Samsung JACK SGH-i637 - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

well ATT sticks it to us again.
I cant seem to drop the security level on my phone.
I get a tier-two security prompt.
I also tried changing the registry security policy using CeReg editor and no luck.
Has anyone out there had any luck dropping the security level down.
Also GPS seems to be disabled.
I just found another POst with same question.
Sorry for the duplicate Post.

Make sure after you install clearsecurity.cab and do the provisioning with microsoft security center, that you uninstall the SOTI clear security or you will have terrible battery life.

Blackberry Connect on Raphael

I don't know how much people care, but it'll be available with the AT&T version. I saw someone on the Diamond forum I think saying they got it working, there's a link right in the Messaging section of the AT&T tab and it links you to
www.htc.com/us/mobile/connect/P4600 (which doesn't exist yet of course).
Any update? Has anyone with a Raphael got Blackberry Connect working yet?

Did you try clicking the link that I said the Blackberry Connect icon linked you to from the Fuze? If you did, you would've seen that there's now a website but it shows this:
"Blackberry Connect: Coming Soon!"
Right'o.. Has anyone tried spoofing their device as a Diamond or Kaiser and run that version of Blackberry Connect?
I'd try it myself but I don't have a Blackberry plan yet.
Hi guys,
I am sorry, but I don't know if the USA Raphael is CDMA or GSM and its implications to Blackberry.
I do have the GSM Raphael and Blackberry Connect is no problem at all. Just install the latest version (see my footer) and run. No hacking required. Works perfectly, no big load to processor or memory, full integration in TF3D. Very stable device.

Yes I had it working fromt he 1st day in BIS mode. I have to say
1. It slowed the TP OS down.
2. Blocks other data traffic ports like browsing so you need to turn the connection off if you want to do other data related stuff.
3. Sends emails in plain text only and does not allow calandar accepts and rejects. (this may work in BES as calandar and contact sync is supported in the software)
I ended upi paying the contract penalty to drop BB for a standard data pack instead. emials are better although I don't have push yet.
Does not slow the OS down.
I installed BB connect when I got my Pro in August. Works like a charm and I have no problems with accepting or rejecting meeting requests.
It does eat up the battery...
Cheers
Pat

Indeed I do I have the BES Version (E for Enterprise) and its working really well too! I've used bbconnect on various devices now for about 2 years and this ones as good as any other - which is great!
I have my email, contacts and calendar all synced all of the time. I often have email arrive on my Pro faster than I do on my desk-top - its much quicker and more reliable than push email - although I do also have my g-mail synced with emoze - another great FREE app available for free from emoze.com
I dont have an issue with blackberry data connection conflicts either as both my weather update and google maps work well with bbconnect installed! I also have BlackBerry Browser running which gives full access to my corporate intranet too - only in explorer though and not Opera!
So - in summary - works on the Pro and works Really well....
Software can be found here and by the way you'll need at least version 4.0.0.100 for it to work on the Raphael.....
I've also attached here's a couple of screen shots!
.
i can also verify that it works perfectly for me as well. Here is the drawback though. It pulls your company's security policy and if that poilcy (which most are) is to lock your device you will be looking at a double lock if you already make your device lock. If you do not then you will only have one lock to get through to use the device.
I'm also a happy BES user. Just don't use over the air synchronization of contacts as I have noticed it is not always that accurate and contacts are lost with a large amount of contacts stored, so I leave that with Activesync
Only downside is that Blackberry and regular internet access are two separate connections and only one can be active at a time. Ideally I would like to see two parallel data connections.
Or perhaps even better have Opera and other "data clients" use the blackberry connection, as I have a flat fee data subscription on that.

I also have BES connection and works perfect even abroad with roaming. The thing with the security applies to me also. It is enforced by the company's security policy.
Does anybody know if there is a way to setup the blackberry service using Sashimi or any other method after a clean install? So without configuring the handset manually through BBDesktop.

