(I hope this question is on topic here, because it isn't on superuser) Recently my Chromecast HD upgraded to Android TV 14, and since then, I cannot open the *Settings* > *Accounts and Profiles* page. It simply says: > ! Not available > Error loading page I logged off and on, but that did not change anything. How can I find out what's going wrong, or even better, fix it?

Is there any way to switch Chrome profiles while using the Chrome mobile phone app?

The command: settings put global http_proxy ip : port Affects all user profile. Based on this answer looks like this proxy setting is stored at: /data/system/users//settings_global.xml I wonder if is possible somehow to specify the http_proy per user. Something like: user0 http_proxy ip1:port user1 http_proxy ip2:port user2 http_proxy ip3:port etc What I'm trying to achieve is find a way to have a same application running in different profiles to have different ip's. user 0 apk "abc" ip 1 user 1 apk "abc" ip 2 user 2 apk "abc" ip 3 I'm using Android12, and I have root access.

I recently moved from Hangouts to Messenger as my default SMS app. The profile letter icon against the messages I send is showing to be incorrect (letter 'S' instead of 'R' which shows up on other Google apps that I use). I have since changed my Google profile picture but even that does not show up, 'S' persists. I am not sure if this is a bug or if my account has been compromised. Any help to figure this out?

I can't find up to date info on this. Old advice doesn't work on newer androids and family link app. I'm on Android 13. I'm finding it hard setting up a child profile and using FL app in general a huge PITA. I even had to call Google and hard reset the tablet at one point! Current issue is I have child using my own profile whilst I try to sort out theirs. So they have apps on my profile. I want an easy way to transfer these apps (or allow permission or whatever method) to allow them to use certain (their) apps on their profile without them having to access my profile and without me having to manually download and authorise each app one by one to their profile. It really should be intuitive as it's an obvious thing to want to do. But it isn't. In general as I said I find FL app and Android settings in general not intuitive to use. I don't find that the settings or FL app menu "titles" direct you properly to what you want to do. Eg can't find it in "apps" or "permissions" or "parental controls" all of which would be good places to put an "allow *child profile* access to app" or "transfer apps between profiles" button/slider/menu 🙄 Many thanks for any help. Edit:removed follow up question

Is there any reason that AOSP is limited to Home (default) and a [Work profile](https://developer.android.com/work/managed-profiles) ? Is it possible to compile AOSP for n-profiles? Or to add another profile with Magisk?

I have a client that wants me to use an Authenticator App that I _already_ use for work **AND** home. Currently I'm using [Shelter](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/) to provide work and home, but it's limited to those two "profiles". The functionality provided is fine, but I need _something_ that provides more profiles or units of isolation? Is there any work around? Magisk is allowed. The phone is also rooted.

Where can I find a table that compares what information is and is-not accessible from an Android app with various isolation methods? I need to install a piece of malware on my Android device. This is definitely a very dangerous app that was designed by someone powerful, malicious, and actively trying to attack me. I don't want them to learn anything about my device, and I definitely don't want their app to see any data on my device or be able to interact with other apps or files on the device (even with an accidental tap caused by me clicking something after the app spawned maliciously-timed INTENT). On desktop, I use QubesOS. So I have no issue running and playing with malware. I just fire-up a new DispVM, and I'm very confident that it's isolated. Android, however, leaks so much info to apps that I'm not sure how best to go about this. I've considered a few isolation methods: 1. Do nothing (default app "sandboxing"), 1. Install in a Work Profile (eg [Insular](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.oasisfeng.island.fdroid/)) , 1. Install in a new User Profile, 1. Buy (and install it on) a second phone, or 1. Something even better? Is there any table that lists all of the data that is made available to apps that are compartimienalized with each of these methods?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G. The wrong contact was accidentally selected when setting the "My profile" section in setting up the phone. This is in the Contacts app, and not the Settings. I can't find a way to correct this. Help! How can I fix it?

How can I change which user profile is the "owner" profile? Possible? Running 4.4.2.

In Android Marshmallow, does the user profile picture get synced anywhere? If yes, where can I find it, somewhere in G+ maybe? By profile picture I mean this (image copied from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/android-5-0-lollipop-user-profile-photo-t2939546)

Android device ID is changed with factory reset. Android 10+ no longer allows to track IMEI and serial number. Are there any other identifiers that can be used to detect if somebody used the same device twice using different e-mail?

