This is what i need and this is not supported by vanilla Android ROM.
Only touchdown and HTC sense support this.
So this work for you but only for basic security, not like 95 % of enterprise companies out there...

Maybe only 5% of the companies have that restriction??
I have used my phone with two different "enterprise" companies and have not had an issue.
No issues here either. Using a major law firms exchange.
Liking the update to include signatures on replies now. That's the way it should be.
Exchange Sync Issues
I also had (have?) issues and I mentioned them as part of another note on my overall response to 2.3.3. (in a phrase, not worth it) but nobody else seemed to be interested in that thread. So, welcome.
2.3.3. on my stock N1 has suffered the following problems:
1. Would not connect to Exchange server after I updated to 2.3.3
2. So I cleared data in "email" app, forced close, and tried to reinstall from
Home>Menu>Accounts. Also rebooted.
3. When trying to install from Home>Menu>Accounts I found NO PROVISION FOR MANUAL SETUP, i.e., manually entering domain name and exchange server ID; you can only enter your email address and password. The Gingerbread Manual mentions there is provision for manual setup in case of problems, but they don't tell you that you have to. . .
4. Set up from eMail App in the App drawer. When I set up that way there is a button for Manual Install.
5. Without Manual Install it is probable that your phone is assuming a domain name or ID that is wrong, and it will never connect.
6. After the successful re-install and use for about a day, 2.3.3. wiped out my server connection again arbitrarily (I never turn the phone off/on, etc.; it just did it) and I had to set up again.
This is definitely a BUG in 2.3.3--very definitely the inability to manually set up from any screen on which you can set up an account.
Same problem here, although it looks that Exchange is setup correctly -following instructions of ecdy, there is NO data synchronization at all with my exchange account! As under Froyo there were no problems at all, this MUST be a Gingerbread bug. Anybody any solution, workaround, please?
N1, unrooted stock, 2.3.3. OTA.

I do believe there is an issue with not having the manual setup option. I read somewhere on here that someone got the manual option after the automatic setup failed 10 times. A bug yes, but once account is set up, everything works as it should.

No, pity, NOTHING works as it should - read my post above, please. Since Gingerbread (N1, stock, unrooted, 2.3.3. OTA) exchange sync lost, although it LOOKS set up correctly (accepts all, password, username) does NOT sync mail, calendar!
Anybody any solution please?
Strange thing noticed: after OTA Gingerbread Hotmail account in mail survived, exchange account (company) went lost.. Anything to do with problem?

I did a manual upgrade to GB (clean upgrade). Maybe the OTA has broken something.
Exchange Sync problems
As far as other email accounts are concerned: GMail worked fine; Yahoo! Mail, which was originally set up in the OS's "Accounts" mode, didn't work. Downloading the Yahoo! Mail App fixed that.
Maybe there's a Hotmail app too.
It sounds like bmszabo isn't getting refreshed (synced); check all accounts settings that adjust sync frequency and do a "sync now" to see if it works.
Before I erased all the data in my Exchange a/c on the phone I would get a screen with all my emails and contacts up to the point where I had installed 2.3.3, but nothing thereafter. The phone will store old data but if it can't connect to the server it won't add anything new. Why does bmszabo say "it LOOKS set up correctly (accepts all, password, username)"? It will remember the correct pwd and username as you put them in, along with an incorrect domain name and server, and never be able to connect.

Sorry, trying to explain things happened since GB OTA upgrade: after setting up exchange account, Exchange sync setup looks allrite, after asking about administrator priorities (and accepting them) sync sign turns green, looks like account setup correct, shows empty mailbox, but it DOES NOT sync with my mail, neither with calendar; as a matter of fact, my exchange calendar does not even show up on the list of calendars in Agenda...
O yes, forgotten: manual sync, although green wheel spins shortly, does not change a thing, neither..
Another similar issue with Exchange not syncing came up with CM 6.1.1. The fix was to reinstall the Email.apk.

Firstly, you enter email and password. If you want to include domain name - you write your email like this: domain\[email protected]
After you enter it, whether it fails or succeeds - it presents you with manual setup screen.

5 % pf the companies uses Exchange security? you must be kidding right? what my company is asking for in term of security is just basic. So i cannot believe that sorry.
This is really basic functionalities for security. It works on iphone, on Sense, on Symbian, but not on Android. So i am not getting it. If it works everywhere else than Android, it means that definitively more than 5 % of companies are requiring these basic security features.
My 2 cents of course and nothing personal!

What I am saying is that there are plenty of people who are able to connect to their Exchange servers just fine which do HAVE exchange security enabled. Maybe your company has additional security restrictions enabled. If so, then your company will fall in the 5% subset.

