Looks to me like the corporate administration has disabled all of the low security screen unlocks. Can't imagine they would want you to somehow override their policies.

Yup, that is definitely the case here. Disabled.
Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!
If I've been able to help you, please hit the "Thanks" button.

so are there any ways to disable tt?i would prefer the pattern kicj

Ask your system administrator to allow corporate policy to use an unsecured unlock mechanism. That's about it.

The short answer is no. The MAC is stored in the NIC hardware, so short of replacing the phone, it can't really be done.
Unless your company's wifi is unsecured and depending on what monitoring software is being used , you may have your user id logged (ie Websense)

Open wifi /no password. Can it still be traced back to me?

Probably not easily. Sounds like the wifi is outside of the firewall. If not, it sounds like a network ripe for some hackery.
So they would not be able to see I'm on job search sites? That would be great! And now I know to stay on 4g
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
They may be able to see where the traffic within their network is going, but they won't be able to pinpoint it to your personal device unless you've given them your device information before hand or if you let them look at it to check. That is, unless you're the only one working... Then it would come back to you by default.
Thank you all. I greatly appreciate your help.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
Why would you think they are monitoring all employee traffic and then even have the tools sophisticated enough to filter out and monitor people looking for jobs. It would seem to me they would have to know the address to even look for. I guess if you are going through a corp mailbox where copies are kept it could be done but seems like something that they would only look at if they are reading all your e-mail.. (of course I hope you don't work for the NSA--then all bets off )

Galaxy S III locked

Hi, I have an S III with a pin unlock code. I was able to get into my phone just fine, untill a few minutes ago I was able to get into my phone.
Now its simply locked and I cannot enter.
Any ideas? There are important family pictures.
Punch in the correct code?
I'm not trying to be facetious, but it's highly unlikely that the code just changed on its own.
Have you tried a battery pull and reset?

You can also login to your my Verizon account on the web and look under your phone to find your lock code.

If you enter the wrong code enough times it should give you the option to unlock by entering the password for the phone's primary Google account.

Also, shouldnt I be getting the "forgotten pin" option? I dont see that.
If I get that I can easily login with my google account on MY phone.
Actually, I just tried it with the pin setting.... I'm not getting the "Login with your google account" option either. It shows up just fine for my pattern password, but if I set a pin, I can't find an option to bypass.

My question still stands, how do you reset your password with the pin lock? When I lock my phone with the pattern, if I mess up too many times it gives me the option to login with my google account, but with a pin lock, I saw no such option. What is one to do in this case?

[Q] Lost my phone

Last night, I lost my phone while I was out partying. Im not that upset about the loss, since I was going to upgrade it to a Nexus 4 anyway. The only thing that worries me, is that if someone finds the phone, they have acces to all my Google services, Facebook, etc.
Is there a way to prevent that? A way to log me out on all devices?
Anything that can prevent people from accesing my private information. I had my Gmail, my drive files, etc. on the phone.
Im afraid my lockscreen was on "slide to unlock" aswell. So there is not much protection there.
I really hope you can help me out here. It was a Galaxy Nexus running Cyanogenmod.

If it was linked to a microsoft exchange account, you can make it do a remote wipe.
next time use avast antivirus with anti-theft, great app, you can lock your smartphone via remote...

oh its not good at all. you should change your all passwords as soon as possible, and the next step is to inform your nearest police station about this lost.

Disable Email Security

Has anybody found a way to disable the email security with Microsoft Exchange on the Note 10.1? I tried installing Wanam xposed, but it wouldn't install. Really don't want to have a lock screen just because of my email.

Check out "enhanced email". Some mixed reviews but I like and will keep using it until my IT departments mobile iron implementation shuts me out.

Any client that uses Activesync will force you to accept your IT dept rules. Try Mobimail. This app uses Exchange Web Service which is not subject to the server restrictions. It is a phone style interface but it looks pretty respectable on a tablet. Only down side is it uses its own calendar so it won't integrate with Android calendar widgets. But it does its own calendar notifications so maybe not a big deal.

I might have to go back and forth on this - I got really used to the finger print log in. I got to the point where I could mount the phone on the dash of the car and unlock it without taking my eyes off the road.
It is worth it though - I don't normally use WiFi tether everyday - so switching back and forth will be fine with me.
I think they just somehow found a way to work around the VZ subscription check and turn on the WiFi Tether anyways. I have a feeling there will be an update to plug that hole at some point.
Indeed... if you don't accept the update all should be well lol. Appears to me to us the VPN to bypass the service check.

BTW if you remove the foxfi credentials from security you can return to your normal lock screen until the next time you need foxfi.

There is a workaround for this. Read the app description at play store. The idea basically is to setup a pattern, nota pin, as screen lock security and to fail entering the pattern 5-10 times, then just say ok to forget pattern and then it is necessary to enter your Google password to unlock your device. Such a way you'll keep the security certificate with no lock screen pin.

i dont think that work around is working. Can only choose between pin and password. No pattern option. I have also cleared credentials and it does the same thing. Annoying, i likley wouldnt have paid the 7.95 for the app had i known this silliness. Granted its nice to see it working without root on the new s5, but its a little more than annoying. Perhaps the developer can fix this so what is in the app description actually works like they say for the s5. or others.

Can you post here direct Google play link ?
How many price it will be for full beta ?

$7.95 for Full Version, Free to try.
As others have stated, it works on the S5 but you need to turn on the lock screen setting.
Also after you launch Foxfi you have to turn on your Verizon mobile hotspot.

It won't allow a pattern unlock do so that bypass won't work. However simply deleting the certificate and changing it back over does.

Is that the Certificate that it takes you to when your phone is restarted and it says 'a Third Party App may be monitoring you?

I absent-mindedly accepted the Security Update a little bit back, and FoxFi still works for me just fine.
yes that is the certificate.
After you turn on the Verizon moble hotspot will it say "Checking subscription"?
Mine has been doing that and I wanted to know if it is suppose to or if I'm doing something wrong.

You need to activate the FoxFi hotspot first and then it will prompt you to turn on the Samsung hotspot. Needs to be in that order as its basically creating a trusted VPN tunnel.
