Hi guys,
Just got my Mozart yesterday and trying to get it to work with my work network.
Questions as follows:
A)- Anyone managed to configure and gain access to their own private APN? - I've entered the settings into mobile network options but it doesn't see it.
B)- How is one supposed to go about installing security certificates (for the likes of exchange)?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Just been on the phone to orange
Answer to A is that these devices will only connect using CHAP authentication (instead of the PAP standard the previous WM devices used to connect with!) - Fed this back to orange as an issue.
Just need to sort out the certificates problem now!
Get yourself a 3rd party certificate from GoDaddy. only £50 for a multiple site licence for a year! Then you won't need to install your locally signed certificate
thanks for the input mate.
Orange recommended emailing the certificates to myself (The test hotmail Live account) - gunna try that first once I sort all the proxy crap out lol
B) emailing worked for me, I actually followed the instruction in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8929240&postcount=4
Yep. E-mail certificate, install. Make sure you reboot phone.
yeah that worked for me 2 - thanks guys.
I emailed the certificates to the hotmail live account and just installed them from there. Exchange then sync'd up fine.
i can't believe though that microsoft have launched WP7 without MS Office Communicator! - I tried to download it but can't find it in the app store....
Just makes me wonder how the heck we are going to deploy these devices with all these limitations.... i.e. No PAP support, no communicator, no business applications (without market place!) - means for businesses the HD2 and Touch Pro2 devices are still more suited.
I hope Microsoft don't make too many concessions for the consumer market leaving all us business users behind....heres looking forward to Chassis 2 development starting, and a decent device management solution....

Hi,
I'm trying to get the Blackberry software working with my Blue Angel. I've got the right (O2 WWE) version of the handheld software, but it appears that I still need the desktop software for most configuration.
Can somebody please either post it, or post a link to where it can be downloaded?
Thanks in advance!
Found it... but still can't make it work...
There doesn't seem to be any way (at least thru the UI) to change any of t the settings and redirect to a different service provider...
I really hope I'm not stuck until Cingular gets its act together...
I guess we'll have to wait and see
cingular has given you a SEVEN client therefore I doubt that there will be blackberry software for the SX66 unless RIM releases PPC software that they sell. the SEVEN client has NOT worked for me (dont know why, but I continue to experiment). Since Cingular has pulled the SX66 from the shelves, and they dont seem to have another PPC phone out there on the market, I doubt we will be seeing blackberry licensed software from them.
I've got the SEVEN software working...
... but it sucks.
Unless your company buys the separate corporate ("blackberry-wannabe") service, you are forced to have the client software running on a desktop PC (either behind the firewall or with VPN) or pursue a "connection sharing" approach with somebody whose PC is behind the firewall.
For someone like me, who is the only user of this device / service at my company (everybody else has blackberries), I'm screwed the second I shut my laptop down.
Other things I hate about the SEVEN software:
- You are limited to a maximum of 3 days of mail history and only 75 mail messages. As I receive typically 100+ emails a day at work, I never have everything I need with me
- Calendar Sync is a JOKE. SEVEN runs a completely separate calendar program (doesn't sync with your ActiveSync calendar). I see absolutely no reason why I should have to look at two different calendars to keep my schedule straight on my PPC. Just plain dumb approach
I would be HAPPY TO PAY FOR THE BLACKBERRY SOFTWARE... Just wish they'd give us users a freakin' chance!
< End Rant >
Hopefully someone will come out with software, either blackberry (legal) or cracked (illegal?). I tried seven, not very useful to me, I deleted it from my PDA - just took up space.
Try:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...PocketPC_TMO_Austria_Germany_Load_Working.cab
It's in German but it loads and works. I believe you need your PIN/IMEI registered in RIM's Network.

If you are *not* registered for the service via your ISP with Blackberry, even if you get it working you will be kicked. They check for IMEIs & PINs that do not correspond with registered (with them) devices & periodically (1x per month) drop those that aren't...

