Hi folks
Apologies if this has been well covered elsewhere but its driving me up the wall trying to find a solid yes or no to this query.
Basically does the note 10 2019 support a guest or restricted user mode?
Scenario is id be surrendering my handset to a colleague to do some streaming with it. However is prefer they can't access any content / apps on the handset I don't want them too.
Know previous versions of android supported this but I swear I can't find it now
Appreciate any advices.

Have anybody but me thought about having muliple user logons on an Android device?
I'm thinking with the Galaxy Tab and many similar devices to come it would be natural to share the device within the household. Naturally you wouldn't want others to log on to your facebook/msn/email etc.
Are there any projects aiming to do this? Would it be possible?
hey, I'm loosing it trying to find out the same for weeks now. Been trying to start a little project that would involve multiple users on a same device, somethink like the xp's guest user would be awesome...
can sameone at least tell me it's absolutely not possible, couse then I'd finish my search and try for something different, thx!
We just got a transformer tablet at work and we had to tie it to a public gmail account dedicated to this device but multiple users will need to use it and have it tied to their google apps account. This is a problem for us and the apps that 'divide' the tablet just cost too much for what they do. We have at least 4-5 people who would use it. This isn't a situation where we should just have a tablet for each employee. The scientific work we do requires so much equipment that it has to be shared and scheduled. The tablet is just another thing we have to pack up in the morning when we have field work on our project. Multi user android support is needed!
Guys, I am in need of inputs from you regarding a query that I have.
I work for a corporate group in India and am looking for some technological solution to replace the pen and paper survey questionnaires for field executives. The device I have shortlisted is Samsung Galaxy Note.
Basically I want an application which
- is compatible with Microsoft Access (I have asked our IT guys to develop a survey form)
- is easy to use for field executives for data entry in the form
- is able to send/sync the filled in data to the server wirelessly (3G/EDGE/Wifi)
- is able to connect the device to a pc and reproduce the data on a pc
- is user friendly and bug free
Please let me know if there is already solution available for my requirements (which I may have overlooked) and if custom developed, how much this application is going to cost me.
@ Mods, I searched the forum but could not find any relevant post, hence starting this thread. Feel free to move it to correct section if necessary.
Thanks and looking forward for your replies.

BUMP... No reply!
Is there no one who could offer some help and direction for me here?
Hi,
don't know if you already soved your issue but I have a suggestion: Memento
I have the same problem you do and have been searching forever. The best I could get was memento (from the market). It has a one time cost of 9,9 USD and it lets you create your own data forms. Everything is stored locally on the device and it can be synchronized (to google docs in my case).
I've been operating 7 devices with this solution for the past 6 months and it works prety well. It cannot do everything I need, but it was the best I could find.
Other than this there are other solutions but the costs involved are a lot higher (something like 10 to 20 USD per month per user)
Hope it helps
Cheers
Hi everyone,
As many of you would have known, despite USB Host functionality being present in ICS, USB DACs have yet to be supported on our devices. This issue has also been starred by more than a thousand people on Google's site but still has not been noticed. (Link here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614&sort=-stars&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars)
Quoting a fellow XDA member: If Google did their work then we could use relatively cheap USB DACs with our Android phones and enjoy great music sound quality, no matter which cheap DAC/DSP the manufacturer has seen fit to include. Now with ICS this is a simple software fix, which makes it all the more irritating (someone has managed to add support for these in a Nook Colour kernel that works with CM9).
Right now, we can bring it up to a real Google Engineer while they visit my school (I have no idea how my school manages to be on such good terms with Google). All you need to do is help to vote this issue up so it gets the first pirioty to be asked. Perhaps then, we will get a chance to put the spotlight on our issue.

Can I give it more than one vote? haha ):
It would be nice to have DAC/AMP support on Android by default.
Hi buddy,
thank you for the information and discussion! I'm more of a business head than engineering but I am a lossless guy who loves his media players. Can you tell us more about what kind of things would be possible if Google enables this support?
Gentlemen and ladies,
As stated in the title I have a cheap MID M1050 Tablet rocking the 4.0 Android OS. Works fine for what they were purchased for but I am doing a job which requires the ability to access Ad Hoc networks which this does not do well. Sometimes it will see it, sometimes it will connect to it and sometimes it will anger the tablet gods and then it will not connect to any network. Being new to the rooting community, I was directed here for questions and answers but I haven't found the area for this particular device so if there is one, please link me to it because I searched the hole site for this model and it returned nothing.
My main question would be, if a successful root was done on this device, would I have either:
A) Greater functionality in the wifi abilities, i.e. able to connect to Ad Hocs at will
B) Any ability to change the way this device connects wirelessly so I make the changes I have found to enable the Ad Hoc connectivity
If so, would rooting with a custom ROM be similar as other tablets rocking 4.0 or would this one have its own way to go about it?
Not asking for someone to hold my hand through this but would like some opinion, links, and any documentation you would have on the subject. Looking to start my rooting on this simple device for the above and to play with battery conservation.
I assume this post is located in the wrong location and if so, mods please move it to the correct area. As is obvious with my first post, new to the forum and hoping to meet some helpful people on ye ol' internets.
Thanks all.
Assuming this means no one is familiar with this brand or model which I expected. Ill poke around on Google some more and see what I can come up with and post my findings here for others to search. Very curious on the Ad Hoc and Android OS issue and guess I will post that question in the Networking section if I cannot find a suitable answer searching the site and Google.
Thanks again.
Hello world,
yes, I used the search function.
Background: (you may wish to skip to the question)
I'm a multitasker and I don't like Android killing my browser if I use one or two other applications for a minute or so, because I lose all my tabs content that way. While that isn't bad having a good network connection, it is real bad in subway train where I usally read news by phone and the internet connection is very bad.
So I tried many different things in order to prevent android from killing my browser, and finally I found a solution in the opera forum:
(I really would like to link you there, but: "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!")
knumsole wrote in Opera forum:
Here, take this: (sorry, can't post link, see above)
This is Opera Mobile 11.5.3, (...). I repackaged it with a dummy service which increases the OOM priority of the application. This will very effectively prevent Android from killing it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(google for the complete sentences in that quote will lead you there.)
Adding this dummy service changed the applications oom priority from about 7 to 10 (--> gets killed soon to first) to an oom priority of 2 (which is totally stable for me).
[ooms read by auto memory manager.]
Question:
Is there a relative easy way to add a dummy service to an existing application? Such as "knumsole" did described before? (I tried contacting him, but wasn't successful)
I'd like to be able to do that myself, e.g. if I need a newer version of the browser. With "easy", I mean: I'm not an application developer, and I don't intend to become one. But I am able to extract an .apk file and modify text files in there and so. And if it is necessary, I would also compile that, too.
I use Android 4.1.2 on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thank you!
