Hi,
A couple of days ago, I allready posted this thread but somehow nobody's responding.
Since last week I'm the owner of an HTC Hero. One of the features I like(d) most is the support for Push-mail. But since a few days it seems to be broken and I can't get it fixed.
I'm having Zarafa with Z-Push (open source Exchange-implementation) which worked fine first couple of days, but all of a sudden it stopped working. This is my config:
Zarafa mailserver on Debian Linux with Apache and (self-signed) SSL certificate. This is the configuration which worked until 2 days ago and nothing changed on that config.
This is what I tried:
- Turn phone off and on: Does not work
- Manually sync: Works; Push sometimes keeps working for up to one hour and then stops also.
- Disable downloading on arrival and start polling every [x] minutes/hours: Works
- Disable SSL (pushmail over http in stead of https): Does not work
- Remove and re-add account: Does not work
- Start using WiFi in stead of 3G: Does not work
I checked the serverlogs of of my mailserver but I can't find anything strange.
In another forum I found somebody who uses Exchange 2003 which stopped syncing after several days without any reason.
I'd like to keep using Push-mail because (AFAIK) it isn't exhausting the battery as much as polling every [x] minutes.
Does anybody have a clue on how to solve this or at least how to troubleshoot this?

I hope I'll have more luck in Q&A.
Its probably because nobody has used the same set up as yourself, I for one have not heard of half the stuff in your post so wouldn't be able to answer.
You don't give much info as to whats wrong, it just "stops working". Do you get errors? is it trying to connect? Timing out?
Installed anything after installing this?
Is the exchange actually working to push email? I mean on the server side not the phone?
Network? Tried Turning the phone off and back on? Tried a hard reset and start again?
Sometimes I do a hard reset if something doesnt work and install things 1 by 1 after to see what causes the issue, its usually something thats conflicting.
Hi,
Thnx for your reply. I've been gone for several days, so that's why I didn't respond earlier.
I've been using Zarafa for quite some time, also with another phone (SE Xperia X1) and Push-mail works perfectly there. And it's been working fine for several days on the Hero too, but all of a sudden it stopped. I can make it work for up to an hour (at very most) by setting the download frequency to 'on arrival' which also proofs the server-side should be OK.
I'm not getting any errormessages, not on the phone nor on the server.
I've tried all things you mentioned, except a hard-reset. I'll try that later today as I want to make a backup first.
The funny thing is that I saw somebody else at this forum having the same symptoms, only with a real MS Exchange-server. Sadly enough, I can't find that post anymore...
Shoot...
A couple of days ago I removed some applications (funny gadgets, nothing special) because I didn't use them anymore. And yesterday I set the DL-frequency to 'on arrival' and until now it works flawlessly!
I don't know if there's any relation between these 2 events but somehow it's working again.

I was getting 15-20 second gps locks when I had radio .40 and DCD 3.2.6, but as soon as I upgraded the radio and DCD then it's taking like over 7-9 minutes to get a lock. Sometimes it won't lock at all anymore unless I do a hard reset on the phone. I'm not sure what happened. Does anybody have any ideas? Look at my signiture below for my current configuration.
What's the best Radio and ROM to use right now with the least amount of problems, etc.? I was looking at the V2.2 heavy and light, but I'm not sure if I really understand much about what they are about or the differences in what I have now. I think my biggest problem is with text messaging. If I do it a lot I have to keep restarting my phone because the memory goes down to zero in no time at all. Infact, I have to keep constantly clearing the memory if I use any programs at all. Thanks for your help and time!
Try either 3.3.4 or 3.2.6. I prefer 3.3.4
after all of my testing i ended up sticking with 3.2.6. did you do the aGPS fix? have you checked the QPST settings since your flash? generally, these settings should stick, but in some cases; such as when you need a new a-key, these settings are lost. my last flash removed all my QPST settings and i couldnt lock until i did the aGPS fix again with the updated IP address and port.
Well, in the past it kept all the information after I did the upgrade, so I just assumed it still did. I didn't need a new A-Key. I guess I'll check the QPST settings and do the aGPS fix again. It's been so long ago since I did all the GPS stuff I can't remember what I did and didn't do. I still do get locks but they take forever now and sometimes I don't get them until I restart the phone.
Why are you sticking with 3.2.6? Why don't you like 4.1.2 or 2.2 heavy or light? I've always had the memory problem where if I use programs it just eats up my memory and I don't get most of it back after exiting the software, and if I use my text messaging then my memory just goes down to zero in no time flat and I can't recover it unless I'm constatly restarting my phone. There must be some kind of fix for this. Please let me know. Thanks.. Steve

the QPST settings have changed, so if you did it a while ago you probably just need to update it. youll be locking again after that. ive tested all of dcds roms quite a bit, and always ended up back at 3.2.6 or 3.2.5. im really happy with the speed and everything works exactly as it should. i have a pretty heavy today screen load as well as running several apps at the same time. i didnt like the 4.x.x roms for a couple of reasons. the unread text message thing bugged me alot. i also had a problem with random hard resets, which i was not a fan of.

