Cant sync one spesific email account on Sony Xperia devices - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On both my Z2 and my moms Z1 i cant sync my Hotmail account on the built in app, but on my HTC and LG devices its working just fine.
My moms @Live account works fine on her Z1, and i have another test account which is Hotmail.com which is also working just fine..
Can anyone think of ANYTHING here? i have been searching for days now but nothing.

Bump

The problem had something to do with my inbox.. I moved all my inbox email to another folder, set up email on my Z2 again, moved all emails back and setting up email on my Z2 one more time.. After a while it seemed to load emails from a month back as i set it too, and now it seem to work just fine..
Still i dont know why the Z2 had problems and not my LG or HTC..
Well, case closed.

[Q] Sync phone book with facebook not working

My phone book when i had my arc use to sync all the pics with fb but now on the xperia s it has synced a couple was wondering if there is a solution or any1 with the same problem. I have fb inside xperia turned on so it should work
thanks in advance
They'll all be in your google contacts already I guess, so merge them there and they'll update on your S as soon as gSync runs.

I can't do it. I have sync my contacts through my gmail into my xperia s and then I logged in facebook and checked the option sync my existing contacts. But nothing happened. What i do wrong ??
Go into contacts
Hit menu then filter . Make sure Facebook is ticked in the option
Failing this , I had a problem where my contacts came over and not the pictures .
What I had to do was uninstall the facebook updates . Turn off the Xperia facebook sync
Add the facebook app updates , log on and set it to sync all contacts
Waited for sync to finish then added xperia facebook sync
It then worked
I had the same problem! Facebook updates and everything but will not sync my friends' photo onto my phone! Had to use "facebook sync" from the store/play in the end
I have a relatively same problem.
My contacts aren't synced with FB. FB sync either way syncs all my FB contacts with phone number.
I'd like it to sync only the ones that are already in my phone. How can I do that.
I'm also having this issue, with my X10 it was just a case of going through each contact and 'joining' them with their Facebook profiles, although now I've moved over to the S I cant seem to figure it out, i have the odd couple of friends who have pictures as their contact images but these are either coming from Gmail or G+
the occasional Facebook picture will link up but not all of them like before
I had the same problem. Just go to the settings>accounts & sync settings and there in Manage accounts tab you should have facebook inside xperia and there you should have sync calendar, albums in agllery and contacs. Works fine on mine
Hi i cant seem to find this option in my XPS.. "facebook in xperia" as that of the arc..

Ahh.. will try that. Didn't work first time. Maybe more luck next time
Although I tested mine and it works fine, I use Friendcaster pro for push notifications and contact pictures. The pictures are a higher quality and look really nice compared sometimes. I used to use it as my main Facebook app, but Facebook have really stepped up how good their app is now
Oh and by the way there is a free (ad supported) version as well, called simply Friendcaster
I've always had a problem with the image quality, but now it also downscales the images I set to a thumbnail format. Facebook images and manual set images get (I think) sync with gmail, and get replaced by a thumbnail version (same goes for facebook images, so i assume it's the gmail sync.
Any way I can fix this ? I still want to keep sync with gmail, and the above app "friendcaster" I might try, but it wont solve the problem for manual profile pictures I set.
I hate this, I've got a huge ass crystal clear screen, and only low quality and/or images with 100by100 pixels
i still cant get the phone book to sync contact pictures with facebook. i get three different contacts when facebook sync and facebook inside experia syncs. i get different info for each.
do we have to manually merge all the contact info?

Same here.
The only thing Facebook in Xperia synced for me was my best friends relationship status lol.
Urgh! I do not know why. But this still does not work for me, and its a bit frustrating!
Anyone have any solutions on the new ICS for this issue>
This is due to FB and Google not agreeing on the way contact settings are stored. Doesn't work on ANY ICS device without some kind of hack.
Whats the flag which defines the sync?
Hi, my ques is that what criteria or field is it that is necessary for a successful sync?
Like, i have 2 phone contacts with matching names as on facebook, and same email as used in their fb a/c (both hv no nmbrs posted on fb).
But one contact sync beautifully with bday, photos etc, but the other has no info pulled!
So what criteria sets d sync???

