Even i am waiting to find out about the exchange protocols. However, as the SGS1 Supported it, i am pretty sure it will be there in SGS2 as well !
Cheers!
I actually mean proper exchange support, of all required work protocols including data encription, remote wipe etc
Anyone looked into this yet please?

Thanks to all XDA members that already put all effort to xperia user. I feel very satisfy after my X10 able to be rooted,flashed,xrecovery,change to custom rom. But I think, may be X10 can do more. May all experts suggest what else can I do to maximize the xperia?thanks.

Personally I run a FTP Server on my phone, I've given a bunch of pals access to my SD Card's wallpaper/music folders. I also routinely connect to my Home PC with Wyse PocketCloud to check on my downloads, virtual machines etc. Then there's Connectbot to telnet into routers erc. for quick troubleshooting on the go.
I think i'm already using some additional capabilities, I suggest you try and look to do the same as and when required. You never know how handy having such stuff is! Except Wyse, almost all apps are free from the market - and you can use any otjher client of your choice for RDP/VNC.

So I have been searching high and low for a solution. I really need a way to either have two user profiles or dual boot roms on vibrant otherwise I will need to get a second phone so I can keep my business and personal accounts separate. If anyone can give me a solution or point me in the right direction I will extremely happy Thank you all in advance for taking time to answer my question
Maybe login to two google accounts?
Not sure if possible but worth a try

What's wrong with using both accounts on your phone? I have it that way on mine.
I can log in to both accounts that's not a problem. The issue is my new business is going to rely heavily on the use of social media like twiiter facebook and google plus and I would like to be able to update those from my phone without having to sign in and out of each service each time I want to post to my different online presence.
Have you searched apps?? Sounds like something that should exist... if not, make it and become rich
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
there are two apps I tried 1 that supports multiple rom installs called boot manager but it does not support vibrant and another that does multiple user profiles called Switchme but it does not support roms with apps 2 sd built in.
Wow thats pretty strange.. i just had a crazy idea.. prob pretty dumb too
So if youve heard about the ics encryption bug, a proposed solution is to use the ext sd as an internal memory and bypass the encrypted internal mem altogether.. maybe you can put one OS on one ext sd and another on a diff sd card?????
Lol if it does work, we may just have rough dualbooting on vibrant

I would like to be able to control my parent's mobile phones. They are not good with technology so I'm having issues walking them through how to fix various little things on their phone. They are coming to visit me soon and I'd like to install software on it that allows me to control the hardware from a remote location.
I've been doing remote control for their home PCs for years and it's saved so many headaches because I can remotely deal with it myself without any user interaction. This is what I'm looking for to control their cell phones. I'd prefer the ability to click with a mouse on areas of the screen to emulate touching it with a finger.
Both phones are identical. They are both AT&T Samsung Infuses on Froyo (I could upgrade them to GB but they really don't care. I will if it gives me more options though). Both phones are not rooted and they don't want me doing anything with that because they want their warranty.
Thanks guys!!! ...and yes I did a search there's nothing new on the topics in a while and most speak of apps that require root.
just putting this out there, any app that allows a remote user to control hardware would HAVE to have root access by its nature. Otherwise, any of your remote actions wouldnt actually do anything.

if that's the case then what's my best bet to get this done? Anotherwords what's the best remote software that doesn't require root and what would it allow me to do remotely???
goo. gl/ YgRTo
Access to basic settings, really simple stuff like turn on/off wifi/GPS/etc
Not really anything useful.

AirDroid allows users to enter passcode on web.airdroid.com, so I was confused.
You can do it without rooting now, try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you view and control your android phones from a PC. works on S2 with Jelly Bean.

work with Froyo? Main use is to control my parent's phone (Samsung Infuse) and since they're not tech savvy is it easy to setup remotely?
yes, event works with Eclair, Froyo is fully supported.
I agree with the VMLite VNC server option , works decently for me.
For Samsung phones, you can also look for TeamViewer Quick Support on the Play Store.
I'm new to using NFC and discovered that apparantly there are issues with transfering data between different platforms (android to windows) and sometimes even between different versions of Android. Has anyone come up with a way to transfer files between different platforms or does anyone have any tips and tricks to make the best use of NFC? I know NFC tags are probably the easiest answer, does anyone know of the best tags or where to buy them? Thanks!

Can you please explain what you mean by issues with transferring data? Like what kind of data? NFC is for like sending contacts to another phone by tapping them together. NFC tags are pretty cool you can program them to do all sorts of thing from enabling WIFI when you get home or disabling it when you leave. NFC isnt for sending files back and forth from phone to phone... as far as im concerned you cant use it from phone to PC.
Sorry not to be clear on that. I'm referring to transferring data such as pictures and videos between android and Windows phone 8. I've also read that some different droid phones have issues doing this as well.

I'm also curious about NFC. I've never used it before and don't see any kind of app or settings regarding NFC in the menus. How does this stuff work?
It's actually easier to use than I thought. All i did was browse to a contact or webpage and then touch another NFC phone. Once you make contact you'll see your screen change at the top to say "touch to beam" just simply tap the screen to send. That assumes that you have NFC turned on in Settings > More. Also be sure to turn on the Check box for "android beam". My problem was that I thought we could transfer pictures and video from android to windows phone but apparently we can't do that yet, only android to android for that stuff.

Ah, the Settings > More part is where I'd missed it. Thanks!
Yea its really simple android makes it super easy and all you gotta do is turn it on. Currently not too much is supported by it because it is a newer technology give it another year and more stuff will be using it

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.

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.
Me too...

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,
