I'm on stock / rooted 4.5.91 for ATT Atrix. Prior to the GB update I was having daily issues with my exchange email, where I would get a "Connection Error" and only removing the account, rebooting, and re-adding the account would get it temporarily resolved. It would work for 1-2 days, then it would have the same issue happen again. Unchecking the "verify certificates" box seemed to help, but again only temporarily.
Now that I'm on GB I've only seen it once, but I'm still frustrated by it. My work email is important (if it was absolutely critical, I'd suck it up an get a BB), and I'm seriously annoyed by connection issues.
I'd like to try the AOSP email.apk and stock Android exchange sync setup, but not sure how to do that from where I am now. I assume it is harder than removing the existing email.apk and installing a new one.
I know the Aura ROM has the AOSP email built in, but not quite ready to go down the unlocked bootloader path. I'd like to keep my warranty in case the AOSP email doesn't work and I need to return the Atrix.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, but are you sure it's not your corpo's fault? We run 4 exchange servers here and we have had no complaints about failed connections or anything of the sort, whether it's android, iPhone or otherwise. I have an Atrix and had it set up with my email since day one and I have had no issues at all.

Nope, not sure. But I do know numerous iOS and other Android users (mostly HTC phones, a few OG Droids) that don't have this issue.
I work at a small company so we have a hosted exchange service, and I had our IT guy remove and re-add the Activesync service for my account. That seemed to help for a day, but then back to the same problem.
I'd be willing to bet it is something that is incompatible between the Atrix and the exchange environment, but I've got limited access / visibility to that, and a variety of data points that do not have issues, so I'm trying this route.
Thanks for the input. If you have suggestions on things I can ask my provider to check / uncheck, I'm open.
Thus doesn't actually answer your question but I got tired of dealing with that from rom to rom so I just bought "enhanced email" from the market. Its $10 and gets around the pin requirement if you want to.
Sent from my Att Atrix 4g unlocked.
I had this start on my Captivate running Serendipity VII a few days ago and it is now completely shut down, no emails getting through. I use Enhanced Email as my email program. Very interested in discovering a solution.
on my BB, it took 30+ mins or even an hour to get emails. My exchange works perfectly on my Atrix, as it did on my Inspire. Its probably your phone
Agreed EE is awesome. We use it on 14 different phones in my office.
Last time I tried to get rid of Corporate Sync I kept getting FC's afterwards.
I recommend using the exchange app included in CM roms. It's based on AOSP but has some mods like email signature, and on your atrix the account will show up next to the google accounts in settings menu.
go download a CM zip from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/nexus-one and then extract system/app/email.apk to your phone and install it. then just add the account in settings.
I had issues with company exchange servers and went to Moxier Mail, they have a free 7 day trial then for $19.00 you get it all, contacts, calendar, email, tasks.....stays connected except when I changed my password (every 60 days). Then I had to remove and reload, but that was only issue....very reliable.....

Thanks, I'll try that.
Would I replace the email.apk with the CM one, or just install it in addition?
In addition

Appreciate the help. Got the file extracted then realized I had one more question - do I need to change the name, or is it ok to have 2 "email.apk" applications?
I realize it is a total noob question, but figure better to ask than to screw something up.
you can just install it. the blur version is titled BlurEmail.apk. if a conflict were to arise - it would ask you to overwrite. the system identifies apps differently so just renaming it wont change how it installs.
ex. Google+ shows up as "Google+" but the system seems and calls on com.google.android.apps.plus
It's been a week now and I still can't send any text messages.
I receive msgs but unable to respond back...
I thought it was because I finally updated to Jellybean (I've had ICS for awhile so I thought I should just stick to that) but then I downgraded last night to ICS and I still can't send messages.
well today I tried fixing it but still no luck, although I tried sending an MMS instead, I sent myself a picture and it worked! even tried it to other numbers and they received it. I also tried adding a text with the picture and it did work. but it's still not working when I just type in a text...
so anyway in short, I can't send SMS but can send MMS (and receive messages as well)
also extra: I can call people but whenever they call me it comes up as unknown number...
Does anyone of you know what might be the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks
EDIT: and btw I already checked the message centre number and it has the right number in it so I don't think the issues w/ that
I suggest using titanium backup to store user apps and data, then using mr.cook's rom wipe script to allow you to start from a blank slate, then re-install the desired firmware (whatever version)
You could work at fixing this issue individually, but (to me) it's a sign that something more fundamental went wrong, and that other issues may be soon to follow.
It isn't clear whether you upgraded to a stock jellybean, or maybe a 4.1.2 custom jellybean, or maybe a 4.2.2 custom jellybean, or a 4.3 jellybean. The latter, a 4.3 upgrade from ICS has the highest potential for weird issues if a thorough rom-wipe isn't conducted... whichever path was taken, The i777 runs all versions of jellybean well, and something like this suggests that the "upgrade" was not conducted from a clean slate, hence the suggestion for a rom-wipe and re-install.

can't text
Are you unable to text because a keyboard won't open? My daughter couldn't text (never figured out why - she always had a keyboard appear) so she got a replacement, and when I inherited her phone because mine has battery issues, I go through periods when I can't text because no keyboard appears. I have to into settings and play around with assigning a default keyboard before it will finally appear. Doesn't matter if I'm using the stock keyboard or one I've downloaded from a VERY reliable source - I still have to reassign and reassign and reassign to make it work. Powering off the phone doesn't do a thing.
Hello,
I am curious if anyone has ever found a definitive solution to this issue that has plagued android since Gingerbread. I have been on multiple phones, multiple brands, multiple revisions of the software and have seen this issue on every single one. Here is a list of the phones I have had:
OG Droid (2.2-2.3)
Droid 2 (2.3)
Samsung Charge (2.3)
Droid 4 (2.3-4.2)
Galaxy Note 3 (4.3-4.4)
The issue is:
Your friend sends you a message and they receive a notification that you received it. However, your phone neither alerts you to a message received or shows it in your inbox. However the message IS getting to your phone, because if you install GhostlySMS it catches incoming messages that don't make it into your inbox. So I must then conclude it is a database writing error or something of the like? Is there someone that can help me? I can reproduce the issue rather easily and can grab a logcat if needed.
I am currently running a rooted Verizon Note 3 (running the stock slot, but safestrap is installed) and am getting hardly any of the texts my wife sends me, and I miss quite a few from my father. She is running a rooted Galaxy S4 with Safestrap and Eclipse ROM.
I have searched and searched but so far all I can find are a bunch of "try this, try that" or "factory reset" without any real solid fix. I would like to find a real solution, not a workaround or a factory reset (if possible). I would especially love to know the root cause.
I know I may be asking for the world here, but hoping we could pool our collective consciousnesses to squash this issue once and for all!
Thanks!

So I did a factory reset (actually I completely wiped the entire stock slot, odin'd stock MJE, and then followed Beanstown's guide to get to KK using towelroot. The issue has gone away. However I have my SMS database and so far as I can tell there is nothing wierd. But I am not a DB admin by any means.
I would love to find out why Android eventually loses its ability to reliably write new SMS to the database after a while.
Anyone have any ideas?

Halp!
I'm losing my mind trying to figure out the issue here. SMS works fine. Hangouts will only notify of a newly received message if you open Hangouts and are on the conversations list screen (main screen). If you are in a conversation it won't even update of the newly received message until you back back to the main conversations list screen. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or mobile data. This is a brand new phone that I bought about a week ago and for the record I'm using the same phone I bought a month ago from the same seller on the same firmware. The only difference is that mine is rooted and I've frozen or uninstalled most all of the bloatware and VZW bullcrap. Otherwise they're identical and one has what seems like an app bug but the other one does not.
I've tried numerous things before posting here (to include lots of searches that only seem to turn up similar issues for those who updated to Lollipop) including uninstalling Hangouts updates as well as Google+ updates as per one thread I saw. Neither had any affect on the issue. I went into the user's Google account to see if any other devices were signed in currently and it doesn't appear to be the issue.
My next step is to root and see if freezing the same apps corrects but where it sits right now would make a warranty exchange through the seller a little bit easier I would imagine.
I'm not really sure what else to try short of accepting the OTA update (Lollipop) which will w/o a doubt introduce more problems than it fixes based on what I've read. Not only that but my LG G3 is functioning just fine on 4.4.2 so I see no reason why the same device shouldn't perform the same on the same firmware version. Makes no sense.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks!
I currently have a rooted S4 on kitkat and purchased a LG G4 from T-Mobile. I'm sure this is an easy thing and I've not been able to backup and restore all of my MMS / SMS from the old phone.
1. I have 85,000 msgs. Yes, I want them all.
2. Yes I want my MMS AND SMS. Yes. All of them.
3. Yes. I want the Emojis too. Though not as important
I've tried SMS backup / restore and it takes over 48 hours. First time it crashed. Then reset phone to factory defaults and did it again as it takes too long to delete all of the messages again. After the factory reset, I did it again and it said it only restored 75,000 out of the 75,000. This doesn't make sense because when I do the backup on the S$ it's over 86k, and when I started the process it said it was over 86,000. Yet it said it did them all.
That seemed to work okay. MMS and all. However, on a couple dozen threads it came in on TODAY's date. I read online you just need to open them with stock app, open the thread, and it works. No dice. All but the last few said they came in today. No clue why. Strange thing is that it was only the last 4-5 that were today's date. Rest were okay.
So here is what I am offering a bounty for. I can't believe it takes me about 10-15 mins to extract all of my messages and over 48 hours to shove them back in. That sounds crazy to me. Especially since this G4 has a ton of ram and processing power. I would like to do it WITHOUT root, but if I need to ROOT I guess I can do that too. It's been over a week and I still can't use my new phone because I can't get these messages into it.
I have been all over google and haven't found any good answers. Top rated answer that works will receive the bounty. It's a way you guys can help me (In case I missed something on another forum) and I can help you by throwing some money your way. I've found threads but some were old and I can't imagine this 48 hour method is the best way.
NO I DON'T WANT THEM ON GOOGLE HANGOUTS
P.S. I'll throw an extra $25 bucks to the person who helps me merge my SMS backup+ that sent it to my gmail account and this XML method. Back then it would backup my MMS too but not restore them. I would like all of the SMS and MMS from my gmail somehow thrown back into one giant file? Is this even possible? It's been years and it says this feature isn't available yet. (SMS BACKUP+)
Bumped it up to $100 and posted here:
