[Focus General] foxbat121:
It does support exchange activesync. In fact it is THE only push email technology the phone supports (both Hotmail and Gmail use EAS).
[Focus General] mmurray21:
thanks for the reply. I take it this means, I shouldn't expect a change and need to order a new phone.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
That means your Focus currently already supports push email from your Exchange server. What you need is to talk to you IT admin about how to configure it (you will need to connect to an external exchange server address that is accessible via internet, not your desktop Outlook) and if you are allowed to do so (some companies add additional permission policy to limit the access). A new phone doesn't solve you any thing. EAS is not a new technology. It's been here about 5 years since old Windows Mobile 5.0.
[Focus General] mmurray21:
So what specifically do i need to request since the current setup works with WM 6.5, iphone, and android.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
There is nothing special need to be done on Focus. Exchange Active Sync is the same as on WM. iPhone or Android. The only thing that WP7 lacks, from what I read, is email encryption. If your company requires email encryption policy, it will not work. But again, Android never really supports email encryption either. So, if you have Android working (not using 3rd party software like TouchDown), you should be fine.

What exactly is your problem with your Exchange Sync. Outlook Hotmail connector has nothing to do with it. It is only required if you want to sync your non-Exchange Outlook calendar and contacts to hotmail.
[Focus General] mmurray21:
Actually, I have only tried it with WM 6.5 and iPhone. Email does require encryption. When I try to add the settings to the focus it just says it outlook account info is incorrect. I had heard 3rd hand that people were able to get android going so thanks for the heads up. I was about to order an atrix.

I guess iPhone 4 is my only real option...
[Focus General] Goines:
I'm willing to bet you just have the settings incorrect and your focus will work perfectly.

I work for Microsoft and I've had WM5, WM6.5, all of the iphones, and now a Samsung Focus all connected to corporate restricted exchange.

Our corporate policies are very strong, and yet our phones work fine. I can't read an encrypted message on the phone (but no phone other than the old WM can do that), but as far as connecting and downloading mail I think WP7 does it best. The only feature I believe is currently missing is threaded view, which I would assume is coming at some point.

My WP7 phone is currently connected to two separate exchange servers (MS corp, and outlook.com, which is similar to hotmail). So it's all possible.

What is it you're trying to do, and what's not working? Hotmail should work 100% since I believe they've rolled out direct exchange support for all accounts.
[Focus General] mmurray21:
Thanks for helping.... Email works fine with hotmail, yahoo, and gmail. Its only when I try my outlook exchange mail that I have any issues. I have tried all of the possible permutations for setup.

I am not the only one with this problem

answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-sync/does-windows-phone-7-sync-to-outlook/48ae2598-f773-4b4c-87cc-54d8c5c012d2

pocketnow.com/windows-phone/how-to-sync-windows-phone-7-with-outlook

They both seem to point out the deficiency with the phone.

So you have ecncrypted corporate email and dont have a problem?
[Focus General] Goines:
You've lost me a little bit. Which are you trying to sync to Outlook (the desktop application), or Exchange (the mail server system)?

If you're trying to sync to Outlook, then i think you're out of luck. But, if you're trying to sync to Exchange (which is what 90% of people will have Outlook sync to), then it should work. I read both of the articles you linked, and they refer to Outlook data syncing, not to exchange. At least from what I gathered.

The phone can sync any mails with exchange, but there are two limitations. Specific private encrypted mails can't currently be read on any phone I believe (I think WM6.5 was the last OS to support them), and the WP7 device doesn't support full OS and storage encryption. It is possible for an Exchange admin to require that setting, although it's not common. A future release should include device encryption.

So, if you have a requirement on the second, then it sounds like WP7 won't current work for you. But, if it's not device encryption that you're looking for, then it sounds like WP7 should work fine.
[Focus General] mmurray21:
Thanks for your help. I am trying to synch with exchange. I'll keep trying to configure it. I've asked our IT guys for help, but they have never even seen a phone with 7.

When I setup the account, there is a setting for logs. Do you happen to know where those end up and how I might get to them?
[Focus General] Goines:
I don't know where the logging goes, but perhaps the error message your getting can be helpful?

I ran across this page:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...exchange/7ccd6098-f9b5-44c7-84c6-2fd9e6a097f9

Which appears to hit some of the issues you're facing, and might provide some validation to the settings you're using.
[Focus General] mmurray21:
Turns out your hunches were right, after escalating the issue for a week, the IT team came back and said "ooops" we forgot to add you to the list.

I put in the settings and everything works great. Thanks for challanging my assumption.
[Desire General] opsahl:
I need the help of an expert!

I did the unrevoked root, which I misread (apparently) thinking that it did a backup of my current rom. Then I tried to flash pre-rooted stock 2.2 and upon reboot it's stuck at carrier screen (Alltel).

I decided to reload stock, but as I said I was apparently mistaken about unrevoked doing a backup.

Is the device bricked? Any rom I try to flash doesn't work. I can boot into recovery, i can mount usb, but that's it.

My ultimate goal would be to put rooted (or unrooted then root afterward) 2.2 on the phone. At this point I'd settle for 2.1 so the phone... works...
[Desire General] killall:
I aint no expert I'm afraid, but just a thought...

did you do a factory wipe/cache wipe/dalvick wipe before you flashed?

On my first attempt, I forgot and ended up stuck on the bootscreen.
[Desire General] markdomingo:
I had a similar problem before, can't mount as usb, sd card does not work. You may want to try out the steps from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639 . This worked for me.
[Desire General] opsahl:
Thanks,

I did do a data wipe, cache and dalvik wipe prior to flashing. I've gone through the full process a couple of times including battery pulls after reboot and hang.

I have usb mount through recovery (whatever recovery unrevoked placed on it). I can access my sd card through usb, I just don't know how to get this phone back to stock. I would be happy with almost any daily use rom at this point...
[Desire General] killall:
If you want to go back to stock you need to look for the RUU (stock Rom) for your carrier.

If you search this forum there is a thread somewhere which lists all the new RUU's

here it is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

[Desire General] opsahl:
Thank you. Was not aware of RUU's for download, searching now. :)
[Desire General] opsahl:
Do you know if a Verizon RUU would work with Alltel? I only ask because I'm not finding the Alltel RUU... Perhaps my search terms could be better? I'm searching "Alltel Desire RUU"
[Desire General] opsahl:
Update-RUU

Ok, I found an RUU file, for my Alltel CDMA HTC Desire....

But it's exe? And the instructions I read tell me to plug my usb and (in the android interface) select "htc sync" for how it should connect. I don't have any UI, because I don't have an OS! :) Thoughts on how I could use this file or should I keep looking for a zip to flash?
[Desire General] killall:
When it says HTC Sync, it means the program you download from HTC. The one for syncing your phone. Go to the HTC site and you will find it on the download page.

Edit: Ah I see what you are saying! Not sure on what to do if you can't select HTC Sync on your phone. Maybe try running the RUU.exe and see what happens?? Sorry if this doesn't help
[Desire General] killall:
Just a thought, the ROM's you are trying to flash, they are for CDMA Bravo and not the UK ROM's ?
[Desire General] opsahl:
Yes CDMA Bravo

thanks though.
[Desire General] killall:
Maybe take a look at this thread. It tells you how to remove the ROM from the RUU so that you can put it on to your SD card and flash it from recovery. (at least I think that is what it does?:)

Edit: Sorry!!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102

I also read somewhere that if you put the phone into Fastboot , then connect to your PC and run the RUU.exe, it should work if you are S-OFF

Perfect! This extracting the ROM worked! Tried everything again with newer version of unrevoked (had one downloaded to hhd, idk why it didn't occur to me to check for updates). Now running Cyanogen 6.1 :)

Once you've played with CM6, you should try CM7, its good enough for daily use. In fact I use the nightly's (this ROM flashing becomes a bit addictive after a while)

Hi Im stuck on an infinite loop on my samsung vibrant after installing. I need to get to recovery mode so I can flash another rom on my device.

The big problem is that MY USB PORT doesnt work! if it worked ok I would just flash with ODIN and everything should be ok! but my device isnt recognized on my pc!

