I suppose it is a good policy...from the companies side of view. You could get some good insider information reading through emails and saved docs. I myself couldn't stand the forced 20 minute lock rule. But..I'll in a red hot second call the IT security guys and get a forced wipe sent though if I know it got stolen! (If they can do that!)

Aw well...bottom line is there's a hack for everyone. Line 'em up!!

I understand why they do it (to cover their butt). I also won't hesitate to all in and have them remote wipe my phone if it should get lost or stolen. Hopefully they've implemented this lol.

I guess I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if they were as strict with other devices (desktop pc's and laptops in particular).

Now those 2 things I wouldn't try to hack!!

Mine are forced password locked after 20 minutes....

Interesting... my sync isn't as fast as it was yesterday, in fact it's almost manual right now.

TreeFrog · 01-24-2008, 11:39 AM

Hmmm..this hack shouldn't cause that. Never has for me.....

Lucky13MN · 01-24-2008, 11:45 AM

Might just be a coincidence or me just being new to the direct Exchange sync but it did seem more instant yesterday.

That said, even after redoing the Server (deleted and re-added) it's still slower.

I guess I'll leave the hack implemented

UPDATE:
I was getting spoiled... turns out it was only when the status of a message changed from one or the other. New items and outgoing emails update almost instantly. But the status of read or deleted doesn't change until the next sync.

I have created a software before to stay unlock even with the regular (defualt is usually 24 hrs) policy enforcement. But it only works on WM5, and I have yet to port it to WM6. IF there's any interest, I can consider porting over.

The phone I have is WM5, care to post it? The reg hack is working great but just in case work does something again I want every option possible.

it makes use of the same reg hack you use, in fact, I was probably the first one who discover this reg hack, way back in 2006.

edit: I realised Q is still a smartphone, I must say it has been tested on a WM5 pocketpc phone, and it should work on WM6 professional, but I have not tested it on a WM5 smartphone, and likely it will not work (as I found out it won't work on WM6 smartphone)

Thank you.

So does this function automatically or is it something you run whenever you notice the policy is in effect again?
