so I have setup some user profiles for my family, only to findout that when the tablet is initaiily turned on, my password as the main user is needed, to get into the tablet and the others can then log into the or repsctive user profiles. surely there should be a way to have each user log in, using their own password and user profiles but this does not appear to be the case any suggestions?
Agreed, super annoying.

is this an oversight on their part though?
No idea, Samsung is notorious when it comes to maintaining features barely used.
In android 13 it seems a tiny user profile avatar icon appeared on lock screen. Have you tried pressing that and change to new profile? Maybe it let's you change there so you don't have to unlock yours first.
Hi, can't see that icon on Samsung unfortunately.

Hi yes after the tablet is unlocked for the first time, you can then log into the user profile. However, when the tablet is initialy turned on, it requires the main user log in code, before others can access their own user profiles.
Yes, I feel the same way. After restarting or turning off the tablet, it asks for the Administrator password.

Nah, this feels like negligence.
When One UI 5 was being tested for Phones, the first two beta's had user profiles as well. They removed it saying they had issues with it, and not giving us any detailed info.
The Tabs had it before One UI 5 obviously. It just feels like a feature with low priority on their end, and there are loads of hints. I.e., you can either have two users and one having a secure folder, or three users with out any having secure folder. Don't get me started if you actually need a user with work profile and secure folder too.
It's a poorly implemented feature. All other OS that have multi user support have the ability to bloody allow the user to log in without their sugauser.

Just upgraded to Android 4.3 (stock HTC ROM) and there must be a bug because I can no longer disable the lock screen. I'm not talking about the pin/pattern lock screen but the swipe up to unlock lock screen (with the icons in the bottom). If I go to Settings > Security and chose to disable the lock screen it doesn't make any difference.
Can someone else please confirm that this is a bug before I wipe my phone?
Doesn't look like a bug, looks like HTC is being responsible and not allowing a phone to not have any security on it. Makes sense IMO

Exactly! And when you bundle your favourite apps in groups on the dock you can just swipe up that folder to get access to it. Quite nifty I would say

There's a free app in the market called 'no lock' if you want to bypass the lock screen..

My guess is that they removed a lot of things (in 5.5) because most people didn't even use them or know about them. I don't see why you wouldn't want a lock screen though xD

The thing is that the options is there but doesn't do anything. I have my phone 95% of the time on my desk/table next to me and I just find it unnecessary to unlock with a button and then swipe. Whenever I leave home I have it in a tight case so there is no risk on me touching buttons by misstake.

Oh, I see what you meant above now.. But the point is, for a lot of folks the lock screen is pointless. It's just an uneccesary extra step to get to what you want on your phone. Especially now that most phones have pocket detection so there's no worries of pocket dialing anymore. I personally find it annoying and not at all needed. Just one less thing to waste my time and battery.
I guess i can see the usefulness of it though in some situations, I.E. Nosy girlfriend/boyfriend mainly. Lol

I understand what you're saying, and I don't use any sort of security on my phone, but I'd still prefer to have the slide to unlock as opposed to nothing at all. I suppose it's each to their own but IMO HTC have decided to take the option out to possibly cover themselves from unhappy customers - I dunno...
HTC_001 just got the update and now being forced to have a lock screen when it doesn't add any security seems a waste of time, everyone knows how to unlock a phone so it's not going to stop anyone getting in, the choice should be left up to the end user, default it to on and that should cover them enough. Next they'll force everyone to have a pin to unlock their phone.
No Lock app works fine and the fact 1-5mill people have downloaded it shows that they have made a mistake here.
No lock, no thanks
Works awful. Just used it for about 5 minutes and it made my phone behave erratically. Seeing as it hasn't been updated for years, it's no surprise. Good luck with it...couldn't even launch apps from the notifications screen without it loading the home screen, locking it and then turning the screen off. Disabled it and then removed it and all is right again on my phone.
Why not accept peoples wish
No lock works fine - and about the security issues people have here:
I never lock my phone with a pattern, pin, code or something.
If you keep sensitive data on it - your fault. You know that it is public if it is on your phone (as we learned from the NSA).
If you don't, leaving your phone unlocked gives you at least the chance that if you loose it and an honest person finds it, he or she will be able to return it to you by contacting "Mum" or "Sweety" from the Contacts. An unhonest person would simply factory-reset it. Right?

You obviously don't program. And it's great that it works for you, however it is apparent from the thread and the comments in the play store that the app has issues. The app certainly doesn't work for me on multiple devices. So I could certainly ask for more, seeing that it simply doesn't work reliably at all in my testing. But since it looks to be abandoned it's not something I expect. That's not a big deal for me at all because it's an app I simply tried but not one I plan on using.

Do you have Lux installed? Anything that draws over your screen screws with that kind of thing (I had the same error yesterday).
I don't know the exact answer, but perhaps this will help narrow it down:
Settings/Apps/cog top right > Configure apps/Draw over other apps - this lists the ones that have the permission to draw over the app you're using.

It's not an error. It's a feature to prevent tapjacking.

Example: You're trying to enter credit card info into Android Pay while you have a screen dimmer app running. The dimmer app dims the screen by drawing an overlay. When you're entering the info, you're actually interacting with the overlay. A malicious app could record the touches and capture the info.

Oh yes - I would be very interested. I just have to wait for another 1-2 months until my car (A4) with AA/CarPlay support will be delivered.
Unfortunately I am not a developer but I'd be one of your first supporters and I will gladly test anything you guys develop .
Since Android Auto has a lot of limitations, an exposed module would be the best way to get rid of them.
Not a lot of replies. Looks like there are still not enough people who have Android Auto . We'll have to wait until it catches on I guess.
yes - I think so, too. But I am also still hoping, that manos78 will start the development anyway
Absolutely. For example here maps for Android Auto would be awesome
would also love to see some android auto mods
Me too !
Let me know if I can help by anyway
I'm interested.
I've got a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX on the way, so I'll be looking at doing some Xposed work, depending on what functionality is missing. Not everything can be done via Xposed (like making Waze work over AA), but it would be good to get an idea of what sort of additional functionality people are looking for on the AA platform.

I still have my NEX on my workbench, so I can test this out later tonight. I believe it's in the AA SDK, so that individual apps don't have to determine if the vehicle is in motion or not. Shouldn't be too hard to work around.
Here's a request:
Would like to manage what apps show up on Android Auto (headunit)
For example, sideloaded apps currently do not show up

Ran into a weird problem trying to install this ROM. I chose a pin for security but it still asked for permission for app to access the camera and I chose to deny it. I don't want any apps taking pictures and I don't use facial recognition. It then brought up a screen saying permissions were needed but gave no way to get past that screen. It seems I'd have to reflash the ROM and start over. But if the only way to use the ROM is to give it permission to take pictures, then I don't want it.

Face Unlock seems to be bugged so even if you do give it the permission, it won't do anything. Here's how I got past it:
Choose Face Unlock + pin, then skip the pin entry, it'll then not ask about face unlock.
It'll then ask to set up google assistant. Unfortunately, you have to accept, it'll loop otherwise. You can turn it off later and remove it's permissions, which is what I did after the fact.

To be honest, i've never tried legion. I've tried Lineage and wasn't happy with the customization compared to the Havoc on my phone. It's not that big of a difference between the two beyond the customizations and the pixel aesthetic of havoc vs AOSP of lineage.

Hello everybody! Suddenly i have no more sound feedback (like writing on real paper) in screen off memo and in notes. Yesterday i have this sound feedback when writing on locked screen. Now, without changing any settings, i have not. I only have sound feedback in writing on screenshots. In advanced settings- s pen i have sound enabled for removing--attaching s pen and for screen write. What gives?
Any updates or new/uninstalled apps?
Try clearing the system cache. Try a hard reboot.
Thank you for your resonse. But how to clear the cache?
You're welcome.
It's on the boot menu on Samsung's.
It sometimes cures bizarre behaviors. I clear it about once a month or after major installs/uninstalls.

You're the one best qualified to find it. Cause and effect. The last things that were changed before it stopped working. This is one reason you don't allow auto updates, one less variable.
Sampling apps can cause big problems even after the app is uninstalled. I've seen it with a Google reading app. Rare but it happens. Best practice to install apks/version you previously vetted only.
Try in safe mode...
This has just happened to me too. Trying to figure out a fix.
One clue
I have a Galaxy Tab S8 plus. I'm suffering this problem as well. It happens to me several days ago, after updating both the OS and the stores. I'm also actively looking for a fix.
Scribble/writing sound only works in Handwriting (when you write in a box and the software converts it to text) or when S Pen to text is in use (only when in given text fields). None of the drawing or note-taking applications produces the sound, regardless of the settings. Obviously I checked the tables is not in do not disturb mode, silence or vibration only. Additionally, I double-checked the S Pen sound is on.

What I learned over the last decade about Samsung firmware* upgrades/updates, they tend to break things.
Rule #1- if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! Anything from Pie and above is reasonably secure in actual use without updates or upgrades if you don't do stupid things.
If worse comes to worst as long as the boot loader wasn't upgraded too (Samsung does that double whammy sometimes) you can roll it back.
Eventually... Samsung will probably patch it.
* includes Buds+ and other Samsung bt devices as well, last firmware upgrade degraded the sound quality of one pair I have If you have a pair don't upgrade the firmware. Last version shipped from the factory runs A-OK.

Don't know. Not reassuring though
Before you side load anything scan with online Virustotal first. If there's any doubts delete that apk. It's not worth the risk.
