Do you experience some trouble after January 30th? Especially after installing a new device?
That is because Google decided to shutdown the exchange service for Google Apps. It will stay working for known devices, but any new device it will not work.
I found this out after switching from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. After the backup restoration everything worked except the email / contacts and calendar.
This is what you now need to do to make it work:
Step 1 ERASE OLD SETTINGS
- First make a backup of your device, because some data will be erased.
- Go to application Settings in your ios device.
- Delete all accounts. That will make all your contacts, calendar and email dissapear.
Step 2 ADD GMAIL ACCOUNT
- Open the application Settings on your device
- Select Mail, Contacts, Calendar
- Select Add Acoount
- Select Gmail
- Enter account settings and your all done!
- Select what to synchronise. NOTE: this does not include your contacts
Step 3 ADD CONTACTS
- Open the application Settings on your device
- Select Mail, Contacts, Calendar
- Select Add Acoount
- Select OTHER
- Select CardDAV-account
- Server: ‘google.com’ (NOTE: don’t use: m.google.com)
- Username: Full emailaddress of your Google account of Google Apps
- Password: The password of your google account
- Description: e.g. Company Contacts
- Select Next (top of screen)
- Check to see if the option Contacts is set to active.
Step 3: Go to contacts, synchronisation will begin automatically!
