is there a remote desktop tutorial or how to guide? as i dont know how to work the thing but id love some help
try to use XP remote desktop, it is same !
you must create an admin account (or use a existing one) with a password..
then press "winkey+pausebreak" and click on the "remote" tab
check the box "alow users to connect remotely...."
note the name bellow this check box, that is the name your computer is seen in the world wild web..
connect your phone via active sync (to use the internet connection)
open the remote desktop app on your ppc
fill the blanks with the data you have collected/created:
Computer: the name bellow the check box
user name: your user account on windows logon
password: your password
domain: not needed
remember, the windows account (logon) must be without limitations, i mean, an admin account
mine is working here
You dont need an Admin-account
just add your Account to the group remotedesktop-users, its even more secure...
And...note that by default, an account with empty password cannot be accessed through remote desktop (However you can override by setting security policy).

As a previous owner of Touchdown on Android ( in which was excellent app); I downloaded by the instructions and it works great. The only feature I wish it had was having a checklist option to select emails to either move into folders or to delete. Similar to the email app preloaded on RT , it only allows you to delete one message at a time. Other then that small feature request it's like my previous experience with the app, a one stop mail, calendar, tasks, notes, contact app. A definite must have.
Does it only sync with EAS?

Um... you can select multiple messages and delete them all at once in the mail app. With the keyboard/mouse/touchpad with ease, with your finger with some difficulty. Perhaps the multi-select works the same way in TouchDown.
Kerio Connect too?
It's really nice. Good size and works well.
Some tweaks required but it is still a beta. I have only managed to work out how to have on account. There's no obvious "add new account" option, even via the charms bar.
Would be lovely if I could import an ical URL and then it could take over completely as my calendar.
You can select multiple with a swipe to the right for select, though sometimes this results in opening the message instead.
I have it working against Gmail EAS right now (which of course means that I have to hit some website to set it up to allow all of my calendars and enable true deletes). So far it works well, though the interface doesn't feel Metro-y. The settings could use some work as when used on a tablet, the on-screen keyboard often overlaps the settings. That makes them hard/impossible to use without a physical keyboard attached.
On the whole, no major problems, but also not enough improvement over the built-in Mail app for me to want to switch. (Hard to believe I just typed that.)
Is this beta different to what is now available in the app store?
Whether anyone could setup gmail? It always says that ActiveSync can't be found (
Isn't it only for Exchange. I want to use it for pop3 and imap since the mail app can't do pop3
It seems useless if i do not use Exchange. I can't neither setup gmail nor my domain mail using pop and smtp (((
Having some trouble... I deleted the tile and now I don't find any way to launch it, as it is not in my Apps either.
I tried installing aging, but when it comes up and says to hit enter to continue the dos window just close.
I would like help with a couple of things,
1. How can I remove all of what is downloaded and installed? I would like to clean this up. It would be nice if there was uninstall/removal instructions-I couldn't find them.
2. I would like to do number 1, because ultimately I would like to re-install this.
Running Windows 8.
Appreciate any help or pint into the right direction...

2nd. Can we please get uninstall instructions?
I am having difficulty installing some programs in Windows 7. I have two accounts set up: Administrator, and User Account. The Guest account is not used, nor enabled. My User Account has Administrator rights ( I think it was set up that way). When I install some programs through the User Account, the files are installed in the Administrator Account. The folder for the app/program will not show up in the User Account under Start/AllPrograms but show up in the Administrator Account under Start/AllPrograms. Thus, if I need to utilize one of the programs features, I cannot do it from the User Account. Through the User Account, I usually can access the basic functions of the program but little else.
I have tried different ways to elevate the User Account to full Administrative rights but it seems Microsoft won't allow it.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. XDA can help you with your phones and tablets but not on Windows PC issues. Check on Microsoft's web sites for Windows questions.

I remember back in the days when internet was accessed at 33kbps speeds (sorry.. old skool guy here) we used to use ini files in our installation package to set customers' email, proxy etc settings. In Windows there even used to be a file type of "ISP settings" or something similar that you could only right click and install new settings.
Now I'm facing the same situation. Doing my own client I need a way to automatically set up remote Androids to use certain IMAP email server, CardDAV, CalDAV etc. Does there exist any format of file, MMS message or set of commands to do it?

I don't think so you should look into a MDM system for android, I think that your best chance honestly. or find an app or company that allow push settings for network admins.
I have a personal Honor 8 device I use to access my company email. They use Duo Mobile software to authenticate before allowing this.
After upgrading to Nougat 7.0, I am unable to access email (using the Outlook app). I get a message saying that I need full disk encryption turned on. I don't see this as an option anywhere in my Settings. I do have a strong password set to be used.
Do I need to enable File Based encryption at this stage? I am trying to do this and do not see the option to convert to File Based encryption even after turning on Developer Options by the way.
Has anybody else run into this issue? Any guidance - I am dead in the water without being able to access my email.
Thx
AK
I remember I had a problem with my e-mail but I'm not 100% certain that it was the same issue. But try to remove all your screen locks including finger print and try again.

Thanks for the response. However in order to enable Corporate Email, Outlook asks for a password to be in place. Therefore I cannot remove all screen locks.
The problem seems to be that the authenticating software (Duo Mobile) is looking for two things on the device. One is that full disk encryption is explicitly enabled. The other is that the setting to "Require password at Startup" is enabled. Neither of these options are availalble on the Honor 8. Their support says that encryption is on by default and therefore there is no setting for it.

Further, I looked at turning on the new File Based Encryption that is part of Nougat. There are how-to's that discuss this, where you have to turn on Developer Options to do so. However, on the Honor 8, even after turnin on Developer Options, there is no option to "Convert to File Based encryption" available. If you search in Settings, it shows this option, but upon clicking on that option from the Settings Search results, it just takes you into Developer Options and there is no setting to enable File Based encryption.
Nvm this, poor reading comprehension on my part
I have no issues using Gmail's Exchange client to connect to my corporate email. It sounds like it's not a Nougat or Android problem, it's a Duo Mobile problem
I had the same problem.
Switched to the app Nine. It is a one-time purchase and its security model is app-wide instead of device-wide.
Have you tried it yet?

The company whose email I need to get to has only enabled Outlook as a client - therefore using other email clients (such as the Gmail app) is not an option unfortunately.

To the best of my knowledge as long as you have the correct server credentials, you can use any client. For example, my credentials:
Server: subdomain.website.com
Domain\Username: test\Telperion
Port: 443
Security type: SSL/TLS
I can connect using Gmail's Exchange client, Outlook for Android, Nine, native Huawei email client, etc. While everyone's setup is different, if you're able to log in using the Outlook client, theoretically there's nothing to prevent you from using the same credentials in a different client.
That was my not my experience.
My company's Outlook server is configured to require device-level encryption for mobile devices with complex passwords. On my Nexus 6p, Outlook for Android did not work, with the error that it "did not support the encryption required". Also, I could not use fingerprint authentication on the device, and required a 8-digit unlock code. Not just for Outlook, mind you -- any time I wanted to unlock the phone.
OWA (Outlook Web App) for Android worked fine, but it supports neither push nor notifications, rendering it utterly useless. OWA is, as far as I can tell, just a shell containing an HTML rendering engine that reflows the web app.
The only reason CloudMagic (and potentially Nine) worked for me is that CloudMagic (and I think Nine) have device-level encryption on their server (?). The end-user provides credentials for their server to log in, download the email, and act as an intermediary.

When adding my corporate exchange email to Gmail, Gmail is activated as a device administrator with permissions to:
Erase all data
Set password rules
Monitor screen-unlock attempts
Lock the screen
Set lock-screen password expiration
Set storage encryption
Disable cameras
I'm not using webmail, I'm using Exchange ActiveSync. Device policy forces me to have a lock screen pin or password, but I can still fingerprint unlock it. It sounds as if your respective Exchange servers aren't configured properly, because all of the security that they're requiring can be mandated through ActiveSync and Gmail's device administration service.

Is Exchange ActiveSync different from Office 365's Exchange?
When I asked IT about local ActiveSync, they said that they don't support it, just Office 365 on Shibboleth.
Then again, I couldn't get a Chromebook to connect to the WiFi network here due to some misconfiguration in their Cisco router's PEAP setup, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Different back end, same capabilities. Exchange ActiveSync is a site-hosted server, Office 365 is a cloud-hosted version. On a local Exchange server, your IT department will have set up a local domain and you will have a user account in Active Directory (domain\Telperion). In Office 365, your user account is your email address ([email protected]) and there is no domain mapped that you have to configure. Once you know this, you can piece together the way to configure it.
The biggest challenge is that IT typically won't mess around with supporting mobile device configuration ("I don't know Android"), and Microsoft tutorials don't give clear instructions ("I don't know Android"). Android tutorials say "I don't know Microsoft" so you end up having to piece things together from multiple sources online.
See attached tutorial, it's very easy once you know what to do.
Add new account from device Accounts menu
Choose 'Exchange' with the Gmail logo
Enter your corporate email address, don't hit next, hit "Manual Setup"
Choose 'Exchange' as the account type
Make sure your email is entered in "domain\username" field
Enter password
Server for Office 365 is "outlook.office365.com"
Port 443
Set security to "SSL/TLS"
From there it should handle all the rest of the configuration.

Thanks. Tried Nine. Works the same way as Outlook so far. In other words, setting its policy to only apply to the app doesn't make a difference in how Duo Mobile (the two factor authentication checker) continues to insist the device be encrypted and have the setting "Require password on startup" be turned on.

Thanks for the detailed message. Tried the above.
When I left the server be the default server name (derived from my email address), I got a "Certificate is not valid" error. I had "None" as the certificate.
After I changed the server name to be outlook.office365.com as mentioned in your instructions above, I now get a "Can't connect to server" message.
I did recheck my steps. Not sure why Gmail fails to connect. Any suggestions on where to look?

I checked the settings for Outlook Web on my PC and it is an Office 365 account. I updated by Gmail settings to match (Server: outlook.office365.com, Port: 993 and Security: SSL/TLS although on the PC it was just TLS). Get a message saying "Couldn't open connection to server".
