I installed the ICS leak on my brothers cdma razor and now he cannot setup his corporate email. He said before when he was on gingerbread he would go to accounts > add account in settings and there would be a spot that said corporate email. Now... there isn't one.
Does anyone know what's up?
Thanx
Go into system setttings.
Accounts & Sync
Bottom right, touch add account
Corporate
...and you know the rest.
If it's not there then.. bad install/flash?
I MUST have my corporate email function on whatever ROM I use. So it's working no problem.
Did he do a full factory reset once ICS was loaded just get the kinks out?
I figured it out. I went too happy with tb and uninstalled email 4.0.1.
Guess i shouldnt have searched for the bloatware lists. Backed it up, but tb wont restore. Will just flash it again.
Thanx for responding

Hi GUYS!
I just bought the Thunderbolt, My very first Droid very very happy!
My question is how do i back up my contacts..
I rooted my phone last week, and have installed perfect storm ROM. and backed everything up with Titanium Back up.
However, I realize that every time a new ROM or updated version comes out, I would have to wipe all my data. I only restore User Apps and no the System Data, becomes this is a new rom. Or should i restore all??
So my question is what files do i need to restore from Titanium backup to restore my contacts. because it gets very annoying having to link my contacts between Google email account, and Exchange each time.
**is there a way I can save all the phone contacts i have from exchange, and link that to Google permanently?
So when i updated my Google account, all my number would come out..
or is there a file i can restore through my Ti Backup to save all that hassle, Everytime I wipe.
Thanks Guys!
Your contacts should have sync'd to your online Google account.
That's the beauty of Android. Once everything is sync'd up. You can change phones, log into your google account and just resync all your info immediately.
hey buddy,
how do i sync all my contact to my google account now?

yea importing contacts can be bad if you have google sync on, it will create duplicate contacts if you restore contacts and alot of hassle removing the dupes
If you add your contacts as Google contacts you can edit them/view them online at http://www.google.com/contacts . They will automatically sync up then. Also, there are programs on Market you can get to save the contacts as well. Lastly, with most roms, once you get going with it, you don't *always* have to wipe; oftentimes you can just do it as an upgrade. At least that's what I can tell.

check under accounts and sync and make sure your google sync is on, contacts calendar and mail. when you save contacts on your phone you are given 2 options, phone contact or google contact. always choose google contact if you want them auto synced. Phone contacts wont get backup unless you use Verizon's Backup Assistant or use a 3rd party program like Ti Backup Pro or some other software to do it. Easier to use google contact and forget about it.
I came from a blackberry with Exchange mail.. So all my contacts are actually stored in my exchange mail. So is there a way where I can just sync all my contact information from Exchange mail to Google account.
I hate having to link both google info with my exchange mail info.. A couple of times i don't mind, but if i want to play around and update roms frequently i rather not deal with this type of problem if its avoidable.
Once you are all updated on your Google account, anytime you change roms and you get the "Welcome to Android" startup screen (If you wipe your phone prior to changing roms), once you put in your google ID and password, your phone will "pull" the contact information to your phone from your google account, so you won't need to re-input anything.
Only time you may have an issue is if you had a contact on your phone and for whatever reason you did not sync before wiping, you may lose any added contacts that didn't get sync'd up.
The easiest way I backed up my contacts was just make a vcard back up from the menu in messaging app to your SD card and then restoring it from your SD card when your done flashing. It was very fast and easy for me.

Quick question. When i export my contacts out of my phone book, to my sd card. when i do a wipe. does the wipe, wipe everything on the sd card as well.
sorry i'm very new.. been using a blackberry for the last 4 years.. and this has been an amazing moment in my life.. the only thing i miss is the keypad on my bold.. but the gingerbread keypad is making my transition a silky smooth one.
*i just imported my contact info from my exchange to Google.. Now my google is up to date.. i think i'm ready to play.

wipe wont wipe your sdcard, unless you physically do so in clockwork recovery.
Sounds like you got everything set up. Congrats on your new phone!
On a side-note. You have an Android, not a Droid. The Droids are a specific set of Verizon Android devices.

I'm running [ROM] AT&T 4.5.91 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Beta #4 on AT&T. I have had zero problems with this rom and I doubt if this problem is a result of this great work.
Saturday night I went to bed with everything running perfectly. Woke up Sunday morning to the phone throwing up the request to give Super User rights to some programs. Hit the email icon and the "Set up a new email account" came up. Weird. Why have I lost my email settings? I start setting up a new exchange account and when I finish entering the information it is rejected because "That account already exists."
Huh? I go to the Accounts page to check the Exchange account but it is not there. I can't delete the account because it is not there but I also can't add the account because it is supposedly already there.
I do a restore of system files from TB thinking this will fix it. It did return the email account to where I could open it, but then it didn't fetch mail. Forget it... I have to get ready for church so I install the ROM again and do a complete restore from backup.
Everything was working fine when I went to bed again last night... only to wake up this morning and be in exactly the same spot again. Programs asking for Super User rights and the Exchange account there but not there.
WHAT is happening??? I've been running beta 4 since it first came out with no problems so why would this start happening all of a sudden? I've not changed/added anything new.
Suggestions? Thoughts? I'm afraid to go to bed tonight.
PS No scheduled programs run at night for the two nights in question.
Thank you.
When I bought my HTC Thunderbolt I logged into an existing gmail account that I thought I could change down the line. So, I have found that changing my original gmail account is not as easy as I thought. The problem is that when I go to put in a new event into my calender it does not sync correctly because it is syncing with the first gmail account I put on the phone.
So, before I go erasing this or that file, I want to check with some people who have good wisdom. My phone is rooted, I am on a different ROM and Radio, but everything I read says that you need to do a factory reset. So, here are a few questions I have...
Will a factory reset effect the rooting of my phone?
If it does not, should I just back on my apps up and do a factory reset?
Is there anything else I should know before I attempt a factory reset?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

gmail is directly linked to the primary account on your phone. the one you went through the initial setup with(setup market with). and unfortunately you cannot remove that email from gmail.
you can ofcourse add accounts via "accounts & sync", but that's a different story.
christ eh?... tell him/her I said salam.
I don't have any issues with erasing or not erasing the email. In fact, I don't really care if it stays on there or not. When I put a new event into my calendar it is using the email I signed up with. So yes, I could sync multiple accounts, but my laptop, tablet, home computure, work computer are all on one account. I like it this way.
When I look in my "accounts and sync" it says that it is using the proper account, but when I select a event in the calendar it wants to sync with google email I sign up with on my phone. I don't want it to use this account. I want to use the same one my google mail.
I am thinking that if I back up all my apps and data using Titanium Backup, do a factory reset, then add my google email so that my calendar syncs with the proper email I should be set. I can always bring my apps back using Titanium Backup and if all fails the worst that could happen is that I go back to my original setting using Titanium Backup.
Am I wrong in thinking this way?

So, the gmail account you started your phone with... 1. Did you purchase apps on the market with it? And 2. Do you still want to use it at all on your phone? If you answered "no" to both these questions, do this:
On your computer, log in to the gmail acct you don't want. Export a back up of all your contacts. Now, log out and log into the gmail acct you 'do' want and import your contacts into it. It will not wipe any existing contacts.
Now. On your phone, delete the Google acct you don't want. Sync the one you do want (calendar, contacts, etc). You will have sync'ed all your contacts, email, and calendar. Make sure its all there.
If you answered "yes" to either question above, also do this... Once you're sure your phone has integrated your new main acct, add the old one back. Uncheck the boxes for synching contacts and calendar plus anything else you don't want to sync.

Oops... It is important to know, 4g phones are not linked to your Verizon service the same way 3g/non-sim card phones are. In fact, if you were to reset your phone and not sign into a Google acct at all, you would still have service after set up is complete. This is because your service is now linked to the sim card on your phone. Granted, you won't have contacts, but you could make a call or browse the internet...

sorry to bug everyone with such a small gripe, but I cannot figure this one out and wondered if anyone can offer some suggestions.....
Ever since the recent update, my emails will not automatically "pull" like before... i have to go in and manually check for any new emails. Google is set to push and the other 2 email accounts are set to fetch every 15 minutes..... other than a factory reset, can this be addressed ?
thanks much !!
Go into my accounts and renter your email and password for your email accounts. Thats what I had to do because mine did the same thing.

good idea and appreciate the info....tried that, still no go...... maybe I will remove the accounts and start fresh...will I lose all my emails if I delete the accounts and reenter them ?
I have had several issues ever since going with the official update. I am S-Off, am using the jp-bear hboot 2.25.2525 and AmonRa 3.15. I also rooted my phone. The first time I did the update, I RUU'd back to Gingerbread and started with a stock setup. I took the OTA and did the update. It seemed to go well but I was having issues with 4G not showing up and only getting 3G. I did not have this problem on 3.11, 3.13, or the first 3.14 leak. I ended up using the PH98IMG RUU for 3.14.605.12 and got the same problem with 4G. I did a full RUU again and no luck. I ended up going in to the stock Hboot and did a factory reset. That did the trick and I have had 4G ever since. However the signal doesn't seem as strong as it did with previous leaks. At home, I would usually get 4-5 bars consistently. Now I ususally get 2-3 bars and sometimes 4. I did have an issue with my previous extended battery cover but got another that wasn't damaged. And the cover is on tight. But after confirming that I had 4G, I flashed AmonRa, added the jp-bear hboot, and finally rooted it. The final problem I am having is with my email. For most of my accounts, I have been having problems with the stock email app updating. I have tried deleting accounts and then re-adding them and sometimes when re-added, wont download any emails at all. And I have one email that uses exchange. That one seems to be pretty reliable and usually works as it should. I had the same issues with 3.14.605.5 but never tried 3.14.605.10. I don't remember these email issues when I used 3.13.605.7 or the 3.11 versions.
I am seriously considering going back to the 3.13 version or even trying the 3.14.605.10. I have full downloads of all the ICS versions so it would be very easy to do. Has anyone else had these issues? Would it make sense going back to one of the earlier versions?

