Stock email

I want to use the stock email app. But I am needing to reset the tab every now and then to get the emails to come through. It attempts to connect and nothing happens. If I then do a reset it will work normal again.I am using a hotmail account. Any solutions to this problem?without changing the app or email account. Anyone else have this issue?

Instead of resetting, go to accounts, sync, and click on the hotmail account to re-sync.
I checked this. Doesn't have hotmail listed in there.

i guess you can't do a sync with Hotmail .. yahoo anf Gmail only ..
Just forward your hotmail to a gmail account.

Facebook contacts not showing..

I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?

go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?

Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?

Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

[Q] Setting up a Hotmail account

Hello.
I've never done this before and could use some help. In the E-mail app that is in the phone from teh start you can choose "Microsoft exchange" or "Other".
Should I choose Exchange when setting up a Hotmail account?
I'm not really sure what Exchange is so I just wanted to be sure before I try it.
Thank you in advance.
Choose other for setting up hotmail, I don't even think it is possible to use exchange for setting up a hotmail

Exchange is what is typically used in office enviroments. If you dont have any joy setting up hotmail in the email client, there is an official hotmail app in the google play store.

I used exchange for setting up a hotmail account, but it will not keep incoming mails for long (only for 1-2 days). Maybe some setting is wrong with my set up.

SYNCING APPLICATIONS- what's the purpose???

Hey
I know it may be dumb to ask but is their a need to sync Facebook or social media apps with your phone? I'm Abit confused of the benefits? I have Google contacts synced to phone which i think will sync my new contacts so I'm fine with that but everything else is it really useful or is it better to have them auto sync turned off for battery life...
Cheers

I dont turn on my sync still i get the update in facebook, google mail, apps, and yahoo mail. I dont know what is the purpose of sync?
Its better to turn it off for added battery life.
That's what I'm thinking but I'm scarred to turn off Google as I want my phone contacts always backed up. That's the only one I have synced at the moment.

What's push and is their a option for that??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
yep when checking settings in email and accounts I think there are options there. At least for Exchange mail. Gmail its already push, dont think you can change it.
Always just check every setting within app as wel, Facebook has push for direct messages I think.
synch is old school, poll server, updates found download, repeat proces every few minutes
push, not entirely like blackberry but close, servers sees email and sends it to phone to download. Hence push.

Basically I sync all my contacts and photos with my google account so it will never be deleted unless I do
Syncing is to exchange the things between two accounts EG. Contacts & Google and if you lose the things on one account you can recover from the other account you synced by enabling the sync option again or you can delete on other also by syncing again
Its up to you
Hey
Thanx everyone for the advice. I think having Google contacts is a must just incase I add new contacts etc and I've synced my dropbox But apps like Facebook and whatsapp and twitter are so not needed so I've taken them all off. I can't understand why anyone would want to sync twitter or whatsapp lol just ludacris.
