More than one user account? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to Android but have been using a Tab S tablet for a few months now where I have two user accounts set up. Is this also possible on a cell phone, specifically the edge?
If so, can I use the fingerprint scanner to determine which account I log into? With the tab it is not as I have to select the account first then scan my fingerprint. Ideally the system would log in based on the scan recognized so that if my wife scanned her finger the phone would log into her account and show her contacts, email and apps.
Thanks

Sync with Google Calendar help?

I am having trouble syncing my phone with my Google Calendar. I went thru the instructions that google lays out, but the instructions say to leave the "domain" field empty. I cannot continue the setup until I put something in the domain field so I place a "space" in there and hit next.
When I am finished it will not sync:
Result: The server you are attempting to synchronize with is either not an Exchange Server or is running incompatible software. Please correct your server address in Exchange Setup or contact your Exchance Administrator. Code 0x85030022
any help?
i had some hiccups similar to this until i used the full username including @gmail.com or @googlemail.com suffix.. you can find out exactly that your address is in the upper right hand corner of the screen when logged into gmail in a normal browser..
I have been using goosync for about 9 months and love it. I got the paid the subscription and it lets me sync multiple google calendars as separate categories.
you should put in your FQDN. put "google" in the domain if you HAVE to.

[Q] Galaxy 10.1 and exchange accnt

Hello,
I'm having trouble adding my exchange account. I am able to add the account, but then it just stays on loading and shows up blank. during the setup it doesn't ask to allow remote access for the server. The weird thing is, I have a user who hasn't started yet and was able to add their account to the tab correctly but I cannot add my own. That confirms the settings are correct.
I have my exchange account added without issue to my galaxy s phone and am wondering if having the exchange account on two Android devices causes any issues?
Any ideas before I try a factory reset?
Gone a little bit deeper with this. First off, when I add another user's exchange account to my tab, it will prompt with the dialog to say that the server is able to remotely wipe the phone, etc. However, when i try to add my account, it doesn't prompt for it and just goes straight to the settings. After it finishes and i get to the mailbox, i just says loading, stays blank and doesn't show anything, the calendar doesn't sync either.
I have noticed somethign else, when i use outlook web access I can see the phones added to the account (including the tab) but only when i go to OWA light, if i use the regular one it says no devices added...
Is it possible that activesync will only allow one device per user account? Right now I'm planning to delete the account off my galaxy s and try to add again. If that doesn't work i may wipe the 10.1...
Any idea?
Dear,
I had a similar problem, and could not find any information about this. However, by accident, I discovered that it will work only after your remove your google account.
So I suggest that your remove google account and try to add the exchnage account and see if it works.
But if it does, I don't know what to do later on if you like to add it again.
Good luck.
Yeah, there's no such limitation on the Exchange side. About the only screw that could be an issue is a self-signed SSL cert - which likely isn't one, since you said that another user account had succeeded.
It won't be an exch policy on you either, since it is working with with your S.
With that... blow out the other mail things on the tab, and start with exactly the Exch account as st70 suggested.
Gonna try mine now and see what it does with 2 gmail accts already configured.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Note, that the other exchange accounts that were added correctly, were added to my tab 10.1 correctly even with the gmail account already there. I am able to add two other exchange accounts however I cannot add mine one.
I removed the gmail account and tried again, did the same thing.
I removed the exchange account from my Galaxy S, went into outlook web access and removed all my devices from there and turned off the phone. Then I reset the galaxy s to factory default and tried again... didn't work...
Went back to the Galaxy S and could add the exchange account again easily... very annoying...
Note that when I add the exchange account, the first difference I notice is that it doesn't prompt to say this device can be controlled remotely by the server, etc but it does when i add the other exchange accounts properly.
Second, when in email, it just says loading and doesn't load. When I go to calendars, my exchange account shows up there, but when i click on it it says
"No Calendar Available".
The worst part of all this is my my boss has an ipad and was able to add his account pretty easily without issue...
Any suggestions?

