[Q] Name change for exchange - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i'm having problem in syncing my S2 with corporate exchange server. As they're not permitting android yet it's being filtered out by name/type of device. I was trying to use touchdown (with option exchange 2003) but still it's sending details about phone model and version. Is there any way to fake information sent to exchange server (ie to say I'm windows mobile 6.5, htc touch hd)?
2nd question - is there any software which will allow me to use active sync (like i did on windows mobile) instead of exchange 2003 option?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
MCC

Can you use Verizon's sync server with DCD's Custom ROM?

The way my XV-6800 is set up is that I'm using the new stock Verizon Rom on my device (upgraded from 6.0) and I get my e-mail pushed through Verizon's Wireless Sync service everytime I get an e-mail on this account (personal Yahoo account).
I've been having issues with this device and I'm swapping this unit tomorrow so I'll be back to 6.0 again.
I'm thinking of running DCD's Rom instead but need to know if I can get my e-mail through Verizon's Wireless Sync like I do now. Is this something that is added when the Verizon's customizations run or is it provisioned for in DCD's Rom?
Thanks!
Are you using activesync to sync your yahoo account (IMAP or POP) or are you using that Verizon VZW sync program on your phone? If you are using the VZW program you will either need to find it on the CD and reinstall it to the phone after you upgrade to DCD. If you are using activesync then there will be no change to what you do now.
all you need is the wireless sync software. Theres some website you go to on your phone to get the wireless sync software but i forget the site. it's an offical vzw site though
VZW wireless sync sw can be found here:
http://ota.wsync.com/
I suggest using the UC script to install with any other customizations. That's the way I do it anyway. GL.
Why would you use VZW's software to sync your yahoo account? just put it in outlook mobile and connect that way
you can use it to save your contacts and everything else and access them off wirelesssync.com i used to use it before i switched to their 29.99 plan and started using my works exchange server
I need to do this
I need to set this up again, my company has their exchange server set-up to push down a requirement of a strong password on a non corporate PPC that is set to lock down the phone after 15 minutes. The pass has to be at least 7 characters and contain one each of upper case, lower case, number and special character ([email protected]$%). It's a pain, I need to re-flash anyway to get my com manager back. No time like the present. Think I might try a PPCGeeks kitchen, just to see if it's any good.
Activesync caches the password if you tell it to, so why would you care if its 7 character alphanumeric with special chars?

MS Exchange problems

Got a strange problem with my new T-Mobile G2 (HTC Hero) ...
If I try setting up & syncing my Exchange email I get all sorts of error messages ranging from username/password incorrect (when I know it isn't) to a long winded one "Your Microsoft Exchange Server account does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your Exchange Server administrator" ...
Previously the same Exchange server (2010) was used to sync email via the MS Exchange application on an iPhone and also a XDA.
I'm guessing there is a bug or anomaly with the Exchange application on the T-Mobile rom (it incidentally came shipped with the latest 2.73.110.26 October rom) as I downloaded and successfully set-up/synced my email using the TouchDown v4.0.0008 application - and also using another Exchange application (Contacts Sync) from Wryke.
I've spoken to the Server admin, who has done what he can, but he's thinking (as I am) that there is a problem with the built in app ...
Oh, and am I right in thinking that because it has come shipped with the latest (2.73.110.26) rom then I can't flash a custom rom at this time ?
Anyone have any suggestions ?
Cheers

I had the same issue yesterday when I forgot to check the box "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection". I've never had to check this box before when we ran Exchange 2007 but we moved to Exchanged 2010 yesterday just before a reset the exchange account on my Hero.
Give it a try, it may work

exchange 2010 + htc hero - which settings ?
I was wondering, which settings do you have on your exchange 2010 server ?
On exchange 2003 it worked flawlessly (almost), but on exchange 2010 I keep getting the "failed to create account..".
Initial login seems to work fine, but after selecting what to sync it fails.
I dont have a paid SSL certificate, only a self-signed one, but I dont imagine that causing too many problems (or am I wrong?).
Any help appreciated
Hello,
Does anyone know what to change to resolve this? I still have this issue whether or not the SSL box is checked.
If you are using an internal certificate, try copying certificate to SD and installing, also if you are still running hero 1.5 you must make sure exchange 2010 servers mobile settings are configured to allow "unsupported devices" you may also have to disable password policy just for your phone on the server
I know this is a really old thread, but you might try checking to see if your password is about to expire. In my case I got this error and it was because my password was about to expire (the Windows AD notifies you when you log into a Windows PC on the AD domain). Once I changed my password everything started working again. I guess this is technically a bug with Android because Android should be able to tell you that instead of saying that you're unauthorized.

