How to activate Auto Sync Hannspree SN1AT71 HSG1279 - Networking

Hi
Firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong section. I wasn't sure whether it should be in a Q 7 A section or Networking. If it's in the wrongplace please could an admin move it for me.
I've recently bought the above tablet primarily to check my work e-mail on the move.
So I've got the point where the mail app is on the "Waiting to Sync Your email will appear soon" screen but it's just not syncing.
I've had a mooch about and the problem seems to be that I need to activate auto-sync. Indeed when I look at my account "Corporate" I can see it says "Sync is off"
All the guides I can find say go to settings> data usage and activate it from there.
The problem I have is that I don't have an option called data usage in my settings..
I do get and option to Sync Now by digging around a bit but although it says Calender; Contacts, & Email have Sync'd the mail app is still stuck at the "Waiting to Sync" Screen.
This tablet is running on 4.2.2. Kernel version 3.4.0
Anyone know how I can activate auto-sync?
Many thanks

EDIT: Problem solved; downloaded a widget t toggle on & off

HELP! Wifi gone on my HTC Hero

Hey guys,
I have no idea what happened but since yesterday I lost my ability to connect to wifi networks.
I have tried turning wifi on/off, turning the whole phone off and on as well. I went into the wireless controls -> wifi settings and checked/unchecked the "network notification" option, nothing...
I did the new hero firmware update via the HTC Poland site about a week ago since it took my serial number just fine (thought so since my unbranded phone came with eastern European countries listed in the locale and language settings) and everything was fast, nice and dandy until this happened.
Any ideas why? What can I do to try and fix it? Hopefully it didn't die forever (HW failure)
Helpppp! I also tried using a 3rd app program like wifi buddy and wifi analyzer (I already had them installed) but they don't see anything, no networks. Uninstalled wifi buddy since I installed that after the 2.73 update and thought it might be conflicting somehow with the build in stuff but still nothing.
Help please!
Hi,
I have the same problem since yesterday night.
Absolutely the same (Hero, new ROM installed one week ago...)
Strange. I hope, this is not a scheduled hardware failure. :-D
Regards,
-RoB-
Are you able to turn the Wifi on? I had similar problem.
Yes, I can turn the wifi on, the toggle shows it on, and in the settings seems to work, but this can't find any wifi network, and there isn't any wifi indicator icon on the status bar. Meantime i am using my netbook on my wifi network, so I have a network, and I have tried it in my office, with the same outcome.
So I am very disappointed. It was very good in the last 3-4 weeks.

Did you do hard reset? Try it
try to install drizzy/modaco firmware..
or maybe hard reset also
Same issue. Used Modaco 2 ROM. No hard reset yet.
same problem
I had the same problem. A few days after ROM upgrade (Orange) I could not detect wifi signals. I also had installed wifi buddy and something called Y5. Even after uninstalling these programs the wifi did not detect.
After a factory reset it seems to work OK for now!!
After same issue I have take it back to the shop. They flashed it again with the new ROM, wipe my data, and so on (okay, a have made some backup).
After it, my wifi was working again, but I could not use mobil internet. Same issue as with wifi before.
After this I have reboot the Hero, then it did not boot anymore.
It stucks in the HTC logo and not continue booting.
So tomorrow I will take it back to shop again, and I will try to change it to a new one. I think it is a hardware failure.

Damn.... hard reset?
Is a hard reset the same as doing a factory restore using the option in the phone settings?
I guess this is just like doing a new firmware update, backup contacts and programs with mybackup but still having to re-do the home screens (all 7) and re-apply FB pics to contacts, etc.
This suxxxx
I really hope this isn't a hardware failure that is going to keep on happening. I think it is going to be related to the new firmware update if anything..
Cause before the update (performed 2 weeks ago) I was using the firmware that the phone brought and it was working perfectly on many different wifi networks all the time... this was for about a month or two...

Why not sync your contacts with google?

Click to expand...

Because I have 1527 contacts in google contacts (basically everyone I've ever emailed for some reason... guess google auto adds them) and I don't want those to pass over to the phone... so I disabled the auto sync on contacts at the initial setup and just left it for gmail and calendar.
I had the same prob with my HTC Pro and winMO + MSN... it imported all my hundreds of msn contact to my phone contact list and it sucked!
Unless there is a specific subgroup in google contacts or way to make it so it only syncs/reads the ones I want it to?
K for your contacts, go to people app groups tab create a group called phone. Add your contacts to this group then go back to the group tab press menu then 'sync groups' make sure only phone is checked. Enable contact sync and your away.

