I have a device management app that uses the DevicePolicyManager methods. On a specific trigger, I invoked the wipeData method with flag = 0 (its a 2.2 HTC incredible). The device rebooted and wiped all device data (not sd card) along with any configured google accounts (listed under Settings -> Accounts & Sync). However, I was surprised to see that I was still able to receive/send my company emails from the Email app. I had to manually go to the email app click on settings and delete my account. Any idea if anything is wrong with this. I though being able to wipeData is one of the security measures for an enterprise. And if still one is able to access enterprise email after a remote wipe then it becomes pointless ! I'm absolutely stunned. Just to be sure, before posting this, I re-ran the whole procedure. Configured my Exchange ActiveSync account, installed my device management app and triggered the wipeData function. On reboot and "data wipe", I find that the configured account doesn't show up in the Accounts & Sync but in the Email app it is still configured and I'm able to send receive messages.
Again, this is happening on my HTC Droid Incredible (Verizon). I havent' yet tested it on any other device. If I get a change to test, I'll update.
EDIT: I tested this on the Droid Pro as well as the HTC Evo. Both are getting wiped cleanly. So Seems that this issue is specific to HTC Incredible. The one I have is running Android 2.2 and the HTC kernel version is : 2.6.32.15-g5e1ad8b htc-kernel@and18-2#1
