[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivorycruncher:
While I tend to agree with you, I'd like to point out that I haven't seen any issues with actually reliably syncing with an Exchange server with the Fascinate, whereas the mail client on the original Droid was plagued with bugs, and while it improved later on, one of the more recent post-Froyo patches broke the ability to sync with Exchange 2010 (which has since been fixed).

Also, if I remember correctly, the helpdesk I work on got a bunch of calls from clients who bought the Droid X when it first came out, because it couldn't sync with Exchange 2003, which was a pretty serious bug. Motorola had apparently tested it thoroughly with Exchange 2007 and 2010, but never with 2003. It was so bad that they were giving away licenses for Touchdown for free to anyone that complained, until they were able to issue a patch for it.

Anyway, no mail client is perfect, and all have their pros and cons. Which stock one is better or worse depends on whether the features that don't work right matter to you or not. Me, I'll stick with Touchdown, which basically mops the floor with the stock mail clients, just in sheer volume of features alone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDODGE:
IOS 4, android 2.* and up and WP7 all support multiple exchange accounts. Unfortunatley Samsung messed this up for us.

I wonder if there is a way to pull the AOSP e-mail.apk and try that? Or if there would be another way around this.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurm:
Since someone got a little cranky I will elaborate on the security problem.

The issue is largely one of partition. Let me paint a scenario...

I am government contractor x. I provide you with exchange on your phone. Your phone very helpfully merges all your data together. That violates my policies. Additionally, your android device doesn't respect remote wipe, remote lock, or security policy for disclaimers, password complexity, etc.

But the biggest issue is that the exchange data isn't self-contained.

If the phone, client, or whatever provides partitioning of the data then multiple accounts becomes a possibility.

Essentially I as an exchange admin don't want some other company's mail cross pollinating with mine. And because my company is in Massachusetts, it's actually a violation of state law at this point to let our emails into someone else's system.

Outlook 2010 supports separate cache files, contact lists, and all other data... So it can do multiple accounts. The iphone doesn't, and neither does droid.

I love my android phone, but I cannot let the end users have them, because we can't secure thee data. Full stop.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurm:
And yes, ios 4 and some iterations of droid do allow this, but not in s way that is kosher with either microsoft or your mail admins.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivorycruncher:
Hehe, I wasn't cranky. I just wanted some additional info to back up a rather vague, blanket statement about data security. I could go on to discuss security issues, but it looks like your concerns exist at a much higher level. If the Android platform as a whole is too insecure for you to allow, then whether or not a phone supports multiple Exchange accounts is irrelevant. That being the case, I won't draw this on much longer, as it's beginning to drift off topic.

Based on what you've listed as your security requirements, I believe Touchdown actually has a strong enough feature set to safely allow Android devices to work in your environment. It supports a healthy set of Exchange security policies, namely remote wipe, PIN/password policies, and complete data encryption (it even encrypts the data it stores on the SD card), and since it only allows one account per profile, and all data is contained within the application itself, and not mixed on the phone, the partition requirement is met. Plus, you can deploy a template that dictates desired config settings for the app, and locks them down to prevent users from changing them. Oh, and don't forget the added benefit of standardization, in that you would only have a single email app to support, regardless of which Android device end users have. The only real down side is the added cost, as it's extra software to buy. And for those wondering, no, I do NOT work for NitroDesk, the makers of Touchdown. :D

I apologize if I'm still failing to understand any of your points in all this. I do have an interest in security topics like this, and while I'm not completely ignorant, I'm by no means an expert either, not by a long shot. If you'd like to discuss this any further, feel free to PM me, so we don't get any further off topic in this thread. Thanks! :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8notime:
I have never in my life heard of this happening, nor is there any proof that it's technically possible. I get the whole concept of all data being on the same partition, but cross pollination? They are totally different accounts, with their own data stores.

If a companies security policy is this strict, they probably shouldn't have any phone connecting to their network, unless they have a device management tool in place that prohibits installation of any 3rd party apps unless they install them themselves. Oh and they should probably remove the camera too, if they're a government contractor with this much security in place.

