[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veljin:
Okay guys a little Update

I didnt notice any change in behaviour of my 2g/3g with the new Radio ROM so far.

But something interesting happened

After I charged my phone full ( 99% ) I went into recovery and had 101% percentage of battery left.

Then i wiped the batterystats and restarted the phone and i was at 99% again.

And since then its on 99% - going trough the whole day without loosing a single percent? Dafuq?

I also tried to restart it and went into recovery - everytime and everywhere 99%.

Its also stuck on the following stats: 3923 mV and 24.6° for days ( but i didnt care since the % worked fine untill yesterday )

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] servabat:
.... :o

Does your phone run out of battery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veljin:
Well since it showed the same battery percentaged in Recovery i was quite worried it would run my new battery below 3400 mV and so I removed the battery out of the phone for a couple a minutes and restarted everything... then it showed 30%..

Kinda weird? Guess something crashed or didnt load properly in the kernel? Guess we will never know :D

More information about batterylife in 24 hours (:

so after combing through the forums and removing drivers and readding them, even tried using different version of kies and different version of the samsung drivers, and nothing.

samsung mobile usb composite device - ready to use

usb mass storage device - ready to use

samsung mobile usb modem - ready to use

samsung lte usb device - ready to use

samsung lte usb card ussb device - ready to use

i should have samsung adb drivers listed there, but nothing. i can't get my phone to go into debugging mode, therefore i can't root. someone please help. do i have to do a factory reset? anyone having same issues as i am? i even tried on different computers and nothing. what am i doing wrong? when running zerg rush, it just hangs and limbos without doing anything. any help would be appreciated.

[HTC Rezound] vprasad1:
I asked this in XDA Android Q&A; posting to this Rezound Q&A as well in case there are any Rezound specific options that can be explored:

I've been debating configuring my personal phone to access my employer's Exchange server; I would be checking it on occasion-- more of a convenience thing to know what's up before I head in for the day.

Using the default Android Mail client and choosing ActiveSync and doing the setup, I inevitably reach a screen with the following:

Needless to say, this is highly unappealing for my personal phone-- way too much power for the Mail application.

So my questions-- what are my options?

-would a different Exchange connectivity application like Touchdown request those same permissions for access?

-would I be better off setting up ActiveSync on an alternate ROM and booting into that when I want to check work mail (not as frequently as some other users)?

-How far does that remote wipe control extend? Could they wipe the entire phone, including bootloader? Or is it just reference to internal storage? Could they wipe the external SD card?

-is there a way to revoke those permissions from the Mail application while retaining the ability to connect to the Exchange server?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
It is designed to protect corp data. If you don't want your personal phone under that control, then don't connect it. That is the choice you have.

Nope. The policy is from the Exchange servers policies.

Not sure how you would do this.

When you connect, if they have issued the wipe command, it wipes. Distance is not relative. Wipe is wipe.

No. they could have a different policy setup for different groups of users and have you into that group, but you would have to ask the administrator though.

The exchange policies are part of the requirements of connecting to that exchange server. The policies can be changed by the administrator by putting you into another group, but I doubt they will do that. They are there to protect corp data.

There are other ways that policies can be setup, but that needs to be done again by the administrator.

These types of policies are becoming more and more common as companies realize their contacts, email and attachments are valuable and need to be protected. A lot of people use two phones, one for corp and one for personal, not mixing the two.
[HTC Rezound] gthing:
Remote wipe and all is a feature of activesync, not necessarily exchange. So, according to what I'm reading, you can find an email client that supports exchange but not eactivesync and get around the permissions.

I am also interested in how far the wipe can extend. It says reset to factory, which would leave your SD card intact.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
As far as I am aware, the Exchange server CAN initiate a full wipe, if your company is on Exchange 2010. The wipe command can be found in OWA settings. The only way you can get around the permissions is to login to OWA via your browser. The security settings are there for a reason, as mentioned above.

