G-Mail Exchange Service Reliability? - Page 4

IGGUS · #31 (**permalink**) 10-06-2009, 05:53 PM

My first sync of the day normally has issues. Should start 8am but typically I find an error waiting for me on my phone. Set this up to my google the day they enabled email syncing.

So I sync Contacts, Calendar and Email.

In the morning I typically after seeing an error in ActiveSync have to edit the Options, uncheck Calendar and sync. Syncs successfully, then go and turn Calendar back on. Sync works again - this time as planned.

Something not right on the server side...

I'm glad this thread resurfaced I had forgotten about it. I have not been having the problems i had at 1st. The last 2 days especially have been exceptional, am i the only 1 or has everyone noticed an improvement or do some think its worse?

Do you leave active sync running in the background?

I do leave microsoft exchange connected 24/7. I don't really notice too much battery drain. It is not constantly connected with your data service. it receives a signal then it connects and syncs.

I use google exchange for my calendar and contacts (calendar emails me an alert for next apt) and it seems to work fine for me. I would say I don't really use the phone for email after works hours so I can't say how it works then. I will say that I use VZW wireless sync for my push email. I can't set how often gmail checks my other pop account so I use wireless sync for email and it works great.

BTW I do have the 29.99 data plan and was shocked that I could use wireless sync.
