Im loving my Titan, especially the calendar sync with windows live, google etc.
I run a Driving School and use the calendar to set up appointments with my clients, add them as attendees and save. However, when the email is sent to the attendee to accept the details of time and location are sometimes wrong, even if I leave the location blank.
Its led to a few missed appointments. Can anyone test this feature and see if its a common problem.
also, is there a way to change the "Im running late" feature to include a text message, rather than relying on people checking their emails?

Not exactly clear what you mean. But calender events are sensitive to timezones. Make sure all pcs and phones involved have the accurate timezone settings.

What I mean is, I arrange an appointment with one of my clients and set it up on my phone. I generally don't add a location, as it is usually at their house, unless we have arranged a different place, then i will include that.
I then use the "add someone" button, select the persons email address to send the calendar .ics file for them to accept.
I have had reports from some of my clients who, when they open the file has had different times than i had originally set up.
Like I said, it is related to the time zone settings. Most ppl don't care to set their PC's time zone (default is PST/PDT). And if you're in a different time zone than that, the time will be different for you and your client. Let's say if you setup a meeting at 4pm EST and your client is setup(or rather didn't care to setup) to use PST on their PC. That meeting will show up as 1pm PST on their side. Since they didn't setup the correct time zone but rather adjusted the clock, they will see the meeting is at 1pm instead of 4pm you intended.
The bottom line is unless you can be sure both you and your clients all have setup time zone correctly, using this kind of meeting invites are prone to cause problems.