"If" your company has a BES server, then properly configured XDA BB will work properly
Not as good as an actual BB but instant emails is nirvana
OK. I've app unlocked my phone as per post 188 here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372717 (Thanks Erofich) and now when I try and install my server certificate I no longer get the message that my I don't have permission but I don't get the message saying it's been installed either (nothing seems to happen) and I still get a cert error when I try and sync. Any ideas?
Thanks
If you have changed the 1017 policy to 144, then it should allow it.
You dont get a confirmation message on installation though. So check settings, security, certificates, root certificates to make sure it has gone into the right place.
If its there and you get the error then the cert doesnt match the server...
Thanks. The cert is there.
It is the same cert I have been using successfully on my Ameo (where you do get a confirmation message) so I'm now stumped
Its definitely in the root certs?
I would start at the beginning and double check server name and sync settings on device.
Its definitely in the root certs.
The name on the cert is the server name I connect to and everything 'seems' fine, but I still get 0x80072F0D invalid cert.
I downloaded the cert from my certsrv and have double checked my ActiveSync settings and confirmed the server name, user name, password and domain.
Anything else I can check?
Thanks
Hmmm... as long as you are using the FQDN for the server, then there is no reason for it not to work.
I wonder if you delete the partnership and recreate it (now the certificate is installed) it might help?
Deleted the account and tried again. Still no joy. And I am using the FQDN.
I'm hopefully going to update to WM6 over the w/e so will try again then.
Thanks for your help.
Ah... I thought you might have already done the WM6 thing. It does resolve some issues like this.
I just flashed an 8500 to WM6 this week using the guides here and it went fine (as did exchange syncing).
Well...
Just upgraded to WM6 and still the same problem
Do you have access to the server itself? Or is it a work/hosted server?
If its your own server, you could try a fresh cert export (just in case yours is in the wrong format) by opening up an MMC and Add a SnapIn - Certificates, select Local Machine. In the Personal Folder, export the Root trusted cert that you are using for your SSL. Export it in the DEP x.509 cert format. Copy it to your PPC and
click on it to install it.
OK - went to server and my FQDN was in my root certs 3 times!
I exported all 3 and imported to phone and it's now happily syncing away.
Many thanks for all your help and your clear instruction s on how to export my certs. So simple even I could follow them.
Now running WM6 AKU 0.5 - pity you can't get it in English but I can understand American.
Thanks again for all your help.
Superb news.
Most people have problems with just one certificate!
That's what I like about this site - not only are people amaisingly helpful, but they seem genuinely pleased when a problem gets resolved
Thanks again
Hi folks,
sorry for being late, i think I can point you to the right direction:
As per Daniel Melanchton (german MVP for Mobile Devices), you need two certificates. One ist the cert for the server and one is the root cert. The root cert is needed for the mobile device checks also the origin of your cert (in german called "Zertifzierungstelle" e.g. Thawte). There's a perfect documentation floating around in the web, but it's only in available in german (called ex2k3_clientzugriff_1.wmv). He shows how to set up your mobile device and how to get the certs by exporting them from internet explorer using outlook web access.
Best regards,
tsfnet

Just a small correction
Daniel has never been MVP for mobile devices. He was MVP for Exchange Server and is now working for MS.
Bye
OK - so which one of you two is going to translate ex2k3_clientzugriff_1.wmv into English for us?
äääähhhhmmmmm,
i'll try to provide a pdf with screenshots and explanation if this would help. But this will take some time as i am in heavy business at the moment due to changing our erp-software at work.
He actually got it working about three days ago.

