I just got my sgs2 this afternoon and something strange I cannot figure out is when I sync up with my job's exchange server via activesync it is enforcing a security policy to have me use either a PIN or password lock screen. Before my sgs2 I had a sgs1 Epic 4G on Sprint and using the same connection method, I was never forced to have a password or PIN.
Any ideas?

Its a policy set from your exchange admin and your previous phone most likely did not have an updated email client that would enforce it but our GS2 will. If you search google there is a email.apk with no securities that bypasses this. Your phone will need to be rooted though for you to get it to work. Thats what I was using for a while until I mentioned this to my exchange admin and he removed the pin security restriction policy.

Thanks -- I may see if I can edit the email.apk file myself, as I don't want to lose the sgs2 email layout (split screen, folding dates, etc.). I used to use Enhanced Email on my E4G and I can't even use that on my SGS2 now. Weird.
In case anyone has the same issue, this .zip file attached to the OP worked perfect for me.

i just tried it and still the same error username or password incorrect !! is it because i have easy battery saver runnin in behind ???
I doubt the battery app is causing it. The only problem I had with exchange is that Comcast sometimes did not like my exchange servers.

hmmm yeh i was also wondering about port no. also cuz in my dinc i had 143 as port no. though i was using imap( does that matter ) but on my cm10 09-06 it shows 443... anyways, i would make sure visit the tech service desk today
are you makin sure you set what ever the server name is as well. sometimes it doesnt auto find the server and that could cause it like mine is mail.*****.com

yea i put everything as it was suggested by our school; how to setup on Android phone.....somehow it just keep saying username or password incorrect
try manual setup with domain\username

You might need manual setup. See if you need to use the domain\username, password and then your mail.schooldomain.com server details.
you can also check the ActiveSync setup by going to - https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/
if his school is giving him android directions then as is deff setup. now what you say about the domain\ is very possible but i doubt it because i am using the same rom as him and administrate an exchange 2010 server which has more security reqs as far as stuff like that goes so other than a mistyped key idk what the problem for him could be unless they are requiring caps in username.
My guess would be that you're using server/username as opposed to server\username. Again, only a guess.

What about ssl? Do you have that checked? If your school requires it and you don't have it checked you might get that error.

I recently set up my S3 to access my company's Exchange server. I also had a hard time setting it up initially and had to do a manual setup.
Since you are getting both a username and password error first make sure that you are using the right exchange server address.
For me it is something like
exch2010.servername.com .
Next you should make sure that your user name is preceded by your domain name. In my case my server name and domain name are the same.
So it should look something like.
domain\username
Hope this helps.

Just to add on here. My server name and domain name are also the same however the trick that works for me is that i cannot put in my domain name prior to my username, if i do it will fail to connect. I do have to input the backslash prior to my username though or again it will fail to connect. Also is your IT dept using a security policy on the server side to control mobile device access to Activesync? I know from my own experience that if you use a security policy to prevent unprovisioned devices from accessing the Activesync account the user will see an "incorrect password error repeatedly, at least on some phones like the iPhone for instance.

is there anyway where i can download the ssl library ? i guess its something to do with it ... i give up trying on exchange, trying out on IMAP..but still gives error saying Can't safely connect to server.(javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted: ssl=0x5c057350. Failure in SSL libary, usally a protocol error. error:140770FC
thnks
there has been a lot of good feedback and suggestion to resolving this issue ... and if none of this advice is working still... i'd nandroid (back it up), wipe it all, and go stock. after that if you're still having an issue then possibly their setup is not working
Just reverted back to 4.12 and works fine. My company forces Administrator access which in turn enforces having a pin. I get prompted for neither of these with 4.2 and therefore exchange email will not work. Anyone else facing this issue? It appears something is broken. I am on stock 4.2 rooted and odexed. Appreciate any suggestions
At my work we also use exchange and have enforced pin and a lot of other things, i don't have any problems at all. When i set up my exchange account on my phone i got promted that the exchange server demanded all kinds of remote access, pin being one of them and since i didn't have one it took me to the settings menu and asked me to set a pin code, just like it did on 4.1.2

I can connect just fine. However, everyday it starts over. Meaning that, if I have it set to sync for a week. It will regenerate the emails from the beginning of the week until it catches up. I reset it to sync one day only and it is still starting over.

Keith, what you describe above happens to myself and another colleague with the same phone but completely inconsistently. It will reset itself and start downloading email all over again.
I have the same issue on unrooted ics. But my company doesn't allow rooted phones so I have a nandroid backup I use when I need it for work. I thought it was just me going back and forth between unrooted and rooted jb rom. Sounds like an issue between android and exchange.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
There's no issue with android and exchange. The issue is that your exchange admins have enforced policies that android doesn't like and/or your exchange admins have no idea what they're doing.
I'm the administrator here and just set up a fresh MS Exchange 2010 server and my Nexus with 4.2 is working flawless.
I think it's more what we're doing. Admins don't exactly like us messing around like we are. But service providers aren't supporting us like developers are so what's a guy supposed to do

Which admins? The close-minded ones? If they set up their security correct they have no need to worry.

If you search the Themes and Apps section for this device you will have noticed that someone has a modified Exchange apk to remove the security check. Push this to your phone and you should be good to go.
Glad to see there are some good ones out there who are reasonable. Actually, I'm being a little hard because there are quite a few good ones out there. So how do I get around having to be unrooted with Mobil fusion. Would love to be able to run 4.1.2 on my skyrocket.

Exchange is working fine on 4.2.1 I agree that it has to be with policies setup by your it department have them check your settings to make sure they match what they require as an extra check

Not getting new email
I have an issue where my login appears ok (I set up accounts on my newly flashed 4.2.1 on GNex and Nexus 7, and on my Nexus 10, stock/rooted), but when I refresh, I can't get any new email beyond 2 days ago on any of them. I've tried a couple of different ROMS and the same thing has happened. Contacted tech team and they've had one other reported issue, but they aren't sure either.

Perhaps server issues since it's on all devices and on other rooms you have tried. Call your IT folks to investigate.

I have no issues with Exchange account and 4.2.1. Running stock 4.2.1 rooted. No issues of the like you have (I also have PIN enforced, and it works flowlessly).
If it's related to your company security policy FYI you can bypass them by sideloading a modded version of the Mail app. It's probably already available somewhere here on XDA.
Just check on which email the sync stops. Delete that email and give it another try...
I have had that as well. I deleted the complete profile on the server and rebuilt it.
I have use 4.1 and now I am on 4.2 (Rootbox 3.3.1/Dorimanx 1.34) without any issues....
Although I would like to see my subdirs on the main screen (what seems to be impossible with the current email.apk versions....).
Bye and enjoy your holidays,

Is there an apk like this available for the GS3? I just got mine yesterday and haven't been able to locate one yet.

Doubtful.. Besides, why would you want to bypass security on an exchange server? Your IT department needs to configure permissions for your login to have corporate email.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
If you're wanting to prevent having to enter a PIN on your lockscreen, touchdown localizes the enterprise security parameters to the app itself, and allows your exchange to, kind of, be partitioned from the rest of your phone - security wise. So, basically you enter the PIN when you enter the app.

I'm trying to set up my work email to my phone, it's a dot education, and no matter which way I try it comes up with an error.
If I try to set it up under exchange it tells me the protocols are wrong.
Of I try to set it up under normal email it tells me that the email address is wrong.
Is there something I'm missing because all of my coworkers have it set up (mostly iPhones) so I know it's possible.
Do I need a 3rd party app or some other method?

Grrrr I cant stand exchange. I work for sprint so alot of customers come in asking how to set it up. The thing is, in most cases, thats not something any carrier or manufacturer can answer; only your school and employer have the appropriate server setting at hand. If you have the proper information, and its still erroring, I would contact your schools tech department. Most teachers have access to someone who helps them set up their work email, so students shluld habe an equivalent.

Hi,
I'm trying to bypass the required pin/security code that my company's microsoft exchange email requires on a stock rom.
I installed the exchangen-no-pin hacked app that everyone uses on an AOSP rom, no problems.
But since I have decided that AOSP roms leave me with at least 1/3 less battery life than stock, I want to go back to stock. But I can't seem to get around the pin/security code policy b/c the hacked email apk doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

Bypassing corporate security policies sounds like a good idea.
Use an email client such as Nine. That will allow you to satisfy the exchange server with an email app pin lock and wipe, instead of a device level admin lock and wipe.
Sent from my SGP512 using Tapatalk
Mailwise is another (free) email client that allows bypass exchange security if you enter a code you have to fetch from their website one time.
Although Nine is probably a better alternative because it does have the app level pin & wipe function rather than completely bypassing exchange security.
I can recommend NINE, it works great and their support is also pretty good, I received a reply almost instantly when I reported a minor bug and it was fixed within a day.
on stock, i don't think so. it is governed by the administrators of your email account. is it an exchange account?
