Hi folks,
Hope you can help me, which is why I registered here. As of January 7, 2013, I have an email problem in which I cannot reestablish an account via T-mobile that worked until January 7th, 2013, but does connect with WiFi.
In Email App, using T-mo, I input email and password, then select Next, wait a while while phone says "Checking incoming server settings". After a while it times out, with the message "Couldn't open connection to server".
Using WiFi, after many attempts, the phone immediately connected and established the account.
ISP is earthlink.net. Earthlink help says to use server pop.earthlink.net, port 110, no security.
Any ideas? What search terms should I use to find relevant threads to solve this?
A little history:
I own a Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1, Kernel 3.0.31, on a T-mobile contract-free sim card
My first was bought through an Amazon seller which supplied the phone from Hong Kong, which I learnt later was a big mistake. This phone was a casualty of a car charger in which the voltage regulator failed, eventually spiking the charge voltage, killing the phone.
Samsung refused to warrant in the USA, so with limited options, my second phone was purchased through Samsung warranty (long story) for ~$200.
Oh, also, I'm an electrical engineer who understands only very little about a lot of things about cell phones, but I'm willing to learn.
