Email 4.0 apk? I have no issues with exchange on Darkside v7 or latest aokp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
How did you set up your email? I follow the instructions but it won't connect to sever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Um are you using an activesync server?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
I'm clicking on Microsoft active sync, actually I've tried them all pop3, imap. None connect to server.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Do you know what your server uses or are you grasping at straws? Try asking your activesync exchange server administrator for the settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
My Co workers had no problem setting theirs up they even tried to help me out with no luck. It was automatic for them, they just put email and password in there and bam! They had email. I didn't wanna bother the IT guy but I guess I will cuz I need my email when I'm away. Thanks for your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
If none of the options you are using are connecting to the server then you are likely not using the correct server address.

try mail.*****.*** instead of *****.*** as the server.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Are you trying to set up hotmail? if so you have to do it manually . I can tell you how if that's what you're trying to do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
Cool I'll try that. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
Trying to set up work Email.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
try this..

go to add account, fill in your information (your email and password) then hit manual setup..

then on the next screen hit exchange

then on the next screen called ( account setup ) under domain ..you will have to fill it out to look like this ( \you@email.com )

then scroll down to server and fill it in to look like this ( m.email.com )

make sure use secure connection (ssl) is checked

then hit next

not sure if this will help.. this is how to manually set up an account
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigox:
Damn!!! Still won't work, it says can't connect to server. I've tried everything!!! Thanks for the help guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
You really need to get in touch with your exchange admin.

Well it's a story known all to well. I had the bionic. Every time I would call Verizon they would tell me to wait for the new update that was around the corner or they would just replace the phone with another Bionic. The new. 905 update just made the phone unusable. I finally broke down and called verizion yet again not expecting any real help. I was very kind and basically killed em with kindness. After explaining that I have had issues since day one and that I required a working smartphone for work and there was a history of me calling all the time, they finally moved me to what they called level 2 support. Had to explain the whole process from day one to now again. The man was very kind, as was I and offered me a thunderbolt. I asked him if there was any way to change out to a different dual core 4g phone cause the thunderbolt was a step backwards. He then said he could give me a razr. OK I guess but I then asked if he could do any dual core 4g that wasn't a Motorola. He said no at first cause phone companies are cracking down on the exchanging phone issue. As I started to say OK send me the razr, he asked if I would hold for about 10min. I said sure. When he came back he said I can tell you are not happy with Motorola at all and in general not happy with the way things have been handled. He said he asked his boss if something could be done and got approved the Galaxy Nexus for me. Now I am waiting on it to arrive. (If you are willing to take a total of an hour and a half and be extra kind and not demand stuff they will work with you. Key is to keep talking till they offer a phone and never say no if they offer a phone you don't want. Just ask if its possible for something else in an indirect way) So I can't wait to start being part of the nexus forum and am very excited to be getting a phone with an unlocked bootloader again. My Incredible was just that. Incredible. I am hoping the nexus will be the same.

Sent from my POS DROID BIONIC
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Congratulations, but the "big mistake" is unnecessary and kind of insulting. I've never had any problems with mine unless I was on one of the GB-based ICS ROMs.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dragon droid:
Sorry if offended. I have had nothing but trouble from this phone. It has been so unreliable its not funny. Even with the ics leaks I still had issues. It would had been a great experience if it was reliable. I am not the type that likes to offend so I will remove that part. Apologies my friend.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
I was just being a baby. Maybe it's just me being jealous. Seriously Congrats on the S3. My brother just got one (I made him pre order to not screw up our family's unlimited plans) and I want to make love to it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
I thought the op got a galaxy nexus not a s3

Too bad you been having problems with your bionic, I haven't have any problems with mines even on the ICS leaks from 2231-235

Hope you enjoy the gnex more than I do bc for me the bionic have a better reception/data connection than the gnex I had
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dragon droid:
It is a nexus that is on its way indeed. Thanks and I am not too worried about reception as I am stability. The bionic just would not stay connected to data for nothing except on .902 and even with that I had to battery pull about every 2-3 days cause of no data. Even with the ics leaks. 3 bionics and all have had the same problem. It would have been a great phone just if data was a solid connection and an unlocked bootloader. Maybe for those still with the bionic maybe you will get an unlock tool one day. Saw a tweet from Motorola about a week ago saying they were working on one but of course its been said for a year they were going to unlock the bootloaders.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Nexus, my bad. Too many Galaxy devices going on right now! the Galaxy Nexus is a piece of sheer beauty though. Someone came with with the GSM variant on 4.1.1 for me to root, and I was amazed at just how smooth JB is.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ronaldheld:
I would not ditch a Bionic for a Nexus now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dragon droid:
I ditched the bionic for any dual core 4g phone they would give me. Just so happened to be a nexus.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
I just got off my 3rd phone call with VZW.

