[Q] Main Google account sign in error - solution other than reseting all data?

So I popped in another SIM to my phone temporarily, and in the process when I got my own back in, everything was fine EXCEPT
all my google accounts would not sign in, and would not accept their passwords. Strangely, 2/3 of them would not accept their password even on the pc in the browser. I briefly considered that I had been compromised but the timing is way too suspect with this never having happened before (the problem AND switching SIMs)
I reset those 2, and got them working on both the phone and pc browser again, on the phone only by deleting the accounts and re-adding them.
However, the remaining account (which I could always login on pc browser) will still not accept the password on the phone.
Because it is the main google account, it cannot be deleted on the phone except through a factory data reset.
I REALLY don't want to have to go through all that hassle of reconfiguring a million things just because something bugged out during switching SIMs.
How can I fix this without wasting my evening reseting settings and redownloading apps?

mobile data has always been disabled on this phone; since day 1.
why would it being disabled suddenly cause a problem now?
I don't pay for any data, so what exactly are you proposing I do?

fixed it.
was related to 2 step verification crap. turned it all off and worked again.

[Q] Use Secure Credentials

There are a couple of other threads on this topic that are still unanswered for other phones, here and here.
But I see this problem on the Sensation as well, but maybe even worse:
Using a secure wifi connection with a stored personal certificate.
After rebooting, the phone will not connect to the WiFi because the check-box for "Use Secure Credentials" under the Security settings screen is unchecked.
If you don't notice this, the WiFi manager will continue to retry many times (endless loop?) failing each time, while it may be connected to 4G. This probably drains the battery since my phone was getting somewhat warm during this retry process.
You may simply go to the screen and tick the check-box, and enter your password and everything should be okay. This is annoying at least.
But if you have never set up a "Secure Credentials" password, you have to first "Clear all Credentials" than enter a new password, just to tick the check-box. This is even more annoying..
Does anyone know if this is being resolved?
Is it an Android problem generally?

Howdy!
A bit late to the party...
Using an HTC Sensation running CM7.1 alpha 10
I also have this problem. Found an app that checks "Use Secured Credentials" at boot, but that is just an ugly fix https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.chunky.AutoKeystore
I have no idea why should it be unchecked. Maybe something to do with Android/Linux and permissions? Where in the filesystem are these kind of settings saved?

[Q] Use Secure Credentials - Unchecked After Rebooting Phone

The basic problem is that when connecting to an enterprise wifi network, you must enter a password for using secure credentials. The password entered is only valid for that session and does not survive a reboot. After rebooting, the check-box for "Use Secure Credentials" under the Security settings screen is unchecked. The phone will continue to try and connect to the enterprise wifi network (failing each time) until the "Use Secure Credentials" checkbox is checked and the password is entered.
I saw that there were several threads under several different phone subforums discussing this same issue. The closest solution I found was an app called Keystore Unlocker. Unfortunately, it does not work with the current version of su and appears to be abandoned.
I'm looking for any suggestions on how to automatically enable this option following a reboot. Any options including paid apps are perfectly fine. I'm also rooted.

Did you find a solution to this? It is really annoying.
Many thanks.

Nope.
It's pretty crazy that there is no way this can be done - even on a rooted phone.

Keystore Unlocker (root only)
An elegant solution to this issue. Works perfectly!

Fantastic!
Thanks for posting.

A strange thing happened. The Keystore Unlocker app stopped working for me. Previously, when my phone was booting up, I would see two "grants" for su for this app - one was for Keystore Unlocker and the other was for root. Now, when I reboot, I only see the first one. Strange thing is, when I do the "lock/unlock" test in the app, it works fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Cleared entries from Superuser. Reinitialized the keystore. Deleted and readded WiFi profiles. Cleared cache and Davlik.
Any other ideas?

For anyone following along, the most recent update to the Superuser app is what broke Keystore Unlocker. I downgraded and it's working again.

Snapdragon Battery Guru Admin access settings

Hello,
I am new to this form so please excuse me if i leave out some details but i own a oneplus one black 64gb running the latest ota cm11 update and one day I decided to explore a new app called "snapdragon battery guru." (it was new to me atleast) The app worked great for a week or 2 but then i noticed that my service was being messed up by the app(this isnt the issue) so i looked up some reviews and i saw many other people with the same problem so I decided to uninstall the app... (This is where the problem starts)
After uninstalling the app my phone constantly has messages on common things that i use most importantly the "disable lock screen" when on the home profiles so that i dont have to type in my password at home all the time. However, after uninstaling the app, that option in the profile settings is grayed out and says that it is "disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage"... again i looked it up on google and found that clearing my credential storage seems to be a temporary fix that last about 2 hours and then the option ends up graying out again. (which can get really really annoying because my vpns are constantly cleared out every time)
Can anyone please help me with this problem!
Thanks

Have you tried a factory reset? That's your best option.

Settings, security, device administrator, what do you have enabled there

NO connectivity even after factory reboot. Big problem, need help!

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 G920P.02
Android 5.1.1
Rooted, No ROMS
I am very, VERY confused. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I believe my phone is just fried but I will find out when I take it into the sprint store tomorrow. I will most likely get a new/replacement phone but they will have no idea what caused the problem and I need to figure out how this happened so it won't happen again. I'm also very curious as I don't understand at all.
The problem: It started with me not being able to connect to the internet on ANY of my apps. No crashes or anything, just no connectivity to the internet. Calls and SMS still worked like normal. After calling sprint support they told me dial ##72786#, which then just simply broke calls and SMS. Now NOTHING works.
What caused the problem: This is where I am most confused. I was trying to setup a VPN (purevpn, to be exact) on my Xbox One. In the process of this, I was modifying my router settings on my Windows 8 PC, plugged in a 2nd router, and constantly turned the wifi off and on. I was using my phone to test if the wifi was still working. (e.g. going to google.com on firefox or launching clash of clans...literally that was it) The only thing that I can think may have messed it up was a step in settings up the VPN. On my computer, after I installed the purevpn software I located myself to "Network and Sharing Center", then clicked "Adapter Settings", then clicked on "Pure VPN", then "Sharing", then checked the box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection", and lastly from the drop down menu, selected "Local Area Network." This allowed all devices on my network to use the VPN. Somehow this messed up my phone that hard?

Steps I have taken to fix this: I tried rebooting my times a million times. Then I cleared DNS cache in firefox and tried to connect. Then I tried hard rebooting my phone to flush DNS cache. Then I called sprint support, who told me dial ##72786#. After dialing this, calling and SMS DO NOT WORK. "Hands free activation" starting running after dialing that number and fails to work everytime. When I wasn't able to call the phone rep back, I used the sprint online chat support. I told the online rep what happened, and they assured me the only way to fix this was to factory reset my phone. As frustrated as I was, I did it. After the factory reboot, my phone STILL CAN'T CONNECT TO ****. Exactly how it was before the reboot, except I lost all of my stuff. I have done countless google searches and am clueless and need help.

Google will push all your stuff back to the phone after you log into your account. But you'll need the internet for that.
How did you get root?

I really don't remember, It was months ago. I paid $30 for it though and have never had issues with it.

Just brought it into a sprint tech store and they fixed by putting in a fresh sim card, reseting the phone, cache, dns, and everything they could reset. After that did not work they flashed an updated version of my phones software on the phone, which removed the root , and fixed the issue.
I explained what I did to all of the employees in the store (I was the only one there) and they were all as clueless as me.
Does anyone know what could have possibly caused this?
