I have an issue where when I add a corporate exchange account, it keeps asking me to set my pin again and again. If I lock the phone or it times out when I unlock, it gives me the security setting notification for the exchange account and wants me to set up my pw. The second issue is I have to put in a pw that's different from any of the previous.
Anyone else had this issue?
I know in my "Enhanced Email App" there is a checkbox to "Enforce Pin Lock Security Policy" I know there used to be a way to get around that, anyone know if there is anything recent as to get around the lock?
Edit: Wow, totally forgot to type in my subject. ^_^
yes - check this thread.
On Shostock 4 and StraightTalk. This is pretty annoying, been going on for quite some time, even before ST.
When it does go straight to my mailbox, it refuses to identify the stored password.
I was on Net10 for a month recently and had the same problem with the mail box. Net10 is another brand from the same company as Straight Talk. While I was on AT&T before switching to Net10, my voice mail would always connect without prompt. Then I went to Net10 for a month, and when I went back to AT&T, my voice mail still prompted me for the number. I found that there is a menu to change the settings. Apparently, this is a "so called" security feature. On AT&T I was able to disable the security feature so that my voice mail now works like it used to. I would bet that Straight Talk also has a similar configuration menu for voice mail, if you can find the instructions for it. If not, find the instructions for AT&T and maybe the prompts will be the same.

Yes, I know where it is (Phone, Settings). I just added the mailbox number to the dialing sequence, it's just annoying that you need to it.
Thanks!

I wasn't referring to using speed dial to include the password after a pause and the # symbol, but doing it that way is actually more secure. Here are the instructions for turning the password on or off on AT&T:
By default, the password requirement is on when you set up your voicemail. For your security, we don't recommend turning the password requirement off.
Here's how to turn the voicemail password feature on or off:
1.Press and hold 1 or Voicemail key to call into the voicemail system from your wireless device.
2.If you have new messages, press the * key to skip to the Main Menu, otherwise go to Step 3.
3.Press 4 for Personal Options.
4.Press 2 for Administrative Options.
5.Press 1 for Password Options.
6.Press 2 to Turn Password On or Off, and then follow the prompts.
It seems that some people can access their ST voice mail without a password, but the official word is that the 'security feature" can not be turned off. I no longer have any way to test it.

Entering the password is half the problem. Although it's annoying that it is asking for it now, my bigger issue is with entering the mailbox number. This is really inconvenient, especially when you drive and want to retrieve your messages.
In previous phones I was able to, on lock screen, input my PIN and it would go directly into the phone. Now I need to click OK. Every thing I've seen thus far tells me to go into the settings and into the PIN setup and click "Enable (or disable) confirm PIN without tapping OK". That doesn't seem to show up when I go into the PIN setting.
Also - When I go into Connections>Advanced Calling - Only HD Voice is available, not HD Voice and Video Calling. I checked my Verizon account and it's been applied to my line so I am not sure if it's something I'm missing here.
Anyone tackle these yet?
edit: I contacted Verizon via chat and they needed to activate the Video Calling on their end, even though it was active on my account already.
Hello,
I have a Huawei nova 2 plus and I forgot the pattern lock. I tried some patterns, but my cellphone tell me that "Some features are disabled for security reasons". I search in the Internet and I found that the pattern can be recovered by Gmail. I have access to my Gmail that I had set on my cellphone but the cellphone disabled the internet connection because of the incorrect pattern tries
I contacted to the Huawei for this problem, but they suggest me "Reset Factory". I have some information on my cellphone that I don't like to lost them.
How can I remove the pattern?
Thank you.