1st call- Told them some of what I had tried to do to fix the data dropping. (All of which I read about here or elsewhere on the interwebz) Removed battery, adjusted nighttime settings.

Result- New Sim Card, no data drops for 2 days, then they came back with a vengence

2nd call- They asked me to factory reset my phone. I'm a little bit pissed at this point but I tried it. They are the expert in this conversation and I figured refusal to waste my time would result in me wasting more time before anything was actually resolved. Also I didn't want to end up yelling at some poor soul in a call center.

Result- Data drop within 3 hours of resetting the phone.

(less than 10 minutes ago) 3rd call- Samsung Galaxy Nexus is being shipped to me. I was leaning towards the razr but they told me that the razr was having some data problems as well. I'm really sick of this and just want a working 4g smartphone. 4g is the greatest thing before or after sliced bread, I can watch youtube with no buffering at any time. I loved the bionic so very much visible screen in direct sunlight ftw, good build qualify, fits well in my hand, ect. I didn't have to hint or argue with them to get the nexus, I asked what phones were available to me and they said the Nexus and the Razr. I hinted about the S3 and they shot that down without missing a beat, probably knew I was going to ask before I started. Also I'm getting the extended battery because they are out of the regular batteries.

Result- Oh please merciful spaghetti monster let phone work out.

If you're having data trouble call them and follow the steps. I'll see you in the nexus forum, I'll be the one lurking.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mig1234:
Never

Never ever have I had problem with my Bionic. I would never of traded, no way Jose. With ICS its the best thing out. Strong casing, not that plastic thin stuff. Love my Bionic but if you happy and it is what it is. Good luck with the Nexus. Reading all posts here seems like people feel the same way. In the past I never waited that long for an exchange lol.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Won't see me there. Never had data drops and since everyone is in 4g there is no 3g traffic so 3g is very smooth. Also the fact that they gave u the fat battery means they will send u the back also which when connected, it will be heavier. But if you're happy thats what counts/

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

The reason they're running out of Bionis is because people are re-buying them. G o to Swappa and see that price has not dropped and that the demad is high. The Bionic is back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] memert:
Getting a new Bionic and sim card sent to me. Hopefully it works better than this one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rlewis312010:
For those being sent a Nexus, what about your Bionic? Did they want it mailed back to them? Did they say keep it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fozzir:
vzw

my bionic's headphone jack started going bad about 5 months in, called vzw and they sent me a new phone for free being it was under warranty. I love the bionic, if it's broke, just fix it.:cowboy:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
To those who haven't had any trouble with the bionic, I envy you greatly. I think I've given the phone more than a fair shake at this point and it gave me a white 4g signal of doom in return.

They want it back. I'd like to keep it, perhaps one day, when cars fly, moto will fix it and I'd have a valuable backup, or maybe the nexus would be the back up. Or I could use it like a tiny tablet for....something.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Atheistnofaith:
The Bionic could have been a great phone if it was not for the LOCKED BOOT LOADER, and the monsterious level of bloatware(I blame Verizon/Motorola, and not android for this issue). My experience with pure google phones has been outstanding(I own a Nexus S 4g), heck most of the modder's/developers on XDA are in essence trying to actually enjoy the greatness of simply pure google. Why else would I install a custom ROM, because most of the custom rom's are faster and bloatware free. I have what cellphone carriers have done to great phones, quite simply they turn them to ****.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Saaber:
My Verizon contract just ran out and I traded my Bionic for an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus. I never had any problems with my Bionic and loved it, but the Nexus is a better phone. It's amazing how much faster and smoother it seems, and the build quality is very good. It's not cheap feeling at all. I think the Bionic's flimsy back actually made it feel a little cheaper. I do miss the Bionic's super bright screen outside, though. That thing is just amazingly visible in direct sunlight. The Nexus' screen can't hold a candle to it in that regard, at least.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
I am curious to know if anyone here, that has switched from the Bionic to the Nexus, actually used ICS on their Bionic first. When I switched over to ICS from GB on my Bionic, it WAS like having a whole new phone, and responsiveness was amazing. Probably the same experience I would have gotten if I had upgraded from a .905 Bionic to a Nexus.

