I've got a Unihertz Jelly 2 with T-Mobile service. It's running Android 11. First thing I did when getting it, about two weeks ago, was disable a bunch of Google-ish apps because I'd mostly like Google out of my life. I know from past experience that I can't disable them all because, eg, play store is too useful for me to do without. I'm afraid I may have caused this issue I'm seeing because of my disable frenzy and I'm hoping someone can help me understand what's gone wrong.
Every couple of days I get these messages from number 2903: "We see your phone does have correct settings to access the internet or send MMS. Settings will be sent to your handset."

They are accompanied by notifications from Omacp app:
In Omacp I see requests to install things. When I click the button to do the full install I get a report that the APN installed fine but the "browser" failed:
Afterwards it tells me the browser is "unsupported":
What "browser" is it talking about? I thought it might have been Chrome, which was one of the apps I disabled, but re-enabling Chrome did not resolve this.
Still disabled on my phone: Assistant, Calculator, Calendar, Drive, Duo, Files by Google, Google TV, Keep Notes, Photos, Youtube, Youtube Music.
Not disabled (because I thought it would break stuff, I coudn't, or the warning messages too dire): Android Accessibility Suite, Android Auto, Android System Webview, Carrier Services, Game Mode, Gboard, Gmail, Google, Google Play Store, Maps, Messages, Phone, Settings, Sim Toolkit.
When I get the messages from 2903 for omacp, I need to do the install or MMS messaging does not work. This sort of feels like it should be happening automatically in the background.
I have the same issue. Any resolution on this?

i am looking for a way to schedule sending emails with my Gmail account. i came across Boomerang for Gmail which does exactly what i need it to. it installs as a plugin for Chrome browser and once installed, when i compose a new email in Gmail account, right next to the "send" button, there is now a new Boomerang send button.
what i need to know is if plugins like these can steal passwords. i know i should have thought about that before i installed it but it didn't occurred to me until after the fact. thanks for letting me know!
if permissions include access to cookies it can

They can easily steal your password if they're active when you type it in, but not after that.

As far as I am aware, unless they have some sort of keylogger, they cannot get your password, per-se.
However, (As also mentioned above), if they have access to cookies, they can login in your name. Additionally, some sites have the ability to hook in with google, and get "access" to your account if you approve it.

I could quite easily write a Chrome extension that popped up a window with your username and password in it, but it would have to capture them at a login screen, and not with a keylogger.
An extension has access to every control on every page that it is running.
Chrome would tell you, when you installed the extension, that it could access your google username and password though, so it could never do anything without you first allowing it to. Saying that though, there's a lot of people that just click 'Okay' without knowing what they're clicking!
Everyone knows that feeling when someone asks to use your phone but you’re scared they’ll go through your phone’s content. Once you give them your phone, they are able to go through everything important to you, including your messages, your photos and emails. Imagine yourself jogging and a child comes up to you and asks to use your phone so that they can find their mother. You give them your phone, and after they call their mother they go through your photos. This is obviously a privacy concern, and it’s a wonder why there isn’t a way to avoid this. Modern day computers have a feature so that when someone asks to use your computer, they can’t go through your personal files, they’re all hidden. You would think that with the way technology is advancing in this day and age, smartphones would have this feature also. That’s why Obstructer was developed, to offer a solution to this problem.
When you first open Obstructer, it prompts you to set it as the default launcher. This is to ensure that the home button is disabled. The user is locked into the app and nothing is accessible, besides the calling feature, of course. When that person is finished with their call, a password prompt opens. When the correct password is entered (“1234” is the default), Obstructer is disabled and your phone is returned back to normal. It is a simple app to use, but helpful in a lot of ways. The free version includes all of these features, and the paid version adds a messaging feature, so that someone can send a message to someone without being able to see your messages. A photo feature is coming soon, so that you’ll be able to show someone one photo without them being able to scroll through your whole photo gallery.

