Hey everyone,
I've installed the r6 Sense Modaco ROM and my 2d and 3d GMail accounts don't automatically sync...
Is it an issue due to the original ROM leaked from HTC or not ?
Is there a way to get back the auto-sync ??
Thanks !
-- ant1
its a bug, it works for some, not for others. I've had it working and not working on different roms, so its not device specific. Quick solution is to get k9 mail off the market and use that for your push accounts.
Hum ok. But is there a way to know which rom has this issue?
Is it specific to a rom, a device or something else?

I have this problem too, but it seem work just fine 2 or 3 days after flashing.
I found this problem in every sense ROM installed, I was wondering it caused the new version of gmail.. IMHO..
The second gmail account is given the choice to push emails after a few hours, just keep checking back under accounts & sync.

OK. I've installed k9mail for now as I don't like the HTC Mail App.
But I didn't understand, is the system goin to ask me if I wanna activate push on my Gmail accounts ? Is that simple ? Just wait ?
I don't really understand what causes that bug if it's going to reactivate itself...
If anyone understand if this bug in specific to HTC ? To FroYo ? Is it a config file miswritten ?
No one ? Because I have a personnal and a professional Gmail account...

Mine also startd working 3 days after i flashed the rom
You can force this by opening GMail-app, selecting your account, pressing menu and choosing the sync-button. After a few seconds your inbox will show up.
If you THEN go to the main menu under accounts & sync you can check mail-sync immediately.
But this does not solve the problem that your additional GMail account(s) won't get synced. It works for some time after a fresh install, but then suddenly it will stop working. Don't know why... This only seems to happen on Sense Froyo-ROMs.
EDIT: I just realized: If you go under accounts & sync in the main menu and select "sync all" button, then you start to receive notifications for your additional accounts again. At least it worked for me, let's see for how long
I have the same problem after installing the OFFICIAL FroYo update on the HTC Desire. The sync sync settings are there, but it just ignores the setting for all but the first account.
Same here, issue with official FroYo release. Second account won't push. It did at first but now nothing is coming in unless i sync manually.
The account that doesnt pusg is corporate gmail not sure if that's related though.
Really hoping somebody knows a fix because i prefer to roll back to 2.1 rather than not having push mail available
Oddly my other Gmail accounts are now syncing normally. Push mail is active too.
I didn't do anything for that... Strange !
I have the same problem, i install it yesterday, i havec 4 account, and just one push...
Thought that worked, and it did for a single message, but doesn't stick.
I'm also having the same problem since my Desire updated to Froyo last Sunday.
Out of 5 accounts only the first one does push email now. Doesn't seem to be related to the type of account since the 4 that don't push are a mix of normal gmail and corporate Google app accounts.
Would it help to compare our version numbers? My build says 2.09.405.8
Hope they solve it soon...
On the Google help site there is now the following posts:
Hi folks,
Thanks for your reports. We're right now looking into a general issue affecting the ability of additional accounts to auto-sync on some HTC devices with the latest version of the Android firmware.
To summarize what you've been reporting, this means if you have a device such as the HTC EVO 4G or HTC Desire, and you've recently updated your firmware to version 2.2, then auto-sync may only work for one account on your device -- the 'primary' account -- and not for any subsequent accounts you may have added to your phone.
In the meantime, you can still use Gmail on these devices with your additional account(s), but you'll have to manually check for new mail (Press <Menu>, then select Refresh).
We're in touch with HTC on this issue, and I'll be sure to update this post when I have news to share.
Regards,
Ethan

I have a temporary workaround for those who might be experiencing this issue on the devices I mentioned in my earlier post.
To get sync working again for the additional account(s), try following these steps:
1. Press < Menu > on your device.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Accounts & sync.
4. Select the affected account.
5. Tap the 'Sync Now' button at the bottom of the screen.
Repeat these steps for other affected accounts.
We continue to look into this issue and I'll be posting here with any updates.

So I guess that we now sit and wait however my 2nd Gmail account does sync on it's own every now and then so I have to question if the problem may be at least partly on the Gmail platform.
Hmm
Is there any news in this case? Can't get my Desire to sync my 2. and 3. gmail account...
Will it work with a custom rom?
In the custom roms, some of them writes they have a new version Gmail 2.2.1 i think... Will this custom rom have fixed the push problem for the second and third gmail account?
Nope. I have Fresh rom on my EVO, it has the newest gmail. no change.

