I've read in many of the forums that one of the reasons for the official Froyo release for Droid X is problem with Exchange. Does the 2.2 leak from a month ago have a problem with Exchange?

Development geeks have ALREADY got the HTC Desire ROM working on the Nexus One EURODROID - Google Android phone news. Its for nexus one and has watermarks so its not available yet but im sure this will accelerate the availability of flash for us.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy wife just got the Droid Inc, which was my first experience with the android os and I have to say, wow! I love it! My only issue is the Droid Inc doesn't support more than one exchange accounts and I have 6. I have read that the original Droid did support multiple exchange accounts, but haven't seen if the droid x does or not. Before I go through the trouble of ordering one and waiting on it to come in, can anybody confirm or deny if the droid x does support multiple exchange account and if so, is there a limit to that number.
View 11 Replies View RelatedHere's my issue: Came from a windows mobile phone. However, one area winmo is obviously good at is exchange support. Here's what I mean:
I regularly receive and forward large attachments (PDFS - usually 10 megs or so), and the winmo phone made it easy to do so when out of the office. I'd just hit forward and away it would go. The phone would tell the exchange server to forward the mail, and it was done. The phone never actually downloaded any attachments to forward, unless of course I wanted to download it for viewing.
I've found this phone instead of just telling the exchange server to forward the message actually has to download the attachment, then resend the attachment. This is stupidity in it's fullest when working with a 10 meg attachment. Instead of taking a split second to forward something it'll take minutes to download, then minutes to upload, and obviously shorten battery life considerably. So my question is - am I missing settings, or is the installed mail application not able to do so - and are there any android mail applications that will forward attachments off an exchange server without actually downloading the attachment first?
A buddy at work got an Incredible and he entered email address and PW and everything was set up for him automatically, full email/contacts/calendar sync, PIN lock/wipe set up.I was looking through some of the screen shots of the Incredible Exchange support, and frankly, Exchange support on the Incredible kicks the Droid's a** in this area.Image Gallery: Verizon HTC DROID Incredible; Functions and Applications | ZDNet Photo Gallery I'm impressed. HTC must have done a ton of work in this area, assuming that the basic exchange functionality in 2.1 on the Incredible is the same that comes w/2.1 on the Droid.If that support could be ported to the Droid (either as an entire ROM, or just the exchange support sliced off) that would be amazing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan someone with 2.1 please tell me if there are any changes/enhancements to the HTC built exchange support on the device?I'd love to upgrade, but mine is a company phone and the IT guys would probably just take it away if I got into trouble with it.Specifically, is any of the following changed? I expect most of these answers to be no, but any yes would be great.
1. Corporate directory: Is it possible to see phone numbers now in addition to emails? Is it still 10 menus deep?
2. Is there autosync and notifications for email subfolders?
3. Out of Office reply options?
4. Can you sync tasks?
5. Does the calendar have a week view?
6. Notifications on 1.5 only show a "new email" message, does 2.1 show sender/subject info in the notification (like gmail and txts do)?Also, is TouchDown available on the 2.1 market, or is it protected?
I installed the leaked froyo& i'm pretty impressed with it..internet is reallly fast and flash works great .. there are some bugs & i was wondering when the official froyo comes out will i still be able to get the official version? i can deal with the leaked bugs for now but i want the real deal when it's available..

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo right now I'm running the 2.3.13 leaked version (haven't upgraded to the now public 2.3.15 yet) and have Tranquility with REVOlution R2 theme installed. I guess my question is this:What's the benefit of going with the OTA upgrade vs. the leaked 2.3.15 (which I can easily upgrade to from the .13 build)?Is it worth all the hassle at this point to even consider the OTA or should I just wait it out?The other thing is I can't really tell what the difference between .13 and .15 are and if there's even any difference between the OTA and the leaked .15 build. I'm pretty content with my phone the way it is now, esp. with Tranq ROM and REVO R2 theme. I just wanted to get some opinions before I go spend another night toying with my phone. Is there even anyone here that paid for the leaked 2.3.15 and now has the OTA that may actually know if there's a (noticeable) difference between the leaked and the OTA.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have, to me at least, a very stable 2.3.9 from when the original leak was pushed out. What a joy over 2.1!
I've been reading about deodexing, ROMs, Themes etc. Alot of this is for the OTA 2.2 which I find in my searches. All this requires root, which I am now prepared to do.
Is this the best way/most current way to root the 2.3.9?

Or will this work on the leaked 2.2?

