Guest Mode vs private mode. - Galaxy Note 4 General

Hi, in recent upgrade the touchwiz has ignored the guest mode on behalf of private mode. Guest mode was introduced in lollipop. Its same like we create different users with different login ids and passwords in windows pc. Guest mode is extremely good and we can give our phone to others to be used by them with their accounts and apps. I don't like private mode at all.
Guys please suggest your opinion.

Private mode is good, but guest mode is awesome in its on way.
I would prefer guest mode over private any day

I am surprised that why samsung has removed this feature from lollipop..

[Q] Facebook URL preview never works on win phone 8

For the life of me I cannot post a video on a friends wall on Facebook and get the URL preview.
I've tried lots of things like using the developer page to check if the meta data is there, yep its there. If I use my computer to make the post...yep the preview works. But something about windows phone 8...i have never gotten the preview to work. Are client side script languages disabled or something, why is this? Anyone have the same issue?
You're not alone, got the issue aswell. On my HTC 8S AND on my iPhone (strangely, since it worked before..)
Are you using an app or the web browser? If the browser, do you have it set to "desktop mode" in Settings (this is just a user-agent string switch, but it should give you the "real" Facebook page as you would see on a PC).

Not on 4.4, but you can do a lot of modifications on 4.3 to get it.

There is a xposed module that will let you create a new user. You can choose to give this user full rights or not I will post in a new quote the module

It is called Multi Users for phone. After installing the module and rebooting go to the settings and you will find the user option (works for me stock kk 4.4.4)

does WP have something like Recovery on Android ?

hello all...
I'm new to WP, so i need to do some reading about it , and i was wondering if WP have things like Recovery mode of Android that can backup and restore the whole system.
I'm asking this because i was googling it and all the result come out with Nokia , but unfortunately my device isn't Nokia so it concerns.
OK... so could someone please tell me does WP have something like Recovery ?
As I know of now , WP phone are separated in 2 parts , the OEM firmware and Microsoft WP OS., and for now there is WP8.1 GDR1 Preview , i'd like to update to it , but i have to think about first that how am I supposed to make my device back to stock OS if something goes wrong , it's gonna be much appreciated if someone could help me out of this ....
Sadly, no. WP7 did, but for some not-entirely-clear reason Microsoft removed even the option of creating such backups with WP8.
Some stuff is backed up automatically, if you enable the relevant options in Settings, so if you reset your phone (or buy a new one) and sign in with the old account, you'll get your apps and contacts and SMS and so forth back. However, there's no official way to downgrade your phone from a preview release. If you tell us exactly what phone you have, we may be able to point you at an unofficial one, though...
jepp , backup whole os is removed by MS.
but , things that get backuped:
your start screen and all your tiles and in the right order.
your theme.
SMS.
email accounts , you only need to re enter your password.
WIFI, only need to enter the key before you entered your live account (it also remember all the WIFI connections you made).
All apps you got from the store.
all your contacts (when you have them on any of your email accounts).
Facebook , twitter , LinkedIn, when you connected them with your live ID.
Game scores/settings.
App Settings.
but you need to turn this all on in settings.
The game scores and app settings stuff (and possibly some of the rest of that list) is 8.1-specific; older apps (like, say, Fruit Ninja which is actually a WP7.0 app) won't be able to use that feature. Just an FYI.

[Q]Login like windows app

Hello there! Is there an app where you need to login first before accessing a phone? Like you need to choose a user then enter password/biometrics before access

There was a multi user app that used to work but development stopped at 4.4.2 . Closest I guess would be to somehow enable multi user mode but that's not possible unless you root the phone.

We actually have that option here on note 8. I think ill just use this if
I don't think so for multi user login method without root. Even with multiple Google accounts there is still one only login without root.
For little kids there are few separate launcher type apps (from both Samsung and third-party devs that you have to download) that you, as the parent, have to setup and switch to for your child. Those child safe launchers allow your device to be somewhat safe from the child. By allowing you to choose the apps for the child and a lock that prevents the child from getting out of the launcher and prevents them from messing up your device. Though at a point the child will learn ways out of the launcher and/or flaws of the launcher to allow them to mess with the device. That is why I say it is for little kids. And the launchers don't protect your device from what the child can do with the apps themselves. It also doesn't protect your device from the child throwing or physically damaging the device. Basically it is not a nanny.You still have to watch the child with the device.
Samsung version is Kids Mode in the Galaxy Apps store or Google Play Store. And there are third-party apps in the Google Play store like Kid's Shell, Kids Place, Kidoz, Kidsworld, etc.
Also for kids and adults (again people can finds ways around them) Personal Launcher by Pramati. You are still sharing apps and the data within the shared apps. Like switching launchers on your device, but still have access to the same data on the same shared apps.
Samsung Secure Folder is a little secure launcher that you access within your own account. So to access the Secure Folder you have to be logged into your normal login. That is not the same as what you are looking for,
As a single user you can use password to log into your device. Which is much safer than other logging methods.
I do remember that Google was working on multi user login for Android. I don't know what happened to that. As parents it would make it easier than the child safe launchers.
Again your device must be rooted for this app that would do what you want: SwitchMe Multiple Accounts by Fahrbot. Again root only.

Multiuser support not sure. But you can definitely add a password to access your phone on bootup

Multiuser

Hi all. I'm thinking to buy a MI9 but only in case I could find a way to setup multiple users on the device. I understand the MIUI doesn't have this feature by default which has been keeping me away from this manufacturer for a long time. However, I still hope there should be a way to enable the multiuser mode? Anyone?
you're wrong. MIUI has user accounts. just go to settings, special functions and profiles
Not only that, apart from user accounts, you can clone applications on one account that you won't find on other smartphones
You have second space in MIUI 11, but it's only 1 user more