Stock Sense Rom, Not rooted.
Me Too
I updated my rom and now cant sync my Facebook contacts. I can use the stand alone facebook app without any problems, but it will not let me add the facebook account to my phone, everytime i try it says "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
So I cant use any of the build in facebook stuff like friendstream or contact sync updates.
This sucks, bigtime, hope froyo upto will fix this.
I never had any problems with it ever untill today when I had tk wipe do to free space errors

Yes, I'm Facing the same thing as well !!
I am starting to think its more of a fb issue rather than the device...
anyone else can confirm? any official statement by HTC? and by when will it be fixed?
Cheers

I have EXACTLY the same issue - I flashed a new ROM yesterday (unbranded stock) and facebook doesn't show a single contact... Any ideas?
I was talkink with the german HTC Support.
They told me to hardreset my desire (again) and try to just setup WiFi and "Facebook for HTC Sensse"
After the sync i did not have any Facebookcontact in "Contacts" (need to make them visible: contacts --> Menu -> Show --> Facebook (0))
That (0) indicates that the contacts are not synced.
In addition when I manually sync "Facebook for HTC Sense", the live-feed takes a couple of seconds, Contacts takes less than 1 second.
i use the official, nonrooted htc "2.1-update1" rom (1.21.405 CL174215 release-keys)
Any better Idea?
One observation:
When I go
People -> Online directories -> Facebook -> Menu -> Refresh
I get a "connection error" instead of a successful sync - now if I would only know why!
I just tried that and i got xonnectiln error, intrestingly when i updated my profile it worked... but still not friends

I can confirm that - profile and wall works - sync contacts doesn't.
I have the same problem since yesterday.
So it's because of Facebook?
Hmmm..
I'm having the same problem.
I had to unroot my Desire as it would not let me upgrade to official 1.21 (Danish rom) and after unrooting and updating, facebook friends cannot be read or sync'ed.
Friendsstream and everything else is working perfectly, just not linking and facebook contacts.
I too get the Connection Error upon trying...
I think it is a FB issue - darned!
I was again talking to HTC Support and giving all Hints.
We also tried via Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, FB for HTC Sense --> Delete temp files
It went now to 3.levelsupport.
...and?

No, of course it did not work. HTC Sync is to sync from Outlook to Desire (or whatever)
Seems as they have same problem with Legend

Wanted to check if anyone is having problems with the stock HTC MAIL APP after Froyo OTA Update.
I use my Desire for work emailing and usually download my emails to both my Desire and notebook. I'm aware of the previous bug in 2.1 where emails get deleted of the mail server if they are deleted from the phone.
After the OTA update, I am still able to download emails to both my Desire and notebook, but if I "refresh / check for new mail" HTC Mail deletes all previously downloaded emails in my inbox.
I tried K-9 Mail and the same thing happens!
Is there a setting that I'm missing? Appreciate any help!
I was having the same issue,but have resolved it by changing my account settings from POP3 to IMAP.
Hope this helps...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks, but changing to IMAP (server port 143) didn't help.
Same thing happens. Any other suggestions?
Called the Australian arm of HTC Customer Service and surprisingly got a call back in about an hour. They did some "tests" and now acknowledge the problem and promised to call me back in a few days with a solution. Fingers crossed!
Will post results if successful for others with this problem.
Mail missing
Hi
Having the same problem and changing to IMAP did not help.
This is wery iritating.
omb
Someone from another thread suggested a workaround by setting your native client (outlook) to NOT delete emails from the mail server after it has been downloaded.
This wont' work for me as I have size restrictions on my account.
I've just been forwarding the emails to myself and the emails get stored in my SENT folder. Irritating, I know, but at least I have a copy of it on my phone.
smpt change smtp
"smpt change smtp"
I'm not sure what you mean, could you please elaborate! Thanks.
Any fix on this yet...driving me crazy.
This sucks, I even flashed a rom from Modaco that's totally stock except it has root, did a wipe before and still have the same thing.

After the Froyo update my HTC Mail app can't connnect to my google e-mail, using IMAP. I can still use my dedicated Gmail app for this, it's only the HTC mail app that will not connect.
Spoke with HTC Customer Service earlier, supposedly they're working on a patch to get the mail app working properly. Unfortunately, no indication of when!
I posted this in another thread:
Crap. I have the exact same problem. As soon as you download to your pc from the server the emails are gone. No solution yet? There is a workaround you can go to your native client (outlook) go to advanced setting and check "leave emails on server". Until this is fixed this is all we can do.
Here is a brief tutorial for Outlook 2003:
Under the Delivery section of the Advanced tab, Outlook 2003 lets you define how to handle downloaded and old emails on the mail server.
By default, Outlook 2003 downloads your emails from the server, and in effect deletes them from the server after successful downloads. Without needing access to the mail server itself, you can customize Outlook's email deletion behavior. Outlook 2003 gives you thee options.
Checking the Leave a copy of messages on the server checkbox instructs Outlook 2003 to leave a copy of your emails on the server indefinitely. You or your System Administrator will then need to delete the emails from the mail server itself.
Complementary options can refine how long, and under what conditions Outlook 2003 should leave a copy of your emails on the mail server; I have mine set to 30 days.
Hmmm...this must not be a very common problem at all. I seached a ton of threads and can't fine any complaints about this. Why the hell is this happening only two a few of us i have no clue???
Wiped data/cache before both rom installs.
Just wiped data/cache/ext and re-installed the third different (1 bone stock rom, 1 stock with ap2sd, one cyanogen fully custom) custom rom. Same problem as before. I've not given up and will hope for a fix in the next update from HTC or a patch.
I've done the same. Tried a few different ROMs and all have the same issue of deleting my INBOX.
I've reverted back to 2.1, pity as I was getting used to 2.2. Can't work without properly functioning mail app.
Will post a solution if and when it is finally available.

