Password due to exchange connection

Hi
I have a, for me big, or should I say annoying problem. I have my HTC Touch HD connected to my emplyers exchange server. My company requires that you have a password that turn on after maximum 5 minutes, the one in WM. My problem is that I have installed TomTom navigator and when I navigate with it, the password goes on after 5 min and after another minute the program shuts down. According to me the phone is active when using TomTom and I don't want to have the password turned on.
Hope someone understand my problem and has a good solution to it.

hey there,
there have been a lot of posts about this in the past, did you search?
The app below kills the lock completely so it wont ever come back on (until u unistall the cab that is).
Be advised though i found the app drained my battery a bit more as it runs in the background.
Enjoy your new freedom. (be aware your company may go ape **** if they find out your running this tho... so up to you.)

Tried to search, but probably not hard enough...
Anyway, thanx very much!!!

GPS when phone turned off ?

Hi all,
I've posted this in the Iolite/Cruise 09 section as well. I'm posting here so there's a better chance of answering my question.
I just got my Cruise 09 delivered last week, it replaced an Eten M600 which finally died a month ago !!
I'm really happy so far, it could do with one or two more hardware buttons , but it's not really a problem.
I've been trying out TomTom , and bought the Europe maps, it works perfectly so far.
I have a question I hope someone can answer for me - Is it possible to turn off the phone and still use the GPS ? When I turn the phone off and try to use TomTom, I have a message on screen "All connections are disabled (Flight mode) "
Is there a way around this ?
I will be driving abroad soon and don't want to leave my phone on all of the time.
Thanks

you can turn it off but you can prob toggle the screen so you save a bit of power
that way
thing is when suspented the phones disable the sd interface to save power
and thats where most people keep their maps

It's a design flaw of TomTom. Other GPS apps work in flight mode though. You can turn the phone off but leave the wifi and/or bluetooth on. Driving with the phone off seems like an unnecessary/bad idea. Any good reason for it?

Hi ,
Thanks for the replies.

The reason I wanted to operate Tomtom without the phone turned on is because when I go away on holidays I usually turn my phone off. After all , the whole idea is to get away from it all and try to relax, not be answering the phone all the time.
I'm planning on driving around Scotland, and will be using the GPS on my new Cruise.
I've just been experimenting with my phone. If I have wifi enabled and the gsm off, Tomtom says flight mode enabled.
If I have Bluetooth enabled but wifi and gsm off , Tomtom works !
I also just got an email response from HTC, as follows --
HTC Customer Care said:
Dear valued HTC customer,
Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns.
You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your HTC Cruise 2
To clarify your issue, you stated that: Hard reset operation
There must be a bug into the software, if the flight mode is visible into the system this can be just a software problem, if the flight mode is inside the tomtom software this can be the distribution of tomtom , please try the hard reset.
HARD RESET OPERATION.
1.Start
2.Settings
3.System
4.Clear Storage (before performing please make sure that you run a backup using active sync)

If the above steps do not resolve your issue, we invite you to visit the support area on our Web site. Please go to: http://www.htc.com/www/support.aspx

It appears they think I should do a hard reset.
Would this not just reinstall tomtom with the same bug ?

Touch Pro 2 Issues

I looked around for a thread that had a compiled list of descovered glitches and stuff for the TP2 and didn't find one, so here we go. If you notice any issues with your TP2 post em, and maybe we can offer solutions, or at least get an idea if it is a specific device issue, or perhaps something wrong with the ROM, etc.
As mentioned in another thread, I have noticed a sms messaging glitch, where if you are in conversation mode and you recieve multiple texts before exiting, you have to exit and enter the conversation 1 time for each text recieved.
Also, I have noticed on multiple occations that the sometimes when my TP2 goes to sleep mode, it will not wake up unless I take out the battery. Those are the two main things.
I have a friend with a Touch Pro, and I also had one before I got the TP2, and I have noticed that both of these issues are on both devices. The touch pro only experianced them after the ROM update HTC released for it.
BTW, I have Sprint CDMA service. I don't know if Verizon users are experiancing the same issues.
I have considering flashing a custom rom to fix these issues if they are ROM specific, but idk if they are.
So, any other issues that anyone wants to share?

To tell the truth, I am not sure what is wrong. It may be a batch issue (a group of phones that all have the same problem). I have the Sprint TP2 and don't have the freezing issue.
I have noticed the issue with the text messages, but I believe that it has something to do with the new integrated Texting tab in the TF3D Contact/Address Book. There is a program on this Forum Called "Safe Inbox Extender" ( at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265 ). If you download it and install it, it enables the "Mark all as Read" function in the Text Messages. Has been a God send.
As far as the other issue, I would suggest that, after a back up of important things of course, that you do a hard reset. See if that fixes the problem. Also, If you have a bunch of 3rd party apps, you might want to install them one at a time, with a little time in between, and see if they are causing the problem. I've fallen into the runt of I know what programs I like and have them stored on my storage card. Just because all my phones have been WinMo, doesn't mean they will all be compatible.
Just some thoughts.

