Exchange Calendar Sync problem - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just recently flashed DSC 1.3 pre 3 and so far everything seems to be running great. Thanks people for great development.
Just want to ask... I was able to setup my Exchange Mail but it seems that my Calendar does not sync... or the events I have do not even show in my Calendar. I did press the sync button for Calendar but still no success.
Anybody having the same issues or idea how to get it sync?

update:
i tried to remove again my exchange account and re-install it... and it just worked (my calendar) and displayed all my events in my exchange calendar.
not sure if there is an issue with the custom rom or something else. will monitor it...

Exchange Sync without Motoblur

First install Email2.1.apk.
Open Email.app
Setup exchange account.
Now, install CorpCal.apk.
After this, Defy should sync mail, contacts and calendar.
Does it sync google accounts or just corporate?

*Should* . My Defy only syncs contacts and Email. The calender does not sync at all. Any hints? Or do I need to replace the calender app as well?

Yeah. I did but the localization of "Coperate Calendar" is "Google Calender" if you happen to have german locales selected. I did not find the application on on the first tries. But many thanks it now works.
Maildroid
Why not use Maildroid. I found it to be excellent for corporate sync. Except for the Ads, but that OK.
Worked perfectly for me. Went back to blur just because I didn't like having two calendars, but if I get a ROM without Blur this is what I will use.
thnx a lot German Buddy
As I just found this thread:
For people interested, I posted some more detailed instructions on how to install the files here. The removal of the blured email app is not necessary, of course.
Hello,
first of all thanks for this solution, sounds promising. Nevertheless i have some problems:
I installed both files and could setup my exchange account (windows live) afterwards. It seems that it worked, at least there were no error messages, but my defy doesn't synchronize contacts anyway. A test mail has not been received too.
So what did i wrong?
Another question: Does the provided Calender App work with non-google calenders (windows live) too?
Edit: Ok, Push Mail and Contact Sync works now. Obviously there is no error message when you type in a wrong password.
Anyway: The Calender Sync doesn't work. Is this only for Google Calender?
Touchdown
Without the best app for corporate email, calendar, contacts and tasks. Completetely independant from built in apps, provides security, well laid out and plenty of options for alerting, signiture option and lots more

Active Sync Issues- Anyone Else?

So i have been experiencing horrible sync issues when i am trying to sync to my exchange 2003 account. I have synced this account with several other handsets (Android, iOS) and never had any issues. Email seems to work fine but it only seems to be syncing half of my exchange contacts.
Also, the calendar seems to sync fine but then i noticed that it keeps trying to sync my calendar even though there are no updates (seems like every minute). The end result is that it eats my battery and not trust worthy.
I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Unfortunately i have had to use touchdown since the sync is not reliable.
Anyone else have issues trying to sync contacts and calendar with a Exchange 2003 account.
Thanks

[Q] touchdown for tablet (exchange)

Are there any Touchdown users out there on the 10.1? I find this app way better than the pre-installed mailclient. Especially since the pre-installed client has major sync issues for me.
But, I wonder if anyone has managed to sync the calendar from touchdown to the stock calendar? I would like that, so I have both gmail and exchange calendar in the same view.
If anyone knows if this is possible, thanks!
You can install Google calendar sync on a pc with outlook on it and it will sync your outlook calendar to Google.
Thanks and a good idea, but I really like to keep google (private) and exchange(work) separate, but would like to be able to view them both in the default calendar on the GT. Is it not possible?
Touchdown is working well for me including the calendar. The license is only supposed to be good for one install but I was able to register my phone and my tablet.

Are you having calendar synced with the builtin calendar as well? I know it works well with the touchdown calendar but I want to use the builtin version..

Unfortunately you cant do that. My solution was to use the Pure Calendar widget and tell it to show both my Touchdown and Google calendars in the same view.
Touchdown world great but honestly for same money Moxier works and looks 100-times better. You can also use the same purchase/license on your phone. Your email, calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts are all synchronized over the air via exchange active sync. The contacts will show up in your phones contacts, but can only be edited in the Moxier client itself. So on your phone caller ID and dialer will recognize your coworkers that call, text, or email you outside Moxier.
It's got a trial version you can try. I already had a Touchdown client paid for and bought this after I tried it on my Nook Color. Its awesome. Moxier just trumps it.

Your calendar will be separate on Moxier but it has a nice set of Widgets that can be use along side the stock Widgets on a singlebhome screen. I sort of like having them separate. I always end up creating personal events in my work calendar and vice versa when they are together.... which is counter productive at times.

I'm very pleased with the touchdown tablet edition. I've been using td on my phone, but I'm in Cancun this week, and telmex networking doesn't seem that stable, so I've been using the tablet version on my SGT. It took me a while to get used to the new navigation style, but I'm liking it.

Clean Rom and HTC Mail Sync

I'm having problems with the gmail account I have attached to the HTC Mail app. My regular gmail app ( connected to another account) Works perfectly fine. It has synced before but it seems intermitant and I know I have four messages in my inbox and It will not sync no matter what I try. Just wondering if theres a known issue with the HTC app.

I have had the same issues on stock GB and CleanROM ICS 4.3 - no matter what ROM I use, HTC/Sense mail stops syncing.
I've moved on to K9 mail. Works perfectly.