Hi, just had OTA software update to 2.12.110.4 and seems to have solved the problem................ finally
Thanks, do u have a link by chance?
Hello all. I've just set up my new Desire (2.2) with HTC Sync 3.0.5422. I'm synching calendars and contact with Outlook 2007. The contacts are working well both ways, but the calendar only syncs one way, from PC to phone. If I create or modify items on the phone, they do not show up in Outlook.
Anyone got any idea why this would happen? HTC Sync doesn't give any error messages, and all other sync activities seem to be working OK.
Thanks for any help!
you sure you are adding them to the right calendar on the phone? the default is a google calendar, you need to select pc sync from the drop down box (at the top of the page of create calendar item)
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am creating them in the "PC Sync" calendar. They have the green bar next to them like the items that have come from Outlook.
no idea then sorry, but to save you some time mine did that as well. I tried reinstalling HTC Sync a couple of times and a factory reset of the phone and it still didn't work (had no issues with the previous version) so I use gsyncit now instead.
OK, thanks for trying. I don't really want to be forced to do a sync with google calendar at the moment though. Anyone got any other ideas why this might be? Perhaps a security setting in Outlook or something?
I remember you have an option to sync calendar:
- from PC to phone
- from phone to PC
- using "last updated" feature - this one suits me best.
Look at sync options in calendar view in HTC SYnc.
Thanks for that, but I don't seem to be able to find the option you're referring to. Are you talking about HTC Sync on the PC (version 3.0.5422)? Where are the "Options"?
Here:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Oh right. Yes, I've tried all three settings on that, but I think that's only to do with items that have been updated on both devices prior to sync, so it know which one takes priority. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Has anyone out there managed to get 2 way calendar sync with Outlook 2007 and Desire 2.2 using HTC Sync 3? I've now seen many posts on other forums about this exact same problem, but they don't seem to be getting resolved!
Just another quick advise.
A story first: I have had a lot of redundand meetings in my Desire callendar. So I decided to make a cleanup of callendar entries by simply clearing the calendar cache. Succesed, but..
Seems like no longer meetings what were in my exchange (2003) up to cache deletion were able to re-sync. I discovered that new entries - just added after the cleanup have been imported successfully. Seemed like to only good solution was to format the phone to re-start the calendar service blank. But, I have installed the Google Sync tool and synced Outlook with Google calendar (I know, privacy etc...). It worked. I uninstalled the Sync tool and now I have all my "old" meetings in Google calendar, and new meetings being directly sync through HTC Sync.
Maybe you try to sync through Google?
Or just try to install the previous version of HTC Sync (2.x)

Well, I logged this problem with HTC tech support, and after going through the usual checks, they've admitted that there is a problem with HTC Sync:
"This is a problem with HTC Sync 3.0 and is under investigation and a new version will be out soon.
Please keep checking our website for when the update comes out."
A shame really, as it seems to do everything else just fine for me. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.
I had so many problems with HTC Sync, I did away with it and use a combination of Google Calendar Sync and MyPhoneExplorer for contacts. so far everything it syncing nicely.
I'va just tried the latest version.
The first time it did work.. but the second time I got an error and I had to restart htc sync. Since that error htc sync stopped to sync events from phone to PC.
Seems to be fixed with new version of HTC Sync
Yesterday an update was available to HTC Sync, bringing it up to version 3.0.5481. This seems to have fixed the problem I was having, meaning that calendar entries I create/edit on my phone are now synced back to my PC Outlook Calendar.
This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the release notes, but it now seems to be working for me, so I'd recommend upgrading if anyone else is having this problem!
Lee
Still not there
I am on 3.0.5481 but still exact same problem: existing calendar entries are not synched. Only the new created ones get synched.
In HTC Sync 2 there was a "repair" option to force a complete synch from PC to Phone (or viceversa), but I have not found Repair in the new V3.
If anyone gets any news please update the thread. I guess there are lots of people who would like to be able to synch all their existing meetings.
Can someone with the latest version confirm that the following issues are fixed?
Corruption of email addresses that stops outgoing mail from Outlook being sent
Corruption of phone numbers stopping phone from sending texts
Cannot use HTC Sync on more than one PC - eg work and home
Have you looked at 3.0.5481?

