Others are noticing ..

Once we have /system write access this is an easy fix to eliminate.

Article writers missed that point though...

To be fair, this is SOP for any business that allows users to connect their phones to their corp e-mail...

I didn't watch the video, but I assume he didn't connect his phone to his work and download the policy?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Even BlackBerry makes you type in a confirmation. The wake gestures on this phone make it very easy to do in your pocket or bag.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] l7777:
I don't think this is related to exchange, I think it's any lock screen. I use a pattern lock screen and it is the same. I've also turned off the gesture wake options.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Then it's a bigger ouch! We will be able to kill it once we get better root action.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
This annoyed the crap out of me. I travel constantly with my phone and if it gets wiped during travel (and losing pictures and documents), that would equal me being fired from my job. My companies exchange server enforces security, which is a good thing, but then I have this device wipe thing hanging on my mind. On other devices, I can simply turn off this absolutely retarded option.

I had the same problem on the HTC M7. Luckily it can be disabled with root.

Anyway, once we get a proper root, you can set the failed attempts = 0 in an system xml file and then you will be good to go.

Edit this file:

/system/customize/ACC/default.xml

change this:

<item type="integer" name="devicepolicy_max_fail_passwords_for_wipe">10</item>

to this

<item type="integer" name="devicepolicy_max_fail_passwords_for_wipe">0</item>

Reboot and its disabled.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] muffnman:
Exchange servers are known to push security policies which sometimes can hamper user experience and in some cases overstep the boundaries of BYOD setups in workplaces.

Using NitroDesk TouchDown for a few years now, allows an activesync connection to my work exchange server, but doesn't pull group policy to overtake my phone. I highly recommend it.. (man, that sounded like an ad)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
Be aware the wipe on 10 attempts isn't an exchange policy. Some exchange policies can force a PIN or a password, but thats it.

HTC, as of recently on their devices, has mandated the wipe on 10 policy once any type of security is set (whether that is a PIN or a pattern or a password) regardless of exchange policy.

Whether its because of exchange or your own setting, any security lock enabled on the phone will trigger the wipe on 10 policy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oglop:
hi all do you have any problems after the update ? after 2 months ... can't bear it any more. day 1 since the kitkat update, the settings are not persistant, every time i click on a link, the choose default browser dialog pops update, even if i choose chrome as default one.it happens on all the apps, no apps can store settings now, after reboot , the settings are gone. ( is this because the app developer has to update it to make it work on kitkat ?)

and wifi settings are not remembered after the update. each time i reboot, i have to readd my company wifi to it ( the wifi i added before kk update is persistant though ).

is this related to the "no more write permission to sdcard"? and rooting is the only choice ?

i'm on NB1 firmware ... ( seems the Universal Root de la Vega v0.5 doesn't support(without tripping knox) this version ...)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oglop:
found out why ... after uninstall the crap app TAOBAO, it's working now .... ( even the default media player is working, all the default applications are working, previously, none of them works, the choose default app dialog pops up whatever i do.)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Don't have that app, am encountering the same issue with the 'open with' menu. But only for a select few apps.

I'm starting to supect it's only doing it for the apps I restored with Helium... Will test that theory later.

Have gotten complaints from numerous people about the WiFi settings as well, not affected by that one personally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oglop:
the way i found that app TAOBAO is the culprit is i installed "Default App Manager" from google store, and trying to use it to set default apps, but it's not working either. though it shows TAOBAO as one of the "open with browser default settings" app.

Magazine UX is probably the Flipboard engine, modified to launch a couple of Samsung Apps.

At least it will look and behave Flipboard-like, which can get annoying soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
When it was announced M-UX was a replacement UI, was set as the default home page, came with three pages of M-UX content installed out-of-the-box, and had a ton of live widgets and the ability to add a tile (shortcut) to launch any installed app.

From the Verge in January...

The new tablets feature Samsung's new home screen layout called Magazine UX. The layout offers tiles of apps and information that users can customize and configure. Three preset pages are offered by default, though users can customize up to five pages with apps and news widgets. The whole system feels very similar to the LiveTile system in Windows 8.1 and is a bit more approachable for new users than the typical home screen. Ironically, the power users that Samsung is targeting with the Pro tablets will likely find the Magazine UX too constricting and limiting.​

Since then it's been renamed from "M-UX" to "Content Home," reduced to a single home page that's no longer the default (standard TW is), half the widgets shown at MWC are gone, and so are the tile app shortcuts. My guess is that it's been neutered as part of the cooperation agreement signed between Google and Samsung. Samsung Hub which was a content competitor to Google Play is also now gone on the Pro's.

To your point, what's left pretty much is a more flexible version of My Magazine that allows you to choose and re-arrange what news and social content is displayed on the page. Based on what it's ended up being I won't be upset if our update doesn't include it.

Someone might want to look at it, but my suspicion is no. There are big enough nuances with the versions of the variants that I wouldn't recommend it without the okay from one of our respected devs.

