find my mobile? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a VZW note 5 and I don't have the find my mobile option in settings, was this excluded for VZW or am I missing something on my phone?
Thanks!

the reviews on that app aren't very good, I've watched a couple of Note 5 tips and tricks youtube videos and it seems to be baked in on some devices. I think both videos used AT&T phones, so maybe that's it?

I think it's pretty good and easyu to use. Just install the app and login into Google account. If you lose your phone, login to your Google account and type find my phone. That's all. Simple.

i've been using that app for a while now. it's no longer even a matter of it ever updating my current device anymore - it has never shown the correct device at all. you're better off going to the webpage version.

Find my Mobile's pretty cool and I used it on my international devices for years when there was no ADM. Surprisingly, AT&T didn't maim it. It's easy to use and manage across multiple devices and is both fast and accurate even on "GPS only." Here's what it can do.

I have Find My Mobile, but I don't have reactivation lock...and that sucks as it was a pain to bypass

So I guess it's a per carrier or per market thing. I'll give ADM a try.

It very well might be. A few years ago Rogers had their own location system just like findmymobile, they did take out the native location system on their phone until they decided to discontinue their service and put the option back in.

tried cerberus? pretty good stuff there also

I've had Cerberus for years. But its very easy to get around if you know what it is and what it does. I always used it in tandem with Samsung's security. Samsung has the option to render the power button useless...you cannot turn off the phone unless you remove battery or let the phone drain. Battery removal wise, can't do it with my last 2 phones (s6 and note 5), so if somebody stole my phone I could have easily locked it and used Cerberus to spy on the thief and had a few hours to find him. Now, if anybody steals my phone all he has to do is vol down + home + power until phone turns off and flash with odin, then wipe in recovery. At least with reactivation lock my phone would have been a paper weight

Hey guys
I just published my first serious app on the android market and would like to give some of you the opportunity to test it for free. edit: sorry, i cant give away any more test licenses. but i released a trial app, so everyone can now test it for free
The app is called Delayed Lock and simply delays the activation of the secure lockscreen for a user definied amount of time or while connected to WiFi/Bluetooth. You can choose to start the activation timer whether on the last successful unlock or on display off time and immediately reenable the lockscreen through a notification in the status bar or a widget.
Main Features:
Delayes the requirement to enter pattern/PIN/password again after succesfully unlocked once
No lockscreen while connected to certain WiFi network or Bluetooth devices
Time delay since "Screen off" or since "Last unlock"
Quickly re-enable the lock through the Android notification bar or a widget
Widgets & Shortcuts: Toggle Lock, Screen off, Screen off & Lock, Enable / Disable DelayedLock
Free plugins: Disable lockscreen while at certain locations or use the Tasker app to control the lockscreen
automatically wipe the device after several failed unlocks
auto disable USB-debugging on rooted devices (on 4.0 - 4.2.1, not necessary on 4.2.2+)
FAQ:
Here: http://j4velin-systems.de/faq/index.php?app=dl
General limitations:
Does not work if your Exchange policy requires a PIN! (might work if your device is rooted though)
Pattern lock & FaceUnlock require root on Android 4.0+
Does not work on all devices, see section Device incompatibility
Requires root if full device encryption is enabled
Incompatible with NoLED, No Lock & some other apps
Please use the "Uninstall" option from within the app to uninstall it
Device incompatibility:
Some HTC devices: Pattern lock might not work
Some Samung devices: Notification bar might be accessable even in locked state
Samsung Galaxy S5: User reported that after 3 days, the device does not accept the PIN/password any more. Make sure you enable the "Android Device Manager" to remotely change your password in case this happens! Also try to disable the fingerprint feature before setting up Delayed Lock
Plugins:
Location Plugin: Locks when leaving certain locations
RemoteLock Plugin: Locks the device when receiving a SMS containing a defined keyword

