Can't find answer anywhere - Exchange security and pattern unlock

I have the Inspire 4G and my office is using Exchange security so pattern unlock is disabled and now I can only use a pin. I hate typing in a pin.
I've read about a few methods to get pattern unlock working again but none of them seemed to work so far. I haven't seen any for the Inspire.
Any suggestions?
Grateful for any tips. Thanks!

Security Pattern is not recognized by many institutions. So it is not supported. I think this is because the admin can reset it if its either PIN or password.

If it's not possible to get pattern to work is there a way around Exchange security altogether?

Well that would pretty much render Exchange useless, wouldn't it?

You could try that. But remember, these days corps are very very serious about security issues. Don't tamper or play around security stuff when it comes to ur job. Do u want to risk ur job for the sake something so trivial?

Agreed, if I found someone bypassing the lock on my old job they would be fired on the spot. I know IT is a pita for alot of people but it is there for a reason, if you agree with it or not.

Google Wallet compatibility

I'm rolling with a Nexus S right now, and just discovered and started using Google Wallet. I know that the One X(L) has the NFC chip, but can anyone confirm that it is compatible with Google Wallet? It's not a deal-breaker, but it is up there on my list of features that I'd rather not do without.

I thought wallet is only available on sprint/ unlocked nexus phones.

Depends on Carrier. AT&T wont allow it because its putting all of its resources into Isis.

Seems to work on the nexus s that I have on at&t, although I have not tested it by tapping the phone yet. The software installed and I was able to set it up though.

AT&T might not support it, but we will find a way to put it on

There could be so many security holes though if we went about it that way. I think in this case it'd be best to wait for whatever comes out ISIS or whatever.

I tried it on my Rogers One X and it says there's a problem with the secure element

Has anyone managed to get this working?

You get $10 for free by using it FYI.
We will get a working APK method eventually of putting it on. Verizon's Gnex wasn't allowing it either but people found a way to get it to work. Its only a matter of time IMO.

The Modaco solution is only for the international. It won't work with ATT

Honestly I'm really hating At&t for crippling this device, I really want to try google wallet, and don't want to have to resort to hacks to make it work, but I will if i get the chance

With the main thread for Google Wallet (GW) now reaching well into 200 pages it is getting to the point where it takes hrs to find out if GW will work for you.
lgkahn, daitienshi, and myself have develped a spreadsheet for tracking what works and does not. Feel free to check the list. If the rom you are running is not listed give it a try and let one of us know through a private msg, and we will add it to the list. If you happen to have GW working please let us know so that we can add it to our spreadsheet.
The ATT compatibility thread can be found at. ATT GW Compatibility Thread
Please include the following.
Carrier
ROM
ROM Version
Base Band (this can be found in settings / about phone)
GW version
Any extras that need to be flashed
What build.prop you used and if you changed it back to stock
Any notes that you feel are relevant.
And last but not least DOES IT WORK.

That makes no sense, if its an at&t branded phone then its going to support what at&t allows. Just because you use another carrier doesn't mean that changes
Starting sometime soon unlocking phones for other carriers is going to become illegal so its definitely not going to be a priority

Lol makes perfect sense to me since I don't use at&t. Especially since at&t will unlock your phone with a 10 minute phone call to their customer service.
Also will us prepaid users even be able to use Isis? Probably not, so will get screwed.
How are they going to make sim unlocking illegal? Jail breaking is already perfectly legal and you can even clone your phone as long as you own both devices and pay for your service.

[Q] Google Wallet

Does anyone have their Google Wallet still working? Seems like a wide spread disabling of google wallet on vz occurred over the last two weeks.
Device is rooted, load a back door wallet apk, installed fine, grayed message "Not supported"
Using stock ROM, is that the problem??

I was hoping the guy I quoted would chime in, or the other folks who had successfully changed their build prop to sprint and just installed from the market.
And I wasn't flaming. I simply stated that I have gotten this before and I know it's not that and you shouldn't throw blame around, saying that I broke my secure element.

Pardon? Did you even read my post? It was pretty specific. I said what I did, where I downloaded, and what issue was coming up. My question was even directed at someone. Before you go pointing fingers, you should make sure you know what you're talking about, tough guy.

I had told u earlier that I changed my build. Prop to the Sprint version and working fine for me. I I actually reverted back to the verizon build prop more than once and back to the Sprint one and never any any issues.

The last time I got this issue I didn't flash the correct order of zips from the wallet thread. Upon doing so everything was fixed. I know how to install wallet, I just didn't know if changing your build prop to Sprint made it any easier since they were talking about updating from the market no problem. That was my only question.

[Q] Google wallet/ Isis VZW/ROOT

Is there a way to 1. Get google wallet to fully function on my Razr HD on verizon? Or 2 if that cant happen, trick isis to not seeing I have root.
Also if I get google wallet to get past the idea my phone is a verizon phone, is there anything in the app for root that could cause problems for me like with isis?

