Very happy with my new HD2. However i have a problem with my push gmail, or maybe it is an exchange problem in general, don't know. When i set up an exchange account with google server, i should be able to recieve push email, sync my calender and contacts and so on. On my previous phone (samsung omnia2) it worked like a charm. Somebody sends my an email on my gmail adres, and within 30 secs i received the mail. Same with outlook calender, it synced immediately.
With my HD2 (rom version 1.43.404.1 NLD) my mails don't arrive instantly! sometimes it takes over two houres before i receive something. Same with calender and contacts. I tried a hard reset of my device. First thing afterwards was settingup google exchange, and it worked again. Then i added a second mail account, set this account to auto receive every two houres and the problem with the exchange account comes back! the strange thing is when i watch my active sync status on my phone, it says connected, and when i send a mail from my pc, a couple of seconds later i see activesync syncing, like its receiving the mail, but it doesn't show in my mailbox, no poppup, nothing... only few houres later, suddenly i get the mail...
my exchange account is set to 'receive on arrival of items' should be push, also, comm manager says push activated....
sounds familiar to anybody?
I think this was a problem on gmails end yesterday, bearing in mind that gmail push is in beta. I had the same on my i8910, where previously gmail push was working perfectly.

and do you have a second, normal email account? It's from the moment i created the second account i ran into trouble...
tried reverse order? email first then exchange?
maybe after a hard-reset
I haven't got a HD2 but on my TP if I go out of coverage area for a time and then come back in, my activesync doesn't always reconnect. Saying that I have noticed it a lot less since banging a 6.5 rom on there. I have to add I am not using google sync, I am using fast hosts. I am going to migrate to google sync after this month to save some pennies so I hope it works good by then.
I ONLY have google exchange sync, it synched my calendar and contacts in seconds, and the e-mail FOLDERs, but not a single message. i left it 8 hours... (i've checked the messages to only do 1 week, 3 days, whatever)
i've tried soft reseting, two hard resets, ONLY e-mail, no e-mail, toggling e-mail. it will not retrieve any messages. in the end im using IMAP but its very frustrating/!
anyone got any other suggestions?
-------
oh and to add insult to injury my iphone 3GS is sitting here merrily binging away everytime i get en e-mail!
If you are doing a send/receive for a folder this will not work you have to select the folders to sync by putting a tickbox in each one and then let it do its stuff.
Before I did this on mine all I saw was folders and no content (apart from the inbox)
Hope this helps.
but i just want my inbox to sync? which it does not.. and there is no checkbox next to that one, its in bold, which i assume means that one has to sync by default?
for me it does work right now. My solution was to delete my windows PC active sync connection. before, i synced with windows to get my contacts and calender, and then afterwards i set up my exchange connection. But from the moment i deleted the Windows PC connection, and working only with exchange everything works pefectly! Even created a second pop email account, refreshing every two houres, my push connection still works fine....
Ok, i figured out my issue, and im surprise dit isnt documented anywher eon google,i found it on one of their forums and a member there discovered it, not a google Mod.
If you have subfolder under your inbox, it wont work.
i.e. if you have any "/" in your google mail labels (which is how GMAIL sets itself up if you use outlookwith IMAP on it),then it wont sync
i had sub folder sin outlook, so in gmail they becme labels such as:
Inbox/Ebay
Inbox/personal
and the "/" trips up the exchange sync. which seems very strange considering that the phone correctly recognises them as labels.

So it means that there is no way it will sync the emails under these labels?
I tried re-entering my details yesterday, after having it on hourly retrieval for a few days. Now sync appears to be working fine, from others reporting similar it looks like Google was doing some work on it for a few days that was breaking new sync setups.
now it works fine

Hey all,
I've been having some problems with POP3 and gmail on my TyTN/8525. That problem being: it doesn't work anymore. It worked great for about a week, then just stopped working for no apparent reason. I didn't change any of my gmail settings during this time.
After it stopped working, I randomly got 5 of the 100+ e-mails that I was suppsoed to get. Gmail is receiving them fine and I can see them when I login to gmail, they just don't get downloaded when my phone pops it. I can send e-mail through gmail's pop fine.
Anyone have a clue what my problem might be?
Thanks,
Todd

Which wireless provider?
Have you tried deleting the Gmail account on the TyTn and then re-adding it?
Can you POP3 access it from you'r home computer etc (to make sure it is not a Gmail issue)?
If these do not help post you're setup so we can take a look
I think the problem seems to stem from the fact that Gmail breaks down your messages in groups, like around 300 or so messages at a time. On top of that, Pocket IE doesn't download the full messages by default and, as such, leaves a copy of the messages on the server. I think when this happens, Gmail doesn't prepare the next "group" of messages to send to you. Also, Pocket IE, by default, is set to show only messages from the last 3 days, so even though it may have downloaded a bunch of messages, you'll only see the ones that are 3 days old or less. You'll want to uncheck that option.
Try setting up your account as you normally would in the desktop mail app of your choice, Outlook Express for example. Make sure it isn't set to leave a copy of the messages on the server. If Outlook Express didn't download the first group of messages, make sure to do a manual send and receive. That will hopefully tell Gmail to prepare your next group of messages. Alternate Send/Receives with your phone and Gmail until you get to your most recent messages. Also, try putting recent in front of your user name, IE, "recent:[email protected]" instead of just your user name/e-mail address.
i find with gmail that it stops working every few weeks and i have to go into gmail on my pc and re-check the Get all pop email from now, ( it seems there are too many emails to be sent down )
using the "recent:" prefix before your login in your outlook username should fix this.

