Hey
Is there a way of allowing the watch to approve MS Auth requests?
I get the notification but still have to approve on my phone.

Nope..
Not aware of a way...
It works for me.
I get the buzz, then I can approve on the GW4, never have to touch my phone. For this to work, you have to disable "App Lock" in Microsoft Authenticator settings.
Only works for my work account though. For my Microsoft account, where you have to pick a number, it doesn't.

Only issue with that is then you can't use the password entry feature as that needs app lock

Just got my TC tonight and I cant put it down. I LOVE this device. Ive never had a WM phone before but have played with them without any desire to own one. Well I really like how much can be optimized and configured, and thats not even considering all the tweaks found here.
Anyway, my current issue is that I cant get my yahoo email to work. Now, it could be that Im coming from a Blackberry Curve so my phone package is the blackberry BIS. Would this inhibit me getting my email? If so, do I have to call up ATT tomorrow and get set up on the smartphone program instead?
The POP/IMAP email access requires a normal dataplan... After that the device can configure itself for the mail access (after you enter you email adrdess in the new account creation). But if you want better useability, and more security than you should configure it manually whith IMAP access... if Yahoo! supports it...

I like my BB Curve better. I guess I have way too many things against me as a Mac user also. Its a neat phone but not what I really want.
yahoo/gmail issues
I am having a weird problem. When connected over wifi, yahoo and google connect and download mail like you'd expect.
When connected to 3G or Gprs network google and yahoo fail to connect. The phone tries to make another connection, like it does not know there is already a data connection.
I know my data connection is good at 3G, because I surf the web all day...
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.
Figured it out...
Had to uncheck the "use proxy" setting on the connection profile under "proxy"
To sync with my company's ActiveSync server, I HAVE to check both "Use Secure Connection" and "Accept All SSL Certificates."
However, the latter choice is not appearing in my MAIL setup screen, ONLY the Use Secure Connection checkbox. As such I'm not given access to my work's mail server. I've seen it on almost every Android device... why would it be missing on TBolt?
Sorry... can an admin. please move this to the APPS topic?
Thanks!
I had that same issue and thought it was just me. I'm using Touchdown for now but would love to use the stock exchange one

:\ Once you have root,you could try replacing the mail app from a Sense rom that does have both of these options in the mail app.

Good idea... motivation for me rooting this bad boy.
I think I have only ever seen the "Use Secure Connection" and "Accept All SSL Certificates" options on the stock Android email app. The sense one only has the single checkbox.

No VZW had nothing to do with the mail app...
I am a bit confused by this. My exchange server shouldn't work with Android AT ALL... however due to HTC's ... how shall we say... engineering it works perfectly.
Wonder why you have to select all certificates...
How do we get HTML emails to show up on the stock app? All it gives me are text links.

Mine show up as HTML... not sure what is wrong on yours. Both GMail and Exchange are showing up fine.
I guess I just haven't found what I need to change in the setting yet then. I can be slow and special at times.
Ok, after more investigation, I have have realized that my exchange email is on plain text only, but... the option to change it is grayed out and unclickable. What am I doing wrong? I can't change the option from plain text, and I really don't like it.
It is crippled or at least modified
I'm pretty sure MAIL is crippled or at least modified. If you use MAIL to setup IMAP accounts, it will not let you specify an IMAP path prefix, which is a royal pain for me, since I can't view my sent emails without that IMAP path. That was one of the main reasons I jumped from WinMo to Android! Looks like I'll be rooting sooner than I thought (I've loved the Tbolt as-is until now)
On yours, does it have the option where it is suppose to allow you to check between html and plain text, grayed out? My personal email is fine, it's just the exchange email that is giving me fits. I can change the normal account. Oh, and html worked fine on my D2 with exchange.

Set up fine here, both before and after root with the stock mail app that came with the phone. I do have the choice of HTML or Plain Text and neither is grayed out. I have only one choice for security and it says "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection" which is checked. My admin also pushes a security policy requiring a PIN or password after a 15 minute time out.
To get rid of the exchange security, and get both SSL check boxes, I installed this app.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
It doesn't work with the HTC message widget, but at least it gets you corporate email.
Have you tried telling it proceed? I had the same qualm, and I hit next and it prompted me to accept the certificate even though it was invalid.
Yeah, I have set up the account, and it works fine other than the fact that I can't get HTML emails in anything other than plain text. I go emailapp>menu>more>settings>send/receive>recieve settings and under receive settings the message format is grayed out and unselectable. I know it's not the server, because I had it setup fine on the D2. I have also tried deleting the account and starting over from the beginning, and it still does this. So I don't know what to do to fix it.
Any update on the HTML email issue? I'm rooted, so I can swap the native app with any other other Sense friendly app. It works well in Touchdown, but I prefer to use the native mail app -- it's much cleaner and well integrated. I just REALLY need to see HTML and graphics in my emails.
It used to be fine with my Droid X, so I know that it's not a server policy. It's just broken in the TBolt's native mail app.
thoughts?
I haven't really had the time to investigate further. I've just let it be for now. Semester will be over in two weeks, then I can look more into it.
I added the GMail account through Google option (haven't tried the POP and IMAP).
It syncs fine, but it doesn't do a server search. Whenever I try it, it returns an error saying that it can't connect to the network.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
P.S. And how come there is not even an option to do server search for Hotmail?
Additional data:
- I'm using Samsung Focus with Mango
- device is unlocked, but branded to AT&T (not sure if it has anything to do with Gmail)
- tried both on 3G and WiFi
Thanks!