Still worrried about the other two and as MPE is working well at the moment am not tempted to try it.

I was having the exact problem mentioned: Outlook calendar stopped syncing properly using HTC Sync even though contacts were syncing just fine. After reading this I tied adding new entries to my Outlook calendar and sure enough they were added to my phone. Went through and remade all of my future appointments and now my calendar seems to be in order again.
Does anyone know what the hell caused this?
(Also, my signature needs updating!)
If you give up on HTC Sync you might want to look at MyPhoneExplorer as an alternative. I find it a lot less destructive.
Hi,
Since I upgraded to Jelly Bean, I can't get the stock calendar app to sync with my exchange account... It did work just fine with ICS 4.0.4 stock calendar, as well as with Touchdown. With JB, I have not been able to get it working with stock calendar... but it does work with Touchdown.
Under settings in the calendar stock app, I see the following entries:
- General settings
- my exchange account
- my gmail account
- About Calendar
When I click on the exchange account, it says " no calendar".
I thought it might have been an issue with the way I restored the account from TB. I restarted from scratch, same problem. Did several factory resets, same. Thought it could have been a bad flash, now I have flashed 4.1.1 and still the exact same problem...
I really don't see anymore what can be causing this. It is my only problem with JB which otherwise is just great...
Any suggestion on where the problem could come from?
Thank you.
Ah, strange. I just thought that I'd acticate "automatic push" mode, and guess what, my calendar items showed up in the stock calendar app...
I have always had my exchange account configured to manual (I want to decide when I see my work email) but this never did have an effect on calendar sync... Very strange.
I leave the topic here in case someone would have the same problem...
Thanks for that, been annoying me all day. Works a treat

Thanks for finding that solution. I tried several things last night and couldn't get it working. I was running ICS on my Rezound without that issue but I'm guessing it was due to Sense. I'm not a fan of automatic push but my exchange calendar is important.
two methods.
one: use exchang mail dirctly with out gmail.
then: use a google account and calender is automatically sync after that

I think that activating push was the way for the calendar to start syncing but then I went back to manual only for what I think is the email setting of Exchange account, and I have calendar syncing fine, while emails are fetched only when I explicitly ask. To me the activation of push was only a trigger, that I was able to undo later on...
That worked for me as well.

I've been helping my Dad with his T-Mobile Galaxy SII on AOKP JB Milestone, he's having the same issue right now with his Exchange Calendar not showing all appointments. Push has always been enabled. However it only shows random items from his Calendar, not all the items. I've wiped the device, reflashed, set up the Exchange account before the Google account, nothing seems to fix it. Only a few items from the Exchange Calendar show up.....
I've been searching on this issue it feels like forever now and your post is the closest I've found to the issue lol
Thanks for this! I was frustrated because the Google Calendar sync doesn't sync everything for some reason, but then I couldn't get the exchange calendar to sync. I switched to push, set up to display the calendar, and switched back to manual sync.
We'll see how it goes.
So I can also confirm the calendar continues to sync after setting sync back to manual.
I got a new calendar entry that synced and also edited another and those changes are also on my phone.
I still have problems to sync my exchange agenda with HTC desire HD, try all the suggestion meantion here.
Somebody a other suggestion.
I have no issues with ICS
Thanks

Please go star this item and comment about how you can't get it to reproduce
1) add exchange account, but set sync to "manual"
2) go to Mail and download all your mail ("sync")
3) Go to Calendar and see that you can't add your Exhchange calendar as a possible calendar
4) go back and set your Exchange settings to "push"
5) go back to calendar and see your Exhange calendar has appeared
Hi there,
I have set up hotmail account on my htc one v, but seems I have some problems from day 1.
1. there are errors about failed sync
2. even trying to receive mail manually via standard mail soft I got info about "No new mails" - but I know that there are new mails.
It's my day 1 on htc one v.
I'm using official rom and soft.
I have provided correct account details and password.
any ideas?
m.hotmail.com server is down for almost 3 weeks already. A friend of mine with S3 has same problem.
The workaround is download Hotmail App from Google Play. It works as it has a validation process with a unique no.
well to be honest it sux totally especially a lot of apps are connected with that server -.-
no one is going to fix that? who should I contact about it?
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/hotmail
well seems that I need to wait for that
FIX
I also had problems with the hotmail sync, but today i made an system update and after that i visited hotmail.com with the stock browser.
Then i got the new e-mail notifications.
I hope this fixes your problems too.
