Anyone found a way to disable exchange security yet? I have a school exchange account that forces me to put a PIN lock on. Every time I turn my screen on I have to enter a PIN, which is really really really annoying. I know there are hacks of WinMo and Android that disable this "feature".

Hi there.
Is there a way to automatically lock the screen and keys when the phone is idle for a while?
Kinda like the device lock funktion, but without entering a password.
I'm not worried about abuse, rather about accidentally activating telephone functions while carrying it around.
Basically I just want the phone to automatically push and hold the "hangup/lock"-Button when the phone is idle for 5 minutes.
I know something similar can be done in the system settings, but only in combination with a password which gets rather annoying over time.
alternatively: is there a way to deactivate WM6's password complexity rules (so it will accept empty/trivial passwords)?
Here you go...

Hi fotoingo,
This is just what I needed - thanks.
As a non dev and just returning to WinMo after a long absence, please can you advise how I would get the hard keys on the X1 to work during a call and just disable the touchscreen?
Thanks
I keep getting the device lock keypad popping up whenever I power up my phone or every hour which is the setting I have. But now I want to disable it. I think it automatically got set due to an exchange server I was connecting to but now I don't need that anymore. The device lock setup won't let me clear the pin number. Is there a registry setting I could clear? Any help is appreciated.
Hi!
So I got my HD2 on Wednesday, and the first thing I did was connect it with my email's (personal and work) and unfortunately, my work has Exchange 2008 running with a lame security policy (actually, I like security, so I really don't mind) so my phone has to lock itself against a PIN. My question is, the box "Prompt if phone unused for" is greyed out (but checked) and I have it set to prompt after 1 hour. However, everytime I lock the screen, even if I immediately click back in, I have to type my PIN. Is that also being enforced by Exchange? Do I always have to type in my PIN no matter what I put for the wait time?
Oh, and for a quick question, I noticed that if the phone is locked and I'm listening to Slacker, if I try and use the volume rocker, it doesn't change the volume. The media player works fine, just not slacker. Is that a Slackerism or is it because I have a PIN protected phone?
Thanks for any help!
Hi to all,
I have activated Exchange Activesync email account on my HTC Wildfire (original HTC sense GUI with Android 2.1 upd1) including Calendar and Contacts sync.
There's Exchange firm policy enforcing affected devices to use device lock via Activesync with 10 minutes timeout.
The very annoying behaviour is, although that there's 10 minutes timeout to lock the device, when I push the power off button (on the upper side of the device) to turn off display etc. and then turn on it, always popup the lock dialog, and I must enter the password ( after less than 10 minutes ).
iPhone I used before didn't want to enter the password every time I "wake up" it (only after 10 minutes of inactivity.
It's very annoying for me, I hope u understand my question and apologize grammar mistakes.
Any suggestion how to fix that ( I don't want to disable the lock, only customize the bahaviour)
Thank you very much in advance.

Noticed this today while a friend was messing with my phone while it was standing on the table locked.
He pressed the lock button, the screen showed up with the clock, wallpaper and stuff.
My phone has a pattern lock, so he was unable to access the main launcher screen. But he was able to pull the notification/status top bar and do stuff like change brightness, disable wifi and bluetooth and so on.
To me it does look like a security flaw. Is there any way I can block that?
Thanks everyone!
I see that. But when i try to open anything, my pin code is required. Do you have a screen lock pin set up?
Edit. Ok i see what u mean. Quick settings can be changed, but not the settings gear icon. That requires a pin. Huh!
This is bonkers! Some of these may even potentially involve more serious security concerns, but in any case there ought to be a way to turn off this access. I do not want to allow anyone to change my Wifi network, Bluetooth device, open a hotspot, use the flashlight or even change the volume while it is locked - especially since I can instantly unlock it myself with a fingerprint.
This is really crazy indeed. I hope Google fix this on the next Android release or even let the users decide if they want this or not. I really don't want to root my device because of this but I don't see another option right now.
i don't like that a potential thief can turn off DATA even though the phone is locked.
I think this was meant to make toggling wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, flashlight, do not disturb easily accessible.
