Under device maintainence, there is a device security button that says deactivated.
On my old Note 7, I remember clicking it (the "device security" button) and it switched to activated. I was unable to deactivate it afterwards.
What's the point of this?
How do I deactivate it ?
I haven't clicked the device security button under device maintainence on my new note 7 this time.....because I don't want to activate any unnecessary thing running in the background.
Theres usually a button in the same page that says activate.
Any way to deactivate after activation?
My security is deactivated

I cannot enable remote wipe via Android Device Manager. When I try, I get to the screen where I am prompted to activate Android Device Manager as a phone administrator. When I press activate I am returned to the Android Device Manager screen with the box remaining unchecked.
The problem is that the phone will not allow ADM to gain administrative rights. If I go to security settings, phone administrators, I see ADM in there unchecked. But I cannot check it.
I am using the fingerprint scanner for security. I am wondering whether there is a glitch that if you use fingerprint security it will not allow ADM to enable itself as a phone administrator. Doesn't make sense.
I want to be able to remote wipe the phone but cannot enable the feature.
Ideas?
This has been resolved with a factory reset (in case anyone else runs into it)
Hi Guys,
My OnePlus 3 ist rooted, open Bootloader + TWRP.
Oxygen OS 3.2.4 is running. First time I used the device, encryption was offered to me - so I set it up.
I than used the phone for about 2 months, always had to enter a Passphrase when I rebootet.
I noticed, that if I use TWRP I can browse through my personal files without entering any credentials.
System-Preferences says: "Phone Encrypted".
Do you have any suggestions for me?
I´ve found the solution by myself.
Anyone who is having the same issue, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/questions-encryption-unlocked-op3-t3427360/page2
You have to set up the display security again and activate the checkbox "PIN/Passphrase is needed to start the device".
Did they remove this feature from the 6P? Not seeing it anywhere in settings.

Interesting. If I power cycle my phone it asks me for a password. After I enter that it will allow me to use fingerprint. I did a transfer from a Galaxy S6 that required a password after reboot. I wonder that setting carried over.
I've set my phone up as a new device with a PIN and fingerprint set up. When I reboot the device I am asked for a password when it switches back on.
I beloved Nougat is using direct boot where it boots into the OS but until you enter your login info the device status fully encrypted. After you boot the Pixel or Pixel XL and log into the device after reboot you notice it takes a few moments for everything to show up, that's because it's decrypting the device.

settings > security > screen lock
select either PIN, or password to bring up the option to enable it on boot.
OK password forgotten you still can use the device, but you'll need a smartphone with mobile data and turn on the "Mobile hotspot". on the checking for software updates a.s.a.p. turn off the mobile hotspot it will say could not connect
UPDATE 1. for those who do not have access to hotspot. be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem.
agree to the next prompts it will ask you if you want to set up security create a 4-digit PIN i suggest 1234. After you create the 4-digit PIN, you turn off the tablet and turn it on again.
When the tablet is on again and "Enter PIN" appears, don't worry if you don't see the camera icon on the display. What you need is the USER icon (what I mean is that "human face" icon which is located on the TOP RIGHT CORNER). Click that "human face" icon, then you'll see "Add user" so click on that "Add user". Follow through as a new user, you'll need to create a Samsung account or if you have one already you'll need to log into your Samsung account. UPDATE 2. I SKIPPED THIS ACCOUNT SETUP.
UPDATE 3. You'll have 2 users, you will not be able to erase the first one.
now you have access to storage place the this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...FRP_REMOVE.apk
to downloads run the app on install.
full tool here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...pps Full.zip
go back to users first user owner tap it you will log in to that account it will say set up tablet drag the notification bar down software update smart switch ignore it enable WiFi connect to any one you can then tap setup tablet follow i will ask for a password i skipped it and got in and went to settings now i had access to backup and reset full wipe done smile
Thanks to everyone who has worked on this i have updated these instructions Originally Posted by dama0002

FYI again for those who done have access to hotspot be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem timing is important.
i hope it helps
I just got one of these from a friend of mine who did a factory reset on it before he gave it to me, and now it asks me to login to a previously used account. Unfortunately, he's terrible at remembering his login information, and he doesn't remember his password for the account he had on this anymore. He doesn't need it because he bought an IPad and doesn't use his google account anymore. So now it's stuck on the login screen. I've looked around and I couldn't find a way to bypass the FRP that I felt I could trust, or that seemed to apply to my device. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could do this?
Well, I didn't figure out how to get rid of the reset protection. But, I did get into the settings and was able to set up and use a guest account.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I don't know if there's any way from the guest account to reset the account lock, but at least it's something.
I tried this and got as far as to the part where you said to "click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar."
That multi-window button is greyed out for me so I cannot click on it. LG must of patched it up or I am doing something incorrect.
Any other advise will be greatly appreciated!
It's possible it was patched out. They've been fixing little exploits with patches. This is the only way I was able to get any access to the device. All I can really recommend is to try everything. Check every menu, every option, and see if there is opening you can find to get access to the device.

I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.
