Play Store vulnerability. - Android General

I recently was thinking about something, I decided to test it out.
On the Play Store app, you can choose to add a pin number, and make this pin be required to make purchases.
This is a good idea, as we don't want anyone charging our credit cards or carrier bills if our device gets lost/stolen.
However, there is a flaw in this. The aforementioned pin number is stored locally on the device, whilst the credit card info is connected to your google account, and obviously your carrier billing options are stored online.
All someone has to do to be able to make purchases on a supposed secure play store is go to Settings>Applications>All>Google Play Store and click clear data. No more pin.

The fix to this would obviously be that google have the pin be connected to your google account, instead of stored locally on the device.
Reported to Google. PLEASE STAR THE ISSUE! Will help it get to the people that can fix the problem!

Good find man! Definitely opens up my eyes, as my little brother has a phone with my google account on it, because of all the apps I've bought-en, and I enabled the pin feature on it.

Wow... way to drop the ball on that one google!!!

Yeah. Not sure they've ever thought of it or not.

What?I haven't made any purchases yet, but my friends come to me on some days and they could buy paid apps.This must be fixed soon.

I notice this a lot when I update my ROM. Because it doesn't come packaged with gapps (well it wouldn't, it's illegal to do that), the data gets cleared when you reinstall the play store, thus no more pin. As I update daily, I never have the pin for more than one day, which is a major security flaw IMO

Indeed Maybe Google needs to be informed of this!

Thanks guys, added that in a comment on the google code page.

Actually, I believe that function is more of a "Child Lock". The screen lock/wipe is supposedly what prevents stolen phones from being used. In most cases, someone that usually knows your password (Of course, adb enabled phones can have their screen lock disabled). That's usually your kids that use your phone for games, watching videos, etc. That's what the pin is for - blocking them from downloading paid stuff without your knowledge. I suppose Google doesn't think that they would be the ones who will be hacking your phone, and of course, not be the ones who steal your phone.

Just added a link to the google support issue page in a few of my newer videos, and in a few of my most popular videos!

We need to get this big, it needs as many people as possible to star it. We really need to get this on the portal and everywhere else

Why did you start another thread for this app?
What was wrong with this one?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568649
There is a mass amount of information in the Android apps section. We certainly don't need multiple threads for the same app, by the same person.
I thought you were going to be removing the phone number requirement. Did you start this new thread to hide the phone number requirement complaints from the other thread?
Now I'm wondering if your app is shady, and simply farming phone numbers.
Please explain, because I am about to go on a crusade AGAINST this app.
this is what happened ----->>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ms.android.mixtapes
my app was removed from the android market and the link about is a new one directly to mediafire. Im still working on the profile page and im definitely removing the phone number. If you want just type any number in the box doesnt make a difference to me, it can be all 1's if it makes you feel better.
hope this clears up the questions
Why did google remove it from the play store? Another reason to presume it's shady :/

Why start a new thread, and not just edit the old one? You could have made the old thread say whatever you wanted with whatever link you wanted, just by editing the post. You don't need to start an entirely new one. I have threads I started months ago where I still edit the first post with new and updated information.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification. I will be keeping my eye out for the removal of the phone number requirement.

someone sent a dcma complaint saying i was stealing intellectual property and violating copyright infringement. they did it out of spite or to remove me as competition from the market. everything in the app was designed by my graphic designer from scratch. and google didnt even care to warn me they just removed us.

EDIT: Here is the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5j8rUklR-U
I can understand Samsung's motivation to block this. Even though it seems like a somewhat trivial app to this audience, in the marketplace it would be positioned as a differentiator, and you can be confident that at least part of the idea is to blunt the impact of Siri on Samsung sales (and there's no need to debate differences between Siri, S Voice, the eventual advent of Majel, etc - just commenting on today's motivation for Samsung to keep this restricted to S3).
Another possibility: Vlingo has been evolving their product, and if you go to the Play Store you'll find the Vlingo labs version - which is essentially the same as S Voice with a smaller "vocabulary" of functions you can invoke. It really appears that they're gearing up this new version of Vlingo for ALL phones, but my guess is that they have an agreement in place with Samsung to hold off for a while so the S3 can enjoy having this functionality exclusively at first. Also possible that Samsung and Vlingo have a licensing agreement that restricts the phones that the app runs on for some period of time.
I can easily imagine business execs at Samsung and at Vlingo getting more than a bit stressed over this...

