It is too odd... My phone syncs with Push over Microsoft Direct Push, but it will only do it when my office desktop Outlook is open and running. If Outlook at work is closed it will not sync over the air. We are using Exchange 2003 and have the outlook web portal running. I just don't understand why the phone will Push sync over the air only when I have Outlook open on my desktop. Anyone have similar issues or a fix?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tnk_rkc:
could you shed some light on how you've set up/configured your server
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Romp:
That doesn't make alot of sense, unless you have a bunch of client-only rules moving emails into the mail folders you are syncing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
I am using the web address to the web outlook portal on my phone; happens to be https://email.jsinc.com/exchange. I put that in and it automatically shrinks it down to email.jsinc.com.

It then connects and asks me for a login and password. I give it my domain username and password and presto it works. Downloads mail, contacts, calandar, tasks, etc. This works all wirelessly, as long as my outlook client on my work desktop is open and running- phone is NOT plugged in over USB, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. Strickly over Edge wireless.

BUT if my machine at work is turned off, or Outlook application is closed, it will not connect wirelessly. Even if I try to do a manual sync on the phone it comes back with nothing- no errors, just no mail. I THINK it says there are messages there, but refuses to download the headers- I only know this because it gives me the correct number of messages that are new during the ActiveSync, but none of them are downloaded.

Once I open up Outlook at work, then presto my mail all syncs up like it should.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
I did more digging and on our Exchange 2K3 box, I have

"Enabled user initiated sync" checked

"Enable up-to-date notifications via SMTP and Text Messaging" checked

"Enable notifications to user specified SMTP address" checked

"Enable Direct Push over HTTP(s)" checked

Under Outlook Mobile Access:

"Enable Outlook Mobile Access" Unchecked

"Enable unsupported devices" greyed out

BUT

Under my Active Directory User Profile/Exchange Features I have these items enabled:

Outlook Mobile Access

User Initiated Sync

Up-to-date Notifications.

That tells me things are where they need to be, and that the "All users" enable for Outlook Mobile Access is disabled, but MY outlook mobile access is in tact.

Are you storing all of your email, contacts, etc in a local PST file on your PC, or are you leaving your data on the server?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] AlanJC:
Do you have an AKU2 ROM? If not, it will be performing the sync through your activesync profile on the desktop, and not directly with the server (which sounds like your problem).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
I am storing everything online, no pst files.

I am running version 2.24 ROM w/Cingular 2.25 Radio Rom, downloaded from someone that started with a "x" he makes clean ROM's, over on Howards Forums- sorry forgot the name. That is version 2 right, I have a Microsoft Direct Push button on my Connections window
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Ok, I am fairly confident I know the solution but I have questions:

1) What user ID are you using to log into the server? Are you using xxxxxxxx or are you using xxxxxxxx@jsinc.com? Meaning, are you only using your Windows login name, or are you using your email address?

2) What is your DOMAIN option set to? Is that the EXACT same domain your desktop shows when you log in?

I bet your problem is that you are logging in with your email address and not just your windows login, or you are using your email domain and not your windows domain name.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
when I log into the system is it like this:

jsi\treminga (domain then \ username) Even over the web the login is formated just like that above.

Regarding the Domain piece, I have my username as just treminga, password as my password and under domain i have "JSI"

It does login and retrieve my mail over the air, just seems that I need to have my desktop Outlook open to do that, which I think is weird. I have setup my server source from both my desktop active sync AND just on the phone, does not seem to matter, still seems to need my Outlook open to act as a gateway almost- but over the air? Odd :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
So on the phone you have:

User name: treminga

Password: xxxxxxx

Server: email.jsinc.com

Domain: jsi

Is that accurate? Can you log into Outlook Web Access without having outlook open on your desktop? When you log into Outlook Web Access, what do you put in the user name box?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
This is all correct:

User name: treminga

Password: xxxxxxx

Server: email.jsinc.com

Domain: jsi

I can login from anywhere to my Outlook Web Access, my machine at work can be shut down completly- ie no Outlook open. In the Outlook Web Access I put my user name in like this: jsi\treminga (this is no seperate Domain blank in the login and password window that pops up). It will NOT allow me to connect if I just type "treminga" into the field over Outlook Web Access.

