Serious bug on all s3's - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Mail for exchange using your company email doesn't work in native Email client works in gmail app.
Phone signal is very dodgy and both my phones had severe call dropping issues, no its not my network!
Confirmed by Samsung they have any other issues with it too eg mails not syncing on corporate acs using google apps, huge bug with cell reception
Samsung told me that the phone was tested in Korea and not anywhere else they didnt see these issues cos in Korea they didn't test the email bug for providers abroad.- duh, stupid excuse!
Dont buy if using for work emails it's the worst phone for it and ofcourse for the signal and battery issues rapid discharge lasted only for 6 hours MAX
I had 2 and sold them both cos I got so frustrated trying to set it up.

My corporate exchange account works perfectly in the S III`s mail (not GMail) client.
There is, however, one feature that is missing from the S2, which is the ability to sync the Notes from my Exchange account. With the S2 I`d write notes in Outlook and then they`d automagically appear in the S2. With the S3 the S-Memo apps replaces Notes and it`s quite useless in that sense.

Can't say anything about emails as I only sync mail on my tablet. But you're wrong about receptionband battery life. Reception is just as good as the S and S2 for me with no dropped calls so far. As for battery life, I can get over 5 hours of screen time with a total up time of 20 hours with regular use consisting of browsing and gaming.

Perhaps not in your firmware or your particular configuration.
In the LF6 (or was it LF2?) it works fine sync'ing to an Exchange 2010 Server via activesync (exchange push.) At least it works fine for me with my configuration.

Sometimes can be due to OSI layer 9 = user problem. Especially migrated from iphone which they don't understand how to use the system and they started to complaning the phone and follow by provider lastly the manufacturer.

I have had very good experience with Enhanced Email (3rd party client) on all my phones. It's paid though, but worth it.

Yes, there are some issues with Google Apps accounts and the e-mail client. It works fine with standard exchange server accounts though.

I have no battery issues either. In fact this phone has the best battery life amongst all the Android phones I have owned.

Phone signal is good for me, certainly better than my HTC Sensation.

No, he's not a joke. At least one more person has reported that the e-mail client does not work with Google Apps exchange accounts, although on other phones it does. It works fine with 'normal' exchange server accounts.
There is another thread about this in the General section.

On my SIII ( Canada, Telus ), exchange email client crashes occasionally. I have lot of rules ( client side ) that move email to folders depending on sender, subject etc. I originally thought that crash may be due to email getting moved to another folder by outlook while SIII's client was still trying to grab it or something... However it will also crash when I am not using my laptop and therefore have no other client reading my exchange email.
Not sure if symptoms you see are similar or something different.

Biggest bug I've seen is insects flying at the S3's screen mistaking it for a truck window.

Maybe you mixed something up or i don't understand something correct, exchange is microsoft exchange and works flawless (at least for me), gmail is another thing which got nothing to do with exchange.
For gmail you got your own dedicated app, no need for integration within the Samsung email app and if you still want to use it there, make sure to use imap and not exchange, because this is only to synchronize to Microsoft exchange servers.
Last but not least, no call problems or signal drops from my side and I'm getting juice for a full day with moderat to heavy use, also it's a bit heavy to title it as serious bug in all s3 only because you and some others can't get it to work.
Edit: just checked it and added my gmail account as common mail account (to get the mails at the Samsung app) works flawless even no need to set a server myself, i would recommend you to read properly and check the matter before moaning something does not work at all devices.

Exchange works perfectly here, signal is actually better than iPhone 4 and SGS2 for me.

I run an exchange server out of my house and love it works great
Push required full time data connection. I don't use it because of that. I use 30 minutes poll on imap and love results.
eh Activesync doesnt use that much bandwidth actually. Its very minimal useage as it lets the connection sit idle for most of the time
I'm sure it doesn't. The problem is that the data connection has to remain live.
I poll every 30 minutes, and then 30 sec later, my connection drops.
right its live but its idle so it uses little or no battery anyway and unless you specifically make sure it disconnects the data conn it most likely will remain live as well just idle the same as push would do for you
A hotmail/live.com account is free and will get you push email.... Lots easier than setting up and managing an exchange server at your house.

how dare you suggest i drop gmail for hotmail.
I thought push was supposed to be really easy on the battery, whats all this about constant connections?
I use it and love it. I never have to worry about backing up my contacts. Just flash new ROM and put in IP Addy of server/UsernameW and I'm good to go.
I however do notice a drain on battery if you leave it set to default "as arrives" Set mine to 30 min. as well.
Using hotmail is a good idea, but I have used the same hotmail account for YEARS and that is where I get all my junk spam. Would eat up my data connection and battery if I used that.
Is Blackberry Connect free? I've never tried. Wanna use it for my Work email (which is Groupwise - yes I know). I use PushEffect by Qorefunctions for all my other email accounts?

