[Q] Omega ROM | Lockscreen + Exchange fail - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed the Omega v36 and have configured my exchange account for my mail. When i did i couldn't disable the lockscreen anymore.
Normally if my exchange account wasn't configured i could go to the menu and click the "Lock Switcher" icon to disable/enable the lockscreen. But at the moment i can not do that anymore because i just exchange. Is there any solution to fix this.

Hmm, It's wierd, I have same as you but all works fine...
Try to change that in settings and not in slide panel.
Greetings!

Not really, the mail client has been changed.
There were some issues when you add your microsoft exchange account in your mail client, the server could force you to make a pin code as lockscreen.
Later on a hacker fixed this and made it possible to take a pattern.
Later on Omega used this hack and made there own lockscreen in the menu to enable /disable the lockscreen. But at this moment this lockscreen function doesnt over rule the mail client.

Where can i find the settings?
PS: I tried and searched. The only thing to choose is password or pin. I cant disable....

I've have similar problems not only with omega but Ultima and even latest Samsung OTA over KIES.
When try to configure my exchange it tells me: Security update required and push me to set up lockscreen by pin or password. Even id I did this still cant connect and cant receive any mail

Pattern lock question

Hi,
I want to try pattern lock but afraid to do so because of so many complaints here of lockout.
1) how will I know which email address will be used if I lock myself.
2) will I lose data if it gets locked
3) how can I change password reset email address

it will use the same email that you are getting your contacts from. Or the same one you used to sign into the market. OR the same one that when you click on the Gmail app......OR if you still can't figure out which one it is...from the home screen, click menu->settings->accounts and sync, look for the account with the "g"
2) will I lose data if it gets locked
Click to expand...

no, after trying 5 times you can click on the "forgot pattern?" button, it will ask you to put in your email address and password. once you enter that in, it will ask you to create a pattern, once done, you are in your phone.
3) how can I change password reset email address

huh? to change the password for that email, go to gmail, login, its in the settings somewhere.
ok...you made me look stupid...lol
thanks
Actually a lot of people cannot verify their gmail account info via the phone so if that happens to you you will have to do a master reset and wipe the phone clean through recovery.
Try your initial email and password (if you have changed passwords on gmail since you first signed into the phone), might work. Seems the verification does not work with your actual account online, your email handle and password may be stored on the phone and thats what may be used for verification

What are the exact settings for your yahoo account?
I do not mean your email and password ... that should be on your side only.
I mean server, port, protocol, etc.
Did you configured it as premium (IMAP) or POP3 or Microsoft Exchange Active Synch?
Which security type have you selected (no, SSL, TLS, ...)?
You can specify all this settings in manual config.
I think that Yahoo only supports POP3 (pop.mail.yahoo.com) for incoming and SMTP (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) for outgoing mails.
But I am not sure as I do not have a Yahoo mail account.
If your Yahoo mail synchronization worked before, you have enabled SMTP already at Yahoo for your account.
But what happened that this does not work any more?
Have you changed a special setting, another account, firmware, installed or un-installed an app?
Sometimes it is helpful to wipe the cache in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power).
Good luck !
Yes i updated my firmware frm 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 last week and actualy never used my yahoo after that so do know when it started today i tried to mail but it gave error sending failed not a secure conection so i deleted the acount and tried to setup up again now its just not seting up giving me error i mentioned before i tried all settings imap pop3 ticked accept all ssl certificate n saw bt no use it says unable to connect
P.s :gmail is working fine
I installed k-9 app and it easily setup my yahoo acount and i can mail through it too dont know what went wrong with the default application(social hub)
stil i would like to know what went wrong if anyone could help
I know this may sound stupid, but can you get into the Yahoo account via the web (on the phone or PC)? At least this will confirm you have the correct username/email address and password.
What server settings did you put in?
Brother i said i can access now via k9 but still not via the default social hub and yes i can acces through pc and mobile browser too
i tried all the possible settings in the social hub like pop3; imap ;ssl certificate on; accept all ssl certificate but no use so currently i m using k9
i think it has to do something with the certificate validation as the error says so but i dont know the solution to it
p.s : phone not rooted
Had the same error today. Read somewhere to change the Yahoo account's outgoing settings on the phone to SSL with accept all certificates, but that didn't help. So I changed security type to None, and all mail starting flowing out of the outbox again. Guess next time I get the error I'll change back to SSL...
I cant change the outgoing settings of server unless i login and i cant setup only the yahoo account so i dnt get option of manuly editing outgoing server
This is an SSL problem, android does not always include all chained root certificates.
You will still get an error like this:
Cannot safely connect to server.
(java.security.InvalidAlforithmParameterException: trusteAnchors.isEmpty())
Certificate chain[0]:
Subject: CN=(SSL common name here), OU=Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), OU=See
etc...
This needs to be fixed in the build.
I get this problem running latest android 2.3.7, CM7 with SavagedZen Kernel
Would love a fix so I can use SSL again.
Juststarted receiving this error message TODAY. No changes or updates to anything on my phone...anybody know how to fix this.
I also starting getting this today (Cox email). Changing the SSL option to "SSL (Accept all certificates)" fixed it for me.
after sougote
On the email settings tap on outgoing settings and change security type to none.
That worked for my AOL account it might work for others. Worth a try anyway.
i'm facing the same problem...
solution is go to application->setting->Account and sync->add account..
Then yahoo account that I put in account&sync will auto display in mail..
So I didn't facing the giving the error(java.security.cert.certpathvalidatorExceptio n:trust anchor for certification path not found)...:fingers-crossed:

I've been using Att imap.mail.att.net for years for inbound mail (on my Android phone using 4.4.2 ) and ATT mail stopped receiving on July 25th for no obvious reason. I fussed with it a while and fortunately was able ot figure it out. If you follow my steps it should work:
Another contributor mentioned "can't safely connect to server" is actually an SSL error message. He's right... for reasons unknown they've changed something about SSL.
You must change your SSL setting from SSL to the alternative : SSL (accept any certificate) The phone informs you it is testing the connection after you change this. with just SSL it will fail, but once you've changed it you will notice the error message has changed.
Once you observe the test is passing, you have the original problem fixxed, but I still had to mop up the existing mess. Here's what I did:
1.) jotted down all the settings in the imap screen including my account name etc.
2.) Removed the account (with imap all messages are still on the server and will come back later)
3.) reboot (this may have been superfluous
4.) reinstalled the mail account using the jotted down settings ... and don't forget .. set to SSL (accept any certificate)
That should do the trick.... Take care

Native Email app on ICS, where is Manual setup?

Hi!
Am I the only one having this problem? The "manual setup" when adding a new email account is now "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync". There is no manual options anywhere. I've been searching for it for a week, I'm now using some crap email client while searching but this is really a pain in the ***...
Do you know any tricks to bypass this and get to the manual configuration screen?
Or is there any way to have the default ICS email app? Why is samsung replacing it at the first place?!
Thanks!
Just fill in the fields and then the "manual setup" button will be enabled.

The button is NOT manual setup anymore, like I said it's now a button for Microsoft ActiveSync.

Have you tried clicking on it? Maybe they just changed the label of the button, and it does the same thing. (As VAXXi notes above, you will probably have to fill out address and password before it enables)

Yes I tried it, it leads to the Exchange configuration screen.
I tried so many things and yet nothing works.
edit: yes I filled both fields, I even tried to input my IMAP infos inside Exchange screen lol
Thanks for helping.

So you're trying to enter an IMAP email server into your email app? Yeah, that won't work with Exchange Activesync. What IMAP server?
You could just put in your address/password and hit next. It should try to auto-discover your server settings and add the account, and you should be able to edit them after that in the settings.
OR, have you tried going through the Accounts settings instead of through the Email app?

lol, I'm trying to add custom IMAPS so it does not find them automagically unfortunately... So I can't get past the account autoconfiguration screen.
I tried going from the Account settings but there's no email option, nor imap or pop3 options...
Thanks

Sorry to hear this But by custom IMAP I mean, they are not automatically detected because they're not using standard hostname syntax like imap.domain.com but more something like imap.mail.domain.com which seems to cause problem to the Email app hehe
Thanks anyways

Right, I know what you meant.
To clarify, I meant I've only ever set up my Exchange account for work, and my Gmail account. I've never tried to set up an IMAP or POP account for any other address.
Good luck dude.
Ah, ok. You have to fill in the details email and incoming server, then uncheck the "push notification" checkbox and the bottom left button will change to "manual setup", and you can configure your IMAP.
It's stupid, I know

Repeat email notifications

Need to find some way to DISABLE repeating email notifications...as in I keep getting repeated "new" email notifications for the same email until another, newer email comes in...I've even got notifications clicked off in the settings menu and I am still getting notifications.
Any ideas? Running Clean ROM right now, but it was happening on Novella Dos as well...one of the reasons I switched over to CR...it is quite maddening.
Thanks in advance!