Hey Fellows,
SendReceiveAll is just a small program that i created for my own use. In default Windows Mobile client, if you have multiple email accounts and they are set to manual download, like it is with me, While checking mail you need to go to each account and click send and receive. This is a bit tedious.
SO this program, which is a small, no-gui, .net cf app does so. It calls send and receive for all outlook email accounts. This way you can tap it once and then wait for your emails to finish loading at their own pace.
Its a very simple start and i haven't done anything profound with it. Its just an idea that clicked me.
Suggestions and Ideas are welcome from all of you
Thanks!
UPDATE : Here is the link to cab file for this utility. I haven't tested it so cant say about how reliable it is. Thanks to post&telecommunications to make and post it
SendRecieveAll v.1 Cab File
PS: It seems that this doesn't works if you have multiple IMAP accounts. The problem I think happens because IMAP accounts cannot be updated in "Background, Asynchronously". So If thats the case with you, I am sorry, I don't have any solutions right now. I will see if anything can be done about it
Thanks. Works like a charm
Glad to know that you found it useful
Yeah, I've found it a bit tricky to check all my accounts.
For further development, is it possible that you can implement a progressbar that shows, when an account is ready and maybe a dialog that shows how many emails are downloaded per account?
Yeah, I was also having these things in my mind right at the time of developing this version and i am working on these. Actually the method i use to call the sync facility of messaging application is not synchronous , ie. my app doesnt get to know when did the messaging app finished. It gets control back immediately. So i'll have to find a better way to do that. Thanks for the suggestion
Manilla sync data
Thanks for the progy! It would be nice to have this integrate with the Manila "Sync Data" button under settings, Currently this only works for syncing Activesync, but the description does say "and Internet data"
Is any software for Send only?
Is any application for Pocket Outlook, when I want only Send (not Send and Receive)?
Nice application - some suggestions
Great little application! I’ve been wanting something like this for ages – I didn’t want to set my mail accounts to send and receive every 10 or 30 minutes, I wanted them to sync when I picked up the phone and pressed a button – now I can do it without going to my gmail, yahoo, hotmail and Exchange Server pages separately!
As others have pointed out – having something that said mail account 1 of 4 synchronising would be good for progress – at the moment I don’t know whether I’ve got no emails or it hasn’t worked correctly.
If you are going to end up adding options to this, then auto disconnecting the data connection when all mail boxes are synchronised would save me another button press!
Making it work directly from send/receive in Manila is a great suggestion from ‘anothersmith’ – in the mean time I can’t get it to assign to the programs tab in Manila or via Hbutton – it doesn’t pick it up…..?
Good work.
Splelling errror!!
The reason I'm struggling to get the Hbutton to assign via the registry is that the .exe file is spelt incorrectly!
You've got it as SendRecieveAll.exe
Hbutton thread that shows registy values if anyone wants it for now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794&page=2
Usefull application...thanks lot..
By the way ...i got problem coz im use diferent network (3g ,home and wifi)..i should sett the smtp manually before clickthis
great effort
Hi Friends,
Sorry for delay in response i was out of town Thanks for all the great responses. So i guess these are the changes i should try to implement :
1. Visual Notification of the progress and optional data disconnection at the end.
2. Integration with Manilla Sync.
3. Option to send only.
@brandall: If you add a sound to "New Email" notification in Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications applet, you will recieve a standard notification from the messaging app about the newly recieved emails automatically. I get it on my phone.
@all: Since i only have a HTC Gene at my disposal, i cannot experiment with TouchFlo 3D features. I guess you people are talking about the sync button on tf3d, right? So can anybody tell me the integration procedure for touchflo 3d, i mean the registry keys and all.
I have 3 IMAP accounts, but it only sends/receive the last one
By the way, your app is a great idea!
I have exactly the same. 6 IMAP and it sends / receives only the last one.
Idea is great. Please correct the problem.
Oh, i didn't test it on imap, and i just returned from a long tour. I will look into it asap.
I think that the solution is to make the application aware of the synchronization status on outlook, which apparently can't send and receive from different IMAP accounts at the same time..
But it's only a personal hypothesis since I don't have the foggiest idea of how to program.
it will be greate to make gui with send/recive all... sen all ... recive alll
Hi Great app
one question, can run background? or hiden whith screen off?
i use another app to trigger the send/recieve mail by sms.
thanks
Hey Krazy - any update on this?
The original version I have still gets used every day for me!
great work however I removed .net due to memory restrictions on my xv6700 is there anyway to get the source so we can try to get this recompiled in c that way all devices could use your wonderful program. thank u again for listening
thank you for this wonderful piece of work.
When I change the time zone, either manually or automatically, the times of my appointments in the calendar app all change as well.
For instance, if I travel from central time zone to eastern time zone, all of the appointments will shift to an hour later.
I travel a lot, and this has become quite problematic. Can anyone help?
anyone?
It's driving me 'round the bend.
I do not understand why this is a problem....
All appointments are linked to UTC/GMT.
Therefore if you change timezone, your appointments follow suit.
The HD2 has the ability to work with two timezones
(windows key, settings, more, clock)
Tab time, if you set "visiting" your appointments will move in time. (because of lock to GMT)
If you on the other hand changeyour home time it will also automatically change the times. (because of lock to GMT)
The only thing I can suggest is plan your appointments in GMT time, then all appointments will automatically move to the correct time in the timezone.
What I mean:
If you need an appointment at 13:15 EST (UTC-5), and you are in Amsterdam at the moment (UTC+1) (Note UTC=GMT) then the appointment should be planned in at 19:15 (conversion from EST to UTC adds 5, from UTC to Amsterdam +1)
This is actually also the time you should make a phonecall to someone in EST at 13:15. (To rech a person at 13:15 in EST, you will need to call them at 19:15 Amsterdam time..)
Now if you move to the EST region, adapt your clock, all appointments will shift in time, resulting in the planned appointment beeing scheduled at 13:15.
The other option (if you do not like this), is to look for a second clock, which looks at the earlier mentioned "Visiting" time, without activating visiting Time (leaving allways on home time, not adapting that one to your new timezone)
Clocks Like SPB Time, handy clock ar just two apps wher you can see multiple timezones at once. (Commercial apps, quite expensive)
But there are a lot of freeware alternatives too, but then you will have to look for yourself (and WM6.5) as loads of freeware clocks are for PPC2003, wm5, wm6 seldom for wm6.5
I hope this will help you.
Hi Wilco !
I am facing exactly this problem since now I use my HD2-Sense calendar as my calendar "on the go" (till now I used Google-mobile app to call up my calendar)
I am syncing now my Google-Calendar via Active-sync/Exchange and it is really annoying when I am in a different time zone that all my appointments shift in time and it would be a hell of work to register appointments in UTC and wouldn't make sense since when I look up appointments in my home place they are shifted to local time too.
On the other hand I need the local time on my home screen when in a different time zone.
Isn't there a handy way to overcome this ? Having the clock show the local time AND the calendar keeping the appointment dates to home time ?
Maybe a reg-tweak?
Does maybe anyone know where in the registry I find the coding for the calendar so that I can play around a bit .............
Just for info: got in contact with HTC support. They answered: it´s not possible to have local time AND calendar dates correct. It´s an either - or
I mean: how stupid is THAT ??????
Now finally I found a somehow easy solution to this problem since HTC is of absolutely no help and won´t solve in the next 30 years
Before You leave Your time-zone call up google calendar in any browser, go to "settings" and switch time zone to the time-zone of Your destination.
Then resync Your calendar.
Once You come back change time-zone again in google calendar.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but Navigation from the Calendar used to work for me on 2.2, but not on 2.3.3. I have a Sprint Evo 4G, but I think it's the Calendar or Google Maps/Navigation that has changed. Repeating events used to work before, so it's not the way I've entered the addresses.
I used to be able to put the address in the notes section of a calendar appointment, open the appointment, click on the address, and Google Maps would pop up with the option to Navigate to it.
Now, it thinks it's a phone number and pops up an option screen to: Call, Send message, Add contact, or Save to existing contact. I can click on the Location field, which I usually put just the name of the place, and Google Maps will search for it that way, but often it returns several options, of which none are the one I want.
If it helps, when I click on the address, the phone number field shows, "geo:0,0?201+Main+Street... etc." How or why it thinks that is a phone number is beyond me, but is probably the clue to the solution.
While testing this, I found at least one address that did work as expected. That address also had a street number and street, but didn't have a zip code or a comma between the city and state. However, when I modified an address in another appointment to match, the phone still thought it was a phone number.
No ideas? Is there a better place to ask?
Last bump before I look for another place to ask.

