I am using Exchange server for work email and use LockPicker to get by the constant entering of a security code to un-lock the phone. Not sure I should load 2.2 because the developer has informed me that LockPicker will not work with 2.2. If anybody is running 2.2 and Exchange server, does 2.2 offer an option of the screen time out vs. the exchange lockout????
Im running exchange and have to enter the code if the phone sleeps for more than 15 minutes. The time is adjustable, plus the code entry keyboard is huge not a problem to enter at all, overall its a minor pain but workable. The guys that developed lockpicker have an app out that disables this, it is only in the beta stage now and not released to the general public but should be soon.
if found that any of my end users were attempting to disable/bypass the Exchange security...i would haul their ass to HR faster than they could enter their PIN.

He He, I'm thinking if I were an IT guy i'd do that too. Lucky for me I'm an end user, I'm hoping somebody comes up with a way to just toggle the time to a longer value say options for 30 - 60 minutes. In reality the new code entry screen is a breeze to use, not such a big deal as before. I'm just wondering if the time delayed is specified by the Exchange server or if it is built into the phone app.

I haven't played with it yet, but pray there is no way for my end users to set a 60min lockout period. that's just waaaaaay too long. how long do you have before your work desktop auto-locks? 15min? and that is for a device that doesn't move and if anyone else is at it would draw attention.
perhaps you feel that you are not important on the food chain and have nothing important in your email. but as these type devices get more powerful folks keep more data on them... pictures, movies, xls, doc, mp3 etc. plus tons of email (with email addresses, names and numbers), some folks will setup the VPN function and map network folders or setup VNC/RDC connections (server names, ip addresses and domain name).
it's not "JUST" that someone may see who you're going to lunch with or that your racquetball game got rescheduled. its all that other crap that concerns us. stuff that you may or may not have. for things that you probably don't see as being a possible security breach. sorry if this has an overbearing tone, it's one of those things i have to beat into folks head everyday.
"i don't care if they know my password, maybe they'll do my work." /facepalm
no...they won't.
ask your favorite IT nerd how many pwd's he has floating in his head and how many times he has to unlock his computer each day.

Hi,
when I open the GTalk-Service Monitor by dialing *#*#8255#*#* and press "Send Heartbeat to server" I always get a FC of com.google.android.talk.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
bump.
noone?
Can anyone give it a try and tell me what happens after sending the heartbeat to google?
Well, I did what you said, and yes - force close everytime.
Probably everyone will get this, I doubt that you'll encounter the error only on some 2.2 devices. Hope this helps you.
me too. but how exactly is *#*#8255#*#* info useful for non-devs?
I have a long existing problem of "lost connection to server". cant this help somehow?

Do you figure it out, how to repair Gtalk? I have this problem, too. And my market says: server error
Is there a way to get whatapp for free after the free trial?
on iPhones it's 1 dollar to purchase it and you only pay one time.
in Android phones it's 1 year free trial and then 2$ per year...
Why do they even take money for it?
I mean, Kakaotalk is free anyway, and it's as good as whatsapp...
Please tell me if there's a way, even contact me in private messages if this is illeagal to talk about such things on here.
funny. i had it on my iphone and my sensation and my sgs2 and iv never had to pay for it and i got it from the market. what do you have to pay?
If you go into WhatsApp and hit the menu button, go to Settings and get into Account Info, you'll see that your Account Type is "Free Trial" in which it will have a Service Expiration. Mine says Feb 23, 2012.
If you press on "Purchase online", it will forward you to your browser in which it will cost "only $1.99 for one year of service!".
Why not use viber? or skype those are free.
chat on have launch, just download it and go for trial...
i purchased the iphone version for $0.99 when i was using iphone 4 then switched to sgs2 and mine shows expiration of oct 2020, didnt pay for android one
I do have skype and viber - skype's just for video calls, the messeging there isn't great and I barely use viber.
I even have Kakaotalk but no one in here seem to have it as well.
More over, we have a group of three people when one's using Adroid (myself), another one with an iphone 4 an the third one's using symbian o Whatsapp is the best way to go.
I didn't look for alternatives, I just asked if there's a way you know to not purchase it and still using it for free...

Just pay the very reasonable and minimal fee and stop being a friggin' cheapskate then.
ChatOn might also be an alternative

same here, i mailed whatsapp company, why they etended it because i allready used it one year...
maybe if you pay for the service you get some kind of extra's ?
because, why would they extend something they trail to users for only one year ?
dont get it, also i think, there are so many free Ping apps, why dont they just make an ad version or free version with less options then the pro version ?
dont get these people, when i get answer to my question from whatsapp, I'll report back here!

Does anyone know why when someone sends you a message on Whatapp, it only shows in the notification bar "Message from X", as opposed to the actually message? Every other program I used (Messaging, ChompSMS, Google Chat, Facebook Chat, Twitter) is able to show you the message on the notification bar.
For Whatsapp, you must open the program. Is there a way to change this?

There used to be a setting that allowed message content to be shown in the notification bar, guess it's been removed at some point though.
I've emailed the devs a few times with bugs/feature stuff, they're pretty responsive, why not get in contact with them n request it
If you buy it on the iPhone for $0.99 and then put your SIM in an Android phone you will get a free lifetime subscription on Android.
I downloaded Whatsapp from the market about 3 months ago. Very recently I got a message that my account had been upgraded. It's now active until 2021. I've never paid for the app and can not explain why it is now active until 2021. But I'm happy anyway

I've been using Whatsapp for a year and half. Never got a warning. Its basically free forever.
Or just backup everything, fresh install from a ROM you love with wiping all data will reset your "trail" time.

It sure is, but its not famous, yet.
I think because its Android exclusive for now.
I honestly liked it more than Whatsapp, itself.

That wiping suggestion you make doesn't work. I wipe my phone a lot because I try a lot of custom roms. I need to reinstall Whatsapp everytime and it still shows me an expiry date of Jan 17, 2012. It is based on your phonenumber registration and not on some locally stored file
Paid 0.99 in iphone for long time....now got 10 years license in Android.
I can not get help from my companies IT guy to help me set up my work email on my phone. Is there any way around getting it setup with out him? I have tried K9 app with no help. I have found some apps that cost more than i want to spend if they are not going to work without the IT guys help. I am thinking this will be a big fat no. But, if there is a way I know someone here will know.

What kind of email provider are you using(gmail,yahoo etc). If its a well known provider there should be a free app on the play store. Once you have the app just follow instructions on how to set it up. Or if y
Thanks for the response. After messing with this most of the night and researching and reading a lot. I found a work around this to make it work. Now just to see if our IT guy catches it. Hopefully I am good.

We use exchange at work and phone access is not allowed. I forward all my work email to gmail. That does not let me reply with my phone, but my office sends outage alerts to email, so I see them and can call in to respond. Not the greatest did, but it gets around an IT department that will not allow remote access.

Yeah I think that way is the best way around it without having extra programming to the access program commands.

Hi I'm new to these forums and I must say I love them! There's so much useful information!
So I thought that when buying this tablet I would get a bunch of free stuff. (50 gigs of dropbox, free linkedin pro for 3 months, etc...) I can't find any information about this anymore, I'm I missing something? Does anyone have any clue how to do this? I have already registered my device with Samsung btw.
Thanks in advance,

You should receive an email detailing the offers, sent to the address from which you registered your Samsung account. BTW, some of the offers, like the NYT access, begin from the time you register the account, NOT from the time you first access the offer. So, the first time I tried to access the Times premium content, it told me something like my premium access trial had expired, and asked whether I'd like to continue with a full-price subscription?
HA! Not likely...

Yes that's what I thought. I just double checked and I did receive an email after registering, but didn't see any links to get free stuff. In comparison I still had an email from when I registered my S3 with a link to get free stuff. I'm confused about what I else I can/should try... :s

Have you registered your device via the Galaxy Perks page?
Log in to your Samsung Account via a web browser (you can use the above link). Click on your name in the upper right, and select "My Profile". Verify that your device shows up. Sometimes just logging in to your Samsung Account via a web browser seems to trigger it, so it doesn't hurt to try even if you know you already registered your device.
Have you added the Samsung Account to the Note 2014 yet? If not, launch Samsung Apps and sign in with your Samsung Account when prompted. You might need to press the menu button and then select "Sign In" if it doesn't automatically ask you.
If you have, remove the Samsung Account, launch Samsung Apps and sign in again.
If you've done all that, you SHOULD get the "<NAME>, your gift for registering..." email at the Gmail account you specified when you registered.
