Hi all,
My work Exchange account enforces security on my SGS2 which requires password protection. Only PIN and password is allowed, I cannot choose swipe gesture (annoying btw, is there a hack for that??).
I have a four-digit PIN set as it is the quickest to enter. It is still a bit irritating however to have to enter it and hit OK every time I check my phone, regardless of whether I locked it 10 seconds ago or 10 hours ago.
On my iPhone I could set the autolock not to engage until after 20 minutes of no interaction. I haven't found this setting on my SGS2 but I'd really like to have it.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help!
Me too!
Exactly the same here. Annoyingly, some colleagues using IPhones also sync with exchange and don't appear to have the same problem with enforced security.
I'd love to hear the responses to this thread, but in the meantime, this is all I have to offer:
Talk to your sysadmin and see if the permissions can be changed at the exchange-end
You can occasionally "switch off" exchange security in Settings - maybe in your "off-peak" times. Don't have the phone to hand, but in Settings - Security - Device administrators, delete exchange and then set your swipe security. Exchange will then stop working and will nag you with security messages when you try to access it. When you want it back, just click on the notification and rekey your PIN - exchange will "own" your phone again.
Seriously, whoever thought this was a sensible implementation of security must be an Android-hater.

For the second option, phone will take time to decrypt and encrypt which is even more annoying if the storage is almost full. I don't know whether its the encryption/decryption or something else that spoilt my Micro SD card but strangely it got corrupted after a bit of tinkering like this and firmware change.
See if Moxier mail app (trial version) as it encrypts within the app than at a device level. If it works, worth spending money later if it works. Touchdown or other mail apps haven't worked for me so can't really comment about them. I guess they also have encryption at an app level that will address exchange server security policies. Give it a try. See what happens!
not sure if this is what yer looking for but "juice defender" has an option to set different time out lengths for screen off and screen lock, it also an extra option to set the lock to never come on when in range of home wifi etc.
i use juice defender ultimate not sure if the "lesser" versions have this feature.
@hari: I read somewhere that Touchdown does a similar thing, enforcing things on a application level. Actually, I think it was on the touchdown website (which seemed a little odd that they'd avertise it)..
How does Moxier Mail go with integration? I.e. is the sync'd schedule available to other applications?
Thanks for the tips guys.
I do not really like the idea of completely disabling my work Exchange sync, I am dependent on it.
Furthermore, I don't think Moxier will do it for me as I need fully integrated calendar sync as well.
Juice Defender might do it for me actually if it lets me delay the lock engagement. I'll try it out and post back.
Doesn't look like JuiceDefender is able to override the PIN lock timeout enforced by Exchange security, unfortunately.
Aaahh, I'd kill to have that lock time out/wifi dependent lock functionality JD offers!
Stupid Exchange security..

Not exactly sure what you mean by "sync'd schedule available to other applications?". If I understood correctly, Moxier has calendar, contacts and tasks sync. And it appears in "Accounts and Sync" option like other synced accounts like Gmail etc. with a flexibility to chose push/pull as per time of the day.
Only downside with all these apps is (one can live with this limitation though!), they have their own inbox, calendar within the app (instead of unified inbox, calendar etc..). Anyway, as such we're used to Gmail within its own app.

Did you talk to your exchange admins? This might be the easiest option.
On the subject of my 2nd suggestion: Yes, it's a kludge but it really doesn't take much to switch it on/off. I didn't have any problems as discussed above with encryption/decryption and/or filling storage; it just worked. And switching it off and on in the manner I described doesn't cause a delay.
But the best option is to talk to your admins. Show them this Dilbert if they offer resistance:

Same here..
Somewhere I also read, you can patch up your email application on the phone to disable the security..
For me thats not an viable option. I have to use Lotus Connect, which install its own version of mail application.
My Desire HD had an option of delaying the password lock based on the inactivity.
So I guess its somewhere there..

Why don't we ever hear of such usability issues in the many glowing reviews that are out there? I'm not winging, but its such a PITA to have to constantly reenter a 4-digit PIN that is directly impacts on your ability to use the phone. What about driving for example? You can't get past this screen to make a call, even with a bluetooth handsfree kit.
Not clever Android. What we need (in the absence of admins who are not BOFH) is exactly what is suggested in the thread title. BTW, When I mentioned above that IOS doesn't have the problem I think that's not quite true - the difference is that it splits the 2 functions: Screen Off & "logged out". I understand you can configure the 2 values seperately.
Now if my phone had that and would stop rebooting when it felt like it, it would be perfect!

I don't want to start an <ANYTHING> Vs Android argument but my 4 year old HC TYTN II did the "boring"* stuff better than my SGGS2:
Office document editing - has anybody looked at Excel in Polaris? A fag-box and a blunt pencil could offer a stiff challenge.
Access to exchange data (as above)
Handsfree support for making phone calls. I'm talking voice recognition, phone security and bluetooth here.
I'm not ranting - I knew what I was doing when I bought the phone and, yes, I much prefer it to my prehistoric WM device. Having said that, I'd just wish it was a little better at some of the boring stuff above. Yes, 1080p video recording, Dual-core HD games, etc, etc are wonderfull, but probably wasted on me!

On the market page it says "DOES NOT WORK IF EXCHANGE REQUIRES A PIN!".
The Exchange-enforced security is exactly what I wanted to circumvent in the first place.

I'm not sure what you mean by sending notes through bluetooth. Would you elaborate?
Adding more colour schemes is unlikely. The app currently includes two versions of the interface, one for high-resolution displays and one for the low. With more variants of each, it could quickly become unmaintainable. I can't change the background colour programmatically either, because it is baked into the graphics. They are all dithered for 16-bit colour, and dithering is incompatible with transparency.

It's simply you can send the notes you have to another device, say to another phone or pc, using bluetooth.

The thing I wonder about is what to do with the note on the receiving end. Official Evernote clients cannot properly transfer notes outside of synchronization. Exporting to HTML is possible, but would raise the question of what to do with file attachments.
Of course, if you can connect to internet through Bluetooth, then you can simply sync.

Yeah i remember trying it out specifically because they had one, but it was terrible. Yours works great on my htc touch pro 2 though, so thanks
Perfect timing: I just started trying out Evernote this week and wasn't really keen on Evernote's own application because it's useless offline. And here comes your app and looks great.
I got one problem, though: It refuses to connect via wifi. No problem at all via 3G, but on WiFi it steadily shows "connecting".
Oh, and being able to create new tags would be a good addition.

Thanks for complimenting the app. I have not used WiFi in a while, but will try to reproduce your problem.
Started a new work item for tag creation: http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/workitem/1005.
Voting on feature requests gets them implemented sooner.
Since restarting my phone a few times, the app doesn't hang up while trying to connect via WiFi anymore - it just takes way longer than via 3G for some reason, but it's usable.
Edit: Forget about the described problem. I'm sure it was a generally lagging WiFi connectivity that day. It works like a charm in other WiFi networks and now at the same one, too.
I apologize for taking so long to release a new version — just did not have much time to spare. Version 0.38 implements one of the most-requested features, letting you choose "All Notebooks" to browse, search, and sync all your notebooks together.

Great App!
Great App! Working on my old Axim X51V!
I see on your website that you have Notes popping up with a timed alarm reminder as low priority. Let me put in a vote for higher priority.
I would use it as a timed "sticky note" to myself to do something.
Keep up the good work!
Just released version 0.39, making it possible to delete notes from the main note list screen via a tap-and-hold menu.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/84127
Version 0.40 adds an option to compact the database from the profile screen. Compacting a database can make it smaller and faster by removing empty spaces left over by editing, moving, and deleting notes.

cant log in
It must be just me; since nobody else has mentionned it; but I cannot log in to evernote at all on my HD2. On 3G it immediately comes back with network error (never even tries to open a data connection). On wifi it seems to be trying to do something in the background but after a few minutes to just goes back to the login screen.
Any ideas??

It sounds like the WiFi connection is slow and times out. With 3G, try to establish a data connection first, such as by opening a web browser. I just created a work item for this: workitem:1055.

This program is making all the right steps in all the right directions, it has great prospects.
There are some features that Evernote has that I hope would arrive in this software in the not-too-distant future. I make more handwritten notes that any other form of note taking, and what I find with 'PeoplesNote' is that the 'Ink Note' feature is just a one page scribble pad without any option to scroll or add a page. It would be fantastic if the Ink Note feature of PeoplesNote could automatically scroll as the old Windows Note does as you approach the bottom of the page. Evernote's Ink Note recognises that you are reaching the bottom of the page and facilitates extra space to scroll into. Additionally, it would be very helpful to have an erase feature with Ink Note.
Please don't take this as criticism, I can see this app being extremely useful for as long as Evernote allow you to develop it.
I will soon be an Android convert even thought i have never owned a smart phone. I have used PDA's since my first Dell Axim. I stuck with the Windows Mobile 2003 platform until the third gen ipod touch came out. I switched to the 3rd gen touch and used it till it died; then i got my trusty 4th Gen ipod touch.
Now i am ready to move on to one device, phone and PDA in one. The natural choice seems to be iphone 5 since i am familiar with ipods (even though i am no real fan of apple).
The thing is, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is beautiful! The screen is huge and widgets are "cool." I really want to go Android.
This leads to my problem. Finding adequate software. I have broken down my needs in categories below. PLEASE, if anyone knows of a good software, paid or free, that will do what i want, please suggest it to me.
For starters, CALENDARS.
I have used Pocket Informant for the ipod for awhile. (Used it on the Win mobile before that) I love it. Played with the Android version on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and i gotta say, it needs work. A lot of work.
The calendar that comes with the tab is nice too, and so is jorte, but my biggest problem (and it seems like a small one) is that I like to look at the month view and see the times listed in the mirco text before the appointment. otherwise i have to open each appointment or change views to see the start times.
Attached pictures show exactly what i am talking about. Both are screen shots of the current version of Pocket Informant. Notice the start times on the iOS version. Also notice how the android version (the second one) looks "undone."
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I, in good conscience go from the above.... to this.....
even on the samsung galaxy's beautiful screen that is shameful.
My Main criteria for a new calendar program is a month view as close to the first image as possible. Specifically i really like how in month mode you can see the start times of appointments in the Apple version. I have tried several different calendar programs and have yet to find an Android one that does this. What happened to Android being all about choice? Why does every single calendar app appear to just be different fonts on the same engine?
The next point of contention is Video playback
My main criteria for a playback app is that it shows the time remaining on the progress bar.
What i mean is that, on the ipod, youtube, and just about EVERYWHERE, the progress bar (scrubber) shows the current time to the right of the slider, and time remaining on the left. I like this.
On EVERY Android video player i have tried it shows the current time on the right, but the left is stuck at the total time. It does not move. It does not count down how much time is left.
Again, it feels like every app is using the same engine, with different "window dressing."
Is there an app out there that can handle the time left? Please let me know.
My secondary Criteria for a playback app is i would like it to be able to handle embedded thumbnail tags in mp4 files. This seems like a no-brainer. iTunes does it. iPods do it. But i have yet to find a single Android app that will correctly display the embedded image. They, instead, choose to display a random screenshot for the thumbnail. Where is the variety that an open system should bring?
In a perfect world, the Android app would also sort the shows into groups based on the show name and season, for properly tagged files. Ipod touch does it. Seems simple enough, yet again, i cannot find a program that can do this.
Next up, Syncing.
I think i have this one covered. I really like itunes. And before you say "bloatware" let me just say that the UI on winamp sucks. iTunes is beautiful, easy to navigate, sort, and manipulate my mp3 files. The Closest i have found is Media Monkey. But to tell you the truth, i am not sure i am ready to give up itunes yet. I love my playcounts dating back to 2006. So, i have been using iSyncer and it seems to do the trick. When set up properly it syncs and even syncs playcounts back to iTunes. I hear DoubleTwist will let you sync your Android device to iTunes also; but iSyncer seems to be a more elegant solution.
Audio Playback
Again, as with videos none of the audio apps that i have found show how much time is left in a song on the right hand side of the scrubber. This is an epidemic!
Also, I have mp3 files that are audio books and Howard Stern Shows. I cannot listen to these in one session, and switch back and forth with music. In itunes/iPod-land i would simply use "get info - Options - Media Kind" to switch these mp3 files to audio books or podcasts and check mark the box allowing it to remember position. This one is important. I really need help finding an audio player that allows this. Allowing me to save my position in "Howard", for example, listen to some music, then go back to where i left off in the Radio Show.
This Leads to Podcasts. Video and Audio.
I listen to quite a few podcasts. I could sync them over from iTunes using iSyncer, but it throws them in the same folder as my music making them hard to find. This is very messy. I hope a later version of iSyncer takes care of this. Until then, I would probably use an app to download them directly to the S3. I just downloaded a program called Podcast Addict. This may do the trick, but it is, again, inelegant and seems undone. Can someone point me in the direction of a GREAT podcast catcher app?
Is this all too much to ask of Android apps or am I just looking in the wrong places. If that is the case, please let me know, and i will check out whatever app fits the criteria outlined above. When i started looking, these seemed like minor things. Especially on a system that is all about being open; for the sake of choice. This seems to be a theme when people talk about why Android is so much better than iOS.
Sorry to sound like i am ranting.. maybe i am ranting... but i really want this to work. But i cant compromise on the user experience just to have a bigger screen. I need software that is up to the task, and i can't seem to find it on my own. Any input you can give will be greatly appreciated.
thanks for listening!

