I was searching, found that disabling function mdm.receivers.MdmDeviceAdminReceiver does the work but admin comes back after reboot or sometimes after freezing/defreezeing Google apps.
It was told in other threads that other apps, probably Google's, trigger admin to wake up again.
Does anyone has complete list what to disable to get rid of admin completely?
I am VERY, literally VERY, pissed off that someone except me can have management over my phone.
Who knows what is going on in background while on screen you read that you exactly won million dollars in lottery?
If I didn't need gmail - I'd disable Google services at all.

Ok,
(Before those that have nothing to do start shouting, I have searched! I spend hours last night looking and time this morning looking. This error is NOT related to a googlemail/gmail switch..it is NOT related to internet connection..it is NOT related to some obscure cache issue [i think]. So now that caveate is out of the way....)
I cannot download anything from the Market. Here is the process as I see it...
- Open Market app from phone
- Find app I want and click download
- Go back to main Market screen and click download tab
- App sits there with a 'starting download process'
Now...if the error is somewhere there...can someone please tell me.
But...a few minutes later I get this...
- Alert noise goes off
- Alert says Google Talk authentication failed
- Go and stop the app in the running apps screen
- Find GTalk app on phone and start it up
- It hangs up on the Talk bubble screen with Signing in swirly thing just going round
- Eventually that alert noise goes off again
So...there seems to have been an issue many months back when UK customers switched from googlemail domains to gmail domains. But I have never had either. I am registered with google and I have one of my personal emails set up on that account. I can log into google, I can use Picasa, I can use the forums, etc.
Now, I already have three different email accounts to keep track of...do not need a fourth. But in a fit of desperation I tried to set up a gmail account last night. After 30 minutes of trying to find a user name I gave up. I do not want to be D.sablesurfer.432456 or whatever stupid azz suggestion it gives.
So...things I am wondering...
Is Google Talk integrated with Market somehow?
Can you just use Market with a regular Google log in?
How do I make google talk work since there appears to be no where on phone to change any settings?
Where is google talk looking on my phone for log in information?
Does this have anything to do with the weird sprint email address that seems to be registered to my phone? (Current username = [email protected]) (Obviously where my name would be my real name.)
Please help, the internet has been wholey useless in showing me an answer to this issue.
Oh...and if I log into google web page from phone...and choose Talk from the more menu...
....I am logged into Talk!!!
Yep, it just pulls right up with no complaints.
Ok, lots of looks no feedback.
I stopped by Sprint today and they say basically that my really old Google log in will not work. They said will need to set up an actual GMail account and replace it on the phone.
HOWEVER....there is NO way to replace it without the factory reset. Seriously? Has the Evo or HTC...or Sprint locked this thing down so much that you can never change accounts?
I changed password online...and the incorrect password screen ONLY lets me change password. The account name is greyed out.
I went into Manage Applications and the only button active is the Force Stop. The Clear Data button doesn't even exist. And after the force stop it still does not exist.
How does this make any sense? Really? People are NEVER going to change accounts? Sounds way too strict to me at moment.
So basically...unless anyone else has an idea...on the Evo (not heros or g1's)...I will have to do the factory reset tonight? This sucks.
Have you tried settings, accounts and sync, click on the google account and hit remove account?
Yup, no go. The default in the Evo seems to be permanently locked in. Well until you do the factory reset. I just posted my findings/tip over on general. This is a pisser for a newbie to android and as a LONG time programmer sucks to be locked in like that.
My market was useless earlier.
the name###@sprintpcs.com is just sprints username for you, it's used for network stuff
I'm having the same issue. tired the google search too ... wish I didn't have to do a hard reset... I hope somebody come up with a fix for this
EDIT:
Here's all that I did. I'm not sure which part fixed the issue.
*I un-synced Gmail (still didn't work)
*I deleted the pop Gmail account I had set up (still didn't work)
*I went into the market, canceled everything that was pending a download, then I re-synced Gmail, and set my pop Gmail account back up and BAM!!!! It worked. (Oh and I restarted after I did all of this)
Hope this helps...
Same problem here, hope someone with great idea can help. I am also struck on my HTC evo
Market still won't downlaod
I'm on JI6,
i have this problem that i cannot get the Market to download.
I didn't see and end to this story, only that it could be a Market problem.
