Exchange locking policy NOT being enforced

[weinberk]

I've got some information that comes in via email and stored in contacts that shouldn't get into the wrong hands. As such, I want to lock the phone after 15 minute of inactivity.

My exchange server enforces this policy on the device, I got the message when I set up activesync, and have it set for 15 minutes.

However, it doesn't seem to always lock after 15 minutes of inactivity. I'd guess that it locks 1 out of 5 times.

I looked at this thread that talks about disabling what I want:

and confirmed that my settings are all set to enable the feature.

I'm using a stock ROM on a verizon HTC Touch pro. No hacks other than the battery save and "reply" instead of "reply all" registry edits.

Suggestions?

Thanks all - ppcgeeks.com has been great reading!
