Some people have better success using the Outlook App for Android.  However, please note that it does not fully integrate.  For example, contacts in Outlook App do not work with the Phone App, so inbound calls will not tie into your Outlook contacts and display the name of who’s calling.  This is why we recommend trying the native Android Account Sync.

Below you will find the instructions to connect various Android devices to Exchange server:
