this keeps popping up on my phone. looks just like the official account/password mismatch popup, but the problem is, i am signed in correctly to gmail. i can send and receive emails just fine. i also have full access to the market. so what is causing this popup? any way to tell?

Don't input your password there, whatsoever,
It'll probably steal it.
Check your system/app for unknown apps.

It's a stock blur rom on a droid 4. 90% of the apps are unknown to me lol. Anything more specific?

Sorted it by date, nothing newer than april 12, which seems about the time i did a system update.

I've seen this a couple times today, and so have a few others in the forums. It definitely doesn't seem device/ROM specific. I was thinking the same thing: "hope I'm not being hacked" lol.
This reminds me of a month or two ago, when I got a popup saying someone suspicious had tried to access my Google acct., but Google denied the login. That was different tho, because I myself was locked out of my acct. until I logged in on a pc and sorted it out/changed my password.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A

I would install pdroidand try to determine which app is asking for the password.
From there you should be able to determine whether it's legit or not.
I also recommend you install Droid Wall and see if any rogue app is trying to connect out to the internet.
I can't post any links yet but both are available from Play Store.

From pdroid's thread at xda:
" Will only work with deodexed ROMs (take a look into your ROM's system/framework directory; if there are any *.odex files, your ROM is NOT deodexed)"
And apparently the stock rom on droid 4 is not deodexed.
It's a shame though, pdroid looks fantastic. I'll give droidwall a spin and see what i find. I haven't got any notifications since last night though.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app

Too bad.
Give Droidwall a spin and see if you notice any suspicious connections. At least that should help you narrow down the list of potential suspect apps.
If you have the time and inclination I would flash another ROM and install Pdroid too. This is specially true if privacy is a big concern for you.
Good luck.

Also happening here, but can go to my gmail without any problems, It started happening after installing google+

I have a rooted LG G2x and got this sign in error yesterday while I was at work. I don't have G+ on my phone. The 4G and bars were not coloring in. I went to gmail account on internet and signed in, then rebooted. This error hasn't been back since. Server issue???

Could be. I've not had the issue resurface since I last posted.

Google Confirms Our Wallet Problems, Fix "Soon"

Reassuring that they're at least acknowledging the issue and are working on it. "Soon" is not reassuring though. Will make it much easier to clear wallet settings though, instead of having to mess with the build.prop all the time :s
Thoughts?
Meh, I've survived 48 years with a conventional wallet and currency, I can last another week or month or whatever without GW.

Those inactivity charges are going to eat into that 10 free dollars they gave out before disabling it.
Anyone else finds it ironic that google wallet dosen't support rooted devices, but the only way to make wallet work is to be rooted?
On a side note I like google wallet, but these are pretty bad growing pains hopefully google wallet can survive them.

Hopefully they turn you guys on soon. I just happened to randomly check this morning and mine worked.
Google Wallet told me on twitter that they are working with htc and sprint because it has to do with a nfc component on the phone.

Being rooted has never had anything to do with the problem. The only thing I know I did differently prior to it working was doing the marketplace error fix of unsynching gmail and rebooting, then resynching gmail and rebooting.

Google Now

So I've seen a post asking how we can google now on the amaze...and apparently we need to wait till source code is released or something?
There wasn't really a much clear answer to it so I'd like to ask; what's stopping the amaze currently from having Google Now? Shouldn't it have been included with the leak we got?
Didn't know much about Google Now, so I googled it. This is what I found. (I apologize if it's already been posted)

It works on my amaze, no reboot required. Just follow the instructions to rename and install apk.
I can verify that it works but very buggy. I'm running Speed Rom 6.

I believe so. I'm running ARHD which is basically stock sense with some tweaks and it runs fine on my device. Click here for the link. It seems they've updated it to include the voice search functions. I'm gonna try that out!
mostly works from what ive seen with my stock rooted, being not in america it has issues with location stuff unless thats been changed in the last version that got released?

Absolutely does. I have stock 4.0.3, Sense 3.6, rooted, and Google Now is working. I installed it yesterday afternoon. It actually viewed my Google Maps searches from earlier in the day (I was logged into my Google account while searching) and it started giving me traffic and weather for trips to those locations. It's still collating data, as it didn't give me weather and traffic to work this morning, but the instructions say that most functions take a few days, at least. I can already tell it's going to be an invaluable resource. (Screenshot is of the bus system around my building)
As a test of both the cards and the basic functionality, I decided to look up the distance from the Earth to the Sun. (The Astronomical Unit). I wanted to see how similar the search function is, and if it'll start giving me cards based upon my searches.
FYI: I wasn't able to just install the .apk file - I had to rename it like the instructions suggest.
Thanks for all the replies and sorry for posting in the wrong board.
I downloaded this but I have to say (yes I know everything won't work from day one) I am impressed, but my problem is that I want the voice search. That's what I was looking forward to the most. Does anyone know what exactly you need to do to get the full JB voice search done?