I need to get to recovery mode so i can flash another rom and use this brick!

Please someone help me! :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Ok....

1. Remove the battery and put it back in to make sure its off

2. Hold both Volume buttons while powering on the phone

3. You should go into recovery mode

If not then you gotta Odin your way out.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Well you could use a JIG to get into download mode, but you need a functioning USB connection to use Odin....can you use another PC?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awca22:
Well I dont really need I think the JIG because with buttons combinations I get on download mode!

ODIN is not an option because my phones usb port I think is ruined.... I connect it to my pc and it only shows as USB Device not Recognized.

If I could fix my phones usb port I could ODIN it....

Now I think theres a combination for recovery mode but I cant get to recovery mode... :(

"THE FACTS

1. Voodoo recovery is included with the kernel, however you can not see it on your phone. However, you can install the program android screencast and view recovery on your computer.

2. Is OK to install coming from a Voodoo enabled rom.

3. If coming from a clean JFD install, you may or may not hear Linda's voice. You will sit at the double rainbow for about 5 minutes before it boots. It is converting to ext so do NOT do a battery pull!

4. ONLY THE KERNEL PROVIDED WILL WORK!!! DO NOT FLASH ANY OTHER 2.2 KERNELS!!!!

5. This comes pre-rooted!

6. Includes KB1 Modem

7. Only REAL issue at present is the GPS does not work."

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
How do you know the usb port is damaged? I suggest attempting to use other usb ports on your computer

It sounds like you flashed the gingerbread double rainbow rom if iI remember correctly the only way back to stock or other roms is to use odin

You are able to get into download mode which is a plus but you need to exhaust all possible resources in checking your usb port is ok, maybe you just need a new cable but I find that unlikely as you have to use the usb to charge your phone but in either case its worth a shot.

Ok, so I've done some searching and I've found my problem is pretty widespread over a few different devices. However, it seems like no one has come up with a solution. My problem is this, SO a couple weeks ago I had the sync icon pop up in my notification bar. But then it didn't go away. I've tried looking on other forums for this solution but nothing yet. Thought I'd see if anyone here has the same problem and if possible, how to fix it. I can't help but think my battery life is suffering since it seems that since this started happening I notice the battery drain a bit faster than it used to.

I've tried several different possible solutions, except a reset. I loathe the idea of a reset, but if that's what I have to do then I will.

Solution...

I decided to give up on my weeks long search for an answer online and called support today. Figured out it was the ooVoo application I had installed for video chat. It seems to keep your device in this perpetual sync mode even though you're not in that application. Once I deleted it the damned thing went away. My Tab, now with more battery power for Angry Birds.

Hi there :), I just need some info about some stuff about ROMs, kernels and modems.

I plan to flash the latest firefly ROM on my rogers Captivate (SGH-i896) and need a but of clearing up. Some question will be thrown your way :)

1- if I do flash the ROM, what and modem gets flashed with it? Or do I have to flash them separately?

2- whats the difference between speedmod and suckerpunch #59?

3-Is the lagfix included in the ROM or kernel (if it gets flashed with the ROM)?

4- what the heck is vodoo?

Thanks guys :)....I did a lot of reading on different threads and somethings are worded differently and confuses me :P.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjblack11:

2. depends on what you like better

3. yes(usually)

4. a freaky spiritual thing cajuns do(lsu tiger fans and new orleans saints fans)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay1390:
1. The ROM includes the modem so there's no need to flash one separately. And if I remember right, Firefly uses the JK4 Modem.

2. Suckerpunch includes the ability to overclock and/or undervolt which affects battery life and overall performance. I personally use speedmod because that's what was included with my ROM and I haven't decided to flash a new kernel.

3. Yes, the lagfix is included in the ROM and the kernel is (if I'm not mistaken) what controls the lagfix.

4. Voodoo is another set of custom tweaks and enhancements that improve a number of things including speed, audio, and video.

Hope that answers your question.

to be honest, gingerbread for sense rom (ARHD,Leedroid,CoreDroid) is currently in development. So it maybe take some times for theme to get work. All of them are in still in beta phase. No overclock kernel working yet, and much more still in development.
