Ok I'm a bit lost and frustrated. I have a co-worker who just got an Incredible from Verizon running ICS 4.0.3. I have been unable to get it to connect to our exchange server. I have had this issue before with ICS as it seems to not like the SSL cert on the server. Normally I would just use the Accept all Certificates option to get around it, but this phone either doesn't have it or it is somewhere in the UI that I have not been able to find. Can anyone give me a clue? Or if it isn't a UI option, is there an alternative way to enable this function?
Regards,
Norm

That is strange. I am using my Dinc4g with my company's exchange server using SSL without any issue. There is a "requires SSL" checkbox in the manual setup screen of the exchange email account.

Yes I have that, but for some reason ICS devices have not liked the SSL cert and refuse to accept it. Usually I just have to check the other box that says 'Accept All Certificates' which forces it to accept the cert in cases where it is questionable (expired, not signed, etc), but this phone doesn't have that option. I'm sure it wasn't removed from this version of ICS, but they didn't provide the option to turn it on in the UI.
Tech code
Does anyone know the Technician Service Code? That might unlock a menu with the option I need. I've been looking around and can't find it for the LTE.

I am attaching the Mail.apk that comes with the Thunderbolt and begging someone who is up to the challenge to mod it and allow the removal of the device admin so I don't have to put in a password every 15 min. I hav.e searched and every patched Mail.apk for the desire doesn't work. I totally need this as I am sure that others will too. Your work will be legendary.
That would be so awesome.
On a side note...Why does Sense only let you sync 3 days with MS exchange? I have always synced 7 or 30 days with my other android phones.....Mytouch 3g, G2, and my Nexus 1
I don't think that it has to do with the Mail.apk as I can synk up tp thirty days. I just have to deal with the password issue. So in the mean time I am using touchdown.
Search market for lockpicker app. It bypasses the exchange policy that makes you enter your password. It's a sense thing. And this app was made for it.

Says it does not work with Froyo
The people in security at your work will hate you for this. It's there for a reason. You lose your phone and work data escapes... you can be jailed and fined (depending on the data)
I work for a company that has to be hippa compliant and mass HI-TECH compliant. We don't even allow android devices to connect because of things like the lack of device encryption.
Help please...
I accidentally deleted Mail.apk using titanium backup (idiot). I tried to install the attached mail.apk from the first post but it didn't install. Can someone please send me an apk that can be installed.
Thank you!

That is the APK from the stock rom and I did the same thing as you. But I was able to flash to a recovery that I just had made. I posted that Mail.apk directly from the stock rom and it wouldn't install for me either. The plot thickens...

It's far worse than what my employer's IT implemented...
Our Exchange policies haven't changed (I know many people at work who are setup to receive email + calendar from our corporate exchange server, nothing changed).
I only have to enter a pin ever ~30mins. Then I upgrade my Cappy to froyo and setup the exchange account again. NOW I have to re-enter it every time my screen blanks (timeout), even for 1 second.
This is froyo mail app folks, not my employer's Exchange settings. they didn't change, my email client did.
I want it back the old way. Not to mention calendar only synchs ~5% of my meetings now. crappy appy on my Cappy!
i was watching G4 earlier and they said that Android saves all of our passwords in plain text and anybody can easily access these. How threatened should we feel if we are using the custom roms such as CM7? They said that they have release 2.3.4???? not sure if thats the correct version but i believe thats what they said.
Cm7 is 2.3.4 and I'm no expert but if someone was trying to hack my phone I'd just turn off wifi or the phone.

They are reporting it inaccurately (sensationalism) or you just remembered it wrong. Either way, the actual issue is not that big of a deal. Here's a more accurate article about the problem: http://blogs.computerworld.com/18308/google_android_security_flaw
Your password is not at risk. To avoid having to resend the password itself every time your phone communicates to Google's servers (which would be a security risk), the server generates a token (a bunch of random letters and numbers basically) that your phone will send instead of the real password. The token is only valid for a number of days, so if it is compromised, there's no permanent damage being done. The issue is that this token is sometimes sent unencrypted when you are connected to a wifi network, which means it could be intercepted by someone else connected to that wifi network. However this is something Google can and will correct on their side -- i.e., no one needs to apply any software update or patch to their phone to fix the issue, as mentioned in the article I linked to.
By the way, if you log into Facebook while on public wifi on a laptop, you will be putting yourself in the exact same risk. Facebook does exactly the same thing, but the only difference is Facebook doesn't care to fix the issue.
Google addressed the issue server side and all is well again.....

Actually Cm7 is 2.3 -2.3.3 while Cm7.1 is 2.3.4.
Thanks for clearing that up I don't ever use a public wifi anyways so I wouldn't be at much risk

My Message format option for HTML or Plain text is greyed out in my exchange settings. On my Dinc running OVO community rom sense 3.0 it wasn't greyed out. I'm connecting to the same exchange 2003 server. Was the OVO mail app hacked? Is there a way to get this working on the rezound mail app? Thx

Those options are available for me and the HTML format is working. I will say that setting it up was a little different than it was for me on the Thunderbolt as it required that everything be encrypted or it would not mount my SD card. Outside of that, it has been working beautifully for me. I am not sure if that helps.

Do you know what version of exchange you are on? This didn't work prior to sense 3.0 on exchange 2003. Maybe its broken in sense 3.5..

Unfortunately, I do not know the version and I know they have been making changes over the past few weeks as my email has been up and down. I had the Thunderbolt before the Rezound (very similar phones) and I have never noticed the HTML option being greyed out. Sorry that I cannot be of more assistance.
I haven't tried it yet, but am getting ready to on my business phone, but the Amazon App Store's free app of the day today is the Enhanced Email app. It say in the description that it has support for Exchange. It is normally a $10 app so you may want to give that a try.
HTML being available supposedly depends on the version of exchange you are running. I know ours hasn't changed here, but with Nils rom on my DInc, html emails worked.... So it's something to do with the box stock version of sense I would guess.

But HTML works on my Rezound and it is running the Stock version of sense. Have you tried removing the account and the re-adding it to see if something happened during the sync?
Like I said - it has to do with the version of the exchange server IIRC. In the custom rom's i think the option was enabled. In stock rom's, it asks the exchange server for the settign. We have run a very old version of exchange for a while here now... We are doing a huge server/equipment upgrade at my workplace this weekend, so I should get the ability back anyways with any luck!!
Anyone know if there's a fix for this? I don't know if it's from the upgrade or if exchange is just #%& in ICS, but...kind of a hassle, and the whole phone hangs while it's trying to connect to my two exchange accounts...
Cheers!

Exchange support is buggy with lpb. Using a 3rd party client (I.e. enhanced email) is a good work around.

Found the problem. Seems there was some kind of error when upgrading, and the security stuff got messed up. Removed the exchange account with the most security restrictions, and suddenly mail poured into the other one. Re-added the first, and it worked.
At least you'll know if the problem's still there on the official rom
I'm currently running XXLPJ (Via Westcrip's Resurrection Remix ROM) and Exhchange Services repeatedly hangs and makes the phone unusable.
I have frozen Exchange Services using Titanium Backup and the problem stops.
My question is, I don't use any Exchange mail so it's not important to me but does anything else in ICS depend upon Exchange Services running that might cause other issues?
So I just got my Z2 yesterday and tried to set it up with my work account when I discovered that it erroneously keeps telling me that I need a password rather than a PIN lock. My device administrator requires only a PIN lock (and my M8 currently uses only a PIN lock).
I was able to somewhat get around this issue by installing the stock Google 4.4 email app and exchange service (which does work with only a PIN), but that app will not sync with my car to show my email on my navigation screen like the stock app would (and like the M8 does). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this "password" thing, which is clearly an error in Sony's software?

That's just the way it is with Sony KitKat phones. It's stupid. Just use Nine mail client instead of the stock version.

My concern is that Nine will probably not work with my car. I will give it a shot, though. Thanks for the suggestion.
By the way -- I tried Nine and it's fantastic. I might even stick with it even if it doesn't work with my car (and it probably won't) just based on the application level security. Not having a passcode is incredible. I had forgotten what that feels like.