I configured the WM6 email application to pull my gmail, however it's not pulling just the stuff from my gmail inbox, but also stuff that's been moved to my deleted/spam folder via filters i've created.
what i'd like to do is
- just pull stuff from my inbox
- only keep 1 or 2 days worth of gmail messages on my phone
Is this possible? I tried the java gmail client but it was awful.
Try emoze for gmail.

Well, I installed emoze but have no idea how to use it. I went to download the user manual from emoze.com but it says it's not available because it's being updated.
I'm using the gmail gateway, no PC involved at all, I ran emoze and entered my username, password and configured the various options, after that it said something about synching, reached 100% and now nothing.
It just shows my username, a greyed out send box, a sign out box, log, settings and accounts button as well as an OK in the upper right. I have no idea how to get or send email via gmail with this app.
Sheesh, the MS application actually pulls down email from my outbox when i send it from my PC. Nice.
I also registered for the emoze forums but need to wait for someone to approve my application.
ok, i think i see, looks like it created a mail account in messages by itself. however i didnt really get a chance to look because my battery is almost dead. apparently i'm going to have to tweak how often messages are pulled. my battery is fine all day with every 10 minutes for exchange, but adding emoze drained it in a few hours.

If you click on the Accounts button and then Open Account (there should already be one account installed there already by now), you can select "push every 30 minutes" for instance. When it's not pushing, emoze goes into "sleep" mode. So battery drain should not be much of an issue. Incidentally, you may STILL select "Always On". Your mileage may vary i suppose...
And you can select your own range of Active Hours. Mine is only on manual i.e. only turned on when I'm on the move. Otherwise, I have my gmail account (the one that's tagged to emoze) to automatically forward email to any of of my OTHER gmail or POP accounts (the ones I use on my desktop at the office daily)
Not as ideal as "always on" blackberry email, but I stopped paying for my blackberry account coz, long term, it just ain't worth it for me. (I was using my Blackberry account on my Dopod 838Pro)
One man's meat... (and all that).
Does Gmail calendar sync work? I keep selecting that checkbox, but when I go back to that screen it's unchecked and no calendar events are being pulled down.

I assume the calendar sync on Emoze is supposed to work with Google Calendar (?).
In any case, I don't use it since I only sync the onboard organizer items (Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Contacts) with my Outlook PST file at home or office via Activesync/PocketInformant .
Can anyone help me out. I seem to be getting my messages around 7 to 10 minutes from the time it hits my desktop. I have set the settings to As items arrive on both peak and off peak and set that MON through to Sun.
Secondly as soon as I send an email from the phone it sends a copy to my inbox and cant seem to turn that off.
In Google Mail, I have Imap enabled but POP3 turned off.
Thanks for the help guys.
Just trying to prop this to top to see if anyone has a tip or two :-(
Got the same problem. Found a solution? Anyone else?
For the copy to inbox issue, check that you choose "Reply" and not "Reply all"
I've come to the conclusion that ActiveSync to Google services is not worth the hassle.
Four main reasons mobile GMail is a "fail" for me:
1/ Receiving ActiveSync messages is no-where NEAR real-time.
Example, I sent my GMail account a message 45mins ago. I can see it in my GMail inbox, but even though my activesync status shows as "connected" it's yet to appear on my phone.
Edit: OK, I just qualified my testing - msgs sent to GMail are near-instant. Messages sent to my pop3 account, which gmail checks, take considerable time to come through.
2/ Syncing existing Calendar appointments SPAMS all meeting attendees!
Example, I synced my phone calendar to gmail via ActiveSync, and gmail decided that it should send out a NEW meeting invitation to all recipients of every past & future appointment I'd ever *accepted*.
Old appointments like the 2009 Company Christmas Party were re-sent to everyone in the company from my GMail account!
I was not a popular boy.
3/ Sync'd Contact photos are very poor quality. Try it!
The online photo is extremely bad quality compared to the original in your phone. This becomes even more of an issue if you wipe your phone and re-download them from google. You've now just lost your original HQ photo.
4/ With Gmail set as an activesync connection, you're unable to change your reply-to address. You're forced to send as your gmail.com account.
With regular POP/SMTP, you can "send-as" any address you want. Gmail is not my primary email address, and I don't want people replying to it.
So for me, I've reverted to POP/SMTP for emails (send/receive every 10mins), and the MS My Phone service for backing up contacts, calendar, etc.