Well, that was my thought last night, so I called VZW and after about 10 minutes the conversation got to the point where they were offering me a replacement. No yelling or any arguing was required - it was very nice. They offered me any 4G LTE phone except the HTC 1X, Galaxy SIII or new Incredible (for free and no contract extension). They said that the Galaxy Nexus and Razr MAXX were probably the best that were available. After much deliberation, I opted for the Razr MAXX since I think it barely wins out due to the awesome battery life. Plus, ICS is officially released for it, so it's an upgrade from the Bionic any way you look at it. It should arrive in 2-3 days. I have no idea what the development community is like for the MAXX; I was just kind of hoping there was something out there.

Worst case scenario - I don't like it, sell it on eBay and buy a Nexus with the sale money.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
I never rooted my bionic and my reading lead me to believe that the dev community hadn't fixed this particular issue with the data. You can buy a 4k battery fro the nexus for $20 so that wasn't a big issue to me. They didn't offer me a maxx just the regular razr.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Yeah, I've seen that 4K battery...Yikes. It could power a boat. The biggest appeal to the Nexus is unlocked bootloader and slim profile. Everything can have ICS these days, with the right hacks, so the "always get the latest updates from Google" tagline never swayed me. I still don't see how it beats the MAXX. I guess I'll find out soon enough if I made the right choice. I never had any complaints about the screen on the Bionic, and the MAXX is supposed to be the same if not a little better. I sit in front of an HD display all day at work to compare it to.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
From my readings it's a more energy efficient screen vs a better looking screen. The slim profile doesn't mean a lot to me, I hauled around an OG droid until January. One warning, the tech I was talking to told me they had had razr's calling in with the same data issue that bionic has. Barring that issue and offering me the maxx, I might have gone for the maxx, but hypotheticals aren't terribly useful in RL.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
It makes sense for the RAZR to have the same issues, since it is basically the same phone as the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
So if you had a MAXX would you swap it for the Nexus even though it has no external SD and 1/3rd the battery life?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Tough call, but probably. Now that we have LTE here I can depend on Google Play Music to stream my downloaded music...that's what takes up most of my storage anyway. Battery life has been good enough with my Bionic, so the RAZR MAXX is overkill to me, especially since I work in a cell phone repair shop so I can charge it all day if I need to. Galaxy Nexus is simply beautiful, though the MAXX looks 10x better than the RAZR just because of the black-backed Motorola logo. I also love having the lap dock and microHDMI since it's the same on my Xoom, but the dock options on the RAZR and MAXX are kind of ugly due to the port placement. Galaxy Nexus accessories all look awesome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dragon droid:
You will love the nexus. I have had mine for over a week now and that sob is a screaming deamon that hasn't even dropped data once!!!! Have unlocked it and had 3 different roms on it now and the dev community is great not to mention the roms them selves. Google wallet is BA. They gave me $10 just for signing up and activating the feature. And I just don't know how to explain how nice it is to have a phone without data problems. Oh, wait, it's Bad Ass. Congrats and see you in the forums.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tghockey07:
I jumped ship too. I went to the SGS3 because I was fed up with Motorola and their disservice. I preordered the SGS3 to keep unlimited data and that's all she wrote. Don't get me wrong, I love the Bionic, but I just couldn't stand how there was no development and the pentile screen drove me nuts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Long story short - I called Verizon a couple days ago, they offered me a Nexus or MAXX as a warranty replacement for my Bionic. I thought about it for a while, then went with the MAXX. After 24 hours passed and I had slept on it, I had changed my mind, called Verizon back and asked for the Nexus. They said they had already shipped the MAXX but they'd go ahead and overnight the Nexus - nice! So, I have a MAXX and a Nexus in route to me now - the rep said I can just decide which one I like and send back the other when I return my Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scottocs:
I went to do this, but unfortunately I had water "damage". The sticker was red from humidity, but I never dropped it in the water or anything.

So they said they wouldn't do it, or if they did I would get charged $300.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
Did you have in the bathroom during a shower or bath?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Saaber:
I had almost every one of the ICS leaks on my Bionic before switching, and it really was a huge improvement over Gingerbread. ICS made the Bionic seem like a whole new phone. Nonetheless, the Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean is a lot faster than the Bionic running an ICS leak, and I do mean a lot.

I saw there was another comment about battery life on the Nexus, at least compared to the RAZR MAXX. My Nexus is a GSM model, so I don't have to worry about LTE sucking the battery, but the extended battery has quite a bit of life. I'm rarely down past 50% at the end of the day now. The extended battery is also very slim, especially compared to the Bionic's tank of an extended battery. The Nexus' just flattens out the hump at the bottom of the phone. It doesn't add any noticeable extra thickness, and actually makes it easier to hold, and makes it lay flatter on a table.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scottocs:
Yep. It's dumb because they kept saying "Water damage voids the phone's warranty".

