After having updated my HTC HD7 with the Mango official build (via Zune) i noticed a couple of strange errors/bugs that didn't exist before. Let me share those with you, hoping that some of you may have found solutions to these:
1. When replying to an email, after typing some words and adding a couple of newlines, a strange ghosting appears, it looks like the keyboard on 5% transparency being overlayed on the text. Definitely a rendering bug, very annoying.
2. The copy paste icons are different, round. However, after a copy and a successful paste, the Paste icon appears half docked to the left. Before Mango, it would slide all the way to the left, i would drag it out by swiping right. ATM it just stays there, half visible. Maybe it's a new redesign? Looks awful though.
3. Emails with attachments rarely download by single tap on the attachment. It usually informs me the download couldn't complete and fails silently. After a manual resync of email, the attachments appear downloaded. It's not my exchange server, as i had the same server 1 day ago with NoDo working just fine and i also checked with the IT staff.
4. The home screen background used to display my stats and calendar immediately. Now it has a 1 second delay between powering on the device and displaying the information over the background. I immediately see the background, but it takes a while to update the stats (eg. new emails counter). Could be a redesign as well, but definitely annoying.
That it for now, let me know if you found any of these behaviours on your phones and what can be done to solve them. Thanx.

It's true... I have the same problem. So much time to release Mango update and still have problems...
I updated to Mango and none of my email works right anymore. I have an Exchange account and 3 Hotmail accounts through WP7 (I used the m.hotmail.com setting for the 3 Hotmail accounts so everything on my WP7 is EAS.)
For Exchange it appears the conversation feature is the problem. When it is enabled I am unable to delete my email from the Exchange server using WP7 (if I am having a conversation, thus a thread - if it's a single email I can.) When the conversation feature is disabled, I am unable to delete email off the Exchange server using Outlook 2010 (I have to go to OWA or my Blackberry to get the email off the server.)
For my Hotmail accounts - I am unable to receive new incoming mail with the conversation feature enabled. So I obviously disabled it. I also have my Hotmail accounts as POP3 through Outlook 2010. For each POP3 account, Under Advanced Settings I have selected, "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted items'" selected. After the Mango update that no longer works for Hotmail or Yahoo (I used to have Yahoo through WP7 but recently took it off.) To remove from the server from your computer you now you have to log into Hotmail/Yahoo via the website and delete it. WP7 will delete it (only if you haven't already deleted it from Outlook, thus you can't delete email from Outlook anymore) - WP7 is now the main manager of my POP3 accounts which shouldn't be the case.
When I first updated to Mango I was unable to get WP7 to delete from the server for any of my POP3 accounts or Exchange. I uninstalled and reinstalled the accounts I could, but with WP7 you can't do that with the main Hotmail Account - which led me to a reset. After the reset nothing is better. I also deleted all my accounts from Outlook 2010 and added them again. Nothing. I have this on Microsoft's forum and found out that people who use the Hotmail Connector are not having the "delete from server issue" when using Outlook 2010. I don't need the Hotmail connector as I use Exchange (I don't need or want all my stuff on a bunch of servers.)
I haven't heard of anybody else experiencing this. I have a ticket open with my Hosted Exchange provider - I know the dude that will talk to me tomorrow... I am hoping he can help me with Exchange - but to tell you the truth how??? Everything is syncing fine - I can send/receive email and my contacts and calendar sync as well. It's just getting the email to delete from their server - I shouldn't have to pick between Outlook or WP7 - both should delete.
I have thrown everything at this I can think of... calling AT&T will do nothing because they are stupid. I have a Nokia N900 a Blackberry and multiple computers (I am kind of a tech fan) and having email that should be DELETED off the server keep showing up all over the place is just not working for me. I don't want to walk away from WP7, I really like it - but I have no idea how to fix this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
(Sorry my first post is this long drawn out diatribe of email sync dysfunction - but unfortunately that is my life right now. Hoping somebody can help lift me back into the light - where I used to be when my email synced to all my devices flawlessly... life before "Mango." )
Thanks for your patience....
Sandy
(I searched for Mango problems and landed here - but didn't realize that this is HTC - I have an LG Quantum. So sorry - my bad (Hanging my head in shame right now)...
bluetooth
Bluetooth doesnt connect to my car anymore... worked perfectly before mango now it just stays at "searching..." I cant get other bluetooth devices to pick up either.

