[Q] login info. not being saved

So I installed XDA-Developer Tapatalk for my NC in order to browse this forum. It's great except that whenever I leave the app. It "loses" the login info. and I have to enter it in again when I restart the program.
There also doesn't appear to be an option to save login/password when I first open the program. Anyone know what I'm missing here?

I can't tell you why it does not work but I can tell you that the full tapatalk pro app works fine and saves my login and favorites and such.

That's interesting. It shouldn't be a problem with XDA tapatalk b/c I have the same app running on my D2 with no login issues.

There iss indeed aa problem though. Both not tiring the credenntials and the back button completely exiting the program when you are reading a thread. Tapatalk works perfectly though.

Guys,
I am having this problem with Tapatalk pro. I can login to this site as an example, then reboot and come back to this site and I receive a login error, and have to login again.
Has anybody made any progress on identifying what the issue is?

Used to work for me till I installed market support, at which time Tapatalk started "forgetting" my password.
Perhaps that might help point to a culprit?

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,

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?

Data Recovery

I have a ATT S5 that a close friend's mom gave me and asked if there was any way that I could get the photos off it. The friend has passed away and after numerous attempts to recovery the google account and trying to figure out the password, they still can't get into the phone. The phone currently is a stock ATT s5 with fingerprint enabled. I am just looking to see if there are any options. It looks like custom recovery flashes with odin aren't an option with ATT version so I am not sure where to turn. Any help would be greatly appreciated in pointing me in a direction.

Not entirely sure about flashing, but if it is stock rom then googles ring/lock/locate may work on it.
Just have to know the email and password for the Gmail account tied to the device.
Then got to Google.com/android/devicemanager
Hit lock, change the password, and you are good
Also from google.com/accounts/contact/deceased?hl=en
Just incase

Yeah that's the core of the problem. The family doesn't have access to the google account yet since it takes a good amount of paper work to take over a passed away's persons account. If I had those credentials, I wouldn't have to try to crack into this device. Thanks for the information however.

Did you take the phone into the store to see if they have a way to get in?

Yeah the store won't help.
So I have been doing some more reading and have a thought. The recovery mode says this phone is KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3. Is it possible to odin flash back down the stock firmware 4.4 using the single AP file so that it wouldn't wipe data. Would android boot up as a new install (with no security) but would still have emulated SD card in tacked?

lock device on boot

Hello, Im running a Malaysk ROM and I dont find a solution to lock the device on boot. For example requesting a PIN o similar way commonly used on the phones.
I booked a car park into airport for the next Saturday and they need to have car keys in order to could move the car. In that way, when they access the car, they also could access to the Radio so potentially they could read my email, calendar, chat and also using internet with my chrome saved password......
Any suggestion?

If you have your phone and are away from your car they have no access to its data. Maybe only your contacts if you uploaded them to the hu.

Yes but its not so hard to connect the radio to the park wifi or them phone tethering. Ty

Any answer on this?

Try Tasker with Secure Settings plugin. I've installed a switch in the ACC line and hidden it from view.

Has anyone tried tasker? It seems that you have to pay for this.

I use it on a mobile phone for something else, it's only £2.99 but is brilliant.
