[Q] E-mail sync w/ Hotmail stops

Apologies up front if this has been addressed, but I couldn't find a answer.
My wife has a Samsung Fascinate (stock). I've set up, using the stock e-mail client, her hotmail account. After setting this up, everything seems to sync ok (contacts, e-mail) initially, then continues to work for the next few days. For some reason that I have yet to figure out, the sync simply stops working. She usually complains after a day or two that she hasn't gotten any e-mail on her phone, although she can see it on her PC.
Anyone else run into this? It's not a Windows Live 'Pro' account, but the fact that I can initially sync makes me think such an account is not needed.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Calendar not synching?

My HTC calendar widget has stopped working it just shows the "Loading" text and even if you go into the calendar app no events are present. Going to Sync/Accounts and selecting my Google account shows the circular arrow next to "Sync Calendar" - not sure if this means it is trying to sync, but it is there all the time and the arrow is not animated. I don't think this is to do with the Calendar app specifically, since if I use the Google widget nothing shows up there either.
Occasionally, it will work after I reset the phone, but otherwise it is mostly stuck in this state. Any tips on how to diagnose the problem or how to get it working again?

I have the same issue. I found out that when I am also using the Exchange ActiveSync calendar account sync - the calendar's functionality malfunctions more often.
I too have yet to fully understand the root cause for this isseue.
One thing, though, when calendar is stuck in syncing, it consumed a lot of cpu and it blocks other apps from working properly.
I would really appreciate more comments regarding this issue.
Thanks!

Does anything sync and do you ahve the sync service running?

It sometimes works, sometimes not. When it does, UK Holidays, Facebook and my standard Google Calendar syncs, but other calendars on GC do not. They show up on the calendars list fine, but they are not displayed. Actually now looking at it, it seems it may just be loading a cache of previous information, since there's events on the calendar that I've sinced deleted. The sync service I'm pretty sure is running, called Sync and Accounts under OSmonitor? That one's running. Everything else on my phone (Friend Stream, mail, weather) syncs fine, it's just this damned calendar.
I hadn't noticed the Exchange ActiveSync calendar prior to this - it was set to sync even though I don't have anything on it. I have since disabled it and it seems to have improved slightly, but the calendar still shows up calendars list. I've emailed HTC about this, hopefully they'll have some idea of how to fix it.

Ok quick update - HTC emailed me telling me to clear the cache. Having done so (and disabling ActiveSync which I wasn't using anyways) my calendar seems to be working. Anybody with this problem might want to try this and see if it works.

Same as you, I had lot of sync problems with Exchange. It was completely unreliable, until I discovered Laurie's blog !

I installed the Google stock 2.2 email apk (as described in the blog) and after few minutes my calendar was fully synchronized and I receive emails in push. That's great
I am not sure that would solve your issue but it is worth trying it.
(make sure to delete the HTC exchange account).
Hope this helps.

Exchange sync issues with the Epic 4G

When I try to add a corporate exchange email account, it stays stuck on a "loading" screen. I can get out of the email app and use the phone, but when I go back to email it's still on the loading screen - this will go on for hours (even if i soft reset the phone). Won't sync contacts or calendar either. It seems many have had this issue on other forums, but I haven't found a solution or a reason why it's happening. Anyone have any info on this?

I have not had any issues with 2.1 and now on 2.2. When you setup the account sync try not sycing mail maybe only contacts if that works then do calendar and so on. I have seen problem mail and calendar items that cause issues like this on other mobile phones at my work.

[Q] CM7 exchange sync issues

Is anyone else having exchange sync issue in CM7? I've tried both stable and the latest nightly. Most specifically its in the calendar. It won't sync all of my appts. I know its not the sever itself as it loads fine on my vibrant running bionix-V 1.3.1.
Any thoughts? I couldn't find any known issues on this.

I'm facing a similar issue as well, e-mail syncs fine but calendar won't.
I've set everything to sync manually, no push and no automatic refresh.
Manual sync of calendar under "Accounts & Sync" doesn't sync calendar entries as well

I found with Exchange sync for Calendar, most, but not all, appointments sync. I found 1 that didn't sync no matter what I did. There may be others, but that was the only one I noticed. However, there seems to be another major timezone/daylight savings time bug where many appointments show up 1 hour before their correct time. For full day appointments, this results in 11pm-11pm 2-day events. It's not the calendar app, as syncing google calendars doesn't seem to have this issue, so it must be a problem with the Exchange sync. I don't use Exchange for email, but contacts seem to sync okay.

Anyone else having sync issues?

Is anyone else having sync issues?
When syncing Google Contacts it will say "Sync Not available at this time"
I am getting gmail emails late. Sometimes 10 minutes and other times a few hours.
The built in Facebook app also will not sync with my phone. It won't even give me the option to turn the sync on. I am not getting any notifications for Facebook either.
I just came back to Android from an iPhone and all of this crap is making me think twice.

I don't use Facebook but my phone doesn't seem to be having issues syncing to my Google account. Contacts etc. Are all OK.
If you are at a loss you could always try to factory reset? Bit of a pain though setting everything up again.
Once you get the teething issues sorted I'm sure you won't regret the move from Apple

Google Contact Sync Issues
Did you ever get a reply about your sync issues? I cannot get my Google contacts (People?) to sync over to my Galaxy S7 and I'm about to kill someone...