Hi,
Feel free to tell me what's not working for you in Podcast Addict. FYI a new major release it's on its way with a new UI
Yes i agree that iOS' Calendar is more polished. But i still sure you can find some really good calendar app on the Google Play. Not sure if it going to be free (to be that polished like iOS' one).

No offense, but that is exactly the problem. Everyone i speak to locally, and also on the net, always say the same thing. "there are great ones on google play." But they aren't using good ones, nor do they tell me any good ones that could even come close to the polished look of PI for iOS and no one has suggested one that shows the times in the month view. Those are the two main selling points for me.
but thanks for responding.

Nothing is wrong with Podcast Addict, per se. But, what i am looking for would be a podcasting program that allowed me to add mp3 files as podcasts. Also, i was having trouble navigating. I would find myself trapped in a menu with no way to get back. (this was a couple of weeks ago. I will try to do it again, so i can give you a step by step example; so that the above statement makes more sence)
But overall, i like podcast addict. I am sticking with it. I just wish i could add my howard stern mp3's there manually so they show up as podcasts. Like i do in itunes.

Going to download the free one first.. .then check out the other two. the first 2 don't appear to show times in the main month window. But this might be something that is in settings. They all look very nice, "polished."

You have a podcast without any feeds ?
I was thinking about allowing to play external audio files with the app with the resume feature. They might not looks like a usual podcast, but will appears in the playlist

Yes. I download it as an mp3 file. And in itunes tag it as a podcast. Then it shows up as a regular podcast would on the ipod. Haven't found an android equivalent yet.

Yes. I download it as an mp3 file. And in itunes tag it as a podcast. Then it shows up as a regular podcast would on the ipod. Haven't found an android equivalent yet.

i don't think we are allowed to talk about that here. people get kicked out for such discussions on most boards.
Why ???
A RSS feed is the only or at least the common way to subscribe to a podcast. You won't be kicked talking about that.

Of course you do what ever you want. I'm just trying to understand in which case you might need to do that. It's so simple to subscribe to a feed, enable auto-refresh/auto-download/auto-queue then just press play. Maybe you didn't find a non-itunes feed. In that case if you tell me the name of the podcast I can try to find it

Well, with root, install any other launcher, remove the apk of launcher, move to a safe place.
Reboot and launcher will work.
After that, intall again the launcher and you can choose between both or any you have.

Well, I dont find the way to do it without removing from system.
The file you must remove is mitvdesktop. only that
IDK if are any risk, but as I tell you, you can reboot into recovery and restore original firmware, so no risk
you can after remove the mitvdesktop reinstall it as user app simpli executing it, and will work as any other launcher, you can choose and set default any you want, the original, and 3º party ones.
thank you for reply.
i did your way, works fine, press home in remote to go smart launcher.

well, Im working on port another rom to the phone, but Im stuck when I try to uncompress or mount system.img dumped from a working device.
I export the backup image too, but same result.
Have someone success with that? Is my first mediatek device...
Maybe based on firetv 2 source we can build something better than xiaomi's rom

It works great, the hardware is a beast! The only important issue I encountered so far is that sometimes it exits the video player, some other times just pauses the playback on Netflix, every 10 minutes or so. On You Tube it exits fullscreen mode, which can be quite annoying. The only solution I could find is this:
- In Settings (not the Chinese app, but the one that comes inside Shafa Market, or even better, make a google search for "startSettings.apk", download it , then install it on your Mi Box, this way you´ll no longer need Shafa Market), go to About the Phone section, and click repeatedly on the Build Version, till you are granted Developer rights.
- Back to Options, go to Developer Options, and change the number of background processes from Standard to None. You´ll have to repeat this last step every time the box reboots, but not after sleep/wake.
Done.

My mibox when I turn off sleep mode, do not switch off/disconnect the USB HDD. The old (black pro) is always switched off. I do not like spinning all night, bluster. What could be wrong?

Not so sure about it, I had to restore it several times, and done already a couple of updates so far, but the problem is still there. My brother has one, too, and he bought some more for his friends, all those devices act this way at some point during video playback. I suspect it has to do with some app doing something in the background.
Besides, I wouldn´t even know how to format the internal storage (I don´t have anything inserted in the USB ports except for an air mouse), should I connect it to the computer, and reformat it? Wouldn´t it mean that the restore partition would be gone, too? And why would Xiaomi sell it without the proper formatting? It just doesn´t make any sense. It works great, once I stop the background processes, it wouldn´t work if the partition had any problem, don´t you think?
For those who experiment the same issues, I would suggest do it as I did, it´s much less complicated.

how to make it support rotation?
Hi all,
I just bought a new XIAOMI 3 TV box enhanced edition. Everything is fine , root , install third party's application. But I hope it can support screen rotation. I tried several screen rotation application and all failed. The screen just keeps landscape. So is it possible to make the screen rotation, like portrait ? Should I use non-stock rom ? if it is , where can I find such kind of rom ? Or just some limitation with the pre-installed rom?
Help please.
Thanks!

I'm very curious about the Yota 3+, the international edition of Yota 3 with the Google Play support and mirroring function.
Could any current Yota 3+ owner share their experience, please? Like how is App2Back (mirroring function)? Is there any contrast setting for the eink display?
P.S. if any current Yota 3+ owner could upload the firmware it would be even greater!

Hisense A6 cannot support Google service. Google users are disappointed to use any mobiles without Google service, like Yota 3. Even though we can install Google service in it, running Google apps may be collapsed sometimes. Wishing the firmware from you may help us.

Hisense A2 Pro is very bad.
Camera is extremely low res.
The e-Ink screen isn't like Yotaphone's it is covered in glass... all glossy. Not like an e-reader at all.

Can you please tell me if Yota 3+ native phone application supports recording of voice phone calls? I have this available with Hisense A2 Pro (most Chinese made phones do have this). Want to know if Yota 3+ has it. Recorder is available by pushing a recording button during or before the phone call. Of course there are 3rd party android apps but the 3rd party apps add another layer of interaction, I prefer to have the ability to record a phone conversation natively in the "stock" Phone App. (Yes I know legal implications of recording

