After upgrading to 2.1, the phone forced me to enter a phone unlock password when I setup my exchange mail account. This sucks!! I don't want to lock my phone - too much trouble to unlock. Looks like my company's IT policy is enforcing this. But with 1.5, I could use exchange mail without requiring a phone lock. Has anyone figured out how to work around this? I might have to look for a different email client.
Unfortunately, our IT isn't so obliging. It's really dumb, because I can get around IT policy by launching a browser to read email. Obviously, native email client is much easier to use.
Has anyone figured out how to run Lockpicker while still having a pattern for security? It appears to eliminate all security. I would like to either have a pattern or just do the obvious... bring up a number pad when a pin is required.
- Set the lock pattern - Set up your exchange account - Install lockpicker - Now you will be prompted for your lock pattern Otherwise, there is another app that I have not tried yet: Removing Keyguard Password Policy due to Exchange (HTC Sense & Milestone & Froyo) - xda-developers Or see the post above.
