I added an my work email to my phone (exchange account). After filling out all the credentials it notified me that in order to be able to access this account I need to authorize Exchange server permissions to be able to remotely wipe my phone in case it is lost. If I remove the account from my phone does that mean that my employer still has the capability to access my phone? Is there still some security certificate or permissions that I need to get rid of?

Hi,
I borrowed my friends SIM to activate my MYTOUCH phone. During activation, it said this GMAIL account is now linked to this phone. problem is it is HIS gmail account, not mines.
Is there a way to change the email to my gmail address?
Or is the only way to RESET the phone?
thanlks
I'm on an eclair rom right now but there should be an option in your settings called "sync" or something like that where you can add a gmail account and once you add one you can delete the other. Why did you need to borrow someone's SIM to activate the phone? Wouldn't that activate it on that service instead of your own? What are you gonna do when there's no wireless for you to use?

Yes, depend on rom installed. Try this , is you use a rom basef on Eclaire, or something similar in other cases.
Settings-Privacy settings-Factory data reset. Atention that erase all your data stored un phone (contacts etc)
Well, that's weird. Why did you put in your friend's email address? Should've been able to put in your email address even with his SIM.
I found the solution:
going into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> gmail, gmail storage & google apps and clear cache and data. then reboot the phone and see if it prompts you to enter a gmail account.
Once i deleted DATA, i was able to create new gmail account!
When I set my personal Gmail account on the phone (LG Optimus 7) there's no problem. Phone unlocks normally. But as soon as I add my work Gmail account (the company uses Google Apps) the phone requires me to set a pin password to unlock the phone. I'm on the IT team and I can confirm that there's no policy set to enforce password protection on mobile devices.
My Nexus S doesn't require this either. So what could be happening on my WP7? And more importantly, how can I disable the password protection?
I can tell you how to override the password requirement (it's a policy stored in the registry; I'll need to look it up) but the server may push that policy down again at any time. I don't know how to make it read-only. The policy setting comes over the Exchange ActiveSync protocol; that's probably why the Android phone (which presumably uses a different protocol to talk to Google services) doesn't get that setting.
Mind you, if you have company email on your phone and *aren't* requiring a password, there's something dearly wrong with your company's IT staff, but I guess that's another subject...
I have an odd Email issue. I turned on my phone and found a message saying that "Backup server detected an account change" it then deleted my legitimate @live.com email from the stock mail app and added [email protected] in its place. I now go to accounts in the system menu and behold, there is this new account that is not mine. It will not let me remove it either because it says it is needed by the system and can only be removed with a factory reset.
I also have backup assistant disabled and i am unsubscribed from it on verizon's end, so I don't know what backup server it is talking about.
I am stock, no root yet.
I am having a lot of trouble with the stability of the Credential Storage on the Shield Tablet. Specifically, with storing and accessing .pfx client certificates for corporate mail.
=Summary=
When I initially load a .pfx file and unlock it with the correct password, it lets me connect to the Active Sync mail service. After the initial sync things begin to go bad.
=Steps to Reproduce=
1. Go to any ActiveSync compatible mail client (9folders, Stock Android mail client) and add a .pfx certificate.
2. Go through the account set-up process and add the account.
3. Let the app perform the initial sync.
4. Begin making changes to mail status in the app (delete mail, mark read).
5. Force a refresh and observe results.
=Actual Results=
After the initial mail sync, the client certificate associated with the mail client is wiped from the profile. This happens in stock android email (Corporate Mail) and 9Folders.
The message "No Connection" displays because the mail client certificate is wiped from the profile, and the mail client doesn't have blessing to connect to the server.
=Expected Results=
The client certificate remains in force after the initial sync event, and continues to work as expected.
=Additional Info=
I have, on several occasions now, deleted the entire credential storage, and restarted the tablet, then re-added the same certificate again.
The same behaviour consistently happens over and over again. It is like something is going wrong with the credential storage in the build the Shield Tablet is using.
This has been an issue since I first got the tablet, and has not be resolved with the recent update to Stock 440 build.
For the record, the app I was using for corp mail implemented their own credential store, which fixed the immediate issue.
Having exact the same problem on a LG G2 Mini (NVidia Tegra). With e-mail client you used?
My family is not very savvy with computers/phones.
my mom has a Samsung galaxy S4 from a while ago and had her email setup for her on the phone (outlook/Hotmail). however, she has forgotten her password and cannot reset it because (stupidly) she had set the alternative email address to be of another email account that she has no access to!
The emails work fine on the phone though.
question is, is there a way to extract the email password on the phone? is there another way to change the email password without knowing the original password (i.e password reset)?
thank you.
