[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] purian23:
Thanks for your response, the only reg i've ever found to disable the lock on my device is the one you posted and built into your xap file. For some reason the reg doesn't exist in my phone and I can't create it either.

Most likely why you put this together for us. But on my end here, I now have to app to my phone, once I go to launch it I get the message from my previous post, it just wont deploy/launch. Any ideas up i'm for trying.!!

Thank you,
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] benneh:
The reg key is protected, so you can't browse to it, but you can still use a tool like advanced explorer to set it by manually specifying the full path and value to change.

I was able to set the value manually like this, but like I mentioned the value is set back automatically next time your phone sync's with exchange. The policy must get checked on every sync with exchange, and gets set back if your exchange server requires a PIN policy.

From what I can ascertain this XAP simply sets that value, so you would have to run this xap after every sync which isn't a great solution.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jazeelkk:
I have tried it as mentioed in some old posts. But it is not working. Only thing I could do is to activate the ON/OFF button with this reg key, so that I can disable the code at any time.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EvilWhiteDragon:
I presume you guys know this already, but just for the heck of it.

You're bypassing a policy. A policy that's most likely you companies' policy. If you do lose your phone and people are able to access files or e-mails that are highly important and/or confidential, you could take the blame for leaking this information.

This could mean the company would sue you for all kinds of things, and it would be very much possible they would fire you. There is a reason the policy is enforced.

I can see why you want to disable the policy, but, as said, there is a reason your company wants that policy on a device that connects to their Exchange server and it's not to annoy you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jazeelkk:
You are right. I recommend to keep the phone locked always.

It meant for some situation, where we need the phone need to be stayed unlocked. Atleast we should have the option for it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] benneh:
Thanks mum. But seriously...

I think this is a perfect example of a security policy being set which isn't realistic, so users find workarounds. Like when you mandate everyone has a 50 character password which has to be changed once a week, everyone simply ends up writing them down on post it notes.

The PIN code every time you want to use your phone is bloody annoying. It could improved to make it more useable, e.g.:

Only require a PIN if it's been more than 30 minutes since you last entered it.

Only require a PIN when accessing data in exchange like calendar/email.

Specify certain actions which don't require a PIN unlock, e.g. playing music or games.

Anyhow this is mostly irrelevant as this hack is only temporary and the setting reverts so that's a killjoy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] timmymarsh:
Lol, you have a point, but or colleague above is quite correct, the policy is enforced for a reason. At my company, such an offense can mean instant dismissal :eek:

(if you use exchange for just calendar and contacts, as i do, a pin is not required to unlock, the policy is only enforced for email strangely enough....)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hyrific:
I agree the Pin should be how it was in WM 6.5 where you could have it only ask after 2 hours or evey 24 in some cases. That way if was a good balance. This business of requiring the PIN every time you look at your phone is crap. I have removed it from my droid device and I am fornunate that my company will not hassle me over it. Still though its a bunch a crap to enter it every 5 minutes.

[Touch HD General] shaggy0001:
so i played with another phone today (desire HD) and found that are beloved phones are missing quite a few games/apps

i held both phones side by side scrolling though the market and noticed that 1 in 8 were missing :mad:

still unsure if it has enything to do the market update or a phone compatibility issue :confused:
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
i believe results are filtered for device compatibility. like on windows mobile marketplace, where you'd receive more results with an old blueangel than with a blackstone, as there were more qvga apps and ones that require a physical keyboard.

when it comes to the desire hd vs. the blackstone, the issue could be the blackstone's lack of multi touch for example. maybe there are some exclusive apps, that wouldn't work without it and to minimize the risk of people buying an incompatible app, they get filtered out in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] serjiolin:
Hello, I am just now experiencing my first Android days. I was wondering, if it's me which cannot understand at all, or some small differences in beheavior of the system depends on the rom. I'm trying now the

MCCM HD 4.5 (Desire HD)

and the

[SD] BOYPPC_SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.4 Sense.s V9 (14.May)

and on the MCCM i just cannot find the settings for the Power Control (to decide how many controls you want on the bar) and, the torch is just switching off by itself if I put the phone in standby. On the Boyppc Rom the flash is keeping on, which I need. On the MCCM I tried also several torch applications but I think it depends on something else, can I get rid of those two things somehow? Thanks!

i tried flashing galaxy tab with 2.3.3 rom downloaded from samfirmware.com but it failed. then i tried flashed 2.2 rom and the result still the same. i read from the net that new firmware have locked bootloader and i suspect my tab bootloader has been locked after tried flashing the 2.3.3 rom. i know that there is patch to unlock the bootloader but it only apply when the tab is turned on. in my case the tab won't boot. is there any chance that there is patch that can be applied via download mode? or any other possible fix?

thanks in advance.