I am using cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (gingerbread) and have tried multiple roms including googles vanilla and NONE of them have supported my company's exchange setup. This was supposed to be fixed in froyo and for people using sense it is fixed.
Basically when i manually setup activesync it says the phone doesn't support the security features.
Who cares if my company uses extra security or not. It works on HTC and iphone/ipad.
Google is basically doing half assed exchange support and I will keep telling people they will probably need to shell out for touchdown if they move to android until they fix it.
Google needs to support ALL ACTIVESYNC SECURITY settings, anything less isn't good enough.
I think You are right; Exchange sync (cal, mail) worked PERFECT with Froyo, and with Gingerbread it is completely lost.. I don't think any firm can do this to customers using their OS, and I do hope somebody gots a solution soon (or: Google fixes the issue?).
In the meanwhile: as I cannot use my company mail/ calendar: I wish I stayed with Froyo!!

Agree with you...
thank you for your support. Started to feel alone here!
I have seen on the CM9 thread that there are a few users who are having trouble with the stock apps syncing with Exchange.
I had the same issue after installing alpha 2 a few days ago. A little research let me to this article: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22975
Basically, there are a number of Exchange configurations that the stock ICS clients simply are not compatible with right now. It may be as simple as the security requirements that your employer is trying to enforce, or in my case, the fact that my employer is running Exchange 2010sp1. Apparently sp2 is compatible.
In any case, this is an upstream Google issue, and is not specific to CM9. They are working on it.
I am using Moxier Mail in the interim.
And, yeah, I know I should have posted this in the thread, but I don't have enough posts yet.

Glad to hear. Hope it gets fixed soon. My college's notification website pushes all notifications to our school email which uses exchange. Sadly I have to log in to my email to check for these rather then get them automatically on my phone.

Can't you use POP or IMAP, so you don't have to log into the website?
No. MS Exchange Server is a completely different and much more secure protocol than POP or IMAP, and entities that use it do so precisely because they do not want their sensitive info going out on POP or IMAP. And, as Exchange offers true push, and several other features that go beyond the scope of just email, it has other advantages too.
And, while there usually is a website component available (Outlook Web Access) that's not what we are talking about here.

what issues specifically are you having trouble syncing.
All. None of mystock android apps work with exchange.
My work uses Exhange 2010sp1 and there is a security requirement that android 4.0.x exchange services do not support. The issue is not present in sp2. I'm not an expert. This is what I have found out through my research, and have been told. My employer has no plans to implement sp2. Now why android 2.3 would work, and then they would leave out that compatibility in 4.0 is beyond me. And why the android team would still be working on it 4 months later without resolution is also beyond me.

well, I wouldn't say exchange is any more or less secure (probably less) than IMAP (POP is dead) over SSL/TLS. Companies do it so that they can enable group policy on the data, you know, like being able to REMOTELY WIPE YOUR PHONE (without your appoval). really depends on the company. I work on the systems team for the production servers at our company, but I'm not part of the IT group facing our employees. We use Exchange. They know the guys in my group are not idiots, so they enable IMAP for our accounts at a special requrest from us. IMO, IMAP is far better than trying to screw around with Exchange/Outlook.
Though I do have a Windows VM that I use to accept meeting invites. *shakes fist*
I just gave up on exchange for now. It was eating through my battery and it would forget my credentials.
I am just having all of my exchange emails forward to my gmail for now.
Yes, in terms of the tranfer of data over ssl, there is little or no difference between exchange and imap, though I would bet that a lot of users don't have their imap account set up with ssl. For a lot of exchange users, ssl is required.
And yes, my employer wants to be able to remotely wipe my phone. I want them to be able to as well. They know, as do I, that some of the information on my phone is personal/private/confidential/sensitive/secure, so to them, and to me, the advantage of being able to remotely wipe my phone makes Exchange MUCH more secure than IMAP.
I guess it's all a matter of needs and perspective.

I just realized I linked the wrong thread in hte OP. Here is the correct one:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22975
I'll update the OP.
The email.apk and exchange.apk included with epiccm9's test build of android 4.0.4 have fixed my exchange sync issues.
Big props to whoever fixed this!

hi guys
anyone know how I use the fingerprint reader with exchange policy (enforce password on device)?
with the iphone 5s it works, but with the samsung s5 the fingerprint reader is disabled (Pincode enforced)..
Thank you to all
I dont think they have an option for exchange policy which is kind of stupid. I hope they come out with a fix for this.

You'll need to download a different app to use for your exchange account. I just downloaded "Nine" and it gives you the option to set the exchange security on the app level instead of the phone level. Two week trial then it's $10.

Thanks, nine is cool but it dosnt support s/mime (for sign an encypt) and imap4 for private use.
I use "smail". it support s/mime and imap4 but not the exchange policy avoiding.
maybe smail will implement this feature in future. smail developer quote: "I will check the nine. But I don't know when I will implement it currently. I am busy with something. I will try to do it. Thank you!"

Good deal. I not super familiar with s/mime, but apparently my company does not require that level of security.
Do a Google Play search for Touchdown. Another email client (not as polished looking as Nine) that says it supports s/mime. It's a bit pricier, $20 I believe, after the free trial. If I remember correctly you can set the security at the app level as well. Worth a shot. Hope that helps.
Disabled with my company's policy as well. Was hoping it would work like the iPhone. I can use touchdown or cloudmagic but I prefer the stock email/calendar.

If u r using this with work email... is it safe (legal) to use other apps?
All,
The "Nine" exchange email app available on the play store gives you the option of Device Exchange Security protocol via device administrator OR Software level Exchange Security protocol. In other words, to receive exchange email you can either be forced to screen lock your phone or password protect the nine app to receive your exchange mail.
I have figured out how to remove the software level exchange security protocol if anyone is interested.
Here is the very quick how to.
**Prerequisite**
You must be rooted.
1. Download app
2. Install app and setup your exchange email. Use app level exchange security NOT device level.
3. Set your password. We will remove this policy later
4. Make sure your email starts to flow in
5. Download your favorite SQL database editor. I use SQLlite
6. Open database editor and go to the nine app
7. Open email provider db then account.... change policy key from 2 to 0 then save.
8. Leave account then go to policy. You are still inside email provider db.
9. Change the password mode from 2 to 0. This is the first setting at the top of the list. Scroll down to protocol policy required... Set this to 0. Then scroll all the way down to the bottom to the last policy item called alphanumeric password required... Change this from 2 to 0. Then hit save.
10. Now, back out of the SQL editor... Don't open nine email yet.
11. Force close nine email. You must force close instead of removing from recent
12. Start nine email. Go to security and enter your password once if it asks. May not even ask. Then Uncheck "password".
13. Reboot, profit. At this point the exchange policy should now be bypassed.

Hi, tried this but I can't locate that database. I must be doing some thing wrong. I'm using a Oneplus One but I don't see the email provider db.

Here is the app I use....

Yes I am. It asked and was granted permissions. You can see the # symbol in the status bar while SQLite is running. I will check again.

You want to set everything up including allowing the app to force you to create a password. Don't use device level security. Use app level security within nine. Once your password is set and you have begun receiving emails then the email provider db will be created. After you have set a password and get your emails up and running then go into sqlite and follow the edit instructions

I tried everything you said. I am convinced that the DB is being hidden somehow (encrypted maybe). I tried another app, aSQLiteManager. Navigated to the Nine app folder in data/data. Then went into the databases folder. Here I see the following databases:
LogReporter.db
SecureEMailProvider.db
SecureEmailProviderBackuip.db
SecureEmailProviderBody.db
I noticed all have the work "secure" before it except LogReporter. For some reason SQLite app can only see the ones not listed as secure. So I thought I was good to go but when I click on SecureEmailProvider.db I get the message "/storage/emulated/0/aSQLiteManager/SecureEmailProvider.db is not a database"
No idea where to go from here. Appreciate your help but I guess it just won't work for me. It would be nice if someone else was also trying. I should note again that I can see and open databases for other apps just fine.

Please excuse this shameless hijack but it is somewhat on topic.
My company uses Outlook Web Access through Office 365 and previously I was able to use NINE to access my email. I was even able to execute this bypass hack. Recently however my company's server stopped allowing access to NINE. I thought it might be because of the bypass hack so I factory reset the phone and tried to do a fresh install and setup and it doesn't work. I tried several OWA apps and the only that works is MobiMail.
Any idea why NINE doesn't work anymore?

I thought it might be because of the bypass hack so I factory reset the phone and tried to do a fresh install and setup and it doesn't work. I tried several OWA apps and the only that works is MobiMail.
Any idea why NINE doesn't work anymore?

