IPhone with Gmail over Exchange Doesn't Delete, Possible Workaround?

Hey guys:
Many of you know about this scenario, but I'll lay it all out here. I've got a Gmail account as my primary email service. I've got it setup on my iPhone through Exchange so I get my calendars and my contacts as well. When you're viewing a message on your phone that you no longer want, if you click delete, it doesn't actuually delete it from your Gmail account or move it to the trash. It just removes all the labels from the message and the message still hangs out there in the "All Mail" view, just without any labels, and it will NEVER go away.
It's been suggested to "move" the message into the trash instead of deleting the message, but I've tried that and found that the same thing happens.
So what about this as a workaround?
What if I left the Exchange account setup and turned off the "mail" option? This would still give me calendars and contacts. Then I could start another account just by clicking "Gmail" in the "Add Account" screen just for mail. Is this problem still present with a mail account setup that way? I'm reluctant to mess with my accounts on my phone if it's not going to work....
Anyone know for sure?
Thx

Well I just gave in and created another account on the phone for Mail and tested it. It works......
So here's what I did:
* Went to the existing Gmail Account through Exchange. Turn OFF Mail, leave ON Contacts and Calendars
* Go to Add Account and Click Gmail. Add the account and turn OFF all options *except* Mail. Make sure the "Archive Messages" option is set to OFF. Also don't forget to set this "new" account as your default Mail account because the phone would have just changed it when you turned off the Exchange mail.
I named the Exchange account "GMail (Extras)" and the regular account "GMail (Mail)". The only time you'll ever know that they're two seperate accounts is in the account setup screen because neither one shows up in the lists for the options that are turned off, (i.e. Gmail (Mail) won't show in the Calendars screen, etc.)
When I tested this issue by deleting some messages, it seems to work great. I'd say problem solved, wish I would have thought of this sooner.

Unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi

This might be me be being extremely dumb, but I am unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi. I have itunes 10.5 on windows, have iOS 5. When I plug my phone into my computer I have ticked the box on the device summary screen enabling wi-fi sync but when I go into my iPhone menu, the "sync now" box is greyed out and it just says that it will resume sync when my computer is available.
Any suggestions>??

Sign me up for a "me too"
updated 1 iPad,1 iPod and 2 iPhone4s and sync works on all but my iPhone4
Each iP* device has it's own Windows 7 system to sync with
When I unplug the iPad, iPod or other iPhone, the device stays in the devices list in iTunes
When I unplug my iPhone, it disappears from the devices list (which makes me think it's iTunes being petulant)
Have tried rebooting bot windows and the iPhone, disabling the firewall and 'repairing' iTunes
It's a 64 bit windows 7, FWIW, but the other iPhone 4 talks nice to a 64 bit windows 7

Using iPhone with a Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi
Is it possible to connect the iphone to a Microsoft Exchange Server to access your emails?
Thanks

Ryan Simmons,
Exchange's ActiveSync protocol which requires licensing a propietary protocol from Microsoft is what you are asking for.
IMAP is one additional port open, and can be encrypted with SSL. If they are concerned about an additional port open, VPN is an option. Then only when the VPN is active will the corporate email be available. The other argument that has been advanced on security is on Windows Mobile devices the server can ask for remote wipes of data from the phone. The iPhone only caches emails, and goes back to the server to download them again when you go to view them again. If you change the password for the account on the server, the same results occur - the email is not available on the device the next time that account is accessed from the iPhone.
This article contains an outline of the things needed on the server to support:

This article outlines the VPN protocols supported by the iPhone:

When syncing Iphone with a new itunes, does it delete everything?

My old computer crashed and everything on it was deleted so I bought a new laptop, and I want to change the Iphone setting to Manually manage music and videos and Update my iphone 4 to 5.1.1 software, but when i click that, it says that it will delete everything on my iphone. and by everything does it mean that all the apps, music, messages, photos etc? because i got some messages and photos that I dont want to be erased. and does it also delete the progess I have on the apps? like do I have to restart the game ?

yeah but if you have a backup of the old data you can restore it to the new laptop and it will replace the data on the iphone with the same data from the backup

Sync iPhone with work Outlook (Exchange Server) and home Outlook

Hi all,
I love my new iPhone 3G!
There is just one main thing remaining that I need it to do in order to fully replace my previous Windows Mobile phone functionality:
I need it to keep my work Outlook's contacts and calendars synchronized with my home Outlook (Outlook 2003 on Windows XP PC). Note: I do not want separate sets of work and personal contacts and/or calendar items, since I want all contacts and calendar items in both systems (differentiate by the Outlook category field).
With my previous Windows Mobile phone, it would sync with my work Exchange account (via wireless ActiveSync), and then resolve this with my local/home PC's Outlook when connected to my PC (using the local version of ActiveSync). When done, any contact or calendar change made at work, on my phone, or on my home PC would eventually be synchronized with all 3 systems (i.e., phone, work Outlook, and home Outlook).
The new iPhone 3G first beautifully sync'd to my local/home Outlook with iTunes 7.7. Then, when I configured my work Exchange ActiveSync with contacts and calendar sync on, it unfortunately cleared those sync'd items. Now the iPhone is beautifully sync'd with my work Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, but iTunes will no longer allow my local sync. Thus, any changes at work or on the iPhone are not reflected at home
I researched this a little, and I see that the Apple MobileMe service may be able to help me. Can anyone tell me if it will allow me to sync the exact same items with my local Outlook, the iPhone, and directly/indirectly with my work Outlook (via Exchange ActiveSync)?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!

Have you been regularly backing up? Time Machine is only available on Mac, you will see it in the applications folder.
You can also reload music

My iPhone was run over and doesn't work. No insurance with ATT or apple. Any options as I owe $500 on it.

My iPhone 6 was dropped and then a car ran it over. Screen cracked and phone bent. Goes on but of course nothing on the screen but lines! I still owe $500 through ATT next with no insurance. are there any options?

You could go to an Apple Store, ask them if it still qualifies for the out-of-warranty replacement option, which is $299 USD + tax for an iPhone 6.
You could put in a claim against the insurance company of the driver of the car.

IPhone 4s/ gmail using Exchange - password no accepted!!

Am after some help here and I know I am not alone with this issue but I am yet to find a solution.
Proud owner of a 4S as of yesterday but trying to add my Gmail account using Exchange is not working at all - I keep getting prompted to enter my password. I know this password is correct as I am logged into my PC.
When I set up my Gmail account using Gmail settings this works fine - thus proving I'm not insane and forgetting my password.
To add weight that this is a bug - my iPad (which is set up as intended) now prompts me for my password for the Gmail account - it has not done this before and has been running iOS5 since the 16th.
The settings match the ones on the iPhone 4 in the house which leaves me to think this is either related to my Gmail account (I don't see how as my Blackberry still lets me get access to my Gmail) or its either a 4s problem or iOS5 problem.
It didn't take long last night to find others having the same problem but I am yet to see any resolution of this and I actually lost sleep trying to think what else it could be.
Very frustrated as this works fine on the 4 in the house and was working on the iPad before initialising on the 4s.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Sleepless in South Bucks

Same here - I have an iPad 1 and my work e-mail (MS exchange) is synced to it. Today I had to change the passsword (company policy, have to do it every month) which I did on my computer. After that the iPad asked for the new password. I entered it, but it did not accept it. The dialog comes back even if I hit cancel. There is NO WAY of getting rid of the password dialog. I practically can't use the iPad now as whatever I do, that password window comes up and it does not accept the password and will not accept 'Cancel' as an answer either. How do I get out of this vicious circle? I Closed mail and Calendar. But I can not go into system preferences to cancel iCloud, since that stupid dialog keeps me from using any apps. Any helpful tricks?

Syncing with iTunes over wifi doesn't work

My iTunes sometimes does not recognize my iPhone... but sometimes it does. When I click to sync it will start but it will get an error eventually like "Sync failed to start" or "Unknown error -50".
I am not sure why iTunes will not sync. It used to work, but lately it hasn't been.
I put a bunch of new music on iTunes yesterday from old CD's I had and when I went to sync it showed it did, but when I went to play my music on my iPhone all the songs were just grayed out so I couldn't click on them....
so I used to USB cord and it synced fine...
So can it not send that much data over wifi or something?
I'm using iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop. I also have an iPad it won't sync with either.
Thx.

Which application are you trying to use?
The manual mentions setting up an NMEA port where you post describes a COM port. In the printing world a COM port is a USB physical port or oldschool Serial port. These may not be the same thing which might explain why your app is not working.
Lookup your installed ports (WinXP):
1. Navigate to Start > Run
2. Enter "cmd"
3. Click OK
4. Enter "netstat -a"
5. Scroll through the list and review all available ports
If your port is not mentioned above by the port number you selected from the Wi-Fi over GPS screen then it is not active and will not be useful for your apps. From the manual it looks like the default port number is 10110.
I would check the support site for your application to see if it is compatible with NMEA. They might have more steps for you on how to configure your app to utilize the GPS over WiFi feature of the MiFi.

When I send messages in Yahoo mail I am told "Message could not be sent due to a connection problem," but this doesn't happen with gmail and it doesn't happen in IE. Help?

This problem occurs intermittently, usually for several days, then fixes itself for several days. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. This has been happening for quite a while, in both the newest release and older versions. I've asked the people at Yahoo, but they have no idea what is happening.

Schedule with Exchange & Email with GMail?

Oh wise people,
I am considering getting an iPhone. I want to keep my Schedule synced with Exchange (for work) and my email synced with GMail (for personal).
Is this possible? Is the Exchange sync an all or nothing sort of thing?
Thanks in advance,
cweight

Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap on the Exchange profile you have (or will) set up, then toggle off the service you don't want to sync up. (There is a button for each of: Mail, Contacts, Calendars)

Mail with gmail

I have synced my gmail to "mail". When I delete mail from my gmail account via safari it does not seem to recicate to mail. Hence, I have these e-mails in the inbox which I have already deleted on the web. Whats up with this?

Igor_G5 wrote:
When you delete mail on gmail online it doesn't delete it from your mail inbox unless you deleted them online without opening mail first. Once it downloads to your inbox it's there until you delete it from mail.
That is incorrect, GMail synchronizes with Mail's inbox at whatever schedule you set.

Using the iphone with Bose headphones

I had trouble using the phone function on my iPhone with Bose over-the-ear sound cancelling headphones, connecting the two with a Bose connector with a mouthpiece (http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shoponline/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/accessories/qc2_commkitacc.jsp)
When the phone is on and sending a signal the headphones generate an irritating buzz which isn't audible to the person that you're talking to, but is to you. It seems to be caused by the electromagnetic field created by the phone, i.e. changing the position of the phone makes the buzzing disappear or get louder and the closer you bring the phone to the headset the louder the buzz.
Two things seem to make a difference, the orientation of the phone, move it around until the buzzing decreases, and the second is to fold a small loop (diameter 1 - 2") in the wire 5 or 6"s below the mouthpiece. This seems to cancel out the sound and with the right orientation of the phone eliminates the buzzing entirely. It seems to work best when the loop in the wire is directly in the path between the phone and the headphones. Fight interference with interference!
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Yes, same person. I talked with Bose technical support and they told me the phone won't answer in sleep mode. I guess I got the wrong person if there isn't a sleep mode. So I push the answer button on the headset when the phone rings. The phone gets answered but the call doesn't come to the headphone. Got any idea's? Thanks