I really don't want to go the route of downgrading to 2.1, then back again, nor do I want the OTA 2.2.
Here you go. Just install and enjoy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am about to get myself the hero, and I know there's Exchange support but I still want to make sure some point:
1. Can I see appointments from my Google calendar alongside with my exchange calendar in a single view?
2. can I sync contacts from Exchange over the air? I mean that new contacts will be pushed into my phone, without manual or timed syncing.
3. I see there are some issues with SSL or password policy when connecting to exchange. Are those still valid?
4. Can I log into a Google Apps account, instead of a regular Google account?
How is the leaked 2.2 for DX? Do you think that the leaked 2.2 is missing anything that the official OTA will have? I want to try out the leaked 2.2, but I have worries about the stability.
View 10 Replies View Relatedi understand a lot of you are busy trying to fix this mess that is the OTA. I for one want to thank all of you that have put in your personal time and hard work to do for this community the things you have done. I also understand you have told everyone that when you do this stuff with your phone there is a risk. That being said what is the best way to go from 2.3.9 to 2.3.15 and stay rooted. I am currently running flyx on my phone as well that i love and i have a black status bar as well not sure if this makes a difference. Thank you for your help.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if the Evo supports multiple exchange accounts. I have a coworker that has a stock nexus one and he is able to add multiple exchange accounts effortlessly. I know that there are alternative solutions like touchdown and roadsync but why would a stock nexus one be able to and we are not. I would rather not have to install a 3rd party app to get the same experience. Is this a limitation of our version of android or did HTC take this out?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've done a bit of searching to find out whether or not any current Android phone from any US carrier (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile) can natively pull in mail, contacts, and calendar events from an exchange server. my head is spinning, doesn't seem like anyone has a clear cut answer. some things work some don't.It seems the consensus is:email - yes but no subfolders contacts - yes? calendar - sometimes Is this list accurate or am i way off base? My issue is that I need to find out if we can allow users at the office buy Android phones, the stipulation is that mail, contacts, and calendar events must sync with Exchange 2007. needs to be done natively. Can any US Andoid-based phone do this? If Yes, what US phone or Android version will do these things? There was this post but no one replied:Android 2.x - Realistic Exchange Support?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe just got two Motorola Droid phones to play with here at the office and have a few questions about what others are seeing in regards to Exchange/ActiveSync support.These are both on Verizon and have been tested with WiFi and 3G- issue is present on both networks.First of all, initial setup and sync works fine on our Exchange 2007 SP2 system. After that however things start to go down hill.One of the big problems we've been seeing on these units is that the stock email client seems to randomly stop syncing emails with no failure or other error message visible in the client.Dropped by #android-dev and got some instructions for turning debugging on and ended up finding this in the logs:
03-11 20:12:32.647 D/Inbox(Exchange)( 1615): sync, sending Email syncKey: 40
03-11 20:12:33.320 V/EasParser( 1615): Class: Email
03-11 20:12:33.320 V/EasParser( 1615): SyncKey: 40
03-11 20:12:33.327 D/Inbox(Exchange)( 1615): Parsed key for Inbox: 40
03-11 20:12:33.327 D/Inbox(Exchange)( 1615): !! SyncKey hasn't changed, setting moreAvailable = false
03-11 20:12:33.381 D/Inbox(Exchange)( 1615): Inbox SyncKey saved as: 40
03-11 20:12:33.389 D/Inbox(Exchange)( 1615): Returning moreAvailable = false
03-11 20:12:33.389 D/Inbox(Exchange)( 1615): Sync finished
Obviously Android doesn't think anything's changed on the Exchange server even though there are three new messages visible in OWA. None of our other device users (Win Mobile / iPhone / etc) have reported any problems with ActiveSync.I ran a query on the server and noticed that we have a bunch of users running the following ActiveSync implementation:
TouchDown(MSRPC)/5.1.0026
Moxier-Android/1.0
Android-EAS/0.1 (HTC Client presumably?)
Our stock phones show as Android/0.3. My question is- has anyone else had similar issues? Does TouchDown fix all of this and work reliably for corporate users? I'm rather shocked that Verizon is marketing these as the be-all-end-all phone with Exchange support but we tend to think of email as a rather basic necessity for a smartphone. Any Nexus One users have issues on 2.1? (I wonder if it's specific to the Motorola build- I assume the Nexus One would use the same stock email client)
I understand remote wipe is finally supported in 2.2 but I can't seem to find a full Exchange feature list. What works, what's buggy, what doesn't work at all? I have corporate users wanting to move from BlackBerry to the Droid X but as the IT department I need to know what problems to expect before allowing them to change phones.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know a lot of people have been having tons of issues involving the htc mail connecting to exchange activesync to get their email, contacts and calendar. It is hit or miss whether it worked for lots of folks.I couldn't get it working for the life of me, so took the easy way out and un-checked "use ssl 128 bit" on the exchange server, and it started working... However, this creates a huge security issue, leaving your exchange outlook web access unencrypted. I accepted this fact for a couple weeks, as I needed the email support really bad for a project I was working on. Now that I'm done with that project, I returned to this issue, definitely wanting to plug the security hole I so reluctantly opened up. Telling myself i will NOT drop a $20 for touchdown exchange client, after being told that my incredible has "exchange support".After about 6 hours of scrubbing through microsoft kb's I discovered the answer.Exchange ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access errors occur when SSL or forms-based authentication is required for Exchange Server 2003 (ms kb 817379)Use Resolution method #2. Which creates a virtual directory (with no ssl access) that is only accessible by the same server computer. You still set up the inc email client the same, including checkmarking the "this server requires a ssl connection" What happens is your inc can now authenticate by SSL to the exchange web access, and it then redirects access locally on the server to the newly created virtual directory.
in a nutshell, it just ends up working!Caveat, you either need to be the exchange server admin to do the tasks in the method #2, or know the exchange server admin at your company (and bring him nice techie toys) I've only tested this on our exchange 2003 standard server. I have no idea what to do with a 2007 server I understand the exchange 2010 server also has no official support either, but is currently being worked on.I just thought i'd throw this out there for those who still may be having this issue.If it helps even one other company besides ours, it was worth the effort!
I came from Blackberry to EVO. Blackberry had the Blackberry Enterprise Server, which is equivalent to the Exchange ActiveSync Server. BES was an extra $30/month. Does EAS cost extra per month, too?Is EAS something I can just configure once I figure out the right information for the domain and everything? Or is this something that actually HAS to be supported by my company in order for it to physically work. Like BES was.
Did HTC add support for Multiple Exchange Accounts yet, or do you have to root and not use sense to get that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a minor rant, and I'm not attempting to pick on any one individual. I'm just going crazy reading a new thread every 5 minutes of someone discovering a new issue with their X after installing a leaked and of course UNOFFICIAL build of Froyo. I mean you've already been warned of the potential problems and risks you might face with installing the leaked build; so why take the chance of potentially bricking your phone? Either way, maybe the mods can create a separate Froyo sub-forum for the time being, until we finally see an official release.
