybody else had similiar problems or know how to resolve them?

Never mind, turns out it was because I hadn't verified my email account used in the Live Account. Synced fine soon as I had.

Howdy,
I am having trouble using smpts with our servers here at work. It sometimes works and most of the time does not. When it does not work I get a generic message about not being able to download messages or the account info is not right. Obviously the account info is right as I can occasionally send. Sending and receiving are set up for secure access to our servers. When we watch the server logs sometimes what we see is that the phone connects and then does nothing. Other times we never even see a connection attempt. Of course now and then it will send the mail like nothing is wrong. Sometimes it seems that a soft-reset helps to send mail ONCE, and then it is hosed again. The soft-reset does not always work either. I did not try to use secure email when I had the stock ROM, has anyone done this?
Anyone using secure email on the Cingular 8125 (built in mail client) and having issues? I'm running the Molski beta 3.2 rom and typically have the phone overclocked to 240. I've tried dropping the overclock but that did not seem to help the issue.

Certificate
I had to install a certificate, provided by my company, to receive email.
We have a certificate on our server but the weird thing is that every now and then the phone will send the mail. When it works it works as expected and we see the log in and file transfer in the server logs. Otherwise it either connects and then just seems to drop the connection or does not even show a connect attempt.
How/where did you install your cert?
Cy
Sorry but I dont understand the problem.
I assume you are trying to use push technology with an exchange server 2003 sp2.
If so the certificate you need is the one installed as the security check on the server. In my case this is a self generated one using a domain name I own. Some people use a more secure one that can be purchased.
A good place to start with this problem is to go to the mobile settings on the exchange server and turn off the security, this will allow you to check this is a certificate issue, you need to check the obvious as well, firewalls etc..
I use secure IMAP and secure SMTP on summiter's last rom and it works fine most of the time. Sometimes it won't connect, but i think that is either a cingular issue or it also seems to happen if my push email (Exchange) is doing some random activity on my phone. It is definitley more reliable than trying to view my hotmail...
My phone prompts me about the certificate every once in awhile. I just click yes and move on. It prompts me after rebuilding the phone or randomly every couple of weeks, usually after a reboot.
what protocol are you using for receiving email on the phone? pop or imap?
try it on a 2.xx rom and see how it goes.
We do not use exchange here. This is not a push setup. I have the phone checking for mail every 5 minutes. We have a very customized Linux server running sendmail. As I mentioned earlier, the incoming pop3s is working great. But most of the time I get an error on the phone when trying to send using smtps. About 1 in 5-10 attempts will go right through. It is very strange that on our server we do not see much in the way of details. It has to be something about the phone/cingular service. When we check the functionality of our server config using a desktop client configured for secure send/receive it works every time.

"Why do we always seem to get these intermittent problems?"
weird. if mine is going to have trouble it just won't connect at all. once it starts downloading email, it will send as well. Try the new 3.3 rom and see if it works for you with that one. Mine is working great on there
Yes, I loaded the new 3.3 yesterday and it seems to have fixed the issue. Although now I am having trouble with Cingular's IPs not resolving so our server won't forward my emails. :/ But, that is another issue.
Thanks to everyone for trying to help me with this issue.

After about 2hours of using my phone on wifi the exchange sync (built in mail application) doesn't sync anymore (internet itself keeps working). If I then disable en enable wifi, it works again.
I connect to exchange via https (outlook anywhere). Same goes for calendar.
btw, my GMAIL keeps working with no problem. It's just exchange that stops syncing
have you tried restarting the phone?
might be a service that got stuck
yep, doesn't fix it.
I'm gonna test TouchDown to see if it shows the same behaviour
Are you accessing Exchange via "Email for Exchange" or "Corporate"?
what do you mean?
I've made an account on my phone that connects to the 'webmail' of the exchange. Official name is Outlook Anywhere.
noob with similar issue
I'm a relative newbie to this forum so unsure of posting protocol, apologies in advance.
But whatever. I have the att version of the galaxy--the captivate--and have had a hard time getting exchange to work reliably. I've several times deleted and re-created my exchange account, and it will sync initially, and sometimes once or twice thereafter. But then, it ceases working competely, simply saying it has a "connection error".
This happens whether I'm on my company's wi-fi, home wi-fi, or just over the air 3G. the only fix is to recreate the account, and that's a pain.
I had an old winmo HTC fuze for a couple years, and it worked fine with this exchange server--I don't think I ever had to recreate the account, and it was thoroughly reliable. I also borrowed an old G1 for a couple weeks, used Roadsync, and it worked fine too.
I read in another forum that advanced task killer was the culprit, so I deinstalled it. No change. I also read that turning the synchronization on & off from the power widget was worth trying. Also no change.
Any other ideas? I too will try a 3rd party client before returning the phone. I mostly like the phone otherwise, though the GPS problem is annoying.
Appreciate any help.
Tried it with Touchdown: same issue. It tells me: No available network. However website continue to work...
When I click some links/visit some sites, it starts working again...