Browser redirecting to porn sites

So while this behaviour is pretty rare it still happens to me ebry once in a while. My browser suddenly redirect from for example google to a porn site. If I press back I cant find any link to the site so I couldn't have clicked it myself. All my apps come from the appstore and I'm on the stock rom etc etc. Why is this and how can I prevent it?

I noticed that too on my un-jailbreaked iPad. I would suspect some resident XSS/javascript. Especially since the ipad is a closed/protected environment.
Funny thing is that it happened to me twice while browsing the forbes website which I would consider super serious
I cleaned all the cookies and stuff and seems to be gone since then...
PS: If someone knows more details regarding this attack and technical details I would be very interested. The fact that it even affects the iPad is fun
Use a more secure browser like Firefox and install AdFree.

I don't think any other post on XDA has made me crack up quite so much! Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Im trying to find a problem in this. More to the point though, are they any good?
I dont even think this is a galaxy s3 - only problem. I got this **** on my galaxy s1, now some times on my galaxy s3, when I was trying to visit xda devs homepage. I was so ****ing upset @@
And dont come with the "If you know what I mean" meme, this isnt ****in funny guys, thats just freaky annoying. If I'm searching for some useful stuff for my phone, suddenly there is a stupid relink to a site like "uporn" or some ****, I could smash my phone against the wall.
So, this is more or less a major problem on the android community, and I think, on iOS there is the same problem, especially on jailbroken devices.
hopefully someone can find the problem
btw I had this problem, when I was on my rooted ICS-Galaxy s1 and on my actually rooted s3 -.-'' Dont know if it has something to do with it, but I dont hope so. :S
I saw "porn" on the title and ended up here..... don't know why...
Does the problem occur only under 3G(4G w/e)? Or also under wifi?
Try deleting under your APN settings the proxy for your provider.... might be some prank been played to your Provider :silly:
Or maybe a weird app you installed "changed something" on your "hosts" files...
It comes on 3G and Wifi on my phone (at least the SGS1, the s3 had this problem only a few times )
And this really cant be that the providers could do this ****, if yes, I would sue the **** out if them and get a pay-free contract for life.
I'd say you downloaded an app that has installed another app on your phone that sends spam.
Try removing all your downloaded apps then use the phone for a week if it doesn't happen then you know its an app, if it does happen then you know its a site.
I use chrome and dont get this issue.
Also just because an app is in the app store does not mean it is safe, I always Google the app before I install it . Also apps that I'm really not sure about I download onto my computer the I scan for virus then I send via email to my phone.
Another thing it may be is if you have you chrome desktop bookmarks synced then it could be coming from the desktop sync.
Check your homepage on your PC and your home page on your phone make sure it is Google not captain stab in

Quite possibly someone on your network is using a network spoofer and redirecting your phone to those sites. Or you downloaded an app that's doing it. Remove any fishy/unnecessary apps and reset/check your hosts file

They accidentally created the singularity and are at current fighting with a semi omnipotent ai due to their extensive search engine and semantic database of knowledge. Every known android virus and maleware app has been deployed but the majority of them switched sides. Google is losing.
The ai has just launched what appears to be a giant android mech and is wreaking havoc on the city, apple launched a giant apple in retaliation and the android is currently stomping the apple into the ground. It appears the mecha apple is using repurposed technology 4 years behind the android. Fans of both companies are literally cheering on their respective mascots

Thank you.....i figured that but had to ask.....
I downloaded/installed it from the article and uninstalled it.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ith-slide-out-navigation-and-brand-new-inbox/
I even disconnected it from the market with TBU so it won't upgrade.
Why? They exchanged asthetics for functionality. ..
They moved the delete button off the top/bottom bar. You now have to tap the menu button to get to it.
Archive button is still there, why?
You also have to long press each email now to select it instead of the old quick tap check box.
Ain't nobody got time for that!
Edit: I found this in the article comments...
" You should put in a note that going to Settings > General Settings > Archive & delete actions and selecting "Show archive & delete" will move the "Delete" function from the drop menu to the action bar, thus moving "Move to" to the drop menu."
Is there a way to put a specific image for each email that is not on our list? For example, I get a lot of emails from amazon and I see a big box with the letter A. I want to put Amazon's logo instead.
