I got my Atrix last weekend and I'm generally loving it. However, I suddenly have a strange problem.
Gmail had been automatically syncing, and Gtalk was basically always on...
This Sunday it appears I had some sort of hack into my Gmail and it tried to send out one of those bogus links to several of my contacts.
Every since then, my Gmail doesn't auto sync anymore, and I absolutely cannot sign in to Talk. I can get my Gmail emails but I have to manually sync. But when I try to sign in to Talk, it just hangs on the login screen and never turns on.
Help!!!!
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

I'm facing the same problem last time but after few attempt sync between my laptop outlook 2007 to sgs2 finally i managed to get it done. keep on trying...
I have two hotmail and one Gmail accounts set up in the HTC mail app. I set them up as generic POP3/IMAP accounts (meaning, I didn't click on the preset for hotmail/gmail when first creating the accounts). I set the up exactly the same as I always have on my Incredible.
I have them all set to update every two hours, however, only the first account (both the one created first and the one selected as primary), will actually sync automatically. The other two only sync when I manually prompt it.
I have deleted and re-set up the accounts multiple times, and even did a factory reset of the phone just in case I broke it somehow, but I get the same results. Is anyone else setting up multiple POP/IMAP accounts and having this issue?
I have also noticed that often, the led doesn't stop blinking after I check the email.... and the mail icon on my home screen will stop showing an unread number when I open it even if I don't open the unread mail....
I use the Hotmail app from the market. Notifies me as soon as I get an email. There is also a Gmail app if you need it.

I've had the notification light blinking with nothing pending to check with other apps, notably Talk. It seems that if I'm in the app when a new message comes in, so I read it immediately, and there's nothing in the notification bar, it will turn the blinky light on and not turn it off until you exit out and read it again. Not really a huge issue, if you know to look for it. What is more of an issue, however, is when the light never goes on when I have an unread message, and I have to check the screen manually. Had that same problem from time to time on my Incredible running a Sense 3.5 ROM, so I wonder if that's just a problem with the apps that come with the new Sense.
I can't stand the Gmail or hotmail apps. The hotmail app doesn't get emails past 30 days and the Gmail app, to me, is a mess. More than that, I really like having the unified inbox of the HTC mail app.

I have a similar issue. I had a Thunderbolt and both email (the Native sense combined box) and the GMail client synced fine. I switched to the Rezound. Here is what I have found. If I use the Gmail client everything syncs with the gmail servers but the native sense combined box does not update as read or deleted. If I use the native client it all syncs correctly, including the Gmail client. Here is the problem. If I use the computer or my tablet, the email on the the Rezound client does not update as read or deleted. I know I can remove the account form the HTC/Android client, but I shouldn't have to and I like the combined in box. I don't know if this is a flaw in this version of Android 2.3.4 or something is set up wrong. I am using IMAP and have not changed any online settings since switching from the Thunderbolt.
I never found a solution, so instead I came up with a workaround. I just put the sync all widget on my home screen. Now, whenever I get new email in my primary account, which doses update automatically, I am in the habit to hit.the sync all widget. Not the best solution but it's all I could think of barring going with like k-9 mail or something.
Yes, had a problem initially, but now....
Bought my phone on opening day, and immediately noticed a problem with the stock email program (not syncing, only displaying 5 email accounts). Initially added 10 various email accounts (3 pop, 3 yahoo, 2 gmail, 1 hotmail and 1 aol), but only 5 would show up on the display, so I tried adding the missing accounts again and got a message saying that the account was already setup (weird). Now all of a sudden, in the last couple of days, all 10 email accounts are now visible. I suspect that HTC might be pushing software updates/fixes to correct some of the initial bugs in the OS.
Hi All,
I've got 4 IMAP accounts that support IDLE (push email) and I use Kaiten Mail to check them. As an addition, I have one gmail (apps) syncing for work. Naturally, keiten mail is the top app that wakes the phone.
I've been thinking to maybe move all these accounts to gmail (or apps) since the latest versions of gmail do all I need from an email client on the phone and I was wondering if it will reduce the time spent in syncing wakelocks.
It does seem a no-brainer to me but before I start moving my GBs from one server to another I though that maybe xda community has some insights to share?
Thanks everyone in advance!
Hello all,
I'm posting this after having researched online and having found nothing concrete regarding the topic. I had setup my google apps for work as an exchange account on my S6 edge via the stock email app. I had set the sync for automatic and also opted to sync up to 3 days of emails. I didn't ask the app to sync anything else. By evening, the phone was down to 45% battery with email sync accounting for 15% of the drain!
I know there may be people that suggest to use another app and/ or to setup the google apps for work as a normal gmail account. I have already done this but the speed of the push service isn't that great as that on exchange. In exchange it's instantaneous but as a normal gmail id the push is quite delayed. Coming from iOS, I have used the exchange server settings on the Apple Mail app and it was wonderful with emails pushed instantaneously yet not denting the battery much.
Is there any solution to the battery drain problem on exchange servers? Really appreciate it.