Ok I went into the "All contacts" menu and then into the "Groups" tabs by using the bottom sliding menu. I then clicked on "add group" and created the group called HTC Hero. I went into the group , clicked menu button on the phone then clicked on the "Edit" option that popped up and it gave me the option to "add contact to group" so I added 62 contacts.
Now I'm stuck there... I've checked in the "all contacts" menu, the "Groups" tab, the "HTC Hero" group I created and hit the menu button on all of them but I get nothing that says "sync groups" or gives me the option to select which groups to sync.
The only thing I can ever find is by just going into the sync settings and having the gmail, calender and contacts "autc sync" checkmark.
Help
It is easier than that.
Go into People, and then Groups. Press "Menu" and the "Sync Groups". I've never set up any groups, so I'm presented with two "default" groups:
1. Sync all contacts
2. My contacts
Ensure that only "My Contacts" is ticked and you should be good to go, as "My Contacts" only includes people you've explicitly set up as a contact, as opposed to everyone you've emailed or received email from.
Regards,
Dave
EDIT: I just noticed that you said you don't ever see the "Sync Groups" options. Possibly this is because you did not select the option to sync contacts when you initially set up the phone. Assuming you've a custom recovery image, I'd be inclined to make a nandroid backup and try wiping the phone and setting it up from scratch again - at least the initial stages to see if you can get "Sync Groups" to appear. If it doesn't do anything, you can restore your backup.

Yup... maybe that's it.
Ok so to do a nandroid backup, do I need to root it? Cause I haven't done that.

I had a similar problem after upgrading to the latest MoDoCo release. I tried everything bar hard reset. Lastly I removed the wifi networks that were listed in Wifi Settings and it fixed the issue. I later found out that whenever a BTOpenzone hotspot was remembered in my list of networks wifi would stop working, if I remove that hotspot wifi starts working again. No idea why.
Hope this can be of some help.

Holy hell... you got it!
So it looks like this is a bug of some sorts. I remember that the last wifi network I remembered was one off an APPLE airport or whatever device they use to share wireless connections... so that must have been it. If not maybe it was one in Bennigans (yes, it still exists down here in Panama).

gmail not working

got my HD2 and cannot get gmail/googlemail to work, tried manual and auto. The HD2 keeps saying account user name or password wrong. it isnt. Activesync works, but i prefer gmail via imap.
any help please
I'm sure you have but have you tried your full email address as the username as well as just your name i.e. [email protected] or myname?
Sometimes I find it changes on what is required depending on where you are trying to access it from.

Tried Imap, worked.
i cannot get it to work!
Did you have it working on your previous phone or is this the first time you've used this service? Just checking as you need to activate pop3 or IMAP in Google settings first online.

i hace had it working many times.
Well if you had it working before and checked all the obvious settings, then I'm slightly stuck as Xmoo seems to be fine.
If no one else can help then I suppose it's HTC support that's where you need to try next....
I'll check mine tomorrow when it arrives...

maybe wrong password?
i wish it was that simple. i wonder if its because i came from htc hero?
also, no email accounts i setup synced until i went into the email account options and changed "the internet" to "t-mobile internet". so much for sim auto setup.

Coming from a Hero shouldn't make a difference. The Hero was using gmail push unless you manually configured imap on it.
Might be worth just double checking the ports etc to make sure. Don't get me wrong, I think you've probably got it all right, but best to be sure!
I'll be checking mine when I get it on Friday so if I have the problem, ill let you know, but I'm sure you'll have it sorted before then.
Sim Auto set up is great for novices, but not always what more experienced users want. I had to change my APN settings on hero to get faster / unproxied internet from o2.
Thanks everyone. Got it working.
I went into my gmail via pc and once again went into settings. This time I disabled pop (it was enabled along with imap) and from HD2 homescreen I added a new account. However, I didnt select GMail option, just other but everything just worked. Also, I didnt need to change the settings with the email account setup to "Tmobile Internet" as the "The Internet" setting just worked. Really really odd.
So I dont know if it was cured by turning off the pop setting, or setting gmail up on the HD2 via the other email option, but it works
Thanks for everyone who replied.
I have a similar but differnet issues.
Using Google exchange sync. it pushes contacts and calendar, but wont push ANY mail to my device (it synced the folders tho!) i've checked the dates, and the ranges to download, and it just wont do it at all. tried checking th ebox, unchecking th ebox, rechecking thebox (some people said it was second time lucky for them)
I've set up gmail as IMAP in the interim and that works fine. but im stumped as to why it wont exchange sync with the rest of the stuff!
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.
I had the same issue: my HD2 didn't want to sync with google. So I tried the option of disabling POP. At first it didn't work. But after I changed [email protected] to [email protected] it suddenly worked. I hope this helpes someone.
It worked for me but it doesnt push :S and ive set it to upon arrival of new mail or w.e it says..
It just doesnt push anything
I've got my gmail push working ok but, probs a silly question, how do you change the name of the account as mine is showing as Outlook and I've searched everywhere I know and can't find an option to change it to gmail

