Office 365 Exchange ActiveSync settings for the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100

I’ve recently signed up for Office 365, and I quickly found out that it’s not that easy to get the Galaxy S2 working with it.

Hi,
MS changes hostserver for your account randomly.
The problem is on Samsungs side, they have not implemented the MS Exchange standard as Microsoft policy says. That’s why all Samsungs androids have problem with Office 365:s m.outlook.com and can not redirect your account to right server.

MS are working around this problem to help us and Samsung, se more info here:

Hi rudi, I agree works really well until…
the password policy of your owa forces you to change password? How do you change this in the connection? Is there any way to change without removing and recreating?

thanks

  Hi Grant. You should be able to edit the password in just your incoming settings of the account, but then again this is uncharted territory. I basically just edited the activesync policy and made it as simple as possible (No forced pins needed and unsupported devices allowed) and so far so good.
