Is there anyway, -not- to have my contact list pull from my Google account the second I add a Google account into my phone?
I have disabled automatically sync data, yet Google still deem it necessary to push my contact from their servers into my second phone where I do -not- want any entire contact.
I remember that on my Galaxy S7, I ended up getting around the issue by simply deleting the contacts I did not want on my phone (probably by disabling sync first).
But on my Pixel, which replaces the S7, I am getting a warning that doing so will remove the contacts on all my other devices despite the fact that I have also disabled auto-sync.
Worse come to worse, I suppose that I could just use a different account on my second phone and avoid adding the account on my primary phone, but I would prefer not to that if only because I would like to be able to access my paid apps (yes, I could also login and out of my primary account as necessary, but I'd prefer a set and forget solution if there is one).
Thanks.
I just make backup copies, then import the latest one.
Hi, you can also use android contacts manager tool to help you make backup of contacts on your android phone to the computer, and you can also manage (edit, delete, etc) them before you take backup. The tool my suggest is Coolmuster Android Assistant. With its help, contacts manager is really easy.

With Samsung phones there is already a robust contact manager, no Gookill needed.

i am looking for a way to schedule sending emails with my Gmail account. i came across Boomerang for Gmail which does exactly what i need it to. it installs as a plugin for Chrome browser and once installed, when i compose a new email in Gmail account, right next to the "send" button, there is now a new Boomerang send button.
what i need to know is if plugins like these can steal passwords. i know i should have thought about that before i installed it but it didn't occurred to me until after the fact. thanks for letting me know!
if permissions include access to cookies it can

They can easily steal your password if they're active when you type it in, but not after that.

As far as I am aware, unless they have some sort of keylogger, they cannot get your password, per-se.
However, (As also mentioned above), if they have access to cookies, they can login in your name. Additionally, some sites have the ability to hook in with google, and get "access" to your account if you approve it.

I could quite easily write a Chrome extension that popped up a window with your username and password in it, but it would have to capture them at a login screen, and not with a keylogger.
An extension has access to every control on every page that it is running.
Chrome would tell you, when you installed the extension, that it could access your google username and password though, so it could never do anything without you first allowing it to. Saying that though, there's a lot of people that just click 'Okay' without knowing what they're clicking!
Sorry for the several pictures attached, but they will help illustrate the problem.
This is the software version I am using on the phone. I am rooted but otherwise stock.

This is the version of Google Calendar I am using
I have 2 exchange accounts on my Android device. Each syncs calendar entries properly. This pic is of one of the accounts.
However, depending on the manner in which the calendar entry was entered, whether on the phone or using outlook, the notifications differs.
This entry was added using the phone. Notice the "pen" icon in the top right, which allows for editing the entry as well as the general layout of the notification.
Now notice the notification when the entry was made with outlook. It is very different, and does not have the pen icon to edit the entry.
I found the following post (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13779) which seems to indicate that it is a problem with the primary SMTP address, but I removed, and then re-added the account using the exact address, and the problem persists.
I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideas. I contact my hosted exchange service, and they asked if I had updated my android software to the latest, and then said that, since they have not had many, if any, complaints about it, there was nothing they could do. Now, I am willing to live with it if need be, but I would love to correct this issue.
Update
So, I added the exchange calendar to a different android phone (TBolt) and the entries are now editable.
I then uninstalled, and reinstalled, the calendar app on the problem phone (A Rezound) and the problem is still present.
I also notice that I had two calendar applications. Notice the icons at the bottom of the picture
Perhaps there is some sort of interaction causing the problem. Anyone have any suggestions. Would love to uninstall the older calendar app, but don't see that option anywhere.
I am trying to avoid a factory wipe, and am also wondering if the latest Rezound SW update will cure the problem.
Any ideas?
I'm using my G4 on Straight Talk, with an AT&T compatible sim card. In LG's Messaging app, there's a persistent pop-up from AT&T Messages Backup & Sync that appears pretty much every time the app is opened:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
According to the FAQs linked to on the page, turning this off involves opening the app's settings, going to AT&T Messages Backup & Sync, and selecting "Stop Backup." However, this doesn't appear. All other solutions listed involve turning the service off in my AT&T account--which doesn't exist, because I'm on Straight Talk.
Has anyone found a way to get rid of this message? I'm running Marshmallow, so rooting, unfortunately, is not yet an option. Is there an MMI code to dial bringing up a menu with an option to set the registration for this service as complete, like there is for the AT&T Contacts messages? Or some other option altogether?
I know that I could use a third-party messaging app, but I haven't found one other than this that will automatically enable and disable my data connection to download MMS, which I've quickly gotten used to in the week or so since I've had this phone. If anyone has any suggestions as to something that does do this, I'm certainly open to trying it. Either way, any help is appreciated.
try using a different messaging app, Hangouts or Googles Messaging app, then after you set it up try wiping the stock messaging app. I use a different messaging app and when I go into the stock app and try to turn on AT&T Messages & Sync I get a window pop up that states I need to activate the stock app as default to use Messages &Sync.
Be sure to back up your messages first before you attempt anything, if you want to save your messages.
You can disable it in settings/apps and show system.
That worked! Thank you so much!
Thanks OP. Good ole XDA.
I bought 2 Chinese smartphones: One is from a company called "Doogee", and the second is called "BlackView"
The Doogee one came with many weird apps preinstalled, so I installed Malwarebytes, and it detected 2 malwares. Both removed. After a day, Malwarebytes prompted me that a malware app is trying to install itself (one of those I removed!) - So I stopped using this phone. Hopefully did not risk too much of my personal information (passwords, emails, etc).
Meanwhile, the other Chinese phone I ordered has arrived. Knowing about those security issues now, I immediately installed Malwarebytes, and it detected that the Sound Recorder app is a malware, and is actually using data(?):

