I9500 rooted Avoid PIN request when activesync enabled dye to exchange account

I just added an exchange account to my I9500 because I really need it but its a waste of time and I don't really like to use the PIN MANDATORY security.
Does anyone know how to avoid this requirement? I remember I installed a zip in my old SGS2 an it solved the problem, now I'd really appreciate avoiding it in my S4.
Thanks!:thumbup:

Rooted or not? - If not then not sure maybe it's a hands free thing where the phone assumes you are driving therefore disables it.
If you are rooted, then theres bound to be a mod, there's always a mod

It seems somehow the radios and camera are linked, I recently had a case where someone could only use WiFi with the camera on, it would turn off automatically when the camera app closed. And another who could only get a phone signal when the camera app was running...
Very weird.

Tablet SIM on galaxy s4

Hey guys, I have quite an uncommon question. I searched all over and couldn't find anything.
Can I take my tablet 3G sim card and connect it to my smartphone for Internet access?
Thanks.

Should be able to, but phone calls and texts might not work if it's a data only Sim.

Yeah but that's exactly what I need. Cause I have an iPhone 4 that I use for texts and calls, then I have my sgs4 gpe that I use only for data. Thanks

Hacked already?!

Less than a week on the market and the fingerprint sensor has been hacked already! Glad I didn't switch!

Glad you didn't switch? LOL That's probably the dumbest thing I have read all day, no offence. You can fool any fingerprint scanner like this pretty much. I tested this on my payroll time clock scanner and the same thing. It's not hard to do.
Yeah but with the PayPal integration, if someone hacked your phone with the fingerprint scanner, your money isn't safe really is it?

This is the reason they are putting it less secure than PIN and Password as a screen unlock method.
So first they need to take a picture of your fingerprint and print this with thick inkt than the need woodglue

Seriously, did anybody really expect, that this fingerprint reader cannot be fooled??
Turn it off and forget it!:thumbup:

So just use a regular pin like you do on your note 3. Your logic is kinda flawed.
All they did was prove it can be hacked like any other password. What they neglected to mention is that the preparation needed for this is so much harder than just looking over your shoulder and stealing a regular password or pin.
The best password I had was on cm7 for my droid x and x2. It was a gesture swipe on a background of your choice but it allowed for multiple swipes and with no hints or bypasses it was impossible to hack. Never understood why they discontinued it and it hasn't been implemented in android yet.

Isn't that the case for any form of password? If someone got your PIN/password/pattern, they could have access to all of those things you mentioned, without ever needing your fingerprint in the first place. So...what's the problem here?
Pro tip: Everything is hackable. Thinking otherwise is only being naive.
