I got hacked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Welcome guys today when I opened google play to install some apps to my lge phone i found new phone in menu it's samsung and has T-mobile and this CARRIER doesn't exist in my country so I think he got my email and pass but how can I delete my account from his phone
I changed my gmail password and edited it on my phone and other devices
now will he be able to access gmail account and when he will disappear from my list
thnx

Just for verification...
Head over to this URL: https://play.google.com/store/account, and go to the settings tab. You will find the list of devices attached to your account. If you find the "Samsung T-Mobile" still there, you might find an option to remove it or something. :fingers-crossed:

but no any option like that i enabled 2 step verification and I hope it may make difference

Can you see the "other" phone?

If you can't see the "other" phone, i.e. the Samsung T-Mobile phone, you probably can stop worrying

Keep monitoring this (https://play.google.com/apps) URL.. If you find any apps, that you haven't installed, it is time you go to http://wallet.google.com/manage/ and unlink your credit card for your own safety

I don't register my CC their
but what about apps data sync which google has added recently
will this allow him to download my apps with my data ?? like whatsapp??
and how to unlink this phone remotely??

Don't know but something happened
he installed twitter and I uninstalled it to him from google play
and whatsapp
he installed
I uninstalled
he installed
I uninstalled
he installed
I uninstalled
but if I can uninstall apps that means that he could pass the sign in error and he knew the new password

[q] how to restore apps from google account?

hey there everyone.. I just got my O1 back from the service center (after 8 days, one more day and I would have been writing from hell! ) anyways, they changed its motherboard since I had messed it up with clockwork mod and it refused to boot up. So what I have now is a completely blank phone. My question is how do I restore all the apps that I had downloaded and installed on my "previous" O1 by using my google account? First of all, can it be done? If yes, then how?
Even if I could get some kind of a list of what apps I had downloaded, it would be really helpful!
Thanks!

isn't that apps linked into account? I mean - when you login into google's account, than you should see in market paid applications.
If you mean only list of used apps at all - its not possible. I'm using AppBrain where this possibility is. You can browse market on web and just add application into list. After that in phone select synch with appbrain and it list you all application which you checked and you can install all of them by one click.
umm.. Earlier, when I used to go to the download section of the android market on my phone, I could see all the apps that I had installed but now, even after linking with the same email id, I am getting a blank downloads page. Why is it so? Am I making any sense?

I think that it have to do with market history. But if you have some new phone... it is possible that it was cleared.
I think it maybe cleared only. Anyways, gotta download them all again!

[Q] Apps won't download from Play Store website

A few days ago I flashed a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM to my Nexus 4 and restored the Titanium backup to it.
Today I realized that when I get apps from the Play Store website, they never get downloaded to the device. Downloading via Play Store app works fine. I followed these suggestions but nothing helped:
support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1067233
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you tried re-linking your phone to your Google account?
First you will have to add a different account to delete (and later re-add) the old one
Go to Settings<Accounts<Add Account.
After you did that delete the old one that you are having trouble with.
Reboot is recommended.
Then go to the play store from your computer and make sure you login to your new account synced with your phone. Now try downloading a app from here. If it works then go ahead and add your old account back in and delete the new one.
Easy.
Hope it works!

Thanks for the tip but it didn't help. The apps download automatically when I use my second account but when I went back to the primary one nothing happens.
Problem solved!
The ID of my phone changed after flashing the fresh ROM and apps purchased through the website were being pushed to the old ID.
If similar thing happens to anyone: go to Play Store and scroll to the bottom, click My Orders & Settings and go to Settings tab. Make your current device visible and uncheck the previous ID.
Well I think it might be a problem with your new ROM.
Have you resign in to the Google account ?
apps wont update

Error 927 Google Play.

I am having some issues with Google Play giving error 927 when updating/downloading apps.
This happens both on wifi and cellular.
Both on my Note 2 on Sammy rom and Desire on 4.2.2.
Is there anything I can do?

I have faced a similar problem long back.. I have done the below steps to recover..
Uninstall updates for Playstore
Clear data for Downlaod manager
Keep the phone connected to internet and reboot
after reboot wait for couple of minutes so that Playstore update will be installed properly.. Then try updating your apps..
I've tried everything
I have tried evey solution that I could possible find to try and stop getting error 927. It's definitly linked to my google account/gmail. When I create a new gmail, everything works fine. Problem is all of my purchased apps are attached to gmail with 927 error. Someone please help. I'm desperate!!!! I have Verizon Galaxy S4. Doesn't matter what I wipe, if I'm rooted or not, or if I try using my account on my wife's S4... All give me error 927!!!

I'm actually having this same exact problem on my Note 3. I tried changing my Google password, but continue to have problems. I pulled a logcat and posted it here in case anyone can interpret it.
https://drive.google.com/#folders/0B...2lZdG1YM1Y3X28
What version of the play store are you running? Also, do you have the background restricted for the play store?
Try the newest Play Store if yours is not up to date. I remember the issue in my S4 and newest version solved it after wiping data and install update.

Setting -> Data Usage -> Menu -> Background Data
May have slightly different way phone by phone. Also check the app under Data Usage for play store, see if background data restricted.

Ok I checked and background data is not restricted, and I have the latest play store version.
It is a issue @ Google, nothing you can do on your phone to fix it. Contact Google support. I have a support case there, and need more people to bug them, so they have to fix it.