@TroyGuard I would recommend to search for a custom rom build from source to get rid of that stock spy roms :good:
@TroyGuard
personally I wouldn't use them but as you have bought phones you probably want to.
Though on twitter recently Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y was asking for such phones to analyse, he'd probably be happy to get one!
So If no custom ROM then you should be able to freeze those apps, system or preinstalled, that are risky or unknown (though they often come back, so freeze normally better). If you read the recent threads you will find links to a number of ways to do this, eg using TWRP, ADB, apps like Debloater etc which may work on those phones
WARNING: be careful freezing system apps, freezing an essential app can make your phone unusable, check online first if in doubt
Change all your passwords after this is done, to be safe.
(though there is still the possibility of a hardware backdoor , but I've not seen any reports of this.)
(Note: you probably won't get automatic OTA updates anymore as the ota updater is often part of the problem, besides you would have to refreeze apps after new install, but might be worth updating manually if it gives you important security patches)
Got this brand new A 32 5g phone. when i try to set it up it says that my organisation can control my device with knox cloud security, it does allow only limited apps via the google play store.
Is there any way to disable this and use your own Samsung account to sign and to restore this from an old backup.
many thanks
PS Just reading about Samsung Frp2020 , will this app help me to bypass
After seeing a youtube video, i have tried the Samsung Frp and use addrom, it allows me to restore from an old back up.
but when i go back it again takes me to the Knox page and asks me to enter my work email address and use ADFS seetings.
can some one help me please.
this is a new phone with no passwords setup currently.
I have done this 3 times and when i dont enter any details in the Knox and keep pressing the back up it gives the option to reset the phone and when i reset the phone i am back at square one.
i have just seen that it has intune security embedded into the phone. it activates when i am setting up the phone from scratch and wants me to add wifi to complete the setup

Microsoft Intune to Bypass MFA
then it takes to the device setup methods which states EMM provider (enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider).
here are some pics for you to have a look.
after taking you the organisation sign in page if you dont put the correct credentials and put any other account detials it doesnot accept this and i have the option to restore the device which sets it back to factory reset.
Hey.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I have pretty much exactly the same problem with a Samsung Tab S6 Lite and have yet to find a solution that works. Used Odin to flash new firmware and made no difference at all. The Microsoft sign in requirement via Knox Cloud Enrolment is still very much there.
All the articles and software I've found online seem only to relate to bypassing FRP (factory reset prevention) for a Google account.