Are the changes in the AGPS thread?
yes they are
Oh, really? Then that's probably part of the problem. I changed them maybe a year ago or longer. I tried running QPST to check and it's giving me an error message when I start it, so I'm going to have to try to reinstall it and see if that fixes it. Also, the links for the pictures are dead and they aren't coming up anymore, it makes it harder to figure it out.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
I ran the Serf Telus aGPS Provisioning CAB file and that seemed to help. I sometimes get locks under 1 minute now, but sometimes it won't lock at all and I have to keep soft booting the phone to get it working.
Oh, so that's why my phone keeps resetting? It's not hard resetting I think it's just soft resetting. At first I didn't like the unread text message thing, but now I do because I get a lot of text messages and when I go to read them it doesn't mark them all as read in the group and I can read them when I get a chance.
I still had the memory issues with the 3.2.6 ROM with my memory going down to nothing, especually when I did text messages, I had to keep restarting my phone. That's been a problem I had with all my ROMs. I wonder why that is? Could it be the version of the MMS software I'm using? Is it the latest version?
Maybe I should go to the MR1 ROM? I still will be able to use the GPS and the WiFiRouter software with it right? Maybe that will solve all my problems? What about the 2.2 light and heavy ROMs? Does anybody know anything about those? Thanks for your help and time...

Well, I uninstalled QPST and reinstalled it and it worked this time without any error messages. It seems if I don't use it for a while it gives me a error message if I try to use it again and I have to uninstall it and reinstall it and then it works OK. I don't remember the error message, but I think it's something about can't find a server or something.
Anyways, you were right about the information I had being old and not correct. I had 66.174.95.132 and 8888 instead of PDE IP Address: 216.198.139.92 and PDE Port Number: 8889. I corrected it and it still seems to take about 56 seconds to get a lock, but hopefully now it will be more reliable in getting the locks. I seem to remember in the past getting locks in less then 10-15 seconds, and I wonder why I can't get locks like that anymore.
Thanks for the help!
Well, I was wrong, I'm getting 15-20 second locks now and I'm getting twice the satalites, up too like 9 satelites and I was getting 1/2 that before and it's a lot more accurate now. Before when I was using Google Maps, I could see it was off like about 50-75ft, but now it's spot on, on my location. Hopefully someone knows the answers to some of my previous questions and can get back to me. Thanks..
I too was having this same exact problem and I had to update the QPST IP address and port again. Mine had reverted to the same thing that Apota's had, with the exception of my default port being 8888. All is working well now that I reset the QPST IP address. I get 6-8 sats and locks in about 10 seconds.
I had been experimenting with some of the RyanMogul's new ROMs when this broke for me. I tried 2.1 light and it stopped working. I'm currently running 1.1 light with it functioning after reusing QPST.

I just upgraded to the v2.2 light. I think I'm going to have to get use to it because the interface is so different, but I got a GPS lock with my TomTom GPS software in about 4 seconds. I couldn't believe it. I haven't seen a lock that fast before. It's really awesome! LOL
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with the click on my HD2.
It is a Portuguese Rom.
It's always one hour before! I tried to change the time and settings to GMT Lisbon/London, and goes fine. When I connect to the internet, and update some stuff, especially the weather, the GMT goes back to Casablanca.... meaning, 1 hour before!
I tried to change the setting in Manilla settings with now sucess.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
I also had this problem some weeks ago... I corrected it by setting in the data connetion settings the option "sync time with internet" in sense settings.
Also in the start menu I had an app/button which was called "Carrier Time". It seems like it syncs it with the carrier or cell im logged in or something like that.
Are you using "My location" feature?

