S8+ with corporate google apps device policy? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

My company uses google apps and google apps device policy to manage company google accounts.
For some reason, my S8+ is failing to pass the requirement of "Password is required to start the device." So I tap on that item in the Google Device Policy app. The thing is, it IS enabled.
Then when I tap to change that setting, it brings me to the lock screen settings and I can select password input, but that doesn't satisfy the requirement. I've tried removing all security from the device, then adding the password from the app, but that didn't work either.
As a result, I can't get my work email on my phone. This is a huge problem.
What I think is happening is that Google Device Policy is trying to find the android setting of "require password on boot" but Samsung has replaced it with the lock screen security menu and that's not fulfilling the requirement.
Does anyone put their work google account on their phone, and have they encountered this problem?

Took me quite a few minutes to figure this out too. Here's the path to resolve it:
Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure startup (which is way down near the bottom)
I have mine set to PIN and that satisfied the requirement.
Hope that helps.

This worked! Thank you so much. I can't believe it was that easy.

You bet. Taping the missing requirement doesn't take you to the Secure startup which is the confusing part.
Glad I could help.

[GUIDE] Pattern Unlock with Exchange Server Security Policy for 2.1 & 2.2

This actually maybe more of a bug than a setting.
1) Do not setup your exchange account settings yet
2) go to menu > setting > security and set a screen unlock pattern
3) set up your exchange account settings and sync
3a) if your server security requires a pin unlock it will ask you now
3b) go ahead and setup a pin
4) now you'll notice when you turn on the screen you have to swipe down with the htc lock screen then a pin then a pattern unlock.
5) install lockpicker and disable the exchange screen password requirement
6) Now you will swipe down then do the pattern unlock
I hated typing in a pin every time i used my phone when i was on WM and find this is a decent alternative.
To change your lock pattern once you have everything set:
"to reset the unlock pattern, simply enter the wrong pattern 5 times, and then login with your google account. As soon as you've done that, then you are prompted for a new pattern." -- kitstable (Thanks!)
Also here's a nice widget to toggle your lock pattern

Hope it helps.

Updates for 2.2:
Look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655649
Follow the instructions as you will have to run the script to edit the mail.apk or email.apk depending on whether you are using ASOP or Sense client.
I am running this using the vael rom and it works very well.
Exactly what I was looking for thank you.
Thanks for that, just what I was looking for.
I started with a easy pattern, so found this out trying to change it - to reset the unlock pattern, simply enter the wrong pattern 5 times, and then login with your google account.
As soon as you've done that you're prompted for a new pattern.
Thank you.
You can grab Quick Settings off the market, this will allow you to toggle the pattern on and off, and change the pattern.
cant seem to change the unlock pattern with quick settings but putting in the wrong pattern 5 times then changing seems to work. Also found a cool widget called lockpattern onoff that allows you to toggle whether you want your lock pattern or not.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.curvefish.widgets.lockpatternonoff
Very helpful. Thank you.
I followed the directions here and entered the password for Exchange when prompted. I let the screen go and went to unlock, but I didn't have the pattern unlock. I just typed in the password and that is it. Looking at the security settings I now see options for the password and not the visible pattern.
Do have to use a pin for this trick to work? Or did the latest OTA improve security?
You sure you set the patern unlock and verified it worked prior to setting up your exchange account?
With Froyo, I think this functionality is built-in (i.e, you can use pattern unlock for Exchange) without having to go through all the steps mentioned.
I remember being able to do this with one of the CM6 nightly builds.

Yes, I did verify it before syncing with Exchange. I also created a NAND backup before syncing and after verifying pattern unlock. And if I restore I will go back and it will prompt me to pattern unlock before going into phone.
So even though the Exchange guy told me its just a pin, it appears the policy on the mail server is requiring a password, something strong than just a pin. So I think that is why I am unable to make use of this.

are you running 2.1 or 2.2?
I have not tried this, but I am unable to use a pattern unlock by default because of the security requirements. I am only able to use pin/password. I'm on 2.2 rooted now.
What sucks since GOING to 2.2 is that I can't use Swype to unlock the phone. I didn't mind the password since I could draw it with Swype. I hate the password/pin stuff . . . WITHOUT Swype.
Anyway to reenable Swype's use for password entry on 2.2?
lockpicker says its not supported by 2.2. it worked great on 2.1, but i guess the new build really messed it up.
if the dev of lockpicker would make the app work with 2.2, I, and many other would donate pretty good, Im sure.
Or if another dev could make an optionin teh security tab to lock screen after , say, 24 hours of no activity, instead of 15 at teh longest, that would be great...
Just updated first post to reflect some development regarding this feature on 2.2

