Hi there!
I have a Samsung S20 5G. I just got a new job recently and I was trying to set up a professional profile with Microsoft InTune to have Teams, Outlook, Edge, etc. to have access to my messages and intranet on the go. But, I found out my OS was out of date and didn’t have the latest security updates, and therefore the professional profile couldn’t be completed.
My options are:
- Buy a new phone ($$$$$)
- Keep the phone and Install LineageOS (MS InTune and professional profile might not work?)
Have any one of you had to create a professional profile on Lineage and succeeded? What has your experience been on Lineage?
By the way, I’m not trying to de-Google my phone. I’m just trying to extend the life of my phone and I read that to create a professional profile or for your banking apps to work, you need to install Google services a certain way when Installing Lineage. Have any of you tried this?
Also, I originally bought this phone (used) because it claimed to have e-sim functionality which is great for travelling. However, the Canadian version of the factory OS disabled that feature. I had to replace it with a U.S. image for the same model and that unlocked it. Will Lineage OS prevent me from using e-sims?
Please let me know your experience.
Ah interesting!
If I go with MicroG, will I still be able to use Google apps like drive, photos, maps, etc?
You shouldn’t have any issues, no. I’ve been able to use Google Maps myself since alternatives are garbage, but I don’t see any reason the other cloud services wouldn’t work
Nice. Thank you so much for your advice!
I’m going on vacation soon so I won’t do the switch until I come back. But I’ll follow your instructions and see how that goes. I’ll try to keep you updated if I remember lol 😅
