Samsung Galaxy not syncing emails!

cddh · ‎03-17-2010

Anyone else having a problem with the Samsung tracfone bought from QVC in June? I posted on tracfone FB also. I can't get it to even get emails manually. I also don't like that you get a beep for incoming texts. I don't carry my cell phone around with me so often notice texts later than sooner. One of my first tracfones, years ago, would beep continually until you opened the text. Also, sometimes, it doesn't even beep if texts come in close to one another. I think I will retire it when another tracfone special comes around.

I don't have this specific phone, but I do have a Tracfone. Have you checked out the online tutorial for your phone? Usually, you can select how you want to be notified for an incoming text, email, etc..

I have the LG Ultimate II and I set different sounds for each one. Also, there's a choice of alert interval for texts (I have mine set to repeat every 5 minutes until I read it).

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (not a TracFone). Periodically the e-mail service stops working and will not connect up to my Yahoo e-mail. The last time this happened was earlier today (Saturday). I'll get a message that says "Unfortunately e-mail has stopped).

Sometimes rebooting the phone clears it up. Sometimes it doesn't and in a day or so all goes back to normal.

I haven't researched why this happens; I just roll with it.

I have this problem with an Android tablet and an app.

You may want to make sure your email, contacts are backup, and then uninstall your mail app and reinstall. If you are using a app included with your phone, you may want to disable it and clean its cache.

I've been a tracfone customer for maybe 20yrs and never had this happen with any oher phone. I am trying to chat with tracfone about this problem. Also, my message notification doesn't always beep - that's frustrating. I am going to ask if I can transfer my service and minutes to my prior LG android that didn't give me these problems.

I had an LG before this Samsung. Liked it better; didn't have the issues I am having with this Samsung.