it sounds like the Wireless or 3G goes into sleep mode when you are not using it.
I have a similar problem, my calendar is able to sync but contacts unable to sync with exchange server.
I have both a corporate email and private email account setup on my Galaxy.
The corporate is an auto-sync through exchange and syncs my contacts and calendar as well
The private is a pop3 account which is set to sync every 15mins.
After 12 hrs or so the private email invariably goes to sleep and doesn't receive any new messages. Sometimes a manual 'refresh' wakes it up, but most of the time I need to re-boot the phone to get it receiving email again.
The corporate exchange account seems more robust, but has also gone to sleep on a couple of occasions
Ideas?
I've seen similar things with my AOL accounts (don't laugh my parents have been using them for like 13 years and I'm not chaning my email after all that time). They seem to have a mind of their own as far as updating themselves goes. Sometimes, its fine, sometimes they just don't bother. Sometimes one of my accounts runs just fine for days, and then I discover that a different one hasn't been syncing at all and theres a bundle of really pissed people wanting to know why the hell they haven't received something.
I have tried using K-9 mail (check the app store), and that works just fine. Does exactly what the native client should be doing.
However, I hate the K-9 icon, and so I refuse to use it until I can figure out how to change the icon without breaking the app. Tried a few times, but no luck *sigh*
Also, you'd think that a standard polling email app shouldn't have any problem just checking stuff.
Strange. Had this last night as well. I know this has worked before as was getting my email in the mornings but had to reboot to get it to work this morning, tried on-off airplane mode as well, before reboot. Interestingly, gmail pulled mail down after wifi was turned back on.
Am on stock DXJG04. I did post on another thread about some processes which seem to cause extra battery drain overnight. Something about suspend not working properly. Not sure if related.
Hey,
I have a weird problem with my One, I recently set up a yahoo mail account using the Sense mail but it would not get any notifications of a received mail, I would however be able to open up the email, refresh and see it's there. If I installed Y! mail, the notification showed just fine.
Other app notifications like Facebook Messenger and so on work alright, but even the weather, which is set to update every hour, won't do so automatically, unless I specifically enter the app and request the refresh manually. So I'm thinking it's a problem related to Sense-apps only, since I haven't had trouble with notifications/updates in other apps.
Another strange thing happens at times with Play Store and Youtube, when entering apps, it first says-"No connection, please retry" or something, and sometimes I have to press retry 2 times to get it to work, even if the wireless signal is full and displayed so in the status bar. The wifi is on at all times, so that shouldn't be an issue either..
Has anyone experienced something similar? The store I bought my phone from two days ago can't exchange it, but only send it in for repairs..
I Have the second problem with my HTC One , the play store is very slow and many times says " connection Timed out" but when i use LTE its fine , im not sure if ghis is related to my phone or my WiFi
Hello! i have an experia z (obviously) and a long while ago i changed my password on my google account. A few days ago, i was doing something (i dont remember what) and it said that it cannot access my google account. so i went into settings and removed the account and tried to relog in. but now all im getting is a screen saying it cannot get a stable connection to the server and asks me to use wifi for more stability. Sadly, i was already using wifi so i still went through the guided setup to select my wifi and try again. still didnt work. so i turned off wifi and used my 4g and it still wouldn't let me log in. So now im trying to troubleshoot ways to log in because i have none of my contacts and stuff like that.
it still lets me log into the account in the browser window and in the gmail app and in the email account setting in account. just not in the guided setup for making it the primary account. (i tried to add it as email and sync to think "just maybe it will work" but it only syncs emails :X)
my device is rooted and using stock rom
Here are things I've tried to do (some are from suggestions online that aparently helped others):
Reboot phone
remove data/cache from google play store
uninstall updates for google play
unchecking auto time
checking auto time
making sure time is right
checked for software updates
restarted phone, took sims card out and tried logging in
tried to log in through youtube app (which goes through the says black screened log in guide)
turned on airplane mode, turned off phone, turned it back on, then tried wifi and data again.
and i think that is all i have tried. But it tried alot of things so im not sure. Once again. i can log into the account on my phone in other places just not in this black windowed log in guide and yes im typing in the right password and username... i can add pictures if needed.
Bump also tried factory reset and going to website and did the trouble shooting guide. Still nothing
Bump threw phone at wall and drowned it in tub. Still not doing it
Also I called customer service. And like I assumed, all he did was tell me to reset cache and data and restart device. Then asked if I could try to factory reset and then couldn't find any other solutions. So im stuck
