[Q] Seriously...I can't log in with 2-step auth? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just got my Transformer 32GB...yay..*noise* *noise*
So I go to log in with my Google account...about TWELVE times.
I figure, you know what, you've had a few, pick it up tomorrow.
But it's so shiny.
So I log in with an alt Google account...same exact password (yes, security geeks...I'm that guy)...log right in.
Sooo...no 2 step out of the box?
Anyone else with this issue?

Android needs you to create an application specific password on a desktop to hookup your device to your Google account with two step authentication.

Thanks team!!

When setting up the alt password what did put in the box, android transformer, or what?

Whatever you want. It doesn't matter and is just so you can keep them straight later on.

You'll get pretty good at doing this too if you have a tendency like I do to put a new rom on your phone like every 1.532 days!

I have about 18 now for various programs and sites that login to my account. But yeah I had to name phones with the CM version number or date I did the rom to keep them straight.

App thread on their site
I joined it earlier today for giggles since my N1 is at 16+ days, but I have yet to see the data show up on the server.. Still shows 0 devices, etc.. The service is running and it's updated several times.
Any ideas?
what is your profile link? Mine is http://users.uptimeprj.com/xpatriick/en/
Edit // I think this is yours? http://users.uptimeprj.com/khaytsus/en/
You have to add your system. I can't remember how I did it.. if I even did something.
Your Name and password in the app is right?! check it again please

Yep, it's all correct, I'll check it again, maybe look in alogcat.. Nothing in logcat, I've changed the password in the client (just in case I typoed), and letting it run again.

Odd, I just noticed my Nexus and my wifes Aria both are not updating uptime.. Anyone else seeing the same?
Aha, alogcat tells me why..
W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService.getMACAddrMD5(DroidUptimeService.java:65)
W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService.sendUptime(DroidUptimeService.java:133)
W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService$1.run(DroidUptimeService.java:49)
Weird. I tried and tried to make it work, no go.. So I decided to put the phone on wifi and sniff the connection and see what's being sent up and received... and it's worked since.
Shame, I was trying to get the wifes Aria on the list.. it had nearly two months uptime, but locked up on her the other day.
Version 1.4 is on the Market. Hope it works better now.

I want to publish my stupid app, but I cant!

I made the world's lamest app because my wife won't let me squish spiders... She wants me to take it outside. I called it Spider Squisher.
I signed up for a Google developer account about 1 month ago and now I am trying to upload my app. When go to https://market.android.com/publish and try to publish an app. I
1. select the app by clicking browse
2. click upload
3. receive the following dialog box pop-up

The market is pretty buggy at times, last weekend i tried for 3 days to update an app without success.
I had the exact same error you had, after sometime i just said f*** this and went to sleep. Sometime next day it worked.
Don't give up hope!
K... I've been trying for 2 days now.
Somewhere i also read that he had the same message, which was very misleading because he got it as he was not yet fully unlocked to use the market.
Seems you are not either? Maybe this could be it too.
They wire you some cents money, which you have to type into a field to complete registration, did you do that?

That is for a sales account. I did not set that portion up. I am not accepting money for this. However, I i tried, and It's doing the same thing as clicking on my account which I mentioned earlier. The market appears to be fully broken and inoperative here. I just don't understand. Who can we call about this?
No one.
You can probably fill out a form somewhere, thats the google way im afraid.
They don't support phonesupport.
I can't find the form... that's why im here on the forums. I could not find a form or email address.
Can anyone help me? Where do I contact google market?
Here is the form http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=publishing
Litterally, within 1 minute of hitting submit, I received an email apologizing for the delay.
Now when I log into the developer console I see
Your Registration to the Android Market is approved!

It is only possible on tablets and is only available as a feature on 4.2 so he would need a tablet running 4.2

Guest Mode for All Android Phones (App)
The first time a guest mode was revealed for any android device was with the launch of LG G2 series phones. This feature was advertised so well in the media. I also bought an LG G2 at that time (not for this feature alone) as it was a great phone. I realized that a little over six months had passed and I seldom used the Guest Mode feature on the phone.
The guest mode in G2 and the one in the upcoming Android L (5.0) is something that is too apparent in nature. What I mean is that any adult who is given a phone in the guest mode will easily be able to come to know that they do not have the full access to the phone. In cultures (like India), it will be considered very rude in case I lent a phone to another user in Guest Mode. Also, what do you do when you Dad asked you for your phone, you surely cannot give him in Guest Mode (this will make him more suspicious).
This was the practical challenge when I decided to make an app for myself, the app that I have been using is similar to an app locker. However, it has been added with a screen lock as well. I chose two different types of passwords (one master and another guest). The app allows me to chose all the applications that I consider private and want to be locked (such as emails, whatsapp, other chats, picture gallery etc). When I unlock my screen using the master password, the screen gets unlocked and all protected apps get unlocked as well. When I give my phone to someone else, I just give them my guest password. The screen gets unlocked normally using the guest password, however, all the protected apps continue to be locked. This helps me easily give my phone to others.
When I gave the app to my friends, the kind of response that I received was overwhelming. So launched it for public as well. You can download the app for free from Google Play. Just search for Pluggdd on Google Play, it is the only app on Pluggdd as the developer.
Looking forward to feedback from you all developers on what is missing in the app and what more features can I add.
Hi, I have XOLO Q800 running with android 4.2.1 and my son somehow enabled guest mode. When i try to remove / change it, it is asking for a password. My son says he did not give any password. With guest mode, i cannot see call log or SMS messages. How can i remove it without a password.

