I don't have the option to add a new restricted user at Cloud > User.
I already contacted (german) samsung support that told me, that on LTE-versions the option is missing but they can't tell me / don't know why.
Is there something under the hood where I can enable it? I really need it to create accounts for my kids...

I'm still seeing Android System using the lion's share of my battery life and I've started looking at the services running within it. The IPSec service is always near the top of the Android System pile and I was wondering if it's safe to disable it.
Some light Googling is turning up the service is related to VPN networking but there's not much more available (at least at an entry level of understanding). This link provides a decent understanding. I don't use remote access or corporate VPNs. My only real question is if I disable it using the App manager, are there routine functions that might be disabled? Should I be weary about Samsung Pay?
Thanks!
Finaly have you find a solution ? i'm reseaching on google and i can't find how disable ipsec on android , if you have know how do this , please let me know
Root your phone to enable super user abilities, and search for ipsec in rom manager, then disable it.
Realizing Im going back in time.. Or if you have a device like the Samsung S6 Active, an AT&T branded, close to perfect device which I have yet to find a way to Unlock the bootloader and root ..? Try AdHell-2. The link(s) are here at XDA. You must... 1.) Create a Samsung Account, 2.) Apply for a Developers Account SEAP, 3.) Request a License Key, 4.) Toggle On Unknown Sources in Settings/Lockscreen & Security/Unknown Sources, 5.) Install the AdHell-2 .apk, 6.) Then Activate the App by Copying your License Key. * This is a great App which not only serves as a highly-efficient Ad Block, but also allows for the Disabling of System and User Apps. Anyone reading this know of a way to root the S6 Active?
These are some settings that I fail to clearly understand so I thought no better place to find the right answers to them than XDA Developers where most android geeks are
1) The first question is exclusive to Huawei, it lies in (Settings - More - Link+ live update) ... What does this really do?
2) Second question is obviously present in any Android phone on Nougat, it's actually those settings in (Apps - Settings - Advanced - Special access) I can't quite understand some of them specially:
Ignore battery optimization, what should I expect if I set all apps not to ignore battery optimizations?
Do not disturb access, what would this add to an app like the Google App for example if I give it this access?
Draw over other apps, what's the difference between this and the Dropzone management setting in Huawei's built in Phone Manager app?
Write system settings, what's that??!
Unrestricted data access, if I turn that on from Mobile data settings I believe the amount of data usage for an app not given the restricted data access would be restricted to some level but my question is to what extent? And I also noticed that Google Play Services is unrestricted by default ... What would go wrong if I restrict it?
Usage access, what does it mean and what's the difference between this and Notification access?
Sorry for my long post and awaiting your helpful answers. Thanks in advance
Any replies??
????!!

probably the only way you are gonna find out what these settings do, is to test your self, and see what happens , backup.
Hi mates.
I've switched from note 3 (greatest phone I've ever bought) to note 8 and I'm encountering a problem with the email configuration.
Actually, on the email application of note 3 I was able to add a personal PGP certificate for signing an email (or even deciphering emails from my contacts). The current Samsung email application seems to not have such feature... can you confirm this to me?
It's about to be weird, since they are spotting the encryption feature into the app description on the play store. Thanks
Interesting. I did a quick test just now and found the same.
The option exists to manually import a series of certificates but that's where it ends.
However, according to the Knox Workspace 2.9 IT Admin Guide, it appears that Samsung wants you to have Knox enabled first and use their default mail client for S/MIME or PGP to be an option.
See here:
https://docs.samsungknox.com/KNOX-Workspace-Admin-Guide/Content/knox-workspace-apps.htm
I'd test further but I've rooted my device so I have no access to Knox.
As a workaround, you could convert PGP to PKCS12 and try to import. Alternately, there appears to be some PGP-compatible apps on the PlayStore.
Good luck!

