It happened AFTER the update to MM my guest mode does not work, it gives me no options to set up guest mode when i click guest mode it switches to guest mode directly. (previously it allowed me to setup completely with apps and all that) but now nothing no questions asked and if i switch more between guest and owner account or add a user my play store starts giving FC
than i am forced to do a factory reset.
Please if anyone can help me to fix it or is there a way to disable it. I will be very appreciative.
Thanks

You may have to reflash, it's working fine on mine. Are you trying to log in to your google account which is also associated with your other user account? Perhaps that could be causing the issue. When I swap to guest it also does not have a setup option, it merely switches straight to the other user. I also remember once upon a time I had problems with the guest account when I had disabled apps on my main user account. Check if you have disabled some things. Particularly for me it was disabling the clock and home launcher apps which caused force reboots when trying to swap to the guest profile.
:good: but what do you exactly mean when you say "You may have to reflash" Am i to reflash the complete KDZ or Flash GAPPs please elaborate, because the play store keeps giving FC's in the guest mode. I have done a complete KDZ install twice. Yes there was setup wizard disabled in the System apps which i enabled but still it's the same.
Can you confirm if you see playstore in guest mode in your device? My understanding of G3 Guest Mode implementation in MM says that it should not show up in guest mode like I see other options restricted, like setting and all that but the play store error is annoying.

Hey guys just fot this tablet Monday, unrooted fresh out the box, it will download apps for a bit them get hung up and stop downloading and eventually show this error. Ive googled it and tried all the tricks that include clearing data im gp app/gp services/ framework. Unlinked my google account, rebooted etc.
2 strange things i noticed.
- my htc m8 on the same nerwork has never had these issues
-I haven't had this happen at my work network
I returned my tab S from Monday, now the new one does it too. I have a brand new Asus RT-AC68U beast of a wifi router. It briefly downloaded some apps once i took down the firewall, then errored out again...
I dunno what else to do i want to keep this tablet I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!
perhaps this workaround can help you:
on your pc you can install the chrome browser extension APK Downloader , then when you go to play store, you have an extra button download apk next to the app (all on pc in chrome browser) , once you downloaded the apk you can copy it to the tablet and install it.
Make sure that once you have copied the apk to your device you have enabled "unknown sources" in the settings or else it won't allow you to manually install an apk.
Whenever I have encountered an issue like this in the past I have Odin flashed the device to the latest stock firmware and then during the set up process, made sure that every minute detail entered is correct (or bypass google account installation and wifi connection and install them after the device start up).
Hmm thanks for the suggestions guys. Come to find out my m8 has this issue now so it must be router related somehow...
I too took down firewall of router, saved new settings, rebooted router, turned router off for 5 mins, turned it back on. Restarted lg g3 and then it worked for me. No more Error 495!
So I noticed the new guest mode icon on my lockscreen so I loaded up the guest and found a few strange things.
1) cerberus will not locate, alarm, ect when the device is in guest mode UNLESS it is installed as a system app. so unless you are rooted in lollipop you can't install it as a system app and once in guest mode it is lost to you. no locating, no erasing, nothing.
2) android device manager also will not locate the tablet when in guest mode. apparently you aren't logged into your account so it can't find it, ring it, erase it either.
3) guest mode cannot be removed, or disabled unless you are rooted
4) guest account seems totally unrestricted. if you want a restricted account you can make one BUT guest account remains available, meaning if you want to deny your kid internet access or whatever, all they have to do is choose the guest account and your restrictions are void.
can anyone confirm or deny any of my observations?
hi
how can i delete or disable guest user?
i set a pass for this user but when i switch user. in lock screen device ask: do you want to reset user profile and when i push yes button than password of this user is now gone.
whit this situation anybody can access to my data.
i have
p601 5.1.1 rooted
I don't think you'd want to completely delete the guest user. I had 'disabled' the guest user I thought and the guest user was invaluable to me, just today. I'm running a rooted SM-P607T and I had an issue were my lock screen pin was no longer recognized and I was locked out of the device. I was able to log onto the guest user account and with the help of various tools was able to repair the lock screen pin were I could again use the device with my account...and not have to flash everything on the device.
The Guest account was a life saver and if it used by a normal user has no rights to do any damage what-so-ever.
So I saw on this reddit post that there was a way to get DayDream on a Nexus 5X by editing an XML document in the system permissions folder.
I'd post the link to the Reddit Page, but XDA is being a stickler about links for new accounts...
Just search "Reddit Daydream Nexus 5x" and you should be able to find it.
I decided to try it out and what I THINK I did was screw up the formatting in the XML document and when I restarted the phone, the google app keeps crashing. I tried a factory reset, didn't fix it. Not only that, I kinda screwed myself over because the factory reset shut off the USB Debugging in the developer settings. Now when I try to use ADB to reflash the stock ROM, it won't connect.
I was able to access the drop down menu and get to the settings, but when I try to access the developer settings it crashes.
I think I'm screwed, but I want to know if there's any other option to fixing this. I really need help guys...
I got a new A70 SM-A705FN/DS. I started to set it up but I don't want a Google Account and I don't want to transfer from another phone.
After checking for update it ask for copy or Don't copy, I say don't. Then I get "Couldn't sign in there was a problem communicating with Google servers Try again later"
Is there a way to bypass it?
On Youtube there are some videos but very hard to understand, only for "Android pro" users.
Any help on howto and explanation what is "Google lock" FRP welcome.
Edit: After reading, a lot of people have this issue but all I have seen are in a reset or previously used phone. I am setting up a new phone with the wizard.
Moreover I'd like to add that the phone is connected to Internet by WIFI (check update without issue) and there is not a SIM card in it.
Thanks