[Q] XDA app - unable to log in

I installed the XDA Developers app from Google Play, registered on this website using the Google+ account, then went into the profile to set a password. However, I am unable to login through the app. Logging in on the website using the password I set works just fine.
Am I doing it wrong? There aren't any options in the login other than username and password, which as I said, does not work in the app. I get an error stating I have used X out of 5 login attempts, that is all.
P.S: I am a brand new Android user (as of last Friday) and your guide/video to root my Xperia Z2 is what prompted me to register here.
Bump, this is still not working
Hey @Zaitzev
Do you have tried to write your username "Zaitzev" with a capital letter like "Zaitzev" instead of "zaitzev" .

Actually, I had an idea and went for it: I had a 32 random character alphanumeric password, but decided to change it to a 8 character password. It worked. And that is a security concern imo.
Edit: I sent a message to Archer about this issue, we'll see what the outcome of that is. Meanwhile, I'll keep the password short and simple..

Every time I install a new rom or do a factory reset it looks like I've been hacked

As the title say time I install a new rom or do a factory reset it looks like I've been hacked. As soon as I register and connect my phone to the internet google security activity shows that my phone has been connected from Irland or Germany although I'm connecting from Sweden. How can this be explained if I'm not being hacked? I take all the security measures, changing password etc... But yet this problem doesn't go away. Does this happen to anyone else?
give us more detail
did happen only with one device or more? what do u use for root, wich rom, custom recovery do u install? wich kind of gapps do u use? it happen just when u install the rom/recovery, or when u set up the gapps?
the foreign connection message is inside the gmail account? do u see foreign ip address logged when u are not logged or just foreign ip when u are logged? (this question is because maybe something use a vpn)
I use Viperone rom, but it does't matter what rom I use. As soon as i logg in to my google account it happens, on the google security activity where I can see my devices, it shows that I logged in from Irland or Germany, and after that it goes back to show that I logged in from Sweden. So far I noticed that it only happens on my phone, but in the past it use to happen on my PC too, and it does not show the ip address, it only shows the name of the country. This is how it looks like: http://imgur.com/2A9ZBJy Tyskland is Germany in Swedish and it's not supposed to be there with Irland.

when u install rom and configure gapps r u using your wifi? because is strange it happens also with your pc, maybe the problem is in your LAN, it happens just after the gapps setup after a fresh install or also later?
do u ose official gapps (and where is the source) or do u use other kind of gapps?
The roms that I use has allready Google apps installed. This time it happened right after I logged in to my phone. In the past it happened a day later.
It's possible that the new rom had it's location history set to those locations.. And Google apps like a good little app is telling where your are...
But it's wrong until it gets a proper location update.

Nope. I'm definitely being hacked. Everything points towards it. I change my password I format my PC I install the original android to my phone, same **** happens. It was not like this before.
There is a trojan that can not be found by virus, malware and trojan software. This bastard got me. I think it could be the government.
Now it looks like this,I got USA instead of Germay http://imgur.com/uYDxZ1j Am i being hacked or not? 6th februari is the day i changed my password, compare it with the first picture i posted.
make 2 new google account with your pc
wipe your phone and install a rom, than configure it with one new account
use it for a day
than with your pc go in both account and see if are both comprimised or not
Let's assume the worst thing, that I am being hacked. How can I stop this from happening? I already changed password (I'm doing that from time to time), I use 2 step verification and sms verification when I login to my Gmail and I got virus, malware and firewall softwares, what else can I do? How am I being hacked?

Maybe not on this forum, but there are other forums.
What rom are you using? Where did you get it?
What email app are you using?
Who is your internet provider for your device?
All of these can be factors in you being hacked...
Your rom could have a Trojan on it.
Your email could be not properly storing your password.
(Your not using the factory email app that uses the account your signed info your phone with are you? Please say no)
Is your internet provider known for making a federal case out of every request for information or do they give it out to anyone with a badge?
More information is needed before you can be helped.
First off change roms...
If you are using a oem rom get a custom rom from a popular developer.
Then change email providers
(Unless you are taking Google)
Then dump the two factor crap
Get a third party open source email app or use tor to sign in by web mail.
Change and set your password from a cafe or hotel Wi-Fi that is nowhere where you usually go.
Then see if you think you are being hacked..
If so trash the phone
Get a new one with cash..
Root it secure it
Try again
And if that still looks bad..
User paper and one time pads for encryption and safe drop points.
