Google Authenicator help - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dropped my phone and cracked my phone's screen, the screen does not turn on. I can't get access to my google authenticator app to get my 2 factor codes for several websites. I don't have a recovery code. The phone powers on and it working otherwise. I tried to use [email protected] but I think the issue is I never enabled USB debugging. Any ideas? Thanks

Can't you use text as an option. When google asks you for the code just click on problems with your code and choose the option for sending the code as text.

i'm using the authenticator for other webapps so they don't have that option unfortunately.

You can goto your profile on a PC and generate codes for that purpose. They are one time use codes.

Phone checks for app automatically

I'm having an issue with a couple of websites. I guess the website has an app, and every time I navigate to a different part of the site it asks me to search for an app that supports a function. It is very annoying. Does anyone have a fix for that?

Simple exchange pin bypass (Caution!!!!)

First understand if ur employer finds out you bypassed the required pin to unlock phone when u have an exchange account tied to your phone, there may be consequences!!!! You have been warned, and I am in no way responsible!!!
Anywho, its very simple, You must be rooted!! Then set up ur exchange account like normal, with a root file browser navigate to data/system/locksettings.db. Open it with a sqlite editor. When you open it go to locksettings, then change the lockscreen.password_type value to 0. Then save. Now you can into settings/lockscreen/select screen lock, and change it to what you like....
Hey there,
Got an LG L7 P714 with stock OS and with an exchange account set. Lock screen is set to have PIN of course. Following your directions, I have opened this db, but the password_type attribute already had the value of 0. Am I missing something here?
Cheers,
D.

Try one of the 4 exchange server bypass plugins in xposed framework.

Thanks, found the EnhancedEmail app, which gives me the functionality I need (and pin requirement is optional).
Cheers,

How to fix the incoming call bug?

Guys,
Cant answer any incoming call, no screen to answer show up.
Anyway fix this bug?
Lollipop 5.01
Nexus 6. Stock, this phone is not rooted.
This phone came directly from Motorola and they were sent directly from China I believe.
So these ones are not from any T-Mobile, att or any other carrier local store. I believe that sprint have this issue.

Problem solved, as last resource I had to do a factory reset. It fixed the problem.

Guys,
We have two nexus 6 phones.
One has the issue that when the phone rings it doesn't show up the window to slide or press to answer the call.
How can I fix this issue?

The heads up notification is in the SDK and has to be disabled/enabled by the developer (in this case Google for the Phone app). There is currently no option to turn the heads up notifications on/off anywhere in settings or the Phone settings. You could try a factory reset on the phone, and see if that fixes it.
If you are rooted, I would not factory reset. I would get the phone app from XDA, remove it from the phone, and install it as a system app and see if that fixes it.
Otherwise, the only possible way I know of is through a custom ROM (you would need to be rooted). I know for a fact that Pure ROM has a setting to turn heads up notifications on/off, don't know if any others have the option.
I'm on Sprint, so I had to do the "Settings - > More - > Cellular Networks - > Preferred Network Type " and switch to 3G. It's a pain, but this is the only fix that works for me / until Sprint fixes the network CFSB issue.

Factory reset fixed this issue, I did not want to do it, but I had no option

This issue of incoming call screen not opening just started a few days ago for me. I've tried every possible fix I can think of, even doing a factory reset as a last resort, but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update to the latest version of Android using an OTA image from Google's pages.

Make sure you have a default phone app... N6 might be getting Alzheimer's

Google voice when locked and plugged in gone

I don't know if this was something I've done within a app or setting but can anyone confirm that since latest Samsung update and Google search update that this option is now missing to be able to use ok Google when plugged in and phone is locked

I've lost "Ok Google" detection everywhere outside the Google Search app.
I guess that would be the same for me if I wasnt using nova launcher and have google detection clicked in settings of nova

Camera Doesn't Open on Lock Screen

Hi,
For some reason, the camera app does not open on the lock screen anymore. Instead, it now prompts me to enter my password, after which it opens the app. How do I fix this problem?
Thank you!

The solution is remove your password. Then it will open the app directly.
This behavior is normal it SHOULD ask for a password before opening the camera app because if not anyone could look at my photos and use the phone.

Hi,
Thanks for the info!
Is there a reason why other android devices (ex. Nexus 5) allow access to the camera from the lock screen without having you enter the password? I remember that you could have access to the camera, even if you had enabled some kind of security lock.
Thank you so much!

Incorrect. Even with password the camera app should open with the twist/slide option but when you slide to open gallery then the password is asked, that's how is working.
How do I remove password protection when I want to start the camera from the lock screen?
