Lg g8 login prompt for permissions menu?? - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Could anyone please give me some input on this?
I've got a new lg g8 (new from Best buy on a sale, unlocked), and when I try to access several of the permissions menus I get a prompt to type in a username and password? I'd rather not reset the phone to see if it goes away (I didn't use those menus before, I tinkered with permissions app by app, so I dont know if it was there before right off.
If this is a legit phone thing I can't fathom what it wants. I've really not done anything funky that would put this phone at risk for getting something..and I don't want to just go typing in passwords willynilly.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I can't post outside links atm as I don't have 10 posts. On imgur the profile Raggyd has screenshots of the issue (and nothing else!)

I've never setup user accounts without admin privileges on a phone, but I know it's possible. I wonder if the phone is somehow set to a guest/demo account access. That behavior is very similar to when I tried adjusting deep settings in a showroom G8.

It's definitely not in demo mode. I can edit permissions app by app but calendar, phone, messages, and call logs permissions categories ask me for some login, and it's not my Gmail.

[IDEA/REQ] Simple wallet app

I've used Sony Ericsson phones before I went over to WM-phones, and on the SE phones there is a standard app that is very simple, but genious.
It is a very simple app to remember your pin numbers and/or passwords.
It works kind of like this:
At first use, you select a password and a control word. You enter the password every time you enter the program and it then displays your control word so you can check that you wrote the right password.
Whatever password you enter at program startup will get you inside, no error messages or anything. But entering the wrong passord will also display your control word wrong - whatever it might be. When inside all stored pins/passwords are displayed, but only if you write the correct password when entering they are correct. That way someone not knowing the password will not be able to tell if they actually guessed the password as the "pin numbers" show anyway, but with completely randomized numbers. So they are basically just waisting their time.
Not sure if I managed to explain so anyone can understand or if there is such an app already? I've tried dosens of wallet apps, but not succeded in finding one that is as simple and good as the one in SE phones.
I've been wanting something like this for a while. I can't use the last one I had (Flexwallet) since I had to hard reset and lost the registration number.
There are bunch of free apps to do this on your Windows Mobile device:

Market not working (download won't start) new Evo

Ok,
(Before those that have nothing to do start shouting, I have searched! I spend hours last night looking and time this morning looking. This error is NOT related to a googlemail/gmail switch..it is NOT related to internet connection..it is NOT related to some obscure cache issue [i think]. So now that caveate is out of the way....)
I cannot download anything from the Market. Here is the process as I see it...
- Open Market app from phone
- Find app I want and click download
- Go back to main Market screen and click download tab
- App sits there with a 'starting download process'
Now...if the error is somewhere there...can someone please tell me.
But...a few minutes later I get this...
- Alert noise goes off
- Alert says Google Talk authentication failed
- Go and stop the app in the running apps screen
- Find GTalk app on phone and start it up
- It hangs up on the Talk bubble screen with Signing in swirly thing just going round
- Eventually that alert noise goes off again
So...there seems to have been an issue many months back when UK customers switched from googlemail domains to gmail domains. But I have never had either. I am registered with google and I have one of my personal emails set up on that account. I can log into google, I can use Picasa, I can use the forums, etc.
Now, I already have three different email accounts to keep track of...do not need a fourth. But in a fit of desperation I tried to set up a gmail account last night. After 30 minutes of trying to find a user name I gave up. I do not want to be D.sablesurfer.432456 or whatever stupid azz suggestion it gives.
So...things I am wondering...
Is Google Talk integrated with Market somehow?
Can you just use Market with a regular Google log in?
How do I make google talk work since there appears to be no where on phone to change any settings?
Where is google talk looking on my phone for log in information?
Does this have anything to do with the weird sprint email address that seems to be registered to my phone? (Current username = [email protected]) (Obviously where my name would be my real name.)
Please help, the internet has been wholey useless in showing me an answer to this issue.
Oh...and if I log into google web page from phone...and choose Talk from the more menu...
....I am logged into Talk!!!
Yep, it just pulls right up with no complaints.
Ok, lots of looks no feedback.
I stopped by Sprint today and they say basically that my really old Google log in will not work. They said will need to set up an actual GMail account and replace it on the phone.
HOWEVER....there is NO way to replace it without the factory reset. Seriously? Has the Evo or HTC...or Sprint locked this thing down so much that you can never change accounts?
I changed password online...and the incorrect password screen ONLY lets me change password. The account name is greyed out.
I went into Manage Applications and the only button active is the Force Stop. The Clear Data button doesn't even exist. And after the force stop it still does not exist.
How does this make any sense? Really? People are NEVER going to change accounts? Sounds way too strict to me at moment.
So basically...unless anyone else has an idea...on the Evo (not heros or g1's)...I will have to do the factory reset tonight? This sucks.
Have you tried settings, accounts and sync, click on the google account and hit remove account?
Yup, no go. The default in the Evo seems to be permanently locked in. Well until you do the factory reset. I just posted my findings/tip over on general. This is a pisser for a newbie to android and as a LONG time programmer sucks to be locked in like that.
My market was useless earlier.
the name###@sprintpcs.com is just sprints username for you, it's used for network stuff
I'm having the same issue. tired the google search too ... wish I didn't have to do a hard reset... I hope somebody come up with a fix for this
EDIT:
Here's all that I did. I'm not sure which part fixed the issue.
*I un-synced Gmail (still didn't work)
*I deleted the pop Gmail account I had set up (still didn't work)
*I went into the market, canceled everything that was pending a download, then I re-synced Gmail, and set my pop Gmail account back up and BAM!!!! It worked. (Oh and I restarted after I did all of this)
Hope this helps...
Same problem here, hope someone with great idea can help. I am also struck on my HTC evo
Market still won't downlaod
I'm on JI6,
i have this problem that i cannot get the Market to download.
I didn't see and end to this story, only that it could be a Market problem.
But still i have this issue now for 3 days, i did most of the things in this thread.
nothing works ...
HELP
This happens to everyone.
Go to applications.
Click all applications.
Find market. Click market.
Click, clear cache, and clear data.
Restart.
I'm over that, clear the data of download manager ,and from the Market application, removed the update from the market , wifi on , wifi off .....
Still wont download
Then it's your internet if that does not work.
Check your firewall
what firewall , if i work in 3G ?
I'm having the same problem...I just flashed Myn's 2.2 RL3 and it is no different than it ever was. It's pissing me off. I've tried every solution that I could find.
I was having a similar issue with my Evo running OMJ's 4.5.
On the market.android.com site I would click install, select my phone, and it said my install would start shortly, but it never did. I scoured the net and found a fix that worked for me. Try this:
Menu -> Settings -> Appplicaltions -> Manage Applications
Select the 'All' tab
Scroll down and open 'Google Services Framework' -> Clear Data and Force Stop
Hit back and open 'Market' -> Clear Data, Clear Cache (if available), and Force Stop
Reboot
Open Market. You are going to get an error, be patient and let it sit for a moment and it will come up by itself.
You should be golden after this. Let me know how it works for you.
Why must people resurrect dead threads, do they lack the ability to read, the last post to this thread was in the first week of november, if this was still happening, this would be an active thread.