In all fairness, Gmail had some pretty serious outages the last couple of days. If the email has been even slower lately, that's probably why.
That said, I found the Gmail Activesync solution pretty unreliable as well.

Dont know whether anything in this will help?? I'm not using Gmail .. sorry
I don't have a problem using Google Sync. It's pretty instantaneous (almost on par with Blackberry). Just make sure you've set Activesync to receive items as soon as they arrive on both peak and off peak times (or set whatever interval you're comfortable with).
Yes. My only gripe is with the crap contact photos that are resynced back to the phone. GRRR!!
Works fine for me most of the time, but apparently for the past 15h or so it keeps failing, wanting me to resync everything every 20mins saying the Exchange server had a problem and not giving me all elememts that should be there.
hmm.. got no problem in the last 24h..
someone response in the pict of me and my wifey, we both got the notification almost the same time.. (my wife's using Blackberry)
While trying to find a solution to my unrelated mail problem I came across this .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584167
i don't think ActiveSync is as reliable (at least for gmail) on Windows Mobile as it is for iPhone. I have both set up to push all day and without fail the iPhone gets my mail first. sometimes it can take up to ten minutes for mail to arrive on my HD2. I even don't always get it when I push send/receive. This problem has continued for weeks, regardless of whether I use a stock or custom ROM
Another annoyance I'm having lately is that even though my phone is set to retrieve ALL mail I'm only getting mail from as far back as february. this is also happening on my iPhone and had been an issue for weeks now. Anyone know what might be the cause???
Maybe your mail from before Feb is not in yout "Inbox" anymore, but archived (visible in "All mail")?
Hello
I have the same problem. The service is quite slow. My friend has Iphone and is arrives in 5 seconds.
I also hate the low res contact pics that get sync'd, have not been able to figure out why yet.
thats weird, i just set up push gmail today, and i receive emails at the EXACT same time as my desktop google talk... that is, around 2-3 seconds after emailing myself from another account
I was just setting up the google sync on my phone but I was unable to "check mark" the calendar and contacts, is that because I didnt set this up on the computer? I keep seeing people say active sync so I guess I have to do this on the computer?
Sorry for bringing an old thread up, just playing with my HD2 and thought I would use the search box and see if anyone had some answers..
Thanks

How do you retract the invites emails from gmail??
oh dear, you too?
AFAIK, you can't recall or retract messages sent from GMail.
Fortunately I am an Exchange Admin for my company, and used the ExMerge tool to sweep everyone's mailboxes & calendars to *move* to PST any messages received during that finite time window starting with "Invitation: " (I think it was).
Unfortunately ExMerge can't sweep based on the sender.
I have set up my DHD to sync with exchange 2003 email account (push email option). Everything syncs fine but sometimes when new emails arrive they dissapear from then phone. I loose older mails I received that day. It keeps receiving new emails but the ones that have disappeared do no come back.
The email are there on the exchange server and can read thme from my PC but cannot see them on the phone even if I sync manually.
When I delete the account and set it up again the emails reappear but this is very annoying. Has anyone experienced similar problems? ANy solutions?
Go to Menu:
Settings
Accounts & sync
Exchange
Account settings
Sync events for past
Then you have the choice of
2 weeks
1 month
3 months
6 months
All
Hope this helps.
It does not work. My seetings are for 30 days. The emails I am missing are of the same day. Only a few, the ones below and above are still there. One way of bringning thme back is to move them to another folder on the PC and then move thme baxck to inbox. When I do that and I sync again they appear.
Hi,
I'm using the stock EMAIL app that comes on the phone (not sure if this is the stock Jelly bean app or a Samsung version). I'm using it because it works with my work's Exchange email/calendar nicely. I also have a Gmail account and my personal Email (my own website with email support) which is IMAP. The Exchange and Gmail seem to work fine. I have Exchange setup for push and I'll sometime get emails even before my desktop/Outlook see them. I don't use Gmail that much (only a couple emails a week) so I set it up to sync every 4 hours and that seems fine.
My personal IMAP account I get probably 30 email a day. I set up the program to sync every 10 minutes. It seems to just stop syncing for some reason I cant figure out. For example today, I received several emails overnight and a couple in the morning and the phone synced them fine. When I got to work and checked ~11am I had 5 messages waiting (using Thunderbird on my desktop) and when I checked the phone it didn't have them. If I go to the Inbox it says last sync was at 8:49am. The program will then do a sync and presto, all 5 messages popped up. But now all day the phone will not sync unless I go check my inbox which appears to force a sync.
So I know the information (account, password,..) are OK since it manually syncs no problem. I didn't try today but in the past if I change the sync interval to something else (5 or 15 minutes) it seems to sync for a while and then stop again. I tried deleting the account and then re-created it and that seemed to work for a while.
I have "sync while roaming set" and I do not set up a peak sync schedule so it should always be the same.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
