Hello,
i configured Direct Push for my company email account.
With the first connection the keylock is set to 15 min. and is greyed (so it can't be switched off) : This is because of security regulation in the company.
The problem shows with tomtom. after 15 minutes the HD2 gets locked. So to see tomtom again i have to unlock the HD2.
Is there any registry key where to set the time?
so i can override the registry changes?
(I think i have to do this every time after connection with the mailserver, or a least when i want to use tomtom)
thanks for your help

As I use my Ameo with my work's Exchange server, I am forced to password protect the littlel beauty - this is painful as the time limit of 20 minutes is imposed. Not only do I have to regularly enter the password during my working day, but also using the gps in the car or the plane has become unworkable on a trip over 20 minutes unless I remember to press the screen regularly.
I found this (http://www.mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13030&page=2) link which details a registry hack to remove the password which I just tried and it works well until the Exchange server re-enforces the passsword (once a day). This works for gps usage as I can just re-set the registry before a journey and know it will be ok.
Don't particularly want to use it full time, as I approve of password protection, but 20 minutes is a pain. Couple of hours would sort me out.
Found also another program - IBE's Keep Alive - which seems to do something similar, but using a different approach.
If this impacts you, what option do you use and why does it work for you?

May be I've misunderstood this, I thought you could set the password entry to come on only when there is no activity for 24 hours?

Unfortunately not when it is enforced by the server - the time is set by the server admin according to the business requirements. The registry hack allows you to over-ride this, but only until the next server enforcement

I connect to my works exchange server and it give me a warning that it must enforce security policies on my device, but then it allows me to choose ANY time range...i set mine to 24 hours of inactivity and have no trouble
On that same page you link to, grab the utility by Zen (Zenyee stayunlock). This little app monitors the registry key and changes it back each time your exchange server enforces it's policy.
My work sets the password timeout to 2 frickin minutes!!! yes two!
Phone locks during calls, reading ebooks - was totally unuseable untill I found stayunlock and set it to two hours.

Hi all, i have my smartflip setup to download my e-mail every hour. Does anyone know how to get the phone to automatically disconnect the connection once its done?
i only ask cos it uses power and that it costs me money if its doing stuff online without me knowning (email is set to 5kb headers only.)
Thanks all
Hi,
GPRS is charged per kb/mb (transfer volume), not per time, so this will not blow your bill.
If you want to change, go to "Settings" (Start-Settings), "Connections", press "Menue" and choose "Advanced" -> New Screen with your connections. Choose "Internet", press "Menue", choose "Options". There you can set redial and disconnect.
Found it ?
got it thanks, the G icon is staying on anyway as it was set to disconnect after 5 mins idle. so i think its direct push mail keep the connection alive. hope it doesn't randomly send out data, except for the times i have asked.
My administrator has enabled automatic phone lock and set it to 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of inactivity, my phone locks and requires me to enter password before I can use my phone again.This is so annoying and I want to disable it. When I go under settings..security...the "Prompt for password" checkbox is checked and greyed out. I'm assuming this is being enforced via our exchange server.
Does anyone know if I can disable this via a registry setting or other hack? If not, does anyone know of application that will "fool" my phone into thinking I've pressed a key every 14 minutes, thus never allowing the phone to go the full 15 minutes and then lock?
Thanks.
Ok I found a little app that does the trick for all of you who have annoying rules forced upon you!
I've installed Lotus Traveler and IBM Endpoint Manager apps. Both are required for me to be able to get my work email on my phone. Both contain security features. I've discovered that issue in my prior thread regarding changing the clock on the lock screen (well, the lack of ability to do, so is more precise) is directly attributed to these apps (I believe that someone had a similar issue due to the security "features" of MS Exchange server, too).
My phone is currently rooted, unlocked and running TheBase 0.7.2. The only issues that I'm having is that I am having another security conflict with the lock screen. This time, it's the ability to set the timer to a value besides "immediate" (which is quite inconvenient, when you have to enter an 8byte PW that meets company standards). I can uninstall/deactivate the Traveler app and the settings are available, but once I reinstall/activate the app, the choices disappear and the setting reverts back to "immediate".
Now the truly odd parts:
1) 2 1/2-3 days after I install/activate Traveler, the time out selections reappear and I can set the timeout to values between 30 sec and 28 min.
2) The lock screen setting for a timeout that does not lock out, not requiring a password, have reverted to the default, phone settings (so I essentially have 2 different lock screen set ups, 1 for when the screen deactivation exceeds the time limit and 1 for when it doesn't).
Anyone have thoughts on how I can "fix" these oddities or is this just something that I'll have to live with? (btw... going back to stock step up is definitely not an options, I'll live with the quirks, if I have to).
I have a fairly new N2, and am currently connected to work email via exchange. I configure the exchange server as well. I currently have the policy on the server set so that you only have to type in your required pin every 20 minutes. For some reason the N2 seems to ignore this and requires a pin everytime. Anyway to force the N2 to follow the policy of only requiring the pin every 20 min, it's a pain when texting to have to type a pin in every time to answer a message.
