Hi everyone, Just picked up my Tab yesterday (from Verizon). So far I'm very happy with it. But the Gmail app leaves a lot to be desired, in that it's not really tablet optimized. I like the Email app, but it does not receive push notification when configured for Gmail. I tried configuring Gmail through an Exchange setup (as noted in the link below for iPhone, which works great), but I get a "cannot connect to server" error. Set Up Your Apple Device for Google Sync : Mail, Calendar, & Contacts - Google Mobile Help Has anyone found a solution to getting push email on the Email app? Thanks!
I use a tab every day. It pushes my gmail app but pulls for the email app from Samsung. I agree it should all push but it doesn't. Now what's funny is my exchange pushes directly to mr tablet natively. While my X has to use Touchdown to get full lush capabilities. Sorry I couldn't be more help Sent from my DROIDX
Yeah, exactly. Exchange is a native "push" platform. On iOS, they somehow allow Google Sync to push to an "Exchange" configured email account. Works great on my iPod Touch! Really what is needed is a tablet-ized Gmail app.
I actually followed these steps and got push gmail on the default email app on both my galaxy s and tab
Really? When I create that setup I get an error "Unable to connect server." Can you confirm your settings? When I view the account setup, I see Domain\username \<username>@gmail.com Password ****** Exchange server m.google.com Use secure connection (checked) Accept all SSL certificates (checked)
the above in red are my settings no changes in server.. i got the instant push for gmail and contacts... calendar is not working though
When you first create the ms exchange account, you leave the DOMAIN blank, correct? If so, I don't see how your account settings show the Domain\username like this: username
Has anyone had luck with this? Can't get it to work for the life of me Sent from my SPH-P100 using Android Tablet Forum App
