Facelock option is greyed out. It says disabled by administrator. Also Slide option is greyed out. What to do? RESOLVED. Thank you all.
Do you have any apps that might have disabled these? I'm thinking security or anti-theft applications.

If you add an exchange account this will happen. Have you added a corporate mail account?

Yes, VPN makes it mandatory to use pin, password or pattern. Slide unlock, faceunlock are disabled if VPN is used
You may try option Clear credentials in Security options of the settings.
It`s the VPN

I had that very same problem with my SGS3 after logging in to the VPN of a university I visited. I had to delete the certificates related to the VPN login, otherwise it won't work.

Did you remove the exchange acount and reset the mail permissions before installing the apk?
adrynalyne: can you put the apk back up or send it to me, I would like to try it on a fresh install before an exchange account is created on the device.
I can confirm it just force closes as well.
Thank you and I appreciate it. Just so you know, when I go to set it up, it says Security Policies required, (Your Exchange server requires that you enable security policies to continue synchronizing, would you like to continue? Once I click on OK, The 4 policies it's trying to implement are:
1. Erase all Data
2. Set password rules
3. Monitor screen-unlock attempts
4. Lock the Screen
I hit Activate and it asks me to create my PIN which I do, then click OK and then I get my failure notice, lol.
Exchange Policy Error
Unable to sing in to your Exchange account because your policy settings are incompatible with those on the server. Please contact you IT team for assistance. I click on Detail and get: Security policy required:

I hope this helps in troubleshooting the issue.

Hello,
I'm having a tiny problem with my new S2 - under 'screen lock settings', I can't enable the swipe lock.
All options but PIN code and Password are grey, hence not click-able.
Why is this?
How do I enable it?
Thanks.

This, or you have one or more user certificates installed. The certificate storage requires a higher lock-mechanism strength.

I have Zenprise installed (this isn't my personal phone, I received it from work. I was told I have to install that app in order to synchronize my mail with the cellphone).
Is it possible that's the reason?
Does anybody have a clue how I could enable a swipe lock? Maybe an app that I ought to download?
Thanks again.

Settings>Scroll Down to "add account"> add your account > Once done, click on the old account from the settings menu> hit the (3-dot) menu button and press remove account. Wiping data would also do the trick if you were willing to go that route.

As far as I'm aware. The "initial id" is not stored anywhere. There's only the Google Account that is currently synced.

Did you try new Google KitKat email app? Make sure that you install both Email and Exchange 2 email apk.
http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-5...s-android-4-4-google-apps-downloads-20131101/
the easy answer is to use enhanced email, can be found in Google Play. I am using that myself

Best most money on an app spent!.... NOT...DOESN'T WORK IN MY CASE...
And you know 15 minutes are not enough to even try it due to the options and testing and hoping. Bought it long ago. In my case it didn't work...
Company has its own app. And another 2 apps checking if the app is admin etc.
Only thing that could be done is either to input the pass automatically when I unlock the phone. Maybe something via xposed. And add a second screen unlock option.
Somewhat like the iPhone jailbreak has it...loved the security bypass plus android pattern unlock....

It depends obviously then on how the exchange server is configured. In my case e-email bypasses the security demands from the exchange server completely. When I had my HTC sensation, I used a mod you can find in the HTC sensation development, search for exchange - there is also something about using it with other phones.
see this post for files/kudos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47063058&postcount=406
however, you don't need to push via ADB or anything:
1) uninstall your current email and exchange apks (via titanium backup or something similar)
2) either wipe dalvik cache or delete the associated email and exchange odex files in /data/dalvik-cache
3) install the 2 APKs (i usually install exchange first, then email)
4) setup your email
been working perfectly for me for the past week.
EDIT: this is the new 4.4 email/exchange, btw, with the gmail-style interface. it's fantastic.
I would really like to find a way to dodge the lockscreen and other policies that are enforced by Exchange. I don't want to use the KK email.
I use an app called Keystore Unlocker from the play store...must be rooted. You can skip the step adding a VPN and it will still work.

Can you explain the process? I've got the app and have it set up but I'm not entirely sure that I understand what it's doing...
The policies are still in place.

If you are just trying to get past the pin/password requirement this app stores it so you don't have to enter it when unlocking your phone. Not sure if it works for PIN security but it works for PASSWORD security.
Follow these steps:
1. Open app and click on Credentials store password (enter your lockscreen password)
2. Click Try to unlock
3. Check Auto Unlock
4. Click VPN w/o password for >=4.0
5. On the next screen click on # 3. Press Here (to remove phone lock)
That should do it and remove the lockscreen password that exchange forces you to use.

Have you tried simply increasing the lock timer to, say, 30 min?
I find I don't often have to enter the PIN with it set high like this.

I still want it to lock. I just want to use the pattern instead of the pin and that's not possible with the Exchange policy.

real quick- you do realize that the kitkat email that i posted is in fact modded to dodge those policies, yes? that was why i posted it. install them, set up your account - it will still tell you "your account needs some extra settings" blah, but it won't actually enforce them.
if you're talking about wanting to use the LG email app, well, i don't believe anyone has made a mod for that. i find the new kitkat email app superior anyways, so if you're willing to try it, that is a solution.

You technically shouldn't need to in order to set it up, but it's not a bad idea to make a nandroid. And it'll make the dalvik wipe/odex removal easier. That part may not even be necessary, but I had some issues the first time installing it where Exchange Services started force closing repeatedly.