(REQ) getting my work exchange email without using activesync on my WM device

i have a TP2. our work email is only set up for Blackberry, not Exchange + activesync (they dont have the server for this or Outlook Web Access). i use Blackberry Connect (BBC) on my TP2, but its generally an unpleasant experience. In addition, i want to switch to an HD2 and apparantly BBC doesnt work on that device according the the forum.
Q: is there any third party softwares that will allow me to access my work exchange email, and that i can just add it as another account on my device? in other words, the same experience as using activesync (which doesnt work)?

[Q] E-Mail Sync with Windows Live not working

Hi guys
I have a problem with synchronizing my mails on my HD2.
I use a live.de-account for collecting all my mails from different providers - so far it works.
But then I wanted to sync those mails on my device. I was a bit suprised that the windows live program always showed up and took over the mail-setup from the inbuild-mailclient in windows mobile to itself.
The first synchronization worked but that was last week -.-.
The windows live program seems connected to the internet and my accountsettings are working (it can show my firstname) but when I want to sync it an error occured "e-mail login failed.please try it later".
I'm not so into this technique but I tried deleting and re-installing/configuring the mail setup. I downloaded the windows live software again (from market place).
I even wrote a support mail to windows but the answers was pretty much the same as in this thread.
As far as I understand the manual it's just synchronizing with outlook on my computer.
But I don't want a) Outlook and b)active-sync (= usb connection to my own computer).
I want a synchronization on the move with wlan or umts but nothing seems to work.
So actually I'm looking for a trick to configure my mail account without windows live software or some help to get it working with the windows live software.
my HD2:
unbranded original
latest official rom-version from htc ( Germany: 3.14.407.2)
Vodafone Germany
windows live software 10.7.0059.0600.1000

The thread there is correct. Which method are you really using? Do you set up hotmail as an exchange server as in the thread, or are you using the live client?
Sorry,but I'm not so into this.
Exchange Server?
In HTC Sense is a mail program and I use that.But when I want to configure a new account it automatically redirects my to windows live. I think windows live intercepts the setup and overtakes it because of the @live.de -ending. If i use other providers - everythings working fine without windows live.

There are two ways to connect to hotmail (aka live mail). The old method is to use the Live mobile, an application that allows you to access several live features. You get mails when you check mail, like POP3. The new method (I think it was released last year) is to use push mail. Configure it as it you have an exchange server, and set the parameters according to the link. New mails will immediately appear on your mobile. Both method should work. With push mail, you don't need to install the live mobile application and you don't need to explicitly check mail.
Ah.
alright,it's working...
sorry but I don't saw any connection between push mail and exchange server..
Ok,now I could deinstall windows live?
It's not necessary any more,right?

Correct. If you are setting up push mail (it uses Exchange Sync protocol so that's why you configure hotmail as exchange), then you no longer needs the Live client (unless you want other features, such as Messenger).
Hi Raizm and Alex,
OK ! The pushmail settings worked perfect for my with HD2 > Outlook > Hotmail settings. (with link settings) THANKS !! I tested this with a kind of 'Spam hotmail account' NOW i have a problem. I cannot change my spam hotmail adres to my real one. It is greyed-out in the settings ?!!! Also tried new account in windows live messenger but alas, still no change (possible) in my userID field....
Thanks very much in advance !!!
Peter
YESSSS FOUND IT, PFFFF
This is a tricky one. You have to go to the activeync !!! (Default Windows menu >> Extra)
There Menu > Options and then delete "Microsoft Exchange Items" with delete button.
THEN you can create a new Exchange account within outlook.
Thought I let you all know.
Thanks anyway

[Q] exchange problem

i have a problem connecting my tab to the company server, i can't use the e-mail through the exchange, i put the same parameters like my HTC mobile but nothing work, it always said the server need to change my security setting and nothing happened after that.... any help
as an exchange admin, i know there could be a ton to this. they could limit it to client certs, could be limits on your number of devices activated,or just wrong settings or ssl certs. its a loaded question unfortunately.
it was from the application equipped with the tab
the problem solved by installing the Touchdown HD for Tab... it is working fine now and I can get my mails, contacts and calender... It is so obvious, the problem coming from the exchange application coming with the Tab and i hope Samsung can come over this problem soon...
Free app on amazon appstore today is an email client (enhanced email) that allows exchange... just a few hours left, though...