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. Yes i'm using my location.
I think I already got it. It's the sync time with the internet. I turned it off.
I think everything is ok now.
Thank you very much.
Time/Location Problem
Hope this is the right place for this question - I have a Telstra HD2 and live in Sydney. However, whenever I do a soft reset/hard reset the default location for time, etc reverts to Brisbane, which is in another state. Creates problems with time, especially daylight saving. I have tried changing all the usual options but with no success.
Does anyone know of any registry setting, etc that might apply. This is my second HD2 (previous one had a GPS problem and was exchanged for a new one - and still the same problem. I also noticed the demo HD2 in the Telstra store today was set to Brisbane as the default location (again, the shop is in Sydney).
Any help???

As suggested above turn of sync internet time and set your time zone manually to Sydney. If you hard reset your phone you will have to this procedure again. Soft resets are fine!

Thanks for the advice, I had tried the above, but with no success. However, I had also posted on the Forum for the Telstra HD2 9193 version and received the answer below from Tmorgan4 which seems to have fixed the problem so I am quoting it here for the benefit of anyone else who might have a similar problem. There are so many places that can cause a problem, the trick is to find the correct one.
Tmorgan 4 says: "I think I used to fix it via Settings Page - All Settings (down bottom right) - Personal - Phone. Under that is a GSM/UMTS Services Tab. Under Time Syncronization disable it."

The problem is there are three ways to sync the time on the HD2:
1) Sync with Internet
2) Sync with telecom provider
3) Sync with Activesync
The first two options use location. If your location is incorrectly determined, disable the location service and set your location manually.
It is my experience the Telco Provider time is not so reliable
Yesterday My provider insisted it was 6:05 when actually it was 10:25.... (I now Disabled it)
Internet time / Activesync time are more reliable, if your location is correct.
Disable location service if the phone determines your location wrong.
I do not know, but I can imagine syncing through Activesync can cause problems if your computer is in a different timezone as your phone (eg, computer has London as location and phone has Amsterdam as location)
Concluding:
Four settings can influence time on your phone: Activesync, Internet Time, Telco Provider and Location services.