[Q] (HELP) Go Locker locked out of my phone

Hello, I am new here obviously but I need a little of your help please.
I have a Xperia Play (I think it was rooted, because my friend rooted it with something - I have no idea how to root), and last night I downloaded the GO Launcher and Go Locker to have a "change" in my phone home screen and lock screen, for something new, I guess?
Anyway, I set my gesture as a password in Go Locker, and the pop-up message was "Do you want us to email you an photo of your gesture in case if you forget", I obviously accepted and they emailed me.
When everything was all set, I am happy with my phone using Go Launch system. Then right on the next day, I entered my gesture as what I entered last night, it said it is wrong. I did it again and again and again, still wrong. I was shocked thinking that the gesture must have changed or whatever overnight that I have no idea about.
Anyway, this morning (now), I tried to plug in the mass media to my phone so I can check the files, I got in even though my phone is locked out but I tried to find the GoLocker file.
I found it, but I am not sure if it is the actual file because it is full of themes plugin and the numbers from 0 to 17 as a file itself. I thought if I'd delete the Go Locker file itself, and restart my phone - it would be gone.
But I am still unsure if I should or not. So I checked AppData, but there are no files. I am a computer-freak on the Windows 7 but I have no idea what to do in Android system.
Where do they save the GoLocker files so I can delete it?
Oh! Just realised, speaking of the GoLocker photo email, I checked my email account, there is an email yes but there is NO photo attachment or whatever. It just said "If forget your gesture, click on the attachment to see it" ... lol? There are no attachments.
I am quite shocked when it happened, because it shouldn't happen at all.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
I doubt that will uninstall go locker ; important app files are stored on the phone itself in the data folder ; only other viable option I can think of for you is uninstalling go locker via adb which will require some simple copying and pasting into a command prompt on windows 7 .
Here's a link which tells you how to do it(see second post) http://android.modaco.com/topic/297207-removal-of-apps-via-adb/
You will however have to find the app name yourself..

I would suggest removing go locker from your phone temporarily, by setting up ADB on your computer, plugging your phone in, and typing this command:
adb rm data/app/com.jiubang.goscreenlock-1.apk
If that doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help...

ADB? Can you explain what ADB is?
I tried to access data/app, but it won't allow me for some reasons I don't know why.
Temporarily, what do you mean of that? That means in few days time, it will come back and lock again?

[Q] Any way to disable clip tray

I use keepassX to manage my passwords, but clip tray prevents the passwords from being cleared completely. I can manually clear them, but it's a huge pain. Is there anyway to disable clip tray? Solutions that require root are fine.

Agreed - I tried to get an answer from LG electronics support and they couldn't help either. This is a huge security issue since the passwords can persist, even a reboot.
I found some old posts for the LG G2 that there apparently was some option available under Settings -> Security that allowed you to set a timer for the phone to clear out the "clip tray". Although, I can't find anything that suggests a way to do this in the LG G3 documentation on their website, and no one I talked to at their support had any idea what I was talking about.
They're convinced it's a feature that all the passwords I've saved from my LastPass account are visible and in the clear.
I also agree. It's annoying to have to open another app just to get a text box and clear it. Anyone found a solution for this? Thanks for the help.
LG Clip Tray - annoying message "Copied to clip tray"
I am using an LG G Pad 8.3 where this "Clip Tray" also exists.
The "Copied to clip tray" message when taking screenshots is a real annoyance when taking multiple screenshots because the message appears after a few seconds and takes time to fade out.
If not waiting long enough after each screenshot, the message (white letters in a black box) will be visible in each image.
Does anyone know how to disable/suppress that message?

My new phone is an LG, having found out about cliptray has also worried me. If you have ROOT, search for "cliptray.db" and "cliptray.db-journal". Mine was in directory, "/data/data/com.lge.systemservice/databases/".
Delete both these files and then make two directories with the same names. A file and a directory can't have the same name, and the cliptray doesn't know how to remove directories.
