Hi,
I have a unrooted t-mobile samsung vibrant I got the other day. I keep getting this annoying pin after about 5 min of by phone waking up asking for a pin.
This happened when I setup my exchange corporate email.
Is there a app or a tool to turn this off?
It is a security policy on the exchange server. You can turn off the policy on the server side.

Ok. Will ask the admin thanks
There is an app/widget called no lock for you to bypass the lock screen, it even kills the swipe to unlock. I find this easier than asking the admin.

I use the following app....

And it works perfectly with our coop email, it call touchdown - search on market for it (or from their website), try out the lite version to ensure it's working, before you invest in the full app.
Hope it helps for you.

Hi everyone,
I'm a Galaxy S user but my brother has just bought a Galaxy Ace which he likes a lot except for one big problem.
I helped him configure the native email app for 2 POP3 accounts. Everythign works ok, it's set to check for emails on both acocunts every 10 minutes. But after a while it stops receiving. Even if you go in the one of the accounts and do a refresh nothing comes in.
Power off and restart the phone and email works again... for a while.
Anyone else had this problem?

Hey!
Dose it happens in home, with wifi? If yes, go to wifi settings, go advanced and look in WIFI SLEEP POLICY. Put there in NEVER. Try this, maybe it helping.
CHEERS!
Thanks casiocas,
That wouldn't really be an option as it'll just suck the power. Anyway, he's now given up and installed K9 email client which seems to be OK at the moment. Time will tell!
We like to use stock apps where possible.

Hey!
You can put it to SLEEP NEVER(its just not going to sleep, if the screen is off. I mean, if you home, but if you go out, you can turn wifi off), but you can always turn off WIFI, if you want. I just want to know dose its is in OFF mode(in wifi settings) or WHEN SCREEN IS OFF!
CHEERS!
HI all,
I'm an email admin and Android user. I'm currently using a Nexus S 4g (I know wrong forum) and I have around 20 Iphones (I know wrong forum) connected to our corporate exchange server via Active sync. I've never had any problem with connecting a recent android phone to our exchange server, until this week. This week I was handed by 3 different people a Galaxy SII to connect to our exchange server, (2007, OWA, ISA). 2 are AT&T and one is Sprint 4g (I know wrong forum ).
Every on of them does the exact same thing when configuring the account. It makes it through the account adding screens with no problem and then drops you into the inbox. The refresh bar pops up from the bottom of the screen, disappears, pops up again.... but no emails ever download. It nukes the battery within a few minutes with constant refreshes. If you power cycle the phone it will calm down a little, with the constant refreshes, but will never display email. I know it's connected to the server, sending an email from the phone works, folders sync, etc... but email never displays.
At first I looked at the number of emails and was trying to figure out what was wrong with the account but after I've had 3 in as many days do the exact same thing on 2 different carriers I'm thinking it has to be the Galaxy SII.
I've seen several other people have random problems with exchange syncing and this phone but nothing that's quite like this.
Can anyone point me in a direction to troubleshoot this phone?
You can try another Exchange app in the phone to try to see if the problem is due to software or hardware.
Also it would be great to know if the Samsung Galaxy SII you're used are stock ROM (version?), if they're rooted or if the user has modified it in some way (custom ROM?).
Samsung Galaxy S II comes with a lot of Samsung propietary apps, so I would bet that if all phones are stock, untouched, the problem might be on Samsung apps...

I have had problems with my S2 for corporate network for ages. Try TouchDown for Exchange it works flawlessly with exchange. Also a workaround is by configuring a connection/account of type Exchange (not active exchange) which works fine through an app or something and then configuring the ActiveExchange account it'll work that's how i make it work

I’m sure the refresh time would depend on your wifi settings. On that same note there is a known issue with the wifi turning off while on stand by mode. From my experience when I am using my tablet emails come up right away. When I wake up in the morning the green light is always flashing so I think when it’s in standby mode it checks intermediately. But I should mention that I have my wifi settings to never turn off. Hopefully there will be a fix on this issue with the ICS update. Good luck!
I have never had to adjust the refresh times for the gmail app. I just tested it to be sure, and I always get emails on my tablet, and phone for that matter, within seconds of them showing as received to my gmail account.
perhaps your issue is not with gmail or its app.

Hello, is there a way to keep the phone from locking while connected to my Home wifi?
Yes, Google Smart Lock will do this. It does not work consistently, so you may need to go into it, disable your address (assuming you make it location-based) and re-enable it from time to time. You can also set Smart Lock to stay unlocked when paired to a device. It won't keep your phone unlocked more than 4 hours, but that's 4 hours of not having to put in your fingerprint or PIN #.

Thanks nexus, exactly what I need.
Fingerprint scanner is very convinient, but not that much secure as PIN or password. Is there any way (preferrably for non-rooted Pixel 6) to force my phone to periodically ask for a PIN or password to unlock (once every hour or afrer X mins of inactivity or so), but still keep a fingerprint unlock on? I know I could schedule to reboot my phone, but the phone would be unavailable during reboot (no phone calls) and I think I would need some third party app to save and restore notifications (which can be lost during reboot). Any suggestions?
My aim is to prevent someone to force me to unlock my phone with a fingerprint. They could use a force to put my finger on the fingerprint scanner, but no one can get a PIN out of my head. Yeah, I'm paranoiac - there's no need to remind me ;p
In that case, best and only solution is to stop using fingerprints. Just use pin and turn on notification history.
And what about available options for this matter on rooted phones? Is there any way to force Android to lock a phone with a PIN after X minutes? I don't want to stop using fingerprint scanner completely, but at the same time I don't want it to be the only screen unlocking option. I don't believe there's no way to accomplish this.
Alternatively I came up with an idea to make a "soft reset", kinda like on older Windows OS where instead of rebooting entire OS we could simply kill and restart explorer.exe process (I used to do that after installing some software which wanted to reboot my OS before first use). Does anyone know if such thing is possible and how to make it? I guess if it would be similiar approach to the one I used on Windows (restarting some process) then I could simply schedule some script to run every hour or so, but what that script would be?
Maybe use Tasker, and set a profile that open an app every amount of time?
I always have used this "lock" app, basically lock the phone so only with the password you can unlock it.
It's free, no ads or bs.

Thanks for suggestion, I'll check that out later, but I'm quite doubtful it'll work as the app you suggested seems to override other screen lock options, so it would switch off fingerprint scanner once activated. I'll give it a try though.
There is already a built in function called 'lockdown'. I don't know if can be triggered via Tasker though.

You can keep your Pixel phone unlocked in some situations, like when your phone is in your pocket or connected to another device you use often. When you use Smart Lock, you only need to unlock once wi

Turn on lockdownImportant: Lockdown will only work until you unlock your phone. If you want keep using lockdown, turn it on each time you want to use it.
Hold the power button for a couple seconds.
Tap Lockdown. This turns off notifications, fingerprint or face recognition unlocking, and Smart Lock while on your lock screen.

Right, I forgot about it, but as you noticed - I also don't know if it could be triggered via Tasker. I think it's time to finally play with Tasker for a bit. Fingers crossed!
