Htc incredible & comcast email notification

I just got the HTC incredible. My question is that when I am at work I have the phone on vibrate. After 1 minute the screen goes into the sleep mode. How do I get the phone to alert me (via flashing green light and vibration) when I receive an email. My carrier is comcast. It seems as though I have to unlock the phone every 15 minutes to get the notification. Shouldn't I be alerted even when the phone is in sleep mode? I do get text notifications when the phone is in sleep mode. Just an FYI if the email is sent to the gmail account the notification works in the sleep mode, for some reason it just doesn't work for the comcast account. Thanks

I would call comcast on that one. They will more thna likely have you login to your email via internet explorer. They will have forward mail options, but the only thing is how there's works. They may have a forward all mail option as opposed to store and forward. If they do the first that means you will get your mail through your gmail account only and then it deletes it off their server.
Now you can also setup gmail to download pop3 email directly. Logo on to your gmail account via internet explorer. Click on "Settings" located in the upper right hand corner. Then click on the "Accounts and Import" tab. Goto the "Check mail using POP3:" section and click on "add POP3 email account" You will need the settings from comcast you used to setup on your phone email application. I haven't added it this way because I own my email server so I could do it on mine with no problem how I wanted. How ever, there should be an option to leave the email on the server. Select that, you may have to search for that one.
I have a total of 4 different emails I access on my phone, 3 of the 4 I access through my gmail by having two of them forwarded. Then I have a lotus email from work and I have an app for that.
Hope the above helps you get setup. If you get tuck on a page, post a note here and I will get it.

Here is a link to basic setup instructions for gmail access to pop3 accounts:

There is the option about leaving the email on their server on the above link under "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server" section. It tells you what to do there.

HTC Incredible/AOL Email Account

Am I missing a setting on my Incredible that would allow me to delete an AOL email off my phone but still allow it to stay on the AOL server, so I can access the information later on my PC?

Hi I understand that you have question regarding your email account on your Incredible and I will be happy to answer it for you. If you delete the email from your phone, it does automatically delete from AOL server. I do not see an option to avoid it on the phone.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

CANNOT SEE EMAILS WITH EMBEDDED LINKS ON MY HTC INCREDIBLE

I recently linked my Outlook account through a POP3 on my HTC Incredible. For some reason I'm not able to view messages with embedded links in the body of the email or the senders signature. For example - If someone sends me an email and they have a FB icon embeded in their signature, I'm unable to view the email. I can see who it's coming from but cannot see the text in the body of the email. Does anyone have any work throughs for this issue? Thanks!

Hello,
Please try the troubleshooting step provided below:
Touch the Email icon from the Home Screen.
Touch Mail size limit option.
Touch No limit.

Outgoing POP email on HTC Incredible

I am getting a "server not responding" error when trying to set up outgoing mail server on my POP.
I have verified the settings with my ISP provider, but still getting the error.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Anything unique about the HTC Incredible and using POP email with Verizon?
Please help!
Thanks.

jgs....that's what vzn initially told me too. they said that cox did not allow sending through their network except from the device that you actually set up with them (usually your home pc) for spam prevention reasons. i actually went so far as to set up a dummy hotmail account, just to use the uotgoing server settings. so i had cox incoming and the hotmail outgoing (but i named the account on my phone with my cox email so it appeared it was coming from my cox email). that worked except that the email app changes the username and password on the outgoing to match the incoming every time you close it (it assumes you are using the same account). so i could send this way, but had to manually put in my outgong hotmail info each time. then i found the correct cox outgoing (or at least, it's worked so far). unless cox is set up differently in different regions, you should be able to do it.

Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

I have an HTC Incredible 2; I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds. I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders. When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work). I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked. The problem seems to be that these are .dm files? Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds? Or is there something I missed? Something else I can do?
I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work. I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
Ay one have any suggestions? Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

Auto-included link to list item not working in Workflow or email notification

I made a workflow straight from my SharePoint site--NOT from SharePoint Designer. (My computer is still running on Windows XP, so I can't download Designer until my boss upgrades me to a newer system.) When creating the workflow, you have the option to include
a link to the list item by clicking a checkbox. The links don't work in either the email notification or in the workflow properties. Extra characters are being added for some weird reason. (For example, the correct link looks like "https://www.w14b.comcast.net/sites/<yada
yada>.docx" and the links in the workflow and email look like "http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/<yada yada>.docx") I see no place to edit the URL. How do I fix the links???

Hi,

Email notifications per email account, and bundled together? (former Android user)

Hello there,
I made the switch from an old HTC Android to the new iPhone 5S two weeks ago and the one thing I cannot configure to my liking is email notifications in the notification center. I have multiple email accounts that recieve a moderate volume of emails on most of my accounts per day and need a quick way to view the activity of a given email account, not the app. I currently use two email apps as follows:
Mail - iOS7 native app
x2 Exchange email accounts
x1 Windows Live email account
x1 Yahoo email account
Gmail App
x2 Gmail email accounts
I have configured the notification center to notify me for all but the yahoo email account. The problem I have is that the notificaiton center only shows X number of recent emails (selected in settings) the APP has recieved, and does not say which email account it is, or how many extra emails on top of X that I selected were recieved. My phone is on silent 24/7 and the only vibrates for phone calls and text messages. I will periodically check the notification center throughout the day and use it as a summary of what has happend since the last time I checked.
On my Android, each email account would have two lines in the Android Notification center. The first unread email on an account would use those two lines to tell you the subject line, time recieved, email account, the total number of unread emails, and the app. Once that account gets two or more emails, it simplifies to say the number of new messages, time the last one was recieved, the email account, the total number of unread emails, and the app. What is really nice about that setup is that each email account had two lines in the notification center, no matter what, and at a quick glance I can see which email accounts are really acitve and I probably need to check on. If one email account was really active and I wanted to check on it, I could select the single notification for that account and it would take me to the (already updated) inbox where I can quickly browse to see what all the emails are about. At this point it may sound like it is just different and I just need to get used to the iOS7 interface, but let me share an example where iOS7 lets me down, and Android has done well for the last couple years:
During M-F from 8-6, my two exhange accounts and one of my gmail accounts are the only accounts I care about. One exchange account receieves 5-20 emails per hour, and the other exchange account might recieve 1-5 per day. Only a small percentage of those 5-20 emails need a priority response, but the account that gets 1-5 per day are emails that I need to know about and respond to right away. What happens in the iOS7 notification center is that I may not even see a notification for the email account that gets 1-5 emails per day, and if I do, it only tells me the sender, subject line, and some of the body if I allow more than 2 lines - it does not specify which email account it was sent to. I can choose 1, 5, or 10 emails to be displayed for the Mail App in settings, but the 5-20 emails I recieve can bump the 1 important email from the one account out of the notification center.
Is there a way to configure notifications per email account, and bundle all the recieved emails (by saying "# New Messages" or similar) on a given account into 2-4 lines? My ultimate goal here is to not lose a notification on one account due to the high volume of another, but to also keep them concise enough that I don't need to scroll through a massive list of notifications like one giant inbox.
I would appreciate any tips or advice to configure the notification center better for my use case. Thank you!

Yeah.. I have problems with all apps that have notifications.
Forget the Google Gmail example.. I'll use imo, Groupme, and Facebook as examples.
I see the notifications. But when I open the app, it won't show the newest received messages. It will take a few second before the app would refresh.
With my Android experience, all apps would update with the new information in the background. It appears that even though the apps are running in the background in iOS, the actual app appears to be paused until you reopen the app. That's when the app will refresh with the new information.

HTC Incredible reboot fix that works and does NOT require hard reset

Like many of you unfortunate souls out there I have had my HTC Incredible go into a rebooting loop over the last month or so. The following recounts some observations and and a solution which appears to work.
First off, my son and I both have the same phone and software versions and apps. He does NOT get email on his phone because he does not want to. I do. His phone has NEVER rebooted. Mine has done so numerous times. My business partner also has the identical phone and software version, lives within 200 yards of me, and uses the email and has had numerous reboots and has gotten them even sooner than I saw them at first. My partner and I have set up email attachments and downloads to go to the SD card. So much for background info. Here is what I did to fix the problem followed by some other observations:
Open up the case of the phone and remove the battery
Remove the SD card from the phone.
Put it into an adapter that allows you to access files directly on your computer. In my case this was a Windows PC running Windows 7.
Mount the SD card in your computer and open up the browser to see the files on the SD card.
Look for a folder called ".Mail"
If your phone is like mine you will see hundreds of files, some of zero length. This was even though I had deleted most of the emails I received on my phone.
Proceed to directly delete any of the zero length files. For that matter, you may have other files like jpg's laying around of uncertain origin. I got rid of these and other strange files that seemed attached to no documents at all.
Remove the SD card and reinsert into your phone. Put the battery back in and the cover on then restart the phone. Your phone should run properly and you should not see any negative consequences from the files you deleted previously.
Some other observations relevant to this solution that bolsters my theory that this problem has something to do with the email application and also a problem with file system corruption on the SD card as a consequence of it.
I had previously seen the email application put some mail from a different account I was using into my main account. The files could not be deleted and even trying to do so would cause the mail app to force close.
My son has never seen the problem despite being in the same environment with the same phone and software. Relevant difference to me was that he was NOT using email and I was.
The email app clearly has bugs if it is leaving behind hundreds of files even if you delete the emails. Why? As a software engineer my first instinct would be to look to see if the file system locks were properly synchronized when the email app is writing to the flash file system. I am not conversant in Android OS programming nor the app code itself so this is speculative on my part. I would also look for a timeout on reboots if file system enumerations take too long. Lots of files on a system might trigger a premature timeout and reboot. Once again, this is speculative on my part but I sure wish I had the code to debug this myself.
These issues seem to coincide with a rapid rise in network traffic most likely because of the iPad 2/iPhone support by Verizon. I wonder if this additional traffic load on the network is opening up timing holes in the software because of backoff and retry intervals for certain apps. Once again I suspect the email app especially because it is vulnerable to network traffic issues as it tries to get email account updates.
I could be wrong about my theory as to why the problem is happening. My solution seems to work. As far as pulling the battery and putting it near your AC in the car, that did NOT work for me at all. Leaving the phone out of its protective case also had no effect. Only screwing with the files on the SD card mattered.
I hope this helps.

This problem has been seen for MONTHS now by people besides myself. My business partner is about to put a bullet in his phone because this has been happening for far longer than mine. I have little confidence in a fix anytime soon because this problem has been persistent for some time and there is a lot of denial in the field by Verizon. Verizon has to depend on HTC and Google besides themselves for fixes. How much would you like to wager on how this business relationship is working out? The first step in any solution is for a company to take some responsibility for it and so far no company has.

HTC Incredible Network issues?

I have only had issues with my HTC Incredible here and there. The issue is that sometimes I will not receive text messages or phone calls. There's one specific person I am having problems with and they have Sprint. They say that they called me and texted me and I have received nothing. This isn't the first time it has happened. The day this happened, my phone sounded the notification sound of a message 3x but nothing was there. So I rebooted and it did it again but again, nothing. Anyone out there know what could be the problem or help me fix it? It is really important that I stay connected to this person. Thanks!!

Thanks for the information Ann154. Your correct, the issue is more than likely with the other persons carrier. Additionally , it could also be a routing issue with your account if you have recently changed mobile numbers or ported your number in to Verizon Wireless from a different carrier.
I would have the other person check with their carrier first then if the issue continues, you can contact us to perform further trouble shooting.