Weird, odin failed at which point ? If it failed then you can't be stuck at boot screen if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tupo05:
Is your tab still able to go to download mode?

If yes. Try flashing 2.3.3 from this forum and follow chainfire instructions. Don't download ROM from samfirmware. Just browse the Dev section and you will find everything you need to flash 2.3.3.

Good luck

Once i'm connected to wi-fi again the phone isn't awake anymore when the screen is off.

Yes, i am really frustrated.....

Motorola still has not learnt the lesson.......

being a loyal and long android user, i always preferred for latest os on my devices .....

being an European android user i always feel ditched with motorola.....

locked bootloader with milestone and worst support from moto.....

and now Asus is able to give custom 3.1 to transfomer users and still Euro xoom owners has no luck to see 3.1 on our stock android xoom.....

how many years do moto need to provide the update where one XDA dev can do it in 1 day???

WTF?

only where i am happy is that we have the support of this greatest community but still ignored and ditched my Moto always.......

i can get 3.1 by unlocking xoom and with support of awesome XDA but moto voids the warranty and they don't want to provide the update themselves....so what is it?

when will Moto learn the lesson or do they deliberately ignore Non-US area?

*if anyone feel that my frustration is meaningless and moto is great, always welcome to delete this thread....sorry and thank you
[Xoom General] alchemist316:
I don't have MOTO but 4 of my friends do I can see the frustration even in the atrix users due to being locked up tight I'm sure many devs feel the same in there forum .

That's why I took my frustrations to the company direct HTC but I know thousands have to MOTO with no response it seems people say they will u lock end quart 4 this year maybe .. I think you can try your best to get them to do something I support anyone who wishes to make these huge companies see the consumer is what is most important ..

Xda is amazing I've been using 2.3.3 or a ginger based rom for a while people on HTC fb still asking for ota updates for the EVO 4g ..

So either keep on going after MOTO or hope the devs can make something happen..

Oh and nothing will happen till you get them to really hear your voice best of luck ..

[Xoom General] UKseagull:
My situation:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Still no UK price or confirmed spec, desperately waiting for some news on this. Have a feeling that it's going to be too expensive but who knows?

Motorola Xoom

Love the build quality and that's got my interest, not sure that I'll be satisfied with the display. There appears to be limited Euro support (bad Motorola!) and not so much activity in the dev section for Euro Xooms. Quite expensive.

Asus Transformer

Ex TF owner due to what I consider poor build quality, but I still haven't dismissed buying another so long as I can get a good one. Good spec, decent price in comparison. Asus appear to be quite supportive with updates, dev section looks quite active.

What to do!
[Xoom General] chowdarygm:
Galaxt tab 10.1v in stocks in germany for 500 euros.....200 euro cheaper than xoom

[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
It is kind of odd bc Samsung seemed to be the opposite when I was with them.
[Xoom General] Philio25:
The update has only been available in the states for 5 minutes, so what's the big deal?

Also as the stock Android device, isn't Google responsible for the Xoom updates, not Moto?

It's the same process of all manufacturers to roll out updates by region.

It could be a lot worse, take Samsung for example, it took them about 7 months just to roll out Froyo to their Galaxy S handsets, then another 6 months for Gingerbread.
[Xoom General] gogol:
My European HTC Desire is still using Froyo:(
[Xoom General] chowdarygm:
to everyone.... one thing i don't understand here....

motorola talk about difference in hardware and software based of regions bla bla bla bla.... how the hell Apple is able to rollout anything for every apple device at once.....i dont understand the point here.......can anyone explain me?

i read on moto forums that its google's fault in not releasing 3.1 for euro xoom and moto has not to be blamed!!!!!!!!! WTH

how is samsung and acer are able to already customise it and release it???

stupid reasons ....

i am starting to loose my patience now seeing how moto is treating and telling meaningless reasons....
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
The 3G US Xoom update has been out for 2 weeks now. The big deal is the update includes fixes for long lists of bugs for 3.01, which is not the most stable OS to start with. I don’t want my Xoom running on older and buggier software for any length of time more than necessary.

As a customer, I don’t care who is responsible for the update. I expect my device to be update in a timely manner like IOS/Windows desktop. If Motorola/Google cannot deliver on this, than I’ll simply choose a different manufacture or operating system for my next device.

Those updates are for new operating system, like you said Eclair and Gingerbread. We are talking about an update within Honeycomb, so its not a fair comparison.

Bottom line, I'm also frustrated with no 3.1 update outside of US, and no time line on when we will get it.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Did Motorola say that?

You bought the XOOM from Motorola, so no matter what... Motorola is responsible for the update!
[Xoom General] FtL1776:
Xoom in Europe is different, its GSM not CDMA like the US.

The iPhone argument does not hold water either. The Verizon iPhone doesn't have 4.3 which has been out for months, the difference between the two phones is the same as the difference between US and non US, the radio.
[Xoom General] chowdarygm:
if it is only the radio, is it that difficult to change those lines of code and and send the update? how was it achieved very simply by our own devs in a day without access to advanced tools........

sorry guys, i am so frustrated now coz, my SGS2 is able to play 720p and 1080p butter smooth where as i am struggling to do basic things with moto 700 euro brick :mad:.....
[Xoom General] KingKuba13:

I'm a french user, got a Xoom Wifi only (MZ604), and i'm also hoping for a 3.1 update soon...

[Xoom General] andyiacovou:
I bought a Xoom and once I heard the update to 3.1 had been released I naively thought great, it will be available in the UK any day. I wrote to Motorola asking them when it may be available and got the stock reply that there is no schedule for Euro release as yet. That's pretty useless. This is the flagship Honeycomb device and they can't evn be bothered to provide global updates.

If the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is released in UK with 3.1 before this gets the update, I will dump the Xoom and buy that. I will then never buy a Moto product again...
[Xoom General] zoum79:
Xoom is a very unstable and unfinished product, Motorola and Google can't care any less, the release of the update, which actually only deals with some of the isuues and brings new ones, has been a mess and support is not heard of. I personally don't think this device has any bright future.

Please help us getting this message out to people thinking about buying a tablet.
[Xoom General] Philio25:
If this is the case (I've not used Android 3.1, so can't comment on this), then really it's not Motorola who will suffer, but Google and Android tablet manufacturers as a whole.

Even if it is the case that some manufacturers (Samsung, ASUS for example) do release 3.1 based tablets soon, they will likely exhibit the same bugs. Can you really see them working on OS patches (especially considering the short time frame)? Simple answer, no.

I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude that Xoom bugs = OS bugs = ALL 3.x based tablets effected.

I also think the very similar hardware (e.g. all running Tegra) across the different manufacturers also supports this theory.
[Xoom General] poisike:
I have a US WIFI only Xoom and i'm really happy with it. I did my home work before i bought it, it seems only US Xoom's are Google experience devces and thats what i want.

Now i would like to buy a tablet with 3G... I love the Xoom but the EU 3G version only has 3.0.1 and i don't want to go back. US 3G version won't work in Europe, so i really don't have any options here.

It seems my only option is Samsung Galaxy Tab. I have never been a fan of Samsung products, i don't like Touch Wiz... but if their tab will have 3.1 then i'm probably going to buy it.
[Xoom General] tvoben:
Ive got 3.1

Well.. On my Xoom Motorola pushed the update 2-3 weeks ago..

But since i live in sweden and motorola isnt present in the Scandinavian market i had to buy it from the US, hence my update i guess:confused:
[Xoom General] zoum79:
I understand that some people are happy with their Xoom, it depends on various factors including the level of use, the model, the combination of apps, etc.... I realise after reading the forums that there are differences in stability between the different models, and even individual devices, which makes me think of the level of fragmentation we ended up with. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if the experience with other Honeycomb devices is better.

I personally consider myself an advanced user having had pdas and smartphones of different makes and models for more than 20 years, and my verdict is that many people are and will be disappointed with the Xoom and time is running out for Motorola and Google to fix things as am dure Motorola is busy finalising the successor, you can call it Xoom 2, and google is busy finalising Icecream Sandwich.
[Xoom General] Ferasu:
I feel your frustration, living in Saudi Arabia (considered part of EU market) has blocked many features which are only available in the US and some parts of the world. But honestly I couldn't careless if we can get all the updates from the great XDA peeps and other communities.

For example the paid tablet Tegra II THD games, which you can't buy, I'm downloading from other free apk websites (proudly) because I have been trying to pay for these apps for months and they wouldn't let me.

Google is partially blamed for ignoring non-US market base, specially when the device is a supported model like the moto.
