Gmail would not configure on Nokia E72

Hello Friends,
I recently bought a Nokia E72. The Problem is, it wouldn't let me configure my gmail account. It works for Yahoo, hotmail etc and OTHER gmail accounts, just not mine. It doesnt throw any errors either. I wonder if it has anything to do with the phone or with MY gmail settings on the web. My gmail account would work on another E72. Complicated eh?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Sanjeev

From your message, you've tried your google mail account on another E72. Google mail is accessed through Nokia Messaging (to give push email) - Nokia Messaging is tied to the ownership of the E72 - I don't know for sure, but maybe setting it up on another phone has caused a problem?

Nokia e72, gmail setup + syncing contacts and cale...

My objective was to
1) get my contacts into the phone from this account, as I had on my old windows mobile device
2) set up my gmail account on my new nokia e72
1) getting contacts from gmail into the phone.
Go here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
and carefully do whatever is instructed.
*This works for calendar also (I assume you will want your google calendar to come into the phone, and sync thereafter. But all-day entries on google become 24 hour entries, modified by your timezone (eg xyz birthday, 15 mar 2010 5.00 am to 16 mar 2010 5.00 am). Otherwise the calendars seem to sync ok therafter (didn't spend much time there).
*This does not work for tasks. (read the google sync instructions carefully for nokia. but not for tasks, or for email bodies (though email headers sync, and you can probably create and send, and delete etc your email on the phone)
*This does not work email either, ie you can see the message headers, but can't see the bodies of emails on the phone.
The explanation for this I found after much digging is that Mail for Exchange on Nokia is actually meant for Microsoft ActiveSync servers, and Google is providing limited sync facilities using this ....system. (correct me if I'm wrong). See the datasheets on Nokia Europe websites about Mail for Exchange.
Over all, a pity, but you can't blame Nokia. As for Google (in whose hands further improvement lies for MFE playing nice with google mail), I hope, and believe they will make things better here (unless they lose their interest in it like they did with google gears).
2)Now getting your email from gmail into your nokia E72: Here Nokia is at fault, and a serious deficiency. I went to email setup in the menu's and started the wizard to create a new account. It seemed to have preconfigured setups for common email providers like gmail, yahoo etc. I started the gmail set up wizard, keyed in my username and password, then waited 5 seconds, and the screen went back to the previous one. This kept repeating, every time I tried. Tried everything: checked internet connectivity (wifi), closed all other apps including the MFE I had set up earlier, switched off and on the phone, everything short of standing on my head. So what works? How do you set up a personal gmail account on your nokia e72? go here:
http://www.techniqx.com/2010/02/workaround-for-configuring-gmail.html
(I paste that text here in case that page is removed:
"The email software in Nokia E72 still has lots of bugs. To configure your Gmail account, it’s not as easy as selecting Gmail and entering the credentials. That simply won’t work as there is a bug. Instead, workaround is to select “Other” and enter a false id like [email protected], this will take you to the next page to select the type. Select “POP/IMAP”. Now, you will get an option to enter your credentials and modify advanced settings. Here change your email id back to [email protected] and enter the credentials as mentioned here> (the gmail site for imap manual setup):
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
And you have gmail set up. Quite inelegant process of setting up gmail on this nokia phone, I would say.
Nokia, please iron out the bugs and inconsistencies in your flagship models' primary functions. Otherwise the phone functions very well, the interface is nice and attractive. And while the bugs are still there, please put up the limitations and the workarounds if any prominently. Nobody expects 100 % perfection.

I had a number of problems setting up Google Apps with my E72 phone. Mail, Calendar and Tasks were not syncing.
Mail
I have spent far too long setting up google apps to sync properly with my new E72 (latest software installed). It really is a superb phone but if Nokia is not going to fully support integration with Google Apps with a simple app then Android and Blackberry will simply take over for Apps users. It really isn't up to Google to solve this its up to Nokia. Are we going to move from Google Apps or change our phones????
I have gmail and business google apps accounts and both are now syncing properly with what seems to be pretty good Nokia email software on the phone. This is allowing me to receive, send, view attachments, view sent mail etc. Here are the steps I took from the beginning. Its a repeat of some of the good advice above which helped me on my long journey!
1. Enable IMAP for the google accounts. Couldn't get anything to work otherwise.
2. Follow this instruction https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78887
3. The inbox should now be working however you now need to map the other folders you want to see on your mobile. While at your inbox go to >settings>mailbox settings>what to sync>folder subscriptions.
4. Click on Gmail and highlight the folders you want to see
5. Go back to your inbox and go to the dragdown list of folders and highlight 'More Folders'. Under 'Gmail' you will find your sent items along with attachments etc. Problem solved. Its not a pretty solution but at this stage like me you just want something that works.
Calendar
This was a nightmare and I am now running a third party app called Googasync which is working fine. In 10 days time I will need to buy this so if someone knows how to setup calendar syncing properly without it please let me know.
Tasks
Googasync will not sync Tasks and I don't know if there is any app out there that will. If someone can help please let me know. Surely this should be pretty simple!?!?!
By the way I mailed Nokia support last Thursday on the above but have not received a reply other than to tell me that Google Apps is 3rd party software and not supported. Nokia needs to wise up.
In summary its a great phone and I've moved from a Blackerry Bold to it but I shouldn't be spending days finding workarounds!!

WRT300N Router will not configure during setup

I have a WRT300N Router Version 1.1, when reinstalling this on my computer after a crash I cannot get the setup to complete. When the setup goes throught the config stage it gets to 99% and then stops and gives me an error message that it would not configure.
I have updated the firmware and this still will not get it to work. What can I do?

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Yup, by TOS I meant terms-of-service
As far as I know the way it works is that (1) your phone maintains a connection with (one of the) Nokia servers, so that as soon as the Nokia server has anything to say (e.g. "new e-mail"), your phone gets it; and (2) the Nokia servers fetch your e-mails so that (1) can work.
Now, I don't know how (2) works. In theory the Nokia server should act like an IMAP client, and should be using IDLE in order to fetch the e-mails as soon as the server gets them.
I don't use Nokia Messaging anymore (I now prefer Profimail on my E75), but for some time I did research a bit on that topic, and noticed that the Nokia server was making an IMAP connection to my e-mails server (fastmail.fm) every 15min, i.e. not keeping it open permanently using IDLE. It may be that during those 15min sessions IDLE was used, and then the Nokia server simply decided to close and re-open the connection. That may sound illogical, but perhaps it's more reliable this way.
In any case, I was getting my e-mails on the phone instantly, i.e. the reconnection every 15min had no impact on the actual push delivery.
Apparently there are many people having problems with Nokia Messaging. I don't know if Gmail or Yahoo allow you to see a connection log, but if they do, please have a look and see if and how often a server from Nokia/Finland is connecting to your IMAP server.
Also, I would just in case log on on email.nokia.com and make sure that your account is active (the E72 should give you a lifetime subscription, but please double check).

Nokia E72 not charging on pin or USB

Hi, I am having a charging issue with my Nokia E72 which has the latest software. I have taken it into a Nokia Service centre but they cannot resolve.
The phone will not charge and when you connect the charger into the small pin socket the phone displays 'not charging' and then 'sim registration failed' and takes about 1 minute to pick the 02 signal up again. I have tried different chargers and currently carrying 3 battery's all the time and charging them in my old E71.
In addition to this when I listen to music via my parrot in car the music cuts out every 3 seconds as if something is interfering with the Bluetooth connection. However when I plug the phone into the in car charger (and after the above messages and signal loss) this does not happen. Very strange.
Any help would be appreciated,
Many thanks.

Hi,
So two months have passed. My phone has been serviced three times since August. It usually worked fine for several hours and was getting broken again.
During the last service visit my phone had its main board replaced along with the LCD screen and one part of chassis front (there was a tiny scratch and now it's gone ).
The device has been working well for 24 hours now. I managed to configure it and upload all data. So now - fingers crossed.
Gretings!
M.
P.S.
Earlier the service guys did the "digital block tuning" (or sth like that) but it dit not help too much.

Nokia E72- email service not working anymore

Hi there,
I recently bought a Nokia E72 for 300 bucks (euros). It looked like a perfect phone and everything seemed to work very well since two days ago.
I did NOTHINg but suddenly both my yahoo mail and gmail account on mobile does not work, not receiving anything.
When I tries to delate both the email account a message like this : "you must be connected to delete account" appears.
I re-did anything restoring the initial settings and trying to re-configurate the accounts. It seems like the authomatic configuration doesn't work at all..when I type email address and password it searches for settings but then anything happens.
anybody has the same problems? I'm very disappointed because , so far, nokia never let me down..that's why I choosed a nokia phone instead of a blackberry.

I was facing the same problem.
Try this.
Suppose you are trying to configure gmail account, then select gmail and enter username/password then it comes back to the main screen ( list of type of accounts ). Again select gamil and enter username/password.. Since I have earlier set up my gmail account, so it was asking the email and password I used for the first time to use nokia messaging application. If you don't remember yours, go to email.nokia.com and there you can try out you possible email/password combinations.
Also you can edit settings on email.nokia.com for each email account. My email account in Nokia E72 wasn't updating. Then I checked these settings and found the problem.
Try if this helps.