Here I am asking this same old question again on yet another Android phone. Maybe I should just take a hint and get a phone with real exchange support yeah?
I have a Droid RAZR MAXX , about 30 minutes old.
Anyhow, apparently NO ONE uses exchange or I'm the ONLY ONE with this issue.
Press Settings
Press Accounts
Press Add Account
Press Corporate Sync
...
.....
What the **** am I supposed to do with just "Email" and "Password?"
Where am I supposed to enter my domain, my server, and the other options that go along with exchange?
Who approved this? This is even less usefull than just activesync, it doesn't work at all.
Anyone use exchange or understand where the mystery settings are?
**UPDATE** I THINK, I just lost about 80 IQ points when I found this. This could possibly be the saddest fail in exchange history..
https://motorola-enterprise.custhel...roid-razr-maxx-corporate-sync-email-settings?
Don't feel bad. I just returned a Galaxy Nexus because I was unable to get my Exchange account working. I figured out how to get all the info into the corporate sync settings and got excited when it said it worked. Alas, it refused to actually get any mail or sync any folders.
So I downloaded Touchdown. I was unable to even get that working with my Nexus. With the Maxx I still wasn't able to get it working with Activesync, but at least I can get it working with polling. I hate the idea of paying an extra $20 for Touchdown, but in the end I think it's probably worth it.
Wow. I knew the workaround, but had no idea they'd actually make that official. That's hilariously unprofessional. All the same, points to them for putting it up there when they knew people were having problems..

What the heck are you complaining about? Just enter the email and password and it will try to configure on the basis of that. If it is not able to do that it will ask for the server and other info.

Except when it doesn't, and just says it is unable to connect, offering no option to enter the server name. Have a look at the linked knowledgebase article.