I am really surprised not that many people use live/hotmail on there ppc. I love google/hate M$ but... When it comes to mobile product M$ beats G.
Live/Hotmail (rare link ! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx) is REALLY convenient. With synchronization schedule "as items arrive" I still have 50-70% battery life left at the end of the day (with no2chem's rom). Did not notice much difference compared to manual sync.
Plus, you get contacts synchronization - somewhat less "pushy" - not sure, how often it syncs, but works great too. BTW, make sure to backup you contacts before installing the WLWM! MS is working on improving the live/hotmail, they are now full of AJAX and I'm looking forward for a calendar push.
With gmail trying to sync contacts is major PIA, even using 3-rd party software (and I tried many!).
If you are still unconvinced to try live/hotmail, sign up for SEVEN (http://community.seven.com/main.php) (free!)
it works as an intermediate between various POP/IMAP providers, making them work like push email - not sure how but it works. I was using it for gmail/my server's IMAP but decided to go with hotmail (they had frequent server outages this summer, I've heard they were fixing them...).
In the end, you definitely do not need blackberry or setting up home exchange (with Exchange or Kerio Mail Server) to have real time push email on the PPC!
Using SBS 2008 in the home, with it's POP connector dumping all my wanted pop accounts to my exchange mail box AND PUSh this is the best though as a MVP the SBS was free except the hardware to run it (requires 64 bit /4G's) not a good solution unless your in my line of work - PUSH was the simplist thing to setup and configure ActiveSync btw is on demand and have had no issues with call/battery

Have you tried http://community.seven.com ? You have to register for the beta program, then try searching for "groupwise" on the forum. Looks like there is an answer, though I don't have novell to see for myself.

Exchange pictures not syncing?

I have syncd with exchange ("corporate') but the thumbnail pictures have not syncd. anyone know why / have or have not got a similar issue?
Same here. Syncing to Exchange 2010, but I get none of my contact photos.

I'm using Touchdown, no issues with pictures downloading for contacts from Exchange... Must be a native Exchange client issue.

this is not a solution for the contact pic sync issue, it's more an option. i stumbled across an app called Enhanced Email 1.16.2 that allows you to sync multiple exchange accounts, integrates into the stock calendar and contacts apps and it also synced my contact pics as well. the app also uses the volume key to increase/decrease font size in the emails. i had to shell out $10 bucks, but that investment is making my Atrix experience a little better and the contact pic sync issue is behind me. other features of the email app i like: it gives you the option to use the Exchange Pin. i said no and am using pattern lock instead.
EDIT: i did notice a (minor to me) bug; not all of my contacts birthdays were synced.

Fantastic tip. It was well worth the $10. It's kind of ironic my old hacked up HTC HD2 with WinMo wiped and Android running off the SD card had better email than the Atrix.
I'm looking forward to an update that improves email and fixes the slow internet speeds.

I am having problems with the pictures not syncing too. We are also on Exchange 2010. Is everyone else using 2010, or are all versions of Exchange having problems. I only ask because when I decided to check the Motoblur info it only mentioned supporting Exchange 2003 and 2007, which I thought was odd.
This is also my first Motorola (in a long while), but after doing some quick research via Google, I see a lot of people complaining about the same thing from as much as a year ago on other Moto phones. Despite being nice hardware, I'm really irritated with the Motorola "experience" after coming off of my Captivate on Cognition.

No, the problem of contact pictures not being synchronized affects Motoblur talking to Exchange 2007 servers (like mine) as well.
I heartily second the disappointment in the email. For Exchange users Motoblur is a FAR WORSE experience than directly syncing with Android's built in utilities. I really miss the email on my Captivate... but that is the only thing I miss.

You miss Exchange on Captivate? - I can't imagine why -
I couldn't see my read messages, I couldn't edit appointments i created, I could not mark messages as read in bulk. Worst of all was the lag - even with Voodoo lagfix if i attempted to delete 5 messages it took forever. No GAL access or it was for email address only. No subfolder sync support either. So the Atrix is missing picture sync, that i can deal with. I can't search the server, but again, a minor issue for me.

From the reading that I did a few weeks back, it's a long-standing issue with the MotoBlur Exchange synchronization. HTC's Exchange synchronization does contact pictures, Motorola's doesn't.
We are using Exchange 2008 and my contact pictures also do not sync. This is a Huge thing for me.
Updated to 87, but no change in this feature. I was hoping this was a small thing that would be included when moving to 2.2.2. Looks like have to hold out hope until 2.3....
so I downloaded ENHANCED EMAIL, which IMHO has a better email handling program , but uses all the other stock programs for Contacts, Diary etc. it DOES SYNC pictures!
You need to remove your blur exchange account otherewise you get duplicates.
Enhanced email is easier to read, faster and just better IMHO
Hello, the Atrix has just been released in France and I'm fcacing the same problems : not possible to sync in Motoblur my contacts and Pictures of contacts.
Another big trouble, I'm not able to sort the contacts by Last Name/First Name : only First Name/Last Name.
It's a pitty as many other smartphones propose that (Samsung Galaxy S2,...)

