Is there an alternative camera app that uses your phone's gyros to stabilize it? I like taking pictures of bugs and it's kind of difficult when the phone is shaking around.

Can anyone recommend an app (preferably with widgets) that can tell me my voice and data signal levels? I need it to be able to tell the difference between LTE, 3/4g, and Edge. I also need some way to disable LTE entirely, hopefully again with a widget or toggle button.

Work uses Exchange for an email service, and while I use the various specific apps for my various web email (yahoo, hotmail, gmail) I've been using Google's "Email" that comes with the phone for my work email. It's... okay. But it only pushes emails that go directly to my Inbox, so none of the mails that get moved to sub-folders due to Rules let me know on my phone without explicitly going into that folder and refreshing. I'm looking for the best email app for Android that acts the most like Outlook, and initial searches turn up a large number of them for $5 a pop. Rather than purchasing them and spending the 15 minutes trying to get my work email up and running on them only to find out the app is poo poo, I thought I'd ask here: What is the best Android app for getting MS Exchange email on my phone?

Cool... it was easy to setup, and a free 30 day trial is exactly what I needed. It appears to do everything I need it to. I'm home sick from work and answering emails on my phone was a giant pain. Now I just need a bunch of emails to come through today to know if I have any issues with it. Thanks for the fast responses!

So here's a weird thing I'd like to be able to do. I guess it's not Android app specific but this is as good a place as any to ask. Is it possible to get IMs, say from AIM or Gtalk, forwarded to me as SMS? And then some way to reply by SMS and have the recipient get the messages on their IM client? This is pretty niche but I have reasons why this would be useful to me.

Except that it is pretty ugly and expensive. Other than that, its awesome. My work setup is a little wonky and takes some fiddling with whenever I do a wipe. Also the backup/restore sucks and never seems to work for me. I was lucky enough to get it on an amazon sale, so I have to load the amazon store to use the unlock key. With my complains though, its still worth it to re-install every time.

I haven't even checked to see how much it costs. If it's more than 5 bucks, I'll probably go back to Google's Email at the end of the 30 days.

Is there any messaging app that can handle MMS group messaging even somewhat competently? Facebook messenger doesn't even try, I tried using Sliding Messenger and it didn't work. There was one I used before, I think it was chomp SMS? Currently I use the default app for group messages. They all seem to not be able to either send or receive properly. Sometimes a message will send multiple times, sometimes not at all. Sometimes the messages don't show up in the "group message" list but they show up as coming from me directly (and when I get messages from people in the group, one guy is also split out into his own message. I think he has an S3, probably using whatever default comes with it). I'm not on WiFi right now so whatever that dumb MMS bug that happens there isn't the problem. I'm on a Nexus 4. Do I have something in my settings wrong? Is there a better solution out there? I think I've complained/asked about MMS here before... iMessage was so great. It's really one of the defining features of an iPhone. I wish it was open.

If you're using the stock email app and they initiate a remote wipe (say, when you leave the company), it basically does a factory reset on your phone, as well as nuking your SD card.

Essobie posted:1) I feel sorry for anyone who works for somewhere that has an IT department that would do such a thing. In addition to what dik-dik said, to repsond to your points: 1) In which case you feel sorry for the vast majority of people who use their own devices to connect to company Exchange servers. It is standard security practice to initiate a remote wipe on lost devices. In some circumstances failure to do so would open the company up to civil or even criminal charges if it resulted in a data breach. This is not about being 'mean', this is about protecting information which is confidential to the company, private to the company's customers, or both - and ultimately about protecting the company (from aforementioned charges), as well as acting responsibly with sensitive data. Exchange administrators can also mandate device encryption and device lock password strength requirements, as well as automatic wipe if the password is entered incorrectly a certain number of times. 2) Just to re-emphasise, if you use the stock email app you will lose absolutely everything on your device when a wipe is initiated. You really need to wise up to how BYOD works before you go for it, and I would suggest talking to someone appropriate at your company to find out what their policies are for wipes and encryption. If you still decided to proceed, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't use Touchdown to isolate your company's control away from the rest of your device. rolleyes fucked around with this message at 15:02 on May 11, 2013 |

I guess that's why I'm confused. My company allows the use of personal devices for retrieving email remotely, but me using the Google Email doesn't in any way give someone the capability to remotely wipe everything on my phone. Or even just the contacts, much less anything on my SD card. Now, I'm not saying that it can't happen... but I just don't see their way in. No one took my phone and installed anything on it or anything. I merely typed in my login and password into the email application (both Google Email and now Touchdown) and I'm able to send and receive work email on my phone. If I were to leave the company, they'd certainly require me to delete any confidential emails or photos stored on my personal device, but I don't believe they have the capability to push a button somewhere and have my phone return to factory settings with a blank SD card. Or anything even close. So how would they do this outside of making me hand over my phone?

