Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

I have an issue where not all numbers are synced from Google Contacts using MfE.

Some types of numbers (home/mobile/work) are not transfered to the phone, I would guess this is because the phone doesn't know how to map the type from Google to it's own format. On Google you are allowed to select type "custom" for a telephone number and enter your own text for the type. I haven't managed to get any of these synced, would it be possible to store these as "other" on the N9?

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

I changed my password for google account, and now email and caldav are failing to sync.. From what I'm reading, it should automatically prompt for a new password if it fails due to password, but its not doing that (using 1.2)..
And there does not seem to be any way to manually change the password (other than deleting both the gmail and caldav accounts and creating them again)?

i've done full flash of rootfs and emmc but the issue persists. i've 6 MfE accounts and 3 Gmail accounts set to up-to-date

emm, 6 MfE accounts?)) we have a limitation in 5 MfE accounts... ;) I suppose that your problem is caused by too much connections that are established always (for always-on mode). More over, if you have some favorite folders in Gmail accounts you have on established connection per favorite folder plus connection for inbox. My advise to you is to switch some of the accounts on 10 or 20 mins interval instead of always on. I don't have any other idea (yet).

P.S. my idle consumption is 7-10mA for 2 gmail accounts, 1 MfE and 1 POP accounts. However, I'm usually using scheduled sync (don't see much point in always-on mode, but it is a personal preference :rolleyes: )

just check my answer in this tread about this feature/issue ;)

Are you reffering to this bug: https://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198 for the battery drain?
I am very interested when it will be solved. Can't putmy accounts to always up to date due to it currently.

hmm, isn't it fixed in PR1.2? if not then at least as far as I can see the fix is in PR1.3 code.

From your reply, does it matter WHERE the contacts come from?

yes, it does.

No, all MfE contacts will be deleted during the account deletion.

NOTE: in PR1.2 there is a field in the contact's card that shows you contact's service (Facebook, Exchange, etc.).

Like I wrote it before - it is a protocol limitation. So, no, it can't be fixed.

So I guess everything is now working fine for me again.

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

I have a Gmail account configured as an "Other Email Account" and I have noticed that when sending plain-text emails that a newline is not included after my replies, even when explicitly entered into the email.

So that an email may end up looking like this:

Has anyone had these sort of issues before?

Thanks.

good news :)

Just a small note: servers usually allows to use "old" password a little bit more for recently connected devices. So, usually you will not get this "sign-in" view instantly right after you changed the password on the server side.

One issue was fixed, but a regression was introduced resulting in the same battery drainage pattern.
Have a look what the Nokia employee responsible for this fix wrote:

Yes that's correct, I strongly urged the release manager, multiple times, to
put the fix into 1.2 but it didn't make it in. I've also done the same for the
next release, including more requests this week, but unfortunately the fix is
still not in that yet either.

As best I can tell release management doesn't understand/believe that it's
important that this bug should be fixed and that fixing this issue should be
considered high priority.

It can't hurt if customers continue to request this bug be fixed, in comments
and by voting for this bug.

Currently I keep my GMail account syncing every 10 minutes, to avoid this problem. When it happens and I do not notice in time - my battery goes down in 2-3 hours from full charge.

Do you know why N900 worked with more than one number?

On the other note: Does anyone knows how to copy text from an inbox email (not the text that I type in, but text from somone else's email) to paste into an sms or calendar, etc?

Thanks!

@Discoveryellow
You have to move message in question to the Drafts folder, then find it there and start editing it. Pretty complicated and unconvenient, but does the trick.