there is no native apps to record voice phone. there is a very basic phone app and a very simple recorder( it can't work in the background). you need to add some 3rd party apps.
Yota 3+ experiences
Hi,
I have the yota 3+ with YetiOS 8.1.0 (13.11.2018) for about 2 weeks now
and that is my experience so far:
2 main issues :
- whatsapp web with the Yota3+ isn't working, as the Yotaphone scan application inside whatsapp istn't able to scan
the QR-code on the computer screen, as the scanner is not working properly.
- if you select "power button will not lock/unlock" in the security settings, but the EPD-screen will lock up/freeze soon after that, and can't be unlocked then.
pros :
- Phone performance is OK, running stable without crashing.
- Battery life time is also OK
- GSM reception, GPS reception, phone call quality and overall volume / loudspeaker are Okay.
- Mirroring apps on the EPD-screen works well.
- 3rd party Widgets are running on the EPD.
- no bloatware installed
cons:
- Camera is below expectations, I didn't expect super high quality, but the picture quality is disappointing even in mid range expectations.
- No landscape mode on the EPD (only portrait) , hopefully this will be fixed on a future firmware-update.
- Compared to the predecessor Yota2 no NFC and no QI-Charging anymore.
Over all, coming from the (meanwhile outdated) Yotaphone2 , I am a bit disappointed of the Yota3+,
aside Octacore speed, slightly improved battery performance and display it hasn't much more to offer.
What are your thoughts ?
Greetings
Dirk
Hello,
- WhatsApp Web - scan QR code still does not work. So I can't add desktop pc to whatsapp.
- EPD screen
* weater widget - sometime it's not updated - "no internet connection" when I am running only on 4G Data. Need to be connected to internet with WiFi.
* time widget - sometime it's not updated - restart phone solve this problem
* exist any SMS notification widget for EPD like in YotaPhone 2, where when SMS come, it's shown for 10 seconds on EPD and then it's hidden?
* any widgets for quic info about email, sms, missed calls, and so on...?
My WhatsApp Web is working. I had problems with the phone too and it crashed yesterday. I recognized too late that the recovery wasn´t correctly working, so i had to flash the phone again. Since now, everything is working perfectly.

Interesting!
may I ask, what Version you have running , 8.1.0 kernel 3.18.71 Build Y3XSCN1805161 from Tue Nov. 13th ?
You said, you flashed it ? With a new version or did you just reset it to factory settings ?

Sometimes, my weather and time widget also is divergent from the real time,
please see the real time in the menu bar on top of the screen :
In addition the weather widget is set up to update every 30 minutes, but it stays unchanged for hours...

I am using the Yota2 widget from Alex Archen, called "YoMessage", you probably still know it from Yotaphone2.
It is working on yota3+, showing incoming WhatsApp & SMS ae-mails and whatever you configure it.
However, changing back from popping up message to normal EPD-Screen isn't always working properly,
sometimes the display remains in a almost completely faded message instead of going back to idle screen.
So it is not perfect, but it works.
I am hoping for a new firmware update to get rid off some of the bugs.

sorry, i made an update recently, so i don´t know my kernel version. As my Phone crashed, i had already the newest version of the updates. It worked with whatsapp right after i flashed it with the 9008, without any update. I willt try it with the newest update.
I flashed it again with the instructions in the forum, from Yota 3 to Yota 3+. I recognized, that i didn´t had a correct working recovery after the first try of flashing to yota 3+.

Whatsapp Web
So, i have some answers.
After i flashed the Yota 3 to the Yota 3+, everything was working well, including Whatsapp Web.
After the first Update, the small one with 16MB, i lost the ability of booting into the stock recovery, everything else worked fine.
After the next Update, the big one with 1,4GB, i still lost the stock recovery an Whatsapp Web didn´t work.
I think, i flash my phone back to get all functions back. Especially because the last time of the heavy phone crash i had the newest update also.
Thank you Sodasistso, your answer cleared it up.
So the newest firmware is just buggy.
And congratulations that you were successful to flash your yota3 to plus ,
I wasn't aware of that before I read the other thread about it.

After flashing from Yota3 to Yota3+ scanner works fine, and it's true, that after big second update Yota3+ scanner stop working.
Scaner on other phone apps works fine, I think problem it's only in whatsapp which use his internal scan tools maybe.
I have found temporaly solution for that - add windows whatsapp app to whatsapp.
I turn on in Windows 10 Zoom for 200%-400%, then I start Whatsapp app on Windows 10, and that qr code in this app aj zoom to whole monitor.
After that I try run scanner in Yota3+ whatsapp and try scan it. After 4-5 try, I do that I scan it from 50cm from monitor.

I have found temporaly solution for that - add windows whatsapp app to whatsapp.
I turn on in Windows 10 Zoom for 200%-400%, then I start Whatsapp app on Windows 10, and that qr code in this app aj zoom to whole monitor.

THANK YOU ! :good:
that did the trick! I did not expect the scanner would scan anything at all in this mood,
but when zooming the QR-code to the max screen size and reducing brightness of the backlit notebook display,
the whatsapp was able to read it when placing the QR-code in the white area of the scanning area. :fingers-crossed:
