Push mail not working on my Lumia 900

Push mail not working on my Lumia 900.  I am always online via wifi.  E-mail is syncing only manually.  I changed the settings to sync once mail arrives.  Still, no automatic sync.

If you are only online on Wi-Fi and unless you then insure the phone is never under lockscreen you will only have a connection when the phone is connected to a charger.

 

When locked and not connected to a charger Wi-Fi disconnects. In the store there are apps which will keep Wi-FI active,

Re: Push mail not working on my Lumia 900

Is there any option to keep the automatic sync? I was using automatic sync in my android phone even with screen lock.

Try typing WiFi alive in to the Windows Phone store search bar..

 

I mean seriously, are you really sitting around for 5 days hoping to get spoon fed?

Thanks for your reply. I tried and found an app Active Wifi. It is a paid app and i am not able to pay. By default, it is taking to a screen with country USA whereas i am in UAE. Hence, i am not able to pay.

Thanks

So you find the app in the store on your phone and pay it through your normal method of paying for apps.

 

OK, let the spoonfeeding begin;

 

  1. Press the Search searchbutton on your Lumia phone and then tap Visionvision
  2. Scan the barcode by pointing your phone at it. You can scan all three in sequence or one at a time.
  3. Tap on the link when it appears on your phone (Need help scanning?)
  4. Install the application from the Windows Phone Marketplace

 

If this option is not available to you download the app Esponce QR Reader or QR Code Reader as an alternative.

Re: Push mail not working on my Lumia 900

Thanks for your support and understanding.  Really appreciate your effort.

The problem I am facing is as follows:

I found the application in the market place and willing to pay US$0.99 for this.

When I click buy, it took me to my Live ID profile.  I am not able to make the online payment.  By default, the country is showing as USA whereas I am living outside USA.  If I provide an address, it is not accepting.

Go to https://live.xbox.com/AccountMigration and change your region to the correct one. You can also open a PayPal account and add that as a payment option in http://account.microsoft.com

 

As all these issues are related to a Microsoft service you might want to contact their support on this

Re: Push mail not working on my Lumia 900

I changed my location and added the payment method.  However, this application is not available for download in my region (United Arab Emirates).

Thanks for your support and quick responses.

I would contact the app developer on availability in your region.