There is a way to deactivate the company's security policy. After each reset though, you have to go through the unlocking still, but I use Task Manager and a lnk to it's command line to stop the BB security service. Then the security policy is disabled and won't lock the device anymore. Till you soft reset it again.
Of course not recommended from a company's security point of view, but if you are watching a movie on a plane, it is pretty annoying to enter the password each 15 minutes.
Approach me if you want more info.
I'm a Blackberry user that is thinking of migrating to the Touch Pro. What is the advantage of using BB Connect over Activesync?
Also, do you get full HTML with BB Connect? I do on my BB, so was just wondering.

The responsible startup service to lock your device is "BlackBerrySecurity" (you can find it with Memmaid, for example). If you stop that service, e.g. with Memmaid, the BB lock screen will not bother you anymore. But attention: never delete this service! (possible with Memmaid). If you delete it instead of stoping it, your device will not boot anymore and you will need a hard reset.
But if you stop the service, after any soft reset of your device you will see the BB Unlock screen again. Only after unlocking, you can then stop the service, and the company's security policy (in my case, locks device every 15 minutes) will not nag you subsequently anymore.
In the past, after a soft reset I unlocked my device at the BB lock screen, then I opened Memmaid and stopped the service manually. As I have to reset my device frequently (2-3 times daily), this was pretty annoying everytime. I wanted a way to stop the service with one fingertouch.
The excellent freeware Task Manager provides command line parameters which allows to stop selected services. I haven't found any other program that does the same. Additionally, Task Manager is small and has many useful system tools. It is actually not what it's name suggests, it is no task manager but a system tool.
This is what I did:
1. download Task Manager (I do have V3.1) from http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
2. create a .lnk to it with the command line option to stop the BB Security service in your \Windows\StartMenu: for example "\Program Files\TaskMgr.exe" /stopsvc BlackBerrySecurity (if you have installed it in main memory)
3. Now you can reach this link from your Programs list.
I have added a different icon to it and put it in my Programs list at the first place. Now, after a soft reset, I unlock my device, then I just click the icon and the service is stopped.
Company SysAds will hate me. Take care that your data is safe in case you loose the device and use different means of protection.

Disable locking

Is there a way to keep the phone from not locking the screen and asking for my PIN number?
My employer is forcing me to install a certificate to be able to connect to the exchange server at work. And with this certificate comes a security policy that forces me to use the PIN-code lock. Furthermore the time setting for the lock is hardcoded to be as small as one minute.
This is way to short to be reasonable and I'm about to go nuts from having to enter my PIN-code over and over again.
So, is there an application out there that can solve my problem?
Like a G-sensor app that keeps the device alive as long as I'm having it in my hand and thus moving it?
Or perhaps a tweak or hack that can make me get at least 3 or 5 minutes before the device locks up...
Some advice would be appreciated!
I have the same problem. maybe there is a way to extend the locking time to more than 10 min!?
my company enforces 10 minutes, the problem with that is that even while driving and using tomtom it keeps locking!!!
Would love a work around for this, i dont mind it locking (i'd use this feature anyway), but it's stupid that it still forces a lock while using tomtom, how stupid!
Just in case u didn't find a solution yet. There is a small app that monitors the registry and prevents the locking. U only have to unlock the device like once a day. The name of the app is StayUnlock and u can check it here:

TomTom & Security Policy of MS-Exchange

Hello Forum! One question for the pros out there. Our company uses MS-Exchange servers for mobile Email access. One security policy is that the phone will ask you for the PIN every 5 minutes. Which sucks when you use TomTom, the display will show you the lock-screen then while navigation is in progress. After a few moments the display will go black. Well, that's not fun while driving. Is there a way of stopping the security policy automatically while TomTom is active? OK, there is a way of preventing the security policy in the registry manually, but I would prefer a automatic solution. Anyone?
Thank you in advance guys, and have a great weekend!