I don't think the Fascinate was designed for a company like this.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilogik:
Just to throw in my 2 cents. A division of the company i work for engineers nuclear plants and because of the strict government regulations only blackberries are permited because other platforms are not secure enough.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurm:
Really? Your contact list isn't comprised of all the contacts from all the accounts? Do you keep strict track of which little yellow "new mail" envelope you've just pulled down? It can't happen? Think again.

Yup. Guess why Blackberries are still the biggest corporate device? For exactly this reason. Why is there always a Blackberry variant with no camera? BINGO.

No Droid or iPhone was.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8notime:
Then why are we even having this conversation? We're talking about the Fascinate.

Also, we were talking about email, not contacts. Emails are stored in entirely different data stores. I don't have 1 giant inbox with emails from both accounts. They are totally separated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurm:
Because Exchange isn't POP or IMAP. It's an entire comm system. It's not just mail, it's contacts and calendar and notes and public folders and a half dozen other things.

If you just want to sync the contents of two Exchange inboxes, sure there's no TECHNICAL reason you can't. But that's not how Exchange WORKS, typically. I'm sure you could write a client that does that, but as yet folks haven't.

You can go in and uncheck to sync the calendar and contacts, but new "events" will still arrive and have to be thrown out by the client. Essentially you would need to write MORE code to NOT have the entire system than you would to HAVE it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8notime:
I'm sorry but that isn't true. Like I said earlier, I was able to add more than one Exchange account - contacts, calendar, and email - on both my Droid and Droid X. One Exchange account for work, and the other a personal account through a hosted Exchange provider. There was no "cross pollination" between either account, and each had a completely separate inbox/data stores. So not only is it technically possible, the functionality is also available for use. Also, as a security professional, I think there are other real security concerns/vulnerabilities to focus on, than something that has never been proven to be one.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurm:
I understand that you have done it before. I've done it too on an iPhone. My point is that the capability to do so is not something that comes pre-cooked in an Exchange client. MS didn't do it until recently themselves. Given that a lot of the stuff in the Fascinate is pre-2.1 due to Samsung's pidgin kernel (really a 1.5 or 1.6 kernel hacked up for 2.1, from what I've read on here) I'm not at all surprised that functionality only recently available is missing.

Like I said - it takes more code to do it than not to do it... don't hold your breath for it from Samsung, although anything is possible in 2.2!

Im running Fusion1.1 on 2.1/JI6....my market insists on updating itself, even when i go to uninstall the update. Is there a way for me to stop this update from taking place? Maybe uninstall MarketUpdater.apk?

my reasoning is because for some reason my Metamorph market theme will not apply to this new updated market (even thought if i unpack Vending.apk it shows my modded framework)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twolazyg:
So, the other day I was working. Great story, huh.. Anyways, I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and I noticed my Clockr date widget had magically turned on it's background (I have it set to transparent), So I went to fix it, but when I clicked it, Spare parts came up?!? I thought maybe I must have just clicked something else, But the next 8 times I clicked it, the same results came up.

So, I'm wondering if there is some kind of custom shortcut to have a widget linked to a different app. Apparently, my pocket is smarter than me and knows how to do this. If there is such a thing, I would like to know about it :D here is a screenie so you can see that I didn't just click spare parts.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverballer95:
Im kinda confused but if you're asking how to make custom settings shortcut, just hold down finger somewhere empty on the screen and you can set it up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twolazyg:
Yeah, not anything close to what I said. I'm also pretty sure if I didn't know how to create a custom SHORTCUT like you said, I should not have rooted my phone.. Anyways I'm guessing my phone just glitched and what I'm trying to find out doesn't exist yet, due to the large number of responses I got :)

[Desire HD General] tvoben:
Vi. Just got my dhd today, happy with it so far!