I'll try that program, thanks. As far as the sleep issue, idk if a hard reset would work or not. I accidentally reset it a few days ago when I tried to restore my data profile because my internet wasn't working and it went to the prgramming menu instead and wiped the whole phone. So I guess I'll wait and see if it does the sleep mode thing again. If not then I guess the hard reset did work.

I don't know if Verizon users are experiencing the same issues.

I can confirm that Verizon TP2 has same issues...Back it up and Hard Reset! Fixed the problem on my girlfriends and my buddys TP2...Neither issues have occurred since.

I''ve noticed when my phone is on sleep mode for more than 15-20 minutes it won't turn on immediately if i try to use the slider. i usually have to open and close the slider to get the screen to turn on. I've tried a soft reset but that hasn't fixed the problem. I've also had a few programs crash on me already. Any suggestions? Thanks

im on uscellular havent had any of those problems.the main issue i got with the tp2.is the memory usage i do soft reset its between 46-56 pct used. do nething on it like internet or play a game it sits around 80 pct used till i use cleanram or soft reset again.if any1 knows a way to lower the usage plz post it. ty

I have a us cellular tp2 and the only problems i am experiencing is that yeah the memory isnt the greatest but mostly the clock, i set the time zone for us central time and at least 2 to 3 times a day the clock will reset itself to eastern us time its a real pain in the a**. not sure how to fix it as of yet, any other uscc customers having this same problem?

Hey! I had this problem too, but I figured out how to fix it.. Here's what I had to do..
I had to set my time to a local city [Click on World Clock ----> Add City ----> Local timezone city ---> Set My Location, and change your time to the proper one, then set your clock as the other city you made just a minute ago. While the new city is selected, delete it from the list [Menu ---> remove cities] and select your personal location again.
This timme, click on menu ----> Local time settings, and make sure that it says your timezone [Default on USCC for some reason is Central Timezone - Their headquarters]

I have a TP2 from US cellular. It has winmo 6.5 on it. It keeps show i have 1 txt msg. But i don't have any. I installed this cab but i don't see the mark all as read function anywhere.

yeah i also have the tp2 with us cellular and live in central time, but it always goes to eastern time. i called the tech team for uscc and they said that they have never heard of that issue before, but they said that they submitted a ticket for a fix so hopefully they do soon cause its very annoying

my tp2 doesn't have the sleep or time or txt problem, but it does soft RESET itself randomly for no apparent reason, happens 1-3 times a day, reallly annoying......

[Q] Recently GPS problems

Hi all,
I have a Desire S and am very happy with it. But recently I have GPS problems.
Since I have this device I never ever had any problem with the GPS. A fix within a few seconds. The GPS of the phone had a fix faster and more stable than my Garmin I use for geocaching.
I have installed c:geo and GPS Status from the beginning. And I did not add any 'strange' programs, no games.
But since a few weeks the phone it takes a long time to get a fix. Even in an open terrain, so no trees or buildings. And when it can determine it's location it is very unstable. The phone even has trouble to determine it's location by the mobile network.
I have Android 2.3.5 and HTC sence 3.0 and softwareversion 2.10.401.8
Can anyone help me with this one? It drives me crazy....
TIA, Peter

I can only advice you to install Faster Fix from the market. It changes the GPS configuration for faster fixing. It worked for me but there are also other GPS optimization tips all over the forum, though I can't give you a specific one.

I had GPS problems on my DS as well, googled a bit, and found out you can change the GPS config file.
First use FasterFix, and select your location to where ever you is closest to you, then google "ntp pool" enter the website and choose a region from the right hand side. Use Root Explorer to go to your /System/etc location. Open gpsconf, and type in the "server 0.europe.pool.ntp.org" text. It will change on where you are located. Mine was Europe thats why there is ".europe.pool"
Hope i helped you out man. Peace.

Thanks guys. I will try your suggestions.
Althought I still don't understand why my phone has these GPS problems. Just out of the blue...

I had major problems with GPS fix for several days, until I made a "compass calibration" through GPS status program. A reboot might do the same, but I'm not sure.

Hi all,
I did a hard reset of device and restored the factory defaults. As I did not change a lot on the device this was not a very big issue for me.
But after this the problems are gone. My device now has a fix within a few seconds.
Kind regards,
Peter

Networks disconnect with work profiles :@

Hi all,
I have searched for any past references to this issue quite a bit but found nothing in here so thought I would ask. Maybe my searching skills are not good
Whenever an app that requires aGPS starts, both my sims and my wifi disconnect and reconnect in a continuous loop. This has started happening since I factory reset my phone and then installed my company's work profile in the summer. I had a look on the OnePlus forums and it's a known issue since the beginning of the year but OP have done nothing about it. I need my work profile because of course I work a lot from my phone and even though a recommended fix is to switch off location services so that this doesn't happen, location for me is a very important function on my phone.
Does anybody know of any solution to this that I couldn't find? Am I going to have to go the route of a custom ROM to address this? I haven't had a phone with a custom ROM since my XDA IIs so really don't want to do this
Thank you in advance!

nobody? . . .
