Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the sprint touch pro compatible to a work account? I contacted the people that handle the work email accounts and they said my phone isn't a supported device but the blackberry is so I thought there might be a way to make it so I can get my work email. Also, how do I go about removing my hotmail account from my email, I have tried but not had luck. If this is easy, I apologize in advance but I am new to all of this.
Have you tried Blackberry Connect?
I have and I absolutely can not get it to work on Sprint.
Anyone been able to get Blackberry Connect software to work on a Sprint TP?
I have tried everything available at http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276 and several versions that are not there as well. Someone has go to be able to solve this issue...

By work e-mail are you referring to an Exchange Server? If so, all you have to do is set up the e-mail account via Active Sync (on your device, not the PC). You will need certain information such as Username, Password, Domain (Name of the server), and server address (ie webmail.yourcompany.com).
I have never tried BB Connect, but it can't hurt to try it out.
Good luck!

Some companies, like mine unfortunately, fall for the Blackberry Enterprise Server propaganda and opt to manually disable the OTA Exchange Server connection and instead force all mobile devices to connect through BES... The big problem is that Blackberry devices suck, as recognized by Blackberry, for which they created Blackberry Connect Software so that your WinMo phone can connect to BES. My problem is that Sprint will not allow me to add Blackberry Service to my WinMo phone... So I am trying to find out if anyone knows a way around this? I am sure there are some Sprint pros here.

Just ask your IT department to set you up for pop3 or IMAP.
A company that disables OTA Exchange server access and forces Blackberry would never go for IMAP or POP....

Not true, I know firsthand... Besides, it wouldn't hurt to ask them.
Can you access your Exchange server via the web? If you can access owa.<yourcompanyname>.com to get your email via a browser then you can setup Active Sync on your device.
I am using my Sprint Touch Pro to get my Exchange mail/appts/tasks. Our official policy is that only BB are supported but it doesn't necessary mean that you can't use it. What I had to do was install a couple of certs to allow syncronization but you may not need to - depending on what CA your company is using.

I do have access to owa.mycompany.com, I have grabbed the cert from this site and attempted to connect this way, however, there is no documentation out there for how to do this, so I may have done it incorrectly. Can you detail how you did this?

PM me your owa.<yourcompany>.com address (if you are not comfortable with posting it here) and I will take a look at the certs information that your company is using and walk you through it. If you can access owa site, you should be able to sync with no issues.
System SEVEN
I had the same issue, unable to connect my Sprint Touch Pro to my company Exchange server. The IT department wouldn't budge on granting me access.
I now use System SEVEN 'Out of Office' since January and haven't looked back; It works perfectly for me and syncs everything. Check it out at www.seven.com.
what do i need to do to set up my work email on my touch pro... and where do i get the correct certs from?.
bump... i still need help w/ this! anyone please?
Can you tell me what error are you getting when you set up your exchange sync?
Edit: If your error with missing certificates, then by looking at your owa site I can tell that you need to have these public certificates installed: click here to download
Download the file above, unzip it and you will see three verisign certs. Copy them onto your phone and click on each to install them. Try to sync to your server and let me know what happens.
Hi folks, need some help here... Not sure if this is the right place though
I have a company provided HTC S740 with Outlook sync to the Exchange Server at work. I also have a private Polaris currently running on the M-Anime 2.0 which I would like to use instead of the S740. Rather touchscreen than keyboard for me...
Does anybody know if it is possible to transfer the Outlook logon settings so I can port it over to the Polaris? Both phones are set up with WM 6.1. I haven't been able to find any good solution so far unfortunately. I have however managed to back up the S740 and transfer all the data onto the Polaris which worked, but it messed up the system a bit so I wasn't able to write or make any new mails/sms on the Polaris.
Any clues on what I would need to do? No, IT would not help me, already tried that
Thanks a bunch in advance!
If this post is in the wrong place go ahead and move it.
Does anyone know how to select all emails and apply read all - please tell me Samsung with all its might made this a feature available in the most powerful phone on the planet!!!
Any ideas???
Nope.... The only way you will have this is by either using the server's web mail service or a third-party App like K9.
So I'm looking for an android app that will let me upload pictures to a remote FTP server automatically, not necessarily sync with the phone but just upload the pictures and skip any that are of the same file name; this is not so hard to find.
But also (preferably in the same app) I need to be able to view the pictures on said FTP remotely and in a nice smooth way, perhaps some kind of forward buffer so that you can do a gallery.
Finally, I need to be able to view the pictures on the FTP server (and again, if in the same app - awesome!) and multi-select some of them to download back to the device.
Does anyone know if something like this exists? I want to avoid things like Picasa as I am concerned about security and I know my FTP server is in my house; not in 'the cloud'.
As a side thought:
Alternatively, I could store them on a remote FTP server where I have unlimited storage space but security is the issue here, I'd need to password protect and possible protect by using something to make sure only certain devices could access the files. But then, I need to be able to view it on my android phone; perhaps an HTML5 application could do this effectively.... I'd prefer to use an app though for viewing.
Although it is quite late, I just passed by and see that I have same problem as you before. And I use "SyncMe Wireless" to solve this problem. It's very fast (than cloud sync), and easy to use. Try it.
I got this crazy idea that I don't know is possible or not... what I want to do is set up my phone as wifi access point, then allow people to connect to it, but handle all incoming http traffic myself.
So:
Create a server (with KWS - Android web server)
client can connect to the phone
when client tries to open an http connection to any random server, this has to be intercepted by my app and handled by a local web server
Anyone knows any android app to do this ?
What you are talking about is a captive portal.
I made a simple app for this purpose. If you are a developer, I need your help to improve the app. For downloading the app and source code check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-setup-fake-captive-portal-android-t4011689
