I know this is a little off topic, but was wondering if anyone has experience running Exchange SP2 with PUSH EMAIL. My hosted Exchange ISP is telling me that they do not support PUSH email (new ActiveSync) because there are major problems with the stability of the release... isnt this BS, I thought once you have SP2 you should automatically have PUSH email.
IDEAS?
they have to enable push e-mail support in Exchange, it's not automatically enabled by default. once that's enabled, push e-mail should work like a charm. as for stability of sp2, that's highly unlikely as i know countless places that are running sp2 and push e-mail JUST fine.
that's not entirely accurate. Direct Push is enabled by default, but they can disable it. It is likely that they have, if they feel that it doesn't work right.

I'm not sure that it is, it's a while since we updated our servers to sp2 but i'm pretty shure you have to put the tick in the box for enable direct push email in the mobile services prefrences before push will work.
Then again it is a while since we updated and I may be mistaken..
Has ne1 here been able to get Push to work? I installed the Exchange service Pack and enabled HTTP push. My WM5 wizard does a manual sync fine via GPRS, but when I check off up to date receipt, it keeps asking me for the phone's SMS number...
Has ne1 encoutered this prob? I wonder if it makes a dif if my Phone OS is French while Exchange server is in English
Thanks

Ours is working fine, It sounds like your setup stil to use the autd way ie. via a sms message or an email 2 sms gateway, have you put the phone in the cradle and synced since installing sp2 and enabling direct push, also we enabled the enforce divice security feature and set a password on the phone.
BTW is you deviced using an updated rom with the push facility (aku2) ? as soon as we updated our devices the divice address feature in activesync was removed.

Good question. Im not sure. My Phone is WM5 with ROM ver 1.3.1.11 FRA and operator version 12.3.5.107. How can I know if it has this AKU2? I though all versions of WM5 were PUSH enabled...
Also, did you have to install a certificate on your phone and server? Ours doesnt have one...
thanks
No only the newest roms for the wizard have the AKU2 update in them they have been officially released in the last few days on Imates ftp, and yes you need a security cert on the server and the phone for it to work if s your own certificat the device will have to be application unlocked to install the cert.
OK, thanks for the info. I guess I need to updgrade my ROM
I saw there are quite a few posts regarding the upgrade for the wizard. Could you recommned me which version you installed exaclty and where you got it? its good to use something tried, tested and true....
(Im on an HTC Wizard, dubbed M300 from Orange)
Thanks
We are using a Beta Test Rom on the tornado (qtek 8310) but there is an official released rom for your device from Imate I think.
Have a quick search for wizard rom
I found this it may be what you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44022&highlight=wizard+rom
Many Thanks, I'll try it out
@footang:
Your device has AKU2/MSFP if the connection manager has a Microsoft Direct push button.
You need to set up the activesync exchange connection on your wizard with that button engaged to get direct push with no SMS required. I posted specifics in the Wizard forum.
I have been having with all the ROM's (and I have tried haykuro, JF, Rogers cyano, ramjet, virtudude etc. with the same error message 'cannot create the account, please try again later.'
Now, Moxier, RoadSync Beta and Touchdown all work just fine with the same inputs (SSL, exchange server name, user, passwd, domain etc.) I am giving the HTC mail app.
I Think the problem is ISA. My company uses ISA security.
All the 3rd party apps (Moxier, TD etc.) all support ISA, but I don't think the HTC mail app supports it.
Reason for this post is two-fold:
-I know there were/are others who are in the same boat, thought I'd at least pass this along
-Question is, the new Mytouch 3G announced clearly mentions Exchange support, so I am wondering how that can be since I have tried all variations/ROM's based on cupcake here already with no avail.
The only thing I haven't tried is the stock cupcake update which i don' think has Exchange? So does the MyTouch have a customized ROM or would ISA probably not work on MyTouch as well?
I am guessing the later?

I think i know what is the issue, the account you are trying to create is Secured, and HTC mail client is not secured, and you will have the same issue with MyTouch 3G ,i tried it myself and i've got the same error (

Hi,
Have a look at this Thread
There are some issues with the exchange client, it could also be your server setup, check out Brian's comments in the thread.
That might help.
Cheers,
Jon
Make certain you are on Exchange 2007, 03 has way too many issues w/mobile devices, 07 has many designs based around mobile.
About the Exchange thing:
I imagine they're using advertising speak to say that you can get your Exchang email - which is possible over IMAP (depending on your Exchange server settings, obviously).
From what I understand, Google won't allow the "with Google" tag on phones that include ActiveSync.
The MyTouch3G most definitely is "with Google". So it's probably the IMAP thing.
I think it is the ISA issue. I also have the same problem with the stock HTC activesync exchange software. ISA option is the only difference I notice between the stock HTC activesync and the 3rd party apps (touchdown, moxier, etc)

huh? this is not my decision to make. My company uses 2003, that's that. Dunno if/when they will upgrade to 2007, point was that 2003 works fine with Moxier, TD and Roadsync, that is all the other 3rd party apps work, only the HTC app doesn't work.
exchange contacts sync
Here is my issue with exchange. it sync all my contacts. after about a day, it comes back with 'client server conversion error' only way to fix it is to delete the account and start over. Any ideas on this one?

linked directly from this very link you posted:
http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/google/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218100660
where i work we use Zimbra which has an "exchange" server. It utterly fails on any HTC exchange support
touchdown works perfectly, iphone exchange works perfectly. Pre exchange works perfectly.
Right now this is the single biggest "fail" with android.
So anybody know if the Exchange s/w that comes with cupcake will do better than HTC's s/w? (i.e. will/does it have ISA access)?
It's too much work to try it out, would have to downgrade down to RC29->RC30->cupcake. And i would lose root?
I guess it would be too much to ask if someone on this board would be:
-running cupcake (stock)
-have an ISA exchange account to test with
*sigh*, this is literally the ONLY thing I hate about Android.

there is zero support for exchange most official builds. the builds that do have it, use HTC's poor implementation.

Here are some of my observations.
-JAC Hero - my HTC exchange works fine. Just can't seem to include original email in replies. I can't cut/paste either. No HTML.
**is this the same in Rogers builds?
-Dudes Rogers - wouldn't create account similar to you issue. Went back to hero.
JAC Hero - I reinstalled, but did not set up email durin begining phone setup. Later when configuring it would connect, show my folders, then fail to create account. I did a logcat and it is trying to delte an account that does not exist.
JAC Hero - reflashed and setup during phone setup and it works fine.
***anybody know the difference for HTC mail between Rogers and Hero??
I'd like to give Rogers a more solid try but need exchange.

I got the same issues that you have with contacts i have tried the ravenge rom, The dudes rom and they i end up with the same error client server conversation error, sometimes i get "error occurred on the computer running the exchange server" and the only way to get rid of it if to delete the account and try again i have 586 contacts... My colleague has a G1 and running any of the above mentioned Rom's he gets no errors he has 150 contacts.
It could be that its toooo many contacts for the sync to handle, i have created a new Exchange account imported my 586 contacts and i will let you know how it goes in a day.
I cant live without exchange!!!! and i don't fancy buying touchdown (even though it works really well)
help solving this issue will be higly appreciated

Then go get a Windows Mobile phone people are trying to help you, no need to be so impatient. Who can you really blame if it is a compatibility issue between Exchange 2003 and the app? HTC or your company for not keeping things up to date?
Also, I wouldn't say this thread belongs in Android development.

I have the same problems... I have 138 contacts. I plan to back them up and strip there content down, like removing comments and contact images and see if that helps.
I have two ActiveSync exchange accounts I need to set up...one sets up fine (no domain) but the other continues to error out. They are the same settings I used on my Droid Charge for the two weeks I had it, the same settings I used on my G2 for the year I had it, and even works in Touchdown on the D3, but not on the standard software on the phone...
Anybody else successfully setup an exchange account with domain?

I set mine up with domain, as I did a thousand times on Tbolt. Piece of cake. Immediately go into manual of course and go from there. I have not set up two accounts however.
Are you using a self signed SSL certificate? I'm waiting back for official word from Motorola, but I think the Droid 3 doesn't support it, which makes no sense since every other droid has (and Android in general).
I fear for what Blur is going to do to this phone.
lol, the blur on this phone is better than any android skin or aosp... by far.... and i'm coming from a DX and hate blur.
I've had a droid since day one, I can't wait to get asop or cyanogen running on this. I love the hardware and speed of the phone, but after running cyanogen the last 1+ years, its hard to live with the stock moto blur
I agree, cant wait to get CM on this. The bloatware sucks, and although the phone is fast I know it would be a lot faster on CM....
for now though, I'm actually not annoyed with blur (yet)

I'm not sure, I just know that SSL is needed for the account settings to work, and that my account works fine in Touchdown, but when I set it up in the stock "email" app, it errors out. And yes, I'm connecting manually and inputting the correct server address...

Im getting the same issue, trying to load up my regular email account.
I manually put all the right values in, as I have in the desktop email program, thunderbird, to no avail.
Anyone got a clue what is wrong?
I was able to sync my work exchange account no problem, went pretty easy.
What are you guys trying to connect to?
Exchange Server ? Do you know what version?

