Screen lock timeout on ICS (MS Exchange)?

Does ICS on Sola support MS Exchange sync screen lock timeout? On GB it is working nicely at the moment (pin is required only after 15 minutes), but on Xperia Arc this feature was removed when ICS came out. Can anyone cofirm that it's working on Sola's ICS?

What better way to find out than to install ICS yourself.


I can cofirm that lock screen timeout is still configurable on Sola with ICS, but it's a bit different:

a) you don't have to first unlock with the swipe gesture to enter the pin

b) when setting the timeout to 10 minutes, the phone doesn't lock the screen at all - on GB you would still have to swipe to unlock it

What I did was get a screen lock widget that I use for locking the phone when putting to pocket. As an alternative you can configure ICS to automatically lock when power button is pressed (ignoring the timeout).

Nobody uses MS Exchange these days?

I'm using Exchange in ICS, if your Exchange server requires a client certificate then you must provide a screen lock, so yes, it's supported in ICS on Sola. I don't use it though.