Go into your email, go to settings, and Uncheck "Email Notifications" I am running AOSP Email, but it should be similar.

thats the problem. POP3 will show a notification on any unread email. also, if you r deleting the email from the phone, you may not be deleting it from the server. POP3 gives you the option to change this in the incoming server settings. when inside the incoming server settings, you will see at the bottom that there is an option that says what the phone should do when you delete an email from the phone. if you delete it from the phone only, the email will still exist on the server. this will cause multiple notifications of the same email, even if it is marked as read.
a couple solutions:
1: if you ARE NOT deleting the emails and getting duplicate notifications, switch the account to an IMAP config. (every email host i have had gives you both options: IMAP or POP3)
2: if you ARE deleting the emails and the Incoming server setting is set to "Delete email from server: Never", you will need to change that to "When i delete from inbox". otherwise, you will have to deal with duplicate notifications. NOTE: IF YOU DELETE THE EMAIL OFF OF THE SERVER, ANY OTHER PLACE THE EMAIL IS STORED (I.E.: HOME COMPUTER, TABLET, ETC.) WILL ALSO DELETE OFF OF THOSE DEVICES.
you should also know that when deleting an email with an IMAP config will automatically delete it off of the server. IMAP will also show when you have viewed or replied to an email across all devices that are signed into the same email address as IMAP.

Thanks for the detailed response...I don't know what to say really; the problem has only happened recently, say last few weeks. I finally got fed up with it and sought a resolution.
I switch roms frequently, so I have to set up accounts frequently enough to know what is checked and my settings are default, always the same. So why the change? I guarantee I could power up my Rezound and the settings would be the same...and I never had this problem before.
Doesn't matter if the emails are read or not. Right now I have notifications off and the problem still is occurring. If I delete an email then I'm still notified for the next newest.
And last but not least, the problem has followed me across different roms. Thought it was specific to one as I had used that rom for several weeks. So maybe it is something server side. Can't configure Knology(now WOW) for IMAP, I tried. Besides, I refuse to check 'delete from server' because there are emails I need to keep that need attention from my home PC. I can change sync settings to longer periods or off, but that is not really feasible either.
So bottom line is, I just don't get it.
**Update** Not sure exactly what fixed it as I did multiple things in a short period, but the problem no longer exists. Unticked, rebooted, reticked notifications and all is good. Also loaded a different rom from bachup, but that was before I did above steps. Who knows??:fingers-crossed:

[Q] Lollipop: Exchange account issues and: how to remove account from GMail?

I've successfully installed the OTA lollipop rom on my Nexus 5. Now, I face issues accessing our company exchange account from the GMail app.
After my upgrade from KitKat 4.4.4, I have added the company exchange account to the GMail settings, which seemed to work ok - at least my phone was able to store the server settings w/o any issues after checking them when I pressed the finish button in the settings dialogue. However, the information dialogue about exchange being able to change settings remotely on my phone (or similar) did not pop up as it used in KitKat. In addition, I am not able to remove the Exchange account, which I wanted to do in order to restart from scratch.
Does anybody face similar issues? And: How can i remove my exchange account, which does not appear under settings - accounts btw.?
Thx in advance, G.

Probably just need to remove your Google Account and re-add it to clear it from Gmail. This won't reset your data or anything. As far as getting Exchange to work in general, I'm not sure. Have never had reason to mess with it.

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately removing the Google account did not resolve the issue - removing it did not remove the exchange account. It was still visible in the GMail app - and it was still not visible under Settings - Accounts.

Uninstall and reinstall Gmail then. If that doesn't work, might need to log in on the web and try and remove it from the Settings there.

Thanks, I tried to remove GMail and in order to do so rootet my Nexus 5 which led to a new Lollipop installation (which I was not aware of but which was ok). Then, I had to re-add my Google account as well as my Exchange account. I did this using the menu settings > accounts (before, I added the account from GMail directly). And guess what - after confirming the access question which hadn't popped up in my earlier setup everything works as expected .
Thanks a lot for all your help!

Glad all is well. Enjoy your Lollipop. lol
I was able to remove an my Exchange account from Gmail thusly:
Settings > Apps > Gmail
> Click Force Stop
> This gave me a prompt saying that I couldn’t stop Gmail because it was a Device Administrator
> Clicking ‘Remove' took me to Settings > Security > Device Administrators.
> Unchecking ‘Gmail’ both stopped the app AND removed exchange.
> You should then be able to add back the amount via the usual means.
This appears to be a security ‘feature’ intended. It would be nice if they added a little symmetry UI in the account manager and provided a fake removal menu with a how-to or a link to a help article.