Swype works fine for me on 2.2. Just this method doesn't seem to work at all for me. I think the requirements from our Exchange policy are on the strict side.
There was a post on xda forums that used adb to go in and change the settings on the phone to force it to do what lockpicker did but this didn't require an app or even a background service to be running. I am unable to find that post now but I wonder if those same adb commands would work on 2.2. If so we wouldn't have to wait for lock picker to be updated and we could get rid of that background service and save some battery life. I can't remember what section it was in and searching returns too many duplicate posts making it very time consuming to look through that mess to find what I am looking for. If i ever find it I will link it in here.
I have this saved at work, I'll test and post it to see if it works.

I assumed that it was just to edit or update the pattern lock. Thats why i did not tinker with it.
Hi guys, I've run into the same problem but still can't get to remove the lock..
mine is as follow:
settings > security > screen lock
then it asks to "confirm saved pattern"
then i have: none (grayed out), slide(grayed out), face unlock(grayed out), pattern, PIN, password
If i choose pattern again, it will ask me to draw a new pattern and it comes back to the same.
the grayed out options are written "disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage".
I'm running ARHD ICS.. i want to remove the screen lock pattern to default slide unlock only... please help

You would likely have trusted credentials set up because of a VPN or Microsoft Exchange account. In which case, you'll have to clear the trusted credentials first before none becomes available as an option. Do note that your VPN or Exchange account would be erased when you clear trusted credentials.
I had this problem a few days ago, couldn't use the simple unlock screen, the option was greyed out. Happened after allowing the Seekdroid app to function as an administrator I think, or could have been after adding my college (wpa2 enterprise) wifi network either.
I stumbled upon a proper fix though today, instead of just deleting the credential storage.
Go to:
-settings
-profiles
-select a profile and click the settings icon beside it
- at the bottom of the list there is an option "lock screen mode"
-change it to "use insecure lock screen"
*there is also the option to disable the lock screen entirely
This worked for me anyway, the simple swipe unlock is now default.
I had the same problem, but I found a solution.
The one with the profile option does not work for me, because I do not have this option.
I just chose Pattern , turned off the screen, turned it back on and clicked on Forgot in the right down corner. After I gave in my Google passswort it changes automatically back to slide.
In the settings the option none it still grayed out but its selected anywhere and it works.
I just installed "Lookout". Went to settings/security and selected "lookout" as my device admin. No i have all the options for pattern lock back.
silly little thing ICS
just managed to resolve this on my S3 after an hour-two of getting nowhere.
this was the problem:
- encrypted the phone
- after encrypting the device I did not like the lack of convenience the enforced PW unlock offered (sorry, I know it is the most secure way, but no friggin way I am going to type in a PW into my phone 50x a day...already doing this 500x at work, so.....no!)
- decrypted the phone and could not get any other unlock method to activate... not even after clearing the admin controls and credentials
and these are the steps I took to resolve it:
- found an old SD card and installed it
- encrypted the SD card
- decrypted the SD card
- made sure phone is decrypted again
- voila! unlock options became available again
Thank You

Doesn't work for me (Htc One X, CyanogenMod 10)
Went to profiles -> Clicked "Settings" icon next to Default (selected) profile -> tapped "Lock screen mode" -> Chose "Insecure".
Still no option to remove the lock screen (ie None, Slide and Face Unlock still grayed out)
I use VPN and have credentials stored, I would not wish to lose this, but would still like to have a simple lock screen instead of lock pattern.
Can I use "Slide" lock AND still have the VPN credentials stored? Is there some way to force this?
Thanks

Fingerprint unlock problem

With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:
“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”
And I have to use the PIN.
This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
Does someone also facing the problem?
Is there any solution – setting?
Best.
D.
Yes i had this and tried to reset my fingerprints when i tried that settings error and closed, then i couldnt change anything, pin, fingerprints, couldnt even factory reset. Cause it always asked for my pin and after i entered it settings would error rebooting didnt help. Finally using android device manager from my pc i had to do an erase. My s7 is stock and it had nothing disable at the time this happen.

there might be extra Policy set on ur device.
go to setting > Security > click on Clear Credentials
+ also check what is ur device administrator
:good:
I had that even on my Nexus 6P when using Nova's double tap to lock feature. I think it's something to do with Marshmallow actually.

You can try Samsung's Good Lock app from Galaxy Apps store or, if you live outside U.S., from apkmirror.com. It's a System UI update that allows fingerprint unlock with third party locking widgets.

