About a month ago I turned off the "sharing device info" option in Google settings. Now after I turn it back on it doesn't actually "turn back on" and the issue has plagued all devices with my account now. Although it's turned back on it doesn't save a list of my installed apps or system state and after a few reboots the option is turned back off. I've tried doing a clean flash and setting up as a new device or even restoring from a previous one but no dice. Upon calling Google support to see if they could just reset the option they advised me to "contact my device manufacturer to help in configuring" so they were a lot of help. /s
Has anyone else had to deal with this issue?
I'm running lollipop fwiw.

How to remove the applications you begin to install after each hard reset using Google backup&restore?
I'm not talking about the Contacts or Gmail being pulled in (that's fine),I just don't want the apps & settings
I've tried the various resets (with backup turned off), but nothing gets me back to a blank, clean phone.
Is there a way to remove?
Thanks.
Oddly enough, this never works for me anymore. Contacts and whatnot come back, but applications never self reinstall since about six months ago. I always assumed since I have to agree to the terms and conditions of the market, it won't start running until I've done so. No real idea though, if anything, don't add your Google info in the initial setup. Set up your settings and whatever else you need to do, then add your Google account info in Settings > Accounts. From there, if it starts to redownload everything, just cancel them before they have a chance to finish. You could also try force closing the market. I did that once when it started to download my apps, it got one app through and quit the rest.
I've checked the online market, there's no settings in there. Hope you figure it out.
When you add the Google account, at the very end, there is this option "Keep this phone backed up with my google account". Unselect that option.
Untick "Automatic restore"
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.

Hey All, my google assistant on my pixel 2 stock rooted June patch on verizon is having odd behavior. It seems that localized commands will work such as, "hey google, what is the weather" or "okay google, turn off mobile data".
When i ask something that requires assistant to go out to thew web for results, it will recognize the command but then it will show the three dots as if it's searching but never return results. Another strange thing is that when i ask it to call my voicemail, it will do the same thing but if i turn off mobile data, it will make the call .
i've tried clearing google app data and cache. i've also taken the SIM out and put it back in but the issue persists.
anyone else ever experience this? any suggestions?
i re-downloaded and re-flashed the system image. issue persists.
Fixed it. Needed to uninstall the Google app updates. I updated again via the n play store and it continued to work
I have big and annoying problem. Almost every time a touch my phone and screen is on, a prompt for turning wifi location scanning appear with options for cancel or ok. Whatever I do it appears again. If i turn wifi scanning on, it turn off after a minute. If i turn it off, then a message to turn it on appears. Ive tried to clear Google play services cache, uninstall Google play services update. It was ok for a few hours then again the prompt appear. It is the same message appear on my Huawei mediapad m5, but sometimes. Maybe because i dont go anywhere with the tablet. Maybe its something with wifi+ option, but Im using and like wifi+. I don't want to the full reset or clear cache settings, since i believe it's something go wrong with google account. Any ideas? It will be very sad if i do full reset and the problem still exists...
turn off wifi + and wifi scanning and also uninstall the google play services updates
Hello. I did that many times. On all of my devices. I don't want to turn off wifi+ because i use it a lot.
First the problem appear when my phone or tablet found some of the networks I've add before, even if i set to forget the network years ago. It's seems that Google remember all of my network I've add to the account. So. I deleted Google now cache, disabled it and enabled. Same for google service, uninstalled updates and update it again. And ive set the Google account to delete all of my history.
Second. There's a update from Huawei about this. It's not available and installed yet but i dont know did I fix the problem, or Huawei update something secretly and now problem disappear. Wifi+ works ok.
Hi folks, had an issue with my camera/torch on my U11. I've had it for about 3 yrs and no troubles. It began crashing with the message "Unable to load the camera" and the torch icon was greyed out. I could see the samera dialog when I pressed the "Clear All" button, but it woul;dn't activate. The tech looked at it and said I could try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem, otherwise they could burn several hours troubleshooting software or replacing the camera, if that was the problem.
I have everything backed up on my Google account, messages, contacts, apps etc, so I tried the factory reset. Had some issues with Google Play crashing initially, once I got past the language change. The app crashed several times before I finally got it to load. Not wanting to restore everything at once, I skipped the step to restore apps from back up and data and went right to the clean phone. Now, when I try and open Google Play Store (or add a Google Account or anything Google), the app crashes just as it gets to the login screen. I've tried re-booting, clearing the cache, disabling the Boost+ as someone suggested in another forum, re-started, checked notifications and permissions but nothing seems to work...time for a new phone or does anyone have any ideas... thanks. Chris

I removed the micro-SD external storage and turned off the WiFi and it connected. Still no camera or torch/flashlight, which is why I went through the whole exercise to begin with. At least I can now log into Google (Play Store, GMail, accounts, etc)....

Thanks bud...while I am capable of going the DIT route, I'm time poor and have already burned a number of hours just getting to the point where I can now at least log in to my Google accounts to re-install apps and such. I will need a camera going forward, but will likely take the easy route that most camera makers prefer and buy a new one...I appreciate you taking your time to reply. Thanks!!
