Motorola Droid 4 :: Email Won't Reverse Sync To PC
Feb 28, 2012
My gmail works like this; gmail loads both phone and PC with new mail. I can delete selected new mail on PC, then power the phone off/on and the phone updates to show that the mail was deleted. My hotmail loads both phone and PC with new mail. I delete mail on PC and power phone off/on but it doesn't update on the phone. I have 8 emails on PC and 87 emails on the phone. If hotmail can comunicate with the phone to load mail, why won't it comunicate with the phone to delete mail?
HTC has enabled a reverse tethering feature called Internet Passthrough that allows unrooted smartphones to use the internet connections of standard computers -- via a USB cable connection.
Can we ever expect Motorola to provide the same functionality?
I am trying to set my email sync so that it only syncs one way. When I delete an email on my phone, I don't want it to be deleted on the server. I've seen some information about checking "keep a copy on server"
I recently noticed that I did not receive some critical emails from my Gmail account.I was able to manually sync the my email, but auto sync is no longer working.While trying to diagnose the problem I realized that my Yahoo Mail was also not updating on my device.My Yahoo account continuously trying to sync until finally it timed out.I tried to sync again and it gave an error message that it could not conntect to url..I tried everything with Yahoo Mail and finally deleted the account and tried to reinstall the account. At that point it would not let me rebuild the account, each time indicating it could not connect to the server.
I tried using the Yahoo mail app and I tried using the Motorola Droid mail app. Both failed to allow me to rebuild my account.I have had these accounts for quite some time, so something has changed in the last week that has caused my mail sync to suddenly fail.Gmail will update manually. Yahoo mail account is now deleted and will not allow rebuild.I have three Comcast mail accounts that sync with the Motorola email client without problems.I believe there may be a deeper issue with Yahoo mail because I also found my desktop client (Thunderbird) will no longer get Yahoo mail updates.
Trying to set up corporate email sync. It sets up fine and pulls down my calendar, but won't get the email. When I try to view the email, I get a "connection error" message. It says it can't sync with the exchange server.
Tech support on the phone was useless - told me to go t the store and try it on another phone. really? The automated voice repsonse system said to download the instructions for getting the right exchange server settings to give to IT. I went tot he website and when I clicked on the link tot he file, it said - "sorry - that answer is not available"
I've been dealing with this fall morning, and am really frustrated - just needed to vent. If I can't get this worked out in short order I'm going to return the phone, and go back to the old "dumb phone"
I am trying to sync my Razr to my AOL email account. Right now I can't get both to talk to each other and can't find any support in AOL settings or on my phone.
I used the email app to setup my AOL email. I have noticed that when I delete email on my computer (AOL account) that those deletions are not appearing on my Razr. I used an OG Droid before the Razr and never had this issue- they are deleted on the Droid when the account syncs.
On my unrooted Droid Razr Maxx my email (Gmail works properly) doesn't sync all the time. Sometimes, it syncs as they are received and sometimes I have to refresh. If I don't refresh every hour I can an entire day without receiving an email.
My issues since Jelly Bean upgrade. the email client that came with my Maxx HD does not auto sync anymore, my AOL email does not sync at all even after i double check for the right password. I keep getting an error "The password and username you entered did not authenticate with your email provider." I never got this error prior to the Jelly Bean Update. I even changed my password for my aol account and entered the new password in the phone. where the hell did speed dials go.
I have a DroidX version 2.2.1 and I use Corporate email. When I type in a new Calendar event into the phone it sync's to Google fine but it does not sync to my Corp Calendar. The same happens for Contacts. Here's what I've found:
1) Phone to Google works 2) Phone to Corp does not work 3) Corp to Phone works 4) Corp to Google does not work
When I first setup the phone, I setup Corp email and Gmail and the sync worked well. Some time later I removed my Corp email account from the phone only to re-add it a couple weeks later. Since then, the sync does not work the way it once did. I have set the phone so that my Corp account is the default account. I receive email on the phone with no issues. I want my Corp Calendar/Contacts to match my phone no matter whether I enter them from the phone, Google or my Corp Desktop.
I'm using the email app for my work email. It's using the IMAP protocol. I'm not using the corporate sync functionality. After doing a manual sync by pressing the refresh icon, I would get emails pushed to my phone fine. However, after some time emails stop getting pushed to my phone. The period of time when push seems to be working varies around a few hours. When it stops working I have to do a manual sync again in order to get push to work for another few hours.
I just noticed that my calendar was not syncing with my Google calendar, and went in to settions>accounts and noticed that the sync brower (which was new to me) had stalled and turned the sync circle "red". I then shut off sync browser and rebooted a couple times and my calendar is now synced. Seems that Google is adding feattures as don't recall seeing sync browser.Just curious, is there a webpage that documents or advises updates to this device so that I don't scratch my head each time? The "Apps" do a great job of advising changes, sure would be nice to see changes in the OS.
On my Droid Razr Maxx using Corporate Sync with the built-in email client attached to an Exchange 2010 server, when i receive an email that is digitally signed (but not encrypted) any and all attachments do not come with the email. (no paperclip symbol). I receive all other attachments fine when the email is not digitally signed.Using Verizon Wireless as carrier.if the signed email was sent to my Gmail account all attachments appear as normal.