Hi Friends,
Few days a go as I was watching youtube videos for around 45 minutes continuously through the youtube app. The streaming suddenly paused and never continued from that point. I tried other videos but it kept on buffering (the circle kept on spining and nothing happened, as noticed on the leds of wifi router it seemed youtube app is not using the net but when i search for more videos the thumbnail do showup normally).
To over come this issue i tried reflashing. This happened when i was on the new HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons which is amazing for battery saving.
I then tried reflashing HyperDroid_v4.0 again after formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc which wiped everything, but still no avail.
Then i again tried reflashing DarkyROM2 XXKH3 BASE (2.3.4) formatting everything but still no luck at all.
I even tried these flashing after Factory data reset selecting Format USB storage as well .
When i do the flashing everything else seems to be working fine as usual except the youtube playback and android market doesn't download, like i said for the youtube app, everything like searching the apps, browsing through apps details works fine except it doesn't download at all. It shows as if it's downloading but it stays as is forever.
Very sorry if same question was posted before this as i couldn't find like it.
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days in a row but still no luck.
Has anyone come across this same issue.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance..
Update:The problem was finally solved after again formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc and flashed stock ROM though Odin and then I installed DarkyROM tool and then flashed DarkyROM2_KI3_Base ROM.
I will soon jump to HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons again as it has superb battery life.
I will be updating you guys if the same problem persist.
Thank you all
Hello everyone!
Although I am not using GS2 (I have a Galaxy Note), I chose to post here because I didn't want to create a new post and I believe this is not a device-specific issue (see below for why).
I have the exact same problem as OP (as far as I can see). When I got my note less than a week ago, everything was working great. Then, last Friday I noticed that I cannot download anything from the market. After choosing to download something (both paid or free), after clicking "accept & download" at the permission screen, the screen goes back to app screen and market shows the app as "downloading..." with working, yet empty, progress bar. Everything else using the internet works fine - browsing from different browsers, notifications, email etc. I even tried installing an alternative market app, and it would download/install apps no problem. Also, downloading straight .apk files works as well. Later that evening I also noticed youtube app doesn't work - just the "loading" circle keeps running, until it times out. Browsing/searching market/youtube works without a problem. I am using the stock ROM and it isn't even rooted. Later, following some suggestions from google searches on the problem, it turns out that downloads work when I disable network and let it use mobile internet. I also later found out that it works on other wifi networks, just not my home wifi (which used to work perfectly, with no configuration changes to the router).
Next day I also found out that my girlfriend's android (LG Optimus Me P350) has the same exact problem, therefor it is not a phone model specific problem.
Here is what I tried so far:
Factory reset - left me with no apps and no way to re-download them. The market download did work ONCE after the reset, but that was to download the update to the market itself, nothing else;
Clearing Download Manager data - worked for ONE download. At first it worked for one download every time, meaning, after clearing download manager data, I was able to download one app, after that it would go back to the problem. I could then clear data again, and it would again download one app. After about 5 apps downloaded this way, this solution won't work at all anymore;
Force closing/clearing data of market, gmail, talk (in combination with above step) - didn't work;
Signing out/in to gmail and/or talk - didn't work;
Changing google account in market - didn't work;
Stopping/starting download countless times - didn't work;
Switching wifi on/off - only starts downloading briefly when phone switches to 3G while wifi is off. As soon as it gets wifi connection back, the download stalls at the position it was until I switch wifi off again (so it can continue to use 3G);
Switching phone to airplane mode, off/on, then disabling airplane mode - didn't work;
Changing phone's DNS records with an app to OpenDNS - didn't work;
Updating router firmware - didn't work;
Resetting router firmware - didn't work;
Setting port triggering on router for port 5228 - didn't work;
Port forwarding to Note IP for same port - didn't work;
Disabling router firewall - didn't work;
My router is Linksys E1000.
I think that is all I tried. I have been trying to find a solution for the whole weekend, and nothing as far. Searching google makes me believe that many people have had the same problem. I have found many solutions, which don't work, or only work once. This problem is really, really irritating. Also, I have found out that for many people the problem seems to randomly disappear without doing anything after some time (days to months), sometimes coming back and sometimes not. I experienced this myself when after going to sleep, I was able to download one app in the morning with no tried "fixes" at that time. This also makes me believe that there are many "fake" solutions, which did work for some people, but not for others - quite possibly, while these people were "solving" the problem, it actually solved itself, yet because the person did something, he/she believes that was the solution. A notable example of this could be "google account 24-hour reset" where users experiencing the problem are suggested to log out of their google accounts everywhere and not use the account for anything for 24 hours. Seeing as this is possibly a problem somehow connected to another device, not just the phone itself, I did consider flashing DD-WRT on my router, but I wouldn't really want do do that since my router is not that powerful and with all the DD-WRT features my broadband speed gets capped at about 65Mbit/s. Still a lot, but I have a great internet connection and am able to get real speeds of about 90Mbit/s with stock router firmware.
If anyone has any ideas, please share Thank you in advance!
Just a quick reply - I contacted my apartment building network tech, and he said that they didn't do anything regarding the internet that day, but they did however do something to offer TV service to residents (edit: The TV network shares the same hardware as internet's). He said that it shouldn't have changed anything regarding internet, but he would look into it. A few hours later everything is working.
Of course, it could be one of those cases where the problem disappears with no apparent reason, but I guess they did something to fix it. So, if you are experiencing the same problem (market downloads not working and youtube app not playing videos), and you have tried everything else (preferably confirmed the problem persists on someone elses phone), I would suggest you start going up the chain to whoever is managing your network (after yourself). If at all possible, try getting wifi access through someone else who is using the same ISP/network - if the problem persists even when connected to another AP/Router, it's pretty sure the ISP or network is to blame.
Hope this helps someone, since I wasted a few days on this
Dear reader,
I got a problem with my Titan for a couple of weeks now.
A couple of times a day when I grab my Titan and want to use it -> get it out of standby, it doesn't reacts to any input/buttons etc. just nothing. No feedback from capacitive buttons. Only way is to remove battery, insert it again and boot it up. But this occurs 20 times a day. I doesn't happen all the time though. But it is very frustrating.
It started after using the DFT rom for a couple of weeks. I hard resetted it, still same problem. Then I flashed the Dynamics7 rom, still same problem. So I start to believe that it's something hardware related, or maybe the following thing;
Though some other strange thing is that every time I hard resetted my device or flashed an other rom, and then installed the Facebook app, the FB app works fine, untill the first time my phone has the above mentioned strange bug. So after I restarted my phone, the FB app crashes while starting. And never works again... (FB app version 2.7.0.0)
Anyone with the same problem or suggestions?
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lars
It seems it has something to do with my mobile network or simcard or something. when in flightmode and using wifi it hasn't happend anymore fore some time now...
Well, I ordered a new simcard, in the hope that the problem would be solved.. But it has no effect. Tried 3 different roms, DFT, Dynamics7 and currently the standerd rom. All three, same problem.
As the problem becomes more frequent the last days, it also happens while calling, or other use of the phone, and not only when the device is locked...
Anyone with some suggestions?
Have you tried not installing any apps at all? Just running fresh?
Try not syncing your hotmail account either. Just let it run as a solo phone.
Also, while you factory reset what will be worth looking into is, having data connection switched off. Only using 2G.
I have had exactly same problem with my old Nokia E63. I never got around the issue. It was one specific operator (Vectone, UK) and every other company's SIM worked without causing issues. Maybe worth testing some other network provider's SIM from your friend?

