Exchange Contacts NOT syncing!

I set up the exchange server (as I did on many other Android devices before)and it is not syncing contacts at all! Emails and calendar did sync but not the contacts.

I was just curious if you found a fix for this? I just purchased a Nexus 4 & 10; both sync my email & calendar fine from exchange 2010 - but none of my contacts are being pulled in.

No I didn't find a permanent solution. What I did was download a third party software (think it was touchdown) trial and once my contacts were synced I moved them to phone contacts and un installed the software.

Gotcha, and thanks for the reply! I did something similar; in Outlook I exported all of my contacts to a CSV file, then on the gmail website I went to contacts and imported them and they came through to my phone fine - just fyi if anyone else reads this thread.
Kind of annoying to have to go round about that way; but hopefully it will get fixed in a future update and I can delete all of my work contacts from my personal gmail account.
FYI, I've called google tech support and they've elevated my case to a developer that is supposed to send me an email - I'll post hear if they actually tell me something usefull.

But we shouldn't have to do that though (I mean importing our contacts). We use Exchange in the workplace, and to be honest they wouldn't be happy if I copied the contacts to my personal account. This worked on other Android phones (One S, Nexus S etc) but for some reason just doesn't work on devices with Unified Storage (Nexus 4/7)
I thought the 4.2.2 update would solve this but unfortunately not. It's a shame because the Nexus was supposed to be a solid phone but all it's doing is losing my trust.

Please note that mine is now working after a security update o kosek the exchange server. We use exchange 2007. I can get you the technical details of it might help you.

I noticed that it didn't prompt me to allow device administrator until I exited and reopened email. And it won't let me do anything until that happens. Are you able to send a test email? If you can send email it should grab the contacts automatically. Also obviously check the settings in settings>>account settings>>corporate(or whatever yours is called) and maybe double check the server settings.

Also if your server is on your LAN it helps to be connected to the WiFi during set up.
You can always remove the account and re add it.

Is there a fix for this bug? I just got a Nexus 4 and I can't sync my contacts. My old phone doesn't take the micro sim, so I can't switch back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Google Can't / Won't Help
From Google Support phone call:
Initially they told me to type my contacts in one at a time into the phone. Then they told me the following.
"We're unable to describe how to setup email on your android device, that's beyond our capabilities. You can go to this site to get information on setting up GMail via IMAP (not what I was asking for). If that isn't what you need there's nothing we can do for you and we'll have to have you return it." ... "Yes you'll be responsible for shipping"
I've been running Android on a variety of devices dating back to 2.2. I've never had any problems syncing my exchange contacts before. This is REALLY annoying.

Ryan,
I was able to fix this problem. I honestly don't remember exactly how it was done but I found the solution on XDA itself. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had this issue ages ago but was fixed with the Android update. Way before 4.3 was released. Are you sure you're fully up to date?

Hangouts is pretty much just a Google Talk replacement at the moment. It doesn't unify anything.

Well, it totally screws up the easy way of cross compatible situation that Gtalk provided with XMPP. So many Messengers on various Computer Systems, incl. Android and iOS could connect to a Gtalk account. Now thats all over. What has that to do with unifying ? Sounds more to me like "limiting".
I suppose, since Gtalk was a major part in Android, one that I believe cannot/could not be uninstalled (please correct me if I am wrong here), we can't uninstall Google Hangout now. Right ? Since if it replaces Talk, it must be a part of the System that can't be uninstalled. Or please tell me that its no problem to uninstall it ?
Any info is appreciated.
Thank you.

I don't like the fact that we can't see the online/offline status of the people in our friend lists anymore!

It's no problem to uninstall it. You can uninstall with titanium backup.

Does anyone know if Google will also disable the Gtalk Servers with the use for Gtalk compatible XMPP apps on for example PC or if that is still running a while ?

I uninstalled it with Titanium Backups. Now its gone. Can I go back to Gtalk again and if, will it next time be automatically updated with Hangouts again since Google wants to get rid of Gtalk ? Does anyone know if Gtalk (in general) still works as for the Servers, so I could use it on a PC with some alternate Messenger.
Any info on that is appreciated.

You can go back to gtalk,put the file back to the path,and reboot
When I updated gtalk to hangouts, PC termination had worked as usual.
I think automatically update of gtalk will be successful next time.

If I understand you correct, I could put in TALK again but next time (or soon) it will be updated automatically to Hangout again, since that is what Google will force on everyone. So there is no point in putting Talk back I suppose. I just hope they keep the XMPP Servers running for Talk to be used on other Systems like PC. So many nice apps that can be used with Gtalk. Pidgin, Miranda etc.

yes, you are right.
I also like XMPP Servers, but talk combine with google+ message, what a pity.

If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

ya its a great design but really missing the simple facts.
GOOGLE if you're reading this, combine all the servers into one.

it is still called talk and still looks the same, however apparently I already have the hangout update... what can I do? I rebooted my nexus twice and talk is still there.