Ahm, seems that I'm the only one with that problem...
Hi
Just got my HD2 this weekend. Had phone connected to PC and logged onto my work email. The dreaded phone lock set itself up automatically
Found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422668
Also look here
http://khason.net/blog/how-to-disable-exchange-security-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices/
Worked on my device. Can now choose upto 24hrs. I can live with that. Lock seems to come on when the device powers down but I assume you will be running with some sort of power plugged in as GPS always seems to kill the battery. In that case you could set the backlight options not switch off.
Hope this helps
Thanks Dude, these Links are pure Gold!!!!!!
Have a great week!

[Completed] can anyone help me sort through miscellaneous apps and adhoc networks and such?

I recently,(as a novice!), ran an ipconfig to see if I could deduce why my wired connection was sucky. I discovered what it seems is a piggy back on my network. I logged into my modem to make sure ipv6 and other perts were disabled and haven't been able to log into my modem since. (Hacker locked me out?) Anyways after following permissions through various apps, programs, cms prompts, PowerShell, etc it seems I have a ghost machine on my pc,(STILL NOVICE-ish!), and I am trying to track it down. Because of my suspicions on who it may be I am not ready to call law enforcement for help. Any advice is appreciated! I used to work from my pc, but my security software provider was unable to help cause ,I think, my email is being re-routed and screened, and since I work with sensitive info and all my devices were set to keep me from finding answers I needed(permissions, and url redirects) I am crying for help. My savings is gone and I need to be able to work on the computer! Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S7 "security issue" I found

Hello guys! I wasn't really sure if I should ask you about that but I think I really need help on that. I am an Android geek (but I am only beginning to learn app development so my professional knowledge may not be good enough). I talked about this issue with several people: some say it's not an issue and I shouldn't have brought it up, others say it's a problem. Someone from Samsung contacted me a told me that this issue shouldn't exist and that it has been caused by some app I installed (and this app has some administrator permissions).
I have no idea.
Anyway, this "issue" is that when my S7 is locked I can still unfold the quick notifications menu (by swiping from the top to the bottom of the screen) and turn off/on the Internet. Should I be able to do that? What if someone steals my phone?
I described the whole thing in more detail here: https://mobileguru.lol/security-flaw-in-samsung-galaxy-s7/
I guess there are many (or only ) highly tech people who may finally give me a satisfactory answer.
Thanks in advance!
Olga
My S7 does the same.
It seems your concern is that mobile data can be turned on without unlocking. The examples you give on the linked site didn't convince me of a serious security issue though:
1) A thief can turn off mobile data in order not to be tracked. True, but he can achieve the same effect by turning the phone off anyway.
2) Google Now gives traffic info after turning on mobile data. This indicates you're showing notifications on the lock screen. You can turn this off. I did.
It's a surprising finding however, at least for me. I never tried to sweep down on the lock screen before. Thanks for sharing.
I think a patch is required.same happens to me.
it reminds me of some iphone issues like this before.
even flightmode can be enabled disabled

Yes you have right but it creates some inconvenience if you want to unlock and then apply a shortcut very quick

Samsung with the knox stuff about security blablabla .
It is maybe not important for us normal users but maybe someone finds it like a loophole(dont get me wrong i am a knox hater myself lol.)
if samsung cares about security should fix it.
i am sure that no app created this issue like samsung guy said. I reenabled all my package disabler pro disabled apps and it happens again.
Thanks for answers! Well,I thought about moving the shortcut into a different place but it doesn't help - I can still access all of the shortcuts. The funniest thing is that I cannot turn off/on location with the locked phone but I can turn on/off mobile data.
I know that a thief can simply turn the phone off (or its battery may day) and it will be impossible to localize it but the possibility of turning on/off mobile data decreases the chances of finding a stolen/lost phone. Of course if a professional thief steals a phone, we probably won't have it back but if an amateur does it, we may have a little more chance of finding it. That's my whole point here.
But if the phone is turned on in the emergency mode and it's locked this quick settings menu cannot be brought down!
Look into installing Cerberus
there are options to block the power button (so a thief cannot turn the phone off) and to block the notification pull down(so a thief cannot access the quick options from the lockscreen)
Also if a thief pops out your sim and installs a different sim - you can set to get text alerts with the new info from that sim(phone, sim card #)

this is 100% a flaw, I have said this before about the pull down and was told that, thats just how it is.
mostly everything when u click it will ask for a password but not the data lol that is just to funny