Android Phone safety against theft/snatch/loss

Hello,
I am sure there are numerous applications for GPS tracking and remote controlling/wiping all the data and settings pattern/numeric access codes for your mobiles.
Problem is that executing these safety measures are somehow dependent on certain other factors and can have successful or unsuccessful consequences.
I am thinking of anything more basic and hassle free way of ensuring that even in worst condition I can have certain peace of mind that my critical gmail account data would not be accessed for unauthorized use. For example when it was unlocked for use and meanwhile it was lost or snatched how can I be sure that my google account information specifically gmail/maps are safe. I know I can change the password by reaching to a nearby PC, but that is not always a possibility.
I have got my Samsung Galaxy S2 for more than a month and just figuring out a safe way before putting it in active use.
An idea which I am thinking of is to have another Gmail account specifically for use with Android Phone, and import/export the actual "Contacts" only to this new email account. Since contacts are the most frequently used item, they would be in sync with the new email account, any delta changes would have to be replicated to your original gmail account as well.
I dont use Picasa, so it is of no importance to me to sync the pictures with picasa account.
For access to my actual gmail and other emails (like work email) I can use an add on email android applications like K9-Mail to configure the gmail as IMAP. To get access to this email program I can install any application which can password protect the access to applications and can reactivate the password after any time of inactivity. I dont know whether in such case would I get popup in the notification bar for new emails or not.
The only two most used applications now left are
- Maps and Latitude
- Google Plus
Now both of them need to be used with my actual gmail account, since all contacts and connection are related to my actual identity on google.
So i need to know that is it possible to use one gmail (fake/secondary) account on android phone just for syncing contacts and use another actual (primary/original) account for logging in the official google maps and google plus applications. I know even in this case the password needs to be changed in case of a mishap, however I can be a bit satisfied that all critical data in the email storage is safe.
I just need your opinions and suggestion on the mentioned procedure, or is there any other good and recommended practice for getting multiple accounts configured on Android Phone and selectively use the google accounts for different applications.
Thanks for your inputs.
Hmm...seems like everyone is so sure of the safety of their handset, no one even gives a s*** to think about the worst-case scenario of losing a device.
Cheers...hope everyone retains the droid for life..

[Q] Procedure for changing google account associated with phone

I've got a new phone, and both it and my old one show up on Google Play, with the tabs showing the respective apps installed.
The old one is rooted, and I want to let my son use it on his own GMail ID. I've no problem resetting it or loading a completely new ROM.
Is there a proper procedure for dissociating it from my GMail ID and adding it to his. I have a suspicion that if I just change the associated email address in the Google Play settings on the phone, it will still appear on my list of devices.
If his gmail account isn't connected to yours then a factory reset and then add his account and then it should disappear. This means all paid apps would have to be bought again. Idk if google saves the device in your list but you wont have access to it.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to make sure its tab disappears from my google account - it sounds like it's not possible...

Samsung S7 Questions

I have a S7. It used to power up fine and go to the main screen. Now it boots up like it is brand new. It wants to connect to the internet and asks for a gmail account. I don't have that gmail account for this phone. It was given to me. How can I bypass this to just use the phones apps and wifi to the internet? No paid service.
Thanks
Joe
When in doubt. Youtube it.
Well I still have questions. Do I have to do a restore defaults? Or clear data? I want to keep whats on the phone.
@joebudd
You disable FRP by doing
Go to Settings.
Choose Cloud and Accounts - on some devices, this may be just Accounts and then you’ll skip the next step.
Tap Accounts.
Find and tap your Google account.
Tap Remove Account.
The only problem is I can't get into the phone. It powers up and there is a start button. Then the internet, then sign in to the google account assigned to the phone. I need to get around that.
@joebudd
If you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, then to remove FRP lock you can try out Windows app called GSM Flasher ADB FRP Bypass Tool .
Ok I am in. There are so many different ways it's not funny. I do have another question. The phone comes up with the old number that was put in the phone. Can it be removed? Also can activation incomplete be removed as well?