I can't find it on the Market...Is it only for 2.2 Android?
oh yeah i forgot to mention that it requires at least Android 2.2 at the moment.
but I'm also beta testing the same app but for older Android versions, so if you would like to try that I'll pm you the apk
Damn... Is it possible to make it work with 2.1???
The app the QR code points to is a paid app. There is no free version.
just pm me your gmail address so i can send you the apk and enable a test license. i will also release a free/trial version, but i havent thought about the restrictions yet
Thanks, but it is not because of the half buck you want for your app, it is not even about commercial apps - I have no problems with them.
But I will have problems with this forum if it (or parts of it) turns into a support forum for commercial apps. And your app qualifies as commercial, since, as things stand now, it is not available in another form.
oh I'm sorry, it didnt want to violate the board rules. i was just looking for some guys who would like to help me test my app on more acutal devices (emulator kinda sucks on lockscreen stuff) and didnt know where to find them except here ^^
i dont think i'm able to delete the thread, but if a moderator reads this...
Yes, one of the prerequisites for having a thread here is that there must be at least a free/crippled version for the members to test. Having a sorely paid or individually selected sent app is not allowed iirc.
im willing to test on my mytouch4g running 2.2.1
Really annoying how the trial version displays that screen after unlocking. But it did get me to buy the app Good price too.
yeah, that was my intention
it's the lowest possible price in the market, hope to get my registration fee back that way ^^
J4velin -
Thanks. I'm actually trying to import my Pathfinder RPG books into Alkindo and of course my screen timed out. Luckily, I'd already installed DelayedLocker and BLAM! no having to swipe the screen unlocker or type in my pin.
I'm on a TrulyEpicRebirth 1.5 with Theme 1.7 - and it works nicely.
This is better in the longer term regarding time than NoLock, as that completely removes the lock swipe (not sure if that app also works with the password/pin). Something that allows me to quickly re-require the swipe/password and auto re-lock would be nice (especially something that could fit in my GoLauncher [or other home program] dock).
well, to quickly reactivate the lockscreen you can click on the notification in the status bar or use the widget in the paid version.
a shortcut for the launcher docks is also a good idea, i will keep that in mind
Has anyone else had trouble uninstalling the free version of this program? That screen after unlocking my phone is rather annoying and every time I try to uninstall it, it fails.
just read the app description in the market, the text under 'Revoke locking permission' in the settings or the 'FAQ' in the first post here:

You have to revoke the locking permissions first. Therefore go to the android security settings and tap 'select device administrators'

i just changes some stuff in the app and it should now be compatible down to android 1.5.
therefore i need some testers with a device running an android version lower than 2.2. pm me your gmail address if you're interested
Hi there,
I've just sent you an e-mail about the 1.1 version and WidgetLocker.
Regards,
Steve
Hi, I'm excitedly trying the app as I've ben waiting for this ever since Froyo destroyed my previous solution.
Is it possible to distinguish between the pattern lock screen and the swipe-to-unlock screen. Personally I like the swipe to unlock to protect me from accidental power ons (and I have trackpad to unlock to make it even easier). However, I want to extend the time before the lock pattern comes on from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Your app seems to elimiante both locks screens in that period.
I also personally like the swipe to unlock.
I can small problem with Cyberion Voice Dial, can't dial voice when phone is locked, can you make option to switch lock off when paired BT device is connected?

Tasker Profile - In Car Use

I recently picked up Tasker, and so am trying to figure my way around how to use it for my in-car install. However, I can't seem to figure out, what is probably the most important piece, getting the screen to switch off / airplane mode to switch on when I remove power. I have installed Secure Settings plug in, but everything I have tried so far to get the screen to switch off has failed. I am sure I am missing something simple here.
Also, is there a way to have Tasker kill all open apps, instead of having to individually list apps?
Thanks.
Edit: Should have put this in the apps section.
Edit Again: Figured out the screen switching off, System Lock did the trick. For some reason it is not killing open apps though when the power is removed.
New profile>name it whatever>State Context>Hardware>Usb Plugged>Invert
New task>name it whatever>hit the "+" button>app>kill app>specifiy app (you'll have to do this for every single app).
alternatively, you could do:
new task>name it whatever>hit the "+" button>script>run shell> type a command that kills all apps, and check "use root". i dont know what command can be used to kill all apps though, lol, so...