Downloaded Android system manager and checked the RAM usage, it says total RAM 623 mb! Is the phone using some hidden RAM which isn't shown here. Or does my phone have little RAM?
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
this is what enticed me to this phone, 768 MB OF RAM BABY!!!

it tales into account system resources, and with all of that, and androids running (around 100 -150) MB of Ram
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
I should think, if it runs anything like WM 6.x, it saves a portion of the RAM for the video memory.
[Desire HD General] jbrizz:
I think some RAM is used for baseband processing. My Hero has 288MB but somewhat less than that is available for applications.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Some of the RAM is being used by the Android OS... its normal.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
imo the missing section of ram, is probably reserved for the gpu in a similar fashion as shared video memory in cheap laptops
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
Welcome to android freedom. Once you root you have complete control. 5 years from now, the desire hd will still be chugging along. Just like the g1 is still going now. Enjoy and welcome again.

Ps. I'm still using my g1 all the time and it's froyo'd up to the eyeballs.

Hi all,

I have a N1 on Rogers network and the acquiring location using network function no longer work. I know there was 2 patches after 2.2, and I seemed to think the last patch to FRG83D has made it stop working. Any idea how to get this back up and running. It sucks every time I want to use Google map, I have to turn on GPS and wait for it to sync to work. Really looking for help here.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Came works fine except on some experimental Desire roms. Look through the stickies in the Evo development section......everything you need is there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
Hey man! Welcome to Evo world and congratulations.

It looks like you know what rooting is so I won't go into that. Everyone gets something different out of rooting their Evos--some get headaches. I got a faster phone, better battery life and the option to try a bunch of ROMs and learning a little about kernel mods--all good stuff. Some ROMs stick with Sense UI, some leave it completely and use AOSP, that will depend on your taste.

This page gives a great rundown of almost everything you need to root, ROM an kernel mod your new Evo. Definately go through the stickies though, that's really good advice and when you try a ROM, make sure you read the OP's ROM anouncement carefully.

Remember that you when you root your phone, you're on your own--seriously. No tech support, no calling the carrier so make sure that this is really what you want to do.

I'm using Calkulin's EViO ROM and the camera works perfectly. You'll have to read the ROM's threads to find out what the ROM's shortcomings and benefits are. I used CyanogenMod 6 and the camera's not so good in that one but they know that.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
Stickies are specific posts that the community voted to be "stuck" at the top of a forum because so many forum members found the info inside that particular thread very helpful. Stickies will not move out of sight, even when noone replies to them for long time b/c they are "Stuck" at the top by an Admin./Mod..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
Your camera should not be affected by rooting. But you know what you might want to try before you dive into rooting? Go on the market and install some home launcher replacements like ADW or Launcher Pro, these two are the most popular but there are others. ADW has some some themes on the market, some are a buck and others free. Try these first and see if you like the way they change the look of your phone. There's tons of stuff you can do to change the look of the phone without rooting. Mess with those while you're reading about rooting.

There are ROMs that keep the factory look intact. You're going to have to explore those on your own and see which one retained the stock look because I wanted to remove Sense and yeah, it takes a ROM to do that. Myn's Warm twopointtwo I think is an improvement on Sense.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mask-1:
This is a tool I created to help me with my X10 and ARC. I thought it might be useful to some of you so I made some fixes and here it is! Keep in mind that this is a beta version so use at your own risk. Some of the features are:

• push, pull, install apps and transfer between System <=> User apps and between SD <=> Device

• remove & uninstall apps, clean data from deleted apps and delete orphan files

• change min & max CPU frequency (from available steps)

• view and edit: gps.conf, Hosts, build.prop, hw_config, media_profiles.xml, vdd_levels and install-recovery

• view and kill running processes

• zipalign

• keyboard functionality

• search files / folders

• basic file explorer

• push and pull Bootanimation, framework-res and Framework jar files

• clean cache & temp folders and application data cache

• enable Market to show paid apps

• create phone log (logcat, dmesg)

• view device info

• and others.

I tested it on X10, X10 mini, X8, PLAY, Mini Pro, Mini, Neo and ARC.

The tool works both with USB (recommended) and wireless phone connection.

For any questions, problems or suggestions please leave a message

It's better to backup your data before Zipaligning, because some launchers don't work correctly when they are zipaligned, causing a reboot loop.

Please use the link below instead of uploading the tool on other hosts, so that I can see the downloads. Thanks
