exchange email issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just recently got myself an N5 from an iP4s, all is going smoothly apart from exchange.
On the first sync after putting in all the log in details into the stock mail app for GoDaddy's server, it puts up a notification saying that it needs access to a lot of different things like PIN, auto delete, etc etc, if I decline, it won't sync, just wondered if this was normal, never had anything like on the iP4s, not that I'm saying thats a bad thing!
appreciate its not a N5 specific issue but anything help would be gratefully received

That's a normal issue, my work exchange email requires similar admin. privileges. I have to accept in order for it to sync.

Yep normal. Unlike iPhones, exchange admins can force PIN security on users. I like that

Email with no Exchange policy?

I used to have a version of email.apk that would allow me to hook into my Exchange email but was hacked to not require a PIN even if it was supposed to. I searched and found a bunch of version for Froyo and Gingerbread and one version for 3.0. Is there a version of this for 3.2?

I am interested in this as well......any way of tweaking the stock email to get around the required pin?

Have you ever used it? Does it look like and work as well as the default email app?

I use Enhanced Mail on my devices (Phone/Tablet) for work emails/calendar.
The UI is not optimized for Tablet but nevertheless it works very well.
I synchronize email and calendar from Exchange and it all works well. Emails are pushed from the server when they arrive.
Moxier works well and is Tablet ready. Also has a PIN lock for the app itself instead of device lock.

I too use it as my primay email app, both for office email and gmail. When setting up exchange email it gives a option to not enable exchange policies. This helped me get rid of the PIN from unlocking the screen. I also like the unified mailbox in this app.
These apps are so expensive. I think I would rather just enter the pin in.
As a system admin of an exchange server personally I'd be annoyed that users were trying to circumvent security.
Although I don't know the full circumstances you're in, if you have a security policy in place its usually there for a reason. Depending on your workplaces IT policy (and how paranoid they are about data loss) you may also find that doing something like this is also a sackable offence.
I guess your major issue is having to enter an unlock code each time you want to use your device? As another poster has mentioned you can install an app which just uses the unlock code for the app rather than on your device. I personally use touchdown for exchange. It's got an HD version for tablets, works pretty well and doesn't cost that much.
Think there could still be some improvements to the tablet UI (the unlock screen is obviously a scaled up version of the phone version) but overall its worth it. I used to pretty much try to only use free software but have found its totally worth supporting devs by paying a few quid for a decent app.

My interest is in having one program that can handle all of my accounts. I have two gmail accounts, a ymail account, a verizon account, and my work account through exchange. I would like to use the stock program through the tablet (Transformer) but it does not have the security. I do not mind the pin, I would like suggestions on a program that would allow the pin and allow the other accounts.

It's already been posted HERE. Please search before you post.
Um. Or I can post about it in this thread since Enhanced Email ended up being the answer to the question I posted and others with the same question who may have subscribed to this thread may want to know it's available. Sorry to say but just because you posted something doesn't mean others are not allowed to post the same thing in other threads especially when they are pertinent to the topic at hand.

New Note 10.1 . FCs a lot

Just got my Note today. Whenever I am using the browser I keep getting a message saying something along the lines of Unfortunately Google.com.android gapps has stopped working.
This is a brand new Note running stick firmware.

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I'd exchange it. Why screw with something brand new?
Yea, what the guy above me said. I've had my note for a month and never once seen what you describe. Definitely exchange if factory reset doesn't sort it out
I agree with the two previous posters. Ive had the note since August as well and I having had any issues.

Did a Google search which maybe I should have done first . It seems to have been caused by syncing Internet on my Google account. Unticked the option, cleared data and all is well .

I believe he meant account syncing, so if you have an app that needs data from your account, it can access it within an interval (certain time) e.g. Google Mail, when you get an email it'll give you a notification telling you that you have one.

Disable Email Security

Has anybody found a way to disable the email security with Microsoft Exchange on the Note 10.1? I tried installing Wanam xposed, but it wouldn't install. Really don't want to have a lock screen just because of my email.

Check out "enhanced email". Some mixed reviews but I like and will keep using it until my IT departments mobile iron implementation shuts me out.

