I just got the LG G2 a few weeks ago and I love it, but I'm having some issues that I've never had before on Previous phones (Previous ones being Moto Maxx, Razr HD Maxx, Note 3, Note 2 & GS4).
First are my exchange contacts aren't syncing to the phone; at least not all of them. I setup my exchange account on the phone the same way I always do, set to push, mail, contacts, calendar etc...Out of my 500 or so contacts only about maybe half actually are on the phone. I go to call someone, and they aren't there, I double check that persons exchange contact in outlook or on my ipad, and it's there; just not on the phone.
The other problem I have is every time I delete an email, I get a new email notification for that (or those) emails I just deleted, when I open the notification it takes me to the email in the deleted items folder.
I'm REALLY hoping someone else here knows how to resolve these issues as otherwise this phone is awesome, but these two issues are driving me bonkers!
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!

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.

Anyone having send/recieve issues with the gmail app?
I just tried sending a bunch of photos to a seperate account and recieved the message twice, but sending through the android email app over IMAP seems to send normally.
Can't for the life of me see what the problem is.
Hi, I just got my Magic a couple of days ago and I have noticed issues with google mail.
A couple of times now I have checked the mail through the google mail icon on my phone and it has shown Inbox (1) but just doesn't download the message to my phone.
I have tried sync'ing it but it just takes forever to come down. No issues with signal at the time so not really sure what is wrong. One time the email did turn up after I manually sync'ed about 5 times and the other time I logged onto my google mail via the browser rather then the app and read the email, (that email never did arrive on my phone!?)
Hopefully some kind email genius will come along and help us both ;0)
Well I've noticed after setting the email account up through the android app that gmail seems to sync properly now and notify about new mails, though I haven't gotten around to testing if the send is working properly or not on the gmail app.
Incidentally I also switched down to 2G to save battery, but I don't think that'd have an impact...
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.
Hi guys,
I got an HD2 last week (an outstanding phone so far) and immediately synced it up via Active Sync to my Microsoft Outlook email account. All the emails flooded in as they should. But now I can't update my emails wirelessly, only when I sync up. Thus I set up the same account again in it's original btinternet form. I hope you're still with me.....This account is fine and updates as it should.
So, at the moment I've got the same email account setup twice with only one functioning properly and, as the title of this thread suggests, I want to delete the non-functioning Outlook account from the handset if I can. I've tried all the obvious methods ie going to mail, menu, account settings, delete and selecting the Outlook account, but all I get is 4 coloured dots rotating on the screen and no joy. I left it overnight and the dots were still spinning this morning! I've also deleted all the emails in the Outlook inbox, thinking that maybe they were causing the delay but that hasn't helped. Are there any other options or am I doing anything wrong?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Thanks
bascially, connect it up to sync again, and then on the sync cilent you de-select syncing of mail. it will then remove it!
As easy as that eh? Yep, that worked! I'm new to all of this so thanks for the tip.
Now check for pink splodges on your camera pictures
No, none of those luckily! A bit of a pink tinge but once it focusses, the camera quality is actually quite good.
I am trying to test out my company's first Epic and I put in all the info, email address, domain\user name, password, server address. It accepts my info, I take the defaults of how much data to transfer and frequency, then it brings me to the mailbox. It shows my sub folders to the inbox, it populates my calendar and contacts. It leaves me on the main inbox folder and then a yellow bar comes up " Unable to open connection to server" and nothing populates in my inbox.
My company is on Exchage 2003, I have a vibrant working just fine as well as a HTC evo. I tried with multiple exchange accounts on the same server but get the same result.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Same Problem with Exchange and Epic 4G
We are using Exchange 2003 as well. Contact, Calendar, and other mail folders show up just fine. I can see sent items, deleted items, and all other sub folders. When I try to load the inbox, I get the same error message.
What gives?
I just picked the phone up about 2 hours ago and came right here to figure it out!
My company uses Exchange 2008 and I'm able to connect just fine. So much quicker and easier than the moment.
I had the same problem. I had to go to gmail and import my contacts for hotmail and then sync my phone to the gmail account.
i heard that when 2.2 comes out, the exchange settings would work.
i am only getting 50 of my 812 contacts to import.

I lost about 20 out of 252. So I just went back added the ones I'm missing.
Active sync support with most android phones is very dodgy -- some work and some don't. And I'm not talking about some models over another -- it's a unit specific issue. Some Epics do and some don't. The same thing was happening with the Droid X. The only models that consistently work are from HTC because they have their own active sync program in sense.
no workie, workie, now no workie
So i was here back at the beginning of September. Exchange would not load my inbox, then one day it started working for no reason I could find. I stopped using Moxier Mail and went to the built in email program.
Then two days ago, my Exchange account and another IMAP account I have set up on the mail client disappeared from the phone. NO idea why. My email, contacts, and calendar just vanished.
So I added back my exchange account, contacts and calendar came in just fine. Now my Exchange mail is back to where I was two months ago.
"Unable to open connection to server", that's all I get on the screen for my inbox.
Epic 4G, Exchnage 2003, built in mail client.
So I have a similar infrastructure to you, we run Exchange 2003 currently and have had numerous issues with the Epics. I have a couple tricks that really seems to help (at least in my environment)
1. When setting up the phone make sure the Calendar amount is set to All
2. Setting up the phone over Wi-Fi as opposed to the mobile connection seems to work significantly better.
3. If you have issues with the users calendar 9 times out of 10 its due to corrupt entries which not only cause issues with the calendar syncing, but also consume a huge amount of bandwidth. To correct this create a new calendar in Outlook, go into List view and copy everything from your calendar to the new one. All entries that cant copy need to be deleted. Move all your stuff back from the temp calendar to yours and the issue should be fixed.
I am running the leaked 2.2 on my Epic currently and it does seem to address a lot of the issues the Epic had with 2.1 and Active Sync.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions.
