thanks for the useful links as always doctor

Samsung dive is useful. But if your serious about security. Than there is no better than cerberus. It has some awesome features. Like record video or audio when you have lost your phone. From memory you get a 7 or 14 day trial. Worth doing to view the features.
I have tasker put a pin code on when I exit home or work wifi. When pin code is entered incorrectly cerberus takes photo and emails.

yes cerberus is feature rich and i am also having it. But this is for ppl who can't use google play to purchase.
Another benifit of using samsung service
-You can unlock screen locked with password
-Call/SMS forward
Major drawback of samsung service
It won't be helpful if data is wiped, in case of cerberus, if you have pushed cerberus to System ROM, it still remain protected from wiping

looks nice.. but will this murder you battery like some of the other location based services? I noticed most of my partial wakelocks were caused by Maps or related location services.

I don't have observed any ill effect on battery as this is on demand service, activate location service only when you track device.

AFAIK it is available for selected countries, if your country is not supported you will find msg while logging in to web page.

Unfortunately It doesn't seem to work on Paranoid rom.
No remote control options in the settings then
I guess it is a part of touchwiz. Can anyone confirm?

Have you entered credentials on device, setting - security - remote control
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Yes i do what. To find the device works but the other thing!

Does anyone tried what happens after wiping phone from samsung dive? will we be able to track phone after that?
I think erasing phone is the first thing to do after losing it.(even if you need to steal another phone to use it's internet connection )

I didn't know about this.. working great. way to go sammy!

Ok, I tried that out. But one question, how can I turn it off again ??? Now that tracker icon comes up in the status bar. There is no disabling of that feature that I can see. Or what is it ?

S7 Edge Private Mode?

Any of you guys that are already in possession of the phone, is Samsung's Private Mode no longer availabe? I tried messing with it at Best Buy and could not find the option. Thanks in advance.

Not particularly sure but I believe it's only available when security is set on the device?
A display model will therefore not have security set and so will not have P-Mode enabled?

Don't know if you asking for this thing but i found something like that in setting under privacy and safety

yes that is it, must be what delboyd12 mentioned. great to see it's still there.

I don't know if it's about phone I tried (I have used demo phones in Samsung Store) but it sucks that Private Mode shortcut isn't in notifications menu anymore. It was very practical to use it that way in S5 and S6. I couldn't even find a way to edit menu and add it notifications menu.

You mean the browser private mode ? I used it at a store when I logged in to my Gmail and uploaded some pictures from the displayed S7 Edge to my account, so yes it is available (but it's something called "Secret" or so).

No, it's different than browsers. You can hide pics in that mode:
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/skp/faq/1062652

I received the phone last week as a pre-order through T-Mobile. My S7 Edge has Privacy Mode for hiding any files on the phone that you want behind a password or pin. I'm trying to figure out how to move them to the SD card at the moment.

does the private mode be moved to the SD Card? or do i need to install an app like hide it pro?

Guys, relax...the private mode is there. But in the store you have a stripped down ''Store version" of the software.
Do not know about moving on to SD card.

No. Private Mode creates a hidden partition on your internal storage. It won't be movable to the SD card.
In the Gallery app select the photos/videos you want to make private and then tap on the MORE button and move to private. It will ask for your fingerprint or PIN to make the move. If you want to view the content later you select Private Mode from the notification bar, do a two finger drag down from the top and you will see the icon.
.

Did you able to turn on private mode wiht fingerprint? I could do that in S5 and S6 but I couldn't choose this in S7. If it's avaible for you, I will check stopped apps in Package Disabler Pro I did it when I cheched today, it was in menu now

Can anyone help me please.. desperate... I've forgotten my pin to private mode on S7 Edge... is there anyway to get this back. Samsung suggest a factory reset.. if I back up my phone.. will everything in private mode be backed up too? and also.. if that part is successful, will I be able to access the files after I restore? or will they be encrypted still?

Start Up Android Password - Encryption Option is Missing? - Part2

Hi there
so I should not have asked this as a Q/A thread. I was hoping with the update they may have fixed the issue but no such joy. Hopefully someone has a work around or a fix:
I have been looking for a replacement for my Moto X Pure (because I am idiot and lost it). I liked the specs and the price of the Axon7 (having an support for an external SSD won me over vrs One Plus). Anyways I should have checked here first as there is a serious limitation for my use case. I use my phone for my work. Due to the way the work policies were setup we have to enable the password for Android start up. And as some of us have found out the hard ware that option is NOT supported with the current OS on the phone. From what I have read the phone is pre-encrypted so this option was removed.
My question (I know finally) was is there any way to get the start Android password working? I heard something about the un-locked boot loader but not sure if that is the ticket. I am not sure why the folks at ZTE removed that feature/option. Without getting this option re-enabled I have no choice but to send this phone back (take advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee) and look for something else... other than that I really like this phone! As always thank you XDA members!

