No guest mode / multi user mode?? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How come my T-mobile note 5 doesn't have guest mode and multi user mode even though it has android 5.1.1. Any one here know a way to get it? May be it is a hidden feature or something lol

Carrier or Manufacturer preference I believe.

i always thought it was a tablet thing. only my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and Tab S 10.5 have it. i don't have it on either of my S6e or Note 5 Duos.

Samsung removed guest mode back when I had the Note 4 for unknown reasons. Multi-user is only on tablets.

Display Note 8 with passcode.

So I work for a sprint store. We had a guest put a passcode on our Note 8 display. Usually using the root menu and hard resetting the device would fix it, but the issue I'm running into is they just recently installed the retail mode on the device. My Samsung rep told me to put it in Odin mode, but he didn't tell me what to do from there. I'm hoping you could point me in the correct direction.
Read this.
Here's step by step instructions for the S8.
Just use the Note 8 ROM.

AT&T NumberSync Note 8(SM-N950F) with Gear S3 working?

Does anyone have a Gear S3(AT&T LTE version) and got it to work with NumberSync on their International Note 8(SM-N950F)? AT&T chat seems to have no clue as to why it won't work(I'm basically thinking since it's an international version and not branded At&T), but the reps can't confirm that. They just say buy a new device that is NumberSync capable, but when I ask them which phones are those, they can't give me an answer..
They thought it was my IMEI, which at the AT&T store, they had to spoof the IMEI from my Moto X Pure Style to get the 4G/LTE to work correctly.
It would just be great to have the NumberSync to work, but I have no problems with the Bluetooth connection for now.

Have you tried reseting the watch?Numbersync works in part with the stock messaging app. AT&T advanced messaging syncs your messages to the server and then it gets forwarded to your Gear. For numbersync to work on the international version you will most likely need to odin the AT&T stock image since it wont have the Advance messaging or try installing the advance messaging files. I've had my fair share of numbersync issues but eventually it got better with my S3/S8+ and now Note 8.

Hmmm... I see you have a US version of the Note 8, so you're probably in a better situation than I am atm. My Note 8 on my account only shows up as unknown device. I haven't been on this page as much since rooting my phone, so I'll follow up on the CSC flashing or ODIN AT&T image, if that's possible now. I'll look for Advance messaging as well. I know the Gear S3 still shows that when not in bluetooth or Wi-FI, it shows remotely connected, I still get notifications of miss calls from my phone, so it's sending me notifications in that sense, limited...
Thanks for the mentioned options, I'll look into them.
I tried to access NumberSync through my account but it says note 8 not compatible
Make sure you are signed into the myAT&T app. It uses that to sync your info/number.

One UI 2.0 (Snapdragon). Issue with Device Care - Security?

Hi guys, I finally decided to flash my Canadian Note 9 (SM-N960W) with Android 10. I now have an unbranded XAA CSC American Note 9 (SM-N960U) and almost everything is working perfectly, including WiFi Calling and VoLTE, but I have that one and only problem that is bothering me:
Every single time I try to open "Security" under "Device Care", the sreen goes black and the phone become unresponsive. Security status is "Deactivated" but I didn't disable it so I'm not so sure what's happening here.
I tried to download and install "Samsung Device Security" from XDA but it won't install. For some reason it's missing from my phone.
Any idea what's going on?
If that is the only issue then all is golden. Security that is not enabled refers to a not an active bundled antivirus solution which as you know is totally unnecessary. It does not refer to Samsung device security.

Note 9 SM-N960U - Android 10 Update - No Internet While Calling VOLTE

Hello Everyone! I have yet again ran into the same issue with VoLTE that i did upgrading to Android 9 with my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960U. There is no internet or data usage while on calls unless near WiFi. Last time, with the Android 9 update, VoLTE wasn't even an option, but it is an option within connections - mobile networks and is enabled with Android 10. I used Odin and downgraded the stock Android 8 for this Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960U and just settled. So i read about the 10 updates and seen that is was back and wanted to be on the latest OS but now its the same. I really do not want to go back to 8 although i did attempt it using Odin and it didn't work. Read through a post here that the bootloader for 10 wont allow it?
Guess my question is:
Is there a fix for the VoLTE issues i am having again with my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960U with Android 10 One UI 2.0?
Thanks for any comments ahead of time.
