I'm a samsung Dive User. My phone was stolen, and recovered thanks to that.
I know there are ways to bypass that (not going to discuss that here) but they require some knowledge that's not available to common users.
Recently, i found that in the Stock ICS, it's possible to remove the samsung account without any effort. just click remove. that's a serious issue, since it's supposed to be a security feature, it should be difficult (almost impossible) to remove. Users rely on that in case of loosing their devices.
GB didn't let you remove the samsung account without wiping, and didn't let you wipe (in the documented way) the phone without the account's password.
if you try to wipe the stock ICS, it will warn you to remove the samsung account, witch you can do (As instructed by the wipe dialog) just removing it
Samsung need to fix this, but, since they do (if they do it) users should be aware of that, and know they are not secure just with samsung dive.

Really? I'm trying right now: you need to enter the password to disable remote controls and you simply cannot remove the Samsung account without a factory wipe (like the primary Google account).

I can just go to account and click remove... and it goes away. I tried this in a few stock ICS versions. LPQ, LPS, LP4, and LP7
In GB, it works as you describe

I confirm in ICS ; u can remove samsung account without any password and bcuz of that I revert to GB last month... Although there was other problem aswell
Yep, on XWLP8 and you can simply remove the Samsung account removing Dive / remote control features... :thumbdown: sigh

LP9 Singapore is the same. Account can be removed without even beying asked for a password.
This needs to be adressed to Samsung
Tried it on LP8, yeah easily removed, guess locking the screen with pattern or pin is necessary if you don't want someone to remove it.
And who the hell rate this thread at one star when it brings up valid security issue? Seems we have some one star ninjas who go around just to crap on threads.
Thanks to all that confirmed this issue... This os a big issue

Other down point is that now when you use it, messages appear on the device's notification bar: "find my mobile" ... "found by samsung". It's just missing messages like "turn off the phone now, cops'll be here soon", or even better: "wipe samsung account and do a factory reset immediately if you want to keep this mobile for yourself"

Same here with 4.0.3 LPD; somehow, overnight, my phone lost many of its settings, including the 'remote controls' and 'SIM change alert' settings for DIVE. Attempting to enable them resulted in a wait pop-up for a bit, then they automatically unticked. I was able to delete my Samsung account as the OP describes; when I re-created it, 'remote controls' was automatically re-enabled, and I could enable 'SIM change alert'. DIVE's "Ring My Mobile" function doesn't work any more though. It didn't work with GB 2.3.5, and started working again after I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 LPD.
Is Samsung's firmware the buggiest in the business, or what?
in ics and jb it's gone like never exist .
i tried anti virus's but they removed with wipe too.
is there any way to stop wiping?
Remote controls are present in XWLPT. Trying to untick them requires the Samsung account password to be entered

Not sure this goes along with the rules on XDA and security in general. There is a reason you no longer have access to a device. We can't and should not take the risk and guess what that reason might be. At all times we should assume an unauthorized access attempt. Especially in this case. Reported (under reserve).

Maybe because this Exploit has been fixed and Google won`t let you bypass the FRP like that forever. It never worked on ALL devices.
this just happened to me on my htc m9. i changed my password sunday. reset my device and im like WTF? im done with google, this feature should be duely noted to consumers and in the literature. im taking my paperweight m9 back to tmobile and getting an iphone. i don't mind security but this is too much.

It appears there's no Samsung Find My Mobile settings on my S7 edge. There's no way to control/change Remote Controls, SIM Change Alert, and Reactivation Lock. I know there's alternatives out there but I actually like using this service.
On my S6 edge, they were under Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Find My Mobile.
Anybody find these settings?
Quick check of AT&T manual versus Verizon manual shows Verizon's manual makes no mention of the settings to enable this feature. AT&T'S manual does show the setting being present in the settings app security settings.
Samsung's "Find my mobile" web portal has a help feature describing how to tell if your device can be used with Find my mobile.
The Verizon variant truly does seem to lack support for it, since the options for enabling it are not found where Samsung's help feature says they will be on feature-capable devices.
You can go third party like Cerebrus or use Google's Android Device Manager to replicate some, but not all, of this feature's capabilities.
I'm sure no one will be surprised to learn that Verizon sells a premium version of their pre-installed basic VZ Protect feature that includes device location for a monthly fee.
I simply cannot believe the degree to which Samsung has agreed to cripple this flagship device's features to meet this carrier's demands. Were I the Samsung executive that handled these arrangements, I would have told Verizon they would receive no accommodations for device configuration that differed from any other American carrier and let them decide if they wanted to be the only major carrier unable to offer the device to their customers.

