I tried the MyTouch 3G last year and found that it's email sync with Hotmail was poor. If you deleted/read something from the device, it would not delete it/mark it read on the server. I tried the K-9 program, but it was pretty lame as it did not fix the above issues.

Has this been fixed? I really enjoyed all other aspects of Android, but this issue is a necessity for a phone for me.

Also, the native MS exchange server support only covered email. Have they added contacts and calendar syncing? When I had the MyTouch 3G, I bought the program "Touchdown" and that worked slick.

I am just curious to see if the Android people had advanced into the core MS functionality yet.

Thanks for any input.

POP is notoriously hard to keep in sync among multiple clients. There's usually a 'mark as read on download' setting that works ok if you only have one POP client downloading mail. When I last checked Hotmail didn't have that ability but maybe they've done some improvements. If they have an IMAP or ActiveSync option that would be the ideal solution.

In my case I don't use my Hotmail as my primary account but I still have email that goes to it. I use Gmail's ability to sync with external POP accounts to download and label my Hotmail email. This way I get my Hotmail email pushed to me like my Gmail email and I don't have to use separate email clients to read them. I also prefer Gmail's web interface and spam filter so I don't even bother going to Hotmail's site any more. The problem with this approach is that Android's Gmail app doesn't allow you to change the 'from' field so if you reply to a Hotmail email it will be from your Gmail address. This isn't an issue for me since I essentially use my Hotmail as a read-only account. If you have a similar use case then this method would probably work well for you.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna9698:
Hello I seem to have a problem and I am hoping someone can help. My phone is rooted running Modaco r20 Desire Rom. Radio is ERE27. I have a strong 3G signal in my town with T-mobile. My problem is that for some reason whenever I use data (internet,online gaming, searching using apps etc) the icon will stay on 3G then switch over to H. Sometimes it will stay on 3G and it will not allow any data. I know about the EDGE to 3G issues. I don't seen to have that issue. Can anyone help and or know why this happens?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Usually, when browsing the internet or anything is being downloaded at all - the 3G icon will switch to H. Really only in custom ROMs though, I don't really believe this happens in the stock ROM.. it's not a bad thing or a problem, at least not for me.

Data doesn't completely shut off for me though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
The "H" means you are achieving an HSDPA connnection of sorts. Stock does not have this icon in it, since HSDPA is a form of 3G and they didn't want people getting confused by it switching from 3G icon to H icon.

HSDPA is faster than basic UMTS, aka "3G"... so it is not a bad thing at all.

No idea why you loose your data connection all together when it switches, since it isn't doing anything other than recognizing you have a faster data connection than basic 3G, nothing is actually changing to cause you to lose your connection since it is still the same connection.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
no it is not...

mine does the same thing... i have to twiddle my thumbs and wait when it switches between UMTS and HSDPA... they are different frequencies just like EDGE is on a different frequency...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsvnet:
I don't think UMTS and HSPA are on different frequencies, the same two frequencies are used (alternating for downlink/uplink) for both, those are 1700mhz and 2100mhz.

For some reason I don't have this problem on Long Island, but when I'm in the city this happens the whole time. Might be something to do with the way the network is configured. Basically whenever data is in use, it just says 3G, but as soon as I browse to a site or actually use data, it switches to H within a second or so. I think a stock ROM would technically be doing the same thing, but it just won't show the actual switch, as it doesn't differentiate between HSPA and UMTS in the top 'taskbar.' Although it would probably show this in the phone status screen under settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermee:
The "3G" to "H" (and back) is a "red herring". If it's "stuck" on 3G when you're trying to do data, it means your handset is having issues communicating in the AWS bands for 3G (2100/1700) and the handset hasn't dropped back to GSM/GPRS/EDGE (1900) yet or is attempting to switch frequencies and the associated towers aren't cooperating with the hand-off or the hand-off is failing.

Cheers,

Kermee

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna9698:
Hmm I cant seem to find your suggestion? Can you be a little more specific? I am using Modaco rom if that makes any difference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Which Modaco ROM? If it is Desire, you have to flash the newest radio, and do it after flashing the ROM itself, otherwise you will have major Radio issues... at least that is my, and a fair number of other's, experience.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna9698:
Yeah its Desire rom. I have radio ERE27 right now
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Try upgrading to the newest one, 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2:

http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/

Make sure you have at least 50% battery before flashing, just download and flash via recovery just like a ROM, do not panic, ever, during the process and do a battery pull, just wait for it to flash, then ask you to reboot, reboot, it will then do the actual radio flashing (you will see a box with arrow screen for a couple minutes) it will reboot on its own into recovery, say "writting" cache with a progress bar for a few seconds. The bar will go away, but the "writting cache" text will not, don't worry it is done, just reboot and then double check it flashed by going to about phone, software, and checking baseband version.

Just remember, can't stress this enough, do not pull your battery at all during this process. And make sure you have at least 50% battery before starting. Flashing a radio is the only way you can brick an N1 right now, and only if you pull the battery during the process, or have a bad download. Speaking of which, I do recommend checking the MD5 sum to make sure it is a good clean download.

After testing out the radio on the latest Cyanogen I have come to realize that the phones data is USELESS in a 3g only area. if im outside of hsdpa coverage I cant use data while on 3G it sucks.

