Hi folks. I picked up a new HTC One a couple days ago. Love it!!!
One issue I have, though, is an "authentication problem" message that I'm receiving.
It happens when I go into the Gallery (when it updates).
I get an error indicator in the top left, and I receive a message that says "Authentication problem" when I drag down from the top left.
When I tap on the error message, it shows a Facebook page with an error note. If I click "okay" I then go back to a main phone/desktop screen. But the error indicator in the top left remains.
If I instead back out of the Facebook error page, I have a notification window on my screen that reads, "Authorization problem - Please authorize HTC Sense to access your Facebook account. Once your HTC Sense is authorized, you can read and post updates in People, Gallery and Calendar."
I don't know what it's looking for me to authorize or do, or where to do it. And I can only get rid of the error note in the top left corner if I restart the phone.
I'm not sure if it's related to Blinkfeed or something else. With Blinkfeed, it's not my "home screen" and I moved that Blinkfeed screen all of the way to the side and have nothing checked, so the phone is not updating anything through there. I'm not sure if it's related to this error message problem I'm having.
Please help. Thank you.
Sounds like it's Facebook authentication that it's looking for. There should be a way to turn that off. At least I hope there is.. my phone won't be here until tomorrow, but I'll be damned if I want Facebook to do anything with it until I tell it to (which is no further than installing the app).

Yeah, I'm sure there's a way to turn off whatever is causing this to happen, but: 1) I don't know why it's happening; and 2) I can't find whatever I need to do in order to stop it.
Problem solved.
From what it seems, the One's Gallery was trying to interact with Facebook and couldn't. I went into Facebook from my desktop and turned on Applications (I had it off). That seems to have done the trick.

yes facebook is requesting AUTH for access to your photos. the gallery section now will pull photos from your facebook if you have it setup. BUT if you have 3rd party access turned off everytime gallery goes to pull when you start it, it will get rejected from the facebook website which is why you were getting the AUTH issue.

I had a problem a few weeks back with a message that I couldnt seem to delete. I worked out how to get rid of it in the end, but one of the things I did to try and fix the glitch was go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > Messaging, and cleared the cache data. This didnt work for that particular problem, but it seemed to remove all the pictures/thumbnails for each contact in the messaging app (the ones it gets from Facebook). The thumbnails still exist from within the Phonebook/Contacts, but they arent coming up in Messaging. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how I can get those back?
I really liked having them there as it makes it easy to quickly identify a contacts message thread. I am trying out Handcent which does have thumbnails, but I dont like the look and feel of it as much as the stock messaging app. Plus I despise the new message "choose contact" screen. No thumbnail images, and it displays ALL my contacts, even ones that dont have phone numbers.
I really just want to go back to the stock messaging app, but miss my thumbnails. Can anyone help?
Thanks guys.
I am starting to think this problem is unsolvable. I think i've looked under every setting I can find and see no way to bring them back.
Nobody can offer any advice on this?
I had considered possibly removing the stock messaging app then re-installing it from the apk, but I am not exactly sure how to do it...
No idea really. I'm using the AOSP Messaging and it'll show thumbnails for phone stored but not for synced ones.
You might try removing your Accounts & sync accounts and re-adding them and see if that helps.

Yeah I already tried that, no luck. It's a weird problem. I really wish I could just have my stock messaging app with thumbs back!
I have a feeling this may help;
http://androidforums.com/incredible...ndcent-wont-display-pictures.html#post2136845
But I dont have any idea how to use adb or where the thumbnails location is for the Captivate. Is it possible to achieve a similar thing in Root Explorer?
It all started yesterday, when I turned on wifi and mine phone suddenly auto install 3 different apps from google play market and another 1 later on.
Today it happened again, just turned on wifi and 1 random app starts to install.
Those apps are Go Weather, Peoples Radio, gPen, ring tone (something) and today some game. (canelled it before it installed).
Scanned mine phone with avast and app detector. Nothing found. I also changed mine gmail account password yesterday and still cant find out the reason of the culprit of all these auton install random apps?
Any got any idea?
some dude is logged in on your market account on a PC:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdFNYSE0iXQ..
you can click install, and then it will do that on your phone.
Re: random apps
I am curious, because I am also experiencing this just recently as well. I will just be sending a text message, and a window will appear asking if I want to install "gamebox". If I tap cancel, an SMS blip (not my normal message icon) will appear in my notification area. As soon as I open it, it will try to install another game. Shortly afterwords, my homepage for my Web app changed to "searchmobile". Which is strange because I have never seen that site or heard of it prior to today. Also just curious I after I uninstalled temple run...most of my issues stopped.
sounds like malware
To be on the safe side, go to Google store & change your password.