It's disabled on mine too. I'm on Sprint.

I went to Android Device Manager and my s7 Edge was there without me having to have done anything - I could locate it and remote ring/wipe it.
This is one thing I wish was on the phone - iPhones you cant reactivate without an iCloud password even if you wipe it. This needs to exist through Google or Samsung.

Once you set up your Google account you can't use the phone without the account info after wiping. Well unless you use one of the hacks, but they get squashed as Google releases new versions.

So I guess it is just kinda there... only way to test it is to try to factory reset your phone without booting it.
Dang All I want to do is change my Sammy password and instructions TELL me to deactivate reactivation lock. Good thing these forums are here. Thought I was going nuts. Again. TY (S7):victory:
Due to my own experiences after having purchased many Galaxy devices, I've noticed, Samsung likes to hide toggles.. So I always put my own back in, with adb, or an app. For newer android devices, we need adb.
So on your Galaxy, go to settings>developer options, and enable USB debugging, and Stay awake. (If you don't see developer options, go into 'About phone', and tap on 'Build Number' 7+ times until achieved.
Plug your phone into your computer, and make sure it's drivers are installed and the phone is coming up properly.
Download the ADB files, on your PC, here in a .Zip or a Folder
Then, open up an Admin CMD, (if you don't know how, GOOGLE.) Then, open up the directory of the ADB folder in the cmd.
Example, on my computer, I left the folder in downloads, so I type into the cmd cd c:\users/Jae/downloads/platform-tools Example
Type adb devices into the cmd. (Make sure only one phone is attached) If you see your phone, (random looking numbers & letters) good. If it says 'unauthorized' check the phone and make sure tap allow, if you don't see anything.. detach it & reattach, and type in adb devices again. When it says 'device', you're good. Go to the next step.
Type adb shell and at this point, you should be looking like This.. If you do, copy and paste this settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Once it loads, copy what came up by highlighting like this, and then use ctrl+v . Yours will be/look different, depending on your toggles. Paste it into a text file, or whatever.
Then copy settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles and paste it in front of all of that, then put ' in front of the first toggle, and after the last toggle. Like this, 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth' < JUST AN EXAMPLE
This is where you add in your missing toggles, using only commas to separate, no spaces.. Most commonly desired MobileData. There's more, if wanted. So, for example, if you start with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth'
You should finish with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth,MobileData,WifiHotspot' or any order you like. (MAKE SURE NO SPACES IN BETWEEN ANY TOGGLES. ONLY COMMAS.)
Should be looking like THIS!! then, copy it so it looks just like in the last screenshot. Simply right click in the cmd, and hit enter..
If you get a syntax error, you did something wrong. Like leaving out the ' at the beginning, and ' at the end of the toggles, or spaces somewhere other than the command.
If you have no errors, check your Quick Toggles for the newly added ones. Should be there, no restart necessary or anything.
If successful, congrats. If not, I can help. Just ask. (don't ask about anything other than the topic, PLEASE..)
As of December 30th, 2019, this still works just fine. HOWEVER on newer android updates, 'MobileHotspot' has been renamed to JUST 'Hotspot' . So if you're not seeing the icon after applying this fix, this is probably why. Try with Hotspot instead of MobileHotspot.
Thanks for the solution, finally I added mobile data icon!

No problem! Glad this worked out for you.
Hey there! This worked great prior to the update I just did last week. I wanted to get the wifihotspot to be the first icon when i dropped the quick toggle menu down, instead of rifling through Settings, Connections, Mobile Hotspot and tethering, then finally able to switch it on. Now when I put wifihotspot in the command line you posted, it just stays at the default. It's as though they may have changed the name of the wifihotspot toggle to something else. Any idea? My phone is a S7, Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0, Baseband version G930W8VLU3CRE3. A lot more software info but hopefully that's enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I have the same problem with MobileData. Even though I add it to the list, the tile doesn't seem to appear...
Any idea on the new name if it even exist anymore?
So, would I be able to add the DeX software toggle thats on the galaxy tab s4? this would be the best.
Best answer all the times
I have been looking for this solution nearly a year! And thank you really, thank you too much. I m glad.
AWESOME! Added "HotSpot" to my Rogers Galaxy S8+ in Canada. Thanks so much!
Question
I have small question. Is there a way to stop asking "Turn off mobile data" question?
I mean for example mobile data on. And when you touch toggle it asks "Mobile Data unless.. bla bla do you want to turn off mobile data?" I just want to change it as without any question.
Thank you
I was able to add "Hotspot" toggle to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!
Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:
