[Q] [Help] Tap and go not working for me. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried tap and go between my nexus 7 and OPO and it's not working. My nexus 7 says that a new device was set up but my OPO says that my account could not be restored.
Tap and go used to work fine for me. Then I started just restoring from previous devices (option after tap and go) but realized that it wasn't showing newer "devices" (I only have the two that I'm currently using) from recent ROM flashes. Both devices are only showing ones from more than 3 weeks ago and I've flashed both devices, especially my OPO, several times in that period. Prior to this problem I'd get choices like "last used today or one day ago". I have my account set up to backup and restore automatically.
I've done Google searches and haven't been able to find anything. Has anyone else had this problem and/or know a possible cause/solution?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[Q] [HELP] Samsung Galaxy S2(GT-I9100) wont remember settings after reboot

EDIT2: It seems that it wont remember settings either. I disable WiFi, and after reboot its back on. Same with all other settings. If I uinstall an app, its back in normal function after reboot. If I install a new app, its gone after reboot. And I cant even perform a hard reset, everything back to normal after I tried it... sick stuff!!
EDIT: Actually it seems like it wont accept new installations or something. Because now it found new updates to apps I did upgrade earlier this morning already...
Its the two latest installed apps Im missing after installing them (Swiftkey X and Dolphin Browser HD). Also now Im trying to upgrade my phone to version 4 of android, but after downloading the firmvare, it need a restart and then I have the same problem as with the apps. Its like I never downloaded the firmware, tried 3 times now and all 3 times the same happens. Anyone have similar problems with their phones??
Also noticed that last the phone reset itself it yesterday at approximately 9.04 (that was when my weather app last updated). Really wonder what can cause this? No one with any similar experiences or possible solutions?

Problems with the ADM (Device Manager)

Heya guys,
Just unboxed my N5 and went through the rigmarole of turning it on etc.
For some reason, it didn't want me to log in with my account details before showing me the home screen (not sure why).
So it didn't give me the option of downloading all my apps from my Galaxy Nexus (I know, 2 year old phone).
So, I wanted to test out the vibration on it from a phone call, and instead of mucking about, I thought I'd check out the ADM and lock/ring the device.
To my pleasure the device showed up in the ADM: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager - but the location wasn't being found.
I have followed the troubleshooting page: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3265955?p=android_device_manager&rd=1#
So I've cleared out the google play services several times, restarted the phone several times - all to no avail.
My galaxy nexus is reporting correctly (when I connect it to a network - I have temporarily disconnected it thinking that it may have caused an issue).
Does anyone have any additional ideas?
Is this a common N5 issue or is everyone else working just fine?

[Completed] [Q] play store

hi there im hoping someone out there can help.
i have an m8 which i rooted last month after rooting i quickly decided that it wasnt something i would actually get the use from and so unrooted it and restored the factory rom. since then ive been plagued with rcp errors when using the play store. sometimes clearing data and caches works but other times its days later before i can install the apps i wanted.
after hours online and more hours playing around with the phone a realized that when i go to settings/apps/googleplayservices all options are greyed out, it seems like the app has been disabled somehow and dosent seem to be a way of re-enabling it finding it in play store it allows me to open it and gives me the option to disable it from there but even when clicking it it dosent seem to have an affect. im hoping that by rooting it and unrooting i i havent screwed something up.
Hi,
I need to know which M8 you have. There are seperate sections for each model/carrier. Then I can point you to a place to ask for help. ?

[Q] Contact repeatedly downloaded (25,000), new contacts not added

Hi, I have just found out that it is also happening on another phone (LG G2) so I suspect it is do do with google contacts (perhaps the new contacts they have out). I have therefore asked the question in the Android section http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/google-contacts-repeatedly-download-25-t3114949. I wanted to delete this but do not know how. If somebody can, then please do so.
Hi,
I have been searching for a solution to this without luck. I have found others reporting more or less the same problem, but no solutions.
The manifestation of the problem means that I can not add new contacts. If I add one it stays there for a little while (until the next google account sync I suspect). I tried contacts sync fix and it told me there were 25,000 contacts. This, it seems is the limit in Android. However, checing on my google account I only have 902. Given that the limit has been reached I guess it is fair enough that it will not store new contacts.
However, I do not know why it keeps on downloading my contacts (or at least until the limit has been reached). I have reset the phone, but from the "backup and reset' menu in settings and now also from recovery (Cyanogen, the standard one), where I have wiped the cache too. All in vain.
I am not installing any apps at all except those that comes with Cyanogen.
I am running:
Cyanogen 12.0-YNG1TAS17L
Androdi: 5.0.2
Baseband is DI.3.0.c6.00230 and then a long sequence
Kernel is 3.4.67 from April 21
Build is LRX22G
I am 90% sure the problem was not there under CM 11.
Anybody got a solution or suggestions? It seems very strange to me that I am the (almost) only one having this problem
Thanks in advance.

Samsung Gear S3 and Mi Mix 3

Hey Guys!
I'm at the brink of a nervous breakdown right now, since I've been trying to solve this in my own for hours now, with no success whatsoever, so I decided to look here for help.
I've recently updated my Mi Mix 2 to a Mi Mix 3 and thus far, I'm loving it, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to properly get my Gear S3 up and running. The Watch is connected and everything that is initially in the box is working fine. I just want to reinstall the watchface I had, when using it with the Mi Mix 2 and the timer App (that for some reason Samsung decided was not part of the "out of the box experience" anymore). In order to do that I have to sign in to my Samsung Account and herein lies the problem: I can't. When I click on the "Sign in" Button a white box appears in which you'd usually expect to find input fields for user, password and a captcha, but in my case, the box stays white and that's that.
I should mention that everything used to work perfectly with my Mix 2, but the watch resets when paired with a new phone.
I searched the Internet far and wide, but none of the many suggested solutions did work for me.
I erased Cache and Data for all three required Apps multiple times. Reinstalled them, reset the watch a bunch of times, tried older versions of the wearable app, tweaked permissions and power management setting in every direction possible, played with developer options... nothing. I screwed around for several hours now and I'm finally giving up.
I'm on stock Global ROM btw (the latest version)
Any suggestions are highly appreciated at this point.
Thanks a lot,
Banton

Do you have the Samsung Wear app installed on your device?
Yes, of course I have the wear App installed. Turns out, this is not a Mi Mix related problem after all, it just coincidentally happened to occur when I was switching phones. Meanwhile the Samsung support forums are full with people having the same issue with non-Samsung phones. Thus far no help from Samsung whatsoever.
repair to gear s3
i also have the same issue, but it only start to appear when i flash custom rom and enable dark mode on system UI. So maybe you can try to change sustem UI colors, becouse in my opinion thats the case that make it happend. I also try to solve that issue on my phone and let you know if i find something in this thread

This could related to the theme you're using on your Mix 3. I use a true black theme and some of the popups that come up look like blank white boxes. If you're using a custom theme, try changing it back to default while setting up your watch. That being said, if a bunch of other people are having the issue on other phones this may not be relevant.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys, but it is definitivly not theme related - nor Xiaomi related for that matter. Look over at the Samsung support forums, you will see that hundreds of people have the issue, no matter which phone, or even Android version they are on. (Except Samsung phones because the login procedere works differently).
As of right now, it seems either a software update could fix this, or something on the server side, either way it's Samsung's move.
If anything happens, I'll let you know.
It just randomly started working again. I guess, the ones who could fix the server just were on their easter vacation.
