Just received a nexus one. I didn't add google account when nexus one was started for the first time. It can connect internet correctly and access google reader and gmail.
But I can't add google account in nexus one later so can't download software from market. I tried a couple of times, it still failed.
The error message is "this could be a temporary problem o your phone may not be provisioned with data services".
Has anyone seen the similar issues? Any one can help on this? Thanks in advance!
Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > add Account.
Thanks! This is exactly what I did. But Adding google account failed.
The error message is "this could be a temporary problem o your phone may not be provisioned with data services".
------------------------------------------------------------
After factory reset, it can work now(adding google account right after reset).
Is this a defect or bug in Anroid 2.1 or Nexus one. The user should be able to add google account later.
I did not add a Google account at first because I did not have myAPN set up. I was able to add it later though. So I do not think it is a problem with the phone or android 2.1. Atleast not all of them.

Yes, a few guys in google help forum reported the same issue. Not sure it's Nexus one's issue or 2.1's.
Try a factory reset, shouldn't be too much of a hassle since you haven't set it up too much, right?
Log in via the mobile network first, not WiFi... that's a typical error message if you try and create an account via WiFi before doing so via the mobile network.
If you've already tried this... sorry, I can't offer anything more.

Password recovery.
This is what i need and this is not supported by vanilla Android ROM.
Only touchdown and HTC sense support this.
So this work for you but only for basic security, not like 95 % of enterprise companies out there...

Maybe only 5% of the companies have that restriction??
I have used my phone with two different "enterprise" companies and have not had an issue.
No issues here either. Using a major law firms exchange.
Liking the update to include signatures on replies now. That's the way it should be.
Exchange Sync Issues
I also had (have?) issues and I mentioned them as part of another note on my overall response to 2.3.3. (in a phrase, not worth it) but nobody else seemed to be interested in that thread. So, welcome.
2.3.3. on my stock N1 has suffered the following problems:
1. Would not connect to Exchange server after I updated to 2.3.3
2. So I cleared data in "email" app, forced close, and tried to reinstall from
Home>Menu>Accounts. Also rebooted.
3. When trying to install from Home>Menu>Accounts I found NO PROVISION FOR MANUAL SETUP, i.e., manually entering domain name and exchange server ID; you can only enter your email address and password. The Gingerbread Manual mentions there is provision for manual setup in case of problems, but they don't tell you that you have to. . .
4. Set up from eMail App in the App drawer. When I set up that way there is a button for Manual Install.
5. Without Manual Install it is probable that your phone is assuming a domain name or ID that is wrong, and it will never connect.
6. After the successful re-install and use for about a day, 2.3.3. wiped out my server connection again arbitrarily (I never turn the phone off/on, etc.; it just did it) and I had to set up again.
This is definitely a BUG in 2.3.3--very definitely the inability to manually set up from any screen on which you can set up an account.
Same problem here, although it looks that Exchange is setup correctly -following instructions of ecdy, there is NO data synchronization at all with my exchange account! As under Froyo there were no problems at all, this MUST be a Gingerbread bug. Anybody any solution, workaround, please?
N1, unrooted stock, 2.3.3. OTA.

I do believe there is an issue with not having the manual setup option. I read somewhere on here that someone got the manual option after the automatic setup failed 10 times. A bug yes, but once account is set up, everything works as it should.

No, pity, NOTHING works as it should - read my post above, please. Since Gingerbread (N1, stock, unrooted, 2.3.3. OTA) exchange sync lost, although it LOOKS set up correctly (accepts all, password, username) does NOT sync mail, calendar!
Anybody any solution please?
Strange thing noticed: after OTA Gingerbread Hotmail account in mail survived, exchange account (company) went lost.. Anything to do with problem?

I did a manual upgrade to GB (clean upgrade). Maybe the OTA has broken something.
Exchange Sync problems
As far as other email accounts are concerned: GMail worked fine; Yahoo! Mail, which was originally set up in the OS's "Accounts" mode, didn't work. Downloading the Yahoo! Mail App fixed that.
Maybe there's a Hotmail app too.
It sounds like bmszabo isn't getting refreshed (synced); check all accounts settings that adjust sync frequency and do a "sync now" to see if it works.
Before I erased all the data in my Exchange a/c on the phone I would get a screen with all my emails and contacts up to the point where I had installed 2.3.3, but nothing thereafter. The phone will store old data but if it can't connect to the server it won't add anything new. Why does bmszabo say "it LOOKS set up correctly (accepts all, password, username)"? It will remember the correct pwd and username as you put them in, along with an incorrect domain name and server, and never be able to connect.

Sorry, trying to explain things happened since GB OTA upgrade: after setting up exchange account, Exchange sync setup looks allrite, after asking about administrator priorities (and accepting them) sync sign turns green, looks like account setup correct, shows empty mailbox, but it DOES NOT sync with my mail, neither with calendar; as a matter of fact, my exchange calendar does not even show up on the list of calendars in Agenda...
O yes, forgotten: manual sync, although green wheel spins shortly, does not change a thing, neither..
Another similar issue with Exchange not syncing came up with CM 6.1.1. The fix was to reinstall the Email.apk.