Sent from M8 on XDA Premium APP
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Agreed:thumbup:

It's one thing to flash a ROM that isn't specific to Sprint. It's another to flash a RUU, which includes firmware, Hboot, etc. I don't believe it would be a good idea.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varxtis:
My buddy whos on our family plan needs to downgrade from a Galaxy S III to a basic phone. I came across an Unlocked AT&T Samsung SGH-A157. When I called Verizon they used a blanket statement of "AT&T uses completely different technology than verizon, so their phones won't work on Verizon". I tried to explain that it's Unlocked and is CDMA based, so it should allow the sim card if I understand things correctly. He said "It doesn't matter if it's unlocked, AT&Ts technology is different then our." When I asked what technology exactly is different, he replied "Everything". He lost ALL credibility with that me for that statement. I constantly run into crap like this with Verizon... everything else is inferior, and only Verizon exists in the universe. Also, one MUST have what that absolutely don't need and we WILL lie to you and trick you into buying it or signing up for it even if you disagree!

Anyway. Is there any truth to this guys statement? I thought the whole point of "Unlocking" a device /phone was to make it work on another network.

Do I legitimately have to restrict my search for a Verizon flip/basic phone?

This brings up another concern because the plan was to get him a phone, deactivate his current Galaxy S3, activate the Unlocked phone, Unlock the Galaxy S3, and then sell it to some friends who have Metro PCS.

Also, Ive been told by some Verizon associates that I should be looking for GSM phones because we have Sim cards. But then other representatives say our phones are CMDA and thus should be looking for CMDA phones. Is there any consistent formula to this?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorMC:
I'm not in the US so I'm not 100% on this but the SGH-A157 is GSM and Verizon uses CDMA tech. Afaik, they are not interchangeable.

Unlocking a phone does not change the radio tech used in the device.

You can probably shift between AT&T and T-mobile, but not CDMA carriers like Sprint or Verizon.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pharadco:
Please help me.

I have Jellyblast installed on my ace-i. Then I found another custom rom for ace-i called "Ace-I-Sure". I downloaded it. Before flashing the rom, I did a nandroid backup. After the backup, I flashed the ace-i-sure, then rebooted. Unfortunately, I was stuck on the boot screen (softbricked). So I booted to recovery mode and did a nandroid restore. Everything was back to normal and my phone was working again.

A few days later, I tried to flash the ace-i-sure again (yeah im stupid). I did a nandroid backup, then flashed. But, same result. It was softbricked again. Then i thought that this was no big deal, i will just do a nandroid restore. BUT, now I can't access the recovery mode! I can access download mode though, and I know that i can flash stock firmware using Odin. BUT, my USB/Charger "mouth" (you already know what i mean, the place where you insert the usb connector/charger, at the top of the device) is not working! It can't detect my charger and USB connector. I charge through a universal charger, where I just remove the battery and insert it into said charger. (Before any of this softbricking happened, my uncle went to a repair shop to repair the USB/Charger "mouth" but the people their said that the only solution was a universal charger.) Anyway, using odin or any other unbrick programs means I need to connect my phone to a PC, which is unfortunately, impossible right now.

I need your help. Do you know any other way of unbricking my device? What should I do?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitesh2626:
See if you get working with recovery then try these

1.search over xda for MultiFormator tool

2.Boot into recovery flash cwm then flash these tool

3.Now Aroma will startup then choose RFS

4.Now flash your backup it will boot up .

But if not then you need to give it in Samsung's service center they will repair it .

Without download mode you can't get to flash Stock Rom via Odin .

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LAYGO:
Ok. I had stock rooted for awhile from Apr of last year until a few months ago when I decided to venture out & try CM. I decided to switch ROMs because my phone was feeling sluggish. CM really didn't help.

So, recently I tried to go back to stock & keep Knox off my phone. I was on MF9 baseband/modem. I was reading the 2 threads on how to get NAE modem working with MF9 & I couldn't get either method to work. Neither would enable me to have Wifi enabled. I tried several times going through each process. (These are the threads: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277480 & http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2650706).

I tried flashing CM on top of NAE, it just froze on the Samsung boot logo. I tried flashing it from Philz/CWM, neither worked.

I tried Odin flashing MF9 stock rooted. Again froze on Samsung boot logo. I flashed the MF9 All in One modem/bootloader, THEN Odin flashing MF9. Still no go.

I'm in the process of a stock MK2 ROM flash/install & will try to flash CM again. I'm almost ready to restore a 6 month old NAND, but I'm not sure if that helps me (does the NANDs back up bootloaders? I forget).

I'm at my wit's end. No Wifi, no text messages. Phone calls not connecting or ringing. Really frustrated.

Try to boot back to stock recovery and do a 'factory reset'. Remember that the first boot take a FULL FIVE EARTH minutes.

If that fails...

Try to Odin a custom recovery, but don't check 'autoreboot' after odin completes do a battery pull. Then try and start again.
