Temp fix for iOS 6 not pushing Exchange mail

All,


If you are reading this, you are probable having the same problem as I am:


After you switched to the iPhone 5, Exchange mail is no longer PUSHing to your device. I have done testing and this problem affects:


1) iPhone 5's running connecting to Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 servers.


This does not effect:


1) my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 Beta 6.0 10A5376e


Troubleshooting:


1) Wiped phone and started with completely fresh iOS 6 on my iPhone 5. The only thing I did was add my exchange account.

-Still had same issue.


** How to fix this issue:


1. Go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. Click "Fetch New Data". Make sure push is on.

2. Go back to Mail, Contact, and Calendar. Click on your exchange account. Click on "Days to Sync". Even if it is set to what you want this on, chance it to a different setting (i.e. 1 week). You can change this back later, but this is the only way to fix it.

3. Go back to Mail COntact and Calendar. Click on "Show". No matter what this setting is on, change it to a different setting. (i.e. 100 recent messages).

4. Reboot your iPhone 5

5. Exchange PUSH will be working now.


Thanks,


Clay

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Push has not worked for me from day one (5 weeks now) and I have never had an apsd crash. I installed the latest patch today and it broke 10 minutes after the reboot. I mentioned this earlier but this IS an LTE problem! We have 5 users on iphone 5's with AT&T where we don't have AT&T LTE service and push has always worked on their phones. All phones are set up exactly the same, I am the only one on Verizon. Verizon does have LTE in this area.

waytogoidaho: Thanks for the info. I am on ATT with LTE service and I get the lost push, but I also have apsd crashes in my logs that (I thought) were correlated.


For what it's worth, it seems the severity of my lost push is not as bad as others on Verizon, but I still have issues. I have updated to 6.0.1 and it's pushing ok, however it's only been a few hours...

I said this much earlier in the thread as well, but I am also on VZ and have never had an apsd crash in my log. Exchange push has not worked for me for more than an hour or so without stopping. My practice now is to disable cellular data whenever I am connected to WiFi, and push works just fine while on WiFi as long as I do that. I have to manually check my email periodically when on cellular data as it doesn't push when cellular data is turned on. I have also tried just disabling LTE, but that didn't help.
