Instruction: "disconnect from OEM accounts" is unclear & does it include cell provider account?

[gggirlgeek]

Describe the feature you want

In the instructions you say:

From the settings, disconnect from any OEM accounts (when you delete an OEM account package it could lock you on the lockscreen because the phone can't associate your identity anymore)<

This instruction should be made clearer. I am an advanced user/technician and I did not understand what you meant by OEM accounts until I searched through the closed issues for a reference to it. Why? Because "OEM" is an ambiguous term which can refer to unbranded or unlabeled parts too (even though the acronym means "Original Equipment Manufacturer.") In addition most basic users do not know what "OEM" means.

Suggestion: Say something like:

...sign out and disconnect from any phone manufacturer's accounts such as "Samsung Cloud" and "Samsung Account," for example.<

Second: I am still unclear if you also mean the cell phone provider account, as well as removing the SIM card temporarily? For example should I remove my SIM card, then reboot, then sign out of T-mobile's "My Metro" app before removing T-mobile bloatware?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacture. In this case, Samsung is the OEM, so only Samsung logins.

@l4d Hi! I'm confused as well, is this the same as disabling "OEM unlocking" in Developer Options in your phone? Or is it something else entirely?
