Google Find My Device Issue - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Since Pie update Google Find My Device does not function properly. It still works on my S8 Plus (Updated to Pie) and tablet but on S9 Plus it will only locate the phone via the maps time line. There is no control to ring, erase and so on. I have logged out of Google and back into the account, cleared the cache in the Google App, Google Play Services, Google Framework and wiped the cache of the phone and still nothing. I'm sure there must be some setting I am overlooking any help will be appreciated. Samsung location service works perfectly.

In your settings on your PHONE, did you enable location tracking?

Or location control or something along those lines.

[Q] Accounts -> Server Sync iCal or something else?

Hi,
The SGS2 has an account add button titled Server Sync. However it is completely undocumented (thanks Samsung).
I run my own iCal (CalDav) server for Calendars. No reason to hand my life over to a marketing company such as Google or anyone else.
Has anyone managed to work out what the Server Sync accounts are for?
These require settings like:
Sync Server
Username
Password
URL
Sync Catagory
Calendar <DBname>
Contacts <DBname>
Memo <DBname>
Sync type
Full Sync
Update both
Update to server
Update to phone
etc
Does anyone know what this is for?
Regards.

I did try and ring Samsung tech support in the Netherlands, but as usual she said "oh its for syncing calendars" to which I asked on a perfectly clear line with excellent reception "Which type of calendar servers?" and replied immediatly,
"Sorry I cannot hear you.."
"yes I can hear you"
"Are you there?"
"yes."
CLICK.
*****.
This has happened everytime I have called Samsung tech support. Fu*kers.

exchange calendar ics issue

With the latest pq and p7 i had an issue syncing phone calendar with exchange (you don't see exchange calendar entries)
No way to get my task nor my agenda.
Anyone found a solution for this?
ps. it it possible that nobody use exchange ??? this is sound very strange to me.....
hi
same problem for me

To make it work (for me atleast)
1. remove the whole exchange account
2. Turn on auto-syncing across your phone.
3. add back your exchange account, but this time make sure on the initial account setup that you select an auto syncing interval (anything except never). I used every hour.
4. Wait a while and it should show up in calendar (it did for me)
I had the same issue and that fixed it, many thanks.

[Q] No Notifications

I'm not getting any notifications from my social media apps. I've made sure that the apps are set up with notifcations sounds. Sync is also set up.
Any suggestions?

Clear data in Application Manager and see if that sorts your issue.
Are stock, rooted, ROM.......?

[Q] ChatSecure on Cyanogenmod (no Gapps): can't connect using Google Account

Hi all,
I've been trying to remove as much proprietary software as possible from my Nexus 7 2013 LTE (deb). I re-flashed CM11 and didn't install Gapps.
I usually use Hangouts; I was hoping to use ChatSecure to connect using my Google account instead but it won't let me log in (if I click add Google account I get a popup with "Account type" that is otherwise empty).
Is there some dependency that ChatSecure needs to be able to use a Google account? Does anyone know how to use a google account with CatSecure without Gapps?
Thanks,
Feathers
Chatsecure and google chat
I know I'm reviving an old thread. I also have the same problem and googling has not yielded satisfactory results.
Anyone else experience the same problem? I have version 13.1.2 of chatsecure from F-Droid installed on CM11. Its the same problem, I tap account type, and a blank popup with header Account Type appears.
Regards
Paul

Ah, that is a bit of a fail. It seems the google account has to already be set up on the device. This means that if we want to operate our Android device without linking anything to Google Chatsecure wont be of any use. I have in stead opted to use Xabber. Pity, as there are many reasons to prefer Chatsecure.

Apologies, another update. ChatSecure can be used with Google Talk even if the google account is not registered on the android device.
I added the Google Talk account as an XMPP account, port 5222 on talk.google.com. So both Xabber and ChatSecure should work without any issues.

good app. I use it instead of fb messenger too.