If my settings above were not correct, wouldn't it not allow me to connect? I assumed my login and password stuff was correct since I can download e-mail, contacts, etc and sync them, but only if for some reason my desktop Outlook application is open.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
I am curious if you have forms based authentication enabled on your Exchange box. I am guessing no since you do not log in with your full email address to OWA.

Have you tried logging in on the phone using jsi\treminga vs just treminga?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
To answer your question about it not allowing you to connect with incorrect settings, I have seen exactly the problem you are describing on my Exchange box, and we determined the problem was that on the phone the user name field had the full email address (user@domain.com) instead of just the user name. Once that change was made OTA on the phone started working again without outlook being open on the desktop.

I can't explain why, except to offer this one word answer: Microsoft.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tnk_rkc:
If slacker solution does not work, maybe you could confirm that you have SP2 on the Exchange box
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Should I remove the JSI part from the domain entry... ie which should I use

username: jsi\treminga

password: ********

Domain: (left blank)

or

username: jsi\treminga

password: ********

Domain: JSI
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
SP2 isn't required to do OTA activesync, just for the push. So the problem he is having would not be altered by installing SP2 I don't believe.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Also I should have the SSL box checked right? Since my Outlook Web Access site is: https://email.jsinc.com/exchange (SSL because of httpS) right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Ok I deleted my server source and readded it, I could not add it WITHOUT something in the domain section. But if I put in the JSI in the domain section, and the user name was jsi\treminga it would jsi\jsi\treminga in the error and would not connect. How can I bypass the domain box? It seems to add the jsi\ with the "domain box", so adding it to the username makes it redundant.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
I just tried putting in the fully qualified domain name in the domain box- but removed the jsi part from the user name. The fully qualified domain name is jsi.jc.com. I do not use that though though the Outlook Web Access- JSI works just fine. It is connecting, but I am not sure if it is actually fixing anything.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
I would not allow non-SSL connections to the server at all. Yes you should be using SSL.

The domain name on the phone should just be a single word. No slashes, @ signs or anything else. It must match the domain name in the domain box on your workstation login screen.

The problem is definitely an issue with the wrong login and/or domain syntax though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
looks like the qualified domain name seemed to work: jsi.jc.com for the domain. My outlook is closed at work (machine is still up) and it syncs with Active Sync, I am timing it to see how often it hooks up. Currently looks like over 6 minutes from an e-mail arriving at work, still nothing on the phone.

I can manaully sync the phone, and it grabs all the e-mail, so mystery 1 looks to be solved. In that Outlook does not need to be open now for the phone to sync over Active Sync, problem still remains that it does not seem to be pushing instaintly though.

I checked my Exchange server and I am running Exchange 2K3, Build 7638.2 with Service Pack 2 installed.

The phone is set to grab items as they arrive-verified in ActiveSync setting, both for Peak and Off Peak times.

If I delete an item it activates an Active Sync connection and items are deleted within a 30 seconds on the server.

It is strickly now about getting the server to alert my phone faster- if its the phone, or something I need to change on the Exchange Server (with authorization first of course :)),

I don't mind waiting a minute or so for an e-mail but right now it looks like it checks every 8 minutes, rather then pushing.

I tested 4 times by sending myself e-mails from my home account over the web- 1 message after each ActuveSync so there would be a new message right away after an ActiveSync would finish.

I verified the message arriving (and time stamp) using Outlook Web Access:

1st Test: 8 Minutes

2nd Test: 8 Minutes

3rd Test: 8 Minutes

The 4th Test- I did not send myself a message this time- seeing if it was Pushing messages/exchange server sending a command to my phone, or if it was doing some kind of schedualled sync or something.

4th Test: 8 minutes also- with no e-mail change- no new messages

So it does not look like the server is "pushing". I have my account enabled for pushing on Exchange. Is there something else on the server to setup to actually hook up "pushing" not just syncing. Does not seem to to be syncing. I listed all the Exchange settings above with what is checked on my account and on the server.

