Samsung Knox and AT&T's failure to deliver

The Galaxy S4 is supposed to come with Samsung Knox, a security suite that helps to keep your device safe.  Every single carrier, minus AT&T, has a very simply way to enable this.  However, on AT&T, it is near impossible to enable.  This feature alone would be why large corporations would choose an iPhone over a Galaxy S4.  If AT&T isn't going to release this feature, they are essentially forcing their biggest customers to purchase iPhones.  [Edited to comply with Guidelines].
AT&T, how do you enable Samsung Knox?

After going through my application manager and taking a look at the permissions this KNOX Security service has on my phone, I'm extremely upset that there is absolutely no way to manage what it does or how it operates.  It can read/edit my texts? It can make phone calls and even send messages without the host knowing? 
Even more disturbing is the fact that I came to know about this forum topic because of a redirected thread edited by an AT&T moderator; however, there has not been a single response or acknowledgment of this issue by AT&T on this thread. 
This is a huge fumble for AT&T and I am curious if anybody would be interested if I got a lawyer.  You can't push and update to someones phone that has a 'security feature' built in that lacks any user oversight. Especially when such feature has absoulute permissions over your device. 
If AT&T doesn't respond or acknowlege this issue I will be forced[Edited to comply with Guidelines]I've updated my phone and now have a device that I cannot trust nor control.

  • Firefox for Android v34 and v35 are crashing immediately on second opening in Samsung KNOX 2.0 and above.

    Within a proof of concept situation we figured out that only freshly installed Firefox versions (v34 and v35) are running fine in a Samsung KNOX container. We are running Android 4.4.2 with KNOX 2.1 on a Samsung S5 device. We are using MobileIron 7.5 for provisioning the devices and configuring the container.
    The behavior is as follows:
    1. Open KNOX container
    2. Open Firefox within the container
    3. Everything works fine without any problems (expected behavior). Intranet and Internet sites can be opened without any limitations.
    4. Close Firefox completely (by multitasking screen)
    5. Open Firefox again
    6. Firefox crashes without any error message
    After setting Firefox to factory settings by deleting all app data (with "System Info for Android" App because the "original" app setting is not available within the container) Firefox behaves like described under 3.
    Unfortunately I do only have adb logs because the original Firefox logs can't be exported via USB out of the KNOX container as far as I know. If you have any ideas I would be really thankful for any advice. "about:crashes" can't be used as well because Firefox can't be opened after the first crash and has to be reset (including deleting all logs) by setting it to default.
    Outside the KNOX container Firefox works well.
    It seems that all KNOX 2.0 and above versions show the same behavior with Firefox which means that Firefox can't be used in a KNOX 2.x container.
    We already opened a case at Samsung as well.

    ...this is the rest of the log

  • My Samsung Galaxy S4 constantly having DNS failure

    My Samsung Galaxy S4 started having DNS failure along with some other problems...  Verizon replaced my phone...  Now my new phone is having the same DNS failure very often.  I can restart my phone, but this happens many times a day so that is ridiculous to have to restart constantly.  I know I am in a service area when I have this problem.  How can I resolve this problem?

        GSDDino
    We definitely want to make sure your phone's errors stop and you're up and running at 100%! Did this start right away on your replacement? Any of the same apps installed? Try placing the phone into Safe Mode and test if the error continues. Here's how: http://vz.to/1qr41d3

  • Samsung Knox Encryption Software not available

    I have a Note 3 and I've been told by Verizon’s Technical Support in a conference call with Samsung Technical Support that Samsung Knox app is not supported Verizon Network. It supposed to be released sometime in the future. My friends works on T-Mobile. Has any got it to work?

    HAHA! I am glad to know that even the support techs on Verzion's end do not know what they are talking about. Here have this a gander:
    https://support.samsungknox.com/entries/26275327-How-is-Samsung-KNOX-loaded-onto-a-device-
    "Currently, Samsung KNOX comes preloaded on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition)."
    I hope they have a litigation plan.

  • Availability of Update to Windows Intune for Samsung KNOX Standard

    I don't understand how Windows Intune supports Samaung KNOX ? KNOX is also a MDM solution, and its security features that enable business and personal content to coexist on the same handset. How to enroll the Samsung KNOX device? Via KNOX
    APP or Company Portal from Google Play? BTW, do these two MDM Solution, Windows Intune and Samsung KNOX, exist at same time on the same handset?　Could someone give some ideas?

    Intune simply takes over and manages the KNOX layer, it does not add anything to KNOX enabled devices. The COmpany Portal App is just that, a app that enables registration and enrollment of the device and facilitiates the management of the KNOX layer.
    This is similar to what happens on other devices including iOS and WP8 where the MDM/management layer is already built into the device.

  • Have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone

    have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
    The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • I just bought apple tv and would like to set it up for my family for christmas.  i have a samsung tv and yamaha receiver.  where do i plug in  hdmi?  i assume into receiver but not sure.  also, plug is on back of receiver so much get behind all equipment

    i just bought apple tv and would like to set it up so it works right away.  i have samsung tv and yamaha receiver.  do i plug hdmi into receiver?  i assume plugs are in back of machined so i have to get behind all electronic equipment?  does that make sense?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your receiver is connected to your TV by HDMI and has a spare HDMI input port, then yes plug the HDMI cable from the Apple TV into your receiver.
    If that's not possible the HDMI lead from the Apple TV can go straight to the TV and you can connect the receiver to the Apple TV with an optical audio cable.

  • I am trying to set up my Apple TV to a Samsung TV and the TV is not recognizing it.  I rebooted, turned everything off, unplugged it, what am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to set up an Apple TV to a Samsung TV and the Samsung TV does not recognize it.  I tried unplugging everything and rebooting, but nothing is working.  What's the trick? thanks

    If it's 'going to regular programming' then you are not navigating to the right input. You need to use your Samsung remote to switch the input to whichever HDMI port the Apple TV is connected to, refer to your manual if unsure.
    To make sure it's secure means the cable has to be completely plugged in on both ends, if you can pull it out easily then that means it's loose.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:

  • How do you save a PDF fillable form with a Samsung Tablet and still continue to have access to the original document?

    We are using the Samsung Note and have uploaded a PDF form for fieldwork crews to enter vegetation data. When we have filled in the form there is no option to save the form under a different name but rather the form simply saves itself with the most recent information placed in it. We understand that you can send it through Acrobat.com to your account but the tablet will not access this site while in the PDF app. Does anyone know of an app or a way that we can create individually saved files and still have access to the original on the tablet?

    It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

    I have a new Samsung phone and I live in CT. Last month they charged me $38 on my bill for the sales tax for the new phone which was $600. I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each.  Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge. I can't  believe that the monthly CT tax is higher than the payment for the phone itself. Does this make sense. Last time I spoke with them on the phone it was for 1 1/4 hours for something simple. I don't want to call unless I need to. The salesman told me nothing about any of this. Thank you for any help you can offer.

    The bill from last month states:
    CT state sales tax**     $38.10
    ** In some states sales tax or surcharges are calculated on the full cost of the full retail price or VZW cost of the device you purchased and not on the discounted price you pay. The sales tax or surcharges charged on your device was based on $599.99 and appears on this first bill.
    The current bill says the same.
    Actually, now I'm realizing that last month's bill stated I was making the first payment toward the phone. Now this month also says it's the first payment toward the phone when it's really the second.
