[Q] Multiple Tablets Question - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have determined that the Note 10.1 is perfect for my business (sales rep). I am now looking to buy Notes for each member of my sales team. I was wondering what the best approach is for setting up multiple Notes. Is it possible to create a generic Google Playstore account (i.e. [email protected]) that could be loaded on multiple devices? That way all the apps I want my salesmen to use will be loaded on each tablet? If that is possible, can the user add a separate Playstore account so they can add their own personall apps?
Thanks in advance!

Good choice
you can use multiple gmail accounts no problem. I have 2 on mine, ones a personal account and the other is a shared account.
I had the shared account on another note 10.1so I can transfer between the two using google drive and have a shared inbox. I can install apps with either my personal or shared fine, though have never tried with paid apps.
Also, You would have to manually configure each note!

Android Apps the Provide Contact/Calendar Integration...

One of the sorely (and inexplicably) missing features of Android is the ability to seamlessly integrate Contacts w/ Calendar and vice versa. What I mean is to be able to create a Calendar Event and automatically add People to it, creating a link which may be accessed at a future date.
So far, I am aware of only two Market Apps which provide this functionality, although neither is perfect:
DejaOffice
Contact Event
Is anyone aware of others? I don't mind paid apps if they actually work.
P.S., Windows Mobile 7 does this seamlessly. Have no idea why Google refuses to. I say "refuses" because the integration would be so simple they MUST be leaving it out on purpose for reasons known only to them.

Restricted profile able to access my Google drive? How? Why?

I'm setting up my nexus 7's (2013 on marshmallow) for client use, essentially so instead of handing them a stack of papers relating to the homes I'm showing them, I could hand them a tablet with the PDF of information on it. Allow them to take notes on it, take pictures etc and email them all to themselves right from the tablet.
Problem is, I use the tablet for myself as well, mainly as just a reader, but business use now and then too and so my Google account is on it as well, but as a separate user. The restricted profile user I setup for clients however has FULL access to MY Google drive from their restricted profile...it needs access to IT'S Google drive account to access the pdf's, but somehow its able to see my stuff instead.
Not sure why this is happening or how to fix it?
Any info would be great.

How can I isolate my android from my desktop PC and continue to use chrome on each ?

I have saved usernames and passwords for various websites on the desktop (Windows) PC, for my convenience via Google Chrome. I have several android devices (phones) which are able to access these saved passwords since they are linked together. I want to save these passwords to my PC only. And restrict some from my androids, ie. banks, brokerage houses, Amazon and pay-pal. Now, if I have mobile apps associated with these sites, I can block the passwords and usernames. But, a search via google for the website login page (by-passing the app) will display my username and password. Although the password is not visible, it's still there and allows access to my account. I'm not sure if anyone would know what to look for if my cell was lost or stolen, but it's still unnerving to think it could possibly happen. So, I am searching for a way to segregate my PC from my androids, and still be able to use Crome on all. A Google search gets me answers to all imaginable questions, except for the one I ask. Maybe, I just don't know how to form the question to where Google can understand it.
You should be able to sign out on the other devices.

Create an alternate Gmail address to use on the androids and don't use that Gmail on PC.
Or
Have you tried signing out of chrome browser on the androids and set it to not remember your username and password?

Can you migrate Authenticator app data to new phone?

I'm planning on getting a new phone in the next few months. I'm a windows 10 hold out. One of the main reasons holding me back besides finances right now, is the microsoft authenticator app, which I use very heavily for personal and work. I probably have over 20 accounts setup.
I know I will have to disable and setup TFA again for all those accounts on on a new app with whatever device I ultimately end up with. But I'm wondering. In the future going from android to android device, is there an easier way to migrate authenticator apps?
I've never used the Microsoft app but I think it uses a standard method similar to Google Authenticator and others:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_algorithm
You might be able, somehow, to export the secret key and other parameters (these could be common defaults).
But I bet apps don't allow that easily in order to protect it from unintended disclosure.
Maybe there's a way to sync to an online Microsoft account, and from there sync the new phone? Microsoft Authenticator is available also on Android.
What I do when adding the info for a new account is write down the secret key, and any other parameters, in a password manager. From there they can be entered into other apps, or used directly.

Yes it uses the same method as the Google app. I don't have any loyalty to the Microsoft app, that's just what was available for me on Windows. But sadly, no they don't have any MSA sync feature, otherwise I would gladly keep using the Microsoft app on when I do make the switch. I do jot down the secret key or the extra one use passwords when available, but there are several that don't offer one and you just take a picture of the QR code. Or at least, I didn't notice it.
But mainly my question is: Is there an authenticator app, be it google or some other brand that will actually migrate the TFA stuff from device to device. I've gotten so used to using TFA but now that I have so many accounts, it's a task I dread, having to deactivate and reactivate TFA just because I need to upgrade my device.
Here's one password manager that's supposed to support TOTP:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android
It's probably more complex to use than stuff like MS/Google Authenticator.
A short search on the web suggests even Google Authenticator doesn't have a simple way to export/import or sync across devices.
But there are other suggestions here:

Running multiple instances of whatsapp and backing them up

Hello all. I currently use a POCO F2 Pro, which has the cloning feature allowing me to run two instances of whatsapp at the same time (two different phone numbers) and backing them up to two different google drives.
Now I just bought a Nubia Redmagic 8 PRO that, to my disbelief, does NOT feature a cloning app. I know there are several alternatives (parallel spaces, app cloner, dual space...) but as far as I know none of these allow to use GPlay services and hence the backup option is not available.
Do you have any hints on how I could do to pass my old data from the secondary WhatsApp to my new phone? And, in general, how will I be able to cloud backup data from it?
Thanks in advance.
