I just got my iphone 4s yesterday. The guy at verizon tried to help me set up my gmail but I keep getting the message: the user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect. However, they are not incorrect.
My Photon 4 G does not sync calendar, contact, Gmail with my company Gmail account. I believe that it just stopped syncing last week and I believe that it was following a Motorola update, but cannot say for sure. Under Data Delivery, both Background Data and Data enabled are checked green. However, this is interesting because Email and corporate sync is grayed out on that screen. When I go to Account, checking the sync options is not possible, but I can do a manual sync. Please note, at one time, these options to sync Contacts, Gmail and Calendar were available. I've pulled the batter. I really do not want to reset to factory default. Suggestions? (Please note this is a company Gmail account, not just regular Gmail.)
Went through and set up my gmail through the email set up wizard. Used these exact steps: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB03087
Issue is I'm not seeing any of my existing / read messages on my phone. After set up I had zero messages in my blackberry email inbox. How do I go about getting these message in my blackberry email?
I don't know if my thread title makes sense but basically what I would like to know is what are the advantages of downloading the Gmail app vs just setting up a Gmail account through my BIS (Email Settings/Add Account)? My main objective here is wireless contacts sync. I have read a lot of negative feedback regarding Gmail on a BlackBerry but I will not really even be using this for email all to often, although I will from time to time. What I have done is just added my new Gmail account through the native BlackBerry email setup and then downloaded Google Sync. I downloaded the Gmail app but I didn't really like the UI and I like to have all 3 of my email accounts go into the same folder.
When I get an email I like how the blackberry automatically opens up the email application if I pull it out of the holster.The only problem is that it pulls up the Messages inbox and not my gmail account inbox.Any way to fix this or do anything about it? I have the gmail enhanced plugin if that makes a difference.Also on a totally unrelated note is there a way to search the gmail server from the gmail plugin app?
Does the native HTC Mail app in Sense UI, push gmail? Or any other IMAP connections that support the IDLE command? Or does only the native gmail app push gmail? I ask, because I have multiple email accounts on my phone, gmail, hotmail, etc.. gmail is on the native gmail app, which is currently pushing... but the others are in the HTC Mail app.
I'd rather have 1 app for everything, instead of bouncing between.. IMAP is IMAP.. which the HTC Mail app supports (for moving to and from folders).. but if it doesn't push using the IDLE command (like gmail app does).. then I'm stuck where I am.
First of all I'd like to know if the data i send thru bis using the phone's mail configuration is encrypted till server, as far as i understand the route is blackberry ==> Provider ==> BIS ==> google servers ==> BIS ==> Provider ==> blackberry, now, are my password and mails encrypted during all this? I mean is it all encrypted even after it passed thru bis?
Second, I'd like to know what gmail app does (m.google.com/mail) regarding encryption, i see in its settings "always use secure connections" that should mean its all encrypted according to google policies right?Last, if i used the gmail app (google's) would i still need a BIS subscription or just an internet connection would be fine?
Reason i want to know is that Blackberry's mail may be a little more comfortable for me due to slow connection but i'd still want to be safe, only thing i noticed is that BIS logs into my gmail account (pretty normal tho).I see this has been discussed in the past but there was never a definitive answer and i think (not tried though) that packet sniffing wouldnt bring me one either.
I recently got a secondhand iPhone 3gs and I started it up and everything but the next time I connected it to my mac, it wouldn't acknowledge it at all. Neither would it charge. So I tried with my mum's PC and it was the same situation. My iPhone won't even charge with the wall charger unless I give it a hard reset each time. I tried recovery mode and even then iTunes wouldn' recognise it. The screen would just have the 'connect to iTunes' picture even though it was plugged in.
my pc which used to recognise my iphone 4 now does not....!I want to transfer all my photos to the pc then delete them from my iPhone, is there something i can do???I've tried to update drivers etc but windows is telling me all is good?