yep, i know, but it could be helpful for other users, couldn't it ?
I just love people tributing to this forum AFTER solving their problem and not just "hey, it works now, perfect, thanks and bye forever" (maybe that's too hard, i know a lot of users do contribute a lot and spend a lot of time after solving their problem).
We need to understand why it works now. Do you know the difference between a cert and a root cert ? If you know it, you don't run into the same problem. That's why i will provide a simple pdf about installing the needed certs on your mobile device for acceesing an exchange server with ssl.
up to now I used 'https://mail.domain.com' for outlook exchange mail but last week due to upgrades OWA access has been changed to 'https://mail.domain.com:12345/'. Surprisingly, when I tried to modify this on my HD2, the phone just ignores ':12345' so I cannot access mail. Can't find a solution. Anybody out there had the same problem and solved it? thanks.
Get them to change it back to 443
I can't guarantee it will work but you can make the change stick by editing the registry directly. Search your registry for mail.domain.com and add the port number there. I know it saves the data and it shows up in my Outlook Mail settings. I know it stops my mail from synching. I am not, however, going to change the port number on my exchange server to see it it will actually synch...
tks guys
cant do that xaccers.
AA, what you say sounds good. Whereabouts could that registry be? Im not so used to messing up with registries. Any info will help
Just search the registry for your mail.domain.com, it's the only entry.
just did it and now the number sticks but still wont work. I t just says 'connecting..' but does not. same as before
That's interesting. It sees the change and tries to use it but is unable to parse the difference.
For those not understanding the issue the ":12345" after the https://mail.mydomain.com is changing the port that the https protocol uses from the usual 443 to 12345. Normally, his HD2 requests service from the 443 port on his Exchange server and it works fine. His admin has changed the service port on the Exchange server to 12345 probably as a means of "hiding" his server, (security by anonymity isn't very good security btw). The unfortunate thing is the his HD2 is unaware of the ability to specify a different port in a URL so it attempts to create a connection to the literal URL instead of changing the service port in the request itself. DOH!
Sorry to tell you this mate, but it's a known issue that you can't change the port number that is used by exchange services in windows mobile. I'm guessing that you have web access with the owa.website so you're stuck with using that.
just made my day. sad to hear that.
have been searching for days now and could not find the answer, so that's it.
not even htc hotline nor my administrator, who told me that before changing the owa access they had tested with iphones and other with android and working perfectly. so now I have a brand new hd2 and have to access my mail via owa which I guess you will agree with me that is a bit messy/slow. nobody has heard of any update by changing rom or else??

I've actually got the latest official ROM on my phone and there's still no extra settings anywhere that allow you to specify a port.
thanks John and have you heard anything abt the possibility of android on this phone?

The beauty of Android is that you can dump the system apps (such as the default email app) and just download a new one from the market.
The email app that I use is the one that was supplied with HTC Sense, and that doesn't seem to have anywhere to enter a port number, but it may work with the port number specified in the server URL - I don't know.
Do some reading up and see if you can find an Android email app that allows you to use a custom port. All I can say for sure is that the one I've got on mine is at least as capable as the standard email app on WM.
Hi
I am using the Lumia 920 in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). There are numerous apps i wanna buy, but I cannot access them coz the market says its not available for your market. Is there a way around it? I really need to buy some apps I wanna use !
Nobody can help me out here? Isnt there any way I can access and install the necessary apps?

I'm not sure if this is still true (worked for WP7), but if you create a Microsoft Account and have your location as one of the other markets (say US or UK) and login to your phone using this account, you should be able to see all the apps.
Of course, it would be a pain if you're already setup since you'll have to start over with this account as your main account.
Might be worth a try.
That wont work coz I need to give a mobile number to send SMS and to activate the market

I live in Germany but I could set up an US Microsoft Account for my Lumia 920 no problem.
I didn't have to provide any mobile number and for the free apps I didn't even had to provide an US address.
But maybe it worked so hassle free for me because I set up my US account on my computer first (which is routed through an US based VPN connection) and then just logged in on the phone (which [for now] still has a German IP address since WP8 unfortunately doesn't support VPN yet) using that account I did set up before.
I even managed to add my German Visa card to my US Microsoft account so that I can now even buy payed apps in the US store no problem - that was a little bit more tricky though. If you're interested in how this can be done let me know but it might be a little risky since it involves entering an "incorrect" postal address and I can't take any responsibility of course.
Today I figured out that I can even download apps from the German store with my US account by just chancing the "Country/Region" in "language+regions" settings to Germany. I downloaded several apps this morning and they sill work after changing the country back to "United States". Haven't tried if I could buy payed apps from the German store so far though.