[Q] Email app showing only 1 day

Hey guys,I come from Xperia play forums and one of my family members bought an s2 that I set up,and updated to ICS but now its having bad email problems...
Up until today, the stock email app was receiving email just fine from a company server that deletes them whenever they are downloaded.Now,the widget is showing the latest mails,but you cant open them,it jumps to mails from last wednesday and stays there. Do you have any Idea how I can fix this? Its kinda urgent since some important emails are stored on the phone.Btw there is nothing in trash.

You should delete the email account and re-create it.
Check all settings for receiving mails from the server.
And check settings in EMail app.
You can define the time period for which you want to receive/display the mails.
Good luck !

No syncing with two accounts

Brand spanking new Tablet Z3. Two Google accounts. None of them will sync, I can't activate it either. Works without a hitch manually but that somehow misses the point. So, no Gmail or any other syncing for me. Interestingly, my Google Calendar does sync even though it's stuck on manual too.
No root, no nothing. OTA from 4.4 to L the minute I first turned it on.
Is this a general Lollipop problem or specific to Sony? I've never had two accounts on Lollipop but right now I'm in the middle of migrating my stuff from one to another (does anybody have a clue on how to transfer paid Play apps?!) so I kinda have to.

Well, try to remove both your accounts and relogin into them. Also, see if you have enabled sync on both accounts.
If that doesnot help, try a factory reset.

Xperia Z2 Hotmail/Exchange Activesync sync error

I had this exact same problems with my Z, and now i have gotten a Z2 for workphone, and still i run into this problem.. WTF Sony!?
Setting up Hotmail on the build in email app does not work.. Automatic setup, POP3, Exchange Activesync, IMAP, different settings such as hotmail/outlook server name, ports etc etc does not matter.
It loads up my last email, but it wont sync new ones - It says sync error..
I want to get notified as soon i get email and i want to use the build in app..
Can anyone help me out here? Never had this kind of problems on LG, Samsung, Nokia, HTC, its just setup up and go... What is it that Sony cant do which every other manufacters can do easily?
What settings do i use?
It always worked for me and stopped working lately.
I don't think it is a Sony problem, but a Microsoft problem.
In stead of push notifications I set it to check every hour and now I get notified when there is mail.
But if its a microsoft issue, why is it working with the build in email app on both my LG V10 and HTC One but not my Z2?
That is a good question...
As push notifications are initiated from the server when a new mail arrives and as it works when my phone asks if there is a new mail, I still believe that the problem should logically be server side.
But for the reason why, and why it works on other clients/phones I haven't got a response.
Maybe bill gates' Walkman has aten his favorite tape and he has taken vengeance by blocking Sony from his services xD
I don't get it. Every other email app works just fine on the Z2, Gmail works fine on the built in email app, every other phone I have owned worked fine with Active sync on Hotmail, but not on the built in app on my Z2.. I really want to use the built in app, this is ridiculous.
It works on the first sync after setup, then it won't sync anymore , saying temporary sync problems.

Now i done a factory reset, but still the same.
Went up to my mom and looked at her Z1 today, she is using @Live.com, and her syncs just fine. I noticed a difference is the servername, on mine its dub405-m.hotmail.com and on the Z1 it was dub408.. I tried to change mine todub408 but its set itself back to 405 again.
ARGH how annoying !!
I think i have found the cause of the problem - put Screen lock either PIN or PATTERN or password then should work. Then once delete the account and make same new one.

phonebook gone after removing email account

Hey there,
so among others, I had a company email account on my Z3 compact, using Exchange ActiveSync. Meanwhile, they don't use Exchange anymore at the company and so I wanted to delete that account because I can't access my emails with the phone anymore anyways.
Now I found that it has also deleted almost all my phonebook entries since, apparently, they were connected to the Exchange ActiveSync account. I wasn't aware at all that it would do that, is there a way I can get the entries back?
Additionally, Google shortly afterwards requested I re-verified my password because of "suspicious activities" ?
Regarding phone specs, i have an xperia system update pending 23.5.A.1.291, no idea what Android version I have currently. No rooting.
Thanks for any and all comments.

ttt, anyone can help me please?