You can't use [[Clear Recent History]] if you want to keep specific cookies by setting an exception.
"Clear Recent History" is all or nothing.

Nokia E72 - Set up Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo accoun...

I bought my E72 3 days ago and the first impression i got was disappointing.
The first action you do when switching on E72 for the first time is to set up your email accounts.
Remember, E72 is Nokia's top email phone!!!
I chose hotmail. I enter my email account and then my password as requested.
And the next screen i get is nothing but the previous one!!!
The same happens with Yahoo accounts.
I found a way to work around the crash and set up my account through the "other" tab available on the wizard.
I am really disappointed that i have changed my beloved E71, to get an even more proffessional solution that in the end needs a total update to set up our emails.
There must be a solution in the next software upgrade and must be installed for free in all Nokia's stores.

Call not allowed nokia e72

my handset was working properly before i did factory reset. After i did factory rest to cancel the forgotten settings my phone fails to make calls by a message call not allowed. When some one calls me my phone does not ring even though it seems am online. What could be the problem with my nokia E72?

if your phone was working fine, why did you do a reset? how did you do the reset? you might have to get your carrier to send you new phone settings to save before making calls and sending messages.

Hello to all.
Recently I did migration to my exchange server from old machine to virtual machine(VM ESXI) all works fine but all (30) nokias e72 stop get mails from exchange still I have Iphone and Samsung galaxy continued to receive emails without a problematic I need to change something in server or turn on any service?
Thank you in advance.

I don't know if I can help, but I did use Nokia phones with Exchange 2003 on a previous job. Did you change anything besides the underlying server? Which version of Exchange are you running? I assume the E72 users have nothing in common, i.e. all belonging to the same department?
As a test, the first thing I would do is wipe the Exchange account from one of the E72's and set it up from scratch. If that works, then your fix will be simple, but tedious.

Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

Nokia E72 Font Folder Not Viewing

Hi ..
i want to install some nice fonts in my nokia e72. But it needs to rename by a code given in c:/resources/fonts.
i havent found such a folder in e72.As i have already enabled "show system folder" too in xplore and y browser.
look at screeshot
Is there some1 to tell me the specific code of the fonts? or to solve my that problem so that i can see the fonts folder
thanks
fall seven times, standup eight

Follow this guide to change the fonts (the information it gives also applies to an E72):
http://www.nokian97blog.com/2009/09/how-to-change-font-n97/
You should always place the fonts on a removable drive, never the C drive. Some fonts can cause the phone to be unable to start up. If they are on your memory card you simply remove the card and delete the fonts, if they are on the C drive you have to hard reset wiping all data.
If you still want to go ahead and install to C then you will need to ask on an unofficial forum. It's against the rules of this forum to give you the procedure.

Nokia E72 IMAP mail problems

Cross posted from here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=680673#post680673
Yeah, E72 e-mail client needs real work if it wants to be a competitor with iPhone 3GS (two of which I own) and Blackberry.
So far, I found these problems with it:
1. The e-mail client should be able to display all IMAP folders. Currently there is no option to do that. This is a major functionality problem. In fact, displaying all folders available on the IMAP server should be the default. Instead, the client offers the folders that don't exist at all - silly choice indeed (for instance, I get a choice to see "Sent Items", which doesn't exist on any of my IMAP servers).
2. If large number of IMAP folders is selected, e-mail client won't work any more (becomes frozen for lengthy periods of time) and may even corrupt mailbox setup (in my case, it renamed two of my mailboxes to the same name - it just called them Email). Note, it didn't corrupt my mail - it corrupted mailbox setup on the phone. Essentially, mail doesn't work after large number of folders have been subscribed to. The client keeps connecting/disconnecting and eventually gives up.
3. There is no selection for sent folder. This is a critical feature for any IMAP client. It would be nice if drafts could be selected too, but that's not critical.
4. IMAP IDLE is not implemented properly. There are a number of selections as to when to poll the IMAP server, but that is not proper push e-mail support. There should be an option for the client to keep the connection open all the time and reopen it if/when it goes down. Currently, it is impossible to have "always on" IMAP IDLE support. Which then means that e-mail delivered to IMAP server will not be picked up by the phone for many minutes.
5. Email, if configured, should start when the phone is rebooted. As of now, it doesn't, which means that even if one configures polling for e-mail and the phone is rebooted, the mail will not be picked up.
My Nokia E72 is E72-2, software version 021.024.237.02.
PS. Can someone smack Nokia Australia support people around the ears for replying with utter nonsense to customers' questions, please? It's annoying when real bugs get reported and people that have no idea what the problem is (let alone the solution) reply with garbage.