[Q] Anyone has problems with Email app after updating to XWKE2?

Hi everyone,
Just got my new SGS 2 (with XWKE1), configured it, all was cool. Then Kies offered update to XWKE2, which I gladly accepted. After the update, the Email app was constantly using 30 to 50% of CPU!!! Phone was getting hot and battery was discharging like crazy.
The Email app was configured to use MS Exchange. My other phones (iPhone4, Moto Defy) have no isses with Exchange.
When I delete MS Exchange acc from SGS2, all is cool, phone works like a charm.
Decided to downgrade to XWKE1 (with factory reset), and guess what - Email app works fine with my Exchange account! No phone overheat, no excessive CPU usage.
Out of pure curiousity, upgraded again to XWKE2 (with factory reset) - same erratic behaviour of Email app after an Exchange acc is configured!
So, now I'm back to XWKE1, extremely happy with the phone, and wondering if I'm the only one with this issue?
Email isn't even showing on the battery list on mine. XWKE2 VillainROM 1. I've got exchange push running, and just received an email a few mins ago. Seems strange you are getting high usage.
Yeah, mine is push too... And works fine on KE1. Will try the KE2 Villain tonite, if I get time...
A question abouth the e mail app.
Can't you sync mail every 1-2-3 or 6 hours or something like that. I can only choose, Push or by hand.
Sure you can: in Account Settings/Sync Schedule there's Peak Schedule and Off Peak Schedule. There you can find options needed.

Only problem I have is it don't let me add an email account unless I have social hub installed and select it as a premium account. Without selecting it I get errors for either incorrect email and password or connection error but same details with the box ticked works. Piece of crap!

Weird... I have the choices... As a theory - these setting might be under Exchange server control, so their appearance may depend on your Exchange server admin's will.

Microsoft Exchange Server is a corporate email solution, used in companies and organizations. Why are you configuring Exchange account on your SGS2, if you don't know where your Exchange server is, if you don't mind me asking? Because if it's the Exchange server at your work, you must talk to your IT dept.
I have the exact same problem with mine, although I have no idea how to "factory reset" the phone..
Does anyone know how to reset it??

Mate, I don't think you've got an exchange account set up. You have your hotmail set up as a 'premium' pop3 account. The default email/social hub app is somewhat tricky/annoying (compared to winmo 6.5). Hotmail have their own exchange server that you can use. I can provide a link on how to set it up later this evening or you can try to google it.

I had the same issue. Even when I switched to display 20 messages from any date, it would say no mail but also say x available on server. If I tapped that it would compose a new message. I haven't used the native mail app in a while so after that I said screw it and went back to K9.

You could always use the browser until you get it fixed. Probably something to do with the server ports. I'll dig around on the Hero boards and see if I can find the settings.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I am having the same problem. I downloaded the yahoo mail app from the marketplace as a workaround.

Seriously, K9 mail. It's free in the market. It is the best mail app I've seen. And when we finally get some sort of root, you can use titanium backup to backup your data and if you switch roms or whatever use that to restore your accounts and settings instantly.
It appears to be a known issue. I cannot get my Yahoo mail to open using the stock Email app either, I can send but I cannot receive. You can use the Yahoo Mail app, that works just fine and has a nice user interface, but me, personally I prefer using the regular Mail app for all three of my email addresses. My Yahoo address is only mainly for crap. If people think using Yahoo is archaic, I use ***gasp*** *OH NO’S*** my ISP email address which is where all my important stuff goes, banking stuff and so on, and the address I give out to close friends and family. Only reason I have a Gmail account is because you’re forced to in order to use an Android phone. Hopefully a fix for this problem is in the works.
I'm surprised anyone uses anything other than gmail with an android device for personal email.
Same problem here. Started happening just yesterday for me.
A Sprint rep told me that Yahoo blocked port 25 on their servers which is causing issues across all phone platforms. He also said that Yahoo wants to start charging people for Yahoo Plus in order for it to work, but I have found no confirmation of that. As a matter of fact, I found at least one Yahoo Plus user who is also having this problem using the native mail app from another HTC phone.
I have contacted Yahoo about the issue and will post their response here when I get it. However, it does seem to be a very widespread problem.
I will be waiting for an answer because I would rather use sense for emails then the app.
glad I wasn't the only one.
same problem here. I noticed I was not getting yahoo mails today. I use mine for business, and frankly don't ever want to use another email. Yahoo has been consistent, reliable for me for over 14 years.
I downloaded and installed the Enhanced Email app on the Amazon Appstore today.. special for today only for 4.99... seems like a good program..
I did not know about K9,, I could have saved the 4.99... but I think the Enhanced email app has a lot of features I haven't started using yet.
same issue with yahoo..
set up quickly.. but no emails coming in...
and yea been using Yahoo for years.. not going to switch because gmail is android friendly lol
i want a fix too, i use gmail, hotmail, and yahoo and want them all on my phone with stock software. depends on who i am giving my email to or sending to as to which account i use

