Change text size in settings to "small". It helps render more pages properly.

Go to settings and change image quality from "low" to "medium" or "high". "Low" is great for edge. If you have a decent 3G connection, use "medium".

Considering this is still beta and it loads big pages about 2 -3x faster than the default browser, I'm quite excited. Can't wait for the final and firefox mobile to come.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SystmDcln:
Well the app does say BETA. I am personally blown away by the speed of this browser. Yes, it does such that it doesn't have Multi-Touch etc etc, but I'm very sure it will come in the next few releases. Instead of crying about broken features on a BETA product..don't uninstall the app..report the bugs and help make it something very high quality.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tamarian:
Anyone else having problems getting it to work?

It launches then hangs for a while "Installing" with the progress bar not moving, then a black screen with message "Unable to connect to the internet".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maxawesome:
Lol, but wouldn't that require not being a self-important ****?

I totally agree with you.

Opera Mini 5 beta is my new default browser. Eff multi-touch. I can't stand waiting for a browser to load a simple web page when I'm on H or 3G. Opera pulls em down at lightning speeds.

Speed > MT any day.

Alright guys, I usually never post new threads, but I am pretty excited by what this app can do.

This app was recommended by jerrycycle and when I went to use it, I can now wake my phone up by clicking the trackball button. I am still testing this to see what the pros and cons are about it and I will report back.

You can find the app on the market and on their official site here:http://www.myflyscreen.com/

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Bleh, I've been looking for ANY decent way to get my agenda on the lock screen (I too was spoiled by S2U2 in this regard) and Flyscreen looks okay but you're right, Home button does go to the homescreen.

it's not a HUGE deal but seems they'd fix that.. I don't use my lock screen as a security method, although eventually I should.

My annoyance with Flyscreen is that widgets which should fit into it don't, seems a normal 4x3 Widget size won't fit, 4x2 is okay... Using Pure Calendar Widget to see my agenda. I'd prefer the phone not have TWO of these running, however...

Looked at Executive Assistant and it seemed a bit too much, plus the calendar didn't show locations, which is a big fail for me. I have meetings in random conference rooms and I gotta know where to go.

If I send a new message and select the "contact" from the address book the message goes. but if i manually type in the number the same error is shown...I have noticed that when I select a contact from the address book it shows like this

"contact name"<no> ;

and when I type the no manually there is no ";" which is same in the case of "REeplying"

When I type a message manually///Relply and add ";" the message goes...

WHY IS WINDOWS MOBILE is not adding this ";" to my messages anymore.,.

The ";" is for separating names if you want to send the same message to several people at the same time (like in email). I don't think this is the issue with your problem, as I can send messages with and without ";" for just 1 recipient

Exchange/Password

Now with Android 2.1 it now makes me use a password word. Is there a way to bypass this as it is annoying, or maybe use a pattern instead?

With 1.5 i didn't have to use a password, but with 2.1 now i do.

This works

just thought i would update with my latest info. So here is the scoop. You can disable the exchange password lock and have it survive reboot/and mail checks. To do this follow these steps:

[APP] LockPicker - disable Exchange lock screen [30-03-2010]

Hi all,

"j0bro"

Just whipped an app together that disables the Exchange lock screen as soon as the server has enforced its policy by using a background service and an observer on the system setting. This requires no polling, scripting, etc. and survives reboots/enforcements

If you want to use the pattern lock follow the next steps if not just skip the next steps., First set the lock pattern before you setup your exchange server, Then after you set your pattern lock setup your exchange and it will ask you to set your password after complete download Lockpicker in the market and install & run. Iit will bypass the Password lock and the pattern will now work.

Or

Not sure what you're trying to say here...

I'm using Exchange through my work, and the process is exactly the same as it has been on 1.5. Can you clarify your issue? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] swornenemy:
This has to do with the exchange active sync policies your IT dept has implemented. I believe you can remove that option from EAS on the exchange server.

As a workaround, you can use touchdown for your exchange needs as it doesnt lock down your phone but just your exchange email.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
Thanks,

With 1.5 i didnt have to use a password, but with 2.1 now i do.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] swornenemy:
Yeah android 2.1 is more EAS compliant and can actually do remote wipes if you ever lose your phone which is nice. I did this on my hero and it wacked everything off and would only boot into recovery. Thank god for nandroid.

Be advised that if you enter your password wrong 10 times, (provided that you are still using the built in android exchange support) it will format your phone as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
I've got it backup, Just hate to have to unlock it all the time. :(

Wish they would let you use a pattern
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] swornenemy:
I am in the same position as you. Delete your exchange account and use touchdown for your exchange mail. This way it doesnt require you to use a pin to use your phone except when accessing your exchange mail through touchdown;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
i have never been able to get touchdown to work for me :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] eddieroger:
My employer is one of the paranoid companies that require the full password, so I'm also pretty interested in the answer. Changing values in the database show promise, but we'll need to see how this impacts what data is sent back to Exchange. For example, if I change the value to not requiring a lockscreen password, does Exchange know? If so, I get in trouble with Exchange admins, and they probably wipe my phone at their will. Ultimately, the device sends data back to Exchange, and the real solution is to find where the connection between Exchange and the lock screen is, and cut the cord.