Firstly, you enter email and password. If you want to include domain name - you write your email like this: domain\[email protected]
After you enter it, whether it fails or succeeds - it presents you with manual setup screen.

5 % pf the companies uses Exchange security? you must be kidding right? what my company is asking for in term of security is just basic. So i cannot believe that sorry.
This is really basic functionalities for security. It works on iphone, on Sense, on Symbian, but not on Android. So i am not getting it. If it works everywhere else than Android, it means that definitively more than 5 % of companies are requiring these basic security features.
My 2 cents of course and nothing personal!

What I am saying is that there are plenty of people who are able to connect to their Exchange servers just fine which do HAVE exchange security enabled. Maybe your company has additional security restrictions enabled. If so, then your company will fall in the 5% subset.

I am using cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (gingerbread) and have tried multiple roms including googles vanilla and NONE of them have supported my company's exchange setup. This was supposed to be fixed in froyo and for people using sense it is fixed.
Basically when i manually setup activesync it says the phone doesn't support the security features.
Who cares if my company uses extra security or not. It works on HTC and iphone/ipad.
Google is basically doing half assed exchange support and I will keep telling people they will probably need to shell out for touchdown if they move to android until they fix it.
Google needs to support ALL ACTIVESYNC SECURITY settings, anything less isn't good enough.
I think You are right; Exchange sync (cal, mail) worked PERFECT with Froyo, and with Gingerbread it is completely lost.. I don't think any firm can do this to customers using their OS, and I do hope somebody gots a solution soon (or: Google fixes the issue?).
In the meanwhile: as I cannot use my company mail/ calendar: I wish I stayed with Froyo!!

Agree with you...
thank you for your support. Started to feel alone here!
I just updated to EC05 from stock DI18 using the update.zip file. Update worked fine and everything is working great. The only issue I am having so far is getting email/calendar from my work's exchange server. I can set it up as I usualy do with no problem but when it is suppose to sync it does nothing and no errors appear. I removed and re-added account a couple of times with the same outcome. Anyone got EC05 syncing with exchange server with no issues?
SOLVED: Once I did wipe/reset in factory recovery BEFORE applying update.zip - the issue with not being able to accept security policy got resolved and sync is working fine now.
No problems here with a very picky exchange server here. I know when I do set it up though it asks that I accept this security setting saying the exchange server can wipe my phone. Kinda like the blackberry control when attached to exchange.

Yes - I usualy get this warning as well, but after this update it did not come up when I setup the account. I was surprised and removed and re-added it again and the warning did not show up. I suspect this is why it is not syncing since I did not accept this security policy but it never prompted me to do it!
I had same problem before, took a while to pinpoint problem. Exchange let you have up to 10 mobile devices, if you keep reconnect your phone it treat it as new device, eventually you hit the limit. Go to exchange webbased outlook and there under settings you can see list of mobile devices. Delte old ones. May be not your case, but was mine and took a while to trace it. This version working fine with exchange

Thanks for the advice. It is a bit different in my case since the actual email server is hosted by notifylink servers (we use it as a bridge to retrieve Oracle Beehive email). It suppose to work exact same way as exchange interface and it worked on previous ROM versions with no issues. I just searched high and low in my notifylink control pannel and I can see my phone registered only once... so I am really puzzled. I will continue pocking around. Thanks.
I just had a client call into our support line that's using an Epic with the update that's been pushed out. His account wasn't syncing. I had to have him remove the account and re-configure it. It seems to work after that, though. I don't know, could be an isolated incident.

Thanks. The bad news is that I have done this several times (including re-booting in between) and it didn't help. However, I did resolve it!! My issue was due to the fact that exchange security policy that should come up when account is configured (about remote wipe, passowrd, and all that) for some reason was not being displayed so the sync icon would show up quickly and go away with nothing being synced. So device administrator was not being setup for that account for some reason (usualy you can see it in Settings -> Location and Security -> Select device adminitrators). I had nothing there and no way to accept the security policy. I tried reflashing several times with the same result. Each flash process was first to ODIN to stock DI18 then apply the update.zip from the SD card and everything worked great except that damn exchange mail. So the last flash I did - before I flashed update.zip I picked wipe user data/restore to factory in recovery BEFORE applying update.zip. So the new process was: ODIN to factory DI18, go back to recovery and wipe/reset 3 times, then apply update.zip. After that, I've setup exchange account and bingo, I got the familiar security pop-up to accept. Everything is working great now and no issues anymore. I was getting frustrated because I like the update but I need my work email... so I almost flashed back to EB13 and gave up. So anyone with the same issue, just wipe/reset before update and should be good to go.
My Epic connected to the Exchange server just fine. But it is having some strange behavior. If I send a new message, no problem. If I reply to a message that was sent to me, the new lines are replaced with <br> tags and no new lines. This didn't happen in EB13.
Anyone else seeing this?
Spotty with froyo. Now does not work at all.

