Just discovered what seems to be a bug/incompatibility with calendar invites that are sent from Outlook 2010 do not display the time and date information for a meeting on my Vibrant. However, if a meeting is sent using Outlook 2003 (I haven’t tested 2007), the full meeting information is displayed properly.
Is this Android 2.1 incompatibility or just with Samsung Vibrant implementation?
Much appreciate any input
Cheers…
Just an FYI, I'm having this issue (along with another co-worker) and we both have HTC Evo's.
We are running 2.2 (froyo) and have the same exact issue. Invites from 2003 or 2007 work fine, but invites sent from Outlook 2010 have a blank body (no information regarding the date or time of the meeting).
We are also running Office 2010. Hope this info helps.
I have a ticket opened to android at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15666
After destroying my HD2 accidentally I received a Streak after claiming for a replacement (gold insurance). I was running Android on the HD2.
Disappointed to find it's only Android 1.6, I understood it came with 2.1 installed with a Froyo update imminent.
It's very important to me that I have my contacts, email and calendar syncing with my zarafa server (hosted on my website and managed by me).
It was a real downer to find activesync is not enabled on the Streak but at least there was touchdown to use for a trial period.
I filled in the correct details but no matter what I did Touchdown couldn't connect with my server, I kept getting an error (from "Refresh Activesync Settings") something about Policies and an error ":200" (I think as the problem is now resolved).
I could find the odd thing about this error after googling it, but no reports of fixing the problem.
After many hours of searching I decided to update my zarafa installation to see if that fixed the problem (I'm running 4.20) but before that I thought I'll upgrade z-push (easy bits first).
One upgrade of Z-push later, and a restart of zarafa and touchdown works a treat (contacts not showing up in the phone's main contacts but I assume that's just a setting).
In a nutshell if you get this error and youre using z-push try using 1.4.2 as that's what fixed it for me.
Hopefully this will help someone.
For me I had to set "loose-provisioning" to true for it to work with Touchdown.
But you should really think about upgrading Zarafa as there were several enhancement regarding Z-Push.

Probably, but the version I'm running offers everything I need and I'm a big believer in if it ain't broke don't fix it .
I do know my version works fine with Froyo.
Having said all that I also like to tinker, and just backed up the db so maybe I'll have a shot at upgrading next week.
Anyone else experienced Exchange support is just a mess in Froyo?
- can't edit a lot of previous appointments i made myself in my Outlook calendar at work. Can't figure out the precise conditions under which this occurs, when i create new testappointments this does not occur of course.
- recurring appointments have turned into meetings, showing myself as the only attendee.
- my wife's Hero running Froyo reduces all day event start dates one day at a time every time the all day event is opened for editing (making the all day events last 2,3,4,5,6 days and so on)
- my wife's Hero turns all day events into meetings as soon as they are opened, but only if they are opened via the standard calendar app, not through the Agenda Widget (Rolf Harrisons)
And i see a lot of other Exchange bugs mentioned on all aother Froyo phones (i.e. Nexus). Code.Google.com is full of Exchange related rants.
I can't remember Eclair suffering from this, to me Froyo is a big f#*k up on Exchange support.
Both phones have been Factory Resetted after installing Froyo.
I'll start looking into Touchdown because both our phones have major issues with Exchange accounts.
I haven't encountered the calendar issues yet but have seen the email app turned into a nonfunctioning fc when trying to access exchange on Froyo. I tried Touchdown but it was almost as laggy. I've found Roadsync to be better. Sadly neither of them syncs with the Android calendar app.
I need users who are using exchange servers to please do the following for me:
Send yourself a test e-mail from a non exchange account like hotmail, ymail, yahoo, gmail, etc. Or heck, PM me and I'll mail you.
Reply to that e-mail from your Xoom
Note whether or not the reply actually sends or sits in your outbox

Thanks, I guess I should look up what a Zimbra server is but I assume that you set it up the same way in the Xoom as an Exchange server account?
Xoom: wifi
Android: 3.1
Exchange: 2007
My reply: sends everytime (assuming connected to wifi )
also, I should ask, have you tried deleting and reconfiguring the mail account?

No I have not, but I will do that right now.
Zimbra is an Open Source alternative to Exchange. Has 90% of all the stuff Exchange does and takes up all of $300.00 bucks a year of our budget. Which I could not pay if I wanted too, but I like it too much not not support development of it. FOSS FTW!
I deleted and reconfigured the account, careful to include DOMAIN/username and use the fully qualified domain name that my SSL certificate is named after and the results were the same:
I can generate new e-mail, which is sent fine.
I cannot respond to e-mail, it sits in the outbox.
Maddening.
Can anyone on Exchange 2003 test this?
I had the same issue last week. I haven't done any further testing, but I do think we have an exchange 2003 server.
Xoom Model: Wifi
Android OS should be: 3.1
Exchange Server Version: 2010
Did your reply send: Yes
Worked fine for me.
I am on:
XOOM (rooted, Tiamat 1.4.2, HC 3.1)
Microsoft Exchange 2003
My reply emails hang in the outbox. They don't send.
i use 2003 SP2. stock unrooted xoom wifi.
all works well.
however, last week i had a 3G launch day (feb 24) xoom and last week *I* had an issue where the emails sat in the outbox. i then, later that day it happened, received a security update OTA from the server. this may have been what the intermittent issue was.
now let me say the emails started flowing thru before i got this update. i would guess my downtime was a couple hours. i did not delete my account. it just "corrected" itself.
ill also add that i have an evo on the same server and it did not stop sending emails at all. so this may be a honey OS thing...

Does not work, hangs in outbox.
I got fed up of the stock email client and moved to touchdown. The problem i was having was sync weren't working properly, all of a sudden stopped syncing.
I have exchange 2003, touchdown works fine

I have not tried touchdown but after reading the user reviews I think that the UI will be terrible, and UI is important to me.
So far now, I will make due with being unable to respond to some users until this sorts itself out.
I like the TD UI, it's made for tablets now too (I didn't know that until I bought my Xoom two weeks ago). I use it on my HTC Inc too, and have never had any issues. I think you can use TD as a trial version for 30 days (?) to test it out and see how you'll like it.
We run Exchange 2007, and I use my Xoom 3.1 rooted and Inc rooted with out issues.

Did your reply send: No - Hangs in out box, hitting send all now does nothing.
Other bugs noticed:
Text entry cursor seems out of wack, doesn't show up in the same place as the movable green pointer. This also seems the affect the text black selection brackets. Very language (laggy), many edits to this post to make it readable
Wifi oddities with releasing and renewing IPs between two bssids.
Web browser not displaying some dynamic page elements properly, example - there is no scroll bar on this text entry box...making this post even more interesting (I have XDA Premium, but I like to torture myself).
This is all on stock 3.1, non root, locked Xoom
Omg...I give up

I am willing to bet the problem is being caused by the changes made to activesync between ES2K3 and ES2K7. If I had to really guess it has to do with the 3.1's handling of ActiveSync connections and their dependence on policy based permissions inherited from ActiveSync. Unfortunately ActiveSync from ES2K3 did not support the use of ActiveSync policies, that feature was not added until ES2K7. That's why until the release of Exchange 2007 the only truly viable corporate messaging systems were based on BlackBerry servers.
I retired my 2K3 infrastructure 2 years ago, but I believe I still have the virtual machine builds from my test environment I can load up and test the theory.
Let me start by saying this is a great forum!! I've been a long time lurker here and have learned quite a bit.
I do alot of software development and always have a few phones in my possession so I find this a great central place to find whatever I need.
Saying all that, I have a few phones from the Android side (Atrix 4G, SGS II, Exhibit II 4G).
I typically have to configure at least 1 Exchange 2010 Account, plus 2 or 3 IMAP accounts on each phone. Right now I am carrying the SGS II.
With Firmware 2.3.3 Exchange 2010 synch's properly and all the emails are kept up-to-date. The read status, reply status and forward status all get synch'd correctly. IMAP however, does not synch the REPLY or FORWARD status so this is a great nuisance when you are holding your phone and trying to figure out which emails got responded to and which didnt.
I've since tried Firmware 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6.
2.3.4 behaves the same way as 2.3.3.
2.3.5 and 2.3.6 FIX the IMAP issues and they now synch their REPLY and FORWARD status BUT, Exchange 2010 account always shows FORWARDED whenever you reply to an email.
Does anyone know how to get a working email system on ANY Android O/S so that you can synch Exchange 2010 and IMAP accounts properly??
I have in addition to the 3 Android phones, an iPhone 4S and a Samsung Focus and recently got rid of my Blackberry Torch. I've never had this much trouble getting email to work properly on a phone.
I would think Email would be the first application that gets updated and tested on the phone since most people live by email these days.
Any insight would be appreciated.
