ANDROID PHONES AND EXCHANGE 2010 SERVICE PACK 1
There is a bug in the way the Android operating system handles ActiveSync connections with Exchange. It has been an issue for a few releases; however, Exchange Service Pack 1 brings the bug to the foreground.
What the tech boards are saying:
- Mobile devices running Android 2.2 “should” work with Exchange 2010 SP1
- Google fixed the bug in their ActiveSync code Sep 27, 2010. It is up to the handset manufacturers and network providers to provide an update (for the 2.2 release) to their customers’ handsets
- Devices running Android 2.1 may work, depending on handset manufacturer customizations
- Any device running Android OS earlier than version 2.1 will probably not work with Exchange 2010
- Android-based devices other than those listed below may also have issues.
Potentially Affected Phones:
