[Q] Exchange Active Sync Pin Lock and Remote Wipe - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Since Gingerbread came out the built in email client has stopped working with Exchange with encryption turned on. Does anyone know if there is a rom that supports this or is there a Froyo rom that I could try on my HTC EVO Shift?
Thanks

Not sure but at my old job I used MikShifted G, and it worked with Exchange and encryption turned on. You didn't mention what Rom your running. But have you talked with your IT people to make sure your device has permission? If your going to try Froyo, I also had no issues using MikShift v1.1. Hope that helps

[Q] Sensation Device Encryption

Hi guys,
Our IT department recently updated policies on our exchange server, and now they require that device encryption be enabled to sync with the exchange server.
Now, as soon as this was enabled, my phone stopped syncing with exchange. After numerous attempts at making it work I deleted the account and tried to add it again. This is when I started receiving messages regarding device encryption.
I have contacted our IT department, and they advised that the Sensation doesn't support device encryption, and I am out of luck with syncing my phone with exchange as they will not disable the encryption requirement
Is the IT department correct in regards to the fact that the Sensation doesn't support device encryption? If they are, then would some custom ROM be able to "spoof" or enable device encryption?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
Regards,
Michael
The sense 3.5 roms allow you to encrypt the phone but I'm not quite sure if this is what you are asking.

well, once I would assume so... but as I said, I have no idea what the specific problems are... I know that as soon as they enabled the new security policies, my Exchange stopped working... I will investigate S-Off'ing the phone, and then installing a Sense 3.5 ROM. Hopefully that works, because my other options are to use a second phone (WinMo 6.5), swap for a HTC Desire (which apparently works), or swap for my dad's SGS2 (very unlikely to happen)...

[Q] Exchange problems with 2.3.5 OTA update based ROMS

is anyone else having issues with exchange in ALL roms based on the OTA update based on android 2.3.5.. Sometimes when it displays an error connecting or similar (when internet is down or the WAN connection has no internet etc), it gets stuck in that loop (displaying error), even if by then internet connection is OK, the conmnection to the exchange server would not be reconnected. Manually syncing still displays a connection error.. then the only solution to un-stuck it is to open the email app..
All Roms (except viruous unity, which is not based on the update) have this problem..
It happens with both Hotmail and Gmail account (set as exchange AS)
a single yes or no would be nice
And I'm seeing reports of sync issues (failure to do 2 way sync properly), so would also like to know if syncing to a real corp Exchange account (which I do now) will become a problem if/when I upgrade from 2.3.3/1.47.110.3
I did get into a continuous sync loop once before. The cure was to delete and recreate the Exchange account on the phone...
Hyperion is based on the official 2.3.5 RUU, and exchange works fine. If fact, I depend on it for work, and all my contacts are synced from there.
Cheers

don't get me wrong.. it works most of the time, but once it displays an error msg, it gets stuck in that loop
I am having problems with 1and1 exchange active sync after the 2.3.5 OTA update with it being incredibly un-reliable and keeps throwing erros (socket errors, not actually doing a full receive, staying in a loop).
It is soooo frustrating; question do I report it to google or HTC?
Thanks
Exactly.. this is what I mean. Totally unreliable. Exchange is broken in all 2.3.5 roms I tried. I went back to virtus unity which uses 2.3.4 and it works 100% ok. I think it is an HTC problem.. but can not be sure.

[Q] SIP not working on ICS [NS4G oICS v40]

Hey, has anyone tried any SIP clients on any of these builds? None of them seem to work -
SIPdroid - I know this worked prior to the 3.0 kernels. My roomie is running it just fine on V26, but since I updated to V40, no dice.
3CXPhone - No dice, won't even register.
CSipSimple - Registers, but doesn't make called
Built in ICS Sip Accounts - Not really sure, I entered my info and it says "Dialing" but never actually rings
Is this a problem with ICS where something changed? I'm no dev, but I've troubleshot the best I can, can anyone confirm if their Pbxes accounts work or not?
I used Sipdroid to link my Google Voice with my pbxes account.
I'm running oICS V40 with Glados 2.1. I never update over a previous version, I full wipe for every rom. Everything else works wonderfully
On 4.0.1 it was working correctly on my I 9023
Didn't yet tried to setup my account into the official build, will try it soon

Right, it was working fine on my 4G on 4.0.1 as well as my roomies who's currently on that. Once I got up to 4.0.3, it seems to kill all SIP or VOIP. I'd guess it's something from the old kernels to the 3.0
Can anyone confirm or have a work around?