But still i have this issue now for 3 days, i did most of the things in this thread.
nothing works ...
HELP
This happens to everyone.
Go to applications.
Click all applications.
Find market. Click market.
Click, clear cache, and clear data.
Restart.
I'm over that, clear the data of download manager ,and from the Market application, removed the update from the market , wifi on , wifi off .....
Still wont download
Then it's your internet if that does not work.
Check your firewall
what firewall , if i work in 3G ?
I'm having the same problem...I just flashed Myn's 2.2 RL3 and it is no different than it ever was. It's pissing me off. I've tried every solution that I could find.
I was having a similar issue with my Evo running OMJ's 4.5.
On the market.android.com site I would click install, select my phone, and it said my install would start shortly, but it never did. I scoured the net and found a fix that worked for me. Try this:
Menu -> Settings -> Appplicaltions -> Manage Applications
Select the 'All' tab
Scroll down and open 'Google Services Framework' -> Clear Data and Force Stop
Hit back and open 'Market' -> Clear Data, Clear Cache (if available), and Force Stop
Reboot
Open Market. You are going to get an error, be patient and let it sit for a moment and it will come up by itself.
You should be golden after this. Let me know how it works for you.
Why must people resurrect dead threads, do they lack the ability to read, the last post to this thread was in the first week of november, if this was still happening, this would be an active thread.
Hi Guys,
Let me start by saying this is my first Android phone, and I'm loving it. I do have some questions I can't seem to find solutions for.
Some apps don't seem to offer you the option to select/unselect run on startup. I'll check under settings>apps>running and won't see them listed, yet if I say shake the phone(way to activate app) it starts up. So is the app running or not? I'm basically looking for the windows msconfig version on the GN. A way to know for certain that apps aren't running if you don't start them up yourself.
Secondly, on my previous old nokia, when I opened an app (or anything wanting to go out) it would prompt me for permission to access the net. I would like to be able to control via user intervention access to the net. Like the old zonealarm for pc's.
And lastly, it would seem they have overlooked some of the fundamentals of mobile/cell phones. I loved the options to set ascending and descending or beep once ring tones, to stop push services at night so you're not receiving updates at 3am, to stop all none essential services by default if your battery hits x%, and many more basic yet what I would say essential services for a phone. I know that some apps cover some of these things. I've found an app to turn of volume after X time, but really... this should be core services built into ICS imho.
Cheers in advance,
Droid wall lets you decide what apps get internet access if you are rooted.
Autostarts will let you see what conditions an app starts under and disable the app from starting if that condition is met (if you so choose).
I'm having a really bizarre problem where, even when Developer Options are toggled to On, the Stay Awake option is disabled.
Yesterday, I re-flashed the JB 4.1 rom (Team Vicious v1), and this fixed it, but this morning it became permanently disabled again.
My question is: where in the file system can I find where this flag is toggled? I'm thinking I can go and edit something like a build.props file to enable it manually. Anyone know what file controls Developer Option settings?
EDIT: Found a solution by installing the "Stay Awake" widget from the Play store. Even though the option is still disabled under Settings, I can see that it is checked now when I enable it through the widget.
EIDT2: Even though the widget checked the option, it does not work.
EDIT3: I've finally figured out the root cause of the problem - this is a new "security feature" with exchange accounts in JB. As soon as you accept the security protocol when creating an exchange account, Stay Awake becomes permanently disabled. I've heard mixed feedback on the email apk hack successfully working. So far there does not appear to be a workaround.

mordrukk,
First of all thank you a million for editing your OP and updating as you learned more, huge help! I'm definitely interested if you find more about this. I recently switched from using Touchdown on my device to corporate email and had my "stay awake" option disabled. It's extremely frustrating to be driving listening to music or whatnot and have the screen shut off on me.
I'm having a hard time finding info on the supposed email.apk hack to fix this. Any chance you can share what you know?
EDIT: Dug up the thread myself. I'm having mixed results. It does sync my account without requiring additional lockdown (past installing a client cert and requiring a pattern lock). I can confirm allow wake works now! However, since applying the patch I've had Exchange Services (Exchange2.apk) crash on me several times. This happened most frequently after first syncing the account. I'll re-update after a day or so of use.
The patch was a piece of cake to install (on a Mac). Just requires a bit of adb use.

