Welcome to AF and the Note 3 forums, ccstriker3!

I am sure that Knox is something wonderful for some people, but I haven't had any use for it. I haven't really heard of anyone, personally, who does.

It sounds like you have had painful experience with it so far. If you can't make it work to your advantage, by all means, uninstall what you can and don't worry about it.

Glad to have you with us!

 

It's too bad you didn't find this forum before you installed it. Knox is pretty much despises in all of it's forms around here.

Dump it if you can and hope there aren't any artifacts that give you any issues...

 

I must be the only who likes it then

As many people i have setup my corporate Exchange account, which requires certain Lockscreen security I don't care about. I need to read emails but don't want them to dictate what I do with my personal phone I have paid for myself.

Plus if you do connect to a corporate server with active sync, your Exchange Administrator can not just lock your phone but wipe it too.

Knox doesn't affect your main phone. It is like a virtual machine with Android environment sandboxed and separate from your main system. So your phone doesn't have to be password / pin protected as Knox is and if the admin decides to wipe your phone - he wipes Knox and not your main system ...

So it does have advantages. And I personally stopped caring about rooting etc., always went back to stock - too many drawbacks in the long run.

 

Nah, doesn't make rooting harder, it just trips the Knox flag, blows an efuse and possibly voids your warranty. Also it means you can't go back to an earlier firmware than what you rooted from. All "good fun".

Also while you can uninstall certain features of Knox, you cannot unistall it per se. You''l still blow an efuse and trip the Knox flag by rooting and installing a custom recovery.