Microsoft works very hard with its partners to provide the best security possible. I do not think using Touchdown or another email client will allow you to circumvent security policies enforced by the Exchange server.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I use TouchDown for my work e-mail, and while I have never had any administrators use remote wipe, I will let you know my experiences:

-There is an option in the settings screen for "Clean SD card on remote wipe." It's unchecked by default. I assume a remote wipe will only clear TouchDown related data, but am not 100% sure of it. At the very least this option implies that it won't normally wipe your SD card as well.

-TouchDown will ask for the same permissions. However, unlike the default mail application, which will force your whole phone to be pin locked, TouchDown will only force you to enter a pin when you open the application. This feature is nice if you don't want to always enter in a pin to unlock your phone but also want Exchange e-mail.

-As the policies are set on the ActiveSync server, there's no way to get around revoking the permissions.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
If you search for it enough, you can probably find a modified mail app that doesn't require these security permissions. I know I've seen one that works with CleanRom and I use it on ICS Business Sense. No lockscreen pin required either and no device administrator.

[HTC Rezound] GordonFreemanK:
Just created the account to reply to this thread.

I am too looking for a solution to avoid giving my employer the access rights to wipe my phone, and I just wanted to comment that IMO, theorically it is not because this setting is on server side that it can't be avoided.

Android can give whatever permissions the server asks for then totally ignore the commands when they eventually come. That would probably require some coding to simulate executing the command without actually doing it, and it would definitely require root access to do this, but I do not see how that would be impossible on Android or on one of its mods.

Now obviously this is not something I'm going to waste time on. if it can't be done, my pro account will not be on my phone. That was me trying to do something for my employer, but if they don't want me to see my mails on weekends, I won't be fool enough to complain.
[HTC Rezound] brucekr:
I'm in a similar situation. With ICS, at least it gave me the ability to only have to enter a PIN after 15 minutes or something when your phone is locked. Prior to that with GB, every screen unlock required the PIN.

I do use a modified Mail.apk, but in a sense, I'm contributing to the problem of my company not allowing android phones on their network, because there are just so many workarounds like this.
[HTC Rezound] sirtom1:
LBE Security Guard may be able to inhibit the permissions, though I wouldn't want to have to depend on that as a last line of defense right before my device is potentially WIPED!

There has to be some better solutions to control it on the client side...
[HTC Rezound] sirtom1:
My admins at work say they will not change the exchange policy.

They said it comes with Exchange Server 2010 as the default settings, but they won't change it. They have actually tested the remote wipe and it works instantly. They claim they can remote 'unwipe' it as well, but I gave an analogy about formatting drives (quick format vs. full format) that they couldn't answer.

I told them I'm concerned about anyone having that much power over personal "BYOD" phones, and the possibility of someone accidentally or maliciously wiping my device.

They said the policy will not be changed.

Does anyone know of other 3rd party mail OR calendar programs that will update my calendar without allowing these INSANE permissions? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] worldheroes:
I've recently bought a new phone and found these ridiculous permissions when I went to sync with my work exchange.

There must be apps available or possible to develop because the email app on my old phone doesn't ask for these permissions. Unfortunately it isn't available to download, just the default app with that phone.
[HTC Rezound] sirtom1:
There are several mail programs in the Google Play store, if you search for 'exchange email'

I saw:

k-9 mail

touchdown

exchange exmail

maildroid

and so on...

k-9 had the best ratings and is open source so I tried it, but it couldn't connect to my exchange server. I got an error during setup:

'Setup could not finish, cannot connect to server. (ioexception)'

Please let me know if you have better luck with any exchange program!
[HTC Rezound] Daistaar:
The best choice for you is to install OWA from the play store (outlook web) and that will get you contacts, push mail and calendars without having to accept the exchange policies. All you have to do is point it to your companies webmail page and login.
[HTC Rezound] sirtom1:
I searched for OWA in the Play store but didn't find the one you mentioned. (see attachment) Is it a free app?
[HTC Rezound] Daistaar:
I have the first one by WWO. It gets the job done. 5 bucks well spent. I'm sure it can be side loaded if you'd like to test the functionality first.

Another option is using a IMAP/EWS gateway as davmail (davmail.sourceforge.net).

