Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Intel-provided smartphone still has old Intel emails, even after termination?

If Intel let you keep your smartphone after termination, do you still have your old Intel emails on it?

IT was supposed to remotely remove the Intel content on our last day, but this didn't work on my phone, apparently; so my phone actually still has all the old emails (although I am not getting any new ones, of course).

Did this happen to anyone else here?

I actually wrote to various departments Intel about this issue since I want all the Intel programs removed (without resetting the phone), but they don't seem to care.

I had all the intel apps on my personal android phone. I saved everything I wanted onto my desktop's hard drive. I used "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup text messages and phone logs. I also had Googles basic backup features working (I don't remember all those details, though). So, in the end, I did do a phone reset, as it was the easiest way to get rid of all those apps and the encryption, which I didn't need or want anymore. I was able to restore and reinstall what I needed fairly quickly and my phone is now more responsive, too (I think the encryption was a performance hit).

So, this is the one time when I think a total reset is in order.

Remove the Intel email account yourself, then get rid of the Intel security policies on the phone. I can't remember if I did that through MobileIron or not, but you should also erase MobileIron.
