Help Work Profile Has Taken Over Lockscreen. Any way to unlock?

I looked up the manuals and I don't see a factory default for the pin. That said, my phone isn't asking for a pin. It's asking for a password. That's s just the kind of unlock type I use, even before having this work profile enabled. I have tried my normal password. And every work password I have. Nothing works.

Well, that is not good.
As I said before, I never had this issue with the work profile, and have not heard of it before.

Was this device originally a company phone or your own device?

Did the company actually require you to use the work profile?

These questions are important, as the answers may/may not be relevant as far as how to get your personal data back.

It may sound tacky, but if blame can be assigned to someone besides yourself, you may have ground to stand on.

battery vendor

i mean yeah guess you could do that but if you want the device to be portable then do the method i described

If it is a dead/dying device, then the option of portability is not very viable.

I was under the assumption that we were discussing a device that was not to be used as a everyday driver.

If you remember, the idea was to mearly retrieve data from a device that had a battery that was nonfuctional.

The idea that someone would carry around a device that had a rigged power supply is marginal, at best.

App Inventor Simple Hello World for SMS Access without root?

This is my first time working with Kotlin or Android. I looking to get a very basic Hello World type thing started as a proof of concept of a future app, but need a little basic guidance.

I would like to be able to back up my SMS and my MMS messages. I have found that most applications focus on SMS only, which for me, leaves out many important messages.

I am just looking for a basic proof of concept that I can connect to that database located in the `/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db` without being root.

I was able to, using a PC software BackupTrans, get a local copy of the db using USB debugging, and so I have all my queries written, but would like to know how to access that database, and for extra credit, it would be awesome if it isn't any extra effort to access the files at: `/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/app_parts/` where the images and other multimedia files are at.

So as a for instance, I normally work in C#, so forgive me, if I wanted to run this query, how would I do so?

using (SqliteConnection DatabaseConnection = new SqliteConnection(string.Format(@"Data Source=D:\CodeStuff\MMS_Backup\part\mmssms.db")))
{
DatabaseConnection.Open();
SqliteCommand GetDataCommand =
new SqliteCommand(@"SELECT * FROM(

SELECT DISTINCT datetime(date, 'unixepoch','localtime') as msg_date , text as msg, cl as attachment , ""mms"" as type, msg_box as direction FROM part JOIN pdu ON pdu._id=part.mid
WHERE pdu.thread_id =1011
UNION

SELECT datetime(sms.date/1000, 'unixepoch','localtime') as msg_date ,body as msg, """" as attachment, ""sms"" as type, type as direction
FROM sms
WHERE sms.thread_id = 1011

)
WHERE attachment !=""0.smil"" AND attachment !=""smil.xml""
order by msg_date", DatabaseConnection);
var dbResults = GetDataCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (dbResults.Read()){
}
}

I would like to stay away from rooting the phone because if this works, I would like to make it more accessible to more people, and nobody wants the chance of data loss just to back things up :)

AUB3 update for Global S21 series

If you have the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G or S21+ 5G models, you may want to hold off this AUB3 update with the February Android Security patch.

According to a report from SamMobile...

"All the customer complaints come from people who own the Exynos variant, though it should be stressed that the issue most likely stems from software rather than Samsung’s new hardware. And according to some users, the battery might be draining at an accelerated rate due to an issue with cellular connectivity."

This issue does not appear to affect the Galaxy S21 Ultra according to SamMobile and I can confirm this. from my own experience.

To-date, Samsung has only rolled out this firmware update to their stock, non-carrier, branded firmwares which could indicate that they may either issue a hotfix or wait until the March Android Security patch.

Here is the SamMobile article in full...

Galaxy S21 February security patch is reportedly causing battery life issues

Cannot send or receive photos



Thank you, Hadron. I also think it is a carrier issue. However an employee in Electronics at Walmart told me she had not had this type Tracfone complaint. I did read on another forum that someone had the same experience with tTracfone but it corrected itself after a few days. Will wait and see.
Think problem is solved. I think i needed to purchase additional data from Tracfone .

Cannot log in to any app with Google account.

For some background I'm running Pie rooted on galaxy S9, and its been smooth and fine for the past few weeks until the past couple days where I cannot access Google settings and I cant log in to any app via Google, it crashes http://imgur.com/a/86vRIZ9 like so. I've cleared all Google app caches, removed my Google account and re added its but still not working.
you may need to update google play services and what not

Help might I have a bad tv mainboard or power supply board

Well you could, but it would take time and money. What you describe doesn't sound like a transistor fault, sounds very much like s bad electrolytic cap. From experience transistors either work, or they fail open, or short in various ways. Like if a switching transistor was short in the PSU, it would probably blow fuses.

Do you have a good electronics store near you, or do you have to order components online?
ive got all kinds of components yesterday i replaced all the caps and well kinda works for a bit longer
