Seems I can not post in the correct forum (too new).
I spent several days trying to unlock my rezound via the htcdev website.
Usually late at night the htcdev website would be responsive.
Not to say I couldn't use it sometimes during the day, but at night
it was more reliably available.
When the website is overloaded it displays a message that it is under maintenance.
I would go through all the steps, and then it would say it had an error.
I contacted the htcdev support, and the email I got back basically said
Screw you, we can not help you - just follow the directions on the website.
Now here is where it got interesting.
I decided to go into my htcdev website's account and change my email address to match my google email I use with my phone.
Then I went through the steps again, and it succeeded and said it sent the email. But even after waiting hours, the email never arrived.
I tried this over and over and over and no email came.
Then I tried it again using another gmail address I have, but got the same results. It succeeded and sent me an email - an email which I never receive.
Then I went again into htcdev's website account and kept trying every email address that I have, and shezaaam (from gomer pyle) it worked - and the email arrived within seconds.
The email address that worked had no special characters, was all lower case, was two characters long before the "@" and is my personal domain name email.
Perhaps this will help others.
Regards,
Howard
P.S. What this means is htcdev's website is very buggy, and one needs to try to work around its problems.
i think HTC Dev was just having problems.. it was down not too long ago...

I jumped on the bandwagon and installed the 2.1 Leaked rom for my Droid Eris as soon as possible.
Last week my gmail accounts password was stolen. Also, my gmail account was sending out spam.
I ran a ESET32 Anti-virus security scan and found no threats. Afterwards I ran Malwarebytes and also found the same results, nothing. I changed my gmail password and all other accounts associated with my gmail.
I am a competent computer user and keep my Windows 7 64bit install clean, tidy, and updated. I use Google Chrome to browse the web carefully and I only visit websites I trust. Although it is very possible, I find it highly unlikely that my system was infiltrated.
I assumed I screwed up somewhere and my desktop was hacked.
Heres where the interesting part starts, Although I changed my password around a week ago, apon logging into Gmail today I was notified about my account being accessed on June 3 (3 days ago) from 6 different Chinese Ip's. I changed my password and security question today and closed all of the email sessions located in China.
My system shows 0 threats after running ESET ENOD32 Anti-Virus and Malwarebytes.
I don't have any other device that stores my Email password besides my Droid Eris.
I could be stepping out onto a limb here, but I still have to enter my Gmail password everytime upon opening the Android Market. I know this has been listed as a bug before. Also, I can't enter my password to enter the Market unless my 3G AND GPS is turned on. It does not work if the GPS is off.
Could it be possible that everytime I enter my GMAIL password into the Market app, it sends a copy out to China?
Why does my GPS have to be turned on to accept my password?
Is the "leaker" from china who released the 2.1 ROM to XDA a trusted source?
Help me out guys!
update to the latest leak and you wont be having these problems

The leak, although it appeared to come from riverrunner, actually was leaked by one of the devs that has put in a lot of work in making the eris awesome.
Like Royel said, update to the latest version of the leak and you shouldn't have any of the password login problems.
Not sure about the gmail problems, but I've been running all the leaked versions and had no problems so far.
This post prompted me to check on my account also
Confirmed, IP in China has been logging into my gmail account also.

Where do you find out how to check.
Log in to Gmail, scroll all the way to the bottom. It will show which IP you last logged in from. Next to it is a link, I think it says "details". A window will pop up showing you all IP addresses that your account has been logged in from.

I am a new user, so I can't post links to the how to. Basically log in to gmail, click on settings, scroll down to the bottom where it shows how much storage you are using, just below that in tiny print is "last account activity", click on details.
I just checked the details on my account and I am getting no logins from China, or anywhere that isn't me.
Just a thought, but have you checked to see if it's the same IP address each time? If so, you may be getting a weird IP address from VZW that google is geo-locating to be from China even if it isn't.
Unless we start getting a lot more people confirming this, I would say it is probably not an issue with the leaked rom but more likely something else (virus on your computer, an app that logs into google accounts for you).
wow, weird. i've often checked my "last account activity."
i'll randomly get some logins (all mobile logins) from another state (Michigan... right next door to me). i imagine it's just due to the IP that i'm getting on my phone...
now, i've NEVER seen anything from China before... and i've run just about all the leaked ROMs out there
strange indeed... i'm assuming all the "china" IP's were mobile logins?
I just checked mine and I had multiple logins from two different IPs. The ones from a desktop were my IP (in Oklahoma) and all of the ones from a mobile device were from a Florida IP. I logged off all of the other accounts and changed the password to a long string of letters and numbers, then logged in on both my desktop and my phone. After that the same two IPs were logged in, so apparently my verizon IP is somewhere in Florida.
I'm not sure why they would use an IP in china, but it could be a similar thing happening to you guys.
While blocks of IP addresses are allocated regionally (hence the different IP registries such as ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC, this happens at very small prefixes (huge blocks of IP addresses).
Geo-location of an IP address is imprecise for a wide variety of reasons. (Despite what you see on popular "crimefighter" TV shows). An AS (BGP Autonomous System) can emit packets from multiple points within their network, depending on instantaneous routing conditions; this is especially true for large national carriers such as Comcast, Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, etc.
One thing that no-one mentioned here is that every one of the Leak ROMs were cryptographically signed by somebody at HTC. If there is malicious code in the ROM, it came from HTC. Seems kind of unlikely. Feasible, but still seems unlikely.

Leak isn't sending out passwords. In fact, if i remember right your pass isn't stored on the phone, a key is.
Virus scan won't catch everything, especially new things.
1) Do any OS upgrade on your PCs, I recommend for non techies http://tinyurl.com/m7r5h or for techies http://tinyurl.com/mkly.
2) change all your passwords
3) dont cross use passwords
4) choose complex passwords >10char in length.

2nd to that, also Another great one for techie http://www.archlinux.org only if you like getting ur hand dirty and learn more about how Linux work from ground up, less hassle than doing Linux from Scratch lol, although it's fun, very rewarding experience and it'll come in handy when you want to do ROM cooking since it's based on Linux.
Hi everybody,
I did just purchased a Galaxy S2 I9100... A month ago or so.
And I can remember me to have sign up to a Samsung Account, as asked when I first started the device or maybe as I tried SamsungApp.
But I forgot my Password and I don't remember it asked me for a username...
And I didn't get any email as confirmation or so... !!! And that really weird... I find.
I have my phone, my email adress, and every thing, but just this username is missing and this damn password... I even still know the date on which I registered !!!
I though they would be some recover password functionnality somewhere...
But firstly I wasn't able to find any mention of a Samsung Account on my phone, except in the "Accout and Sync" part of the settings, which doesn't help me much as it does just confirmed that I once created a Samsung account
So, did you know some workaround to get my username back ? or maybe where I can find a password recovery function ?
I tried it with this homepage : innovator.samsungmobile.com but it just said me that my "email adress was already in the system" and that if I wanna get my password back, I need to give my username...
So what could I possibly do ?
I would be pleased to be able to log somewhere directly from my phone, as this account is actually registered in the phone... Somewhere where I could see my username would be the best...
And please don't say me "erease your samsung account and create a new one" because I don't want to be registered anywhere without having access to my profile with this email address !!! It's important for me to have control over this one...
And could also somebody explains me why we need such an account ???
Sorry for my bad english, I'm a French-speaking personne.
Username = the e-mail address, as far as i know.
I believe you got the confirmation mail in your gmail inbox. Go ahead and check that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Well, I'm sure it's not the case : I have double checked and I didn't get any email at all !!! That's unbelivable, but it's maybe gone to the spam, and as I didn't checked it for a month at least, it must have been deleted... Anyway, nothing samsung's related, either in my gmail inbox, nor in the spam...
Any other tips ?
PS : username must be between 4 and 12 char... and my email adresse is bigger as that ^^' I've try it, cutting the 13,14 and 15th char, but it didn't work
Strange, if i wanna log into Samsung Apps it definetely says e-mail and password, nothing about a username. Don't know what username you are talking about Try logging in from your pc and see for yourself: http://www.samsungapps.com/
OMG, I'm really silly ! I did obviously give a false birthday to samsung, ( because I don't like to give any information about me to anyone...) But I did it in such an hurry, wanting to use my phone, that I forgot which false birthday I gave... And I didn't give the same as I normally do...I'm cursed, no way to explain how I was able firstly to forget my password and now the birthday I gave... well, I was certainly too happy top get my phone, I did everything in a hurry and forgot it directly, first timer it happen to me. well I guess I don't really need to have those login as my phone has it in its memory and if I do a reset or flash some new rom, I well still be able to create a new account...but it's quite disturbing, I find : I know I have an account, my phone is linked with it, but I'm unable to access my account xD
Btw, it has been little over one hour that I began surfing on the web using my phone through my wifi network and it's (the phone)now under 35% of remaining battery and the back it's really really hot... It's abnormal, isn't it ?
SGH-i777 running CM 7.1.0 on Android 2.3.7. Carrier is obviously AT&T.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to add my Exchange account to the stock e-mail program. I've tried:
* Countless variations of server, domain, and username settings. I've followed this guide **can't post link** and several other guides. I do have access to my company's server information, and while I'm not sure which server is actually being used, I've tried them *all*, several times, and gotten nowhere. With a WiFI connection (no firewall) and just 3G data, signed in or signed out of Outlook Anywhere. No luck, just "Unable to open connection to server".
* K-9 connected to my account, but I was unable to see any e-mails - none would load, even when I had it force check. So I uninstalled it (would rather use the stock app anyway).
Is this a problem with my signal? I read that someone got help from their carrier - they made a custom APN, but that was in another country so I'm a bit skeptical. Can't call Samsung (it's Sunday) and their website offers no help. It's possible my IT doesn't allow phones to read mail, but that's highly unlikely - we've got lots of employees in the field, so this seems like common sense.
I did a lot of digging and this might be an old issue, but it gets pretty technical and I'm obviously a n00b.
What am I missing here???? PLEASE fill me in - I've put hours into this!!
It's quite possible that your IT group who manages your Exchange environment isn't allowing non-approved devices to connect. Typically these are security-certificate based and/or mandatory VPN requirements. I would suggest asking your Exchange administrator in your IT department about this policy.
Under Domain/username, did you try putting the "\" in front of your username? To configure mine I did this and had to use the host name as the Exchange server. Some things to try anyway if you haven't already.
Also ran into issues setting up under a public wifi at work, had to use the ATT network to make it connect for some reason.
I have my work exchange account set up.
Are you making sure to connect to the external exchange server (sometimes different from internal)?
Have you asked your administrator for exchange login details (my IT dept sent out a company-wide email once with those details)?
You might have to type the server name in manually if it doesn't auto-detect (the case with my work email).
Now, my work isn't as strict, but as the previous poster said; you're exchange server might not allow unauthorized devices to connect. In which case you'll have to contact your IT dept.
They may have simply blocked all android devices (until recently didn't support hardware encryption, and spoofed exchange permissions). If that's true, educate them.
The server name may be a link rather than a server name. Ours is mibile.XXXXX.com for example.
probably related to your company's settings. I run my own exchange server and got it sync'd fine with the current cyanogen nightly
I had problems with the stock email and our ms exchange server. I could set it up, but after a while it stopped syncing and I could never really get it back to work. I switched to Touchdown, and after a little trial and error with setup, it's working fine for me. There is a trial version for 30 days or so that you could give a shot. Happy to give you some pointers.

+1 for touchdown. I've been using it for about a year. It's far superior to any exchange solution the Google offers. I only wish it would populate Google calendar as it does the Google contacts. The UI is getting dated as well. I wish they would come out with a cosmetic update or theme capability.

Hi guys,
My brother pricked up a galaxy s 2 yesterday for a new job he has and he needs email on the go - he's not at all familiar with technology so has been slow to get a smartphone but now has no choice. I have a nexus myself so am familiar enough with setting them up. Have managed to add his email account via the built in email app and email sends and receives fine. What it is not doing though is either suggesting an email address when you put in the first few letters or remembering an email address that i have just sent to. I downloaded the gmail app and added a new account to test it on this. Same problem whereby it is not remembering the email address that i have just sent to. I would appreciate any help as he is flying back to Brussels later and needs this for his new job
Many thanks

I don't have this, too.
So only way to get this work is creating a contact.
It will fill up when start writing.
Also u can try other email application (like K9) but I don't think that it is working...
So maybe ur brother create a Contact named f.ex. "JOB" and in this contact he add all the important email adresses... (just an idea)
Hope I helped.
CHEERS
Hey thanks for the reply - i just switched him over to gmail altogether as i couldnt get the other apps to work at all. I know he'll have to type the email address at least once before its saved even in gmail but i think the app is better than the stock one.
Cheers
Greetings,
while staying in a hotel in Mexico last year, I tried to use my G+ to share some photos with friends and family.
I was able to use my phone quiet normal, meaning it was possible to send emails (including using the gmail-account), browse websites and use WhatsApp and Skype.
But when I tried to use G+, I was prevented from logging in. Instead I received an email (ironically from my gmail account) saying someone would have tried to hack my account and I should log in to check, if everything would be okay.
Just, I was not able to log in, neither using the G+ app nor using the web login with the browser.
After I got back home, I could log in normally and I was asked if I want to continue using my account from Mexico in the future. I said yes and was asked to log in from Mexico within 10 Minutes, what was unfortunately not possible from the other side of the world.
I would like to prevent that from happening again, so my questions would be, if someone had similar problems and what needs to be done to get access from everywhere, including from a hotels wifi in a foreign country.
Thanks,
Ferdi