Just my regular ISP's email account.
UPDATE: Went to my ISP's site for instructions. Seems on the android, Mediacom wants secure authentication to retrieve emails.
Thunderbird doesn't require that to log in, for some reason.
Touchdown, which works with this account on the D3 btw, says this:
Connection Mode: ActiveSync ONLY
"Uses SSL" and "Fetch and trust certificate (not recommended)" are both checked.
When I go to Refresh ActiveSync Settings in Touchdown it says:
Versions:Microsoft-IIS/7.0,1.0,2.0,2.1,2.5,12.0,12.1
Policies:SET
Again, this email account has been properly setup on:
Droid Charge running 2.2
T-Mobile G2 running CM7 and CM6
T-Mobile MyTouch Slide running CM7
Yet, when I put in the settings into EMAIL on the Droid 3 it comes back with "Error: Count not connect to server."
Ive noticed one thing with exchange emails the last couple days and wanted to see if others were having it.
Has anyone had emails cut off, like its only loading some of the message. I get daily email updates on some xda threads, and it seems if they are very long it cuts it off and you can't read the whole message. Didn't have this problem on my old droid so must be something in motorolas new setup.

I've seen it, but I'm not seeing it right now when I check my email. Perhaps I changed a setting but I do remember having to select something to see the rest of the email.

Motorola's software isn't defective and works as intended. The corporate sync doesn't trust self signed certificates. But there are ways to work around this and later set the account to not verify it's certificates. First you need to either setup the account while on wifi on the same network or setup activesync to answer http requests. Meaning allow insecure connections. Once you do this you can setup the account insecurely, then goto settings -> accounts -> the email account in question and deselect the verify certificates option. Yes I agree that motorola is a pain for doing this, but the device is actually more secure disallowing self signed certificates.
I have to use K-9 Mail for my corporate, since Motorola doesn't support self-signed certificates.

I cannot setup the account while on the same wifi network, as there is no wifi allowed on that network. How do I "setup activesync to answer http requests?" Thanks for the above info and your help in the future with this.
If its any conciliation I cannot get my work mail to sync regardless of allowing or disallowing the self signed certificate. I will have to try it over WiFi to see if that helps, and I wasn't trying to use exchange either.
I do however consider the mail client defective as I did not have this issue on previous Moto Android 2.2 devices.
Is anyone else here on 2.3.6 with their Note (Rooted and CWM Kernel also) having problems with Exchange email?
I use a hosted exchange provider for my email, and have seen this issue before with Samsung (and some HTC) devices where Exchange Activesync just doesn't seem to work. I had this issue before with an AT&T Galaxy Tab I had tried a different ROM on to enable the phone radio in the Tab. It would never sync email, but the stock ROM would.
I know the account was added to the Note correctly, because I didn't get any error messages during setup, and I also got the prompt to confirm the security configuration change (to allow remote wipe, etc). The device also shows up correctly in the mobile device listing in Outlook Web Access in my account.
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this, and what you did to fix it? Not really interested in a 3rd-party mail client like Touchdown, etc. Would prefer to use native apps.
Thanks, please advise.

If you want it for gmail, try this.
Go to Email - entre gmail credential - select manual setup - select exchange active sync - keep user ID n PW as it is n add m.google.com in server field, finish setup with rest of as per your desire
Thanks, but I am not interested in Gmail. I have already added a secondary gmail account and it works just fine.
I am trying to get a true Exchange (Corporate, of sorts) email account working. It kinda acts like it wants to work (I am seeing some Exchange calendar entries) but no emails or contacts yet... <sigh>

Mine is working fine. It sync my email with the exchange server. Im using Rocket ROM.
Using exchange exclusively also (hosted server) never had a problem. I tried with stock, then 2 different cooked roms. All worked perfectly. Am on latest rocky now.
Sent from a biga$$ Galaxy Note using XDA premium
Exchange email pushed OK, but calendar push never
Outlook email is pushed correct, but calendar never. Which application do you use for view/sync exchange calendar ?
Running a stock pre-rooted rom with locked bootloader (yes i tried stock as well). And have a problem with exchange. I have added an exchange account but it doesn't pull my calendar, and i'm often told that exchange services have stopped working. If i go into accounts and do a manual update, it sometimes stops duo to " exchange services have[...]" and sometimes it updates fine. But when i open google cal there's no exchange info..
This worked in kitkat, but since the L update i've not been able to get it to work.
Any suggestions ?

I have not been able to send Exchange mail since upgrading to Lollipop. Fortunately I have a cloud mailbox, so Outlook for Android works for me.
I may look at the Exchange problem again once they get the Xposed bootloop issue solved.
My gmail works fine as well, but exchange keeps crashing. I was told that each brand can build their own exchange app, so it would seem that the sony exchange app is bad.
I use the regular 'email' app in Lollipop for Exchange, seems to work fine.
It can be policies that your Exchange server is pushing to your phone.
Outlook.com works fine on my personal phone.
I've seen some more reports from Exchange-services misbehaving in the Lollipop build, specially (but not only) people upgrading from .690 to .726.
Factory reset helped in those cases.