Yes its the same account I've had going all the way back to the first Android phone. It has gotten better. I ODIn'ed back from a 4.4.2 ROM to a custom 4.3 ROM and my market works most of the time. When it starts actign up I usually have to clear data/wipe caches, restart and wait a bit for it to resync my account. Kind of a pain, but working most of the time is better than none of the time.

How are the Play store on the web working for you when signed in with the account you are having issues with. For me I have trouble loading in anything @all. Especially the top list, and my purchases.
I believe there are issues with older accounts that did not get updated/patched with new settings after ICS update, or the 3.0+ update of their store when it became Play Store and not Android market. When I use my other account all is ok, but there I have no purchased apps.
If you want you can find the 2.3.6 version of Market and replace the Play store and you will find that all issues are gone. Now I use Legazy Play store witch can be used together with normal play. Just need to push it to system/apps on 4.3 or system/priv-apps on 4.4.
Use all this advise at own risk.

Anyone have any luck with this/ age of Gmail accounts?
I just recently started having this issue on a stock GS4A on at&t. Maybe a week ago could not get updates and wrote it off as a busy server then realized this weekend I could not get anything new.
I tried every fix I could find on the forums and even a fix that the 2nd tier Google tech suggested (no different from the forum fixes other than including turning the automatic date/time on and off). Every method was a band-aid at best: one or two apps can come through before I get the 927 error or the DF-BPA-30 error. At least the error codes are consistent...
I honestly think this is related to the age of my account. I have had a Gmail account since 2007 or so when I believe it was still in beta. I am surmising that older accounts are on an older server or something that is having issues. I made two dummy accounts and could download anything I wanted, so there is nothing wrong with my handset or connections. The temporary work-around I am using is adding a secondary gmail account and adding any apps through it, while still using primary for mail, contacts, and calendar. I am not a heavy user, so it works, but I should not have to patch it together like this!
So- anyone who is getting this error; how long have you been a Google user? Anyone else tried "old vs new" for a cause of the error?
When I replied to the 2nd tier tech I told him his method did not work, but asked to look into the account itself. I'll update if I have anything to say.

Ask to get your case transferred to apps division. There I got real help. They are really good. And have helped me a lot.
There are two possible methods to solve error 927 on android:
Method 1:
Go to settings>>”All”>>Select “Google Play Store”
Now Force Stop>>Clear Data>>Clear Cache
Now again try downloading or updating the app
If the above didn’t work, go to settings>>”All”>>Select “Google Play Store”>>Uninstall Updates
Again, from “All”>> Select “Download Manager”>>Clear Data and Cache
Rerun Google Play Store and install/update your app or game
Method 2:
Go to system settings>> Accounts>>Google>>remove your Gmail account
Now from settings>>Apps>>All> Force stop, Clear data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Service Framework and Download Manager (like in method 1)
Now again go to settings>> Accounts>>Google>>Add your gmail account
Restart your android and then accept all the Google terms and setup Google settings
Rerun Google Play Store and update or install your app.
How to Fix Error 927 in Android
Free Some Space on your device
Clear data and cache files of Google Play Store
Stop or Uninstall Google Play Store (Updates)
Add New Gmail Account
Hope it helped you....
Try the methods below
Free some space on your device
Clear data and cache in Google Play Store
Add new Google account
Uninstall updates of Google Play store
It is the most annoying issue facing by many Android users, that occurs when you download or update any games and apps from the Google play store. But for me, this error solved by the just clear cache.

My phone is not rooted. I have S6 Edge running on 5.1.1
I have checked running apps on smart manager and end them but again many apps automatically open after sometime.
Is there no App to detect malware?
Remove every shady app you downloaded from Store and be careful next time you install stuff on your phone.
Usually games tend to show ads like that everywhere.
Source: dozens of Android phones that had those apps whose parents gave their kids to install games on.
vipul261 said:
I really wish there is a way to detect and block such apps
Click to expand...

There is...
Install All-In-One Toolbox from play store then from within the app (or again from play store) install the Ad Detect plugin. It will scan every app on your device and report their capacity to display ads, by what means, and from what source. From this info, it's easy to decide what apps to delete. :good:

Google Settings crashing, impossible to view or change any system setting

Hi, I have an old HTC U11+ with Android 9 that works perfectly, at least until a few days ago.
For a few days now I've been experiencing problems with system applications, problems never encountered before... the settings application doesn't work, I see the window for an instant and then it disappears.
I tried to upgrade/downgrade apps such as "Android System webview" and "Chrome", without solving it.
I don't know what else to try... is there any way to reinstall all the system apps?

Hi! I'm having the same problem with the HTC U11 android 9. It just happened. I took my phone to a phone tech and he told me that I needed to do a hard reboot. (back to factory settings) However, that would delete all the data and pictures, music..etc.... In other words, I'll lose EVERYTHING! I need to back up the phone and have tried several different programs on my laptop to achieve that, but they all require USB debugging to be enabled. Which I can't get to because I can't access the settings on my phone. I also need to save some photos from a locked folder in the phone, as it crashes when I try to enter the locked folder. It crashes just as the pattern entry window opens. .
A hard reboot is out of the question. I need to save everything on this phone, so any help would be seriously appreciated!

Go on the play store and get short cut maker by Rishikesh kamewar. You can literally make your own short cut to anything in your phone. All settings. All options. All activities. Does not need root and is free. I had the same problem with several parts of my settings. Click on it and the damn thing ****s it's self. This is how I get around it. Use the shortcut and it doesn't trip whatever is making the crash.
