Hi all. Android noob here. I just got a Droid 3 with Android 2.3.4. I used to have Windows Mobile. #shameface
I'd like to ask how I can block remote wipe via Corporate Exchange sync, while still allowing wipe from apps such as Kapersky Internet Security if I lose my phone.
Yes I've Googled it and searched these forums, but there's too much information for me to make sense of it. Also I don't know if this is an Android issue or a device-specific issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am a system administrator for my company and i am considering switching from windows mobile devices to android devices in our company.
What i am looking for is people who use or have used there android with exchange.
This is mandatory in our company.
The phone needs to be able to sync Email, Contacts and Calendar with MS Exchange.
Are there people who can confirm that
- this works.
- what is your experience.
- Does is work like on a windows mobile device?
- Does it run smooth
- are there any complications.
- Is there anything that needs to be done server side (i assume not)
Any information would help.
Also i would like to know,
From the 3 android phones that are now available (g1, magic & hero)
Seeing that they are all HTC made, do they all have the htc exchange support implemented?
And if not, which ones don't support it, and is there an alternative solution for it?
Thank you in advanced.
Alex

So I've gone through a total of 6 Palm Pre's & Sprint allowed me to choose a different device, so I just picked up a Hero...
The problem is, of course, lack of simple pin & remote wipe support for ActiveSync, so I am unable to use my corporate email on the device. I have tried using TouchDown & that doesn't even work. It seems that my work may have a filter I was told by support for TouchDown(I work for a large technology company, so IT policies are very strict).
My question, is there any way, by rooting or whatnot, to get my device to support ActiveSync fully? Or a way of somehow fooling EAS into thinking I have a simple pin setup & remote wipe available?
I really wanted to start using an Android device, but shoot, if i can't even get my work email on it, its pretty pointless...
Thanks alll!

Thought 2.1 took care of those security issues. Only other option is touchdown in the market, it works with complex security options.

Ok so I just got an email that team viewer released a beta version for android. Sorry can't post the link not enough posts. My problem is that it is a direct download through the browser. When I go to install my phone will not allow me to install because it wasn't downloaded through the app market. Is there anyway around this besides rooting my phone. I have a stock phone. The teamviewer page says this
"Installation notes
You can download and install the App using your Android web browser. Due to this direct download and installation you will have to enable the following option in Android once: Settings - Application settings - Unknown sources (enable)
I cannot find this setting. I am pretty sure that I will have to root my phone to do it I just wanted conformation. Thanks in advace for your help.

hi i dont know about the samsung devices, but on htc devices its no problem. i forgot to set the setting too. but when i try to install, there was a popup coming up with a options button, to actiavt it.
but in the normal settings menu its settings-applications- check unknown sources
i tried it out, its pretty smooth. i like it
you can download the apk from their website onto pc, then install via sideload
http://teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx#downloadAreaiPhone
so the use for this would be that i can control my desktop pc from my phone? can i transfer files and such?

On the desktop versions you can. Not sure about this beta though. Been waiting FOREVER for this though. I use TeamViewer almost exclusively, but I've been using LogMeIn cause they have an Android client. But screw them now!
Oh and btw jd1peters, AT&T has disabled that option from our phones. If you want to enable sideloading, search the forums for enabling non-market apps.
No need to root. Just download the apk and install with android sideload wonder machine.

@ OP, you're awesome for bringing this up. Been waiting for this forever 8)
edit: anybody else getting the error" connection failed because your partner's Teamviewer is too old. Version 6 or higher is required to connect." There isn't even a version 6 on the desktop client.
second edit: looks like they have the v6 beta for computer clients on their website.

Yeah, you can control your desktop from your phone. IMO Teamview is one of the fastest and easiest ways to connect two computers together, all you need is the client software installed. So much less of a headache than going through and setting up the numerous VNC programs available.
As a quick note, one really important setting on the Android side is whether to optimize for speed or quality. I think it defaults to automatic, but depending what you're trying to do, you may want to set it to be one way or the other to improve performance.
Alright so I'm running Honeycomb running off sd. I ran the automated scripts in adb to add market and gapps. Whenever I try to open market or gmail I have to add an account. I try to add my account and it comes up an error saying I dont have a data connection like I'm trying to use a phone... Any advice?
Bump because I'm desperate for any help...
Im having similar issues with the Froyo version.
There are several of us asking the same question over in the developer forum and not getting a response there either. I will watch both sides of the discussion and when an answer comes, I will try to pass it along.
It seems like a number of us are facing the issue, but we have not captured the attention of anyone who can help us fix it. But I am sure an answer will come.
Just for clarity sake, at least in my situation, I do have internet connectivity and can use the browser in HC to surf, but the google apps cannot get a connection to sign in to my existing google account.
Any fixes out there?
Mark me down as another sufferer. Glad to know it isn't just me!
Froyo - works correctly
Honeycomb - no connection error while browser connects just fine

Your device has reset and the system is looking for a cell connection. If you re-image the device and come up via a WiFi connection, it should work,
I have the same problem whenever I clear the cache on the market, and force stop google frameworks, and clear data. I have to reinstall after running these steps, which used to fix it.
Could this be a fingerprint issue? I am using the recommended fingerprint from the nookdevs.com site. (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2.1/FRG83D/75603:user/release-keys )
I too have had an issue like this if I clear the cache from the market. I tried to point this out in the dev forum, but I wasn't able to since it is my first post. (I mostly lurk...)
I just noticed this reply in the developer forum. ADB isn't working for me, so I can't test it.

Ok, I was having this problem but adb shelling in and issuing all of those setprop commands to set the operator to t-mobile did in fact restore my market access.
Hey guys, girls, elders, and infants. Got a friend that needs a new phone. She's currently using my old LG Pheonix, but her church requires a family filter and the Phoenix is too old, none of them support it. So. Can anybody recommend a filter for the S4 Active? Or the regular S4, she isn't totally sure which she is gonna get yet. What I'm looking for is a filter that is confirmed working on this device. Thanks All!!!

Usually when a company dictate rules for use of phone the same company also provide the phone. Lock screen pin and encryption has been basic Android features for some years, remote wipe through Exchange account admin or Android Device Manager likewise if device is lost. Content can be synced to Cloud storage and even encrypted there from any Android.
The usage of a service is an agreement based on mutual trust.