For what it's worth, on the Pre this was handled in the lockscreen app and not anywhere near Exchange. The result was bypassing the lockscreen app altogether (return true; - elegant, right?), but that wouldn't meet the needs here of still having something. Once I get it reflashed with Damage's ROM tonight, I'll be playing with this.

And for the record - I'm also not trying to work around security policies enacted by my employer. This is purely for research and educational purposes. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] miguelfp1:
say I wanted to go the other way, my Exchange server doesn't require a password but I want to use a pass... will following inverse instructions enable the policy?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daryelv:
My company has the security enforced on our Exchange server. Keyguard Disabler (look it up in Market) will do this, but it also disables the slide-to-unlock. You can toggle it on and off as you need it.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
Ill have to try it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] d11dog11:
Installed Keyguard Disabler from the market and it works great. Well worth the buck 50. Buggy when set to auto start on boot so I just put in the password once at boot and run the app. Completely bypassed the lock enforced by my exchange server.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] swornenemy:
Hell, I just logged into my Exchange server and disabled the pin requirement.....:p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kranz68osu:
I remember from the windows mobile days that most exchange servers automatically refresh the policies each night just after midnight. I used to have a program that ran every so many minutes that looked for that policy to be set and would unset it again. Maybe we can get a DEV here to write us a program that runs in the background on android that will chech and apply your changes above at some periodic amount of time. I would donate for it.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] emenny81:
Its an exchange security you have to tell your exchange administrator to disable Mobile Security, tell them to open Exchange System manager the click on Global Settings -> Mobile Services, click on properties and then click on Device Security Click on Exceptions and tell them to add your account. and OK all the way.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
So my most recent changes to dp_config.prefs were unsuccessful. Late last night it started demanding I enter a password again. I took the advice of ukcatsfan and downloaded/installed lockbot (free). It appears to be working great, you set the password for Exchange and I believe lockbot is killing off the HTC Lock on boot (so you must enter password once).

This is certainly a better solution then anything I have so far. You can also set the Lockbot to allow for 0-5mins of wait before it actually locks the screen (after turning off the display), something I've hated about Android. Personally I've never tried these lock apps as I'm more of a minimalist myself, this seems a good solution.

Going to test it for a bit. I'm curious what would happen if you remove the HTC lock app. Might skip the initial password request.. or might mess things up horribly.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chnzshyguy:
Lockbot and Lock 2.0 are decent solutions, but they're not a full-featured lock replacement. I lose slide to answer and every hardware button wakes up the phone.

Can we get some hacking help on this thread?? There must be a way to turn off the password protection!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jpeepers:
Yeah, there was/is a program called zenyee stayunlock that worked great for WM devices. Would be nice to have something like that for Android.

I use Touchdown now but don't really like the interface. Maybe I'll try lockbot?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kranz68osu:
I am working on something. It uses ASE (Android Scripting Environment) to run a script containing the code in the script in this thread. It can be scheduled to run using a Locale plug-in or via a shortcut. I will let you all know and post the files once I finish testing it. All credit goes to tamburylar for finding where to update the policies. If this doesn't work, I will continue working on writing a full app that does it but I have less experience in doing so. Scripting is rather easy. All you really have to do us paste the following strings into a text file and give it a .sh extension.

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases

sqlite3 settings.db update secure set value=0 where name='DevicePasswordEnabled';

sqlite3 settings.db update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockexchange.enable';

sqlite3 settings.db update secure set value=0 where name='MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock';
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
Kranz Thanks for the credit but I'll be happy with honorable mention :) I'd love to try out your idea.. I just don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this. I agree with the posts on lockbot it's very iffy at times.. most of time it just stops working and I have no lock on my phone.. infact while watching a movie last night my phone pocket dialed my voicemail 3 times (redial) this was because lockbot wasn't locking and that any button turns the phone on (even with the option turned off).

I'm not sure how well a "scheduled" unlock may work, when the mail client notices the changes are different it "asks" you if you want to enable security. If you do then the changes are made and your scheduled item would be able to detect the lock and fix it.. But you'd have to click the enable security button. I've noticed that in the dp_config.prefs file there is an option "enableDP=1" after I had disabled the lock via sql this optino was "enableDP=0" however when my mail client started pestering me to enable security it was set to "enableDP=1" .. I tried replacing the file with one that said "enableDP=0" but this was just immediately overwritten. It's possible that you have to kill the mail client before replacing the file to get it to work. If someone has more time than me please feel free to test it. Perhaps the script could kill the client replace the file and restart the mail client?

Has anyone had a chance to try installing the 1.5 Mail client? to be honest I don't know of any "new" features other than this password feature, if the 1.5 client still works that might be the easiest solution.

I may try to downgrade back to 1.5 and get the mail.apk mail.odex files.. if someone happens to have 1.5 can you post them?