So the difference is that using Touchdown, only Exchange data will be wiped from an ActiveSync remote wipe, while other email apps just nuke the whole phone? Good to know. I'm surprised this isn't the #1 selling point of Touchdown. Edit: I'm still not 100% on this. What is to stop me from simply removing my credentials from any Exchange email application on my phone before a remote wipe is sent? Won't that just prevent the wipe from occurring? Sure, it won't stop some mistaken remote wipe, but if (for some reason) I know I'm leaving my company (which I'm probably not ever) there's no risk to my entire phone so long as I remember to remove the syncing to their server before they fire the wipe.

Google Apps for Enterprise also supports remote wipe and device policy, by the way. If your employer is a GApps customer and you add your work Google account to the phone, caveat emptor.Essobie posted:So the difference is that using Touchdown, only Exchange data will be wiped from an ActiveSync remote wipe, while other email apps just nuke the whole phone? Good to know. I'm surprised this isn't the #1 selling point of Touchdown. Yes. Touchdown partitions all the Exchange data off, so the device policy only applies to Touchdown. I am actually surprised they haven't started seeding social media with "they fired Jane Doe but wiped John Doe's phone and all his pictures of his kids" stories to sell their app. Essobie posted:Edit: I'm still not 100% on this.

If you remove the account, then it won't connect to Exchange and won't see the wipe request come from Exchange. The device on the Exchange server still gets flagged for wipe, though, so if you ever use those credentials to sign in again on that device, your phone will wipe immediately. IIRC, or at least how my old company configured it, if a device were flagged for wipe it would be permanently flagged unless you went in and de-flagged it. So every time you signed in with that device, bam, wipe. kitten smoothie fucked around with this message at 16:26 on May 11, 2013 |

Or even just the contacts, much less anything on my SD card. You have access to OWA? Log in, go to options and the Phones. You should see your phone listed there. Right there, there's a little button that says "Wipe Device." This can also be initiated from the exchange server side by an administrator. It's a built in part of the EAS protocol. When a device fully supports EAS, there's a hook in the OS that allows you to initiate a factory reset of the device remotely. What touchdown (and a few other apps do) is not pass that reset to the device and instead just wipes the application clear. Touchdown has additional protections of being able to lock it down so you can't save attachments outside the application and encrypts it's own information store which makes it secure for it not to wipe the whole phone. It's a regulatory compliance thing. We are required, by law, to have the ability to do this. It's not a company being overly paranoid thing. It's a "if a phone is stolen and it can't be remote wiped, it could have serious legal and financial repercussions to the company" thing. Not all companies have to do it. However, if you deal with healthcare, ecommerce, or financials, it's pretty much a given that you'll be up poo poo creek if someone loses a device and you weren't able to wipe the email info on it remotely. Essobie posted:So the difference is that using Touchdown, only Exchange data will be wiped from an ActiveSync remote wipe, while other email apps just nuke the whole phone? Good to know. I'm surprised this isn't the #1 selling point of Touchdown. The idea isn't that they are going to be remote wiping the device if you leave the company (though, it's a possibility I suppose, especially if you left under bad circumstances). You are still in possession of the device, they can verify with you that all email data is deleted. If any confidential information gets out that you have access to, they have legal means to pursue you for those damages. Remote wipe is mainly for a lost or stolen situation. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:30 on May 11, 2013 |

Make sure you read that fine text when you connect to an Exchange account w/ the email app. You most certainly can initiate a remote wipe from the Exchange admin console.

A lot of companies will let you expense Touchdown, especially if they already have a BYOD policy. I know my work *prefers* it over native clients. In other news, Samsung Push Service just updated. I think it's just some system app for Samsung devices that few people probably actually use, but it consistently has the best comments of any app I've seen.

Nitrodesk also allows you to purchases full licenses directly from them. So, that's also an option for BYOD. The company can purchase a bunch of licenses and you just enter the key.

One of our admins actually wiped his own SGS3 because he didn't believe the wipe option would actually work - quite amusing really. The remote wipe option has never worried me, but then I work in a fairly small organisation and I highly doubt it would ever happen. Even if it does it'd be an annoyance at most - everything on the phone is backed up anyway. That said we don't have the PIN or password requirement turned on - that would be really aggravating.
