Android Phone - Preparation

This guide will help you set up your Android smartphone for work at Greencells Development. By using a work profile, your private data remains completely protected.

Basic Wi-Fi Requirements

🌐 Wi-Fi Connection

• A strong connection to the Wi-Fi.
• You must have the Wi-Fi name and password available (no QR code).
• Please do not use hotel or bar Wi-Fi.
• Avoid heavily restricted networks.
• No Wi-Fi with limited data volume. Large amounts of data will be downloaded.

Step 1: Preparing Your Android Phone

Before you begin the actual setup, you must ensure that your Android phone is properly prepared. Please choose the case that applies to you.

📱 You are using a Company Android phone that was previously connected to the Greencells.com environment

For former Greencells GmbH company Android phones:

• Factory reset required: A reset to factory settings is usually necessary to completely remove all old configurations. The path is typically: Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset). This may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
• 2FA Backup: The reset will also delete your Microsoft Authenticator app. To avoid losing access to your @gc.dev account, please add your mobile phone number as a second authentication method beforehand. To do this, visit: Microsoft Security Info and add your phone number under 'Add sign-in method'.
• IT Coordination: Contact the IT department at it@greencells.com and request the official removal of your device from their tenant. Coordinate the exact transition date with them to ensure a smooth process.
• Back up your personal data: Be sure to back up any personal data you wish to keep. The best way to do this is through your personal Google Account (e.g., for photos, contacts, and device settings). Google provides detailed instructions for this, for example on support.google.com.

📱 For private Android phones that were connected to Greencells.com

Here, it is sufficient to delete the old management profile (Work Profile).

1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
2. Navigate to "Passwords & accounts". Look for a "Work" tab or profile and select "Remove work profile".
3. If you cannot find a work profile, check under Settings > Security > Device admin apps and deactivate any profile associated with 'Greencells.com'.

📱 You are using a brand new or private Android phone (with no previous enrollment)

If your phone is new or has never been connected to a corporate environment, you can skip this preparation step and proceed directly to Setup. Just make sure you are signed in with your personal Google Account.

General Requirements

User Data

• Your username and password for Greencells Development (email address ending in @gc.dev).
• Take your time, make yourself a coffee or tea, and stay near the computer throughout the entire setup process.
• Please do not skip any steps and follow all instructions as provided until the end for an optimal user experience.
• The setup must be completed without interruption. Only start if you can ensure you have enough time.

BYOD Concept: Maximum Security with Complete Privacy

Only when these points are clarified can you proceed with the actual setup.
