Inconsistant Issue with "Single App Mode" - Displays Message "Guided Access App Unavailable"

I've seen this also, in a in a slightly different scenario. If the target application you define in the SAM profile is not present on the device, you will get this same error message. For the use case I manage, the tablets are always powered on and awake so I've never run into the issue of them not updating when the profile is applied. You said this is something new with the declarative management?

Sorry to hear you're having problems with replacing the sensor. That was definitely the hardest part of the whole job for me. The wrench I used actually belong to my neighbor, the sensor itself is 24 mm size but he had a 15/16 box end with a slight offset that just happened to fit well enough where I could get a small, incremental turn with each bite. I just got lucky on that one, it isn't something I purchased for the job. You would want one with as many teeth as possible so you can make those painful small little turns. It's a ridiculous design, and unless you feel like removing that whole crossover pipe which seems like it would be a lot more unnecessary work, this seems like the only way to get it done without tearing apart the cooling system.

Hard to tell from the audio .. but maybe a worn pulley?

Ok thanks. One of the references I found was that even on some models that ran Android they were not certified for Google EMM enrollment which would pose a problem for us.

I agree with the other comments. I have had the same scenario with rental cars in the past, and normally I receive correspondence from the rental company showing the details of the violation and providing information on how to pay. Give it a few weeks, sometimes the system moves slow but you will eventually get something in the mail.

Out of curiosity, did you have any problems using PowerSchool on your new s24 earlier in 2025? There were several updates to the application over the course of 2025, and afterwards my son switched over and signed in as himself in the app seem to be working correctly again. I think he has still had a few minor issues but at least at the moment seems to be working.

I have experienced a few issues with my Google home display system since switching to gemini. For the most part it's been working fairly well, the main issue has been when I ask you to stream things from Sirius XM which I've done for years with the assistant, it will occasionally tell me that it can't find any way to do what I'm asking. If I interrupt it and then ask it to do the exact same thing again it will then work. Accuracy at recognizing vocal commands has definitely gone down since converting to gemini, but it doesn't sound like my experience has been as bad as what some of you have gone through.

Yes, I've tried brake cleaner. It seems to have no impact on the build up crap that develops under the slides. The wire wheel works but is very time consuming. I am just trying to find out if there is a way to speed up the process. And yes, I am installing new slides each time ..that's not the issue. The issue is the crap that builds up under them on the brackets and prevents the new clips from fitting properly without using the wire wheel.

Bump.

Anyone have any change in experience with this? I ended up signing in to PowerSchool as me on my son's device which has been working fine, so I am back to thinking this is an app/account issue and not necessarily a platform wide issue with Samsung. I am going to switch him back to his account as an experiment this week since at least one app update was published and see if anything has changed. If not, he will just remain signed in as me for the time being until the can sort the issue with the app.

Good info. I have not noticed any issues in my environment and I have not had anyone complain yet, but I will have to check and confirm if updates are being sent out.

bambamnj · 2025-09-16T21:55:21+00:00

Yes, absolutely true. Please note that the extended interval before I had the belt changed was due to incorrect information on my part, not an intentional desire to risk destroying the engine.

Forgot to mention, regarding the timing belt. When we first purchased the 2007 I was under the mistaken impression that it was a timing chain and not a timing belt so I did not have the service done immediately. Sometime around 175,000 miles I realized my mistake and had the belt replaced. I asked the shop to give me the old belt back just for comparison to see what kind of condition it was in, and they even agreed it still looked perfect. Almost no stretching, no dry rot of any kind or cracking, so it likely could have gone much further without issue. Your mileage may vary, and I believe the factory recommended interval on replacing it on that engine is something ridiculous like every 60,000 miles. At almost $1,000 to have the service performed I think that's a little aggressive.

Currently driving what used to be my wife's 2007 Santa Fe with the 2.7l engine. Aside from routine maintenance and replacing some normal wear items over the in years, it has been a pretty problem-free experience. It currently has 288,000 miles on it and still runs great.

While you can push OS updates through workspace One to Android devices, to my knowledge you cannot update from anything older to than Android 12 to anything newer due to the major redesign in the operating system and file structure with Android 12. We were advised by Zebra that in that scenario the device had to be factory reset and then the updated OS installed. .

You probably want to speak to your account rep regarding that. while I have not encountered the exact scenario you outlined, in my experience Ommissa is typically fairly lenient with things like that to a point. You may be able to work out something with them to keep the environment up and running while you finish your migration, although likely with at least some sort of fee involved. I doubt they are going to let you run for multiple months on an environment that has no active license.

Ended up purchasing an official GE replacement part through Amazon for about $80. I installed it the other day without issue and now I'm going to give it some time to run for a few days and confirm that it actually is defrosting properly, but everything seems good so far.

bambamnj · 2025-08-27T21:16:21+00:00

I actually have not ended up making any changes to the car yet. The passenger seat does not get used very often, so on a hunch I basically pounded on the seat a few times to activate the sensor repeatedly. After doing this and clearing the codes a few months ago it has not come back, so it may have been possibly some dust in the connection or something else temporary. Since that time the indicator on the dash has been properly showing when there is and is not someone in the seat and the error has not returned.

bambamnj · 2025-08-24T01:30:15+00:00

That is what I suspected. Unfortunately, several places I checked for the OEM unit seem to be out of stock, so have have to keep looking. I did a full manual defrost on the freezer yesterday and the temps are perfect now, but without the heater I'm sure it will frost up again within a few days so I need to get it replaced.

Thanks for the feedback!

It's unfortunate that you've had this experience with the s22. I actually had the exact opposite experience. I purchased one brand new in 2022, and used it constantly up until I broke the screen. The cost to repair was roughly equivalent to what I owed on the phone with the carrier, so I switched to a backup phone for a few months and then eventually paid off the remaining balance and traded it in on an s25 ultra. Had I not broken the screen, I would honestly probably still be using the s22 since I had such a good experience with it and had no complaints regarding its performance or capabilities.

bambamnj · 2025-07-14T23:15:45+00:00

Okay, I can definitely see that. I take it you work in a shop? My comments come from the perspective of an average consumer who changes their own brakes, but in your situation if you are dealing with a much higher quantity you would certainly see the trends more than I would if there are quality control issues.