I kept saying "It's not technically damaged. The sticker is just a different color."

It's so stupid.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
They have no way of verifying that it wasn't water damage though. They have to trust the humidity sticker. Also, having it in the bathroom is actually bad for the phone, especially if you take hot showers (i.e. are a normal person). I always leave mine charging in another room while in the shower. There's really no reason to have it in the bathroom anyway.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
Put it on speaker phone and earn some money on those 900 numbers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
um...Huh?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
That's the reason why you'd have a phone in the bathroom during a shower or bath.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Sorry, I don't get it...thought 900 numbers cost money.

Anyway, so I got both the MAXX and Nexus in the mail, settled on the Nexus and sent the MAXX back. I am running the GNex Tooolkit 7.7 now to root/unlcok bootloader, etc now. We'll see how it goes :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
Yes it costs money when you call one, but you make money if you are on the receiving end of that call.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I listen to slacker radio while I'm in the shower. There are legitimate reasons to have your phone in the bathroom.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
They might be legitimate but is it worth the cost? I'm not sure about you but my showers are less than 10min. Do I really need to listen to 3 songs while in there? To each their own.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
It's the only place where I'm a rockstar at lol.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Surlock:
I spend more than 10 min in the shower, I put a wireless waterproof speaker in there with me. I got it for like $20 online.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
Can any one tell me why android OS is draining my battery so easly? I just charge my phone to 98%, then i went for sleep and awake at morning and saw my battery was on 56% it happening with me from last 2 days. I dont know whats wrong. it never happend with me on GB.

I read alots of thread abt this problem but couldn't get any solution for this..... so guys help me out..:'(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hmnk:
This a problem with ICS Stock.. The phone doesn't go into deep sleep even with the screen off. Can you post a SS of the Battery history details?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
U mean this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hmnk:
Nope.. Tap on the marked portion:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
sorry dear i havnt take screenshot of that thing...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hmnk:
Well, if your phone's on now then take a SS of that.. That will let you know whether its a problem related to ICS or whether its a battery problem..

Check if when the screen is off, the phone's still awake or not..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
its not battery problem its ICS problem.... lets see 2nite what happen if this happend agian then i ll take an screenshoot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hmnk:
I think you haven't understood what I'm saying :)

Keep your phone locked for sometime, maybe half an hour, don't use your phone.. Then check the Battery history details and see if the phone's awake even when the screen's off.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Problem with all ICS ROMs.

Restart after charging via wall charger, then it doesn't happen.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hmnk:
Is that problem related to the kernel?? Any idea?

And I didn't get it how restarting after charging will help..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
no phone is not awake if i turn off the screen... this problem occur only in nite dont know why... may be someguyfromhell is right he said after charging restart the phone coz i charge my phone before sleep and it cause that May be.!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
No, it is not the kernel. It is a bug in the ROM, that hasn't been found or fixed yet. Restarting resets certain phone data.

It has happened always since ICS update for me, with all ICS ROMs I have used, with all ICS kernels I have used.

Restarting does the deal. I restart my phone every morning anyway, to clean up the memory/CPU, so phone will be faster.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Somyab:
It dosent happen with stock extended kernel..earlier it happened to me when I switched to krsh kernel aftet that I flashed extended kernel and and install custom rom like rs lite. With wipe data and format and this bug dissapeared..then it never came back

Hope it helps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
In my experience so far concerning battery life, the kernel plays a huge role.

Stock kernel is a big drainer. Rage kernel is very good with battery life, as is KRsH kernel.

Flash a custom kernel, and set CPU governor to smartassv2, svagedzen or brazilianwax. Those 3 are in my experience the best.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hmnk:
Thought so.. that it was related to the Kernel.. I'm on extended stock kernel now and the battery life isn't as bad as stock ICS. Although I really haven't kept track of the exact battery life on this kernel, but it's certainly better than Stock ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
I've had similar problems when my usb port got burnt, and battery indicator constantly kept showing 'charging' icon, even thought cable was unplugged. Apparently some process/service (related to USB connectivity) prevented OS to go to sleep, and that kept draining the battery... Thanks to warranty, phone got fixed, and since i havent experienced any battery drain. Last time i checked, i got up to 3 days without recharging the battery ;)
