[Help] Android Exchange sync not working

Having an issue with a employee who is not receiving emails at home when connected via our exchange server. He has three other accounts (Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo) which all work properly.

I believed the issue was networking since it works just fine when he is at work using 4G and WiFi but not at home. I am connected to the same exchange server via Android 4.3 while he has Android 4.0 (I might be mistaken). However he has sent me a screenshot showing him connected via 4G at home and WiFi with the perpetual syncing showing. At the very same time I have attempted to send an email to my gmail account via my work email on my phone with no problems.

So my troubleshooting is back to the phone. I do have T-mobile while he has Verizon which is the only different factor besides OS and phone type.

DNS issue perhaps? Bug in his version of Android? What other factors should I be looking into to troubleshoot this issue? I have already eliminated the exchange server as the culprit (150+ users with no problems except him and our users are quick to let us know stuff isn't working).

In the past, Verizon required an add-on for data called "Corporate E-mail". This is only for Exchange, not POP3 or iMAP accounts. This may be why e-mail is not delivering. It will allow you to add the e-mail account, do the original sync, but mail will not flow.

I am not sure if Verizon changed that, and if I remember correctly, it was $10 or $15 bucks extra a month.

Does not explain why he does not have email issues at his work without WiFi being on. However I will run that test to be sure 100%. Does the corporate email scam fee also include WiFi or do they leave that alone?

I wouldn't call it a scam per se. Is the charge high for a personal phone? Yes. The company I work for negotiated the price in the data package with Verizon. Generally when I see this issue, I automatically think that the incorrect data package has been applied to that device.

I can't answer the WiFi question for you.

It would also be helpful to list the type of device & Exchange version. Is it rooted or a custom ROM installed? There are issues with ICS and Exchange encryption from custom ROMS, similar to what you are describing as well.

I had issues with WiFi at home, can't remember what fixed it.

My LAN was 10.x.x.x, which happened to be the same thing as Verizon's private network. Even though I was on WiFi this caused issues with multiple android apps. I'd check that out.

I also had to enable push (automatic) updates. Polling didn't seem to work well for whatever reason.

I've never heard of this, sounds like they block it unless you pay. Scam, you're already paying for data.
