Hi guys,
I hope I can put my question here
My problem is after I synchronized my TyTn with my computer at work, there's automaticly a password lock set for 5 minutes. So If I don't do anything after 5 minutes my screen will lock and he'll ask my password. I have also TomTom on my TyTn and if I'm running it, the screen will also lock after 5 min and when I'm driving my car and want to see the directions on my display and not the password screen
I can't turn off the password in the settings/lock screen. Is there some other way to disable the password screen or change the time from 5 min to 30 min? Maybe through changes in the registry?
Hope anyone can help me!
Greetz,
Sander
You need to have a higher security policy than exchnage does to alter the password. I belive that the keys are protected in the metabase by the manager role...
You could always write an app which mimics the touch being touched every 4:30?

Hi,
I am trying out AKU2 with Push e-mail for my organisation. I want to implement a security policy that forces a PIN number and locks the screen after a period of no use. All works fine, so far so good.
However when the device is actively in use for something like tomtom GPS, even when powered externally. the screen lock cuts in requiring you to enter the PIN whilst driving, which clearly makes it unusable for GPS or really even as a carphone (although voice dialling on a bluetooth headset works even with the screen locked)
Does anyone know of a solution to prevent the lock kicking in whilst on external power?
Thanks
Richard
I have the same problem here. It makes TomTom unuseable after 30 min. Mostly I'll drive a little further than that! :wink:
Does anyone else has this problem, and hopefully an solution?
This is another aspect of the upgrade that I hate (in addition to the fact that you can't get vibrating notifications of emails while the device is in standby).
It's a problem for a lot of people....
I've updated my Universal to the AKU ROM and I'm having the same problem with TomTom, iGuidance, and OncourseNavigator (aka. Navigon). I don't know of a solution yet. I'm hoping someone will write a little application that will allow the user to specify "if program 'a' is running, prevent the screen lock. When program 'a' shuts down (i.e. exits), then re-start the timer for the screen lock").
I'd be willing to pay a lot of money for an application like that right now....
Same Problem
Same problem here in the german QTek ROM.
What about collecting a bug-list (No vibration on push email, Lock screen problem....) in the forum and sending this to QTek?

Is'nt it possible to make that same application to force a screenlock by pressing a hardkey? (on my work the phone is laying on my desk and i dont like that someone read my mail, msn or hotmail.
When there is an application which can do that, i don't have to use the automatic screenlock and there is no problem anymore when using Tom TOm

>>When there is an application which can do that, i don't have to use the automatic screenlock
The problem with AKU2 policy is that the administrator of the exchange server decides whether you use the automatic screenlock and how long it locks after, the length of the password etc etc... The settings are greyed out after the 1st time you connect to your exchange server... so you no longer have a choice on the automatic screenlock...

And it even stays like that after you have deleted the exchangeserver!!!! :evil:
So watch out trying to connect to your companies server with your mobile device. I think a hardreset is the only way to get rid of this annoying pin. :evil:
Hi All,
I set my 8125 up to synch with my work exchange server in order to keep my calendar and contacts up to date.
My work server enforces a device based password now frequently when I go to access the device I have to put in a password before it unlocks and I can access it's functions.
Anyone know how to disable the password requirement?
I am not talking about removing the password to connect to the exchange server, just the enforced password to access the device itself after it has been sitting idle for an hour or so.
I figure it has probably set registry values to control the password type, size and frequency it has to be entered as well as enabling/disabling it.
Anyone have any knowledge of how this is implemented on WM5 with push email?

Thanks
Could someone post a more direct answer to this question? I can't find anything on zenyee to address this....
Thanks!
EDIT: Never mind - I found the "Zenyee.com Stay Unlock.zip" utility here: http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13030&page=2. (attached in case it disappears again!)
StayUnlock