I was having the same exact issue and manually disabling POP from the web solved it for me! IMAP now working perfectly.
Balls. Spoke too soon. Still not working for me. Get the same username/pass error as before.
WooHoo!
Using the "Other" email account option seems to have fixed it. There must be something screwy in the IMAP settings that HTC Sense uses by default when you select Google Mail.
Ok,
This is getting weird now. I have two gmail accounts configured using the same method, one works perfectly and consistently, the other sporadically fails to connect/log-on etc...
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
EDIT:
There's no rhyme or reason to this. One account works perfectly everytime, the other account will work sometimes then randomly throw the username/password error.

Issue with Gmail.. Cant figure it out

So what happens here is my Gmail is not syncing correctly. For instance right now in the top left corner it shows "5 Inbox" When everything is grey and read. It's not deleting the email from my gmail account either. When I delete the emails manually from my computer, The counter in the top left then returns to "0 Inbox" So maybe its just not deleting the email? I also used to recieve the email almost instantly. Now I will recieve emails hours late... I cant figure it out. I am running on Fresh 3.4 right now.. And I had the same problem on cyanogen 6.1 ... Any help would be great.. Thanks
Open gmail. Menu > more > settings > select which labels to sync.
Change number of days to sync up or down by one.
Have inbox set to sync all.
Go to inbox and hit refresh. It should sync now. After that set number of days to sync to 3.
I used to have this problem and since i have done this i have not had sync issues in the past three months.
Good luck.

As soon as I hit sync it brought all the mail from my inbox to the phone. I was then able to delete it... However it still didnt sync on the server... They are still inbox ...
I'm experiencing the same problem. Deleting Gmail cache from Settings >Applications helps for a day or two then it goes back to not syncing.
I do notice that everytime i do that its lasts a little longer each time. But this is a really frustrating little issue.
I'm on the latest Fresh rom. Latest Gmail version.
I actually just read the comments on Gmail app through the market. It seems a lot of people are having this issue... I hope it gets fixed soon. Its extremely annoying.
Well i tried and stated what worked for me. Hope you find your fix.

I know you did.. I appreciate it.. Thanks for sharing!
I'm having a ton of issues as well... mainly, whatever I try and send goes straight to outbox and gets tagged as "sending..." It never actually sends. HTC mail is working fine so I've just been using that.
Here's a fix:
go to Menu>Search and search for is:unread then hold-tap on each item (like to copy/paste a text box), and tap "Mark Read"
Works for me every time. It appears that the issue is that when you open and read a message in Gmail on your phone, it doesn't sync that to the server. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
Same here, last night I read on another android phone section, to go into Settings, Sync, Uncheck sync all, then uninstall Google/Gmail account, reset phone, go back & re-add your account, sync. So far its worked for me & no more issues.

Device Adminsitrator messages - Mail/Calendar/Contacts wont Sync

Help!
I set up remote tracking on my GS2 yesterday, it seemed ok until i got this notification saying i had to 'Activate Device Administrator' for email. I figured this was a result of setting up the remote tracking as it listed a lot of similar functions on the screen (wipe phone, locate phone etc). So I clicked activate and ever since my Gmail doesnt sync, mail, contacts or calendar.
Ive tried deactivating it, but it just sends a notification saying i have to activate it. Ive toggled it a few times and tried syncing but no joy. Ive also noticed that a Samsung Account is now listed under 'Accounts and Sync', i think this is related as it accepts the same username and password i entered for the remote stuff. I tried deleting this but it says you can only delete it with a factory reset which id rather avoid if possible (im not convinced it would solve the syncing anyway..?)
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Samsung e-maiil app says refreshing when opened but doesn't actually download mail?

Hi All
I've got the samsung e-mail app set up for my exchange active sync account and everything is working as it should. However, I have noticed that if you open the samsung e-mail application from a shortcut it says refreshing at the bottom of the screen but no mail is actually transferred until you go to menu and select refresh. It then says refreshing at the bottom of the screen and your new mail is downloaded.
Has anyone else noticed this and is there any way to fix this so that the mail will start downloading when you open the app (or knows what the app is doing when it says 'refreshing' and it isn't actually doing anything?)
Many thanks
Spud
PS apologies for the typo in the message header!
Mine doesn't even load even if I refresh it manually and that damn circle keeps circling!!! (Not always, but many times)
Op, the refreshing on start up is synching up your screen view with the little mail database on the phone (that is in turn updated by android auto sync process if auto sync is enabled).
The refresh in the menu is actually going to servers to grab new mail.