It doesnt look the same at all actually. Lol. if it looks the Same for you, it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. there is a phandroid article with a link to the app itself and you can just install it manually.

finally, looks completely different. love it.

according to phandroid it will support sms in a future update.

I removed it completely. If I can't have Google Talk, I dont want that Hangout stuff at all. Google totally screwed up something great XMPP cross-platform stuff which no Google+ or Google Hangout can replace. Not everything wants to be done on a phone, tablet or Browser.

Facebook fail

hi
after downloading and installing facebook i get the following message
facebook login failed [4] application request limit reached (4)
i cant get past these message! Tried googling it and couldn't find anything

i have this bug too

Same here.

same here. googled it but nothing confirming what causes it. i assume some of the numb nuts at fb have broken something again.

Getting it myself on my Z5, you are the only recent info i can find on this haha

Try going here and remove any mobile devices that are you no longer using to connect to Facebook.

Good to know. :good:

What had to happen is you gotta wait 10 minutes exactly before trying to login. So login, get the error, wait exactly 10 minutes(600 seconds) and login again. I did this not 20 minutes ago because I kept going back and forth between Facebook apps trying stuff.

Temporary issue

Mail app like HTC Sense mail

I've seen some talk around this forum about porting Sense apps into the OP2. That would be great. But in the meantime, being a former HTC guy myself and a lover of the Sense UI, I used the HTC Mail app for my work email which is exchange and also for my personal email which a pop account from my ISP. The HTC Mail app allows for multi folder syncing when setting up the account. But it's not the kind of syncing that just lets you pick any folder you want from your Exchange account. It actually syncs the many different folders and displays all the messages in the main display as well as the POP account. So far I haven't been able to find a third party mail app that will sync with Exchange like this. I have been able to install the HTC mail app but it does not allow for the creation of the Exchange account with that app, only through GMail.
If anyone can make any since of this, I'd appreciate some input/help.
Thanks!

I recently discovered the mail app CloudMagic, it's perfect, at least for me. It allows you to:
- Get instant notifications (I.E. no sync intervals).
- Have separate mailbox for other accounts (I'm using iCloud and Gmail) as well as an "All inboxes" option.
- Manage the folders you wish to sync from each account.
I know it has support for all types of accounts (including Exchange).
Hopefully I'm on the right track.

You don't need a whole new Rom for a couple HTC Apps and the Sense Launcher. In fact you don't even need Root.
Install the HTC Apk's from here: http://www.fulmics.com/htc-sense/
But dont forget first of all you need to install these Apps: HtcServicePack , LocationPicker and HtcLocationServicesSetting

Thanks. I have flashed some of these. There is just a couple of nuances that don't get transferred. Like the exchange account from the mail app doesn't work and I have to use IMAP email instead.

GMAIL push notification issues?

Has anyone else been having any issues with this? I seem to only be able to get new mail when I manually check the app.
I've tried:
making sure sync is enabled
clearing gmail app cache
clearing google app cache
turning off power saving mode
deleting/adding my gmail account
uninstalling/updating the app
I put my old phone on the same wifi network as my new S8 and the old phone gets the push notifications. This makes me feel like it's not an issue with the google account, but rather some setting on the phone.

I'm in the same boat here and I have no idea what to do and I need them push notifications. If some one comes up with a solution about please I've done everything what the main posts says also

Not sure if you only have the issue on wifi, but roaming is turned off by default which might explain the behaviour on 4g. Gmail itself works fine for me. Did you enable the notifications in the phone settings?

I have emails that are hours late that don't even notify me unless I manually refresh

I removed my 3 gmail accounts
Then added them back
I am now receiving push mail from 2 email accounts
The third one, I haven't receive emails yet today, so cannot say if push is working or not.

i done everything now, i reset my network settings even, it worked for about a day after that, and now it does not work again, any ideas guys i am missing lots of emails. Have 2 s8's in the family both have the same problem (EU variant here)

When you get new phone it's better to fresh install apps rather than transfer over. Reduces issues I've found in past.

Try putting gmail in Not optimized Apps (menu in battery usage)

I was having this issue myself and then i discovered that the Notification for Gmail had been turned off. Might not help every one but to check it
LONG PRESS GMAIL>APP INFO>Scroll down to App Settings
It kept turning back off so I had to turn it on and then back all the way to home and reboot for it to stick. Hope this helps!

no i done that, i done it i think it the very begging it was like my first idea or so, but the idea the person posted before you might actually do the trick

This is not new issue. I've had the same on SGS7e and didn't find a solution. This is why I've moved to "Inbox by Gmail", successor of "Gmail".
It's almost the same, even better than Gmail. Let it try guys, you won't be disappointed.

Issue here also... Anyone tried turning off battery optimization for the app?

I resolved this by removing the accounts, then adding them back.

had the same problem for the past 2 or 3 days. it originally was working fine. I checked every setting known to man, and it magically started working again.
I was originally not getting any push notifications but also realized that it was showing "queuing" everytime i sent an email so there was definitely an issue with it pushing things out too