No problem with the app. I'm running the modded version (posted on one of these S Voice threads) that doesn't require modding build.prop -- works perfectly. I send text messages, emails, check the weather and just posted to FB. Re: FB - I do NOT have the app installed right now (older version ate battery - no idea about 1.9 yet - may try later). Anyway -- I tried it this way: I told S Voice: "update Facebook". It then show the FB login dialog and noted that I had to be logged in so that it could update FB. I filled in username / pswd, and it's been working fine ever since then. Just needed login credentials.
Try just saying "update Facebook" the first time, it should prompt for credentials, and then remember them for future use.
EDIT: also just logged into Twitter the same way -- said, "Tweet" and it prompted me for twitter credentials. Now that it's got them, I'm good to go. Almost too easy!

Sorry I don't know of any. I would assume that at some point there will be more digital wallets utilizing nfc. I would be really suprised if PayPal doesn't get in the game really soon.
To pay at Starbucks you need their mobile app which has a barcode that will scan at their scanner, I use it all the time. You an connect a gift card to the mobile app and then have that gift card auto reloaded by your credit card.
Try & checkout your local McD's to see they are participating and/or rolling out the pilot program, namely ISIS Mobile Payment system - details here - http://nrn.com/blog/what-they-didnt-tell-you-about-mcdonalds-mobile-payments-trials
I do recall seeing a similar terminal (didn't pay much attention to details) recently at the local McD while getting coffee in the morning - next to thte cash register, not sure if it was functional.
I suppose the demographic profiles of the junk-food consumer going to Golden Arches are more aligned with using smartphones like N5 with NFC enabled, oookkkaaayyy.

I was at Jack in the Box last week when I looked down and saw the "sideways wifi symbol" of PayPass. I had already setup Wallet on my phone so I gave it a try. It worked great. I tapped, my phone asked me for my pin, and then a few seconds later a receipt for my meal popped up on my phone. Later that night I tried at the CVS. I had read somewhere that if you are asked for a option (debit, credit....) choose credit. That is what I did at the CVS and all was well.
I am not sure how useful paying with Google Wallet is, but it sure was fun. The Jack in the Box lady told me I was only the 2nd person she saw pay like that...... trend setter and all

Pixel 2 9.0 FRP bypass

I recently bought a pixel 2 XL for cheap on ebay, turns out it is FRP locked. I was looking for a bypass and they all seem to be patched. E.g. Talkback, maps, magnification. While digging I was able to get to the internet in a limited capacity. The google keyboard allows you to search for gifs and I was able open a tenor gif which had the a link to see more gifs which led me to a website. Ill link pictures. I was able to navigate from there to facebook and then to youtube and the rest of the internet by logging into facebook and messaging myself or posting links privately on my wall. What I could not do was launch other apps or download anything. Anyways this is what I've manage so far, hopefully someone can finish what I have started.

That's kinda not helpful at all. The way it works is you post your method and anyone who accidentally locked their own device can unlock it. Naturally, this is not useful for blacklisted IMEIs in the US.
so sad to see no updates on this thread, I've had this stupid pixel for months now while my gfs phone continues to detoriate, and I'm really hoping someone discovers a new method soon. I don't trust the guy who posted that and then disappeared when he was essentially asked to prove it lol

The problem with any discussion about bypassing Google's Factory Reset Protection - even if it were possible - is that it is impossible to determine if we're helping people legitimately access their phone or if we're helping them take over an ill-gotten phone. That's why conversations around this topic always stall out. We don't want to go around accusing people and we also don't want to even inadvertently be party to theft.

We have to give benefit of the doubt. But I agree with you entirely.

I’m not able to find a true working frp bypass. I don’t get a search icons to bypass like all the videos show for android P. And the helo&feedback button doesn’t take you anywhere. So I’m guessing Verizon blocked it in the last patch
The only way to fix this is to send it back to the seller. Ask for a refund.
No news?

Factory Reset Protection is Annoying, Get Rid of it!!!
I purchased a Google Pixel 2 Certified Refurbished on Amazon and I have this issue as well. If anyone has a solution I suggest they post it...party to theft or not, **** happens and I hate when device vendors install crap like this claiming it's to prevent theft....it's to boost sales, period. Fortunately I can get a refund or replacement but its a bleeping waist of time having to mail in my phone and wait for another phone be sent to me.
IMO this factory reset protection hurts more legitimate users than it protects. It create brick/useless devices that is a waist of resources just so companies can make more $ . . . If you lose your phone, track it down, get insurance and/or consider it a loss. If I irreversibly lost my phone I would not harbor some BS attachment to it...Ideally I would like it returned but alternatively I'd prefer someone else make use of it than create more waist.
