Inactivity lock and MS Exchange- grrrr!

It appears that the inactivity lock can be triggered by installing Activesync Exchange and that you can never turn the bloody thing off! There are two ways around this problem-

The first way comes from the AllAboutSymbian forums- “Anyway, I did manage to disable it on the P990i, not sure if it will work on the M600i, but worth a try I guess.

kill exchange activesync and syncscheduler with SwissManager or SwissManagerPro
disable the lock
fire up exchange activesync

I found that by doing that, exchange activesync would not try to enable it again, maybe because that it remembers setting it to enabled, and leaves it at that only stopping you from disabling it whilst it is running. stays unlocked even after rebooting phone, or should it decide to reboot itself at sit at the pin prompt without warning.”

The second came from Sony Ericsson- “If you have had to manually install it then this can cause problems to the handset and they recommend obtaining the version from this link.”
