Hi. The company i work for uses G Apps for our email accounts, and I want to add it on my phone (oneplus 3t) so i can check my work emails and calendar, but I don't want to add Mobile Device Management since I don't want to give them any control over my phone. Is there a way to accomplish this in a rooted phone?

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..
Hi,
I just bought my first Android - Samsung Galaxy Note. The only other mobile I have ever owned was a blackberry curve and I never installed a single app on it.
My Question: What reason does Google Play Store 3.5.16 have to require the following permissions?
Your Messages - Receive SMS
Your accounts - Act as account authenticator, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account
Phone Calls - Read phone status and ID
The other permissions that it requests I can somewhat understand, but why on earth does it need access to my SMS? My accounts and my phone calls?
Sincerely,
dustfingr
For example, if you browse Google Play on your PC, the process of installing an app onto you phone is simplified by sending the app link to your phone. That's why Google Play requires Receive SMS permissions.
Also I don't know exactly, but maybe it's required for bying apps using SMS and phone calls.

It needs the 2nd permission so that it can use your Google account to access the market. The rest of the things it can do with that permission are just tied into the permission itself and not necessarily used.
The 3rd permission is in order to identify the phone type so that it can link your device to your account and only be able to install apps that are meant to work on it.
As for the SMS permission, I have no idea about that one but it's nothing to do with remote installation or being able to install other apps that require that permission.
Did you try Googling for this info? I'd imagine Google would have more information on this than anyone else.
Does anyone have experience with profiles in KitKat? I have an LG G Pad (Verizon) and would like to allow my kids to use it (rarely) without access to my work information. I have tried two ways so far:
- Add Restricted Profile: this lets me allow access to apps I have installed and it sort of inherits some information from my Google accounts. However, I have been unable to get Play Music or Play Movies to work - it doesn't appear able to authenticate or get proper access to the base Google accounts. There are errors that seem to indicated that Google Play Services and not available to the restricted account. Am I doing something wrong? Why allow access to Play Music, if you can't get access to the music in any accounts?
- Add a new User: this will work for what I want to do, but I will need to re-setup everything, as it inherits nothing from my account. I will need to re-add the Google accounts, re-install any apps that are wanted, etc.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Or other options? I need to be able to keep the hotspot running in the background as well, to feed the other devices in the car.
Thanks.
I would like to switch to Chrome OS for "industrial" use by installing android apks on Chrome instead of Android and benefiting from a better remote management and OS version control/updates.
However one apk to be installed requires, for licensing, that a specific account be registered on the system.
On Android, you go to "accounts" and then add it - it is a simple mail account, though that could be a Gmail/Google account - but the same account will have to be deployed on the fleet of devices, so many devices on one account.
Do we have the same possibility on Chrome OS?
Thanks,
Nicolas
Ask Dev. For volume licensing?

Are you asking if you can set up accounts on ChromeOS' Android subsystem? If so, the answer is yes- via the Android Settings. Works exactly the same as within Android itself.
If you're trying to set up an email account specifically-- you can use Gmail accounts with the Gmail Android app (which would use Account Settings as described above). You can use the web app via mail.google.com. Or if you want to go outside google, you can use something like K-9 mail (which you can get via the Play Store or via F-Droid or even build and deply yourself) and set that up just like any other Android app.
Hope this answers the question.
I have a kid with an Android Tablet and I need to set up parental control. Google Family Link doesn't cost (more) and it seems good. (I'm open to other suggestions.) When we first gave my kid the tablet we set it up as UserName1.
As a part of Family Link I created [email protected] as a child-under-my-care. Now in order to use Family Link on the child's Android device I have to remove the previous Google account (UserName1), or add an additional user. So far I'm only able to find Settings / Cloud and Acccounts. In there I see Google / Accounts but that is only the Sync settings, i.e. do sync or don't sync. So I don't see how to remove that Google account. I've been going in circles on this issue.
While trying to add Family Link I filled in a form that UserName1 is a person under 13, that resulted in that account being suspended, to be deleted in 30 days unless I enter a credit card.
Is there a way for me to put all the apps etc. that are in UserName1 into UserName2. Would I need root access etc. for that?