Full disclosure, I have already asked this in the Galaxy Nexus section of the site. But I noticed that some other people across other devices have had very similar issues. So hopefully someone, at some point has been able to solve this conundrum.
Here is my current situation:
About a week ago, I noticed that I had stopped receiving notifications from Gmail. I could still open the Gmail app and read my emails, so I didn't think much about it. Then 3 days later, I noticed that none of my email was showing up, and when I would try and refresh or sync from within Gmail, I got a message that there was no network connection. After that, I went into my Account Settings to verify that I had not somehow accidentally turned off Gmail sync. It was, in fact, still checked. However, it showed that it had not been able to sync since 2/13. Additionally, my Google Calendar, Google Play Music, People Details, and one or two other services are not able to sync. There is a message at the bottom of this screen that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Like I stated, this has been the case for 5 days.
I will also list what I've done to try and fix it so far, just so I don't get a bunch of suggestions that I've already tried.
- Clear cache for affected applications. No Change.
- Clear DATA for affected applications. No Change.
- Turn off, then turn on Sync for my Google account several times, with and without rebooting in between. No Change.
- Wipe the Rom, then install a new Rom and kernel. Upon doing this, I could not even get past the registration, as the phone repeatedly said that it was unable to contact Google servers. This was attempted both on LTE and WiFi. I eventually had to Restore via CWM.
The device is a VZW Galaxy Nexus, running the FML fork of CM11 and has the Mpokang 1080p kernel. I have been running this setup for a few months with no issues at all. Gmail still syncs and functions fine on my Xperia Play and Kindle Fire when on WiFi, so it doesn't seem to be an overall problem with my Google account.
Any other ideas as to what I might try?
I've also attached screenshots of the issue. Two of the images show what my Google Account Sync looks like, and one image shows all I can see when I go into the Gmail app. I did black out my account name, but that is all.

Last night, my Google Play Store stopped working. So I did a little more research, and was able to resolve the problem. If anyone runs into this issue in the future, it was simply a matter of having a somehow corrupted hosts file. If you use ES File Explorer (or other similar app), navigate to your root directory, go to /system/etc and find the file called "hosts" without a file extension. You have to mount r/w, then rename, move, or delete the hosts file. Once this is done, reboot the device. It took a bit longer to fully reboot, but once it did, all functionality returned.
I'm using my G4 on Straight Talk, with an AT&T compatible sim card. In LG's Messaging app, there's a persistent pop-up from AT&T Messages Backup & Sync that appears pretty much every time the app is opened:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
According to the FAQs linked to on the page, turning this off involves opening the app's settings, going to AT&T Messages Backup & Sync, and selecting "Stop Backup." However, this doesn't appear. All other solutions listed involve turning the service off in my AT&T account--which doesn't exist, because I'm on Straight Talk.
Has anyone found a way to get rid of this message? I'm running Marshmallow, so rooting, unfortunately, is not yet an option. Is there an MMI code to dial bringing up a menu with an option to set the registration for this service as complete, like there is for the AT&T Contacts messages? Or some other option altogether?
I know that I could use a third-party messaging app, but I haven't found one other than this that will automatically enable and disable my data connection to download MMS, which I've quickly gotten used to in the week or so since I've had this phone. If anyone has any suggestions as to something that does do this, I'm certainly open to trying it. Either way, any help is appreciated.
try using a different messaging app, Hangouts or Googles Messaging app, then after you set it up try wiping the stock messaging app. I use a different messaging app and when I go into the stock app and try to turn on AT&T Messages & Sync I get a window pop up that states I need to activate the stock app as default to use Messages &Sync.
Be sure to back up your messages first before you attempt anything, if you want to save your messages.
You can disable it in settings/apps and show system.
That worked! Thank you so much!
Thanks OP. Good ole XDA.
Hey guys, I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out.. Probably a week or two ago I stopped getting logged out notifications, I use the Tap login (saved password login) where it shows your picture and you tap it once to log in, the problem is it no longer shows the red dot with the number of notifications waiting anymore. Here are the things I've tried.
Going to APPS in Settings and checking that "Show Notifications" is enabled, which it is.

}
Went to in-app Settings and Notification Settings (assuming that even has any effect on Logged out notifications I'm not sure if it does or not.) Still appears to be ok settings.
Other things I've tried:
Clearing FB app cache.
Clearing FB app data.
Unintalling FB app completely (including files left after uninstall)
Reinstalling FB app.
Clearing Cache from Recovery Mode.
Factory Reset from Recovery Mode.
None of which has fixed the problem.
Here are some details that may be useful:
Phone: ZTE ZMAX2 (z958)
Android OS Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Facebook App version: 180.0.0.35.82
I thought maybe FB broke something in one of their updates or something but everyone knows FB has next to nothing as far as support, they do have the "report a problem" on facebook but you always get an automated reply and never really know if your getting anywhere by reporting it. Also the developer email on google play but again with so many users I imagine the amount of support emails I doubt they are able to monitor them efficiently.
Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what the problem could be? Could it be an android setting somewhere that is blocking the apps logged out notifications? Or possibly app not syncing?
Any help would be appreciated.
bump... Anyone?