Microsoft Exchange on ICS

I see this mentioned in various posts...but can we get a single thread started where we address this issue if it hasn't been addressed already. I need this working for me bad! I noticed some have gone back to Gingerbread...which I will more than likely do but I dislike Gingerbread! I'd rather stay with ICS only if I can get MS Exchange working. It prompts me to invoke security settings but takes me to storage settings???? I have seen where someone even went threw this but it still did not work. I still get the constant bubble at the top of my phone stating that MS Exchange is unable to sync because security settings haven't been enabled. With Gingerbread all you had to do was hit activate then put a pin in and wow your done....with ICS it does not do this...
I run ICS AOSP on my HD2 and it syncs with our Exchange server perfectly. What's the problem?

1. Wrong AREA to post
2. You're using a beta rom, so go back to GB
3. Use a different client in ICS
What do you recommend me using. Aren't they all BETA's?
I use stock email from ics and push mail working good with HTML support.
I have an HTC Sensation and I cannot get it to sync on a fresh flash. Using ICS Stock email
InsertCoin 4.1.1 Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 – Full Rom
Works flawlessly with Exchange Sync to what I believe is version 2010
/olme
The issue is with the HTC Sense 3.5 email client. I heard the native ICS email client works.
I have used the built in client in this version of ICS as well as the Sense 3.5 client both with ICS and GB. I have no problems with syncing with a Exchange 2010 server.
On some setups I found the activation screen for the Exchange security flew by quickly after I gave the entry a name..It showed up in the notification tray so I was able to roll down the notification click on the entry and activate it. I suspect if you reboot before activating you might be toast.
If you still are having problems try Touchdown for Smartphones..I found it works very well..in some ways it has better features than the built in client. Worth the 20 bucks.

I should have said I am currently using Megadroid ICS 4.0.3 v 1.4.2
Storage encryption.
Hello,
Mine works. I had to tick the storage encryption.
Beware though.
Enabling encryption on the SD card will WIPE ALL the data on the card without any notice (as far as I remember).
Make a backup of your SD card prior to encrypting.
Should you go back to GB for any reason, you will have to un-encrypt the SD card and that will wipe the card too!
Cheers.

I had an issue with exchange, setup went well to the point to activate securety settings.
it just stopped there and would not activate.
i found out that due to extensive flashing i had used up the max numer of devices on exchange server. Luckely i have my on exchange server so i could reset the device amount.
When this was done the setup went like normal.
Exchange settings don't stick for long
Hi, I too use Exchange on ICS and have had no real issues except this one:
I change the default sync settings from 15mins/1hour to push/manual. Frequently this resets again to the default settings.
Anyone know why this is?
Can I tweak an ini file or is something else causing this?
Hope someone can help as it is becoming quite irritating.
This problem only happens with Hotmail/Live Mail. But you have a point, it's quite annoying. And you can't set it to HTML! This option is greyed out.

Hi, a suggestion for you!
And maybe op and others to try
I also had sync issues with ICS and Sense 3.5/6 and 4, they always reverted back to 15 min, 5kb etc.
But surprise surprise! Baadnewz's Sense 4 beta10 includes a fix for this!!!
I can set options like sync every hour, full message download and they stick!
Even upon reboot
Finally HTC became aware of the issue (and did something about it), maybe it solves issues for op as wel..

How can I use the stock email from ICS instead the one from Sense?
Also working on Badnews Insertcoin v5.1.6 ICS v3.6. Exchange settings stick even after reboot....
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Exchange Server 2010 (14.01.0339.001)
ARHD 6.5.2 XE, kernel SebastianFM v1.30.2 - 1782 MHz
Default email client works perfectly fine. Push email works, limit set to 5kb by default, format HTML. Settings presist through a reboot. Contacts/mail/tasks/calendar are in sync, no problems.
6.5.2 was installed for the 1-st time. I had stock rom/kernel/radio. So you might want to try perform a super-wipe, flash ROM again and install the latest kernel. Also to help you pinpoint the issue, logs from the gateway and the device would help i guess. Exchange ActiveSync is quite weird sometimes, worce is only RPCoHTTP, heh.
EDIT: Also after preforming a clean install of the system, don't restore anything from backup. Test if it works in default configuration. I ran into a few problems after restoring settings from titanium backup.
