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

i'm having the same problem with contact thumbnails from my Exchange contacts as well. no issues with my other Android devices, only the Atrix4G. it must be a MotoBlah issue...
Ditto and very disappointing.

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.

my bigger issue is the lack of pictures.

yep. knew this as well. 2 things i miss with the stock email app (compared to the HTC Sense email app) is the ability to increase font size in email and the "hack" to disable the Exchange Pin requirements. and then there's the picture issue.

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.

The issue occurs with Microsoft Exchange 2003 as well. I am facing this. It was working fine with my older phone the HTC Desire Z.

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,...)

I also have got the picture issue. it's very annyoing!
we're using exchange server 2010
about last name / first name: i've been looking around forums but it seems to be not possible with this version of motoblur. i installed go contacts which can sort contacts by last name.
Is it possible to sync several calendars of one exchange account to the phone?
not supported by EAS protocol.
But how is it working on the iphone then?
I have all my exchange-calendars available there.
Is there any workaround, or any other way how I can get my exchange calendars to be synced to the phone?
I'm sorry, I'm stupid and wrong. It's shared calendars that are not allowed by protocol. Multiple calendars are supported by Touchdown, but your question whether stock gingerbread activesync or any possible Samsung enhancements can do it too remains open.
Can anyone help here? Is it possible to sync multiple exchange-calendars to the android-calendar?
Any news here? Can anyone who has the device already please help here?
Fix
Just put your calendars at the same heirarchical level in the exchange folder list. Worked for me. Makes no difference to Exchange/Outlook.
Do you happen to know how to get multiple contact sets working (without using Touchdown)?
BTW I just moved to SGS2 from an iPhone 3G - the exchange integration on the iPhone is way better than Android. Battery life is abysmal too...at the moment.

This does not work for me.
So, I'm asking again: Is there any way to sync multiple calendars from ONE exchange account to the Galaxy S2. Touchdown does not work correctly either.
I know, the Motorola Razr can sync multiple exchange calendars. So, it obviously depends on the manufacture's implementation of the calendar app and Samsung is failing here.
So- is there any way? E.g. a different rom which supports it?
With my Galaxy S3 (using OMEGA 8.0 ROM) it neither works to sync multiple calendars. Only the main exchange calendar is synced.
Come on Google, Android is now on 4.0.4, iOS is waay better in this aspect here! Time to fix that!!! REALLY embarassing...
I have been struggling to find some way to automatically update (both ways) calendars among my three pieces of tech, TP, GSII phone and Windows 7 laptop (outlook 2010).
I know the key is probably google calendar but can only get them all to sync in a very messy amateurish way.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or shine a light on what I'm missing I'd be very grateful

I've been using this for long time, to sync my Desktop(Outlook 2010), my Macbook Air(Outlook 2011), My Android phone, and my HP TouchPad running CM9 and it works fantastically. All it does is sync Outlook to Google Calendar. You can select different configs, one way, 2 way and so on. The initial setup takes a little bit of work if you have different events on different devices, but once that's done it is perfect
I currently sync my blackberry and my touchpad to Google Calendar and it works fantastically. The Google Calendar is the best central hub for all your other calendar applications on your devices.
Hello all,
Looking for a mail program that will receive mail from 3 to 5 accounts and filter it into a separate folder for each account.
Thanks,

Default email program allows multiple accounts, it keeps them in different folders.
Almost as complex & hard to set up as Outlook, but satisfying in the end: K9 and Kaiten. You can swap config files between the two, so you can start with the free K9.

Ditto, it works very well. I use it on both my Note 10.1 2014 and my Note II. I've had up to eleven email accounts working on it without any problem. Although it keeps mail in separate folders it also includes a unifying inbox to make it easier to keep up-to-date will all accounts, this is something I found frustrating with Outlook in that it does not include a unifying inbox, thus on my desktop PC I've now switched to Thunderbird.
Count me as a big fan of aqua mail

cloud magic is awesome
TouchDown for smartphones and tablets is the best I have ever used. It is harder to configure compared to aquamail, but once it is set up, you will be happy. I currently use aquamail for my personals, and touchdown for business (office 365 account). I highly recommend it.

I personally use CloudMagic for my email needs (1 personal Gmal, one Google Apps Gmail for school, one Hotmail, and one Yahoo). It also supports office 365 accounts, exchange, iCloud, and IMAP accounts. You have separate folders for each within the app, as well as a unified inbox option. Its really smooth and very useful, as well as looking nice too

I agree, Nine is the best Outlook-esque email app I have used on Android. Very nice UI, crisp and modern, able to change fonts for outgoing messages, etc...
Got my new Pixel XL and everything is great, except none of my Google App Data is syncing (most notably my saved WiFi networks because that's easiest to check). Additionally, my Google Keyboard personal dictionary will not show up on my phone. I have no sync errors, all sync settings/accounts have been checked, forcefully synced, removed/re-added, etc. Standard troubleshooting stuff.
The issue is not just the Pixel. Two weekends I wiped my Nexus 5X and gave it to my buddy so he could take Android for a test drive (considering the jump from iOS). I use my Nexus 6 for my G Suite work phone, so while waiting for my Pixel to ship I just created a second profile on the Nexus 6 for my personal account. I experienced the same sync issue there as well. I chocked it up to running multiple profiles (I've heard Google Keyboard struggles with multiple profile dictionaries, especially business profiles) and just sucked it up until the Pixel arrived.
Well now here it is and I'm still not syncing, so does anyone know how I can fix this? I've never had an issue in the past, I'd log in on a new phone and all of my stuff would be waiting for me.
Side note: I spent an hour chatting with Pixel support this morning about this issue, even though it's not a Pixel issue, I thought I'd see what the support is all about. What a joke.
I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Nougat. Android Backup Service has never failed me until Nougat. Starting to lose hope that my data is recoverable.
I have similar problem with Google keyboard sync, primary I use personal Gmail account and as secondary Gmail work account. When I remove work account and reinstall Google keyboard sync start to work until I add Gmail work account... I don't understand where's the problem with it...

Interesting data point.
I don't think the issue is Nougat. I added a few words/shortcuts to my dictionary on my Pixel XL, and then ran the sync on my car's Android 5.1 head unit and the words did not sync. (Neither do my saved networks). I don't know how to get support on this. No one knows what I'm talking about most of the time, there's no official support;I can't just call up Google. Pixel support is really only good for helping me figure out how to power on my phone. I was hoping they might have some connections but it's just typical lackluster support.

It's because Google Keyboard doesn't support sync with GSuite accounts But I don't know how use two accounts, one GSuite and second free and connect the app to the free account. Any idea?
BTW f*ck Google when it takes more usability to free users that to paying...
