Screen lock: none - disabled by remote phone administrator? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So just yesterday I decided to put a pin on my lockscreen, and today I decided that its a bit too annoying for me to keep, so I tried removing it. However, it then gave me this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've looked around for solutions, and most seem to point to corporate accounts linked to their phone. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to me as I'm just a university student. I did try rebooting my phone, and removing my uni email in case that had anything to do with it, but it didn't change anything. I'm on KE7, vodafone uk and my phone is rooted.
Anyone else have this problem?

Check your Settings->Location & Security->Select Device Administrators and uncheck any administrators.

Hello,
I am facing the same problem, i just flashed to a custom ROM 2.2.1 and now i can only access my email when i disable swipe.
The solution to remove the admin allows me to enable it again; however it disallows access to my email!!!
Is there anyway to keep it how it was before? Swipe + email at the same time?
Thanks,
Achraf

[Help]Sync won't stay unchecked

Anyone else getting the issue .. when I uncheck sync in settings.. it checks its self ... no matter how many times I uncheck it ... it always checks its self back up again.
Had this same issue on bionix-v 1.2
I'm on flagship4 now..
Any solutions?
Wipe out dalvik cache thru recovery if that doesn't work Odin back. Then reflash.
I don't think people would like to help u if you post in develop section.
You would get more answer in q&a section.

I have before in the past and got no results..
This is the reason why I posted it here.
I cant reproduce this. Which sync box are you trying to uncheck? Is the apps auto sync button still ticked while you are un-ticking a specific account?

It's the auto sync button.. the one below background data..
I'm on Eugene's 35 kernel.. starting to wonder if it might be that.
Don't see how the kernel would relate to this specific sync issue
I'm on flagship and it always rechecks tmobile contacts in display options. I don't even know why they were added in the first place but yeah they eventually show again. Wont allow me to remove that account either. Sync itself stays off tho. Well the box stays unchecked I should say.

Delete the apk, it's completely useless. As for sync enabling itself again..I have no issues whatsoever, but I deleted the tmo apk.

[Q] Samsung Dive

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

[Q] Can anyone help me stop this??

I have been desperately attempting to keep Google Maps from writing down every place I go!
I have checked all the "don't share my location" type boxes. This is deeper than that.
Check these screen shots.

Can anyone recommend a way to STOP google maps from running, unless I specifically open the app myself?

You can freeze the application and unlock it when you need
im in the same boat. if rooted use gemini app manager to stop it from autostarting.

Download an app killer loads of free ones on the market
Should close the app permanently unless you specifically open it
Then to close it just open the app killer thing again and close down google maps using that
Freezing would be a better option, killing it doesn't deny it from restarting later.
After you've disabled in autostart, it wont autostart anymore.. unless there's an app starting it...
have you check htc setting? there is one option that you can view your phone online...

Cant disable lock screen security

Hi, i put the fingerprint scan on my lock screen to show someone and now i cant disable it, as in I cant go back to not having any kind of lock, or just a swipe. I tried using the pattern lock and no luck. I use my phone for music in the car and i hate having to unlock it. I have never needed a lock for my phone before. Attached is a pic of the screen.

Go to settings, sound and display, then lock screen and change your lock screen security settings.
Figured it out. I deleted all credentials and came back.

Infected with malware via chrome

Hey guys.
When I was exploring the Internet via chrome my phone has been infected. The new tab opened by itself, phone started to vibrate and page said that my phone is infected and that I should download Antivirus (but this page was similar to other pages with slogans "YOU WON 100K$ CLICK HERE etc.) so I ignored it. Now after every call (only then) Clean Master is saying that I already installed "Games " so I can delete apk file. Sometimes I press YES or sometimes I press No and sometimes it appear on desktop as game (last time it was yahoo logo) sometimes it doesn't. Clean Master Says That is malware with ".bf" extension. I tried every AV, even Avast didn't find anything. I tried also looking for this file by my self but no results (CM Antivirus also find nothing) . (gonna add name of virus for better tagging)
NAME OF VIRUS:
Android .Troj.tb_downloader.bf

I think that is ads... Btw to be safe you can always format your phone, be sure backup your data and contacts.. If you are rooted use adblocking software.. If not use browser which supports adblocking features..there are many in playstore