When I set up my DroidX, I set up my e-mail account using my Verizon.net email account. I would like to remove this account, but can't find how to do this under the e-mail app settings, nor does the Verizon account show up under Accounts
My calendar syncs to the phone, but not the otherway. Also, on the sync page where calendar sync esists, it says it has synced when it hasn't. also the sync symbol is greyed out but is barely visible when it is doing a sync for gmail, and calendar.
My Droil Pro last week worked fine with Sync and Blue Tooth. Then it started to disconnect. After connecting to Sync, in a about 15 seconds it will suddenly disconnect from Sync The Blue Tooth is still connected and it will stream music from my phone to Sync with no problems but the phone will not stay connected.
It's been over 24 hours since the GB update and the sync icon is still present. I have also deleted and re-installed my 2 gmail accounts as well as my corporate email and a yahoo account. Also cleared the phone's cache. All email seems to be syncing properly though gmail appears a little on the slow side and some email is appearing in the wrong folder on the phone. For example, some unread emails are showing up in the gmail all mail folder rather than the gmail inbox. If I go online with a computer, gmail has it correctly...it's just not correct on the phone after the GB update.
did a factory reset on my phone to try and fix other problems. I setup my Corporate Sync account and it is getting emails from the exchange server but it is not syncing my calendar. Also when I go into the Blur "My Accounts" and select "Corporate Sync" there is no username listed just ****** for password and no way to turn on calendar sync. Also, if I hit the OK button I get an error that the username must not be blank. This is very tuff to correct since the username field is disabled and I am also unable to delete the account to set it up again. Really wish Blur was an option on this phone until they had these bugs fixed! I can from a Droid 1 with vanilla Android it wasn't pretty but I will take functioning over looks EVERY time.
I've had my phone since January. Its always super slow and the battery is super bad.Also, at times it just turns off and acts up. But my main concern here the constant sync sign that I get next to the 3G logo. What does it mean and how do I get it out? And... is there a reason why my 3G and antenna bar are colored white at times and blue at other times?
I don't know if I'm missing something obvious but I see several of you use this so maybe you can tell me. I have never used this on my X before (did use it on a previous non-smartphone). I have my contacts synced to my google account. I wanted a little reduncancy so thought I would try the backup assistant. So I ran it and set up a PIN. I clicked Sync Now and it says it is syncing but the count stays at 0 for both Backed up and Pending. Then it lists the sync as successful but no contacts were synced.
I went online to my account and looked just to make sure it wasn't just reporting it wrong on my phone but no contacts are in the list there. There don't seem to be any settings to change except for the Recurring Sync time - am I missing something else? I did Force stop the app and the client and battery pull and cache partition wipe with no change.
My AOL mail will not sync on my droid razr maxx hd. It had not synced for 2 days, I deleted the account, when I tried to add it again it will not connect to the server.
I received the GB update and I have not received any email from my corporate accout. It was working just fine prior to the update. I have deleted the accout and have tried to add it back in but it is not working. I get an "invalid username or passord" error. I have checked and double checked and all of the settings are unchanged.Anyone else having this problem and if you fixed it how did you do it?
With my original Droid (first ever model) I could easily sync to all my folders of pictures on Picasa Web. With my Motorola Bionic I am unable to do so.
I haven't been able to get the phone to sync my dismissals of an appointment or invite in either direction. For example, if I dismiss a 3 PM appointment on my phone, the reminder still shows up on my webmail (even if I refresh webmail). If I dismiss a 4 PM appointment on my webmail, it continues to show up in my phone Notifications regardless. Yet everything else in my calendar sync is working fine.
I tested this in Moxier, Touchdown, and RoadSync too. RoadSync had the exact same problem. Curiously, Moxier would sync dismissals from the phone to the PC, but not from the PC to the phone. Touchdown was the exact opposite: It would sync dismissals from the PC to the phone, but not from the phone to the PC.
I had assumed this would be standard functionality. Is my Exchange server set up funny? Or is it this way intentionally, because some users want to be able to dismiss appointments on one device but still have them show up on another?
every time a new email comes in, I receive a notification alert. Since the notification is useful for other critical functions (receiving alerts on a system down - I am a Network dude), I cannot disable notifications. I find it very annoying that I have to run over to my phone every time I receive an email, thinking it might be a system down notification. I cannot selectively disable notifications by account.On My Xoom tablet, when setting up accounts, I have the option to Sync the account automatically, or not. If automatic sync is off, I can check my email at my leaisure, while only receiving notifications for important events.
I went to Menu, Manage Apps, then Manage All Apps, then Accounts & Sync Settings.I cleared the cache, and then pressed on "Clear Data".Did I make a mistake by doing this, possibly deleting something I shouldn't have?
So im back on the Android Band Wagon(should have never left) was on Windows 8.1 phone. question is all my contacts were on the windows phone i think on outlook cloud. Is there a way to sync Google contacts with Outlook contacts and have facebook pictures also all combined into the phone app or main contacts screen, seems some of my contacts are missing or im doing somithing wrong.
