Hello folks,
i have Samsung Galaxy J2; its a year old. Yesterday, my device got stuck and after restarting the device, it failed to open up normally. So i did a factory reset ! But it took me to Wi-Fi Connection setup and enter gmail id.
As i remember this phone belonged to my father, when he purchased, the shop keeper must have made a gmail id for him and entered like so.
But now, as i enter my gmail id , it refuses to accept my gmail id, my father can't remember his gmail id.
Also my phone is running Android OS 5.1 or higher and it must have had Android Factory Reset Protection (FRP) turned on.
This feature allows you to set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is lost, stolen, flashed, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen lock information can perform a factory data reset and use the device.

I don't know if there is another way to access my device. Or to flash it with different ROM.
I found a similar thread with the same problem but its almost 2 yrs old.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/stuck-factory-reset-email-t3174865
My mobile spec:
Samsung Galaxy J2 runs Android 5.1

Is there a fix yet for this problem. I will waste a perfectly good amount of money if i don't fix it.
Awaiting some solution.
I just remembered where i had kept my gmail id. Did a little searching and found and my device opened up.
Every thing is working properly now.

Hello all,
This is my last shout for help before I bite the bullet and call T-Mobile to report a hardware fault! Hope it doesn't come to that!
I have been having issues with my Wifi for the last week. I normally use the MIUI Rom succesfully and have no issues. However on one of the latest times I turned my phone on I attepted to switch WiFi on and my phone started boot looping infinitely. This would only stop when i put the phone into Aircraft Mode (i.e. disabling all radios). The MAC Address on the wifi module shows as "Unavalable" .
At first I thought this was a MIUI issue and have spent a lot of time in the IRC over there discussing it with the devs. They have never had someone have so much bother!
This afternoon I decided to reset my phone back to an almost factory state with Root and followed the instructions over at the CM7 wiki to do that.
I have now got an Android 2.2 based sense ROM on the phone. I started the Wifi, it took ages to turn on then tried to scan before a message appared ("Unable to Scan for Networks") twice and the WiFi switched off.
My current setup is this:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and
I have also created a video showing the symptoms:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KrbCzMpbMg
And finally I have taken a logcat of the phone (cleared just before I tried the wife and exported just after it): logcat on Pastebin
I hope that someone might just be able to help me here!!!
Thanks
Mark
I think you should take your phone to repair centre.
Have you tried re-flashing a radio?

Recently my phone has started to forget account defaults, specifically in youtube. I will watch a video in to morning with no problem, then try again at night and it acts like I have never opened it before, asking me to select between the two Gmail accounts I have. It has come up occasionally on other apps like Google currents, and it has persisted between roms. It started on skynote 8 a while ago after maybe a month of usage, I thought nothing of it after switching to clean rom 4.5 (just trying out different roms). It started to happen again after about a month again. Between these two rom switches I wiped everything possible because I was attempting to clear up other weird problems. I wiped the usual (cache, system, data) as well as formatting my microsd card in the Android system.
I have not been able to find a correlation to an app install or any setting change, if anyone else can shed some light on this I would be grateful, if not I will flash back to stock and see if it happens again, then I will take the issue to ATT.
Thanks!
One other thing I forgot that also broke was the accelerometer. It just failed to give any values. After switching roms it came back. I dont see how this would happen, again no correlation to an app or mod, in fact I hadnt flashed anything other than skynote.
Just going to guess. Do you have this app that Google forced on us?

It just shows up after downloading something from the playstore.
I have no idea why.

I get this message, with the same version number, every time I open HTC sync manager (all 4 times, I just installed it for the first time a couple of hours ago)
The first time, I ran the update and it definitely flashed something to my phone. (was in recovery mode flashing for a few minutes).
After it booted back up, the phone behaved sluggish as typical with a software update, but when I went to settings, there were no version changes of Android or of the firmware version. So far I can't find anything different, but there was a lengthy download and flashing process.
Also, I checked for updates via the phone settings yesterday and also today as soon as I saw the upgrade notification, and it reported no updates available.
(unfortunately, I didn't think to check appdata\local\temp until it was done, and there was nothing in there that would have been the size to match the lengthy download time at 5MB/s)
Anyone else seen this or have any thoughts?
My initial thinking is that the HTC Sync manager software is a p.o.s., but it's the only way I've been able to transfer files to/from the phone on either Windows 10 or Linux Mint 17. (Thanks HTC )
I have this same update. I tried once and got stuck on a HTC flash screen. Havent tried since as im trying to root the device. not download anymore of verizons security scams.
Hey guys,
This is probably a strange ask but I'm sure most of you have had to deal with this annoyance before in some way or another with one of your phones. This isn't just limited to Pixels.
Basically, every time I flash a new ROM or reflash stock, most online services (such as Play Music / YouTube Music, etc) think I am accessing it from a new device. See this image:

"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",

}
You'll see many "Google Fi Devices" but in fact, I'm only using my one Pixel 3. For most services, this doesn't matter, but with some who have a device limit like YouTube Music, after a few reflashes I would have gotten to my device limit even though I'm only using one.
Is there anything I can do during the reflash process to preserve some sort of device identifier or something to prevent this from occurring? It would be extremely useful I'm assuming the device may be resetting a MAC address or something every reset, which might be how these services identify which device you are using.
Are you preserving your data with flashes? I am not sure as I do not use any service that asks for this.
I think I found a way around it. Google play music support asked why I factory reset my device after each update, as it registered as a new device on those, and I lied and said I am a developer. So, as of right now, I don't have to call them every few months to devices for me. I'll try to delete a few right now and see if they told me a lie or not

just deleted 12 copies of my phone from there. Limit is usually what? 10?
Hey there everyone,
I have snooping wife issues.
I need to know if there is anyway I can see if my wife has opened my phone. It's Samsung A70 running Android 10.
Are there any logs that show what time my phone was opened.
She probably knows my password.
Just wanted to know.
Thanks.
Help and cool comments are highly appreciated please.

Lol. Root cause analysis provided to prevent future failures...
This is what I did.
I found out my "sleep timings" from Samsung Health located in setup and noted my sleep time from there.
Then I collated it with "Samsung Digital Well-being" to see if any of the messaging app was operated while I was sleeping.
It was not.
So I'm going to change the login pin and password.
Let the kids grow.
I'll be living alone when they move out.
Maybe try using the goodlock module "nice catch" by samsung, it stores data about notifications by apps and sudden wakeup of phone.
If goodlock is not available in your country try other alternatives like nicelock from playstore or any other app that provides same functionality.