Thanks guys for helping me get past this stupid outlook client thing! Now on to the bells and whistles :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Ok, glad we got the sync figured out. Now for the mysterious push you need two things:

1) Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 for Exchange installed

2) A WM5 device with the MSFP installed

You have indicated you do in fact have SP2 for Exchange 2003 installed. Do you have part 2?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
What is MSFP? I am running the Tmobile MDA using 2.24 ROM from x-somebody. Direct Push is enabled on the phone though the connection window. Not sure what else I need to look at?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
If you installed xelencin's 2.24 ROM then you have what you need. Can you set the option on the device to re-sync as new items arrive?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Thats the ROM! Under Active Sync, Then Schedual, I have "As Items Arrive" selected under both Peak and Off Peak, been that way for a while now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
And you can manually sync with no problem? You get new mail when you manually sync?

Push is kindof weird. If you get a new message within x seconds/minutes of a previous sync it will not sync immediately. Not sure why it is set that way but whatever. As a test to a manual sync. Then wait 5 minutes. Now, send yourself an email and see if the phone will sync.

What are your peak times set to?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
its hard to tell, problem is that it takes about a minute from my home mail to arrive at my work account. I wait the 5 minutes, send the message, and about a minute later the message arrives- which is pretty much right around the 8 minute mark that it seems to sync any ways.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeniaL:
I wish i could sync, period. Frustrating the crap out of me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Denial, stick to your thread buddy... trying to help you there.

I am a little lost now hackths. So you are syncing automatically, you just aren't sure if the push is working? Is that right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Ok here was my full test- no other messages arrived or sent except mine:

Manually Sync'ed it at:

7:58:00 CST

Sent e-mail from home server at:

8:03:00 CST

Arrived to my Outlook Web Access at:

8:03:15 CST

Active Sync ran and found new mail at:

8:07:30 CST

These time are pretty much exact, had my Windows clock open next to all of it to record the seconds.

Is there something on Exchange that is a "Push" interval or anything like that? Just seems like the server is not pushing. Where could I check a log or some kind? (I am a system engeneer- I have full access to all of this data)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Yes Sync seems to work, it seems to sync every 8 minutes, with or without mail in the account. The phone is set to download automatically as new messages arrive- peak times are not an issue as peak and off peak are both set to get mail as it arrives, peak times were adjusted to cover this time just in case.

It seems like the server is not "pushing" even though my account has "push" enabled. I have a hard time thinking that the phone is not setup correctly. I have not had my desktop Outlook open all night, and it is syncing perfectly, just doesn't seem to be using DirectPush since it is several minutes between message arriving on server and then on my phone, seems to follow an 8 min auto sync rule of some kind.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
By the way, I have not setup any kind of devices on Exchange 2K3 or my account, not sure if there is something like that that needs to be done
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Ok, so you need to prove it is not an SMS triggered pull. Here is how:

1) On your exchange box click START -> PROGRAMS -> MICROSOFT EXCHANGE -> SYSTEM MANAGER

2) Expand GLOBAL SETTINGS

3) Select MOBILE SERVICES

4) Do you see your carrier listed there? If so, delete it. (note: if you have people using OTA activesync with your server from devices NOT supporting push email, this will BREAK OTA Activesync for them so you will have to put this back!)

Now send yourself an email. Does it show up on your device?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Also, on your device:

1) Open ActiveSync

2) Click MENU -> SCHEDULE

3) What are you showing for PEAK TIMES and OFF-PEAK TIMES now?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
First thing:

There are NO carriers listed next to Mobile Services... I am going to try to attach a screen shot of my exchange mobile services prop and show the system manager for mobile services...

Second thing:

Peak Times: As items arrive

Off-Peak Times: As items arrive

(Peak times are Sun-Sat 10:00am - 2:00am)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Look over this thread and see if there is something you are missing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
One more time to make sure I have it all:

1) Your server is configured as your screenshots suggest (no carrier information)

2) Your phone automatically synchronizes when you get new mail, even if it seems like every x minutes

If those two statements are accurate, your push email IS working correctly. The almost timed arrival of email I believe is related to something else, like your carrier or something else. But without the carrier information on the Exchange box, the SMS triggered pull will not function at all. The only way you could be getting mail automatically is via push.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
By the way here is my AD account, as you can all is enabled:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
That all looks fine to me. I believe you have it working correctly. Try it for a day or so and see if the 8 minute pattern continues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Now the link you sent me tells me to put IN a carrier in that list, and that will sync then with the server. I should NOT do that? Granted I am not authorized to make those changes tonight- change control and all. I have unlimited Data, and unlimited SMS. Honestly I would rather keep the phone out of "data mode" as much as possible since I miss calls and such if it is doing all that. I mean when active sync is running I can not get calls right- since with a GPRS connection is active, the phone is disabled until the connection is dropped?