I have the same problem. It was present in 7712 and still is in the retail release of 7720. I also have a Samsung Focus, but I doubt that is the cause. I'm considering deleting the Google account from the phone and adding it back, but I hate to have to relink all of the contacts whose names are different from Facebook. Considering how Google has blocked non-primary calendars for Windows Phone and their event/invitation implementation is somewhat broken with Windows Phone, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that server search is also a broken feature, whether intentional or not. Has anyone had any success re-creating the Google account on the phone?
i've noticed the same problem! I hope this is just an issue of me just setting up my account wrong

this is seriously annoying
I guess gmail wants us to go android, but I won't. I'm going to add another email account and suffer through. Fortunately for me I don't have a lot of important contacts with gmail.
I reported this to Microsoft a few weeks ago, and they are aware of the issue. I'm thinking it must be on Google's side. When labels come to Hotmail, I may just switch over entirely.
Does anybody know if by setting up an exchange activesync account, the fingerprint scanner can still be used or android reverts to PIN/PASSWORD as is the case now with face unlock & pattern?
I know that Android by default does the latter, but there is a chance Samsung has circumvented it and implemented in a way that Apple does with touch ID-pissing off IT people who would love to be able to disable it.

On current Samsung phones with fingerprint scanner, fingerprint can be used with exchange active sync. But I think your company it administrator could set the security policy to disallow it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G850A
Great, thanks. I just remembered I have kept the MS outlook version that requires no PIn and in case they do set a restricted policy I will use that or the hacked AOSP email client version of it works, then use the scanner to unlock/lock
Can someone who has access to an S6 confirm whether the fingerprint reader is still grayed out like the current Samsung phones? It seems like it is more of a Microsoft issue than a Samsung issue.
Has anyone had a chance to test the fingerprint scanner with a locked down exchange account?
I expect it to behave the same way as note 4. Once exchange policy is enforced the option gets greyed out and cannot be used, have to use a password. I have kept the modded AOSP version of the email app( will have to see if it works on TouchWiz) or use the initial versions of outlook app that do not require a Pin/pass then activate the fingerprint option as security

Doesn't get greyed out for me. I think it depends on your company IT policy.

Yes it works for me. It didn't work with S5 but it works now with s6 :good:.
I have a Note Edge (Kit Kat) and it is greyed out for me.
Is there anything I can do to allow the fingerprint security?
Will upgrading to Lollipop make a difference?
I can confirm that S6 works just fine with fingerprint scanner and Exchange policy enabled. What a relief I think it is more related to revamped version of the E-mail client doing the hack in similar way as iPhones do.

So does that mean it should work with the note edge?

I suggest to check if you have Android 5.0.2 and Email client version 1.0.0.388356 (5.0.2) or above. If it is the case I think you can assume it will work.

You can do it in the App Manager, look for the E-mail app and once you click on it you will see its version number.

Unfortunately it's 4.42 [emoji20]
I have exchange and fingerprint working perfectly together. Using official MS Outlook app.
can anybody with a corporate email account confirm if the fingerprint can be use in the same manner as in the iPhone? or it gets grayed out and you have to use a password instead?
Thanks.
I would like to know the same!

Can confirm this works! It was my biggest pain point on my Nexus 5. It works with Nine, Outlook Preview, Gmail Exchange, Samsung email, and a few others I'm forgetting about.

Yep, currently working with Nine and Samsung Email (I manage the MDM at my work and had to test these.)
Yes it works for me. It didn't work with S5 but it works now with s6 :good:.
Can confirm as well. Do not have to use a PIN anymore/can use fingerprint.
does this work with the default samsung email application that comes stock on the s6 ?
went to the store and tried myself, it does indeed let you use the fingerprint for Exchange email using the stock app.
Hola
OK, I am confused. How did you folks get the fingerprint method to work instead of typing a PIN in Nine email client.
I see no configuration in either Nine client or S6 security settings that allows me to switch from PIN to fingerprint.
I googled and didn't find much.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
