[Q] Google Device Manager not working after update

Since the Update to 1.1 , after reinstalling GAPPS my FP isnt shown in the Device-Manager
i can see it in the Browser unter My Devices but not in the Device-Manager.
Other users told me that it was visible bevore the Update but neither it was possible to get the location of the FP nor to let it ring from remote.
Are there any workarounds, or solutions for this issue?

I managed to solve this by resetting Google Play Services...
Go to System > Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services
Disable
Uninstall Updates (go ahead with deactivating as Device Manager)
Uninstall updates (again!)
Force Stop
Disable
Clear cache
It takes many steps to disable this thing
Now you can Enable it back.
You should have a Notification saying "App application requires updating google play services", or simply open this link on your device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms and update
For the following final steps, check the Help pages if you don't want to provide google with too much information
Open the newly updated Google Play Services and enable stuff you need under the Andrdoid Device Manager subsection.
Verify if Location > Access location is enabled...
Hope that works for you, it did for me!

for me too Thx!

After the update to 1.6 the Problem came back but now i cant close Google Play Services because when i want to , it says that it is impossible to Uninstall Play Services because it is an active Device-Administrator..
can anyone confirm this issue or even provide a solution?
thx

I can still locate my device after the upgrade.I also applied the partitioning update, so this may be due my phone losing all its data as part of the upgrade process.
Strangely enough, Play Services is not a Device-Administrator on my phone, nor is asking to be one. Can you revoke Device-Administrator status via Settings>Security>Device administrators?

i did the repartitioning too and now it seems to work

Galaxy Note 8.0 broke after latest update

Had perfectly running tablet until I installed the latest recommended update. Now none of the buttons function. I can't even power off device with power button it only restarts. Anyone else having this issue or have a fix other than factory reset?

What have you done?

Nothing so far, problems started occurring after applying latest update. Side power button does not show power options anymore, can only restart after holding button in. Bottom buttons don't work.

I have a kk note 8.0 that I have been messing with on KK issues. Use to backup and freeze the update or remove it. It really does not do any th8ng but disable tweaks and mods from rooting. Many have seen issues from it.

How do you remove update without doing factory reset or is that not possible?

If you have rooted, install ti backup if youhave not already, and search for security, and it should list one with more info in the name.. should have 1.1 or 2.2 near the end of the name.
the file name should be explanitory. depending on what you have installed, you may see more files with security shown in the list. you want to identify the file in red, as red is used fo r system files.
tap on the file and select remove in the upper right.
if ti backup is too complicated... you may find the app in app manager listed in all apps. you may be able to disable the app, as i recall that you are given adisclamer during the install, about how to disable its function.

[Q] Can't seem to install .apk files?

I've been trying to install Game killer (the equivalent of CheatEngine on PC) except I ran into a very unusual problem. I've been using "Application installer". I would provide a link to the app, but I seems that the site won't let me.
The problem is that when I try to install the Game killer .apk through this installer app, I get to the usual permissions interface where I see what permissions the apk needs and all that. What's strange is that I cannot seem to click the Install button. I can interact with every other part of the screen, but I simply cannot hit the install button. Even pressing my finger onto the install button and then sliding towards the "Back" button will cause the back button to illuminate like it usually does, but I still cannot select the install button.
I'm running stock ROM, stock Kernels, stock everything. Device is rooted. I can install apps from google play just fine, but of course, Gamekiller is not on the play store.

I ran into a similar problem when I installed a screen rotation app. With the rotation app intstalled I could not install any other apps that were not from the app store. Once I removed the rotation app everything was fine. This a security feature in android to prevent apps from modifying your screen without you knowing it. Check if you have installed any app that could have modified your screen.

I had the same issue on mine, the app total screen control was the culprit. I couldn't get apps to install when TSC was active.

Are you using any type of screen filters? If you are, disable them and it should be able to work now.

System UI error

Error message:"Unfortunately, system ui has stopped."
All I did was unlock my galaxy tab 3 lite and the error appeared. Also I gone onto the recovery menu and tried to wipe cache although I just receive an error and my tablet turns back on.
Can someone help????!!!!!!!

Me too, when i hold down home button for recent apps switcher.
BUT- it works in landscape mode!
Seemed to start after recent Google update.
Rooted 310 with bloat removed, Google Now launcher on Touchwiz.

It is a google error. They have tried to add search functionality to recent apps screen. I would just uninstall updates for google search app.

What will happen if I do uninstall google apps updates?

Google Backup Issues

I am having a strange issue with the settings-->system-->backup feature to backup apps and settings to google.
Basically it has the Back up Now button grayed out and just says "waiting to backup"
I found a thread through google which someone mentioned disabling screen lock (pin/face/FPR etc...) so i disabled it and it immediately allowed me to start a backup...
any ideas? do i always need to disable security to create the backups?

Hmm - that is annoying (mine is the same) as my MDM requires security to be enabled.