Not receiving email notifications for 30 minutes

HTC DROID Incredible HTC
My phone did some software update and wiped out my phone. I have since reset everything however having problems with my POP e-mail, which is AOL. When it gets an e-mail, the phone does not say so for at least 30 minutes. If at home have to keep my phone on and logged in to my e-mail so I can see when I get an email because the phone is not telling me right away.
From the phone, I go to my mail box and the hit menu --> more --> settings --> send and receive. It's set up like this:
Mail size limit: no limit
Set download frequency: every 5 minutes.
**When I click on set download frequency it's set like this:
          Peak time days: every day
          Peak time start 6:00 am
          Peak time end 11:59 pm
          Frequency: Peak times every 5 minutes
          Off Peak times every 5 minutes
Dowload options: Bt days: Today's
Just now I received an email at 10:55 am howvere the phone did not tell me until 11:35 a.m.
Please help! And use simple terms and directions, please!

    Hi silvergal,
i know the importance of receiving emails in a timely manner to the device. I went through the details on the HTC Incredible and found that the additional POP3 email accounts aren't visible through Accounts & Sync. They're only available on the option for Mail as you described you're following. There are two additional settings we need to check in the device. Please go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync and verify both Background data and Auto-sync are checked on. These ensure the device is set to allow the sync to be working properly. I also suggest you confirm there aren't any battery management or task killer apps installed. These may prevent the full function of syncing and would need to be completely removed from the Google account to stop the impact. Please update us on these settings and apps.
Thank you,

Update instructions for HTC Incredible to Gingerbread

These are the instructions that I followed to update my HTC Incredible to Gingerbread. They are straight forward and do not require a rooted phone.
Word of caution - this update is not without its problems (as demonstrated by the numerous issues posted here), apply at your own risk. I have had "low memory" issues, hardware information showing I have a 4.3" display, deleted applications (not a lot) and battery life issues. I have not had IM issues since I don't use IM. If I was to do it again, I would backup my phone and do a factory reset after I applied the update (to clear out applications and reinitialize the OS file system).
Hope this helps.

I received the update notification and everything proceeded as described in the PDF until the update reported I didn't have enough space in system memory to complete the process. It left me in the Application Management app. I dumped some data and moved some apps to SD but now I have not way to resume the update.
I performed a soft reset with the battery pull. The PDF does not cover this scenario.
What should I do now?
Thanks to the community. I can understanding the update process has been difficult. The next step I would take would be to do a master reset. Once you reset the phone it will prompt you to install the update. The steps to performa master reset are as follows:
From the home screen, touch Menu
Touch Settings
Touch SD& phone storage
Touch Factory data reset
Tap Reset phone or Reset phone & internal storage
Tap Erase everything
I hope this helps. Thanks.

Headache with HTC Incredible

I have become flustered with the HTC Incredible. It has become so flaky that the battery will barely stay charged for 5 hours of standby time with everything minimized.
I was hoping to just go buy a replacement from the local Verizon store, however they are refusing to budge citing "contract" eligibility so I am stuck with a phone that is failing.
I had hoped to get things taken care of with Verizon, however their attitude seems to lay the blame on me but it is their provided equipment that has become an issue.
All I wanted to do is get another phone and even if it was a simple old flip phone I would have bought it but the store agents and even their so called on-line agents have their hands tied; yet they were given a supposed rating of being great by Consumer Reports. (I am giving them a flaming letter for that rating as Verizon has not wanted to help in any way.)
So this is one last try to perhaps someone in the Verizon Custer Center World, that can help. Can I get just a smple replacment phone or will I have to buy my own and replace it that way? If so, I might as well pay the early terminaton fee, cancel the service that you have not been providing very well and pay my money instead to AT&T.
Stephen in Atlanta with a DROID Headache

I am now a FORMER Verizon member after paying the ETF with much happiness. I decided after walking into the local Verizon store (company owned) that after the headachs and no action from the over the phone customer service that it was best to leave.
To this day I can not still figure out WHY I was being charged $173 a MONTH for the phone service I had. The store person could not figure that one out either and he offered to replace the Incrediable with the Incredible II.
As I had reached my limit with Verizon, I headed out of the store and headed for the APPLE store where I got me a ATT 4S which so far is holding to the predicted $75 month charge.
As for customer no service, that is pretty much a Verizon thing.... ATT, excellant communication and I can EVEN email them too directly.
Have fun every one.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered
