Credential Storage - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have to use the credential storage for my university's wifi, it ask me to set a password or a gesture, or something to protect it
ok done... but it's annoying because on my tablet (nexus 7 4.2) i can't use an "unprotected"" lockscreen if those credentials are installed
it's possible to use those credentials without set that password?
thank you

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S 2 Exchange sync

I am having a nightmare of a time with the new Samsung Galaxy S 2, on AT&T. Initially it would not connect to Exchange 2010 using the built in account connector. A week later that now works, having changed nothing on my end. Now it connects OK, but will only allow me to set up a complex password on the device to unlock it [no PIN / swipe etc.] despite using the same policy as everyone else. On another Android I have [Atrix 4G] I can use the finger print reader, pin code & swipe pattern and switch between them fine. Our older WinMo 6.5 phones are working fine with pin numbers only. I am using the same Active Sync policy. The phone is set to lock after 10 minutes of inactivity, and I don’t want to leave it much longer than that if I can avoid it.
Ultimately I need to be able to set it up to do the swipe pattern, or at least the PIN number, some of our users need to make phone calls in the car & a complex password is not going to fly. I need the phone to sync with exchange for email, contacts, calendar & tasks, as well as the security features like full encryption & remote wipe [a must] and the recover lost password & failed logins functionality.
Any recommendations?
More Info
I created a separate Exchange ActiveSync policy. Enabled AN passwords and allow simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sysnc'd. Both were required to enter complex passwords. On the GS2 the only option was the complex password. On the Atrix the only options were the complex password & the fingerprint reader [though a complex password was required as the backup in case fingerprint was not available].
Removed requirement for AN password, still allowing simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Now the Atrix will allow for a PIN, password & fingerprint. The SG2 will still only allow for a password.
Removed requirement for AN password and removed simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Atrix will still allow for a PIN, password & fingerprint. The SG2 will still only allow for a password.
Removed password requirement completely [no Encryption or anything]. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Now both devices will allow for a PIN, password & nothing as well as the fingerprint on the atrix.
Turned encryption & simple password back on & now it requires a password on GS2, pin, password or fingerprint on the Atrix.
It seams that to enable encryption on the galaxy s 2 you must also use a complex password. :-(
any ideas how to get around this?

Credential Storage

I've searched around for an answer to this question, but I can't seem to find anything.
My office uses secured 802.1x wireless. When I try and connect, I get a message saying "You must set a lock screen PIN or password before you can use credential storage". Is there a way around this? I really don't want to set a PIN or password on my phone...
Set it, set up your connection, then change your lock back to None. It only needs the lock when it's initially creating the store. You can remove the screen lock once your credential store is set up.
Awesome. I figured it would be something simple.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This didn't work for me, it asks me to create a code (pattern, pin or password) if I want to create, for example, a VPN connection.
Then, lockscreen requires my code to unlock, and it doesn't allow me to change lock back to none because, it says, it's protected under a credential storage.
If I clear my credential storage it clears my saved connections. This was not an issue on stock and on

Lockscreen password due to VPN profile

Hey...
I was trying out some of the new functions in jelly bean on my Ace 2 and I stumbled over the VPN settings where I was prompted to define a password in order to enable the function. I had no idea what it was exactly, just wanted to try it out. Anyway, now the aforementioned password seems to be set as a lock screen password for some reason and I can't make it go away because in the VPN settings there are no profiles listed that I could edit or delete.....
How do I get rid of the password again?

Sync saved Wi-Fi networks on android is not consistent and safe

On the most of the android phones by default, informing the user all the saved WiFi password it will be sync with your google account. In case of change the phone or reset the phone, user are able retrieve them by input the g-mail user and password and bring back the saved WiFi network on the android device.
Most of the time this feature, it is work fine but not always.
It happen for me recently! I just saw all my saved network has been disappear, I try all possible option (safe-mode/ set account on a new phone/ restore my phone/ contact google support 2 times)
Even the google support can't figure it out how it been erased
Google final answer it was "it might was some technical issue while synchronizing with the cloud"
I try to put some of the WiFi pass again, but even after it there is no options on the android or google dashboard to see the new WiFi pass has been sync or not.
Basically the information about WiFi password it has been collected from user but there is not any report to the end user about it!
The password is should reachable again same as the saved password in the google chrome or the history of location/search in all other services...
but
1- The SSID/pass is not retrievable from google account.
2- In Google dashboard is not show at least like names of the saved network.
3- Google is not even tell the user number of the saved WiFi network.
It should be a way to monitor this sync process and make sure it's working in proper way!
is there any way to monitor this sync process?

How to permanente disable Hotspot/Thetering Wi-Fi on Android?

Hi! Even if I put a password to lock the settings and prevent access to the way to share the Internet via Wi-Fi, someone always gets the password from someone else who knows. I need to disable this function permanently. I have root access. These are company phones with Android 10 and 11.
