Find my mobile, does it work for you? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys, just for curiosity I have tried the samsung service for locating, locking and wiping phones...
https://findmymobile.samsung.com/?p=home
but I cannot get to work in a stable manner...
At start I tought that was because of wi-fi or packed disabled, but later I realized that was none of this.
The only way that I have to get the web-server to connect my phone is to open manually the menu setting of "find my device".
If I have my phone sitting and locked down on desk there is no way to get it work...
Is it working for you?
thank you.
( I'm stock, all updated, all package enabled )

Yes it works for me.

Try contacting tech support they might have something for you to flash. And if they do, you should post the files and process here. Unfortunately without solid kernel, or recovery information there's little we can do.

Hopefully, cause I don´t want send it back
After chatting with Amazon, the problem wasn´t solved! But I looked a bit more on the Amazon Homepage and found where I can download the Software Update to 6.1:
Download Link
And here is the instruction:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620
I will try it now and report what happends!
I think you already have that don't you?
When I got my KF, it immediately before I did anything updated to that version.
Code:
Current Version 6.1_user_2017120
Yes I have the one but I´ll try to run the update again manuelly, or do you think t wont work?
Masterc, didn't you say in another thread that you are in Austria?
You should mention that here if it is the case as it might affect the responses you get.
Yes thats true, but Wifi worked before I downloaded and installed the update! It also showed my name... the Amazon support told me it should work abroad..
I tried to install the update again, but it didn´t solve the problem.
So after playing around a while, the network pops up (yeahh) but when I enter the (right) passwort it always shows:
Error in conncection
unable to connect to selected access point. Please check the password you have provided
the kindle found my hotspot from my galaxy note (without password) and it connected just one time for arround 10 seconds..
Now I can´t connect again... quite intressting
Hopefully it is not the hardware - but I don´t think so otherwise I couldn´t download the update.

No "Reactivation lock" option in "Find my phone"?

Hi all!
As of today I'm a proud owner of a new SM-928F unlocked S6 Edge+. All stock, not going to root or put a ROM on as I want to use KNOX, Samsung Pay, etc.
However, I cannot find where to set the reactivation lock? The option is missing and I have tried removing and re-adding the Samsung account. When you boot into Download mode there is no Reactivation lock flag either.
Searched everywhere, can't find the solution. Does anyone have any ideas please? Thanks.
Enable dev menu by typing 8 times on buildnumber in about device. Go to settings and menu at bottom is there. Dev options. There is oem unlock. Thats the reactivation lock

Sorry, I mean the reactivation lock where if the phone is factory reset or flashed you cannot use it without logging into the associated Google account, like with the Apple devices.
The OEM unlock is just to allow the unlocking of the bootloader for flashing purposes http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge-plus/help/oem-unlock-t3184879
The lock I am talking about should be within the "Find my mobile" settings as per the Samsung site here http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00038761/846737562/Y/
However it is missing..?
My sim free UK G928F is also missing the reactivation lock option in "find my mobile" Its good to know I'm not the only person with this issue.........if it is an issue
I believe you go to device administrators and enable it
Only Android Device Manager is in there and that's just the native Google functionality for remote lock/PIN change and tracking.
On Samsung, the reactivation option is separate, but nowhere to be found in this case.
Count me in! I have the 928T version and I don't have it either.

Same on mine anyone ever find where this setting is hidden?
your phone simple dont support it.
go to download mode..if you see
Reactivation Lock (KK) = your phones uses Samsung propriety (and ridiculously easy to bypass) lock. if you don't see this then your phone simply doesn't support it.
FRP Lock = means your phone uses Google's implementation of factory reset protection which is easily bypassed too.
helloo
i dont have it on my 928 XEF (S§ edge plus) but my wife have got it on s6 (920 xef)
what the **** ?
There is a solution for this here http://fleamerica.com/blog/91-technology/35-samsung-reactivation-lock-greyed-out

No Mobile Signal After Flashing 6.0.1

I've just tried to flash marshmallow but it didn't go so well, I had no service and the home button wouldn't work. After reverting I can't get any service anywhere, just emergency calls only / no service. When searching for networks 3 UK comes up but won't let me connect. It says 4G but I know it's 3G+. Any help greatly appreciated!
6.0.1 is only available as Custom OS at this time, best direct this question at the page where you found your Custom OS.
Start twrp connect to your pc.
Make sure you see your phone in Explorer.
Do a full whipe. (this will erase everything be aware)
Then copy a build of grarak or Seraph08 and copy gapps to your phone.
Or off course copy a full Ota of oos
Installed this many times and it never goes wrong.
If you flash a rom always read the topic if a modem flash is needed.
With grarak or Seraph08 this is included for CM.

Bypass Google account

Hey there guys hope you all are doing great, so basically my aunt had some problem with her mobile data, someone suggested her to hard reset the device so she youtubed it and successfully hard reset her device but UNFORTUNATELY, she doesn't remember the last email and the password she logged in the device with.
Could anyone of you please tell me how to sort it out so i can get some peace [emoji37]
She just cant stop asking me if it got fixed or not.

Search on Youtube, it worked for me !
I had this issue as well. I bought a used phone but it was FRP protected. The only way ourmt was calling up the guy and asking him to log in. FRP is present in place to prevent misuse. And while various YouTube videos will show you bypassing it, Samsung has been repeatedly patching it.
From what I can understand, a sure shot way would be to install a different ROM on it. However with no custom recovery, maybe that's a wee bit more difficult. You could try to use Odin to re-flash a stock ROM. Let us know if this works.

Sm-g955f flashing help

For reference, I work for a company that buys phones in bulk with various problems from online retailers amongst other providers so I have obtained these devices legally. My job is to repair/unlock/refurbish etc.
Today I've been working on two trouble devices that I would like to learn more about so I can unlock them in the future. One is the SM-g955F and the SM-G955FD. Flashed the combination rom no issues, did my normal frp bypass method with the frp unlocker provided by hardreset, but when I flashed the factory firmware, both devices were met with an error that asked me to connect them to smart switch for emergency software recovery. I've already tried to use smart switch but smart switch doesn't recognize the device. These devices are still capable of being flashed with other firmware but they stop right at the end of flashing with the error. I'm using Odin3B patched/modded v3.14.1
Any ideas or resources I could check out?