Any client that uses Activesync will force you to accept your IT dept rules. Try Mobimail. This app uses Exchange Web Service which is not subject to the server restrictions. It is a phone style interface but it looks pretty respectable on a tablet. Only down side is it uses its own calendar so it won't integrate with Android calendar widgets. But it does its own calendar notifications so maybe not a big deal.

Need help with Google Voice

Anyone have a clue why when someone sends me or my wife a text via GV, we get texts on both phones ? I looked everywhere and I cant figure out why this is happening. We exchanged phones recently and I completely removed all accounts from both phones and uninstalled GV....in fact Nexus 5 was wiped as well.
edit: we exchanged phones NOT sim cards
may be it has something to do with the hangouts application. Just a wild guess though

what do you mean desktop mode ? If you mean check Google Voice settings then I already did and no one touched them to begin with. They all look normal, my account ONLY has my number and her account ONLY has her number. It worked fine this past Saturday, then we haven't used GV, and after we switched phones I noticed this issue.

Yes he means Google Voice settings on the web (not in your phone):
https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones
When you switched phones, you should have changed your mobile phone registration at that site for each of your accounts.

We switched the hardware, sim cards stayed the same. So its not like I am using her number with my Google Voice account....I am using my sim card with my phone number with my google voice account
PS. calls work fine. Its the texts that go to both phones. If i send a text to her, she gets it and i get notification too, if someone else texts me, she also gets the text.
Check the devices under accounts and see if there's multiple accounts on one phone. You should be able to figure it out on a desktop in Google voice in settings and user accounts. Maybe its linked on a computer with multiple account

Thats the thing, I looked everywhere already. I just reset her Moto X and it seems to work from her phone but not from my N5. Also weird because I reset my N5 before I used it, I guess I have no other choice but to reset it again....what a pain in the ass at almost 11pm.....

Search if there is any application which record the phone activity (via changes) so that you can get the culprit.

If you are on Sprint, make sure you both don't have Google voice integration on their side.

Check if app has sms integerated in default sms app. Than check if the default messaging app is not GV. If not any problem here than its the account for sure. Both your and your wife's phone number got attached to whether your account or hers. Check her GV account settings too. Check which device has priority too.

Which email app are you using?

Oddly, the Samsung email app is not pre-installed, and I don't want to get any more attached to Outlook, which I do use on PC. What about using Gmail app for other than Gmail accounts? I'm leaning toward installed the Samsung one, but any ideas or suggestions?
I recently went down this road after being dumped back into gmail from inbox.
I landed on blue mail. Very solid application and works flawlessly.

I just downloaded the Samsung Email app from the Galaxy Store. Works great for me.
I think I moved away from the samsung app in search of a dark theme. Also worked great though....and no ads like gmail.

What Semantics said x2. I'm a creature of habit, so I downloaded the stock Samsung Email app for my Pop3 accounts.
Thanks, all. I guess I'll just get the Samsung app. Thought I must surely be missing something that it was not there. On a Samsung phone after all!

Be careful. That Dev has a history of privacy concerns. I wouldn't touch that app with a 10 foot pole.
For exchange accounts, I use Nine. It's well worth the money to me, and as a one time purchase it's not even THAT expensive. It also allows me to deny my employer admin rights to my entire phone, just the actual app. Maildroid does this as well. If I wanted a free solution, Outlook, easily.

Used outlook app for a while but.... dark mode.
Nine I use for work, and have for years, but I wanted to keep that separate from personal stuff.

Last I heard the dev was a Russian guy in Brooklyn, NY. Who knows? There are a LOT more email apps out there that don't throw off red flags left and right.
When Google dropped Inbox I tried everything from Newton ( I'm not paying $50 for a year) Spark which iPhone people have been raving about but I was missing important emails while I would get notified for low priority emails.
I tried Blue and it was just OK and now I'm using the Gmail app. I'm not sure why they won't give us a dark mode, I feel like it's out of spite at this point.
I use the Samsung email app for work and it works well, I just don't like to mix work and personal emails on the same client.
