Company I work for uses Honor 7s phones , we have 40 altogether running a dedicated app for our business. we have installed Mobilock Kiosk to lock down the phones and set a default app (company app) to start as soon as the phone boots up.
Mobilock is password protected which prevents the home screen from being displayed along with access to other apps ie Google Play, facebook etc,etc.
Problem we have however is if the notification panel is pulled down user has access to settings etc. I have searched for information and tried several "free" apps to prevent this happening but this has proved tiresome and fruitless, any ideas, info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Anyone have details, links, or ideas? I need something that locks app to device so that they cant be uninstalled without password. Have a child impossible to get up for school and want to install xtreme alarm clock and them not able to remove it.
Galaxy tab 7
Smart Home Screen & Application Locker (With Guest Mode access)
There are more than 250 App Locks in the Google Play marketplace. How is this one different, all the features seem to be the same in each of the app.
We developed an app that would solve one of the biggest issues with app lockers. When I use app lock on my phone, it does not mean that I can keep the home scree of the phone unlocked. Therefore, when I want to you use a protected app (protected by any app locker from the market), I would first need to unlock the home screen and then unlock the app. This two step process becomes too tedious when a user has to use any app frequently. For example, in case you are chatting with a person, the replies do not come soon enough that you are chatting on run time basis, so the app and the screen get locked. You would need to open both of them in order to reply to the chat message.
We came up with a solution that is combination of an app lock as well as a home screen lock. The user can select all the apps that he wants to keep locked and private. The user then creates a master password/ PIN/ Pattern and a Guest Password/PIN/Pattern. When the home screen is unlocked using the master password, all the protected apps get automatically unlocked along with the home screen. So when you are using your own phone, you do not have to input two passwords.
In case someone borrows your phone, or want to just have a look at it or make a small call; give them your Guest Password/ PIN/ Pattern. The home screen will open with this Guest Password, but all your protected apps continue to be locked.
We believe that such a combination is not available on any of the apps that are marketed. Therefore, we went ahead and filed a patent on it as well. We hope you would like the app. You can download it for free from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker
Hello Everyone
Start off by saying I have little to no Android knowledge (rooting, custom ROMs, modding or programs for such things), however I have basic knowledge of linux and the command line.
My S2 GT-i9100 rapidly heats up and its battery is *unimaginably* and randomly depleted by Google Play Services and quickly renders it useless as a device. I want to fix it and not turn it into a brick.
I got the phone from a family member from Europe (I live in Australia), who had used it for about 6 months. When I got it, it was already unlocked and rooted by some phone place over there. I didn't have any problems.
Recently however Google Play Services (size 127 MB) has randomly started doing *something*, this despite no mobile broadband and almost no internet usage from wifi either to invoke it. Considering it is on ICS (no idea how to upgrade, or whether i should upgrade, or what to upgrade to) it has to be either a bug or a virus considering all those Android exploits in the news recently.
To fix it whenever it occurs, I clear the RAM twice then go into the list of Applications and Force Stop Google Play Services (more than once if the button isn't greyed out).
I tried to disable the components of Google Play Services(listed below) but the problem continued AND it erased the names of my contacts meaning I was left with a bunch of numbers with no name.
Google Bookmarks Sync
Google Play services
Google Services Framework
Google Account Manager
Network Location
Google Contacts Sync
Some details:
Wi-Fi use only (and nonexistent nowadays), no mobile broadband
GT-i9100 running Android 4.0.3 (ICS)
ROM, unknown if original / custom, has a T-Mobile animation screen on bootup and shutdown
It also has a yellow triangle at the bottom when I turn it on (don't care about cosmetics)
Rooted with CWW (no idea about how that works or what it means) and SuperSU (i do know how root user works in linux)
Root Browser + Terminal Emulator installed (my doing)
Google Authenticator + Microsoft Account Authenticator (i don't wanna screw up anything with these, got codes for google authenticator, need to research microsoft)
Call history and text messages (I would like to keep these and would like to know how to backup the phone first of all)
So I'm looking to figure out what would be the best course of action to fix this without screwing up anything. I know the standard solution would be a factory reset but I don't have any backups (also don't know how to), don't want to brick the phone and don't know what it would actually do, and even if it worked, how to root the phone again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
i had the same massive battery draining. Problem was Google Fit App. After uninstalling the app the battery draining is gone. I think this app prevented the google services to fall in "doze" mode. Perhaps you have a similar app!?
Disclaimer: I have already posted this in the S2 specific forum, unfortunately a lack of response is why I am also posting this here.

My phone was serviced "reprogrammed" and when it came back I keep getting ads. I tried resetting the phone but it still keeps getting adware silently installed. Is there any way to fix this?
You are not alone. Bought this phone for my mom since she likes a bigger screen to do social media stuff. The malware popped in after the last ota. The official wirelessupdate app included on the phone silently installs random apks that pushes full screen ads and impersonates clicks even if the the phone is not being used. This is common with generic android phones coming from CHINA
I haven't figured out a way to root the phone as most rooting methods will fail(because of the sucky spreadtrum SOC which makes it difficult to root the phone).SADLY, rooting is the only way to disable/uninstall the wirelessupdate app.
However, here's a workaround I found that works.
1) restrict your network to limit background data usage (Found in settings).
2) **uninstall the malware app: finding the app may be difficult as It normally disguises itself as a system app with names like radio, settings, wifi or some application name that doesn't even make sense. It uses a lot of data and is always active. You'll know its the fake app if it poses as a system app but you have the option to uninstall it(System apps cannot be uninstalled without root/Su access).
Buttt....
The wireless update will probably install another malware app after uninstalling the current one.
3)disable notification of the app so it doesnt send fake notifications to you that opens ad based webpages as it also fakes notification, posing as a fake notif from FB, whatsapp
4) force stop it and stop the services from settings so it doesn't load or push apps while you use your phone
Restarting the phone will make the app run again
5) Remove the app's permission. By default its granted access to location, settings, storage and sometimes camera or mic. The wireless app doesnt detect this and wont turn those permission back on
6) lastly, you can contact firefly support AND PRAY TO THE GOOD LORD they know know what they're doing. Because I did and they were completely clueless on the troubleshooting or on the issue itself and even blamed the problem on the user. Ridiculously stupid.
I haven't really tried ADB yet because i don't have the time and the phone lacks resources online to restore it in case I brick it. Frankly, this phone is not worth investing time fixing especially with the quality of support it has from Firefly and the price it asked for.
Hi.
Is it possible to move from one Android device whole application with all the settings like logins, passwords.
One is internet banking from the Country I am not in yet. I do not want to end with issue like that app will stop working one the first mobile and I will need to go to the branch or so to get registered on the second mobile.
So I'm sure I have some malware or something on my phone I turned on developer mode because someone told me it had a basic task killer to stop background apps but now I have this folder pop up I'll delete it and it just changes names not only that my tethering data went through the roof any help is greatly appreciated thank you
Either do a Factory Reset or better, reflash Stock ROM to get rid off of malicious apps / services.