Here is what I am seeing:

But when you try to touch to change the setting, it takes you to the area where you set/reset your screen lock password. And you get stuck in that loop.

From all I have seen, the startup password protection is not present on the ZTE rom. You can hit up the official forum mods for an answer, give them the app that is causing this so it can be verified. There are instances where people were prompted for password on startup after installing and wiping in TWRP. This is most likely the Android Device Manager suspicious behavior protection based on wording of the prompt
http://en.miui.com/thread-324522-1-1.html But i don't think this can be made a permanent prompt

peramikic
thanks for the info. I ended up calling ZTE tech support on this issue. And after some digging they came back to me with "this is a know issue and we are working on it with no ETA yet" reply. So hopefully that will get some traction. The personal question is do I want to wait for them to fix it? Or should I return and get something else to support the cooperate work needs. But that is more of a personal question I have to answer... Thank you again!

Same problem here - I would buy this device but work requires the PIN (and no root) so currently not able to purchase. This and the lack of T-Mobile Wifi calling in current builds are the big blockers for me. I don't have trust to purchase until both are addressed. Hopefully that is soon as the new Google "Pixel" phones next week (despite the higher likely cost) are the alternative option to me right now.

This is far fetched, but some removed settings like screen on time are accessible through custom launcher activities like SOT. Maybe worth a shot?

Use ampere for play store for app usage.

Can anyone with a device confirm if that app provides access to the settings and this works?

Best Privacy Features on the OPPO Find X5 Pro

With Android's open-source nature, it is not difficult for an app to sneak something malicious into your phone, in an attempt to violate your privacy or steal your data. Smartphones contain some of the most sensitive personal data that we have, so it's important that all companies are constantly responding to privacy concerns. With the latest few releases of ColorOS, OPPO has made privacy a big priority. Now with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, you have more control than ever, over your privacy features.
The latest update for ColorOS is ColorOS 12.1, based on Android 12. Users can expect to find features like the Privacy Dashboard, microphone and camera indicators, and Smart notification hiding. These are some of the best privacy features that you should check out on the OPPO Find X5 Pro.
Smart Notification Hiding​Smart notification hiding is a smart feature that prevents the people around you from snooping into the notifications on your phone. Whenever you receive a notification on your lock screen, the contents of the notification will be hidden till the time the phone detects that it’s you who is looking at the phone. In simple terms, the phone scans for your face and displays the contents of the notifications only if the correct face is detected. If someone else’s face is detected, the phone will hide the notifications. It’s quite an effective and smart way to protect users’ privacy.

}
System Cloner​One stand-out feature that’s been around for a while on ColorOS is the system cloner. This feature creates a dual system or a secondary space on your phone that can be accessed with a separate password. You can even assign a different fingerprint to quickly get into the cloned space directly from the lock screen. This has been a good solution for anyone who leaves their phone unattended or often shares their phone with other people.
Private Safe​OPPO developed Private Safe as an option for you to store your private files. When you add images, videos, audio, or other types of files to your private space, they will only be accessible via a password. This makes your files unavailable to applications that read your media.
Privacy Dashboard​Stay informed about what apps are using your sensitive permission with Privacy Dashboard. At a glance, you can see what permission is being used the most in the past 24 hours. You can select a permission to see exactly which apps are using them, and at what times.
Camera and Microphone Access​The worst privacy breach would likely involve an app accessing your camera and microphone with malicious intent. If you're someone that worries about your camera and mic being used by unknown parties, simply toggle them off in the privacy menu. This will disable these sensors across your system. If you try to use your camera, a notification will remind you to toggle your camera access back on before you can use it.
How have you been using the privacy features on your OPPO Find X5 Pro? Let me know in the comments.

yes, I do.
It means you have to display a popup before going to system permission screen. On that popup, you describe why your app need that permission, and how to enable it. And if user press OK on that popup, you can direct to permission screen.
You can install my app and see how I did it.