Many thanks!
Well... Samsung My Knox has been replaced by Personal Area and even if I configure an e-mail account inside it, the email application doesn't show the "advance" security options.
That's makes me vary mad...
Thank you for pointing that out. I had forgot that 'My Knox' had been retired.
I was pouring through their white papers and what not, and I'm thinking this must've been a business strategy; give consumers a moderate level of security via 'Secure Folders' and leave more advanced features for enterprise environments via 'Knox Workspace'.
See this:
https://docs.samsungknox.com/KNOX-Workspace-Admin-Guide/Content/knox-workspace-apps.htm
The options exists for those utilizing 'Knox Workspace'; even outlines full instructions.
Bearing in mind the samsung side-definition of what a Knox-workspace is, such a feature should be enable even inside the personal area. Idk how can I signaling this to samsung, it seems very weird to me...
Anyway, you gave me material for getting useful information for reporting that to the assistance, at least. Thank you

No problem. Happy to help.
I've also reached out to Samsung myself to inquire further:
https://www.samsungknox.com/en/contact
Hopefully we can come up with a definitive reasoning.
Update
@DarkIaspis
I have been communicating with Samsung since the start of this thread.
Today they confirmed that PGP was removed, as evidenced by this thread, and only S/MIME will be supported.
I have included a screenshot but have removed any personal details about myself and the contact at Samsung.

Is there any way you can helpme please?
Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 5 - Cloud and accounts, Google, Accessibility, General management, Software update, User manual, About phone, Developer options
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.
Accounts and backup
Samsung Cloud; Backup and restore; Smart Switch: Self-explanatory. Any tips and tricks for these?
Accounts: Change and review settings for each account signed in your device. Change 'Sync' settings here.
Google
Do review all Google settings - you'll come across many interesting ones.
Accessibility
For users who find any feature difficult to use in normal style. Full guides here (Google) and here (Lifewire). However, this section also contains many hidden features that users probably ignore or skip. If you want me to cover this, please let me know.
General management > Language and input
Language: Change your preference order for all available and enabled languages.
Default keyboard: Change your keyboards here on simply from the notification panel while you are using one. Once you tap it, you can enable/disable 'Show Keyboard button' that shows up on the navigation bar but how do I hide the navbar during typing?
On-screen keyboard: Change keyboard settings. I use SwiftKey.
Physical keyboard: Learn how to connect a USB keyboard to your device here. You can define 'Keyboard shortcuts' here and disable 'Show on-screen keyboard' while using physical one.
Show keyboard button: Explained in 'Default keyboard'. Again, is there a way to hide the navigation bar during typing!
Autofill service: Choose the service for autofill service for apps (not webpages). Google Smart Lock for apps works perfect but I'm trying 'Samsung Pass' now.
Text-to-speech: Default 'preferred engine' is Samsung TTS. I've changed it to Google TTS as I believe they probably have researched more in this field especially for Hindi. Play with TTS settings, Speech rate and Pitch to find your soulmate.
Pointer speed: Learn how to connect mouse here. This settings describes the mouse (and trackpad) pointer speed.
Software update
Set 'download updates automatically' so that you don't have to check manually. These are the ones that are called OTA or Over-the-air updates.
User manual
Digital version of your user manual but will simply route you to the webpage.
About phone
Change your device name here (will appear in Bluetooth, WiFi direct and other methods). Everything else is information here in 'Status', 'Legal information', 'Software information' and 'Battery information'. If you want me to breif each of them, please tell.
Developer options
You enable this by tapping build number in 'Software information' in 'About phone' five times. I really wanted to explain each and every option here but there are already better guides on the internet. Read here, here and here.

1. Can I root my Note9?
Depends on the variant. Find common queries answered as follows:
The Exynos variant (N960F/FD/N) is rootable. Find guide here or DYOR on XDA.
The international Snapdragon (N9600) is rootable (due to unlockable Bootloader now). Find guide here.
The snapdragon variants (N960X where X denotes carrier/country code like U for US and W for Canada) other than international version are not rootable as of now due to locked bootloader. There's no way to unlock the bootloader safely as of now. Here is a discussion to refer. There are many articles that claim how to root these versions and I recommend you to follow XDA. Can anyone invalidate this?

You have commented the same query on each of my parts. I have already answered you here where the similar discussion is already going on. Let's discuss there and keep this thread clean. Also, the 'why am I posting this' is already described in the Introductory Post.
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