What is the section "Server settings" in Account settings for then? I am using the Exchange server on my RAZR from the first day I bought it. The corporate mail is excellent a reliable.
I set up the name of the server and login including domain name and password. The last option is proxy. That is all you need.
Wow... wish I'd known this before purchasing Enhanced Email. It's a nice program, but the only reason I needed it was because the stock mail program wouldn't let me set up my exchange email after the first OTA update from VZW.
Live and learn.
For some reason on the Maxx when you go into Corporate Account/Sync, there only 2 options
Email Address
Password
No other options are available. Menu button does nothing. Period. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the dumbest feature ever that I knew to use any current account that I have access to (NON EXCHANGE ONLY , i.e. YAHOO, HOTMAIL, GMAIL,) in order to get those options (Domain, server, etc, ) to appear so I could edit it.
Ludacris..
Some accounts work straight off the bat, others won't. Assume it's exchange version and server implementation to blame. The problem does exist, as evident by the Moto knowledgebase link in the OP, so he posts claiming people who can't set exchange up are missing something are, well, missing something themselves.

On what planet does it make any sense to to input a yahoo.com email address and password to trigger server setup, domain etc, for an exchange server? Just to make those options visible?
I could never, even on accident could do a worse job in designing this software. And I'm an idiot.
Corporate Email Autodiscover
I would suspect that the reason you're only prompted for the email address and password is that newer versions of Exchange can work with autodiscover, if properly configured. That's why when you set up an account in Outlook 2010, it asks for your email address and password to begin with. It goes out and looks for the information from DNS for your domain, and automatically gets the mail server information.
My RAZR works fine??? what's your deal
Hey i just opened a Droid RAZR MAXX and turned it on and set up my gmail account then set up my exchange 2007 account.
Here's how( maybe your doing it wrong):
- First Unlock the device's screen.
- Press home key as many times as you want, but more than 0.
- Press the settings button. Looks like 3 little lines on top of each other. It is just to the left of the little house button.
- Select Settings by touching the gear icon. - bottom left.
- Scroll down to accounts and press it. (accounts that is)
- At the very bottom touch the words "Add account"
- Now touch the little blue stamp icon that has the words Corporate Sync under it
- Enter your microsoft exchange account email address in the box that is for Email address:
- Enter your password in the box that is for Password.
- Click next on the bottom right of the screen.
Now your droid will try to connect to your companies exchange server.
If it cant it will allow you to put in server and domain information.
You have to be patient, it could be 30 whole seconds or so before it prompts you.
- Enter your companies domain name in the domain box.
- Enter your microsoft user account information in the name and password boxes.
- Enter the name of your mail server w/ the domain name at the end ie. mail.yourDomain.com
- click Next.
If you have your information correct it will work. Else check w/ your admins. If you are your admin... try again.
Ya i have been using exchange for several years with moto android phones with no connection issues. My Razr has worked fine, like stated in post im running exchange 2003 which does not offer auto config for phones, you might be running a newer version of exchange which does have auto config setup but not setup right? If your running exchange 2007 or up make sure the auto config settings on server are right because if there wrong it will fill in the wrong info and not let you enter your own server info.
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but everyone seems to be so hard core about searching for solutions before posting new threads. So I guess, better to dig up an old one.
I am having a variant of this problem. I am setting up Office365 for my company as a replacement for onsite Exchange2007. I set up a new domain just to have something to play with in test/dev. The domain I'm using is set up for the Autodiscover that a few people alluded to above, just requires a few new DNS records. It worked perfect on my Xperia Play with Android 2.3.3 that I had prior to the Razr. I just put my email and password in and boom it configured. Not so with the Razr, I don't know if this due to the Razr not using the stock Android email application or just the difference between 2.3.3. and 2.3.6.
I found this thread on the Office365 support site:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/160/p/25689/118705.aspx
While *I* can make that work, being an admin and all, I think it's probably way too confusing for our end users. I can imagine a greatly increased support volume should we have to go down that path with IMAP servers. Or using the Motorola method in the link closer to the top the thread, which would probably work fine for connection to the onsite Exchange server, but is more dicey on Office365 since there is no "server name" per se.
I can't imagine that this issue is going to go away. A lot of companies are moving to cloud email and Office365 is a popular choice.
---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
OK, I was able to get it working.
First, I logged into my Office365 account with a web browser, going to my inbox and then in the upper right hand corner hitting the question mark and then from the drop down menu choosing About. This is described in the link I put in my last post.
Then I went to log in using the Corporate Sync. It failed and then came back and asked me for the server name and domain. For the server information I put in the information from the Host Address field on the box that popped up from the Help-About box in the last step,
listed as: Host address: https://*********.outlook.com/owa but leaving out the OWA on the end. I left the Domain blank and entered my email account as the username, and re-entered the password (Important-it was failing before I re-entered the password.). Then it worked, came back and asked me to set a screen lock code. Yay!
Hope maybe this helps someone else.
As long as this thread was dug up (thank you BTW), I thought it important to update my situation from what I had in the 2nd post.
It turns out there was an Active Directory (AD) configuration error on my account. I figured this out by looking at the log from attempts to connect using Activesync. This lead me to the Touchdown support website which then linked to another website. Basically my account didn't have permission to create devices.
Fortunately I have a good relationship with the AD admins. I was able to configure email on my device without issue using another users credentials. This told me it should work with my accounts. So I sat down with the AD admin and we compared permissions on the 2 accounts till we eventually found the differences.
Once my account was fixed I was able to get Activesync working using Touchdown. Unfortunately I couldn't get Auto Discover to work, but manual setup worked fine. Then I set up my account using both the built-in email client and Enhanced Mail (bought it for 10 cents during Google sale). It worked fine on all 3. Even download Moxier. Turned out, of all the options, I liked the interface and options most using Touchdown so I stuck with that.
Motor's corporate email client makes one assumption I wish they would not make. They assume your Exchange administrator has properly setup autodiscovery. If autodiscovery is properly configured (that requires a proper autodiscover.domain.com address) all you need is your email address and password and everything will work. This is a really bad assumption as most people who set this stuff up are idiots.
That said, after a failure to use autodiscover the client should eventually fail to a manual setup screen for server name, domain login etc.

