Android Froyo Update – Screen Lock Issues

23 Sep

It appears with the latest update (Froyo 2.2) for the Android devices, your screen lock may appear to be mandatory. If you look in Settings > Locations & Security > Screen Lock the None and Pattern options could be disabled if you are using Corporate Sync. I’ll at least explain what happened to me and how I fixed it on my Droid X:

  1. Received the update overnight on 9/21
  2. It needed me to setup a screen lock
  3. I went into Settings > Locations & Security > Screen Lock
  4. I noticed I couldn’t select None or Pattern
  5. I went Settings > Accounts
  6. Removed my Corporate Sync account
  7. Back to Settings > Locations & Security > Screen Lock
  8. Select None or Pattern
  9. Back to Settings > Accounts
  10. Add your Corporate Sync account back
  11. Verify your screen lock didn’t reactivate

That’s it – hopefully it sticks!

MSBuild and Web.config Transforms

01 Sep

So here is the backstory: we have traditionally developed in Visual Studio 2008 using Visual SourceSafe 2005 (I know, right!) and Web Deployment Projects 2008. We always had configuration section replacements done on our web projects. So we upgraded to TFS 2010 and VS 2010. But after reading all about Web.config transformations here at MSDN, I could not get it to work on a team build. So after a lot of digging and experimentation, I discovered the following settings need added to your Team Build Definition and viola, it will build it as a deployment project with the web.config transformed!

So basically just add “/p:CreatePackageOnPublish=true /p:DeployOnBuild=true” and you’re set!
