[Q] Exchange Calendar on KK ROM - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gang
I've Googled this to no avail, so either my Google-fu is lacking, or the answer simply isn't that easy to find!
I recently got a new job that uses an Exchange server. My RAZR M is currently running AOSP 4.4, so it has the ActiveSync bug that has plagued KK users since it's inception (namely, the "Can't connect to server" problem).
I am able to get my email via CloudMagic, so that's not a problem. I need a solution to get my calendar events to sync over as well.
We are running Exchange 2010, so Touchdown doesn't really work (they stopped development at Exchange 2007, apparently). I tried it nonetheless, and the syncing is atrocious (when it works at all).
I'm willing to flash any new ROMS or apps that may be required to get this to work. Is there an old JB Email / Exchange adapter app I could flash? Would that even work with KK?
This is my personal phone, so anything goes. Just let me know, please!
On a related note, I updated my TF101 to a 4.4.4 ROM (KatKiss), and the problem still persists. If Google fixed the bug, it didn't come across in that ROM.

I'm on CM11 with an exchange 2010 and office 365 (exchange 2013 driven) servers synced with emails and calendar with no issues... Maybe worth a shot?

Exchange Push Email

Morning all,
In the stock Froyo I found that Exchange push email was not working reliably. There were alot of postings on the Moto forum, as well as other forums. I myself saw this problem in the middle of the day, where I had to manually sync to get my new Exchange email, rather than it showing up via push and then being notified. This is a huge problem for me.
Now that I have moved to the 591 release of Gbread I was wondering if this issue still exists, or has it been resolved. If not then how are you getting around this huge problem?
Thanks,
Steve
Steve,
I have a newer Droid, build 340...I have not experienced the lack of pushing Email while stock.
I did download a couple of apps that seemed to interfere, I rooted and installed a ROM Manager (for task management), this caused my Email to quit syncing, but my calender was fine (very odd), to fix this I removed all of my information in my corporate synch account and then re-entered it and all has been well since.
I'm not sure if this is the same problem you are having but this was my experience.

[Q] Using Asus Email app for exchange images fix please

Hi,
Just updated to 3.1 yet the Asus email app still will not show inline or embedded images in emails. It saves them as attachments.
Things i have tried
Sent the email from exchange to my gmail and viewed. Images will show
downloaded 3rd party app "Touchdown" Images will show"
when i click show pictures, images still won't load.
tried deleting my account and reloading it.. Nothing
updated from 3.01 to 3.1 and still nothing
Im running out of things to test as to how to fix this. This has to be a decent issue because it should affect everyone that uses the standard email app on honeycomb for exchange should be having this problem and if not can you think of anything you have done to fix it or that would be different to my setup.
Items to note:
My exchange account is on 2007
using stock ROM not rooted
I got the Honeycomb 3.1 update this morning and my first expectation was the email client got fixed! It was not. I'm kind of sad/dissapointed.
The email client still does not display the embedded pictures correctly.
I have 2 Exchange accounts, and the strange thing (from my own setup here), one of them actually works displaying the embedded pictures after the 3.1 upgrade.
The other one still does not work.
I believe the one that works is an Exchange 2003 account. The one that does not work is either Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 account. But I know its newer Exchange for sure.
Previously both did not work. So, they did fix something, but not all.
GMail client works great, no issue with the embedded image.
The other issue the email client still has, and not fixed, is that it still stops working after the tablet loses its connectivity for certain period of time. When the connection is established again, the email client will stop working and simply shows the spinning circle without any ending or fetch any new emails.
After the 3.1 upgrade, the same issue is still there... sad...
Its dissapointing in many ways because i bought this tablet for work purposes and the most essential iteam on the tablet fails to function correctly.
Its obviously able to be fixed because other email clients like touchdown dont have this problem. The reason i dont want to use touchdown is that i should not pay 20 bucks for the priverlage of this issue being fixed. Also thw stock widgets are much betterthan touchdowns.
Yes. Highly disappointing. May return this piece. I know Asus and their updates. Worse than Samsung.
Update? Why?
I really like the idea of the asus transformer, i did not want to get an ipad2 but when the simple things dont work the way they should it gets frustrating. Its not like the emailapp is re inventing the wheel. How can third party apps get it right but not ASUS.
Even my htc desire using htc mail works fine and show inline pictures without fuss.
don't be mad with Asus. The email client is Honeycomb built in native email client.
The one Asus built in only the home screen wigdet (that shows the number of unread emails).
What is the difference between the stock email client and third party email clients that make ebedded images work?
I noticed a issues log on google android website that this issue has been going on since 2008.
If google want to provide a os thats geared to business to steal market share from RIM you would think that something as simple as fixing this would be some kind of a priority.
Spoke with Asus. They were able to replicate the issue with their own exchange accounts. All they said was they don't control how the stock email client works nor can change it and it would be up to Google to fix it.