NINE does not use OWA, it uses active sync. MobiMail connects via OWA, so very much like a web browser. I would first ask a few co workers if their active sync app still works. If theirs does not work your IT Department broke activesync or turned it off on everyone.
If theirs works the IT Department turned it off on just your mailbox.
If anyone is interested, the Exchange service on the G4 (at least the T-Mobile version) can be disabled via the apps menu and Google Exchange services can be installed.
This will allow you to use the GMail app with Exchange enabled hosts, like Hotmail/Outlook.com and retain push mail, contact and calendar sync.
Recommended steps:
If you have any accounts using email and exchange, remove them first.
Open Settings/General/Apps/All
Tap on Exchange (The LG one with the blue icon)
Force stop
Disable the Exchange Service
(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point)
Install Google Exchange Services
(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point as well)
Open GMail and you will have Exchange as an option when you add an account.
This is gold to me.
Thanks.
sweet thx!
edit: oops that didn't work for me it gets stuck constantly sync'ing and has some exchange service crashes hmm...
Works fine here so far. I just wish you could disable the remote administration requiring your device to use a PIN. I'd love to use Smart Lock.

It's important that you remove any old exchange accounts in email first, then force close the LG exchange service and disable it. If you don't disable it, then GMail will get stuck syncing.

Did you ever get it to work? If not, which model of the phone do you have?
Directions worked perfectly. Thank you.

Just waiting on root so I can keep my damn unlock screen without having to put in an 8 character password with numbers and special characters every time I want to unlock my phone.
I might just bite the bullet and buy touchdown for $20 because I heard it doesn't need to apply the permissions to your whole phone but just the app.

This. I have used Smart Lock on my N5 with no problems even though we are required to have a PIN. Fired up the G4 and immediately noticed once I setup email Smart Lock was grey and can't be used. I thought that by switching to Gmail for my Exchange email I could get around that only to find Gmail doesn't have Exchange support on this phone (until I found this thread).
Has anyone that has followed the instructions at the top been able to get Smart Lock working when Gmail is used for Exchange email? Or does Touchdown get around this?
I am going to test this out tonight - can't goof around too much while on the job!!

Does that also sync your calendar and contacts?

Outlook bypasses the security requirement, but it appears to only sync email, not calendars or contacts. You get prompted that Exchange wants you to accept these changes, but you have an option to deny them.

I'll have to look at that new outlook app closer then. It prompted me for the security permissions to wipe phone, pin, and all that crap so I exited out.
Touchdown is supposed to be all one contained environment so I don't think it syncs with the default apps. I could be wrong as I have never tried it since I always got a PIN bypasser working on my old phones. It is free for a month so try it out! I don't care about contacts and it would be nice to have calendar but I'm not heartbroken over it. What I would like to know is if you still get a notification of new mail. I would assume so but aren't allowed to preview it which is fine but I at least need to know I have mail.

Yeah that request seems to be standard whenever you setup Outlook, regardless of app. It was when it came to the lock screen settings, it allowed me to dismiss it.
I just tried the Outlook app and it required far less permissions then adding an exchange email through the android/lg settings. The regular settings wanted pretty much everything. Wipe, disable camera, password type, password length, password expiration, encrypt phone, disable sd card, etc etc. It had everything and probably because my company just checked everything. Now the question is if it would really do any of those things probably not because that it a further settings in Exchange but it just wants to be able to do all that.
The Outlook just wanted password rules, unlock attempts, lock screen, and encrypt phone. It asked to encrypt and I said no and phone still works. I was able to keep pattern lock screen but it disabled everything else besides pin and password. The Outlook app does not integrate well with Android so everything is contained in it's own app. I don't think it does notifications either since I sent an email and waited a good 10 minutes. My phone never went off but I open the app the email shows up but never as a notification.
So maybe the Outlook app will get you by for the time being.
Hrm - I'm on an LG G4 (EU H815 model, unlocked). No Google Exchange Services visible or available in the Play Store ...
I also have an old Galaxy S3 running 5.1.1 (PacMan rom) - that has Gmail with Exchange working just fine. It has the same version of Gmail as on the G4, but also has "Exchange Services" running. I can't find any other information on that though.
[EDIT] I just checked the link in the OP which looks like the latest apk, but the button for Play Store doesn't work - URL doesn't exist.
Quick question - I haven't disabled LG Exchange on the G4 yet - when I do it says that the app will be hidden from then on. What if one wants to re-enable it - will it still be visible on the Apps menu ?
TIA

Yes, just go to your apps in settings and it will be under 'disabled'.
Just switched things over, and Gmail Exchange is working nicely now

Have you been able to figure this out? I have coworkers on a N6, N5, and a HTC One (M7), who all have our Corporate E-mail linked to their phone via either gmail or the htc e-mail app. They can all access their respective Smart Lock settings. On my phone, its grayed out.
Confused on what this does? Just lets you add a second exchange account to gmail? Are emails mixed together or do they remain separated? I like having my Email and Gmail in 2 different apps. I also like the LG email app.
