Hi all,
Last week i flashed my i9000 with the froyo jpo build, since doing this my exchange mail is so slow. When i open the email program now my phone hangs, eventually it comes back to life but i still cannot navigate the email. The scrolling stills and i almost never get emails to open.
Is this a known bug; and is there a fix?

It's a known Froyo problem with exchange accounts, only a lagfix will fix it.
Also, set the exchange account to "Push" to prevent a wake-lock which drains the battery
Can you advise me on how I can root froyo, it seems that all the methods and apps I have found are only for 2.1!

I have come across your message via google and have almost thrown away my galaxy mainly because of this terrible performance. I used to do my mail via my iPod touch 2nd generation which still outperforms even as 'old device' the galaxy. I updated 2 weeks ago via Samsung Kies after long waiting and tracking the news about the foreseen froyo performance benefits. However, apart from people mentioning Touchdown or K9 as alternative for (corporate) email, it 's still unclear to me how to solve this specific issue other then using the Galaxy as mobile accesspoint for my iPod touch. A bit stupid for such a device.
Besides this, after the update I loose icons like nu.nl on my homescreen after rebooting for sure but also without..
I would love if we can get directions how to solve this in a way that I do not 'blow up' my device. Yes, I have read - not done yet - about Odin, unrooting etc. but I, like akaVintz, need a more 'proven solution guide' because the lack of experience in the Android environment.
On 2.1 I used to have and Exchange and a pop3 email account set up and all worked fine.
When I updated to 2.2 the whole mail client became very very slow and many times it used to hang and many cases it would force close the email app. I simply did a factory reset and this corrected all the issues. I didn't really loose anything as my contacts etc etc are syncd with exchange I just had to download and reinstall some apps
I to have done the factory reset, like you say it's not really a problem when all your contacts are in exchange, it just doesn't seem to of cured the slowness. I really just want to apply what ever I need to sort the lag out on 2.2. Everything I have found refers only to 2.1.i have downloaded apps and they won't work for me. Please help...¿

Maybe is a service relating to a third party app that might be causing it. Do a bit of trial and error stopping and restarting services. I found one of my ip widgets was causing a lot of slow down once removed I got back to 2.1 speed.
Email performance 6 weeks later Galaxy S 2.2
As suggested I did a factory reset and it looked this corrected the mail performance issues. Having added only a few apps in the meantime (and moved to external SD card where possible), and killed any widget on the main screens I again suffer from lags (force kill email) and Android BSD instead of windows BSD. Difference is Black and Blue. Having Black Screens of Death in 2011 is not very user friendly. Reading further about something like z4root etc. makes me feel like switching to the IPhone or giving it a change. No idea of the email works better then. Apart from that, comparing my 2,5 years old ipod touch email app which does HTMl flawless with this Android 2.2 exchange client is like Apple was already 5 years ahead a that time. Anyway, it does not perform at all, did a side by side test with a HTC desire which theoratically should have been slower....but not....drives me to the last option of rooting. But wich one? So to start the weekend I hope some can share their (rooting) experience giving my Android experiences with email.
Just rooting won't make Exchange email any better. Flashing a newer ROM (which will bring root in the process) will. JPO is considerd an old ROM by now. We are at JPY by now, which is a lot better, lagfixes are no longer needed to have a fast Galaxy.
Flashing is really simple with Odin, just make sure you can get into download mode before attempting flashing and there is almost no way to mess up your Galaxy S for good. All original ROMs are available at samfirmwares.com, i suggest to read up on there, or read the Android Development subforum (which can be intimidating i admit)
I am uncertain if JPY have any improvements on this but I encounter the same problem in a stock I9000 ROM
- Click on the exchange inbox, took 3 minutes to go to the list of email
- Click on email , took 3-4 minutes and you may see the email or the email application will crash.
I was super frustrated by it as it a company mail system that I rely on, so I root the phone and get lagfix... currently with around 108 mails in inbox...opening every mail is a breeze, also facebook and android market load much faster too.
I am using a I9000ZSJPE s.w as its a Hong Kong Rom
Much better email performance with JS3 the dutch jpy update
Yesterday i flashed with odin to this samsung pre-released stock update after installing the 3 button recovery/download fix. The performance increase is indeed extreme good and to my surprise the email client suddenly supports html to a degree i can live with now. i cite someone who wrote that obviously samsung released a great piece of hardware but to early for delivering good software. anyway i really can recommend this version 2.2.1 after a lot of frustration.

The official Facebook app for Android is now available in the market. Looks a pretty solid release. Loving the widget.
A lot of people, at least in Sweden is reporting it to crash at startup. I'm running latest MoDaCo ROM.
How come application is released by katana-something. How do one actually know this application is an officially one?

About as official as a 419 scammer purporting to be from the IMF with an email address like [email protected], with an offer of a share of a few million quid!

Alright... Somebody should change the thread title
Yes and no. It IS the "official" Facebook app, and most certainly must have been developed WITH Facebook. Actually, even the iPhone app development page said it was not developed by Facebook up until v. 3 (I think). --And it definitely was. They just gave credit initially to the FB employee who had done the coding. The story behind this app is that Google "lent" FB an Android dev to create this app.
The Palm, Blackberry, and other "official" FB apps also say they were not made by Facebook. Click "mobile" on your computer at the bottom of the screen and check them all out. FB does this for some reason. Also, any previous apps that have been developed have been forced to remove the word "Facebook" from their names. Bloo was originally called something different, and he was forced to change the name. This is why we have "Babbler", "Bloo", "Fbook", etc. You know every one of those devs would have preferred to name their apps "Facebook". I have no doubt this app is developed officially in conjunction with Facebook.

Works fine for me! No crash on modaco 2.0
Yeh, as Switchbitch said, it IS the official Facebook app, but it was NOT created by Facebook, but rather, in association with Facebook.
And in regards to crashing - working perfectly fine here on MCR 2.1e.
MCR 2.2 Here. No crashing, and every bit as cool as the iPhone app from what I can tell.
iPhone version is obviously going to be a lot more feature-filled and stable (seeing as they're already at version 3.x) but I can picture the Android one improving over time.
The app is the same one shown in the leaked images a few weeks back and when installed and used the 1st time you must accept the facebook terms and conditions.
Does not crash for me at all, is pretty fast however i have noticed that i seem to get notifications from babbler way before this app notifies me about anything.
From reading about the app previously you would have known that it wasnt going to be as advanced as the iPhone app and wouldnt have access to items such as your inbox.
This app is based entirely on the new stream system that facebook usues.
On a side note, does anyone know how to skin the widget and the notification icons?
which one is the "official" one?
i can see quite a few out there like facebook lite, mobile facebook etc etc
This is rubbish. You can see people's walls and your own, but no access to your inbox for private messaging...?
And how do you update your status rather than just post to your... "wall". I think the problem is that Facebook has changed since i used it last and I don't understand it!
They released a version this morning that didn`t work. Force quit during startup.
Around lunchtime they released an update. Now everything is work as it should. Pure joy!
So, it seems status updates now go straight to the wall rather than being seperate. and are archived to your wall. Then the news feed gets everyones comments and status updates. You can also post on someones wall if you wish, as well as commenting directly on thier status. I get it. I think
Well, it's missing friend search, and messaging.
Battery life
Has anyone else noticed this chewing through the battery? Since installing this I've been watching the percent left drop on a frequent basis. I've got it set to update every hour.
EDIT
Forget that, it was just me being paranoid. Fully charged the phone last night, unhooked it from the mains this morning at 7am and currently power is sitting at a very respectable 99%.
Hello,
i am running Froyo on my nexus one.
When configuring a new Exchange support, i get:
""SETUP COULD NOT FINISH.
This server requires security features your phone does not support""
Touchdown is working fine and reports the following securities features:
Allow simple password
Password/PIN required
Failed attempts 10
Min length 5
Min Complex 3
Timeout 1800 sec.
Password recovery
So the question are:
1) Which of this securities is not yet implemented natively in froyo?
2) Will it make it in the final froyo release?
If any of you has some inputs, it would be nice to share.
Thanks in advance!
Best

Sorry I cannot help with your problem other than to say that I have exactly the same issue. I am really shocked that Google have not got this fully working. We are hardly talking about a new protocol here!
Whilst I have Touchdown and have done since moving to Android last year, this single problem has stopped my company giving everyone Android phones. Come on Google, get it sorted!
Maybe because the foryo we got is not final? Ever thought of a unfinisched product that you use, is not finisched?

I think the point is that proper exchange support should really have been there from day one.
You just don't build a serious, high end smart phone with out proper integration to corporate mail (read exchange ).
Unless you're Google apparently.

Well, I work and live in the corporate world and use my phone as such a device. I guess I sort of agree with you there about the exchange support, I can't really legitimize why they didn't incorporate this almost-brainless sync method.
Does the security policy of your works exchange server require to have a screen lock pin, specifically mobile device security policies? I noticed, after wiping from Froyo(with screen lock pin prior to EX acct) to CM and then back to Froyo(no screen lock when configuring), that I received an error that setup could not finish, I assume this is because without having a screen lock policy set up on the phone the exchange server will not authenticate to my device. Check that out. Also, this is not a finalized product.
Mine works fine...and I manage the Exchange system here...no problems.
My biggest issue is that Google has provided half-ass support for Exchange, and this version is no different.
You can't even move an item to another folder from the inbox with the stock Froyo.
The Desire Rom has the functionality and ability, best interface and options compared to the stock Android.
The stock Rom sucks honestly...if it weren't for Desire...I would still have my iPhone, even they figured out, licensed and got working properly the Exchange support 18 months ago. Windows mobile devices have had this for 3-4yrs.
My first post! May as well make it contributory.
It is interested to note that one may need a PIN lock set up first *before* adding an exchange account that requires one... I know I haven't been able to get our 2.2 Nexus One's to connect to our corporate Exchange Server for my girlfriend and I.
Let me go change to a PIN lock and see what happens when I try to add the exchange account...
Yep, no go still. "Unable to open connection to server."
They really need to add a Verbose button to these error messages.
still not working
Hello,
I tried setting up a PIN code before starting up the email application.
Does someone knows where to find the email app log file to see what is not good?
Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I tried using touchdown (which as great as it is, still lacks a lot of features), then tried using the Froyo Email/Calendar apps... Nothing has ever worked smoothly with Exchange + Android. I ended up migrating my email server (luckly it is only a personal email server) to Google Apps, and I have never been so happy with the performance and stability.
It is a tough cookie to swallow, but gmail is much better then Exchange on Android...
Is there already a list with collected problems after the Froyo . I'm sure that Samsung is following everything that's on XDA, and maybe it's a good idea to put them in one Thread.
My Problems:
- still no support for Exchange 2003 email. It worked once, but only very slow and after returning to the original settings I suddenly was not able to add my account again...
- Mp3 player in sleep modes, doesn't return to the last played song. Very annoying if you close the player to check email or surf on the internet...
- battery drain looks worse after updating to 2.2
GPS is the worst problem
Which version with anything like a lagfix ??
-exchange I'm not using (because I redirected them to gmail) so I can't tell
-mp3 I use it every day and I always find it where it was
-battery drain might be related to a lagfix have you done this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722862 ??
I am a fresh owner of a Note and am overal extremely happy with the device after my first week of use.
Many thanks also for this great forum, which has helped me discover many tips and tricks that would have taken me a very long time to discover myself!
I have however stumbled upon a very annoying missing feature in the built-in calendar, the S Planner, that apparently has not been discussed by others yet.
An extremely handy option which I used all the time in the standard Android calendar of my now retired Motorola Milestone, was the standard link between the location of events and Google Maps.
Once a calendar item including correct address was entered in my Google calendar, either trough a browser, my phone or even synced Outlook account at work, I only needed my phone to make sure I could easily get there.
In the standard Android calendar you can just click on the location of any event and Google Maps is automatically fired up with this location as the destination.
In the S Planner this link between the location of events and Maps is apparently missing. Which for me is a huge miss. Of course you can start editing the calender entry, copy the address and paste it in Google Maps.
But the big advantage of smartphones, at least for me, is the seamless integration of its many different capabilities.
This is in fact such a huge miss that I really would prefer to use the standard calendar. Which unfortunately can not simply be installed from the Android Market.
I really hope others in this forum have already stumbled upon this problem and found a solution. Maybe I am just missing something, even though I have searched quite a bit already.
And I really hope Samsung solves/improves this very quickly and/or even better, gives us at least the choice for the standard Google calendar. After all choice is Android's greatest strength.
Solved ... by SAMSUNG
Just a quick reply to my own post in case someone else would be confronted with the same problem and stumble upon this thread.
After receiving two consecutive OTA updates which brought my phone from KK5 to KL7 and then immediately afterwards to LA4, it appears the issue has been solved and Samsung incorporated a link between the location of events in the S-Planner and Google Maps.
... modifying my phone from a nice piece of equipment into the perfect tool
Map integration - question
Hi, I have the same problem that you did - how did you get your phone to update? I regularly check for updates with Kies and it refuses to upgrade to the firmware version that you mentioned. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.
Looking for a new phone really like the Mi 11 ultra question I have is any phone I get off also used as my work phone need to run multiple Microsoft apps for work still wondering if this works be the right phone or of I should keep
I'm using the Microsoft Authenticator and Outlook for the office without any issues. What other Microsofst apps are you talking about? In SIM1 my private and SIM2 my company card.
Using it for my work related apps that are part of the Microsoft ecosystem and i have zero issues.
I was glad when I saw i could sync my corporate email ( based on office 365 exchange ) that requires additional safety checks .
Teams and Skype for business works perfectly.
I have a couple of authenticators that i use without issues ( VIP Symantec, google authenticators etc. ).
All the apps sync without issues, never missed anything as of now. Heck, even Gmail pushes the email on the now .
If you have any specific apps that you need let me know and I will see if I can test it out.
Cheers !
Same here I am using outlook for corporate email(365 exchange) and MS authenticator with no issues. Bonus the AOD screen also shows outlook notifications icon on it as well.
Thanks for the information really helpful mostly using Outlook and Excel from Microsoft I guess the only ones more I'm not completely sure of world be click mobile it's a routing app and service now but I think they should be okay
those work on mine, just push notifications are spotty on my tmo service in upstate ny. still haven't gotten one work slack blip and only get emails if i have the app open, but screen off. i dunno, i'll give this phone another week and if i can't figure it out it's going back to giztop and i'll just grab the 1+9pro from the tmo website
Thanks let me know how it works out that was the other phone I was looking at as well
oh, no opsgenie either....which i kinda need when i'm on call. my huawei mate 20 pro gets all those still luckily.
i'm going to try to flash to the global/eu rom today and see if that helps at all

Make sure to have the AutoStart enabled and also disable battery optimizations.
Also i noticed something the first time i setup my phone.
It tends to "learn" the app behavior somehow.
I'm saying this because after installing all my apps sometimes notifications didn't came trough right away.
It took one or two days until everything worked flawlessly without me doing anything special other than adjusting the config/permissions for each app.
I saw this behavior by watching the battery app and looking what process was using it the most.
And of course i saw android system process that was running. This one stopped after two days or so and everything was smooth since then. So i'm guessing the MIUI optimization process and some other functions are running in the background at start setting things up.
Also note that i didn't disabled/removed via ADB any preinstalled Chinese applications ( only those that were possible to remove from within the xiaomi getapps application - uninstall section )
I just muted the ones i didn't care about and i'm happy with my battery life ( i'm monitoring it via the battery app built in and also accubattery pro where i can see exactly how much each app is consuming between charges )
So my advice is to set the applications properly and have a bit of patience
Cheers !