Well 5,7,10 and the ota 12 all have the same radios so that won't help. My guess is a failing or under performing lte card. I would try and get a replacement

I do have 4G now but it took a lot of messing with the latest update to work. It worked fine with GB and when I just RUU'd back to GB to do the update, it had strong signals and grabbed 4G right away. I just hate to go back to GB and thought one of the leaks came with 1.22.10.310r,1.22.310.308r instead of the official 1.22.10.421r,1.22.10.424r.
When you say the lte card is possibly failing, are you talking about replacing the SIM card or is it some hardware in the phone that would need a replacement phone?
Well I think Ive gotten the signal issue worked out but not quite sure how. I was reading the thread about 2nd CPU and downloaded System Tuner and fired it up. I started playing with it, turned off a couple startup programs, froze some others, and selected to force all CPUs online under active tweaks. After rebooting, I now seem to have 4-5 bars consistently. Now if I can only get the email issue worked out. Is there an email program from google play that someone could recommend? I've about given up with the stock app.
Well I am about "-" This close to throwing this fricking thing at the wall and watching it break into a thousand pieces. Even though the data now is fine, the email issue is still here but worse now. I went and deleted all the emails to start from scratch again. I did this by going in to apps, finding the Mail app, force closing and clearing the cache and data. Doing a restart into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvik cache 3 times eac and then rebooting the phone. I was able to add my exchange account with 0 issues and 1 of my pop3 accounts ok. And Gmail does work but I have to use the Gmail app to see it. When trying to add my gmail account into the regular email app, I get a 504 gateway timeout error. The same goes for trying to add my MSN account and Yahoo account, same error. I even tried adding them as pop3 accounts and manually added all the settings but this fails as well. I did open my browser to make sure that the internet still works because of the 504 gateway error and it does still work. I don't know what to do....
well Mike,
I feel bad for you that you are having troubles.
Personally, I am went to the .10 leak a few weeks ago, and then rui'd to .12
I have no problems at all, and I use my 5 email accounts.
o signal bars - I never care. if it works then it works and there is no problem. don't sweat over signal bars.
o For Yahoo mail you must use the yahoo email app from the Google play store. this app will add the yahoo email account to the system. do not try to add the yahoo email account into settings-accounts nor into the regular email app, or you are asking for trouble and will get it.
o I have three gmail accounts. Add additional gmail accounts using the gmail app. adding it any other way creates major problems. One can easily use the gmail app to switch among the Gmail accounts. in settings-accounts each if your Gmail accounts should show up exactly one time with a white G blue background icon next to it. Delete any Gmail accounts you have made that have the red/white gmail app icon next to it.
o The regular email app is for POP3 and other conventional email. Believe me that there will be kaos if you manage to get the regular email app servicing gmail or other kinds of email accounts.
o Create a desktop folder with yahoo mail app, Gmail mail app, and regular mail app. When creating and sending emails use the correct app.
o when new emails arrive you will get notification. touch the notification and the correct app will start and display the email.
Few people have so many email accounts, but this is the best way to use them, in my opinion, on the rezound.
Relax a little, don't destroy the rezound, after all you can always sell it.
regards,
Howard
This might be a coincidence but after I ruu'd .12 from running .10 I didn't have 4G. I enabled one of the location services, VZ I believe, and bingo, my 4G popped up. I disable the location service and have had 4G running fine ever since.

I ended up doing just that last nite and downloaded the Hotmail app along with the Yahoo app. So far using each of those seperate apps and the Gmail app seem to be working fine. It was just a whole lot easier when I was able to use the stock email app to check all of my emails at once. The stock email app is supposed to allow you to add all kinds of email types and specifically shows Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and a couple others as choices besides just regular pop3 ones. Its just strange because it worked very well before this and I didn't have to download those other apps to do it. . I know on GB it was fine along with the earlier leaks. I only started having problems on 3.14.605.5 but never tried 3.14.605.10.
I still overall really like this phone so I don't think I will destroy it. LOL
