<note: this was accidentally posted in the Note 4 General forum>
I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but it's driving me crazy. I (mistakenly) took the latest Verizon update a couple of days ago and immediately noticed that Smart Lock stopped working. I had it working perfectly with my home address and several bluetooth devices prior to the update.
I tried everything I could think of to resolve it, including disabling Smart Lock, removing and re-adding the devices, and even hard resetting my Note 4. The only way I can make it come back is to remove my Exchange account from the phone. Once I do that then Smart Lock starts working again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or knows how to work around it? I wish I could go back and not take the update but I see now there is no way to roll back at this point. I could try to call Verizon and have them send me a refurb but I thought I read that you can't block the OTA updater unless you're on 4.4. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance. This has been very frustrating. Alternatively if anyone knows of any other smart lock type applications that would work with the Note 4 to replace this functionality I'd be ok with that too.
smat lock and exchange
One of my co workers are having the same problem on his note 4 I have the note 5 and it works great
have you figured out a solution
You have a Note 5 and have an Exchange account and you can still use Smart Lock? The key here is having an Exchange account that enforces security on the device and forces you to have a PIN or password.
I thought this wasn't a bug but rather a fix in that it was never supposed to allow you to bypass Exchange security. Are you saying you're able to use Smart Lock and an Exchange email account together?
Little help please, have just purchased a M9 second hand and have had some issues trying to log into my google account.
The phone has been hard reset and starts up as normal, once I connect to the wifi and get past that when it asks me to enter my gmail and password it always sends me back to the wifi step, not allowing me to get into the home screen or even to skip the google account registration. Even worse is that I received an email from google saying it registered my log in. Any help?
You have become a victim of google frp (factory reset protection).
Hit youtube. There is a recent post that shows you how to get around it. I think its by rootjunky?..
The problem is not you. It's google's silly, flawed system.

Thanks to the both of you, got the issue resolved thanks. An odd thing that's been implemented.

It's a new security feature designed to prevent someone from stealing a phone and resetting it to use it. Even if you reset it, you have to authorize it at least once to prove it's yours.
Hi, I am hoping someone on here can help me.
I am an IT Tech working on a project for a client and had ran into an issue with the Xperia XA Ultra
I wrote a process for rolling out some ofthese devices to users and, after setting up some apps, the deployment staff were supposed to remove the google account. Well, guess what, they missed one, and the user changed the shared google account password, then promptly forgot it, and forgot their PIN code.
So, service desk then go and do a factory reset and lo and behold, when trying to set the device up again, the "Recent Password change" issue has been triggered.
We recovered the google account password but no matter what (even leaving the device off for 5 days) we get the password changed error.
I have spent ages googling this - to no avail.
Has anyone else encountered this and managed to resolve it?
Thanks in advance of any suggestions.
Hi,
Google App has suddenly stopped opening in the non-rooted 5t. Please check the attached video. What should I do?
Thanks
Bump..........
Same issue. Checked a lot of forums.. no fix yet, just temporary work arounds. Uninstall or clearing data. But only Works for a day.
I have the same thing......
And it's working again as of this morning!
I'm having this issue and it's driving me mad, the device has FamilyLink on it so I cannot turn off device administrator because all of the Google Account dialogs are broken, can't clear data, what a mess. I'm currently 80% sure I'll need to factory reset (if I even can!)
I was thinking I could maybe get into recovery but it wants a password that I apparently don't know. I tried my google password, my PIN, switching my PIN to a password, and nothing could get me in :s
(Edit 4/13: Got into recovery by removing the screen lock entirely, wiped the phone.)
Google App not opening & news feed not showing in Bing
Hi,
So, the Google app is not working in apparently all 5t phones-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/google-app-t4060959/post82241813#post82241813
Tested in my friend's phone also
Since the past few days news feed in Bing app has also vanished. But it works in every other phone besides op. Why is this issue happening only in oneplus phones? I have sent the devs logs 2 times but no action has been taken. Never ever a op phone again.
Thanks

Can you please confirm if Bing is showing news feed in your phone or not?

Good morning. Does anyone have any idea how I can solve the problem I have with the google dialer? When I am called, it takes a long time for the screen to turn on while the sound is ringing and it is generally slow to show who is calling .... I have tried to clear the application cache .... I have checked that irrelevant applications do not have access to the phone application but nothing .... Is there a solution? Thanks
I have the same issue, it actually started with my Pixel 4 XL. Back then I thought maybe it's just getting old. Now I'm having the exact same issue with my P6P. Tried a factory reset thinking it might have been something that migrated with my backup but that did not help.
I'm chiming in only to say I haven't seen this problem, and hope you figure it out. Not rooted? No custom kernel?
Not rooted and no custom kernel, been considering those as a solution
I never tried the google dialer. Didn't trust the phone enough to put a sim in it until I had self-built google-free aosp (now grapheme) installed. I have not experienced this with aosp dialer.

Did you ever solve this? Not even a factory reset seems to solve it for me

Which update is your phone on? November or December? If November, maybe try manually flashing the December update, potentially removing the "-w " so that it doesn't wipe your phone.

I'm on the December update, but had it even on the November build
When I open the Google dialer and click on the button to pop up the numbers it's very slow to open up

When you factory reset, did you test the Google dialer without restoring any of your old apps or data?
If the January update doesn't fix it for you when it comes out, I'd consider trying that.
Tried before restoring the apps, but I did restore my contacts and SMS. Same result. Could it be something related to my contacts (around 1400 contacts)?

I doubt it, although I "only" have 635 contacts. Right now I'd say everything is suspect, however. You've got to eliminate every possibility.
I might suspect the number/size of SMS before the number of contacts, but it's worth eliminating both at the same time just to see. Or, as I said, wait until the late January update, but if you still have the problem then you'd have to start from scratch yet again to eliminate those possibilities.

Thanks, will give it a shot after the January update drops
My best guess is that this delay happens when you have got paired an android wear with your phone. Just for testing, I paired amazfit gtr 3 pro with my P6P and this delay does not occur.
But at the same time, If you are running aosp rom, this delay doesn't happen with the dialer even with android wear paired. Strange

Interesting thought, I don't have an Android wear watch paired but I have a fitbit Versa. I haven't had this issue since the January update plus a full wipe.
I had a seperate theory which is related to the number of Google accounts I have on my phone (I had 4 before wiping). I'll keep an eye on it and try to unpair the watch if it re-occurs.

Well well well, I acted as per your theory and deleted all my google account except one that is linked to contacts and I am experiencing quite instant call-in and call-out screen and the contacts also show almost instantly.
Its a shame that android is google's own product and these issues (having more than google account) jeopardize the whole experience. I have read a lot of posts on reddit and other forums for the the same issue and all what google guys suggest is factory reset which is not a pleasant way and the problem persists after that.
Maybe I am too quick to give my feedback and this issue resurfaces even with 1 account. Will keep an eye on that and will post my further findings.

I think it's confirmed. I've added two more accounts and the call screen is now back to taking forever to showup when I get a call

Yeah I reconfirm it as well, no delay in call screens if having 1 Gmail account only.
Culprit is Google phone app I guess, may be it goes through all accounts to search n display the contact that cause this delay. I have tried Google phone app on samsung s21 ultra too n there is same delay with having more than 1 accounts while Samsung own dialer app doesn't suffer this issue.
