I was perfectly happy with POP. so can I uninstall it and then forget it exists, or have I now opened a door that cant be shut? when the install was done and I noticed it changed my home screen, I almost had an anurism and heart attack simultaneously. I hate annoying programs that try to take everything over. make it go away

No it does not have wifi. any yes it changes you home screen. you can change it back under your home screen settings. also to remove the program under settings choose remove program. Wireless sync is used for email/ outlook on your desktop PC or laptop.

can wireless sync be set to just sync contacts, appointments and tasks...but no E-mail?

I just want to be able to get my emails in real time from my universities webmail that is set up...I don't understand how to do this the tech support gave me directions for wireless sync...but i feel like i never get emails until i go and click sync even though I have the push feature enabled...also if there are attachments it doesn't let me download them until the next time my phone checks email...the minimum is 20 mins.

Can someone explain all this email is the only thing i have no idea about on this phone the moto q 9m

OK....so this is going to take a little while...and if I miss questions just reask them and I will address them since I hadn't really noticed this thread until just now (odd since I waste so much time on here )


Wireless Sync is a program that VZW has designed to allow your handheld device to act more like a desktop and save you time and money. The server is setup to check email every 15 minutes. No matter when your email hits your address WS checks @ 15 minutes. When you send it does have a real time send but you must still wait until that 15 mins goes by. There is a charge for this service unless you are not on an "Advanced Device" since the app comes installed.

The only charge you accrue is the data charge unless you have a data plan..then it is free.

The program allows you to customize completely what you do...and do not want to sync. This is done by:
Start Menu
Wireless Sync
Settings
What to Sync
...and then scroll up and down and select the upper right Settings tab

The program used to allow you to set up to automatically download attachments when I was using it about 4-5 months ago...now it seems that you have to click download on the next sync. If I can find a way around this I will post it. You can choose whether or not to PUSH on the device, this can also be done with the next few steps and you can choose what and what not to sync...
wirelesssync.vzw.com
Login
Click top right Settings tab
...On drop down menu click Push and adjust the settings.

There is sometimes a problem where you are STILL not able to sync there are instuctions that I put in another thread that you can look through and attempt.

You can use 3 different ways to sync. First is called the Corporate Exchange Server which will change you to a different program called GoodLink. This is a service that is just as fast as Blackberrys and is at your fingertips in seconds. It has the same per month charge, but I have very little dealings with it and I find it more cumbersome to use. The next is with Wireless Sync. You can either have the Outlook Exchange Server do it like I saw mentioned above for someone's work or have the VZW wireless sync server check. OES will have to have a computer that is connected online though 24/7. The WS server will just check for you every 15 minutes (the most popular). You can have =8= POP email accts setup in WS and can have =3= Corporate. These are either or and once you hit the limit you have to delete old. Adding and deleting can be done by...
wirelesssync.vzw.com
Login
Upper right SETUP tab
...Accounts on drop down menu
Then in middle of screen add/remove emails


I think this answers everyone's questions...sorry it was long but I was hoping to cover everyone's in one shot. If I left something out please let me know.

what does push mean i still do not understand that... Also you keep saying 15 mins, the lowest amount of time for me is 20 mins I don't know if it differs between Q and Q 9m i'm talking about a 9m though.

Push=a server "pushing" the email down to the device and making a data connection without you saying yes connect.

Basically you say yes once and then the server that checks your email does it all automatically.

Wireless Sync is 15 minutes. The server the WS uses checks the email accounts you have added to it every 15 minutes. If something is there then it will PUSH it to your device. That make sense?

Wireless Sync works on a lot of handsets so it doesn't matter if it is Q or Q9m. The only one that is greater is a non-advanced device i.e. an En-V.

Push box.

Timed interval will just check at a time you designate, i.e. you only wanna check once a day or every 4 hours.

Push means that it will get the email to you as soon as it is allowed.

there's no chance of going over the unlimited (5GB) vzw data plan by doing push is there?

I was reading a horror story on another thread about it using a ton of data to constantly check email or something.