I have configured my Outlook mobile to work with gmail's imap service. Some of the e-mail are perfectly readable but some I recieve don't even have a message body, it is completely empty.....
Is anyone experiencing the same problems?

help question to Gmail
I just sent a help question to Gmail support, let's see what comes up
I am using FlexMail 2007 on my WM6 device with Gmail IMAP4 and all of the message body appears without a problem, regardless of the format of the original message (plain, rich, HTML), so it might be the WM6 e-mail client that is causing the problem.
Google answer
Here is the Google mail support team answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your report.
We are aware of this problem, and our engineers are working diligently to
find a solution. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have
caused.
Sincerely,
The Google Team
Let's hope they get it fixed soon!
gmail & html mail
I also have this problem.
Gmail that is html or rich text will not show on my Kaiser. if its plain text it works fine, otherwise its a blank screen.
Also just noticed that I received an email with a pdf attachment. the attachment supposedly opened up just fine but the pdf file had the lines (it was an invoice) but no text whatsoever.
I sure hope Gmail fixes this soon, its a royal pain.
Anyone have better luck if you use the POP option with Gmail instead of the IMAP option ??
POP3 works fine for me.
Yeah this problem has been around ever since they've used imap. pop works fine, but when you send a message, it will appear as one of your inbox items.
I run the same setup, but I run gmail imap on 2 mobile devices, the TyTN II and a Nokia E65.
The E65 works well by downloading the header and then if i want to view the email it gives me the option to download the content.
The TyTN downlaods some of the emails but not others.
I went this morning into Manage Folders and then Select and Hold so that the sub menu appears and then select folder options, this brings up another menu page that gives the option to download header or full email content.
I have not managed to test this as i only have issues with emails from facebook ironically but it might solve the problem.

Its a known GMail issue with WM6. Nothing you can do on the device end will fix it. Check out the Official Google Blog.

OK, this just started for me. Yesterday, after entering a couple of appointments into my Tilt, I was able to sync to a MS Exchange Server wirelessly everything EXCEPT those 2 appointments. Mail/contacts work fine. Just not new appointments. However, I can enter them directly into Outlook 2003 and they sync back to the Tilt. No new appointment, re-occurring or not, with or without notes/reminders/attachments syncs. they are reflected on the Tilt, just won't sync. When connected via USB, I get the no help "Support Code 1" error.
My ROM/Radio/Hard SPL info is in my signature. Win XP (I don't know what service pack the server is, but no changes that have occured that coincide), Active Sync is 4.5.0. Death V.4 does have Thumbcal installed by default which, in an effort to resolve, switched to the standard calendar program. I also (in no particular order):
1. ran scanpst.exe on PC
2. ran detect and repair in Outlook
3. did Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\ole32.dll
4. deleted and reconfigured relationship in Activesync
5. changed the durations of the past appointments AND
6. searched to no end XDA and the net for a solution.
Any assistance would be appreciated. TIA!!
-Sign into OWA check if all is ok.
-On your desktop, do the same in outlook
-Create a test appointment with notes on OWA and see if it sync with your desktop calendar.
*If it sync you're good and you may have to contact your exchange host to see if there's been any changes in your exchange setup settings for your device.
*If the sync fails, create a new outlook profile on your desktop. It's a possibilty you profile is corrupt. Any part of outlook can be corrupt and not effect outlook as a whole. In your case, your calendar isn't functioning properly.
-Also...if you had your exchange account for a while, check the personal folder file size. It can hold up to 1.96 gb but at around 1.75, 1.8 gb ... outlook may do some weird things. If this is the case, you need to start archiving.
Hope this helps.
My background on topic:
I used to do tech support for Honeywell where 80% were exchange email related. Most of the users used Blackberrys and a handfull of windows mobile users. I provided telephone & remote support with Landesk & Remote Desktop.
Thanks! I will check in the morning. After posting this I noticed that one of my PST was well into 2 gigs. I am in the process of moving stuff around and hopefully can get it to be a more reasonable size. Lots of rules to adjust. . . .

OK, no luck. Entered an appointment with note in OWA, which synced fine with desktop. Adjusted pst size down to 1 gig, deleted and created a new profile in Outlook. Hard reset Tilt, contacted IT at work and no changes to Exchange Server. IT said contact ATT to see if it is something on their end, but I don't see how that could be.
This is a disaster for me.
I really need to have this working.
edit: One more interesting facet: if I just sync the calendars via USB (i.e. deselect MS Exchange and select "this PC"), syncing occurs. This is entirely related to the wireless component of syncing the calendar. Weird . . .
edit 2: well, flahed Duttys Hybrid, and all was good. Reflashed Death V4 and problem returned. Switched over to L26 KaiserDiamond V9 and problem resolved. NO FRIGGIN IDEA WHY. Thanks DWNY for the help, though. I suspect that my Exchange Server has something against Shogunmark.

Glad I could help ... somewhat.
What ever you do, do not upgrade to IE8 especially if you update your calendar with OWA. The new appointment will show up in your calendar but if you've created notes .... the won't sync to your phone.
Other browsers will show OWA in basic mode with only text entries, no HTML support.
Just a tid bit to share .....
ROMeOS 3.1 has worked great for me.
I'm a heavy Outlook user myself. These days I run my own IT Sub-Contracting company and do all my scheduling via OWA.

Anybody? would love some help!
Not sure if anyone is still having this issue, but the fix for Calendar items created on device not syncing up to Exchange (but sync no problem from Exchange to device), do the following:
1. Go to Start/Settings/Clock & Alarm
2. Change your Time Zone to another zone, and OK.
3. Go into ActiveSync on device, and sync with exchange
4. Go back to Clock & Alarm and change your time zone back to appropriate time zone
5. sync with ActiveSync again.
Problem should be resolved. Has worked for me many of times.
Thanks!
Windows Live for Windows Mobile.
Its not working correctly for me on Hyper Dragon III Full rom. Installed a cab for Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800. I then set up email (I have a legacy hotmail account) via messaging > windows live. Inbox fails to sync, but contacts will sync. After fiddling with manage folders sent items will sync but junk mail wont. So at present i am able to sync contacts, and sent items, but not inbox or junk mail.
Tried thinning down both folders (Less than 50 messages each) but no dice. Any one else having difficulties with windows live and hotmail, or know of a fix for this issue?
I know the server isnt broken because i can sync sent items and contacts...
Trim them down some more. Same thing happened to me. I think Microstink changed server settings and won't synch a heavily loaded inbox. I have only 26 items in hotmail inbox now and it works fine.
I thought they took care of the heavily loaded inbox by only displaying last 50 msgs...
Any who, slimmed inbox to 21 messages, and still no sync "Failed to synchronize Inbox"
Surprisingly junk email did sync with only 5 messages... Ill slim down my inbox some more, bur will be upset if my inbox will only sync with 5 msgs.
It worked after slimming inbox to 4 msgs. whats the point.
Had 25 emails in my inbox and it brok'd again... Boo . Is there another way to sync hotmail besides going to mobile live via PIE, or using mobile live?
This is ridiculous, i would say its an issue with my build current build of Windows Live Mobile, but sent items and junk mail are syncing now... Its the inbox that wont sync. It seems to be very enigmatic.
Anyone having luck syncing hotmail/live inbox with other builds of Windows Live Mobile? If so what build are you using? What rom are you running?
Thanks in advance,
James
This happened all of a sudden for me... I don,t think it's a ROM issue but a server issue. Might be a good time to consider using Gmail. I don't have this issue with my Gmail account.
Not a bad idea .
Hotmail seems to be working ATM. I'm gonna have it do syncs every 15 min for the next day or so.
Opened a gMail account as well, nice that they have imap!
What's the maximum attachment limit for Hotmail on mobile?
It doesn't seem to bother with anything bigger than 2MB... how lame!
Kinda makes HSDPA pointless lol
I've always had problems with Windows live, first setup it syncs flawlessly then nothing but fails. Totally useless. Like you say whats the point in having to log in via PIE, clear your emails out, then re-sync. I'm absolutely amazed that Microlimp haven't sorted this out yet I mean come on its not like people receive less that 5 messages a day what with spam and whatnot.
Useless.
The only solution I think is to forward all your mails to a Gmail account, but im pretty sure that's not a free service, nothing in life usually is.
Live Mail won't download
I've been running into the same problem where my hotmail account won't download. The symptoms are that the email account works fine (access from a PC always works), then suddenly poof, my phone won't synchronize with the server anymore.
On the WindowsMobile website, this is a known problem with the email service and MSFT is trying to fix it, but it's still broken.
The workaround is to find the offending piece of email that is causing the logjam. Once it's been moved to a non-synchronizing folder or has been deleted, Live Mail downloads just fine again. The problem is finding the offending piece of email. For expediency, I just copy ALL my mail to another folder, just to get the downloading working again. I have not found the characteristics that cause the problem, but I do know it doesn't happen to simple text emails.
I've been having problems with this for the last month, very annoying.
AutoSync
So far so good, with auto syncs every 15 min. Hopefully it will last, or at least allow me to find out what mail is causing the sync to break... I didn't know that there are bugs in Windows Live, (or perhaps it !is! a feature to have sync break) maybe it should be degraded back to beta.
I have been having this problem for the last few days, thanks for the notice that it was due to an e-mail jamming it up.
It was my e-mail coming from skyfire, the one telling me to log in and dowload the beta.
I deleted it, and it is working just fine now.
Autosync
Autosync-ing every 15 min or so seems to do the trick, so far for me. Haven't had any issues since cleaning out my inbox and setting up auto sync.
* Damn, didnt realize that i get so much cr*p!
Hello, I really need some help with some email problems here with my nexus 1 (att 3g vers).
It has NOT been rooted, and has android 2.2 installed (prefer to not root btw).
Anyway, the problem is in regard to the android EMAIL app (don't know it's name, but it's the icon of the envelope and yellow @ symbol in it).
I've set it up to handle my other email accounts (comcast and godaddy accounts) - not Gmail. Everything is setup finally and working fine...but for one problem...
once an email arrives, i get the notification...go to read it, BUT - then after reading it...it's then moved to the trash automatically (the trash in the email app that is, it's not removed from the server.
Driving me nuts - it's no longer in the inbox area of the email app, for each and every account). Each email just automatically disappears (goes to the trash) upon my reading it one time.
I can go to the trash folder and read, but this is ridiculous...shouldn't I be the one moving emails to the trash?
Can anyone suggest a fix here, or know of anything I can do to stop this?
I see no settings to change this...it's a serious bug.
Or...is there a better email app (one like this, as I do like the look and feel of this one built into android 2.2) that I should be using?
I downloaded K-9 email (but really hate it's look, feel and operation compared to this one).
Maybe there is something I'm not getting here though and need to change?
It's very strange that ea email would move to the trash upon 1st reading it.
thanks for any help here
also, i have tried searching this site for this problem with zero luck...
but i can't be the only one seeing this issue, right?
again: these accounts are my comcast and godaddy email accounts (not gmail, hotmail, etc).
thanks again
sorry man, I tried looking at my settings to see if theres anything I can suggest. Nada...
update to my Q:
Ok, doyeee
I think I know what's going on....
I was just setting comcast and godaddy accounts up and had the the email apps open on my PC at the same time while running tests.
When I did email tests, and having the PC email apps open for the same accounts...after they download to the PC is when they will go to the trash on the nexus email (not staying in INBOX on nexus when the PC email app has downloaded them).
This might be standard (I don't know as this is finally the first phone able to handle emails like this.
Hmm, i'd sure prefer it if all emails could remain in the inbox (or some other folder other than trash) as I can't hit "reply" once they're in the trash should I later want to reply to the same email with more info later on mobile.
Hello
I have a SGS since about a month now.
The email was fine and I could get all mails even before Ms outlook on my laptop.
but I have just changed the ROM yesterday and since then I couldnt get any mail.
Though I am using exactly the same configurations and settings
Every other internet related app is working fine (including other email apps like Gmail)
I am just having this with the mail app. and for the Exchange Server mails.
I have noticed two things.
1. the sync is not happening (no moving dash circle on the top right corner) and
2. when at the mail accounts screen if I long touched the mail account (which is the only one anyway) and then choose Refresh .. it ask me for Force Close !!!! as it said there is something wrong with the process and it has to be closed.
Can you please help me out here
Work emails are very important for me.
Thanks a lot