This is not same as mine problem, its push ads caused from others apps u installed and its wellknown. Mine problem, is all apps installed automatically when wifi turned on and like i got the apps push installed from google play.
Even changed password to gmail account didnt help and still got pushed installed another app day after.
Mine gmail account dont register others peoples logged in, except ip adress from mine computer/cellphone and I just dont know whats going on.
Same problem
I know this is an old post, but I am researching the same issue. I noticed a little popup notification that said "Glasses.com is installing." Checked Google Play and it shows as installed. Did you ever find out what is going on?
I'm using the latest cm-10.1-20130730-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin and it was freshly installed on a brand new touchpad (i had one sitting in a box for ages(
However, with everything working on it, i find that the notifications don't seem to work.
for eg, i don't get notifications when i get a new fb message or a google hangouts message.
i have to open the app and manually refresh it for it to get the new data.
any ideas on what i can do?

I would go into Settings and take a look at the Accounts. Verify sync is on for the accounts in question.
Could also go into the Apps area as well. I believe there is a show notifications box that you can check
for the two apps.

show notifications is ticked on for both apps already.
it seems that when it's in the lock screen nothing comes through, but when i unlock it, i get a mass of notifications all at once.
almost seems like it's blocking data when the screen is locked but i can't find any power profiles etc to fix this...
any ideas?

Alot of devices and ROMS will have Wifi turn off while sleeping to avoid battery drain.
Go into Advanced settings for Wi-fi and adjust the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep setting.
Hello all,
I've had my X8 for quite some time now and it is still basically stock SE. I have added some features like the dual touch plus removed Timescape and Facebook. Oddly though, when I check for updates via Android Market. Right at the bottom a Facebook icon remains but says "Free" to the right. Anyway I am having trouble with a constant chat request from a gmail.com address every time I connect to the internet.
Is there a way to permanently remove the chat request and if possible block further requests?
Regards
Pete

Do you know what is causing the message? If you could provide a screenshot it would help to understand what is causing it...
Probably its something you have installed...

Shortly after connecting to the internet the icon appears in the top left corner (Pic1)
Once I drag the top bar down I get the chat request which is always the same address (Pic2)
Unsurprisingly, a quick Google with the address shows no results.

Thats not your email..?
What does the message says... "wants to be able to..."?
Never encountered something similar before, it could be from a simple email notification to malware....

Nope, it's not my email.
It scrolls across the top when it happens and says [email protected] wants to be able to chat.
But when I pull the bar down and click on it, nothing happens.

Have you checked your email account for any notifications?

When it first happened I thought maybe there was something, but I don't have anything apart from the odd spam email.
I think I disabled the Chat in gmail at that time, but I checked last night and there is still nothing.
It's rather puzzling.
(Additional)
After fiddling about I have found that if I disable "Background Data" then once connecting to the internet I no longer have the notification pop up.
So this must be due to an App that I've installed.
Would you be able to advise me on the best way to go about troubleshooting this?
I just got my Zenwatch 3 today. Everything is fine but using whatsapp is inconvenience... there is no dedicated app...
If I keep swiping in the home screen to right eventually I will reach a contact page, after selecting a person there is some options like make a call, send a sms, and "whatsapp". However the whatsapp action is not working, everytime I press that there is a loading circle appears for a few seconds, then saying unable to reach Google...
Receiving notification and replying a whatsapp message has no issue, but I just can't initiate whatsapp from the contact page... tried to start whatsapp in phone but not helping...
I tried to search for solution but seems no one has this issue.. can someone give some tips on this? Thanks.
I just checked it with my watch and can confirm the message. I can't remember if it worked when I first set up my ZenWatch. It's my first Wear Device and I just have it for three weeks, so I don't know if it should work in general.
When I choose that option on my watch it gives me speech recognition to write a message. I am not having any problems whatsoever. It just doesn't work too well if my phone is dozing.