Is there something wrong with going the SMS route? Or am I confused?

So without carriers in the fields that means I am using Push. If there were a TMobile carrier listed like that link you sent me suggests creating then I am using something else- non-Push?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Question:

Retyping this thanks to the damn back button on my mouse.....

1) You indicate you sent a message at 8:00 and received it on OWA at 8:03:15. Was the message marked as read then in OWA?

2) How do you know the mail arrived at 8:07:30? Did you get notified by the device or did you finally just look at mail to see if it was there?

If you look at a message and it gets marked as read in OWA or outlook before the device syncs, the device will not notify you of a new email. Why? Because it isn't new any longer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcleek:
Pre WM5 there was no push option. The method used was an SMS triggered pull. The SMS message was a specially formatted one that the phone would not dsplay to the user, but caused the phone to sync.

Without carrier information the sms pull method can not possibly work. So if you are automatically getting mail without it, you are getting push mail.

GPRS will most likely always be active, but voice calls take priority and will kill a GPRS transfer. You are not being charged for just being in data mode.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
jcleek:

Your message about the times is correct, except the message is not read if I am just in OWA. So I keep hitting refresh and as soon as I see the subject I recorded the time. On my phone I have it give me an audio alert, so I knew exactly when it came in- I also had the screen open to active sync and watched it begin the sync. So to be clear I did not read the message in OWA, and I was alerted to new mail with a message tone.

Regarding the sync, I would prefer it to not sync unless there is something there for me period. In fact I missed a call 15 minutes ago (alerted since I got a voice mail after the fact), during that time it was syncing for a second. I don't have a TON of faith on it dropping GPRS connections- had trouble with WeatherPanel clicking off my radio all together on occation when I was in a call and it would try to take over the connection to sync its data.

I just think that Push is not really working (maybe it totally is), it just seems odd that my phone seems to sync every 8 minutes (give or take 30 seconds), even if there is nothing on the server waiting for me. That is what i should check... I have not gotten an e-mail since 8:21. I am going to disable my IMAP checks, and application updates- so NO data other then DirectPush is enabled. I will report if/when ActiveSync registers a sync

Is there a disadvantage to SMS pull? I have unlimited SMS's so I am not worried about that, as long as I don't have to see them, unless it will affect my battery life really bad, miss calls, or miss sms's. Any way you cut it I won't be charged for data or SMS (unlimited both) but I want the easiest way with the least chance of the phone not accepting a phone call.

Thoughts?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Alright, my phone has not gotten an e-mail since 8:21, but (since I have been looking), I have recorded an Active Sync connection 3 times...

9:06pm CST

9:14pm CST

9:22pm CST

9:30pm CST

As you can see, each is 8 min apart, nothing has come across, nothing has been touched, all my data accounts have been paused since 9:00pm.

I have now disabled DirectPush, going to see if it keeps trying to sync the mail. Should be a good way to see if Push is Pushing or not :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hackths:
Well it has not done a sync since 9:30. I recieved an e-mail (sent it myself around 10:04), and it never pushed. So I guess push must be working, I am curious as to WHY active sync keeps syncing every 8 min when nothing is happening on either the server or the device?

It is now 10:08 and nothing has been pushed (ie the e-mail from 10:04).

Mayby you should go back and read again what it does and what it uses before posting crap? Yes it uses the proximity sensor but it also uses the s-view sensor.

But it is no way near how nicely stock works.

Dude, i know. I used it a while ago on CM. At first it seems cool and everything, but after a while it annoys the crap out of you. Every time you accidentally place my finger near the proximity sensor the app goes off and interrupts what you were doing. I'm back on stock now and it's way nicer. Just flashed it yesterday after being on cm for months.