well I found the problem. It's the Facebook app (not the integrated one).
Uninstalled it, problem solved. Installed it again, problem is back.
Please excuse me if this has been covered; I've searched for it but couldn't find it and after struggling to make this thing work for six months, I'm getting desperate!
I have a Galaxy S2 GT-I900 running Android 4.1.2, baseband version I9100XXMS2, firmware update is PDA:LSW/PHONE:MS2/CSC:LS5 (XEU)
It does everything asked of it and I'm impressed after running an XDA Orbit for some years; but there are two problems with it (apart from the dreadful KIES syncing software!):
First, whilst it will download emails on command for a while, sooner or later it simply stops; the progress indicator stops responding. I can get it to start again by removing the simcard and the battery, reinstalling and rebooting, but sometimes I have to do this three or four times a day!
Second, I think I did, once, manage to send an email, but it was a long time ago........might be mistaken.
I've deleted and re-entered my email account details dozens of times (all three accounts are affected simultaneously) both on my own and under the supervision of an o2 "consultant"; after months of badgering, I persuaded o2 to send me a new simcard, but the problem remains. I'm beginning to suspect that the baseband version is wrong-I read somewhere that the correct one for this phone is I900DXLSD, but not being an expert, I wouldn't be sure.
My main email account is with TalkTalk (been with them since they were lineone), it's POP3 and I have enabled data download and switched off sign-in/authentication required. I'm using smtp.o2.co.uk for outbound (as I always have, although just to be sure, I have tested it with smtp.tiscali etc without success).
I'm back with my trusty XDA now (which works fine, if a little slow!) as the Galaxy is of limited use without email; if I can't get this to work it'll have to go in the hi-tech junk drawer or be subjected to a float-test which I suspect it will fail!
Once again, if this has been covered, I couldn't find it; sorry for the long post. Anyone got any ideas?
Sounds like there might be something more fundamentally broken with your setup. But short of a fresh install of the ROM have you tried using a different email client. K-9 works quite well for me and I use it to manage 4 different imap accounts from 4 different email providers.

It does everything asked of it and I'm impressed after running an XDA Orbit for some years; but there are two problems with it (apart from the dreadful KIES syncing software!):
First, whilst it will download emails on command for a while, sooner or later it simply stops; the progress indicator stops responding. I can get it to start again by removing the simcard and the battery, reinstalling and rebooting, but sometimes I have to do this three or four times a day!
Second, I think I did, once, manage to send an email, but it was a long time ago........might be mistaken.
I've deleted and re-entered my email account details dozens of times (all three accounts are affected simultaneously) both on my own and under the supervision of an o2 "consultant"; after months of badgering, I persuaded o2 to send me a new simcard, but the problem remains. I'm beginning to suspect that the baseband version is wrong-I read somewhere that the correct one for this phone is I900DXLSD, but not being an expert, I wouldn't be sure.
My main email account is with TalkTalk (been with them since they were lineone), it's POP3 and I have enabled data download and switched off sign-in/authentication required. I'm using smtp.o2.co.uk for outbound (as I always have, although just to be sure, I have tested it with smtp.tiscali etc without success).
I'm back with my trusty XDA now (which works fine, if a little slow!) as the Galaxy is of limited use without email; if I can't get this to work it'll have to go in the hi-tech junk drawer or be subjected to a float-test which I suspect it will fail!
Once again, if this has been covered, I couldn't find it; sorry for the long post. Anyone got any ideas?

Looks like I fixed it!
Thanks; I finally bit the bullet and carried out a factory reset. It worked.....so far. email is "ok", although it often fails to login and sometimes says it can't because the password has changed (!). Also seems to be less than accomplished at sending email, but time will tell. Now I'm busy reinstalling my apps and sorting out my settings all over again (I'm not too keen on Samsung knowing absolutely everything about me!).
