Hi all,
I bought myself a new Surface Duo - device a while ago.
I have tried to find a setting on the SD - device where I could configure a multi-user profile, but I haven´t found.
Can anyone advise where to find that settings?
Here's a link to Google's support page, which tells you more about the user profile - setting I'm looking for:
Delete, switch, or add users - Nexus Help
You can share your device with family and friends by creating a user profile for each person. Each user profile has a personal space on the device fo

Thanks!

Hi -
Android Device info:
Android 4.0.4
Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1
I am trying to image and deploy 500+ Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 devices. The requirement is, that the 500+ tablets configured and provisioned with the relevant applications for the end-users before delivery...December 31st 2012 - :crying:
I have been manually creating gmail accounts for each device via WiFi since I am not sure of a better way. Now I am starting to notice that some tablets have an error message "Your account has been disabled." Would Google disable these new gmail accounts because they are coming from the same IP address? I am so worried because I can not afford to lose any of the gmail accounts since they are specific to each end user.
P.S.
I am installing a mdm - SOTI
I found a thread discussing Android mass deployment using an "update.zip" if anyone could help me do this I would be willing to pay. I don't see anyway I am going to make this deadline doing each one manually. I was just laid off from this company, but brought back on as a contractor to assist with this last minute project. I would hate to lose this opportunity since its the only one I have.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Should I provide additional info?

Hey did you ever get a solution to this?
I'm after the advice of someone who knows about Android permissions and security.
I'd like to make use of this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faradayinstitute&hl=en
That requires these permissions:
This app has access to these permissions:
Your messages
receive text messages (SMS)
Network communication
full network access
view network connections
view Wi-Fi connections
Phone calls
read phone status and identity
Storage
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Microphone
record audio
Your social information
read your contacts
modify your contacts
read call log
write call log
Your accounts
find accounts on the device
System tools
send sticky broadcast
test access to protected storage
Affects battery
control vibration
prevent device from sleeping
Your applications information
run at startup
Audio settings
change your audio settings
But isn't that list of permissions completely OTT? I expressed my concerns to them and received the following reply:
I am writing to update you with regards to your enquiry about the Faraday App. I have been in touch with our developers and they have informed me that although this is a long list it is quite common with Android. They are currently working to see if they can reduce the list, however, there is nothing to worry about since you know the origin of there App, The Faraday Institute, and therefore can easily determine whether you wish to allow access (if it is a source you trust/is reputable etc..). The reason they need access to some parts is simply to add their details to your phone, (access your phone book for example is only to add The Faraday to your contacts).
I hope this answers your query for now. I will update you when I receive more information from the developers. Please feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.
I'm no expert but it doesn't really seem satisfactory - or am I worrying necessarily?

Just a "news" app. Here's the description:
The official application of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. Access news, leading stories of the day, educational resources, and much more, from the institute that is leading research in the understanding of the relation between science and religion.

Hi there,
Been a frequent reader of the formus for a long time, though I can usually get the information I need without having to annoy anyone with questions... Guess there's a first time for everything!
I have a question about Device Security Policies. Specifically, Lotus Notes Traveller.
All of our users have the option of having their company email accounts on their mobile devices. All of them use iOS devices, but sadly, we apply the same policy rules and all of the same administrator settings to all operating systems. So here's where I have the problem...
I like the convenience of having the Lotus Notes Traveller suite on my phone. Mainly for To-Do and Calender sync, but occasional email is useful. Our Lotus Notes policy reques a password of a certain strength to be enabled on all devices - it must consist of letters, numbers, lower case, upper case and can contain symbols. My issue is that it is frustratingly slow an inconveninece to enter such a complex password every single time I take my phone out of my pocket(a lot!) but I don't want to disable the android policies since there could be some users switching from iPhones to Galaxy S4/S5s.
What I am wondering is, can I do something on my Android device(Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 LTE) that will fake or spoof the secuirty strength and let Lotus Notes still sync with the server even if I don't have a password on my device?
In summary:
- Lotus notes needs a complex password to operate
- I don't want one
- Can I have a less complex password(PIN) or even no unlock secuirty but fool Notes into thinking my device secuirty meets policy.
Sorry if I haven't explained this clearly enough. If you need any more informaiton, please let me know.
If you feel some additional information on the Lotus Notes side could be useful you can get more information by Google searching "Enabling Android device security via Lotus Notes Traveler" there will be an IBM link with all the info. Sorry I couldn't give you a URL - apparently I need to have 10+ posts to my name before I can use external links! :angel:
For now I have uninstalled the Lotus Notes Traveller suite so I could go back to my handy 4 digit unlock PIN :good:
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ace
P.S. I am comfortable with Flashing updates and/or custom ROMs if that's a posible solution. I currently run PAC ROM AIO Black Power-Edition NG 4.4.2.
Maybe something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398934 ?
Another idea: Maybe you could use something like KeePass or LastPass to be able to both have complex passwords and be simple to enter?
Hi all,
I post a new thread here to list good pratctices when you are using an android/cyanogen smartphone in an active compromised Network.
For exemple (in my case) active Mitm, SSL Strip, Account stealer, spyware, email tracking and other sh****.
For the moment i used :
HTML:
1 - long password
2 - Crypto with second password
3 - usb charging only
4 - VPN only with Certficat (PIA)
5 - Auto disabling Wifi
6 - Private SMS reader
7 - Firefox Browser
8 - LastPass for psw storage & generation
9 - AppNotifier
10 - 2Way Auth when i can
Actually with this configuration my smartphone is able to resist.
Planning to use bt tethering to avoid wifi attack & password change policy.
If you have some ideas or information about that Please feel free to share this with others.
Hello erverybody,
I am looking for a solution to use both things on the phone at the same time (Business and Private).
The Problem is to separte the contacts and mails so i wish a similar solution as Samsung my knox / secure Folder.
i have read some small News about LG Gate on the web that this will provide similar functions...
But i can't finde the App on my Phone or in the LG Smart World
at this time i give a try for 'Nine' but this solution is not the best...
Than i will not Sync the Buisiness contacts to my private contacts and so i can see the buisiness contacts of my Exchange account in the Nine App.
This works good but the incoming Phone calls on the Business Sim Card will not identify.

If you have root you could enable "mutiuser guest mode" which allows another user to use this device and it is totally seperate access. When you add another user it will walk yoi through the setup wizard again, just like when you first setup your v20.
I can't remember if it can share apps, I think thats optional and has to be set using the primary account.
If you have root you can flash the option to "enable" it here
If you find this or any posts be sure and hit the thanks button on the bottom left. Only saying this because it looks like, by your post count, you are starting to be more active in discussions.
Thank you Stangedriver for you're replay!
But i have found another pefect solution for this case for free and without root rights
The Solutions is "Android Enterprise " based on the Samsung Knox System, here you can creat a Work Container
with seperated Apps and Contacts. The Trial or Demo for Android Enterprise is completely sufficient for this case
- The phone can identify the incoming calls from both Adressbooks
- You can install a second WhatsApp account without a other help app such as parallel system
More infomations you can find here: https://www.android.com/intl/en_uk/enterprise/management/
