Google Settings - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi,
After I updated my S7Edge to stock UK Nougat I recently saw that whenever I want to enter Google Settings it prompts me to select a profile. I don't remember asking me this in the past.
Is it only me or you got the same thing asking..?
Many thanks!
PS. Still waiting for Google Assistant.

Hm, my friend had same exact thing going on, he managed to fix this, i will ask him how did he do, in few hours, of course i hope someone will answer you faster

Thanks

Anyone?

Yeah. Samen here. I think there is a way to set more then one account in Nougat and thats why you will have to chose everytime wich account you want for the settings. Don 't mind really

Ok ... Good to know

Samsung dive

Okay I registered my note with Samsung and tried out the Samsung dive app, I tried the ring phone, track phone and so on, but after trying out the unlock screen feature, now everyone I check for software updates on my note, I get no updates available very quickly followed by a statusbar notification telling me my screen lock has been reset to default by Samsung dive. I have tried logging out of my Samsung account, I have even deleted the Samsung account app from my phone, I have unticked the remote feature in settings, but it still does the same thing when I check for updates, as I have the unlocked international version so therefore waiting for ics to be made available for my note.
Anyone else tried Samsung dive and having the same issues, or am I missing something to turn this off.
It is now becoming very annoying constantly doing this, but it does only seem to do this when checking for updates.
I don't want to do a factory reset as I don't know if that will even cure this, and then still have this notification but having to start over again setting up my phone when I have it just how I want it.
Any advice is most welcome.
Same issue here, I agree, It is annoying! Any help would be appreciated.
I installed AVG Antivirus Pro, which Samsung was giving away for free for a limited time in my country.
Works great.
Back on subject. Have you tried resetting the app via Applications in Settings? Might fix your issue. If not a factory rest will probably do it!
I'm having the exact same issue here. Does anyone have a solution to this?
I hopefully seemed to have solved the issue. I had the exact same issue. I logged onto the samsung dive website and chose the option to 'Lock My Mobile' and entered a pin. Now on the phone I unlocked my phone with the PIN previously set on the samsung dive website. After this the problem seems to have disappeared.
Hope this works for you all

Hi Meethere

I had the exact same issue. Just go to Settings>applications> and select software update and clear its data and reboot. It should be fine now.

I can't believe it. I even called Samsung Customer Services regarding the issue and their response was that my mobile isn't compatible with my country (Canada). I did what you advised and I'm tracking my phone now on Samsung Dive!! Who thought it could be such a simple solution. THANK YOU!

I can't find the Samsung dive application... Any one knows where to get it? Or a link perhaps?

Samsung Dive is a website. In the event you lose your phone you are able to track it. Just login to you samsung account on your phone under setting>accounts and after that you can go online to track your phone.

[Q] Since ICS upgrade can't sign into Samsung Dive!

Hi Guys
I have searched the forums but cannot find anyone else with this problem but ever since the OTA update to ICS I cannot click the sign in or sign up buttons for the Samsung Apps store to register my device? Anyone else had this problem, the button simulate being pressed but nothing happens..
I have already stopped samsugn apps and sync, flushed the cache and restarted in the hopes this would kick start it including turning the phone on and off mutliple times but I cannot get past the sign in screen, please help! I already lost one Note and had to buy this one because of it so I want to register it before I lose it again.
Thanks!
Same problem please help?

Had the same after deleting my samsung account from the phone, because every time it wanted me to log when i was checking samsung store, thought it was a problem with the account, but even few hard resets/factory reset/full wipes same. For me the solution was to reset the phone. But before that think about the brick issue on ics and if you can get it fixed if you get bricked. Try changing languages before anything else.

whats the best way to carry out the changing languages option?
I had a problem with login in the Samsung app. Solved it by logging on the Samsung apps website first and then I could login in the app.
Try that, maybe you can make it work that way.

thanks already tried that i can log in fine on the samsung website even can create a new user name...
guys the problem is very clear when you try to 'press' the sign in or sign up buttons they appear indented as though they pick your gesture but nothing happens, there is no dialogue box that appears to enable you to type in your username or address, its definately a phone issue and it only happened after the ota ICS update
Guys have the same problem after ics update in my SGnote.not able to sign in samsung acount. Hope we get some update from samsung to fix this issue...regards
i have the same problem on my Galaxy Note. logged in using my friends S3 it logs in fine.Its definitely a Phone issue with ICS.i hope samsung resolve it soon.

s finder not working

Hi guys.
I can't get any results when searching with S Finder. I have checked in settings and all options are ticked. To consider this includes chrome being ticked, the minimum i should be getting back is Internet results. I have even made sure to create an S Note that should return results.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
anyone have any ideas on this?
thanks
I was hoping that someone would have at least a thought on thus.
I have tried wiping the data in the s finder app but still no good.
I booted into safe mode and it worked on about 5-6 searches. After i rebooted into normal mode it worked for about 3-4 searches so I thought it was sorted. The next time I came back into the app and searched again, no good it just carried on searching and not returning any results.

Same problem here. My s finder works only one time after having rebooted.
I was in a shop where they displayed the note 3 and over there s finder worked perfect.
What am I doing wrong?

