Deny WhatsApp access to local contact account? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I ordered a OnePlus 3 for use on my private and my companys sim card (no access to companys intranet, only for telephone accessibility).
For business contacts which I don't want to have synced with google I use the app "MyLocalAccount" which seems to be good for that situation.
But is there a possibility to deny whatsapp for accessing this "MyLocalAccount"?
Maybe with a xposed module?
Or is there another way to handle this?
Thanks for your help,

Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
Perhaps you should try out an XPosed module called "XPrivacy"? It will ask for your permission for litterally everything and once you accept it it obviously won't and it should help with what you need help with.
If I helped, hit "thanks"

I tried XPrivacy and asked also in the XPrivacy thread, but it is not 100% what I want
The easiest way would be to block access to all contacts from that local account, but in XPrivacy I've to allow every contact for WhatsApp.
But as I also searched on google I think there's no way to do this?

Is there any way of getting a free Android developers account

Hi is there any way to get a free developer's account for the Android Market? Or will someone be willing to let me use theirs or buy one for me in exchange for a favour? I am only 16 and my family have no credit cards, and I haven't seen an option for bank accounts on our bank. I have also tried to contact Google but they completely ignored my emails.
PS I'm only going to host free apps.
Thank you and as for favours, if anyone needs any Android hacks or general help for Android, PSP or PC I'll help them.
Cheers
I want that question answered aswell!
I don't like the idea of binding my bank account to a google service.
I have some apps that I want to upload, I think I might upload them to XDA instead, later today.

[Q] Is there any free Disguised Password Vault App??

Hi Guys,
Sorry Admin if this is not the right thread for this question.
Is there any Disguised Android App which can store the following?
Bank account details
Credit Card Details
Secured Passwords
Photos
Notes
Apps
Videos
And I should also able to access and retrieve the same details online.
I tried to search, but could not find any reliable application for the same.
Please do direct me to any such application. And is it really safe to store in such applications??
I usually forget my password and bank user-id too... So I need an application to store them.
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,

I wouldn't do that if I were you ...if "someone" wants your bank details ,a smartphone is one of the easiest devices to snick information ...
As per any bank regulations ,passwords should not be written in any place from where it can be retrieved with relative ease ....
The thing about Android is, that the data can be easily extracted, if phone is rooted.
I really do not recommend to store such valuable data on your smartphone.

[Q] How Do I Sign In To Themer?

Hey everyone, how do I sign into Themer? On my Galaxy S4 it gives me the option so sign in with Google or Facebook. I have neither. IF I DID HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO HOWEVER I would get a Google account just for Themer... but I don't know if that is possible. When I select to sign into Themer with Google, it tells me to choose a Google account when there is none on the device. What do? (derp) Thanks in advance.

Hi there, we'd advise creating a simple Google account. We use this feature generally for security purposes as well as to display unread email count notifications (as the general population now use Gmail as their preferred email account).
Not everyone wants to participate in social media. I find it disappointing that Themer would require I do so, and is a deal-breaker for me.
Without a google account an android device has only half of its functions. I uderstand google+ but a normal google account?

We understand that it's not for everyone, but it's the best way for us help find new users as well as to keep Themer free. We will soon add options to remove this service.

If you don't have a Google account you may as well not be using android. "Google account" does not equal "social media". Without a Google account you can't even use the Play Store.

You're correct. I realized that I had been confusing google+ with my normal google account. My bad here. I had assumed that since it was requesting me to sign in with my google account or facebook that it was social media related. I, in fact, do have a google account and can access the play store - which is how downloaded Themer to try in the first place.
I'd now like to know why it needs me to sign in with either account. How does that help Themer find new users and keep it free? I'm not being an ass here, just trying to learn new things.

To be honest it's mainly for security reasons on our side. If someone breaches our servers, we can link it to a verified account and take action where necessary. In terms of social, when you log in you might have selected the box to receive emails from Themer about new updates and very important events. In this way, people who have uninstalled Themer because of some reason, might find that it now includes something that they've always wanted. Therefore it helps introduce 'new' users and in turn the more users we have the greater chance we have to generate resources (through the sponsored apps in the Smart Categories, which can also be turned off if the user desires).