What is your location? Never heard of having to sending an SMS to activate store.
I am in the UAE. I believe it is coz I activated the acc on the phone. I will try to create another ms account and set the country to the US.
But before that I need to get access to a US VPN. My current VPN is UK based
Then I realised that I cannot do this yet, till Whatsapp is officially avaialble back on the market. I was one of the few lucky that downloaded on 920 and still use it daily! If I reset the phone now, I will loose whatsapp and will not be able to install it again !
Unless there are other ways...... to remove the current MS Account and activate the phone with another MS account.
Hey everyone,
This one really has me stumped. My work is finally moving it's email from Exchange to Google Apps for Business, and for many reasons at first I couldn't be happier. I signed on as an early adopter and have now realized I've hit a huge snag. I can no longer get email notifications on my device without basically giving my employer nearly full control of my personal device. They are requiring the Google Apps Device Policy and forcing a 6 character password to unlock my device, encryption, and permission to remote wipe, among other things. I just really don't feel comfortable giving them that kind of control over my personal device but I do need immediate access to my email to stay on top of things since I'm out in the field way more often than I get a chance to sit in an office. The mobile Gmail site works well enough, but not as well as IMAP support with push notifications would. When we were on Outlook, their policy was essentially similar in that you couldn't bring your own device, but I was able to find a nice app called Outlook Web Mail for Outlook OWA Web Mail which essentially logs into the webmail site and was able to present it in a mobile format and even offer notifications.
I guess what I'm looking for at this point is something similar. I'm hoping someone can suggest an app that, as far as the server is concerned, is just checking the mail from the mobile website but is presenting it to me in an app that is able to give me notifications, even if it's on an interval and not push. Does anyone know if such an app exists for Google Apps for Business accounts or is even possible?
If not, then I guess the next thing I would be looking for is a hackier workaround that can convince the server that I'm abiding by all the rules and still allow me to do whatever I want with my device. I realize this is riskier as far as getting me into trouble but I am rooted and familiar with flashing, Xposed Modules and whatnot (I was surprised my device was even approved with my root status and custom rom).
So sorry for the dissertation but I wanted to lay the whole situation out. I found other threads about GADP but they were more talking about device compatibility rather than a workaround/bypass for it. Anyone gone through something similar at their job? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Worse come to worse, the mobile site isn't the worst thing in the world considering that Outlook mess we came from. Thanks in advance.
My device:
Retail Verizon Note 3 rooted with SafeStrap running the latest Eclipse ROM
anyone?
Well is there any way to receive notifications from the mobile site? I think I recall a few years back when Google pulled sync support for iOS that some iPhone users had to do some shenanigans like this without push support and people used apps that were essentially browsers to check mail and provide notifications. Is there anything similar on Android? Or does it not exist since it's a niche concept? I just have a hard time believing I'm the only person with this problem.
If you want to just access emails, calendar, etc., try Touchdown. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid&hl=en
You will not use the gmail or google contacts/calendar app though.

That's for the reply. I'll give that a go. I've actually rigged it up so I still get notifications at this point through filters and auto forwards to my personal account. But something more native would be a lot better. Thanks again.
No further information on this thread?
I'm in the same situation with my company making the switch to google apps. They are enforcing encryption and non root'd phone. I have found that I can use IMAP to get my email, but my calendar is not found.
I have looked into just circumventing the checks....the only encryption solution i've found is some twrp/titanium back up so that you can at least easily recover systems after u've already been encrypted (not exactly a great solution).
As for the root access, ,the only solution i've found is with rootcloak (im not even sure if either of these solutions would actually work. I'm very much interested in a real solution.
Rootcloack didn't work for me, but that was 8 months ago. Try Touchdown, it's free for 30 days.
Try bluemail.

No luck for me. I appreciate the recommendation. I thought it was going to work when it went through my job's secure portal for setup but not such luck.
I'm looking for a way to do this as well.
I'm in a very similar situation and looking for the same workaround. Currently I'm able to use Edison Software's "Email" app to log in my corporate email account, but without the ability to receive notifications... which is a step better to endure the horrible mobile UI on gmail's website, but still would be better to have push notifications
Have you found any good alternative for gmail/hangouts/sheets without having to install "device policy"??

Nope. It just doesn't work on Android. They gave me an iPhone (I asked for a Pixel ) when I got a promotion last year, so now I just carry 2 phones. That said, I haven't rooted in a while so I don't know what's happening in that front anymore.
I don't think there's a way to do what I was trying to do before. Sorry folks.

I'm sorry to hear that. My educational institution's unlimited-storage Google account seems like the perfect match for this phone, but draconian MDM is a non-starter. Hopefully someone in the community does find a workaround at some point!
I have the exact same problem. I got a new personal phone which I was hoping I would be able to use Gmail and Google Classroom on for school but the device policy manager deactivates a bunch of my settings when i try it. The accounts just don't work without the policy manager, from the internet or the app. Do you think that if I were to speak to the school about it that they would be able to remove it? or is it impossible from their end due to the privileges they need over the account for security etc?
Thanks for your help,