[MENTION=2787279]vprasad1[/MENTION]

Just ask you company to pay for touchdown licence if they want you to have access to email. If you use modified email clients with removed security that may get you fired. It is simple is that. In exchange 2010 they can still see you connected without policies if they want to do audit. I didn't want my phone to be controlled by my corp and I didn't want to carry 2 phones either, so they bought multi pack from touchdown.
[HTC Rezound] kjetilho:
am I safe when using calendar only?

sorry about resurrecting an old thread...

I'm using k9mail and IMAP for connecting to our mail server, but use the built-in ActiveSync support for the calendar. (the server is actually running Zimbra, but implements the same protocol and remote wipe functionality as Exchange.)

when I go into Security -> Device Administrators there is only one entry, for Android Device Manager. as I understand it, that is for remote admin via Google Play. is there supposed to be another entry for the Exchange administrator? I'm hoping I'm let off the hook since I don't use ActiveSync for e-mail ... but I don't dare ask my admin to try it out :)

(I mostly trust my admin — it's just the principle of the thing.)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dannar:
I returned my nook back in January, but it seems that things habe actually progressed here, despite the locked bootloader. My mother wants a tablet now, and we're talking about something...cost effective.

What has been accomplished here with this device? Do you still need to make manual hardware modifications in order to make this thing useful?

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] carnagecjb:
Admittedly, a lot will depend on your own technical prowess, but I grabbed one of these this weekend (after debating the purchase for a couple of weeks).

About an hour after I got home (it took a bit for me to find the relevant links), I had CWM on an SD card, booted it, installed CM7 to the internal memory, and have everything happy and shiny.

I, personally, haven't had any problems, but YMMV.

With that in mind, it is also possible to install & run CM7 from a SD card, without changing anything.

(All this is based on the 16G model, I can not speak for the 8G.)

I can also say that the original Nook Color works very well with CM7, and is marginally cheaper. The color has the advantage of working bluetooth, and has none of the "issues" that are current in CM7 (trouble waking wifi, for instance)...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Yep, there is plenty you can do. As carnagecjb stated, the easiest way to got the most functionality out of the device would be to run CM7 from an SD card.

Although there's a lot of other options from simply rooting Barnes & Noble's stock ROM to flashing CM9 Alpha to get a taste of ICS!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Temetka:
The device can be easily rooted using the tips found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630

If you want to install CM 7, you can do that also:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826

Keep in mind CM7 is still Alpha. But there are also Alpha builds of ICS. It seems the main issue holding things up is hardware accelerated video.

Honestly, if I were in your shoes I'd go for the root method and give her a nice launcher. Enable full market access by modifying build.prop and she should be good to go. Make sure that you apply the OTA block as described in Albert's thread so future BN firmware updates wont break root / market access.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
The thing holding up CM9 right now is that they are working on getting a fully working 3.x kernel to go with it and they are slowly working on that.

What are the options for rooting the 8GB NT, since it will not boot if a SD card is inserted?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Louer Adun:
AIDE is an Android based IDE for development of Android applications. I checked it out this weekend and it is a pretty amazing tool. I tried out their Hello World app which seemed to compile just fine, and then got to work importing some of my projects from eclipse.

Some of my projects worked just fine, but I ran into some errors on my other projects that make use of the Google Maps API.

I was wondering if anyone else has been able to successfully compile/run an android app using AIDE that includes the android Google Map classes. I was able to manually add the maps.jar library to my application, but that resulted in the following error: "Class ref in pre-verified class resolved to unexpected implementation".

This is actually a common error in eclipse and is generally encountered when there is more than one reference to the maps.jar library, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it in AIDE.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Would also like to see what everyone's opinion is of AIDE. I think it will be a great tool for developers (assuming I can get it working for all my projects).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Louer Adun:

It already works! Copy the .jar files from you android-sdk/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google_inc_-15/libs into your project/libs, and add the following lines to your .classpath:

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/effects.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/maps.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/usb.jar"/>

I still got a problem with loading of maps, but you won't see any errors, even compiling and running the .apk works.
