Is there anyway of using Tapatalk on Android without a Tapatalk ID account? On iOS you can do this but on Android there appears to be no way of getting past the home screen without creating an account.

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.

Fyi. Enhanced email is the free app of the day at Amazon.

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.

I'm having g problems when using tapatalk2 when I set xda up if I close out of it and come back it says password is incorrect
I'm being forced to reenter my name and password every time
This also happens on my Onex, and it doesn't effect any other forums I'm currently using vis tapatalk
I'm on the latest release from the play store
Are there any other users with this problem ?
Is there a fix somewhere?

Hi all,
For some reason Google play store is always asking me for my password every time I purchase an app.
This didn't used to happen before so I am wondering if anything has changed?
Thanks

I am also noticing the same and it was not like that before. I am using Jelly Bean. It's annoying when doing in-app purchases from games.
Yeah I am on jellybean to... strange thing is I've been on jellybean for a while and it wasn't like this, it's just a recent thing that's started to happen over there last week. Are you running a custom rom?

Password Prompting?
Yes, started happening on my Nexus 7 and kind of freaked me out thinking it may be someone trying to steal my password via an inapp purchase. Wish we got a notice from Google about changes to the purchasing process.
i used to have that problem all the time. then i rooted my phone and now its good
My tablet is rooted but I am getting it. I was really worried about it thinking it might be a rouge app trying to fool me into giving out my password.
Wish there was some official word on this.

Can't you just deselect it in the play store menu? I can do it on my GN.... If you have kids that use your phone you will appreciate this feature my son has charged some paplinko balls to my account before by not knowing what he was pressing..... that was an unexpected $19.99 charge :/
There is no such setting in Google play store. What you can do is set a pin.

Setting a pin will let you just enter the pin instead of your password- at least it has for me so far

I am the only one who uses my device and its a little annoying. I understand it's an extra layer of security and would be handy if my device got stolen but seeing as it never leaves the house its a bit pointless. Also there is no official word from google about it so I dont know if it is the play store or a rouge app.

I'm sure its new addition to play store my unrooted gnex and nex7 do it. You can also set up a pin too

For me it seemed to coincide with my installing of google authenticator on my phone?
I have NOT set up two-factor authentication on my google account, so it's definitely not that. it's not even what that is anyway, which would be asking for the authenticator code, not account password.
This is SO annoying, is there no way to turn it off?
I was having this same issue, for me rooting my Galaxy S3 and deleting my google account from the settings page, and then re-adding it fixed the issue.
Annoyingly this happens for me as well now on the nexus 4.. But not on my n7 or any other android device.
I believe the cause is Google Apps for me, I was a free apps standard customer and have been for years with no problems using it to sign into my android devices.
Then Google decided to stop supporting free version, although leave it running.. At that point I guess they moved it the business platform as the next day my phone wanted me to install Google device policies to comply with my organisations apps policy. (I've never set that up as you couldn't on free Google apps)
Ever since installing that it's asked for the password, strangely my other devices never asked for it too be installed and they don't prompt for the password.
I'll try removing it and see if that helps.

Has anyone else had success with just setting a PIN? I haven't purchased another app since making the change (this morning).
I am the only one that uses this device (Droid Razr - running JB 4.1.2 - "leaked OTA version") and it's already protected with a lock screen. It would be nice to get this turned off.
I must say I really am irate at this new inconvenience google has placed on me. Why did it suddenly ask me to enter in my (secure, complex, long) password EVERY time I want to simply purchase another app? Is it because I've been using my phone in other countries recently (with exotic IP addresses) and it set some red flag to annoyingly nag me every time now, for the password, in case I'm a thief?
NOT GOOD, GOOGLE.
I've set the PIN to replace my password so at least I don't have to cumbersomely load up the lastpass app and go into my google account entry and manually copy and paste my complex password every time I just purchase an app.
I set a PIN and can use that instead of the password.

I set a PIN but it would not let me use that instead of my password...I still got to type out my whole password each time.
EDIT! Sorry I didnt see the option to use PIN for purchasing! hahaha

Hi
I know why it's generally not a good idea to do this because it would probably mean passwords would have to be stored in plain text on the device, but in this case the trade off in security is absolutely worth it for me!
An app I use regularly demands a password when opened if its been inactive for longer that about 10 minutes - this password is very long so I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut to it so as to make the whole process less of a hassle. What's the best way to do this? My device is rooted.
Cheers!

is this possible?
No android security protocols wont allow it.
So there's no way around it whatsoever?

I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe you can use gestures. You can make a gesture to type out the specific password in
the typing field.

Tapatalk seems to automatically log me out of my forums like XDA and I am forced to re-enter my credentials and login to each forum again, every now and then (twice a day at least).
Anyone with the same issue?
This is my first week with s8+, and before that this issue was not present on my nexus 6P.