Ok guys so im kinda glad im not the only one that was havging this issue.

So far ive had 2 nexus ones. And on both ive expeirnce this problem where when its on 3g it would hang and not allowed any data. It like locks its self or something. Anyway so my brother and cousin bought a nexus one too. Guess what they both had, that same issue. Could never really figure it out. But it got really annoying and i finally sold my nexus one 2 days ago. I then bought a mytouch 3g slide and havent experice anything like i did with the nexus. I miss my n1 tho. Best phone ever. Oh and in order to get my data working i would turn on airplane mode then turn it back off. I would do this about 10 times a day. And it wouldnt even let me send text. Even after i updated to the leaked FroYo rom it still did it. At first it wasnt doing it but then it started to do it. So i finally gave up and i sold it. Sucks becuase thats the best phone ive ever had. Its weird how some poeple dont even have this issue. Dam google really ****ed up on the n1 with this issue. Anyway love my slide but looking forward buying another nexus one. Hopfully i dont get another one with this issue. Or maybe t mobile will release a new sicker phone. One with a 4.3 inch screen! Lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgorman:
I would like to say I have this issue as well. At random times when I try to use data and on full service 3g, the upload arrow will light up and just sit there and not transfer any data. I will get connection errors in whichever app i was using. After a minute or two the data will begin working again. I called tmo and they offered no support on it. This wasn't happening when I first bought the nexus 1 so I did some testing and returned my phone back to stock everything and it still did it. This is a load of bs and it pisses me off
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonNWalker:
Mike and I have both been testing on our Nexus Ones and we both have exactly the same issue. We will continue to do more testing, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has the same problem. I've tried all the solutions I can find and none of them have cleared my data connection issue.

This really is crazy and something needs to be done about it.

If you post that your having the problem, try to post the following info:

The ROM you are running.

The radio version you have.

Your ZIP/Postal code so we can identify where the problems exist.

If we can gather enough information I can feed it back to relevant people.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spr33:
I have this issue too (even on the stock ROM's where it doesn't change from 3G > H). It does it on every ROM I've tried too.

I'll be browsing/tweeting/watching a video on youtube/using Google Maps and it'll be working fine and then all of a sudden it'll stop working. The 'up' arrow on the 3G logo will continue to either flash or stay on continuously but the 'down' arrow doesn't do anything.

Thing I try when it does this:

Aeroplane mode

Data on + off

*#*#4636#*#* > selecting europe only (I live in the UK)

Reboot

I've also noticed that when I'm in what seems to be a really strong signal area that it'll go from being 5 bars to no signal at all.

All in all, it's really frustrating, I really don't know any other phone that does this.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgorman:
I called and talked to a Nexus One tech support and this is a summary of what we discussed.

First off, I need to say that T-Mobile has known issues in my area regarding the 3G towers and the speed.

The tech guy suspects that its an issue with the Tmo network and not so much our phones for a couple reasons.

1) The phone only has connection issues in 3G. While connected to EDGE, the phone works fine.

2) The problem does not happen all the time, it is intermittent. If it was phone related then it would be occuring all the time.

I kept telling the tech support guy that I never had issues on my MT3G or G1 so it had to be phone related. He couldn't give me a straight forward answer on that and kept saying its most likely issues with the network.

Also, tmo is in the process of upgrading their towers to the new 3G speeds. This can cause an issue with data connectivity. Call Tmo and see if they are doing work on the cell towers in your area.

There has been a thread started on the google bug tracker already.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=384f4daca48e10b1&hl=en&start=40

One of the users had this analogy that I thought was spot on.

" It occurs to me that the real problem is that the phone is able to successfully 'hear' the 3G network signal, but it's not able to 'shout' loud enough to be able to request a downlink packet, etc. Whatever threshold of db/ASU is considered sufficient for sucessfull two-way 3G communication is OBVIOUSLY wrong in the firmware."

I explained this to the tech support guy and he said that when we have the connection issue it could be that there are lots of people "shouting" at the towers and because it's so noisy, the tower can't hear you, and thus you have connection issues.

There were several things that the tech guy suggested I tried to help with the issue.

1) Do a location cancel on the phone. To do this you need to turn the phone off for 10-15 minutes minimum. This erases your SIM card info from the cell tower and the next time you turn the phone on you get a fresh connection to the network

2) Make sure Tmo has the right IMEI number listed.

Simon and I are attempting to figure out how to "lock" the phone in UMTS only mode since it seems that the connection issue occurs when going from UMTS (3G) to HSPDA (3.5G).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I've been having the exact same issues too ever since I can remember. I've been wanting to call T-mobile to let them know but I haven't gotten around to it.

To add one more variable to the equation it happens with my co-workers G1. I would have to think it has more to do with T-mobile or a bug in the android system rather than the N1 specifically.

We did just get a significant boost in 3g speeds the last week or so in St. Paul, MN from .9 mbps max down to 2.8 mbps max down. Which is awesome except for the fact I can't access data 50% of the time or more.

I've tried using wcdma only, preferred and gsm auto (prl). Nothing seems to help.

One thing of note: when I'm having this "data lock" issue I'll run a ping test and it will show "IP address unreachable" under ping IpAddr:

I'm curious to find out if there is a fix