Thanks a lot for your help. I was also facing the same problem.
Google account is a deal breaker
Hi,
For me this is a deal breaker.
I can follow your reasoning. But how can you give the same app the rights to read (display) all your text-messages, contacts & location together with a personalized login (be it google or facebook).
I know that American mentality is different in this case than German mentality: but I think it is insane to give access to all of these information at once...
I'm not the only paranoid here (if you think I am) but I know a lot of others (Germans) who think the same.
Sorry of I'm too frank: if you want to reach more Germans with your app, then you need to rethink this log-in dialogue.
btw: yes, you can use Android (CyanogenMod) without any kind of account. Works great
Yours, toggle

Hi Toggler,
We understand your concern, as we are simply a launcher. However, that isn't really the case. As all of our widgets are built in, we require these permissions to allow the user to view his/her unread SMS/Email/Missed Call counts on the homescreen. We don't store any of the information, we simply display it. We've now actually had to remove the Dialer Widget to reduce the number of permissions required, but we still need a few to improve the user's experience. Once Facebook introduces anonymous login, we'll implement that straight away, however right now we need it for security reasons on our end (in then breaching theme servers).
Hope this helps!

V20 / H990 - Business and Private - One Device!?

Hello erverybody,
I am looking for a solution to use both things on the phone at the same time (Business and Private).
The Problem is to separte the contacts and mails so i wish a similar solution as Samsung my knox / secure Folder.
i have read some small News about LG Gate on the web that this will provide similar functions...
But i can't finde the App on my Phone or in the LG Smart World
at this time i give a try for 'Nine' but this solution is not the best...
Than i will not Sync the Buisiness contacts to my private contacts and so i can see the buisiness contacts of my Exchange account in the Nine App.
This works good but the incoming Phone calls on the Business Sim Card will not identify.

If you have root you could enable "mutiuser guest mode" which allows another user to use this device and it is totally seperate access. When you add another user it will walk yoi through the setup wizard again, just like when you first setup your v20.
I can't remember if it can share apps, I think thats optional and has to be set using the primary account.
If you have root you can flash the option to "enable" it here
If you find this or any posts be sure and hit the thanks button on the bottom left. Only saying this because it looks like, by your post count, you are starting to be more active in discussions.
Thank you Stangedriver for you're replay!
But i have found another pefect solution for this case for free and without root rights
The Solutions is "Android Enterprise " based on the Samsung Knox System, here you can creat a Work Container
with seperated Apps and Contacts. The Trial or Demo for Android Enterprise is completely sufficient for this case
- The phone can identify the incoming calls from both Adressbooks
- You can install a second WhatsApp account without a other help app such as parallel system
More infomations you can find here: https://www.android.com/intl/en_uk/enterprise/management/

I am having problem with WeChat

Hello,good day everyone
This is bloodygood(oh I really don't want to say my name) from Nigeria
Please I am having problems with my phone or should I say WeChat,I probably don't know
I have downloaded and installed WeChat from playstore five times now and also register five times,but anytime I register and scan the WeChat (which is really hard this days) it always blocked my account(I always register new account because it's really hard to unblock it) but my other friends have theirs still working up to 5 months
And they always Suggest it's my phone that's making WeChat to block my account
So guys I really want to know where the problem originate from. my phone is a Tecno camon 11,4gb and 64gb RAM, thank you.
@Bloodygood
There’re three types of WeChat account blocked, One is temporary block and can get unblocked by yourself. The other one just can’t get unblocked by yourself, you need to ask WeChat to help you unblock it. Or you need to wait for one or two weeks to unblock it or it will be unblock automatically. As for the last one is permanently block, there’s no way to unblock it, as you’ve violated the terms of WeChat so much.
Thank you for your reply @jwoegerbauer
But this is the first time I am hearing that temporarily blocked WeChat can automatically get unblocked by itself.
But why do all my 5 separate WeChat account keep getting blocked ?
Is it from my phone
Because it is perfectly working on others but when it comes to mine it is always writing security threat like this account is suspicious.
Have you tried logging in from different IP or using VPN?

The reasons for WeChat account block
1. WeChat you downloaded on your phone is from an unofficial channel.
2. Phone is rooted what put your WeChat account security endanger.
3. Your WeChar account is reported to send or share some content including lewd content, violent materials, scams, inappropriate rumors, annoying ads, etc.
4. The phone number you used to log in or register WeChat is provided by virtual network operators.
5. You are using a phone number for WeChat account that is operating abnormally.
6. You've been reported by other users for multiple times.
7. You are using WeChat account for violating its terms.

I downloaded it from playstore
My phone is not rooted
I actually don't have less than 4 people on my WeChat
Which I have never send inappropriate things
The number is alright I have used it on other sites,they are all working perfectly
Even I was reported,I never did receive a warning
So I'm afraid of registering a new one in my phone to avoid being blocked
Maybe WeChat have got my Mac address,my IP address and my serial number,so that anytime I do register on that device I will surely get blocked
@Bloodygood
Wondering why you don't simply contact WeChat Help Center to get your problem solved?
