"Update Security Settings to Use Email"

**mikereginatorn** · 02-14-2013, 01:18 PM

I found another software, recommended to me by a friend:

called 'touchdown' works perfectly.

HI

I had this problem to and it frustrated the life out me and I went searching for answers leading me to this site which was no help. I found the answer elsewhere. May I suggest you try looking in the top left corner for a small icon that looks like an envelope. If you find it touch and drag down diagonally on it and it should open up a window that shows the security updates and if click on the accept button I think from memory (or follow the prompts) your problem may be solved. At least mine was.

Hope I am not too late and this works

I have this problem with a Galaxy S2.
"Update Security Settings" notification always appear.
ICS on the device.

Also, last week we upgraded our Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010.

I tried everything mentioned in this thread.

UPDATE
There is another weird problem with this S2. The Wifi does not stay ON when bluetooth is activated. Anyone also experience this?

Hi,

This normal behaviour, depending on Security settings on Exchange Server.
When you create the account on your device, Exchange wants to enforce security on your device.
It's been a while, but you have to read and actions the prompts when it first tries to connect.

It will enforce the device security by asking you for a PIN/SWIPE/PASSWORD to be created.
From then on your device will activate Screen lock when you power off or switch on, maybe a pain but it's secure.

Ther are some tweaked mail packages out there that bypass this, if you don't want security.

This is referring to the settings of the email account. When I set up an Exchange account on my Optimus V it went smoothly and I never had to do any updating. Now on ICS, when I go to setup the same Exchange account, I have to let the account share all my phone's permissions and I have to put a pin code on the lock screen. This must be due to the update on ICS, and I hate it immensely, so much that I deleted the account and now have the email forwarded through another work account. I feel like I am on an Apple device when this happens, woe is me..

This may have to do with ICS in the sense that older versions of Android didn't support the feature, but it's a policy that's being enforced by your company, not Android or Samsung. My company enforces this, and no longer allows phones that don't support these policies to log into corporate email. You can't really blame a company for wanting to protect it's intellectual property (and yes, your company email is their property), not yours. I'm surprised they haven't closed off the forwarding loophole.

Nnja, the issue people are reporting isn't that they have to set up the security settings once, it's that they're getting prompted to do it repeatedly, over and over and over. That's not normal.

I get this notice once in a while, and sometimes I'll get it a couple of times in the same day, but that's rare. I don't know what the solution is. I'd reach out to the company email team and see if there's anything in the Exchange server settings that might be causing this. If there's nothing there, look into the Touchdown app.

I have a new phone and needed to connect MS Exchange server for my email. I found a microsoft help page that said if my server name was podxxxxx.outlook.com I should use ms.outlook.com I did that and it works. So far!!

MIcrosoft doesn't allow your TASKS to Sync. Uncheck Sync task in settings and its fixed. I had the same issue over and over.

Who Knew? They really ought to let those programmers out in the real world from time to time.

That's not true. I can sync tasks on my Sprint S3, and view / update the tasks in the Samsung calendar program. It may well be task synching that's causing the error message, but you can sync tasks with EAS.
