Ok For a couple months now Ive been getting a very annoying nag everytime I download a new app from the play store. Basically I click download and I get a pup up nag that says "enjoy your app, if you ever forget your password we can restore your access...blah blah.tell us how we can contact you" or something to that effect. I don't want them to contact me and I'm not going to forget my password..I just want to turn the nag off......Ive checked the settings and I haven't found a way to do it. Ive also searched here and all over the web and cant seem to find anything.
Any help?

Can you take a screen shot of it please, I've never seen that before.
I second what @mjones73 said... I haven't gotten that ever, grab a screen shot so we can take a look at it.
A little preliminary stuff, have you ran Addons Detector to see if there is some push stuff going on?

I cant get a screen shot, I accidentally hit continue on it and then cancelled it....if I do that it goes away for a little while but comes back. As for the addons detectors no I havent I can try but this has been happening on multiple ROMs and I just reflashed the phone.

And what happens when you hit continue? It believe it's just asking you to add additional verification options to your google account.

Why? You should have verification setup even if you have it toggled off in your Google account settings. I believe this is also information needed to do a password reset if needed, so it's actually kind of important.

loki,
Am getting the screen once in a while. Like you, I do not intend to provide google/gmail with my phone number voluntarily as well. In my case, when I got the screen, I went to the settings and killed play store(Force Stop). That screen disappeared when I installed a new app using play store App again.

Hello.
I also have this all the time i update or install a new application using the play store. I dont think you can turn this off unless you give google what it wants.
I personally say "F**k you google you piece of sh*t, i aint givin you nothing" and hit the back button every time.

I finally gave in and did it and it went away. Pretty sure google already has my phone number anyways. Still kind of messed up though considering all of the hacking and data spills happening lately...I don't totally feel comfortable giving ANYONE my info lately.
In my case, I log into the gmail account associated with the phone on a Desktop using browser. My guess is that google wants to make sure that the primary account associated with the phone is active. Still it sucks that everything considered personal are now targeted information for Corporates like Google.

of course they have all this information, the point here is with your approval they legitimize it; they come clean. in practice but unfortunately none of it matters.
google is a disgrace and it blemished "open source".
I have to agree, yet another data-mining ploy by Google.
Anyway, I seem to have (at least temporarily) stopped this notification by hitting continue, then deleting the pre-filled phone number and then backing out of the recovery options screen.
We'll see if it comes back. I too have no interest in giving out more personal information than is absolutely necessary to make my phone work.

Getting Google "CLOUD" Music Sync working on the Fascinate (Froyo, not tested on 2.1)
Figured out how to get google music sync working on the fascinate and decided to share it with everyone!
Tested and working on DarkREVENGE v1 (and I assume v2) and Super Clean 2.8 however I suspect this will work on many roms and devices! doubt this will work on any 2.1 devices seeing as the APK is 2.2+ sorry for those of you running 2.1..
Now tested on MiUi Fascinate 1.2.25 and confirmed working!!
IMPORTANT: Your music must be set up like this sd/media/music if it is not located there it will not be uploaded to the cloud!
Known issue(s) You cannot manage your "cloud" just yet there is no web interface yet and i'm assuming this is still in the "testing" phase.
Now lets get to the fun!
Install this apk (adb push or install as a normal APK) make sure that Music.apk is deleted already if not go ahead and do that right now.
http://db.tt/tXHSuYH
Alternative Mirror
http://www.multiupload.com/PAYDTSPCYQ
You should see "Music & "Jumpertest" after installing.

}
go to account settings and to your google account you should now see "Sync Music" PRESS IT! and let it sync.
When that is done go into your app drawer and open up "Jumpertest" click on the "Controls" tab
Don't forget to click the "Accounts" tab and check off your gmail account it should ask for permissions (you will see an upside-down triangle with a !) in the status bar.
Next click on "Start Peer" it should work IF you do get an FC try reinstalling the apk or maybe rebooting IF you get a "authtoken error" go back into account settings and click on "Sync Music" again and try again!
(if all went well you should see "Peer started")
Next go ahead and click on "Import Local Media"
(once again if all went well you should see "Import complete")
Now that is all setup and time to access your music on the "CLOUD"
Go ahead and open up the Music app
Press the "Menu" softkey on your Fascinate to bring up the menu popup and select "Library Options" and after that select "Streaming Only"
(If you are not a complete newb or illiterate) you should now see your music that is on the cloud! Yay for clouds
If it did not work this means you are likely incapable of following directions that a five year old probably could and you should not have a rooted device!
However if it does not work and you are 9000% sure you did everything correct please list what rom you are on and method of installing the apk.
Hope you all enjoy and give me thanks if you found this helpful
If you can't take the harsh sarcasm (not really) in this post then please get off XDA and do not attack me on this thread.. do you guys not have anything better to do? if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all! Thanks.

