DO NOT CREATE SECURE FOLDER

[TaylorT]

When I attempted to create a secure folder today it bricked my device. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[productfred]

I didn't have this issue. I've created and deleted Secure Folder multiple times (I didn't have one before the beta).

[TaylorT]

Had one before the beta deleted it when I was in the beta and tried creating a new one the next day

I didn't have this issue either. Weird

Taylor T: is there anyway to report it? Or is that is for your phone?

If you brick your device you can always flash the stock software with Odin and get it going again.

I got it fixed with an extremely obscure security flaw in samsung dex for some reason samsung dex allowed me to control my entire device when it was locked

[TaylorT]

Steps to attempt to reproduce (This might have been an extremely rare bug I have no clue)

1) Have secure folder installed prior to downloading the beta
2) Uninstall secure folder while in the beta
3) Attempt to reinstall secure folder in the beta

At this point my device crashed and rebooted and upon reboot the lockscreen worked fine but when entering my password it would immediately reboot again. This happened constantly every time. An odd thing I noticed about this bug was that it was "leaking" info about my phone that should not be possible to leak while it's locked such as notifications (After restart it should not display content of notifications) To fix this error I tried a multitude of things but in doing so I discovered while my device was like this fully locked I could plug it into samsung dex and fully control the device while it was locked I could control all settings open all apps everything with Samsung dex while the device was locked. One odd thing about it was that when you were using Samsung dex the dex screen would turn black if you did not keep the phone screen on in the lock screen. After troubleshooting in dex dex randomly requested my password after about 5 minutes full control of my phone and I entered it on Samsung dex and my phone immediately unlocked and was fixed.

Another odd thing about this was that my phone was extremely laggy until I uninstalled secure folder