How can I modify the permissions of my Android's secondary profile/user to be able to create & manage a WiFi hotspot on the device? I'm running Android 11 (LineageOS). I have a secondary user that I would like to be able to manage the hotspot. However, when I navigate to Settings -> Network & Internet -> Hotspot & tethering, I see the following error message: > Tethering settings are not available for this user. I also have the credentials for the primary user profile. I also have root on this device. How can I modify the permissions of this secondary user profile such that they can create and manage the hotspot settings on the handset?

I work on the third shift, so I sleep during the day. But I get calls all day long, so I shut my ringer off. I would like to be able to allow a couple of phone numbers that can ring through no matter what. Using Google Voice to do this won't work because I get calls directly to my cell number as well as to Google Voice. How to set a profile that only allows selected calls through?

This is Android 12 on a Google Pixel 5a. I've got a secondary user profile set up and I've enabled SMS/calls for it. When logged in to the secondary profile, when I send an SMS to the phone, I get a notification, but clicking it takes me to the Messages app, where it does not appear in the list of messages. If I search for the message, it does appear in the search results and I can go to that conversation. But I can't get it to appear in the main list. It does work fine when I use the main admin profile. I've tried rebooting and clearing the cache for the Messages app.

Currently, I have a family use tablet running on 4.2 Jellybean Model is [Ainol Novo7 Flame](http://www.ainol-novo.com/ainol-novo-7-flame-dual-core-1-5ghz-7-inch-1280-800-ips-screen-android-tablet.html) , a cheap Nexus7 alternative. Nexus7 is quite expensive in my country on its release so I bought this one instead. The problem is that the tablet is shared. I already set-up multi-user profiles for each of us. 1. Family mode 2. My mode 3. My sister's mode The default user set is family but I want it to automatically switch user-profiles based on the entered password or pattern lock. example: password 1358 triggers My mode while entering 2467 triggers My sister's mode profile I would also like to have an option to lock certain apps automatically when in family mode but unlocked in My mode Is there a way to do this? or is there an app that can closely do some of it?

I've had a work profile setup and working flawlessly for a year or so using my work e-mail. Yesterday I realized I had been signed out of my work's Slack which was not installed on my work profile but had worked fine until the last week or so. I attempted to sign back into slack and it seemed like Google was attempting to create a new work profile for my existing work e-mail, and I was unable to auth properly so the sign-in failed. I stopped the process, uninstalled Slack, reinstalled it on my work profile, signed in and everything seemed fine. The problem I'm having now is that every hour I get a notification ding that "Account action required" for my work e-mail account. Clicking on that gives me a notice that says "Can't add work profile". After clicking on it, the notification disappears and then I get notified again a minute later. Things I've Tried: - Turning off, waiting, and turning back on notifications for Google Play Services - Rebooting - Clearing Google Play Services cache All give me the notification within 30 seconds after completion. It seems like a bad idea to permanently disable notifications for Google Play Services, so I'm hoping for a less drastic option that also doesn't require deleting my existing work profile. Any ideas for how I can stop being constantly bugged by this notification?

Modern Android devices (Android 13) show the username in the About screen: But with no obvious way of changing it. This name is also shown in the "Accounts and Passwords" screen as a heading for the accounts tied to the user but again, with no obvious way of changing the value. How is this field changed?

I used to use an app called quick profiles on my old phone, but can't find this or anything similar on the play store for my new phone. I used it to switch between different profiles for night home and work. It would change the screen brightness, volume, and vibrate setting for each profile. Anyone know of something similar that's still available today?

I'm using 2 user profiles on my Android 12: 1 for my work apps, 1 for my personal apps. Recently I installed an app for my home security on my personal profile. Whenever my cameras recognize somebody (mailman, intruder etc.) I receive an notification in that app. However, at work I use my work profile, so I won't get any notifications from apps from my personal profile. 1. Is it possible to allow notifications from different user profiles, so that I get a notification from my security app from my personal profile, while using my work profile? 2. Is it possible to make my security app available for both profiles, without installing and setting it up twice?