Zenyee StayUnlock worked fine for me until I upgraded to an 8525. Now I am not sure if it is working or not. Once it informed me that the security policy was being applied but I have not seen it since and occasionally when I turn on the phone I have to enter a password. It happens every time if I power the phone all the way off and then on again.
I just modified the lock timeout to be 24 hours so that might help.
In order to access that setting you may have to modify a registry key to make the option availabe. I had to do this on my 8125 but the 8525 already had the key set. Details of that key change are in the same thread of the link above.
Working on 8925?
Can anyone get this thing to work on an 8925?
I installed the Cab Zenyee.comStayUnlock.cab
I see StayUnlock in the Startup Items Folder.
I see Zenyee.comStayUnlock in the "Remove Programs" window.
I have checked my registry and it is already set to 1.
I still get the prompt for password every 20 minutes.
Do I need to do anything besides install this cab (since my registry is already set properly)? I keep reading that people are "modifying the lock timeout". What does that mean and how do you do it? Heck, changing this to once every 24 hrs is MUCH better than every 20 minutes.
Robert
Nevermind. I just found out where the "password settings" was. (settings > personal tab > lock). I've set that to 24 hours. We'll see if Stay Unlock keeps that from prompting me every 24 hrs.
Robert
I installed the .cab file that I found on here and I was very pleased with the results
I then cooked it into my ROM and am still pleased
One thing that was slightly nagging me however was the notification you get when the policy is reapplied. For some reason our IT dept have configured the policy to refresh every hour, which I can obviously bypass with this excellent utility. Unfortunately every hour there is a notification and a (slightly) annoying bleep as the utility kicks in. Not that noticable but still a bit annoying.
Anyway I went direct to the site (http://www.zenyee.com/) of the developer and found a newer version (2.0) that operates in silent mode by default
Excellent..... Hope our IT dept don't find out

i personally would be more concerned about IT telling HR.
As an IT Admin i can say those policies are there as much to protect corporate info as to annoy end users.
Stay Unlocked
I've been using this little app for 2 years since my Kaiser days and I love it. Now they got a new version which doesn't prompt security at all!

That's true and reasonable, but at the same time you have no chance to modify the applied settings temporarily, even when it causes more trouble than maintains security. Just an example: You use your PDA for car navigation. Chances that it will be stolen while you are driving are extremely low, but it is very dangerous to enter a PIN every 15-20 minutes during driving. For these occasional situations it is very useful to override default policy settings and set PIN activation interval to several hours instead of minutes.
Completely agree on this. I could have lived with the lock policy when the device stayed unlocked when plugged in, but keying a PIN while driving should not be done.
I had the same issue before with Blackberry Connect. Last friday I switched to ActiveSync push synchronization and stumbled into the WM lockscreen issue.
Zenyee's tool seems (just using it for some hours) to work on WM 6.5.x (23xxx build) Energy ROM.
This is EXASPERATING !
The password screen pop up always after 1 mn without touching screen.
This is independant of the settings.
Is there a possibility to modify this behaviour ?
Thanks in advance.
do you use exchange push mail? policies can invoke password screen.
I spoke about the Universal password.
It appears even if you do nothing after 1 mn and even if you do anything except touching the screen.
If you watch TV it appears, if you watch video it appears, if you phone it appears...
Exasperating !
My previous XDA IIs didn't do that.
Vince
are you sure that you don't use the "password protect" in the settings???
You could always remove the password.....
Maybe it's something to do with both screen blanking and keyboard timeout settings. Not just one but 2 different settings.
Yes, I use the "password settings" and I want it, but I don't want the password screen which appear itself after one minute.
The setting is "0 minute".
I want it if I switch off the PDA but I don't want it itself as a "screensaver" after one minute !
Vince
Me too
Hi all, this is happening to me too. I've just installed 'Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE', and the Universal asked me for a password when I configured push email (like it did under WM5).
However, unlike WM5, it now comes on after just a moment of inactivity - it also demands a password when the machine's been woken up by a phone call, meaning so far I've missed every call I've had, while I'm entering my PIN (infact, I'm worried that this PIN entering process is causing the call to hang up).
Any thoughts?
Many thanks in advance.
Hi,
An email synchronization application (Intellisync) has replaced my password screen with its own which has small buttons, difficult to press
Is there a way to reset the password screen to the initial or to something else ?
Thanks,
Cristian
can we give password to messages (inbox)
what i do is set my phone to lock after 1min. Also useful if phone getx stolen, as they have to hard reset to use it.
Start-settings-lock i think.