ICS Problem with Exchange 2007 accounts

hello friends,
maybe someone of you is able to help, or at least enlighten me about the cause of this:
since i use ICS on my note (about for 2 weeks, starting with stunner) i have REALLY BIG problems with one of my exchange accounts, the one which is running on a hosted exchange 2007 (second account with my corporate exchange 2010 is fine)! so until today i hoped that the "official ICS" for the note won't show this behavior, but now with a total clean install of the today released LPY and therefore OFFICIAL SAMSUNG ICS rom, the problem persists!
description:
95 out of 100 trys to connect to my exchange account fails with a message telling me that there is a security error (if needed i can provide some screenshots) telling me that either my username and/or password is incorrect! this makes it almost impossible even to simply add the account. and, on the rare occasions (which SOMETIMES can be triggered through a connection change between wifi and 3g) when the phone is able to connect (and sync), it stops after a few minutes again with the same error.
i re-added the account numerous times, tried everything which came through my mind (change password, enabled and disabled sec features) and trust me, i know what i'm doing here. i configure exchange accounts since almost 10 years from now!
clues:
there are a few tickets existing on http://code.google.com/p/android regarding this issue, but with different "flavours":
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16992
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19366
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25315
to sum it up:
google developers are recognizing the problem (it seems to exist since android 3+ to some extent) but are unable to provide a solution until now. it seems to be a problem with an EAS policy refresh, which fails and therefore closes (or does not even open) the connection! a guy suggested to disable these policy refresh in the EX2007 config, but this would only be possible if you are the admin of this server (and i doubt that it would make sense, security-wise, too)!
another theory says this mess is due to implementation errors in the connection layer, which directly affects wifi and 3g connection behavior...
i guess that this problem would now get's more imminent, as this security error wasn't occurring at gingerbread. and now more and more people with smartphones will migrate to ICS!
what do you think?
does anybody else experience this? or am i one of the few unlucky bastards?
regards,
markus
so, is exchange 2007 working for everyone?
this would be important to know for me, because in this case i would have
to blame my exchange provider for wrong EAS settings!
can a few people with an exchange 2007 account confirm that their sync work flawlessly? anyone please?
Just realized my exchange account is not syncing unless I open the client.
My work is running exchange 2003

This seems to be the case on all TW based roms, no matter if GB or ICS at least for me. It syncs fine with Hotmail service but not with my company's 2003 server so there has to be some incompatibility there. When disabling all syncs and re-enabling them it started syncing. Just had to wait for about 30 minutes to get all info synced.
E: On AOSP based (CM9, AOKP) everything works as it should right from the beginning without the extra hassle.
I'm working properly in Galaxy Note, from KKA to LPY, with Exchange 2007 SP3.
Syncing is correct in my case.
Samsungs version of ICS (or Gingerbread) doesn't communicate with Lotus Notes traveler active sync. Cyanogen 9 (ICS) is working out of the box. In Gingerbread the Traveler App is working but in Samsungs version of ICS the widgets dont work.
after fiddling around this WE i think there would be no other solution as reverting back to GB (which would suck, and therefore is no real option), or to change to a hoster with exchange 2010!
every client i tried shows the same behavior, if i'm able to establish a connection it won't last long till the security error reappears! this renders my account almost useless...
i will update this post if something changes!

[Q] OmniROM 4.4 Exchange mail patches

Hello,
In Android 4.4 there appears to be some pretty wicked Exchange mail issues and supposedly Google resolved according to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61785 and it looks like the CM guys merged fixes with http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54017/ I'm trying to look through the OmniROM gerrit not getting anywhere so far. Would anyone using OmniROM 4.4 please reply if Exchange mail is working well or not?

I'm running Omni, the latest nightly, 10/12/2013 on my I9300 and haven't had any issues with Exchange mail.
4.4.1 probably includes those patches
Отправлено с моего GT-I9300
Found this topic through searching. For me, Exchange has been giving problems since I put Omni 4.4.2 on it. Email does not arrive, syncing seems not to work.
I have never gotten the exchange to work at all, i only want to use it for contact sync.
For everything else (email/calendar) i use TouchDown Exchange, which never fails.

I've been using the exchange on my HTC One with no problems. I also have exposed with the exchange security defeat module and all is working fine for me. Never really had any problems with either at all.
Good Luck

Samsung Stock email app and Exchange Server sync problems

All of the sudden over the past week or so, I am having sync issues withe the stock Samsung email app not recognizing read emails, deletions or replys, whereas other apps like Outlook do not have this problem. I tried removing and reinstalling the exchange account, but that did not help. I have made no changes to my server or to the app settings that would cause this issue. As an example, if I read or delete an email on my desktop or tablet, the phone does not see it, though it is receiving all new email. it worked fine up until a week ago. I use Office365 for exchange.
Anyone else having a similar problem with the stock email app?
I'm getting similar. I've removed/reinstalled the account several times, removed the partnership with O365 and still no joy.
Tried the MS Troubleshooting tool, and its suggested an SSL error, but doesn't give anything more than that.
Has anyone found a splution yet? (I can't use the outlook app for Android as not approved by our security team....)
Thanks
Could be connected to the updates they've done with outlook.com email. It stopped working on outlook 2016 for about a month.

Over the past few days, the sync problems seems to have been rectified, for reasons unknown to me. I was having similar issues with my LG tablet native email app, but oddly, no similar problems with the Samsung app in my Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) tablet. Regardless, I'm guessing that the problems were on Microsoft's end, as the sync problems in my S7E mail app and my LG tab mail app are gone now. I had to go in to each and manually delete or file a bunch of emails from 11-22 and 11-21, which is seemingly when the problems arose, but now all is good.
Exchange Server Sync problems Samsung G7 running Android 6.0.1 on Verizon
Started having sync problems after installing Web Guard. Email will sync when first connecting to server, but not after that. Connecting through a different WiFi everything syncs on the first connection, but no after that. Any idea where to look?