Exit task. And what you want is Display->Lock to switch off the screen. As for Airplane mode, I believe that does require Secure Settings to toggle, but that should be pretty easy. Assuming you're rooted and the Secure Settings Helper is installed (see its app) directly.

This is dumb. That's all I'm going to say about this subject.
Thanks for the replies, I am rooted and do have Secure Settings installed, I will have to look into Airplane mode some more as I don't see it listed under the Secure Settings addon.
Is there a good guide anywhere for Tasker? I tried via their site, but most of the links were dead. When I connect power to the Nexus, Bluetooth comes on, but I also want it to use my phone for internet access (Settings -> Bluetooth - Paired Devices - Use for internet access). It seems like everytime Bluetooth goes off, that box becomes unchecked, and currently I hvae to manually go in and check it again. I am guessing I need a script to do that, but I have no clue how to write a script to do so, and can't find much by the way of help / tutorials (I admit though, I am at work, and have not spent a huge amount of time searching).

Tasker google groups is the place to go.
Make 2 profiles, 1 for power on 1 for power off. Open secure setting,the option is there to install helper.Then when you set new task select plugins,then secure setting that will appear now that helper is installed.Airplane mode is there.As for screen on and off, set screen off 23 hours 59 mins under power on profile , set screen off 7secs(minimum) under power off.
The other 2 profiles are timed according to daylight so the brightness decreases at night increases in the day.I wouldnt use the kill app function it doesnt play nicely and causes some crashing issues at shutdown thats why mine are disabled.

Disable data roaming pop-up

I often work in a building where my phone ends up roaming, which is fine with me, except that I keep getting the stupid data roaming warning. I can't seem to disable it, because the options are check and greyed out in the data roaming guard menu.

Change the Network type back to "LTE/CDMA" from "Automatic".
EDIT: After checking, I can't find any combination of options that disables these options.
That's strange that those are grayed out like that. Even with them unchecked I still get the pop-up on my phone though.

Roaming guard fix
Hello.
I am not a developer but I have a solution to roaming guards if you have root. I am a very tech savvy person and usually modify all my phone's on my on.
Here we go and I am not responsible for anything that could go wrong. Don't worry this is fairly simple computer programming.
1. Make sure you have root.
2. Download SQLite editor from the play store.
3. Open SQLite editor and go to the root of your phone.
4. Open data/data/com.android.providers.settings
5. Open Setting.db and select secure.
6. Scroll down to line 117 and highlight data_roaming_guards_blocked and hit the pencil to edit.
7. Change wording to data_roaming_guards_allowed and save.
8. Scroll to line 122 and highlight voice_roaming_guard_blocked and hit pencil to edit.
9. Change wording to voice_roaming_guard_allowed and save.
10. There is no need to reboot just go directly to settings, mobile data and roaming guards. You should be able to select and deselect.
I hope this works for you and if it does let's put it out there. Lots of people have this problem and it took me several days to figure this out

I am rooted, so I paid for the SQLite application and tried your suggestion. My lines numbers were slightly different, but I found the entries and made the modifications. It allowed me to disable the options! I am not currently in a roaming area, as I was over the weekend, so I cannot currently ensure it disables the prompts. However, the options are now clickable...and now unchecked for me! Thank you!
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. Let me know if you have any problems.

I also found out you can leave the name the same "_blocked", and then you only have to delete the value "domestic,international" from both entries. You have to restart the phone, but then that tells the system there is nothing to block. I have since went back and left the name entries as they were at default, but removed the values so they are blank.
Again, I appreciate your post as it was extremely helpful!

Roaming guard fix
See Roaming guard fix at the bottom of page 1.
I have the same issue as above, the options are greyed out. I have pulled the settings.db file, but the lines mentioned above are not present. This is Lollipop 5.1.1 on Boost Mobile. I'm attaching the settings.db file which has been exported to csv then converted to xls for attachment purposes (csv attachments aren't allowed?). I would be grateful for any help deciphering this to determine which lines to edit or possibly just flipping the 1/0 switch to enable the options to turn roaming guard on/off. Thanks.
Anyone with experience with these databases? Thanks.
Ok, I can't recommend trying to edit the database on Boost Mobile's LG G Stylo Lollipop 5.1.1. At least not with asqlite manager. I did earlier today, I edited line 124 rguard_domestic_data which was set to 1 or on. I changed it to 0 or off, the phone immediately rebooted and went into a boot loop. I'm not sure if the app changed the permissions of the database or if that particular option just shouldn't be changed, but I had to factory reset and set everything back up from scratch. I was able to get to recovery where I cleared cache, then wiped data and reset. The phone is operational now and I did not have to root it again, but it was quite a pain setting everything back up again as I had quite a few customizations. Perhaps there's a better app for the job or a way to edit and restore the original permissions?

[GUIDE][Difficulty: Beginner] Enable 'Smart Lock' on Bluetooth LE devices

Android 5.0 Lollipop added the ability to keep your device unlocked so long as you stay connected to a trusted bluetooth device. Dubbed "Smart Lock", the feature is quite useful if you own a smart wearable that you keep on you at all times. However, Smart Lock is unavailable for devices that connect to your phone via Bluetooth Low Energy. Some manufacturers offer the ability to simulate Smart Lock through keeping their app on in the background (such as Xiaomi's Mi Band and the Mi Fit app), but others do not.
If you, for instance, own a basic Fitbit or one of the new Honor Z1 bands among others, then you'll be able to keep your phone unlocked so long as your wearable is in range of your phone by following this Tasker guide.
Prerequisites
Secure Settings plug-in
Bluetooth 4.0 LE enabled device
A Bluetooth LE Scanner app
Instructions
Ensure that Secure Settings is set as a Device Administrator by opening the app and going to the Preferences screen. This is so the plugin has the ability to enable/disable the lockscreen.
Bring your phone and your device close together. Open the BLE Scanner app you downloaded above, and press SCAN.
Write down the MAC ID of the device that shows up at the top of the list. This should be the address of the Fitbit or other wearable, in case the name doesn't properly populate.
Click + to create a new Profile and name it "Watch Near" or anything else you want.
Select the State context, then select "BT Near" under "Net."
Once you're in the BT Near setting, type in the Bluetooth Address that you wrote down earlier under "Address." Additionally, select "Low-Energy (LE) Devices" and "Unpaired Devices". Leave everything else unchecked and/or default.
Press the back key to save and exit the context setup.
Tasker will now ask you to set up a new task associated with this context. Click on "New Task" and optionally give the task a name. Before we move on, here's a picture of what the context screen should look like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now that you've got the context set-up, we're going to make a simple entry and exit task to correspond to when your phone connects/disconnects to your smart wearable.
Plugin --> Secure Settings. Under the Dev Admin Actions dropdown, select Password/Pin. Make sure that the box is set as "DISABLED" and that Device Admin Enabled is checked. Press the save icon up top to exit, then press the back key once you're back in Tasker.
Press back once more to exit the task creation. Now expand the Profile you just created by tapping on its name. Long-press on the Task that launches, the select "Add Exit Task."
Within this new task, you're going to do the opposite of what you did above. Plugin --> Secure Settings. Select Password/Pin under Dev Admin Actions again, but this time change the box to "ENABLED" and set up the password or pin code that you desire. Exit out all the way after you're done.
That's it! Your phone should now automatically disable the pin/password when your bluetooth device is in range, otherwise it will re-enabled it. You can expand the power of this task by adding some alerts for when your device and phone disconnects, the choice is up to you!
Does it work only with bt le?

Smart Lock already works with regular bluetooth devices out of the box, so I wouldn't recommend using Tasker for that. But yes, if you put in the Bluetooth MAC ID into Tasker it will work the same way.
Does not work with my meizu pro5 and Xiaomi mi band 1s (Android 5.1.1)
Still I need to put my finger on finger scanner or putting the pin code to unlock the device
Will it break the device protection and the encryption
This is great thanks, I am using this with a cheap Bluetooth tracker keyring I got from eBay for 99p.
Edit
I need to test this a little more with the tag. The tag seems to power its self off which means it doesn't then trigger BT Near.
Where is the Secure Settings plug-in? There is an app of that name, by intangibleObject - is that what you mean?

The Secure Settings Plugin is in an app called "Tasker".
However, having setup this instructions it seems to me that Secure Settings or TAsker never triggers a lockscreen/password protection to be active. What is your default state ? OS Version ? Do you have any initial password options enabled ?

Ah, thanks - I have Tasker, but didn't realise what the OP meant.

I haven't had time to try it yet - I am on Marshmallow and have a BT LE step counter to test it with, when I have a chance.
Please Do. It works but somehow Timing of tasker to Check connection is not really good
This can be accomplished using the delayed lock app in conjunction with the Tasker plugin without having to use secure settings

Question Anyone Else Missing VoLTE Toggle?

It used to be under Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks. Like in the picture below, but now it's nowhere to be found. How do I turn off VoLTE now?

Hidden phone settings probably.
This might work for that model...

Code didn't work. What worked, though, is this Samsung Band Selection app from the Play Store. There's a VoLTE toggle accessible through that app. I wonder what Samsung is thinking, removing this very basic option for us.

They changed the code. An oversight probably, but who knows? Sammy's been forgetting all kinds of important things lately.

And where the fk is my up to 1tb of expandable storage?
Sorry Sammy but ball dropping isn't a desirable skillset...

It's been removed by Samsung. I remember having it when i got the phone. Then an update (Android 11, not 12) removed the option altogether. There is currently no user facing method of toggling VoLTE, at least in India, where I'm from. It's just on by default. Don't know why this was done, but that's the way it is. Maybe with root app or some adb method, you may be able to access the setting. But for now I'm not aware of any regular method to do so
Huh...I don't what I'm missing here but I have this option...
On my S21U (998B) it it still there in A12, but it is called "call via 4G" (my translation of 'bellen via 4G') which is the same as VoLTE.
Not having the the VoLTE selection function could also be a CSC-thing...

You can actually access the toggle with a non-root app called Samsung Band Selection - it's in the Play Store.
I am facing the same problem —VoLTE toggle disappeared from settings (Nokia 6.1) since I changed sim Airtel to VI. Nokia 6.1 has Android 10 and Android One UI and support VoLTE on both sim simultaneously.
I don't think you are going to get much help here..better post this in that forum.

This is the correct answer.
I figured this out after a search through the phone settings.
The phone turns on Volte by default as soon as you switch to the 5G/4G modes for unlocked models in the US. You can verify this by going to
Settings >> About Phone >> Status Information >> Sim Card Status >> Mobile Voice Network Type
( or just use the search bar and type "Voice Ne" )
This will show "LTE" basically saying its Voice of LTE (VoLTE) . If you set your data mode to 3G/2G only, this shows "GSM".
So VoLTE is working on the unlocked models, there just isn't an option, its happening automatically. Really annoying tbh

It's self provisioning as long as the data on the sim card is correct. On my new N10+ all I did was put the sim card in and it was good to go.
A latter check showed it was properly configured.
Samsung has removed this option from phone. Although it works automatically i.e. if your network supporting the VoLTE it'll be automatically enabled and you'll see VoLTE icon next to signal bar.
