Reading other topics I found this Samsung Dive site, which is supposed to track, lock and even wipe my device remotely.
The site properly identifies my GT 10.1, but when I try to use any function of the site, I receive this message:
If "Remote Controls" is deactivated or you didn't allow "Google's Location Service", the use of this feature is restricted.
I have already enabled Google Location Service under the "Location & Security" menu, but I could not find the "Remote Controls" option anywhere.
Is this option hidden somewhere or is it only available on Samsung phones?
Did you manage to track your device using Samsung Dive?

The option is only available if you have flashed a TouchWiz ROM on your device. Then it is in the options by where you encrypt your tablet.
tried last week it was working fine but now Samsungdive.com is acting up on every browser

Here's the problem.
When I try to connect to my University's network , the my Galaxy S is able to connect JUST fine. However, when I open a browser it says the incoming certificate is not secure and then I have NO INTERNET on any page. It tries to redirect me to the login page for the network but fails to do so with a "communications error" and subsequent no internet access of any sort.
What the network is supposed to do is redirect me to the login page so that I can register the device to the network and login using my university account. My phone can't do that apparently and just sits connected to the network with NO INTERNET connectivity. How can I fix the problem?
This is the university network and the instructions how to get on it for Android devices:
http://www.colorado.edu/its/docs/wir...dwireless.html
I connect to it just fine but am UNABLE to get to that device registration/login page.
This is NOT just for my university. ANY public network which requires me to accept an "agreement" before it lets me have internet access, my phone KILLS ITSELF and CANNOT pull up the agreement page but instead tells me there is no internet. I'm SURE its a software problem or something with settings but can't figure out just what it is. Help?
Just about the only networks I can connect to on Wi-Fi are home networks.
You could see if your university has the (presumably) self-signed root certificate for their trust chain for their captive portal and install it on your Android device. That would make the browser warning go away.
You could also check if there is a "show security warnings" option in your browser and disable it to skip over the certificate entirely.
Or perhaps Samsung did something funky to the browser to explicitly forbid access to self-signed sites? I'm not too sure there, I only have HTC devices to test with.
Well the thing is I tried several browsers.
1. The default one that comes with Android
2. Opera mini
3. DolphinHD
All same thing. I'm now going to test with a beta build of Firefox for android (fennero was it called I forget) but its SUCH a stupid thing to not work. Every other device WORKS. Blackberries, Iphones, tablets, laptops....everything.
EDIT: The EXACT error I get is:
"There is a problem with the security certificate for this site. This certificate is not from a trusted authority." I get this AS it attempts to load the redirect login page (both university and at work now). Same issue. It's browser/certificate related. And its ANNOYING as hell.
EDIT 2: Found the problem. It's that stupid certificate.
"This is a result of your corporation using an in house Certificate Authority to provide SSL encryption on your mail server and clients.
Basically....the computer that issued the certificate isn't trusted by the android phone. I'm new to android so I'm not sure if you can add a trusted CA (I haven't seen any options for it).
I don't know about future updates like the above poster mentioned.
Most companies will purchase a certificate from one of the major Certificate Authorities on the internet, which are pre-programed into most operating systems to be trusted. Internal CA's are trusted by the domain environment at your work, but not by anyone else. External (Internet) CA's are trusted by everyone.
if you want an example, open up IE (gross I know) and go to your options. Click the content tab, then there should be a button label certificates. inside the certificates window select Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
That is a list of all the builtin trusted CA's provided by Microsoft and the companies that govern the internet. "
I STILL have no idea how to fix it and to make the phone accept the certificate though.
EDIT 3: Fennec (Mozilla Firefox for Android beta) managed to pull up the login page for my work network. Not sure if it will work for the university yet.

Help please
Hello,
I have a rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 that I primarily use, along with other iOS and Android devices that people close to me use. They are all my devices, and sometimes I want to check to see where the devices is located, be it one of my iOS devices or an Android device. I am looking for an app (paid or free, it doesn't matter to me as long as it works!) that allows you to find iOS devices (by entering the iCloud account) and also allows you to find your android devices (by entering the google account associated with the device).
I have all of these devices below, all assigned to different iCloud accounts, and Google accounts than my Galaxy S5 phone:
iPad Retina Display (assigned to iClound account "[email protected]")
iPhone 6 (assigned to iClound account "[email protected]")
Samsung Galaxy S3 (assigned to Google account "[email protected]")
Rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 (assigned to Google account "[email protected]")
Rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Tablet (assigned to Google account "[email protected]")
HTC One M8 (assigned to Google account "[email protected]")
I was wondering if there was an Android app that I could install on my rooted Galaxy S5 to allow me to enter and save all the above account credentials, and when I want to locate a device (and make it ring, or freeze it, etc), I can open the app, select the account, and have it find it.
Currently the only way I can manage these is by using Android Device Manager and using the Guest option to log in to find the other Google Account's Devices, and opening a separate app on my Galaxy S5 to find where my iOS devices are (and I have to log in, typing the full iCloud email and password each time - no options to store).
I found one app that was SO close to what I want - from the Play store (I can't link it - don't have enough posts) called "Find My Phone, xFi Locator Pro". It allows me to store multiple iOS iCloud accounts and find them whenever I want, and it also lets you find Android devices too. But for some reason, the developers decided to make it so you have to install this app - xFi Endpoint- on each Android device you want to be able to locate. So for Android, it doesn't let you log in with a google account, it makes you log in with the google email address, and a PIN set up from that xFi Endpoint app. This is quoted from the "xFi Locator Pro" description:
xFi Locator
This app will locate and perform real-time location tracking of iOS devices as well as Android devices.
-To locate an iOS device, use iCloud credential that was used to activate the target device.
-To locate an Android device, install this app,xFi Endpoint, on the target device.

So that app is not what I want. I am wondering if there even is such an app. If there isn't, I think I will try to make my own. But I can't believe there isn't an app out there already. Maybe it's not possible to make because of some restriction by Google? I don't know.
Does anyone know of a solution for me?
Thank you very much for reading and for any help.
Samsung Galaxy S9+. Whenever I try to view a picture I get a popup that says, "Allow location to be shown?"
If I tap on it, it goes to google chrome, and brings up a privacy statement from foursquare.
Virus?
No, I have the same on my device. Dont know why they need foursquare to show coordinates on Google maps though...
Hey,
So I have this case at work, employee that was leaving company returned company issued phone after a very long time of deleting this user's google account, covid situation made it hard to return the equipment back to the company earlier.
There was a screen lock that was forgotten by this user, what made removing de-facto non-existing google account from it's settings impossible.
Only option was to factory rest it through recovery mode and try to bypass it.
The problem is that every tutorial I found online is outdated.
- I tried using the talkback way but the option to show privacy policy is not even there now.
- using proxy method while connecting phone to the Wi-fi also doesn't work because the error message that should pop up after a while of no internet connection also doesn't show up.
- Trying to open up any app using "share" option on selected text also doesn't work, after pressing "share" a pop up window with apps is empty.
My question is does anyone by any chance knows another way or maybe there is a possibility to downgrade the system so above solutions might work again.
We even tried to re-create this users' gmail account only to log in with those credentials but it didn't work.
