Handset not showing in Android Device Manager. - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So today I've discovered my phone isn't showing up in the ADM - and I am betting that this is also linked to it now showing up in the Android Beta interface also.
Is there any way to remedy this?
My searching hasn't turned up anything that has worked (clearing the play store data etc).

This issue has been around for over a year and Google hasn't done sh!t to fix it. I honestly don't think they will ever do anything about it.

The workaround is to create a new, second account on the phone.

You create the second account on the phone and use ADM with the second account. You may need to remove your main account first. Then re-add it once you have added the second one.

The easiest way to share links between your phone and PC?

Ok, since Chrome To Phone doesn't support my phone, what's the easiest way to send links back and forth between your pc and nexus now?
Is it not built in on the nexus?

Chrome to phone works fine for me.

aha that's it then, i'm using the market with google app email, not standard gmail
If you use Google Chrome, make sure you are logged in. On the Nexus, look in Accounts and see if Bookmarks are synced. Works perfectly for me.
I think the easiest way is this software named sego : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nex.sego

If you have a secondary Gmail account you could use that for Chrome to Phone instead.

Horn issues with root?

Purchased Horn and every time I boot it up, it says unable to obtain license. Anyone else rooted having this issue?

Nope, no problems for me. Sucks that you're having problems as it's a pretty awesome game. You tried reinstalling and/or restarting the N7?

Yea, reinstalled and even wiped data. I emailed the dev hopefully they respond.
I have the same problem but im on a Transformer TF300T that is NOT rooted...
looks like there are some launch bugs...
Just wanted to let you know its not just your nexus 7

the Horn thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863322
In there I posted; if u have problem with license, just launch the game from within the Play store once or twice, then you can try again with the shortcut. If you install and then goes straight to shortcut, it doesn't work most of the times.
Not sure if that's how the game registered, but that fixed it for me.
Do you have multiple gmail accounts on your device? If yes, make sure you're logged into the account that you bought it with. Should clear things up for you.

Google Settings app

just noticed this; when did it appear!?
Where at? Can you post a screen shot?
I received bunch of updates and see this new Google settings. I believe it is something to do with this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...n-in-simple-and-secure-minus-the-social-spam/
I'm so thoroughly confused what is even being discussed here. Such vague posts and no specifics..

It is a little worrying that it seems like a Google Settings app just appears without any interaction from me...can't even see which Google app got updated?
It just appeared on my device too...
It has here as well, how very odd!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ok, after some brief digging around. It appears it is part of Google Play Services.. Which before no one was entirely sure what it was used for, it appears we now have an idea.. To use as a gateway for Google to install their loot on your device at will.
That app is the only one I have open.. As you see, Google Play Services is responsible for it.

There was zero notification either!
Seems to have a lot of perms too.
Yup, if you hold and drag to App Info it shows as Google Play Services.
The strange part of it is.. I have my Nexus 10 sitting right in front of me and that app doesn't exist and I have no updates.
I was wondering why my internet connection lagged so bad to the point where I couldn't do anything.. Then this settings app showed up.
Have not got it. Is it only those with G+ who have received it?

This explains all the google wake locks I have been getting over the past few days. They have been doing this in pieces. I went in and froze the play services and the locks are gone for now.

Factory reset question...

I've wiped multiple times in twrp 2.6.3.3 and done it three four times before flashing a ROM through Odin again. I even went as far as doing an advanced wipe and wiped everything including the system. Buy my problem I'm having is I'm a little confused as to why when I flash a ROM with Odin, I keep getting the same wallpaper I had with that firmware. I didn't even have that wallpaper before I started this from stock. Its the p600ztubnb1_p600zztbnb1_home.tar.md5 file. Its like my tablet just remembers what wallpaper I had with that firmware. Even though I wiped everything. I even took my SD card out before wiping. Any ideas? Or am I a worry wart?

That says a lot... Thanks for the detailed reply lol. Are you trying to say Google backup/restore is saving my wallpaper? Never had that happen before.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Just trying to be to the point. yeah maybe Google is backing up and restoring it every time you reset I don't know just an option. Unless the recovery is not really resetting the tablet

Is the OP using Samsung backup/restore services? That one saves the wallpaper for sure, I have been teaching myself to the point of softbricking the device how to recover, to bring it back to the same state I like it etc. So yes, sometimes online services might be giving you options that drive you betty. You can call me Al.
Are you using a Samsung account? That will backup and restore your wallpaper automatically

I do but, not the restore part. And the last few times I've been skipping the Samsung login.

I know Google has the backup and restore setting and you'll see it checked when setting up your ROM on first run. A quick look on the net some people think it also backs up wallpaper. I've never had that happen but then I don't flash much anymore...

need help with android app

so basically this isnt rly oneplus 3 related
however, i wiped my phone to install a new rom on my oneplus 3
and when i go to login this app it says it's logged in elsewhere
im pretty sure they're referring to my previous rom
but I can't log out
is there anyway to log out of the previous app
I think i've seen this google menu where it shows all your past devices and you can delete them or something to log out of all your apps
that would definitely help
thank you

Not sure about the app.. Anyways, Try wiping your data in the recovery and flash your rom again. Might work.