I just updated Itunes, but the pc it self doesn't see the phone. I did not have this prob;em before, but I recently had to "restart from the beginning" on my
windows 8. Now It's not even charging the phone. I can' update to 8.1 on my phone until I can move some things to my pc.
I've recently purchased a 2nd hand Iphone 3gs from a friend of mine, Its been unlocked, I have a Sim in the phone, I've tried to activate the it but Itunes s telling me:
"There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate"
I received an iphone 4 as a gift from somebody who bought in USA from AT&T. Today I tried to update my software to iOS 5.1 using a macbook pro and itunes. It worked untill the point when itunes restarted my iphone and then it gave me a message about not recognizing my sim card.
I am currently living in Romania and I am using a prepay Vodafone Sim.
I contacted the apple authorised service in Bucharest and they told me that there is nothing they can do, that the problem is not sovable and I can use my iphone only in USA. They told me it was coded in AT&T network and it can't be unblocked or something like that...
Now I find it hard to believe that a company such as apple can't solve this problem... after all it's not my fault that I am not an iphone expert and didn't know better than to update my iOS.
I got my iPhone 4s back in October, and it worked just fine when syncing with iTunes and all that. Recently however, like in the last 3 weeks or so, whenever I try to plug it into the computer, my computer won't recognize it. It dings like I've inserted a USB, but it doesn't show up in "My Computer" or iTunes, and does not charge. I have tried two different cords. I tried plugging it in on my dad's Macbook, and it was recognized immediately, so I don't think it is the phone. I followed all the steps listed on the Apple technical website, and nothing has worked. I've restarted my phone, reset my phone, updated iTunes and restarted my computer, but to no avail. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 and am running Windows 7. It charges just fine when plugged into the wall using the same cord. Other USB's work fine when plugged into the computer.
Today I went to use my phone, noticed it had a low battery and went to plug it in.
I plugged it into the wall with the charger and cable it came with. Nothing. I used my charger that came with my iPad. Nothing.
Switched the cables, used different outlets. Nothing. Used every cable I have on every port I have on my laptop. Nothing.
I've restarted it, restarted my computer with it plugged in, let it sit a while off, let it sit a while on while plugged in. I just don't know what else to do with it. It has the latest update as of about a week ago. I'm a bit far from the closest Apple store and rely on my phone for my income.
I've just connected my iPhone to my laptop with USB cable to sync / update but it wont recognise it (doewsnt come up in devices)
Have done all the troubleshooting stuff on Apple website (the usual turn on / turn off iphone, restart computer, uninstall and reinstall itunes) but no luck.
The US cable seems t be fine as its charging the phone while connected.
Whenever I try to plug my iPhone into my windows laptop to charge or sync music to or whatever, it just doesnt appear to recignise it at all. It doesn't appear in the Devices tab of iTunes, and doesn't appear in Devices with Removable Storage under My Computer.
I just plugged my brothers phone into my laptop and it recognised it perfectly! It appeared in both My Computer and iTunes...
I just bought an iphone 4 and can not get it to recognize my wifi. I have an ipad that does recognize the wifi. I have reset the network settings and have updated the software by connecting to itunes. What do I do now? Jeannie
I have iPhone 3G with IOS 3.1.3. My Windows 7 computer recognized the iPhone in My Computer but iTunes does not.I went through to reinstall iTunes and still does not help.
I just bought a new Iphone and synced it to my Itunes account. But I forgot to sync my old Iphone one last time. So there are songs on my old Iphone that weren't synced to Itunes. Now my new Iphone, which I synced to Itunes, doesn't have at least 20 or so songs that are on my old phone. I tried syncing my old phone to Itunes but it won't even recognize it or show up in Itunes. Can I sync my old phone to Itunes if I've already synced my new one?
when I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't recognize it, ive tried using different cables, differnt computers, updating my phone software, updating iTunes and none of it works, also when i want to charge my phone I have to turn it of, connect the wall charger to it, and turn it back on in order for it to start charging.