Trust me I tried, the phone is missing the proper OS support with any os before 4.4. Plus the App will ONLY look at NCI. It aint happening untill google updates the chips that it supports and to be running 4.4 so the carrieries can be bypassed.
HCE support is missing from the AOSP stack for NXP NFC controllers. It only works on Broadcom (NCI) controllers. (Unless it was pushed as part of the android-4.4-r1.2 tag...)
So if you have a device with an NXP NFC controller - still no Wallet for you. If your device has the HCE permissions XML (this will only happen if someone made a mistake), Google Wallet will indicate that it's 100% ready for payment, but won't react at all to a payment terminal.
(Another option is if an OEM implements HCE for NXP chips even though it is missing from AOSP.)

I had it working way back before the wallet app was available to all phones, I updated on the assumption that the app would work without it hacked. I got the app from the s3 forum but it was taken down because the dev abandoned it and people had security concerns, all that was done was a mod that disabled the ID checker and told the app the phone was either the Galaxy nexus or the Nexus 4, not sure.
Im just looking for either a build prop edit script that also has the built in undo ability or a modified app by a reputable and trustworthy dev, maybe it was the wrong place to post in the Q&A and I should request a mod to either move to the dev area or FWD the thread link to a few developers to let them see it and have a discussion.

Im honestly NOT trying to start a argument here, I know it CAN be done and HAS before but I cant get instructions how to do it again.

If it can be done on the Razr HD then you would be the first. Many have been trying...search the forum and you will see. The build.prop hacks just dont resolve the issue...with the build.prop modifications you can install the old GW and even start the process of initializing google wallet but then it just hangs there forever. New Google Wallet will install but no tap and pay.
When Android 4.4 comes to the Razr HD then you will have host card emulation and all will be working fine with Google Wallet as it wont need the secure element.

It doesn't even work on 4.4 yet. GW doesn't support our chipset. Once they fix that then we will be good to go.

People, this isnt rocket science, someone hacked the app for a verizon s3 back in the days of ICS. The hack was supposed to just be a simple change and the effect could have been done the same by a build prop edit according to the thread. Maybe a little more was done I didnt care I only have prepaid credit cards anyway.
Im thinking I need to go over to the s3 guys and kick and scream till I get my wallet candy.

The gs3 has a NCI chip....

If its not rocket science how come you do not know how to do it? If its simple you would think there is no need to ask the question. Look people who have been on this form much longer than you have been trying to help you understand its more than a build.prop edit to get this to work. The support is simply not there yet. Google Wallet has also changed a lot since the ICS days. When Android 4.4 comes out for the phone from Motorola then GW will work.
I am using my Moto X daily now so I am not sure about this next statement but CyanogenMod 11 might work for you on your Droid Razr HD if you have yours unlocked. If not wait on Moto to release the 4.4 update and give GW a try then.

There will be no Tap&Pay until someone gets the NXP Controller set up for HCE.
This will require some decompiling of files that are not easy to decompile. Of course, nobody that does this is going to get paid, so, we can't exactly hire a software reverse engineer. I am going to try to get in touch with Dan Rosenberg and see what he can cook up for us. He's the most known software engineer here and responsible for our unlocked bootloaders.
If you want Tap and Pay, the best thing to do is push that Googe+ link that I posted last night (a few posts up) to any social medium you can think of and maybe it'll grab the right person's attention.
ISIS and Google Wallet have nothing to do with each other. Android 4.4+ and HCE made it independent.
What we are looking at:
Decompile NFC.apk, NFCui.apk
Decompile the CPP files in that.
Find out what is missing from AOSP
Add it to CM or make a flashable zip.
If you have any friends, family or anyone that can help out. This is the time. Because it doesn't seem like it's going to get merged into AOSP.

Like I said in my previous post, I haven't tested TNP. However, the OP is talking about getting the app installed and was just stating that it was possible to install on 4.4. As for TNP, I don't really need it because I've seen very few places near me that even have POS capability for TNP.

If you want this, please go to my Google+ link and find the jira link in there and vote it up. Nothing is going to get done if we don't bring attention to it.

No, I'm pretty sure they have it locked so that won't work.
Honestly, it's ridiculous to even want to try, you'd be giving anyone an open door to your money. You as the user could NEVER keep it anywhere even close to being as secure as it is designed to be. As a matter of fact, it's probably even illegal even if you did find a way. Or at least will get you blackballed by your bank, maybe even other banks.
Moral of the story? It's best to leave it alone and do yourself a favor and let it keep your stuff secure as it is supposed to do.

I'm not trying to bypass the bank app PIN. The bank app (which is passworded itself) is forcing me to set a PIN or pattern in my lock screen. I just don't feel like typing a password every time I use my phone.

I know exactly what you asked the first time, my answer remains the same.
You could set a fingerprint probably, if your device has fingerprint feature.
Or, some devices can be unlocked by voice using "ok Google"
You can try finding a way to get the banking app allow using one of those methods. It wouldn't remove the need for it, but it would make it easier.