I do have autodiscovery properly set up for my Office365 domain, it's no longer optional. Not even your Outlook client will connect to Office365 Exchange without autodiscovery working. As I mentioned before, there's not a server name in the traditional sense. Obviously, you can find A server name in the help-->about information when you are logged into the OWA version of Office365, but you couldn't drop that server name into a traditional Outlook setup and have it work.
My domain autodiscover works with other phones. In fact I just added a Windows Phone7 device to it last night and all I had to do was enter the email address and password. I pulled my Xperia Play out of a drawer last night and put it on the charger. It's been factory wiped and I'm going to run through the setup for my Office365 domain on it again. I just got busy doing other things last night like working out and watching the basketball game
Work Around for adding Corp Sync Account without using Touchdown
i had this problem when i went to create a Corp Sync account and did not see a place to type in the Server name ....there is a "work around" for adding a Corporate Email account without using Touchdown... type in your gmail account information let the app verify the account... once it is verified you can go back and modify the account ... you "should" see a box to type in webmail.ihostexchange.net...

I've been searching all over and can't seem to find a suitable app for this.
A family member has jumped from an endless parade of dumbphones to an Android based smartphone. Got all setup with a Google account and then I sat for about an hour or so manually entering names and numbers into Google Contacts, so they'll sync all nice and easily to the phone.
Now, no matter how I try to explain it, she doesn't quite get that if you open the contacts list on the phone and select a name, it presents you with all configured numbers, home, cell, work, etc, which you then just tap one to call.
No, she'd rather do extra work and create a separate contact, one for each possible number. "So that it looks like it used to...."
"Mr Contact One (home)"
555-555-5555
"Mr Contact One (cell)"
555-111-5555
"Mr Contact One (work"
555-222-5555
So, does anyone know of a contacts app that displays all numbers in an auto-expanded list? Sort of like...
"Mr Contact One"
\_555-555-5555 (home)
555-111-5555 (cell)