I have the new HTC Evo 3D and Yahoo mail does not work with the
native HTC Mail app. Before this phone, I had the original HTC Evo and
Yahoo worked fine with the HTC app over the course of one year that I
had that phone. I upgraded to this phone last week, and for 5 days
Yahoo was working fine on the HTC mail app, but it stopped working
yesterday. Gmail and my work email still work through the HTC mail app
and my Yahoo mail is still working on my computer, so I believe the
problem is on Yahoo's end.
Please advise if this issue had already been reported and if it is being
worked on.

I use Gmail for personal use (friends/relatives) and Yahoo for commercial use ie. Amazon, Netflix, forum addresses, etc.. Keeps my Gmail absolutely spam free and when I get a Gmail I know it is really an email I want to see and have pushed to my 3VO.
I had the Yahoo set up problem too, just got my 3VO yesterday. Finally got it to work with the standard mail app. Turned out to be a security issue on my account, and after I changed my password to a more secure one, and after I signed on to the account from my 3VO browser, I was able to set it up using the manual mode (IMAP).
Remember to remove the "htc." from the incoming and outgoing server addresses though.

[Q] Touchwiz email not deleting messages?

Since the Touchwiz update, my two IMAP email accounts refuse to delete emails on the server. The messages appear deleted, but on refresh they reappear.
The pre-touch-wiz email client worked fine.
Anyone else experiencing this? Know of a fix?

Had the same problem with the stock email client on my Charge. Wound up going with K-9 on the phone and stuck with that on the GTab as well; never even thought to try the stock email. Last time I checked for the Charge there wasn't a fix; be interested in finding out if there is one for the GTab.

I tried K-9, and while there are some things it does well, the flaws outweigh the strengths. In addition to my two IMAP accounts, I have an Exchange account from my day job that I need to monitor. K-9 doesn't do exchange well at all. The K-9interface is optimized for small (phone) screens, not tablets. I wanted it to work for me, but it doesn't.
I like the interface on the TW email client. I just can't believe such a basic flaw as not deleting mail on the server got past the developers--and I'm surprised it isn't causing more uproar.
This is really sad. The GTab 10.1 is the first Android tablet with the potential to take on the iPad, but it won't evenpass the giggle test with bugs like this. AAAARGH!

Agreed that k9 isn't the greatest. Also that the issue with the stock client is beyond ridiculous. I looked into Touchdown, but didn't go with it (can't remember why). That one is supposed to have great Exchange support; not sure about IMAP though.

Touchwiz IMAP issue--update
To recap the problem: After the recent TouchWiz update, the native email client no longer deletes IMAP email on the server. Email appears to delete, but on refresh reappears.
I tried Samsung's twitter support yesterday, looking for answers on this problem. I finally received an honest but not terribly helpful response:
"I've tested this on our Tab here and it does that too. Unfortunately there' s no way to change that. I believe it depends on which email client you have."​
I reminded her that there's only one email client on the stock GT10.1, the update broke it, and she just confirmed it as a bonifide issue. Response:
"I have reported this to our product specialists. Unfortunately, I don't have any info pertaining to a fix, I apologize."​
When I asked if there was anyone I could expedite this with, she suggested I try the Android market and use a different email client. I'd do that cheerfully if there were an email app in the market that's optimized for tablet interface instead of phone screens.
Overall, not a satisfying experience. I understand that the support tweeps can only do so much, but it didn't leave me confident that anything will change in the reasonable future.

I hate to say it, but it left me almost wishing I'd bought an iPad. As much as I hate the Apple agenda of controlling the world and thinking on behalf of the mindless drones it controls, at least the (employer-owned) iPhone I have does email reliably and can connect me to my Juniper remote access VPN. At this point, the GT 10.1 can't do either for me.

I had the same problem and removing the application data (Settings->Applications-> go to the gmail app) fixed the problem for me for now.
The app will have to re-sync all the emails after but now it deletes and marks messages as read correctly.

One of the first things I tried. Didn't work for me--but then again, I didn't try it with gmail, only with the two IMAP accounts I use daily.
I finally broke down, rooted the thing, and flashed it with the original release ROM. All working fine. The only thing I lost was some of Samsung's crapware and of course the less-than-impressive TouchWiz interface. Not a huge loss, IMO.
Lesson learned: Beware of manufacturers bearing gifts and upgrades.