This actually works. But ... then I get totally different lock screen display etc... that I actually don’t like.
So ... till now ... no real solution.

You can find details on that thread about this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I must say it is very annoying. Can't really see any reason why this should interfere with the security. Should be my choice to be honest. Would be nice to have a solution to this. Looks like it's been an issue for a long time as well. Found some threads about the 6P for example with the same issue.
Try use other app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff

How do you turn off Google Assistant?

With Google Now there was an option to turn it off. I haven't been able to find that option for Google Assistant.
Edit: To be clear, I selected "No Thanks" in the Assistant settings screen. However, if I say "OK, Google" it still takes me to the settings screen, indicating it's still listening.

Don't feel bad VM--I'm in the same boat with you. I have zero interest in/desire for Google Assistant. This may sound weird, hut speaking interrupts my thought process. When I type, I can continue to think. So, more. often than not, I'd much rather type than speak.
So, when I finally got around to the installing it for the second time, (The first time was a big fail because I wanted NO part of it.) I got yo a point where it wanted to link to my other devices. (I think. It's been a while, but I think that's what it wanted to do. For some reason, I keep thinking that it wanted to turn on Google Assistant on all of my devices. ) That got a big fat "No thanks". (I knew I should have registered that device with a new account!) "No thanks" was a legitimate option, at that point. I thought the installation would proceed on that device--the one where it was being installed. Instead, the installation process terminated.
Apparently, my installation isn't completed either, so I cannot turn it off. To make matters worse, it's occupying a ton of space on a device that has little to spare.
There are at least a couple ways to get to the Google settings, and the following is one way.
Settings > Google > Search
My notes suggest Settings in that area previously went to the first screen posted, without first setting up Assistant, but the v8.0 version from November 2017 kept going to Assistant setup on my phone. After installing the v8.1 update from December 2017, it's again possible to turn off Assistant, without first setting it up.
Settings > Google > Search > Settings (only first time went to Assistant setup) > Pixel > Google Assistant - Off
The second screen posted is located here.
Settings > Google > Search > Voice > "OK Google" detection
Assistant needs a bunch of settings to run, so if the items in the following are turned off or paused Assistant can't be used. My phone seemed to use a bit less battery in standby with Assistant turned off and these items disabled, but it's rather minimal, maybe around 3% less battery per day on Android v7.
Settings > Google > Search > Accounts & privacy > Google activity controls
Changing the following will alter what happens when holding the home button. I have mine set to call android.intent.action.VOICE_ASSIST using Tasker.
Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps > Assist & voice input > Assist app

Just in case you don't know, when you invoke Google Assistant you can hit the little keyboard icon (rectangle with six dots) on the left and then type into it instead of speaking. Just FYI in case the speaking thing is the only reason you don't want to use it.

Question Is there a way to disable Samsung Pass for Google SmartLock on S22 Ultra?

I was just forced (phone broke) to upgrade from my Note 10+ and the timing was such I took advantage of getting the S22 Ultra. I am liking the device so far, but it seems there is no way to use Google's SmartLock feature for autofilling passwords with the Gboard keyboard outside of Chrome. I normally use Keypass for my offline keychains but like the convenience of google, but now Samsung is forcing me to use their crap system for password management and it seems like I can't switch to Google for things like apps like I used to in the past. Is this expected behavior and is there any way to change it? I've done a bunch of digging and everyone historically has pointed to changing the auto fill settings but there is no alternative options for SmartLock in the Samsung pass settings on the device that I have been able to find.
Thanks!

Go to Settings --> General Management --> Passwords and Autofill
There should be two sections there, one for passwords, and one for autofill services.
Press and hold on the name, Samsung Pass, for 1 or 2 secs. When you release, it will go to a selection screen where you can choose Google Autofill Service.
Hope this helps, took me a while to figure it out.

Thanks, that did the trick, it was driving me crazy after returning to Samsung after 8 years or so of other phones.
The setting on the samsung A52 s (android 13) looked like it already had google pointed as the password manager, but when I pressed the word: Samsung password manager !
it finally gave a pop-up to choose Google.
(Really press the word samsung password mamager, Not the "gear", really press the word. The gear is there for settings of the "chosen" manager)
Now it finally works as intended, thanks again!
Worked like a charm!, so annoying not more obvious

Go to Settings --> General Management --> Passwords and Autofill
There should be two sections there, one for passwords, and one for autofill services.
Press and hold on the name, Samsung Pass, for 1 or 2 secs. When you release, it will go to a selection screen where you can choose Google Autofill Service.
Hope this helps, took me a while to figure it out.