Exactly same problem... I even did a factory reset and flashed again the rom (official) to correct it. It did, but when I let the apps download again from the play store, same problem reappeared. I don't get it, I even blocked apps like greenify from redownloading because I thought it could have something to do, no result. Further I didn't touch the rom, didn't inactivate any mother-apps. I would appreciate any ideas. It seems that some app is interfering with s finder...
Problem is solved but do not ask me why.
Tried a lot of s finder settings.
I remember that I changed categories quite a lot. Give it a try. Also change filter settings etc.

It's the PayPal app. At least that's what did it for me.
Spent an hour on the phone with Samsung tech support and they eventually told me to reset my phone to factory settings. I was very angry because I just bought this phone yesterday and spent the whole day setting it up to how I like it, and now I had to reset it.
After reset, it worked just fine. So I went through the app store and downloaded all the apps I use.... And then it started glitching exactly like the Op said. So I uninstalled app after app until it worked... And PayPal was the last app to go. So to test it, I reinstalled PayPal and kept it checked in S Finder's search settings, and voila, it glitched. So I unchecked it, restarted my phone, and now S Finder works just fine.
Let me know if this helped anyone. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to fix this issue, and it would be nice to know if it helped anyone. If anyone knows of any other app that freezes S Finder, post it here. Samsung needs to fix this
Btw, sorry for bumping an old thread. No one had a solution, so I'm just trying to help people out.

Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Myself I had factory reset the device a couple of times already because of other malfunctions and battery drain, therefore when I found this problem I couldn't go through the same process again. I knew it must have been an app because when I initially turned on my device, before restoring the apps, the search function was working ok. I also contacted the samsung helpdesk who didnt have a clue, they suggested a factory reset and one by one app installation (thanks, I could think so far by myself!).
Now, after uninstalling the Paypal app, search function works perfect, no problems what so ever. Thank you very very much again!!!

How to bypass Google verification on Zte Axon 7?

I've tried many ways on YouTube none have worked. I found out a way to get on the Android launcher but when I try to factory reset it doesn't let me.
Generic solution to frp is to access browser no matter which one. Except for samsung phones and not all of them but a few. Accessing browser you need to download two apps. One is quickshortcutmaker and second is to download old google manager for log in but it need to be web log in. There is ton of videos out there. The reason you want web log in is so you can add additional account to that device. The rest is history.

I know about this one. Some Samsung phones have issues with this when u change password. It takes forever. U need to access share button in beginning of verification. Share button either name share or 3 dots or 2 dots connected. Try every single app choice u get. Apps itself is not the reason but web browser is. There are some apps which lets you share further. And there you will find browser icon. Try weshare!!!!!!
I never tried this on Axon 7 but i assume its similar to Lenovo A series with their own copy whole phone type of app. It lets you enter browser in that app. I assume that weshare is behaving in same matter.
The order is like this
You have google log in screen. Either you try there on log in or you try while accessing wifi. There is always some hyperlinks there like help, feedback, policy, security etc etc. When ever there is hyperlink then there is couple of options. Then you need to access copy paste by holding marked letters to access share or open in browser etc etc. From there is easy if you can access web browser. Follow youtube for rest.
The only time screw up messes "everything" and there is "nothing " you can do then wait is when you delete iphone from your own icloud so you dont have icloud on actuall device and then want to change password on pc while two step verification is active. That is a nightmare. It cant take up to a month before apple makes it done.

Actually no it hasn't been 3 days I remembered I reseted my device from powering it off when I was trying to fix it so that would mean that the time would reset meaning I have to wait 2 days more to see if it will disappear. How long ago was this for you?

It was 48 hours for me exactly when it was fixed. Usually I heard it takes at least 72 hours to get cleared up.

I typically used their voice unlock to get in the settings or using the keyboard on the setup to get in settings, went to backup and account, pressed factory reset and it didn't work. I waited 48 hrs, then it let me sign in.

Hey don't know if you have seen this but I would try to use this app. I haven't had to FRP unlock a Axon7, but I have had a bit of experience in taking FRP off of phones along with many other fixes. If you can get to chrome or whatever browser and download and install this then it should work. I have used this on a ZTE ZMax Pro, so I would imagine it would work here unless they patched it. Anyway, good luck and let me know if you need more help.

Hmm... Well as I have not needed to FRP reset my Axon I can't really tell you exactly what to do. All I know is that method works on some and not others. Really what you are trying to do, especially if you can use the web login like someone else mentioned, is add a Google account that you remember how to login too. Then when you factory reset you should be good. If that doesn't work I say either try to reset the password or whatever Google account is on there, or maybe EDL mode programs which I haven't done much with. I'll keep looking for another way.
Edit: btw the web login you can try to use would be with the com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk 1.17MB on the same site I last linked. That along with maybe one of the other Google account managers that are listed there. Good luck!

Samsung s8 screenlock bypass

Hi. New on here. Well my first post anyway.
I've a friend who has a little issue.
She changed her screenlock late at night one night and forgot it in the morning.
She dosent know what Gmail account she had used on it. And we tried finding it on all the ones she could think of.
She does not have a Samsung account either. We have explored what we could with available software to bypass the lock screen. To no avail. It's available for other models but not the s8.
The only way we could find is by resetting the phone. But she does not want to loose her pictures.
Is there anything that can be done.
I work in IT so can follow instructions if anyone has any?
Thanks in advance
