I went directly to Samsung and downloaded the manual here. They don't take up that much room, and I don't think they actually run unless you ask them to. Learn to pretend they're not there, is all I can say. I too once again disabled/turned off NFL Mobile, but Samsung really, really wants us to have all this great Knox stuff, and the rudimentary bits of it that came with the upgrade can't be removed or disabled. WRT ltolman's original question, there's no way. But unless business security considerations demand that you keep using it, you may be able to look through all the Knox-related entries in Application manager and find the one that was manually downloaded and therefore can be uninstalled. So, if you're actually using the thing, you really are stuck with these stupid limitations. In that Android Central thread people talk about uninstalling it too. However, from what I can tell you actually have to download and install Knox to activate these features they aren't actually pushed to the phone with the 4.3 update. And in that alternative universe, "there may be restrictions on moving data into and out of container and some applications may have their features restricted." When I went to my app tray and tapped the Knox icon (with some hesitation!) just to see, I got a screen that seems to indicate that inside the "Samsung KNOX container" you're in "another private mobile." It sounds like the Android equivalent of a Windows virtual machine. Folks there confirm that once you've used Knox, you can't exit it to your preferred launcher, and can only go to TouchWiz (or apparently, as you've discovered, LadyRelm, Knox's copy of TouchWiz). There's a thread on Android Central that includes some discussion of Knox (ob-knox-ious?) issues. I still have two completely different "personal desktops" It didn't restore everything back to normal. It removed the Knox private area, but not the "knox copy" of my personal desktop. Now I am stuck in "Knox copy" personal desktop hell. So I have tried REMOVING Knox from my phone in hopes that everything would go back to normal. Confusing, frustrating, and a big box of "Nope!" So.this seems to indicate that my phone is holding a pointer for "three" separate desktops - Knox, my regular personal desktop, and a "Knox copy" of a personal desktop. However, if I go into my app list and click on my EX launcher, it takes me back to my regular, normal desktop where everything is where it should be. ALL GONE under the "Knox copy" of my personal desktop. In my regular desktop, I use a variety of themes and widgets. Instead of taking me back to my familiar and useable personal desktop, it takes me to a "Knox copy" that has different icons/screens. Frustrating as I wasted two+ hours trying to make this happen.īut the most annoying problem.and the reason why I'm trying to DELETE Knox from my phone.is what happens when I switch back to my Personal space. It won't allow me to add my business calendar (via Gmail) into Knox. Needless to say, I managed to get my business email into Knox, but the Knox calendar will only take Microsoft Exchange. We use Google Business Apps so my account is Gmail-based. I tried to move my corporate email and calendar into knox. Like you, I received it with the update except that I *thought* it might be useful. The Knox Vault hardware is also sensitive to physical attacks and can destroy data if there is a laser light or electromagnetic fault injection attempt.I am also in the middle of a Knox nightmare. Isolating components on a physical level decreases potential attack vectors. The Knox Processor can also handle things like biometrics, so there is no need to transfer sensitive information to process an unlock. The main OS will still need to use Samsung's applets to request anything in the vault. For example, if a vulnerability is uncovered in Android, that does not allow access to the Vault Storage. While this can seem like overkill, the idea is to cover as many angles as possible before an attack can be conceived. This processor is connected to the Knox Vault Storage, which is physically isolated from your phone's main storage. This OS runs on the Knox Vault Processor, built into the main SOC. On a device like the Galaxy S22 Plus, a separate OS runs alongside Android to create another layer of separation between apps and your data. Samsung Knox with Samsung Knox Vault is also included on the new Galaxy Tab S8 series with all three models. Knox Vault is available on newer Galaxy S devices like the Galaxy S21 and the new Galaxy S22 series of phones. Knox Vault takes Knox to the next level with an isolated OS (operating system) and hardware for your secure information.