Even if there was an option to disable the pull down on the lock screen, I was sure there was an option in the past. Can't remember when/where I seen it, as I know it's always been an option in cyanogen mod.

the flaw is not that you can pull down the flaw is you can enable and disable the data.
wifi it will ask for a password
anything else will ask for a password
so like said before if some one was to steal your phone they could swipe down on the lock screen and then disable the data
any toggle on the lock screen should always ask for password

Well the flaw is that you can actually turn the phone off when the screen is locked.
I agree with the OP. This was just not thought out real well. There is no way you should be able to do anything with a locked phone, not even turn it off. There are plenty of issues and it will only get worse with Nougat. I hope they never push it onto our S7....
And it gets better with the latest update where they give you Samsung Cloud whether you ask for it or not and back up all your apps (including your passwords!) whether you ask for it or not. Snowden's worst nightmare...

Dude, even good lock isn't fixing this problem. I tried and tried even that microsoft lockscreen but none of them are working the right way.
I made a reddit post bout this and some users can only change the Sound/Flash and rotate toggle and get asked for a unlock of the screenlock when changing any connection setting but on mine S7 with the september security patch doesn't do that. It asks for a unlock when i want to toggle wifi or bluetooth etc but not for airplane mode and mobile data so this is a security problem indeed.
But maybe you can tell me which firmware you are running? im on a 930F and tried the latest german and dutch firmware and now i have the G930FXXU1BPHJ software but still not fixing it.

And how do you do that? Because then you press the arrow looking icon it will show all your toggles so even then you can disable mobile data.
Just been thinking, isn't it pointless even if you get this fixed so mobile data can not be disabled?
All they need to do is remove the SIM card and mobile data is disabled anyway

I can't enable anything besides volume and rotation lock with good lock installed, adjusting airplane mode, bluetooth and data/wifi takes me straight to a passcode lock.
I'm running on G930FXXU1BPHE, but even on previous builds with goodlock, and on my s6, I can do everything besides turn off any communication toggles..
- besides that turning the device off doesn't bother me, because all manufacturers put force reboot on their products.

People are so cautious when it comes to this.
I never understood why, if you can turn off your phone at the lockscreen, you're screwed.
I personally use remote commands and message on simchange, i'ved used roms that stop the device being turned off and instead email a photo as well as a latt long location.
All in all it just gives you a slim chance of hope to get your device back.
I'm pretty careless with my phone, and it has been lost and stolen numberous amounts of times, just an example, is at the gym out of my bag.
Now, i maybe ranting on because of my 4th cup of coffee, but Having someones face provides some great hope - with that said, it only takes 2 seconds for someone with a little common sense of phones to completely wipe your device in minutes without a trace.
But.. the chances of coming past someone with that knowledge is sadly... surprisingly rare.

Thanks for the reply dude! May i ask if you on reddit also? Because i posted this problem also and got some response back from a few people.
And some have this problem while others dont so i where asking which firmware they had and someone, who said they didn't have this problem linked me to the same one that you are having.
So guess that the optus firmware doesn't have this problem while my dutch firmware still have this problem while beeing on a newer firmware so thats what i find weird.
So optus with PDA G930FXXU1BPHG CSC G930FOPS1BPHE seems to be secured the right way and my dutch with PDA G930FXXU1BPHJ CSC G930FPHN1BPH3 has it not.
You think this could be related to the CSC? or just the firmware?