Cant even do it with touchdown. Everything else works great.

I'm syncing with a hosted Exchange 2010 server (outlook.com). I had to change the server address from m.outlook.com to the actual pod*****.outlook.com address, but after that it's working perfectly with my DX on GB.
We have Exchange 2003. Tried everything.
I lose synch whenever my ROM changes.
The first time, I deleted my corp account, and recreated it...that worked.
The second time, I re-entered just my password and the last field had changed the name, not sure why...but fixed that and it resynched after both of those.
It stopped working for me too, but I haven't tried inputting the actual outlook exchange address. We always used m.mycompanyname.com.
Apparently Motorola knows about the problem. I just did a simple google search on my pop up about not being able to provision for my device. So much for "enhanced activesync" lol:
http://motorola-global-en-usa.custh...id-pro-after-mr2-update-(copy-of-answer-67174)
Still no corporate email or calendar sync. I've nuked phone clean and it still won't update.
Another e/ee here received the OTA update from Verizon and it ruined her corp sync too. So it has nothing to do with root.
I think there is some issue with pulling the certificate.

I think you are right about the issue having to do with pulling a certificate.
In my case, first OTA install failed, then Verizon folks had me flash back to 2.2, wiping my existing settings.
After the rollback, I was able to install the OTA to get to 2.3 successfully, but now I am not able to setup corporate sync on the phone. All correct settings gets me an error message saying "Login to the server failed, please try again."
One thing I notice is that on the 2.2 Corporate Sync settings, it asks for:
"domain/username" in one textbox
where on the 2.3 settings page, the username and domain are entered on separate textboxes.
Maybe that has nothing to do with anything, but it was something I noticed.
I'll update if I find anything about this issue.

Call was disconnected with VZ, Moto, and I'm too mad/tired to go through the hassle again. Boo.
Droid X - Activesync issues after GB Update
So this is really strange, and I'm truly frustrated. The Mobile device policy in our Exchange 2007 environment will not allow the Corporate Mail application on our DXs provision with the server... unless we check the Allow Simple Passwords option in the policy itself. Then the device is provisioned properly and email, calendar and contacts sync.
This is not optimal as we have a strict Policy for passwords and using a simple password violates that.
Regards,
Edge
I feel your pain Edge... same for me.. doesn't allow for simple passwords. So now I am receiving the provisioning error. I called Verizon lastnight... they forwarded me to motorola and they said for me to send a document stating the settings my company needs to change.. what a joke. I am furious. I don't want third party software to download email... Although my HTC Eris sucked because of the speed.. the company HTC supported my email. Every time there was an upgrade it continued to work.
still busted. Tried several things with my company's outside tech support.
Exchange 2003. Factory reset of phone (twice). Even pulled the SD card after the second factory reset. I manually added certificates. Tried Touchdown. turned SSL on, turned off.
tried all kinds of domain settings. Tried stuff on server side. Still nothing.
Now I'm getting error messages with Gmail.
SUCCESS!
Our certificate expires in August so the IT guy went ahead and updated it. When turning on account, I left off the domain name and checked SSL. Worked immediately after that. Good luck.
FWIW, i just upgraded to p3droid's rooted GB (performed a full data reset in the process). Setting up my corporate sync was painless (worked first try) and it works flawlessly. Our IT guy is sharp and knows how to configure and maintain our Exchange server with all the latest updates and such. If anyone is having issues with Corporate Sync, I'll bet a dollar that it's a problem with your Exchange Server and not GB.

Exchange support on any android platform is usually from a mis-maintained Exchange server, but it just seems that motorola is extra messed up with their support. I know how my Exchange server is set up and I still have a hard time getting full functionality out of my DX and my corporate email account. At my work I depend on calender support because it's the main means of communication between our IT staff as to who is going to in the office at what point. As of right now, I'm using my work phone to keep up with work which is... Normal? I dunno, but I just know I'll have to float until I can get my hands on a decent root and ROM for the OTA update. I've tried using P3droid's patched version and out of the six times I've tried it, I've either gotten into a boot loop or I've lost all data connectivity- weird.

I had lots of weirdness with GB too when I upgraded (twice) using P3droid's update. I SBFed back to .340 and then did a Factory Data Reset just prior to booting into Clockworkmod's Recovery to do the upgrade. Haven't had one lick of problems since. Give that a try.
Ever since the KitKat upgrade, my stock email fails, with the message box: "Unfortunately, email has stopped", and an option to report it. I had read that there are some difficulties with exchange servers, so I deleted my exchange account, but the email program still fails in the same way. Thanks for any advice that you can give me.
EDIT: I fixed this by a full reset of the tablet. I think that the security features of exchange email got in the way and I just needed to start from scratch.