Was pretty fast for me and the perks are being able to access your music from the cloud and bigger storage space than an SD card if you don't mind moving your music collection in "waves" to your SD card as I said this is not final but it's working and working well until we get something more "official"

Hey "bro" why don't you lay off your high horse. DiGi is learning and progressing, not seeing anything come from you, but yet you want to sit here and say he has an attitude??
1. If you felt the need to look at this post (not being a mod) then this interest you, so shut it and if you dont like it, then move along.
2. IRC is a place for chat and learning hint the abbreviation "Internet Relay Chat". It doesn't say "yes were going to be nice to you and hold you hand", once again get off your high horse.
3. Quit being a **** on the forums, yeah you're cool. How about this, quit dishing hate on others work, unless you take time out to work on something your self, and then have tons of questions asked to you, and see how frustrating it becomes. I highly doubt he was being a "****" or "juvenile" about anything, it's just the way you seemed to take it.
At this time, there is not a way to get it from your desktop to the cloud. Seeing as how you are not even supposed to do this yet..... that feature has not been implemented lol
BTW, anyone calling digi bad names is a complete douche, I <3 digi, he has never acted like an ass or anything that I have EVER seen..
Oh, and thank you Digi

You would have to plug your phone into your PC, transfer the music to the proper folder you have setup for this app and then synch. All music in that folder will be uploaded to Google's servers so you can access it at anytime from the APP.

Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)
http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS
The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Installing Android Market APK
Could use a little help here. Put a new ROM on my wife's phone, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Market on it. Every time I download the APK for the Market though, it asks me if I want to assign an account to it, which I choose Yes, and then it closes. I'm going to keep working on it, but if anyone has any ideas, please help!

Can you upload it? I did not know there was an update. Curious if it fixes the account switching bug in .3.
EDIT: nevermind... it does not fix the bug.
thank you, this new is better ;D
2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.
Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.

UPDATE Aug 13: The app has been removed from the playstore AGAIN
UPDATE JULY 31st: The app has been restore in the playstore, it seems as if the dev was not lying and has kept its promise
Well, the app has been taken down. I contacted the gev through email, facebook and G+ and he never answered. Samething happened to a few members so i have taken my issue with the boss (Google) and they were extremely fast to refund me. Literally 10 seconds after I clicked submit issue, they sent an email confirming me my complaint was accepted and the refund has been made. GREAT!!!
I would not request a refund for an app taken down unless i had issue with it, which i did, so because the dev never answered, here is how to do it for yourself if you feel you've been abandoned.
Log into your google account https://play.google.com/store/account and go to "My Orders and Settings"
Look for SmartRemote and hit "Report a problem", then select "I'd like to request a refund" and give them a brief explenation. Also, if the app serves you, please don't do this, do this only if you're having issues that the dev obviously wont repair because he has, as far as i know, abandonned us.

i'm not sure why, it's really hard to know when the devs cut all communication and doesn't tell anything to anyone. In any case, the apps works fine, just struggles with my specific devices and the dev promised it would be updated to work for my TV and AV but they never did and they stopped emails about 2 weeks ago. So got this refunded and bought TouchSquid which so far works just like i want it too, also it's much more sophisticated and for a limited time it's 12$
What a letdown. It was such a great app!

Does anyone have an apk for it or backup of it on tibu?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
i had issues with this app on my s4. after selecting an action, lets say the volume up button, the app would continually trigger the IR, even if i wasnt pressing the volume up button anymore. this was obviously very annoying and required a phone reboot to clear everything up. this happened every time i used the app. the IR would continue flashing after the first button tap.
i've been using samsungs watchON. it took 15 seconds to set up my tv and uverse box and the remote works flawlessly. also, its free. much better remote functionality and layout.
This app pretty much sucks on my S4. A lot of the buttons are useless and when I try to use the center button that is usually associated for "enter" or "ok", it never works ever.
Requested a refund but it said they were unable to give me a refund. Another let down. Bah!

Really I think it might be because it's stupid powerful. I can walk into any store control/cable TV's walk into a bar etc just total havoc. And it don't just work on TVs. Also those that have issues with it still issuing IR commands when it's not on. Disable. Air gestures and the Dynamic Option it will not do that anymore. :good:

Doesnt make sense really as touchsquid allows all the same functions. I mean the watchon app bare minimum allows you to mess with just about most tv's in bars and stores.
I have just, in the past couple of days, developed a pretty serious issue with pop-up ads appearing all over the place on my phone. They come in two different ways. 1st is when an ad pops up over the top of another app. This has happened with GO SMS and with the Facebook app for sure. I can't recall what other apps it has happened with, but I don't get the impression that the ad is related to the app I'm in. I've had them pop up on the home screen as well.
Here is an example of a pop-up ad when I opened GO SMS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also have it happen where I open my browser (I use Chrome) and it will automatically launch a new tab, then the tab will act as a redirect and send me to the Play Store for another app (basically sending me to the download/install page for an app).
I don't recall installing any apps just before this started happening. I believe that my app list is the same before and after this issue, but I'll keep looking. I have not rooted and am using the Nova Pro launcher, if that helps at all.
How can I figure out what is causing this and, most importantly, how do I make it go away? A factory reset is an option, but I'd like to keep that as a last resort if possible.
Thank you for any and all help.

Air Push Detector said it is not necessary for Android 4.1+. I ran it, though, and told it to scan anyways. It didn't find anything.
It is driving me nuts that I can't nail down where these are coming from.
Try uninstalling gosms. If I remember right. When I tried that crapp it was full of ads

I can try that. If that is the offender, that'll be a real bummer. Used it for about a year, now, between my S3 and Note 3 and never had an issue. I got pretty comfy with using it as a messaging app, too.
That said, if it is going to cause pop-ups like this, it isn't worth it.

You recently change a theme in it or something?
Many of the "free" addons to Go* products are full of this crap.

I had an add on, but it was from a while ago. I can't really think of a thing I changed between it not happening and happening.
I have deleted GO SMS, though, and have not experienced the issue since. Looking like that was the culprit. Now I just need to find an acceptable SMS app.

Try an app called adaway that should help do a search here in the forums you will find it.

I had a Verizon version of the V30 a couple weeks and it worked fine with "Ok Google" answering me regardless of whether the screen was on/off/locked/unlocked/charging/etc.
I switched to T-Mobile and bought a TMO version of the V30. It is not responding to "Ok Google" commands UNLESS the screen is on (locked or not). It won't work even if the phone is charging.
I've set up trusted voice (and tried deleting and retraining many times). I've even clear the cache on the Google Now/Assistant app and haven't had any luck.

}
Google Smart Lock is also active under trusted agents:
Any ideas why it's not working on this V30. I can't tell what I've done different versus the previous V30 I had.
It's working fine on mine from off and locked to open and ready. Edit to add that I have the Tmo version.
Good to know it's not just with the TMO version.
I've tried clearing the data and uninstalling the update for the Google app. No luck.
I also even tried turning on LG's built in voice recognition that is suppose to to unlock the phone and it won't even let me set it up:
I guess my next set is to do a factory wipe of the the phone and try and start all over.

Are you using Battery Saver mode?
OK Google won't work when Battery Saver is on.
That's the only thing I can think of to attempt to help you. :/

Mine is the Tmo version. Did you do any of the disabling stuff? That seems to have caused a lot of trouble for people.

The reason the LG Voice Unlock is giving you the mic error is because Google is still selected under the trust agent settings, so the mic is listening for OK Google when you are trying to record. If you unselect Google from the trust agents the LG Voice Unlock will work.
I'm having the same issue as you in that I can't get OK Google to work with the screen off (it works fine on the lock screen when the screen is lit), and I tested this to see if it may have been a hardware issue. The only thing I can think of at this point is that it is some software issue with the Google app that will hopefully get fixed in an update.

Nope. Battery Saver mode is off.

I did uninstall all the apps I thought were bloatware that it would let me. I disabled a few things too that I couldn't uninstall but have since re-enabled most (Duo and Facebook App Manager are still disabled) and it still won't work.
I've also tried most of the things suggested in this thread I found: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/websearch/ImhgT8BXboE;context-place=topicsearchin/websearch/category$3Aandroid

If I can't get it to work in the next few days I'm taking it back to TMO for a warranty exchange. Hopefully it's not all for naught and I have to waste time setting up a new one only to have the exact same problem.
