[Q]What is Motorola Service?

Using my RAZR HD(JB), I found a user with administrator privilege, Motorola Device Policy, according to the description this user can wipe my phone, change my unlock passwd, change rules of passwd, monitor screen unlock attemps and lock my screen. Someone know something about this user and how can i use this functions?
cheers

I too would seek the answer to this question. I asked Motorola support and they did not know, and they said the online 'find my phone' service was not compatible with this phone, yet we have these settings preconfigured...

Motorola enterprise device management sdk
Might be related to this:
MOTOROLA ENTERPRISE DEVICE MANAGEMENT SDK
http://www.motorola.com/sites/motodev/library/enterprise_device_management.html
Looks like a service through which enterprises (or yourself) can create an app to control your phone.
One wonders whether an app can be created that asks the 'device manager' to install an 'su' binary on the users behalf (ie. root the phone).

"Motorola Services" is a system process used when you do "system upgrades" in the "About phone" settings.
If you freeze "Motorola Services", you won't be able to receive system / OS upgrades from motorola, or be notified of availability of those upgrades.

Software Install Restricted, No Go?

So, my work phone is crippled, can't install much of anything (an S5). I can install the Gear Manager, but when I try and pair with the phone, the jagoff admins set the phone to uninstall the required downloads the manager is trying to install (2 of 2, it says). So, as soon as they install, the are uninstalled. And the pairing hangs at that point.
I tried with my personal S6 Edge+, and it works like a champ. But I want it for my work phone. Am I dead in the water? Return the S2? I can't see a way to make it go...

disable whatever Device Admins you have enabled on the S5....Security > Device Administrators

Removing device administrators will unenroll phone from management software. That also removes all work-related tools, accounts, data, secure containers (if any). So... don't disable any Device Admins.
Talk to your IT instead. They have ability to whitelist apps. But ultimately, their answer will depend on your company's InfoSec policy.

DeviceAdminControl

Hi Forum Members,
I wanted to implement device administration control on the devices which are using my app. The scenario here is I want to get control on the uninstall of the app. Since with lock mechanism, I will lock the settings from user thereby denying the user access to settings and hence user can't uninstall apps which are under device administration control. I achieved the same with my Celkon Tab and Motorola mobiles but the problem arises with Honor Tab( media type T3 10) where when the user tries to uninstall the same app which is under device admin control it will not intent to the setting but directly uninstalls the app from the device. This shouldn't have happened since every app with device admin control code should have gone to settings and only if the user unchecked the device admin control feature he would be able to uninstall. Any help regarding the same will be highly appreciated.

Sounds shady, like you want control of other people's devices to prevent them from uninstalling your app.
Shady business like that could be used to put a privacy invading app on someone's device to spy on them and prevent them from uninstalling the app, forcing them to leave themselves exposed to snooping.
This kind of thing could also be used to prevent uninstalling the app so that you can continue making money on ads associated with the app.
Shady business, either way.
The only way I can see this being a legitimate purpose is if it involves owning a business with business owned/controlled devices with the app installed on the devices being used by employees for company purposes and preventing them from uninstalling the app to protect the business purposes for the app. In this case, it would be better to just make the app a system app somehow then prevent the user from having root access, in this scenario, the user wouldn't have the ability to uninstall the app unless they rooted the device themselves.

Looking for the way to get corporate device owner on Android TV

Hi.
I need to manage several android tv devices with MDM software, and the mdm app installation needs administrator permission. I not found the way to get this permission. On regular tablet I can enroll device after factory reset, but not in Android TV.
Can I get this feature (Enterprise for Android) with some tv box? If not, can I get a custom ROM and modificate some configuration?
Any help about it is very very welcome.
Thanks

Question Microsoft Intune portal - how to remove it

I have got a new S22 ultra and my company installed the MS Intune portal, is there a way to remove it?
Will it help if I install clean official firmware?
Factory reset didn't help.

Have you tried Settings< Accounts and Backup<Manage Accounts< and then delete work account?

Yes, it is blocked by the policy that enforced by KNOX.
The account can't be removed.

Then I am afraid that your network administrator will need to delete the device from the company account before you can remove that safety feature.

Is it your own phone? Sounds like it's company's phone or your phone has been "invaded" by your company via intune device management...`

If it is your phone then you can remove it otherwise no

Did you remove Company Portal/Intune from Device Admin Apps before trying to Uninstall?

If Intune is on it that means its a company phone , there is probably a company polisy about this , ask your company IT if it is alowed to remove it.

Strange, I never had issues uninstalling company portal after removing as device admin.
