That email popup:

That message is to allow additional permissions to enable remote wipe and password enforcement by Exchange.  I can definitely say that if you are getting that message, you DO have some sort of password policies in place - check again.  I have been messing with the email app for a few weeks, and am the admin of an exchange server at my job - I initially had no security policies whatsoever on the server.  This condition will only allow an admin to "block" syncing of a particular phone.  Once you enable some policies, this additional service has to kick in on your phone, to allow remote wipe, lockscreen pw enforcement, etc..  This is all working perfectly for syncing between my droid and my server.

I would not expect this function to be change in CM - this is working as intended as far as I know, and should be a boon for people wanting to use their Android in place of the customary boring winmo and blackberry phones.  This was added I believe about a week ago - see this: github commit

I am willing to look into actual issues with this, though at this time we run Exchange 2003sp2, so any problems specific to  2007 or 2010 I may not be able to assist with.

Well I don't know what the issue is, but just yesterday had our admin look at our Exchange 2010 server and we definitelt have no policies enforced.  To verify I asked around because everyone else at work has WinMo phones.  The consensus was that they have no policies being enforced...

If this is 2.2 how come we  dont have tethering over wifi ?  i know that there is an app for that but its not the same.  the app appears as adhoc, but the built in is more like a router. my xbox cant  use adhoc,  neither can other dumb devices.

Is this planned for later on ?   i keep getting nightlies hoping it will just appear.

Just flashed the latest nightly, 8/8.  The new boot animation is sweet!  Trying to find the changes is proving to be quite difficult...does anyone know where I can find an updated change log?

Hey...I absolutely love the newest CM nightly!  I think two days ago (the 6th or something) he added to ability to not have to "unlock" your screen again when the screen goes dark for a certain amount of time...I LOVE IT!!!   I have a suggestion though...the power button is the only button that is not easily pressed by sitting in my pocket...and the volume/camera button will also turn back on the phone unlocked so I could accidently make a phone call etc...

Cyanogen...please make this only turn back on my the power button and not the volume/camera...Will donating help my cause?

Donation is usually motivational, but not guaranteed to get you anything but a thank you.

Can't answer to if they are going to include this or not in newer builds, but until then you can download a (free) app on the market that will do this for you. Ironicly it's just called "Wireless Tether".

As you see in his post, he's aware of the app. He just wants support for infrastructure tethering as opposed to adhoc so that devices that don't connect to adhoc will work (like psp, nintendo ds, nook, etc). There are many things that determine whether a device can do it such as whether the chipset supports it and if the kernel has it activated. As to why it was removed, VZW claims the HW doesn't support it so it was removed from the build. Regardless, the dev of the android tethering app "Wireless Tether" has been able to get newer version of the app with infrastructure mode working with some phones but he says it only works on certain broadcom chipsets.

So I've been using the nightlies for a few weeks now, and there's a problem that I've encountered that comes and goes.  After flashing the latest nightly, sometimes I'm no longer able to send MMS's.  The message will just sit there and say "Sending..." but never actually send.  In the past a wipe and restore with the same nightly has fixed this, sometimes I've had to go back to a previous version, and yet, other times all that was necessary was a reboot.  Anyone else experiencing this issue?  I've tried it with the stock messaging app and Handcent with the same result. I've fixed permissions and done clean installs. I've tried attaching from the messaging app and sharing from the gallery.  E-mailing pictures works fine, as does anything else that uses mobile data, just not MMS.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note, I love the new customizable Power Widget.

How about an option to hide the status bar on google maps? I enjoy full-screen browsing with cyanogen. Having full-screen maps would be awesome, too.

I am using Nightly build from 08/10/2010 and I am having a problem sending texts. While I am typing my text the screen will just freeze.

[djdmbrwsk]

Haven't been having any issues with SMS myself.

The latest nightly (8-11) is sweet...can't wait for a full release!  The new options on the power widget are awesome!  Love the idea of the flashlight toggle!  Only issue is it currently causes a force close on my droid.  Progressing nicely and lookin good!

[Redneck Trash]

Went with the latest nightly (08122010) and I have that Market issue again. Tried going back to the previous nightly and still had the problem even though that nightly originally fixed the issue. Anyone else have this problem pop back up?

Found a fix.

Go to Market in Settings->Applications- >Manage Applications->AH, and click clear cache, and clear data. Reboot the phone.

I didn't reboot but it worked.

I used to run AutoLock but it stopped working in 2.2.  When my screen shut off I would have to use the normal swipe to unlock it, but if it was off for x minutes it would switch to where I needed to use my passcode to get in. This way if I was texting every 30 seconds I wouldn't have to keep swiping the phone.

Cyanogen now has something like this built in where you can set how long it takes before you need to use your unlock code. The problem with this is if you hit the button while its in your pocket, the phone is totally unlocked.  It would be better if at this point the phone would require a simple swipe.

Other than that I am getting almost 2 days of battery life with Froyo running at 125/1200 with no battery saving applications.  No real problems so far.  Good work guys.

Ugraded from RC2 to the 8/11 nightly, fixed my memory problem.  Noticing that the home screen doesn't have to reload every time I go home and that apps are actually staying in memory.  

One problem I am noticing is that LED notifications are behaving funny.  Example GVoice and Handcent, LED will light up after the screen goes dim and stay solid.  Also, LED blink rate options dont seem to do anything.

[ralyon]

I got yesterday mornings nightly and did a wipe from RC2 and I love the new power widget. I wanted to confirm that I get the home screen force close when toggling the flashlight as well as mentioned previously.

The other issue I've noticed is that when I added my exchange account, it automatically synced ALL of my subfolders including Junk and notifies me of every new message coming in every folder. The problem with that is I get more than 30 emails a night from different servers status updates and such not to mention the spam which had my notification going off about every 10 minutes all night long. I finally had to turn off notifications for my exchange account so I could sleep.

Anyway, I didn't see an option to turn off syncing for a particular folder, only on an account level. Am I missing something or is this just a new feature that maybe hasn't been completely finished yet? Overall very happy though with this nightly's performance though.
