Hi guys,

My N10 is stock and rooted, does anyone know how to remove the key-guard policy from exchange on this? Much appreciated

Exchange email security.

I tried to set up an account to my Exchange email at work using the default email app on my TF101. When I set up an account it requires that I enable all of these security settings on the tab like having a PIN and encrypting data. I don't want to do all of that. I realize that this is something set up by my Exchange administrator but I am not sure they even did it knowingly and anyway I don't want to have to deal with it to check email.
Does anyone know how to bypass this? Searches of these forums and the web show that there are some modded email apks for other platforms that let you bypass the security settings. I have not seen any such mods for ICS on the TF101.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello,
I do not believe the stock email is able to handle the security settings from an exchange server. You need to look at other programs like Moxier Mail or TouchDown.
+1 for touch down. Works great but it is $20
Enhanced email is another option. I got it from free app of the day by Amazon. At first, it did not work on android 3.0+, but it works fine now. It gives you the option to ignore security policies.
Alternatively, if you decompile the email.apk, I believe you can force a variable so that the email app always tells the exchange server you have sufficient security enabled (I'm not exactly sure where must be changed).

I couldn't agree more. Do the trial first to see if you like it. I don't recommend bypassing the security. You can unknowingly pass a virus through your corporate exchange. Hopefully, one day, they will resolve this issue in the Android exchange client.

+1... Touchdown. Forget any other Exchange apps.
+1 for Enhanced Email - optionally bypasses the admin security settings - works fine on Honeycomb and ICS too.
Exchange Admin
Hello,
When setting up exchange servers in the past, the default exchange policy is to have those features enabled. Even if those are DISABLED, the tablet will still ask to create the partnership. I believe this is so it can be wiped remotely. It seems ICS just tells you it is going to do all of those things as a generic warning. I have noticed this is only on ICS though. If you click ok, it shouldn't ask you to create a PIN or anything if it isn't actually required. We currently only have exchange 2010 in production in a test environment, so I have yet to look for the setting to disable this feature entirely. Hope this helps you understand how it works at least a little.

Should work Or you can report @P_Toti G2 TweaksBox I think the solution would be.

[Q] Bypass email pin lock on Kitkat

Hey all, I'm trying to get the Email app bypassing the forced pin lock when you set up a corporate exchange account. Has anybody had luck on Kitkat? The method I used on JB is no longer working, and I've tried a couple more with no luck.
Thanks!

There's some Xposed module for it. Bypass exchange security or something like that.

Just use mailwise or enhanced email. They bypasses the pin lock.

Exchange server screenlock problem (not the standard)

Hi all,
I have a problem with my new Nexus 6P and the exchange server in combination with my screenlock.
Whenever i set up the exchange mail account, i have to set up a pin or password to unlock my phone. When i want to change back the pin / password to a pattern, i cant and it says: "disabled by administrator encryption policy or credential storage"
Normally the reply on this post would be, your company has set up these minimum requirements for security purposes and you cant put up the mail/agenda unless you accept the terms of the company.
The weird thing is, my company doesn't`t require any security measures at all. If you want to swipe to unlock, you can (well, other people can ).
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
If you need more background / tell info, let me know!
Thanks in advance,
Arjan
anyone?
Exchange must be requiring that or it wouldn't force it on you.
You could always use a 3rd party exchange mail client if it bothers you about it restricting your lock options. I use touchdown (contains exchange in one sandbox) my phone is still mine if the admins wipe the phone it just wipes touchdown.
Don't have to use touchdown but it's just an example.
Normally you would say that exchange forces the security, but i went by the IT-department and they have shown me that all restrictions are off.
A third party app is a possibility, but i'd rather use the app i have to combine multiple email-accounts and agenda's.
I still haven't found a solution for the problem. I really don't get why my phone restricts my screenlock options, when the IT-department has deleted all restrictions.

APP for Exchange Bypass

Hi all,
I want to buy S8, but my only worry is that the app I'm using to bypass exchange policy will not work. (App name "Exchange Security Bypass" from Xposed Module Repository)
I tried it on S7 and it didn't work. so at the moment I'm still with my S5.
Anyone tried it by any chance on S8?
or any other app that can help me bypass the Exchange security? (our company forces encryption & being device admin on our devices which to both I say - NO).
Would like to mention that my device is not rooted and I'd prefer to not root the S8. the app above works like a charm on an S5 without root.
Thanks,
Poly
I've used nine email to bypass exchange policy, might be worth trying that.
I'm a Nine user

But since the policy comes from Exchange all I got was one mail in the Nine app saying that only once I finish encrypting & adding the company as device administrators the mail will work again.
Once I installed the app of Exchange bypass on the S5 - it started working again.
Do you know if Nine added a security baypass as a new thing and potentially I don't need the bypass anymore?
thanks,
Poly
Nine allow you to apply security at the application level. Since S8 is encrypted by default, unless your company push a lot more weird policy like blocking camera and such, it shouldn't be that bad anymore.
The "Exchained" app doesn't need rooting and works with Nine too.