Thx
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kranz68osu:
I haven't gotten the security pop-up yet. I just did it for the first time last night. I also found that all the other security programs out there ended up disabling security or my phone wasn't turning off completely. I like the SQL solution the best but it will take me a while to perfect it so it is automatic like it was on Windows mobile. I wouldn't mind the password so much if it was a number keypad to enter in the pin. I find that your fix plus AutoLock with a pattern lock work best for me. This way it "relocks" itself every 5 min instead of everytime the screen turns off.

I will keep this thread updated as I proceed with my testing. I like the script option as I already have locale running and this wouldn't require another background process.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
Good luck, hope it works
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
I will be surprised if you don't get the pop-up.. but it typically took around 12-24 hrs it seemed so maybe you just haven't had time also perhaps if your updating the settings a lot it's not checking it as often .. which might strengthen your script idea if that is the case.

I've not really used Locale a lot. It's a neat program but I never really saw too much use for my case. To me if I don't see a strong need I don't load the app since I hate having stuff running on my phone, but maybe this will give me a good reason to have it.

Looking forward to your fix.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
Well I had a few minutes so I went through several different ROMs and pulled the Mail.apk and Mail.odex files from /system/app. Unfortunately they all failed to start with FC. I kinda figured this would be the case given all the changes to the ROMs but I wanted to give it a shot as it would be an easy fix. I tried the following ROM's Mail files

1. Fresh 1.1a (1.5 ROM)

2. Fresh 2.01_1.9.3_Eclair

I tested each with DamageControlV1 ROM. FULL WIPE each time.

If anyone wants the apk/odex files let me know I can provide them to save time, but without replacing all the htc framework I doubt we will get them working, and replacing the framework would like break lots of stuff and dowgrade us back to pre 2.1 as far as HTC stuff.

Hope others are having more luck.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daryelv:
Yep, you can't even run the 2.1 Mail.apk from an Eris base ROM on a 2.1 Legend based ROM. It's all linked together in the framework.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chnzshyguy:
when you say that there is no slide unlock, do you mean that the phone will have no locking mechanism at all? if I turn on the phone, it will go straight to the home screen?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
Sorry I use slide unlock to mean the "pattern unlock" the one where you slide your finger over the circles to unlock the phone. The phone will still have the normal lock screen where you have to flip it down to show the home screen.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tuffdadsf:
I am using Swype and taught it the word portion of my password. So now I just slide around to type the password and add numbers for the rest. Not perfect, but works quicker than typing each individual character.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kranz68osu:
Great solution. I got my first pop-up box today. I was going to play around with trying the kill mail.apk update the databases then restart mail.apk but I haven't figured out all of the shell commands yet. The swype program listed above looks promising too. What about other 3rd party lock apps? I find that android shuts those down once in a while leaving my phone unlocked.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tamburylar:
Not to stomp on your idea, please give it a try (You might think of something new) but killing the app and restarting doesn't work. Basically if the mail.apk decides it's time to check the EAS provisioning. It will keep trying until it passes successfully, even if killed. Basically in my testing when the EAS popup came up and ask for my permission to set security I killed the com.htc.android.mail (run by app_24 user) and restart it, as soon as it starts it connects and from the logcat you can see it does the provisioning check again. I tried numerous restarts (though not a reboot, I figured this would work, but it's not a good solution anyway). I then tried removing all the eas_provision.prefs and eas_provision.prefs.tmp files this didn't work it rewrote them. I tried making them read-only this just lead to java errors in logcat and it still gave the popup, apparently the .tmp file it creates is just excess code. You can experiment if you want once the popup comes up you can watch logcat and it will one by one demand that DevicePasswordEnabled, Device..MaxInactivity.. be corrected. If you update the secure table with the correct value and kill the com.htc.android.mail app you will see the logcat check again and skip DevicePassword Enabled and move to Device..MaxInactivity.. Once you fix both of these if you kill restart the app it checks and is "happy" with them and keeps working. This why I feel fairly certain that the IsExchangeLock option in the system table won't be changed back. It's likely also invisible from the exchange server side of things.

As for commands I found these useful, sorry if you know these but maybe it will help.

adb logcat -v time (shows timestamps on logcat, why isn't this default?)

Inside "adb shell":

ps|grep app_24 (shows all process run by app_24 ie the mail programs)

ps|grep mail (will show com.htc.android.mail and direct-push apps to kill)

kill <PID> <PID> (kill the app get the PID from ps command

I believe most of the recent roms all come with "busybox" don't know if you have used it much but it has some nice commands in there that are more up to date "busybox" will list them:

busybox ls -ld (list directories)

busybox vi (I don't know if this is broken or not but I can't get it to edit files properly non of the normal via commands work, i was doing it on Windows in a command prompt so perhaps it was a terminal issue)

busybox mv/cp

** basically if you don't find a command working shell try busybox it usually does there.

As for 3rd party lock apps the problem is that they are not Lock Replacements, all the programs I've tried like lockbot lock2.0 are actually just apps that run in the background and then force themselves to the front when the Screen is turned on.. So you run into a gambit of problems with hardware keys bypassing them and problems where they just stop working. They are a nifty ideas but I don't think they are worth much myself. They are obviously missing something fancy that HTC Lock screen does differently to interface with the android O/S that these apps are not able to do properly.

Hope this helps,

Tambu