I got the same problem after installing notes traveller ! One workaround it to install 'screen on ' from pinapps and set it to stay on when charging. It works.

I used this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749921 . Works.
I just read about a find my mobile exploit, and went into settings to turn it off for now.
I look into the Samsung account, scroll down, and see "ads"!
It looks like by default, we are allowing Samsung to spam us with ads so I turned it the hell off!
I still haven't found where to turn find my mobile off yet, but I never installed the app, so we might be safe.
Thoughts?
If you click on it, it asks you to consent to receiving "customized services" (a crap-ton of ads). (I have it unchecked.)
But, I have it installed and tried it out on my computer. I haven't noticed any additional ads on my phone. Just my 2cents.
This is recurring in all phones I've had for at least a year now. Once again...And it is just now that I am once again getting upset at Google Play Services making itself a device admin daily on startup so it can update its app daily. So it can weasel into the browser and log my account and store cookies and track and etc etc etc.
If I do not lose my phone, then it should stop activating the find my device. If I lock my screen, then it should stop activating itself as an administrator. If it was just to find the device, then it should stop putting itself as an account in my browser.
The Google Play Services can no longer be reverted. It has turned the phone into just another chunk of Google Garbage.

site storage in browser. I believe it is s carrier config or carrier settings. I have ridden myself of it by disabling carrier configs on other phones but here I can't disable carrier system apps.
I play with it off on some phones, and of course on rooted phones. It is irremovable here now. I had it removed during the first few days on my new A70 but now can't get it off noway no how.
The carrier configs and other things from carrier are a real problem. Carriers (used to) push settings they deem appropriate at regular intervals on an old phone I had. Their settings push included things like turning on location, and worse. all kinds of settings would get changed. Google calls these in its "partner" app. It's all tied together. There are credit agencies certs, and security companies in the system app.

I may sell the phone if I can't use it on internet without continued police insults on my humanity. I'm sick of it all. Been taking abuse for years. Only useful as a gaming and music player.
In my experience, once you have confirmed to your own recognition that they are behind the curtain of the device, talking to you invisibly thru the back door in the comments sections of the internet, then the phone is no good.
I believe that screenshots of their android back-doored comments, -- along with proof in pictures or recordings that they have been speaking in narrative to you that way -- should be grounds for money back from the phone company for the device. The device is faulty then beyond the shadow of a doubt and worthless and irreparable. Money back should be the rule for hacked devices.
comments, recommendations...or other festures being hacked. I have had apps hacked, I have had voice recognition dictation hacked. etc. I don't remember a list of features of android I've stopped using because of insult hacks. The predictive words on the keypads, and auto correct, used to be a favorite exploit they'd use to deliver cracked commentaries against my humanity...
All features and apps I no longer use. And how many people would never pick up on how these devices are being used against them.
I think the phones should be peogrammed to avoid cached dns results, and to randomize the dns it uses. The apps such as YouTube should never return to an open session or use a cache. These devices are fast enough and simple LTE/4G is fast enough to load fresh sessions from sites from new lookup services.
if Google needs to have Find My Device in Android to serve customers who are afraid their devices will be stolen by non professional phone thieves or lost, then they should sell different versions for those who don't want a system admin like Google which gets its money from data theft and spamming.
The persistent settings in the browser for its default site bothers me. I got rid of it on my Oreo running phone. Took awhile, but I finally got rid of it on one phone by deleting all browser data. It comes back when the browser restarts on internet tho, and persists again like a foul barnacle. Used to be able to get rid of it.
Here it's seen it camoflages itself if I change the default search page, but it still persists