Why do you have the Gmail set up there? You can add a second Gmail account to the actual Gmail application. That might be more reliable for you.
I'm using an Exchange account with the HTC Mail app and haven't had any syncing issues at all.
You can try clearing the application data in Settings and setting it up again, if you prefer the HTC app.

I believe that setting up GMail in the HTC mail app is part of the set up process. I am not sure you can actually avoid it, although I have never tried. Also, the UI for the mail app is nicer in some respects than the GMail app.
Exchange does work well, but there are definitely issues with webmail and the mail app.
In the past, I tried clearing data for the for gmail on the mail app, and I think HTC mail won't allow it since gmail has to be a primary account.
Having gone through all this is what made me suggest the K-9 mail app. Just turn off notifications for the other gmail mail accounts.

You can definitely skip setting up GMail in the HTC app. Just skip the entire setup and then sign in to the Gmail app directly. But I know what you mean, the HTC app has some aesthetics I enjoy more than the GMail app.
And you should be able to clear the data on that HTC app. It's totally independent of the Gmail app. At least, I've never had an issue with clearing data from it and it didn't affect Gmail in anyway.
Hopefully the OP can chime in on the results.

Yes, it's a known bug. The Android Task killer, kills off the HTC Mail app after a while. It was listed as a fix in the changelog for the January OTA update. It seemed to get a lot better, but its still not perfect.
I also agree, you should just use GMail app for all your GMail accounts. It's push so no random checking.
Also, I believe the Task killer is overly aggressive in general. After my phone has been running for about a day or so, my Facebook widget stops updating. I have to reboot the phone, then it starts updating for a day or so then stops again. Same with my HTC Mail app that checks my personal mail account via POP.

[Q] Exchange calendar not syncing - Resurrection Remix ICS v2.4[4.0.4]

I have my i9100 with Resurrection Remix ICS v2.4[4.0.4] installed and tried to set up my work's Exchange account on it.
I specifically configured it so that it synchronizes the Exchange calendar too, but when I go to the phone's calendar, it only shows the ones from my Gmail account, not the Exchange one.
From the calendar application, if I go to Menu - Calendars to display - Calendars to sync, it does NOT show my Exchange account with its calendar.
If I go to Menu - Settings it shows my both accounts (Gmail and Exchange) but when I go to the Exchange one, it shows the message "No calendars" as if the account doesn't have a calendar to show. I'm positive that the Exchange server didn't change because until Friday I had an official ICS 4.0.3 rom and I was able to sync and add events to my Exchange calendar.
Any help on how to fix this or some workaround? I really need my Exchange calendar to be fully functional.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lots of views and no answers? Please help me solve this or at least mention if it won't ever work...
Thanks
I'm experiencing the same issue. Have you managed to find a fix for this yet?
Why not post this in the rr thread? They're going to be able to help more than here

I tried to ask in rr's thread but nobody replied to my questions...

stocks apps wont work in aokp
I tried with that app and it's just a widget, but it doesn't fix anything. Maybe another third party that completely replaces the built-in calendar? I can't believe that the rom calendar can't sync with exchange just like that. Any reason to justify it? Is this for all AOKP roms?
Thanks.

Same thing. That calendar doesn't make use of its own provider for Exchange. It keeps relaying on rom builtin system. Is there a way to install the provider/connector for Exchange? I noticed that even when it looks similar to stock, the calendar app used in this rom is a mod or something belonging to the hydrogenics author (paradoxxx). Maybe there's a workaround for this?
I think I found the solution to this, cryptically posted on another forum.
But essentially, in Accounts and Sync, where you're only seeing your Google Accounts and not the exchange one, turn sync off and then re-add the exchange account to the list. It won't work if you have sync turned on, it will just tell you that exchange account has already been synced.
Once you've re-added the account you'll be free to turn sync back on and it should work the way it did before you upgraded to ICS.

I've just updated to 4.0.4 original from Samsung, but I didn't like it, so I'll be rolling back to RR ICS and will give it a try... I'll love you if I get this to work this way! lol!
Thanks for your reply. I'll get back to confirm whether or not it worked...

I've had this problem for the past month, and I finally figured it out....no thanks to HTC, AT&T or my Exchange Active Sync provider. They all told me it was their problem, but another provider's issue. I was about to throw them all under the bus.
My problem was that the Exchange ActiveSync calendar stopped syncing, although the email and contacts worked fine. Appointments from my phone would sync to Outlook, but any appointment I put in Outlook would not sync to my phone.
This is my solution:
On my HTC Vivid, android version ICE, 4.0.3, AT&T cellular provider.
I went to: Home, Menu, Settings, Apps, All Apps, Calendar Storage.
Clear Data in Calendar Storage. This should erase the Exchange Calendar from your phone. I did not even have the Exchange Calendar as an option to view when I opened my Calendar.
Now, Remove the Exchange Account, and re-install it. No need to turn the phone off in between. My calendar worked perfectly after that.
If you really want to be thorough, clear the data on the Calendar and Calendar Widget, also.
I could not clear the cache in Calendar Storage, Calendar or Calendar Widget - it was not an available option for me.
I hope this helps!!!

This fixed it for me on my CM10 US Cellular Galaxy S3! Thanks!!!
Its working for me! Thanks!!
Just uncheck sync of Google account (calendar), delete data in app setting/calendar storage (Home, Menu, Settings, Apps, All Apps, Calendar Storage.
Clear Data in Calendar Storage) and than delete Exchange account and setup it again.

Thanks a lot !!!