Hi all what a nice discussion on e 72 issues and I hope Nokia developers also work like users.
I have 5 e mail accounts configured g mail,yahoo,hotmail,ovi and my company account which is gmail apps . Except for gmail nothing seems to work .
First of all for email to be successful like BB push mail should work automatically . That is whenever one gets connected to net mails should down load as per parameters set . This is not happening .
Secondly i still do not know why mails do not download on manual mode also when you go to" send receive now "..I have noticed that mails do come into some of my accounts when I am connected to the net and simultaneously mail is being sent . I have tested this more than once in my office . Otherwise push mail does not work . This seems to be a serious bug .This means push mail is a flop. Further there seems to be some peculiar issue with yahoo mail .This is an issue I have for a long time . I also feel after a while whole thing gets coorupted and perhas this is the reason why e mail system stops working .
Thirdly and most annoying thing are the messages which keep pooping asking for password for different e mail account .Any one else having same issue ?
High nokia advises customers as to what they have done and what can be expected out of this system . If nokia mail system fails they will loose lot of ground to BB and apple and they can not survive selling only voice/message phones at exorbitant prices .

Nokia E72 encryption & OVI Maps

Hi,
I have two issues about the E72:
1. My E72 came with a 4GB microSD card with OVI Maps installed on it. Unfortunately there are only 1023 MB free out of 4GB, so I planned to buy a bigger card. I would like toi know if I can simply copy all the data from the opriginal 4GB card to the new one? Will the applications still work?
2. If I enable phone memory encryption in my phone, some applications stop working, i.e. OVI Maps does not work anymore, OVI Store stops working. I have to disable the phone memory encryption in order applications restart working. Is there a way to havbe phone memory enabled and still have the applications working fine?
Thanks.

I did stop using encryption as there is a slight loss of speed and overall I concluded that it was not really safe since people could access my data without knowing the lock code. (a probable exploit scenario using Voyager Home screen). I mentioned that in another post (no one seemed to worry).
As far as I can tell, in that setup encryption is useless and ends up being annoying (because Nokia forced a maximum of 20 minute time-out for the lock in that case, meaning that it auto-locks sometimes when not handy.... while navigating in the car, listening to audiobooks, etc).
/t5/Eseries-Devices-and/Nokia-E72-Bypassing-RAM-Card-encryption/m-p/658040#M64312
Going to reply to my own post saying that the annoying 20 minute limit for auto-lock when encryption is still enforced in the new firmware released this week (051).
If you are using encryption, it is not possible to have it set to higher values.
I'm re-encrypting my E72 (ram and card) to see how it performs now. Maybe it still crashes some apps when it auto-locks, making it useless for instance for trips while GPS navigating.
Will need to test to see if it is still possible to bypass the mem+card encryption code using JBakTaskman/Voyager Home as it was before... but I bet they didn't fix it.
Lame Nokia, lame... strong encryption still not useful.

Nokia E72-1 Black
firmware : 053.001
of 26 of nov 2010
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Antonis,
I hope the below can answer your questions:
1- If you are using the Nokia C3-01, then the notification lights is indeed available. You can set it through: Menu>>Settings>>Display>>Notification details>>Set it to Show. At the same time, make sure that the light effects are set to "On". To do so, follow these steps: Menu>>Settings>>Lights>>Lights Effects>>On.
Once you set up the above on the Nokia C3-01, whenever you miss a call or a message, the notification light in the middle will work. It is actually located on the silver colored bar between the green and red buttons for calls. Also, the Nokia C3-01 has a very good battery life. Therefore, it might actually fit your requirements as it is a touch screen phone with a standard keypad for SMS typers such as yourself.
2- As for the E52 and the E72, they are actually both great phones and both of them have the notification lights. You can refer to the previous post for steps on how to set them up. But from personal experience, the light effects on the E52 is actually brighter than any other phone that i have seen. So, since you are also interested in the keyboard of the Nokia E52 for SMS purposes, I think you should go for that one.
3- However, as far as Blackberry is concerned, I would recommend you to contact them directly for any details or help on their phone's features.
In conclusion, if you wish to have a simple "Old Fashioned" but sophisticated phone, I would recommend you to go for the Nokia C3-01. However, if you wish to have a smartphone with all the above features that you require, then the E52 would be a great choice as well. All in all, the decision is in your hand
