Permissions get reset constantly for apps - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Permissions get reset constantly for apps, I think I read it somewhere that anytime the Launcher updates that all the app permissions for apps on my phone reset. Is there anyway to fix this?
I am sick and tired of allowing things to get permissions on my phone over and over again. I never had this issue on my Nexus 6.

did you mean to say launcher as in prism?
what rom are you on...

Stock HTC US ROM, and stock launcher.
The permissions reset all the time, and I have one friend that is on sprint on their ROM (I use the US unlocked ROM) and he has the same issue. where he will set the permissions to allow, and then out of nowhere the permissions reset on him.
Really irritates me with the google opinion rewards app, because I dont get any surveys since the app keeps losing the location permission.

i am sorry... not on stock to say so... you aren't rooted are you?
did you try giving permissions manually by going to settings- app ?

yep, I went to the application manager and even set them there and after a day or few hours or a reset of the phone it will lose them.
Yes I am rooted.

thats odd... doesn't happen with me i have to set permissions if required only at the first time i run a app not always...
is it every app you get this permission or certain apps? also when it requests for permission are you ticking the box which states don't ask again?

any app that asks for permission the first time you open it is doing it, and it seems like it is almost random when it will ask for permission again. Like I right now I just opened my camera app and it asked for location permission again.
I dont see a box that says dont ask again if I tell it "allow"

Nope, just an allow and deny option, nothing else.
That must be specific to your ROM or something.

don't think so its specific to rom... as i had used multiple roms and every rom gives me a permission option with that option as shared in ss

I have the same issue and it's really irritating. I'm on the stock unlocked version.
I didn't think it was the launcher update that causes it. I suspected it was the fact that I use adopted storage and when I reboot my phone, I noticed that occasionally some app icons appear unavailable with the "X" icon. When that happens, I feel like that's when all the permissions get reset (and lost)

tried alternative launcher to see? as i am not stock my result won't help much as there are few more users who is reporting this permission being reset on reboot....

Joining the boat here. My app permissions also get reset every now and then. It only happens after a reset of the phone. I always turn the phone off at night, next morning all permissions are gone. It doesn't happen every morning, just sometimes.
I'm on a completely stock phone, never tinkered with root and s-off etc. It happened on both the first software version it came with, and the current latest software from HTC.
I have also set my external SD-card to be seen as internal storage. Is that the culprit?

I have had the loss of permissions problem after restart for a while. It has persisted across multiple hard resets, and even multiple devices! I am working on a theory. For anyone here who has had this issue, did you encrypt your device? I'm trying to find a common thread, as clearly every device hasn't had this issue, but many have. Any input is appreciated.
Now I also can't even change the permissions back, as it claims I have a screen overlay. Not only do I not, but disabling screen overlay for all apps still results in that error.

PS: I'm on an M9. I hesitate to upgrade to the 10 if this is an HTC-wide issue. It has been a nightmare for me.

Why not use appopsxposed? Works great for me and never resets ?

I surely have my device encrypted.
What's appopsxposed?

What carrier version? Or are you unlocked?
If it's not encryption, I'm puzzled what other specifics could be causing this. Is anyone else using any other settings that could be somewhat atypical? How about launchers? Is everyone using a third-party launcher perhaps?

I'm on the stock non-carrier-locked software. Not rooted. Not s-off, nothing. HTC sense launcher.

Did you ever wipe the partition cache?

No. I did do a double factory reset 1 week ago, cause my device had become very slow.

[Q] Stock ICS Rooted but no Hotspot?

Applied TMO UVLE OTA update on stock 2.3.6 ROM a couple days ago then applied tonights ICS update via Kies no problems.
Rooted (and verified via superuser/ROM Manager) but not getting any Hotspot love. Wireless hotpost goes active then get the 'no data' nag and anything that connects to the hotspot goes straight to TMO website.
Suxors!
Any tips on a work-around?
Idk about ics but just a couple of minutes ago I was using my hotspot and all of a sudden tmobile messages me saying they blocked my hotspot because I didn't have it in my plan... Uuuhh I've never gotten that before and I use my hotspot all the time.... Interesting. Lol

using the stock browser on my asus tf300 tablet. TMO did something to the ROM. Just tried PDANet and FiFox and got nailed by TMO both times. TMO message pop-up 'no data'.
Hoping the new custom roms based on TMO will take care of this. Going to try Mr. X's as soon as he fixes it.
Updated to ICS 4.0.3 and no Wifi Tether Apps working
I am having the same issue, I have verified SuperUser and updated SU binary but Barnacle and Wifi Tether both do not work for some reason.
I am sure it is rooted (or at least it appears to be). I used the method used previously at GalaxyS2root.com and they state is still is working. I even downloaded the zip file again, just in case any of the files changed (it does not appear to have changed any files)
Any suggestions on how to get these working? Wifi tethering is important to me and I would rather go back to previous version of Android rather than lose wifi tethering ability.
Oh yeah, I also did not UNROOT the phone when I applied the update, could that have been an issue?
thanks for any help you can offer!

i got tethering to working by deleting "tethering provision" in titanium backup after i rooted my phone. tested and working on my galaxy tab 2
How did you do that?

I have tried to remove with Titanium backup but it will not remove the app. How did you accomplish is with Titanium backup.
This is what I tried:
1) Pressed Backup/Restore
2) scrolled down to "TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM
3) long press on that item until special features screen appears
4) selected "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)
5) it then asks me to select yes to uninstalled and states the phone will reboot twice
6) then it reboots the first time and then it freezes at the triangle with and ! in the center
Am I doing it wrong?? Do I have to have the pro version of the app??
Could anyone provide more info about it? I lost it after I upgraded to ICS. I do not have hotspot plan but I was able to tether it. Please help.

I'm not sure what you are asking for, but I believe you want to know what the issue is with wifi tethering not functioning after you upgrade to ICS for T-mobile USA?
If so, it appears that T-Mobile has made some changes to the ROM that prevent you from using any wifi tethering program (as far as we can tell so far), even when the phone is rooted...without paying for it through their service.
Now, someone states that they are able to get it (wifi tether, Barnacle, etc...) after deleting a file installed by T-mobile (Tethering Provision - see above comments). I was unable to uninstall so could not get it working as someone else stated they did.

I'm not sure why, I am using the free version of TB also, but my tethering Pervision was in red color text and stated that it had not been backed up. There were several apps (I believe all the T-mobile crapware) was in read.
Do you know what that means?
Just back it up and uninstall that's what I did.

Different Wifi Issues with ICS
Hi All,
I am having a slightly different issue. I'm rooted and have frozen the 'TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM'.
When I was broadcasting, my computer wouldn't connect to the network. My workaround was to delete the connection in Windows Network Manager and reconnect.
My tethering icon is different than the above screenshots, I have a T-Mobile branded icon.
Now that I'm able to connect, I'm getting a message in my webbrowser to sign up for a tethering plan. I've tried a User-Agent switcher, but that didn't work... anyone have any suggestions?

Kernel not Working (Glitching)

Hey guys. So I was on Bugless Beast originally but the franco.Kernel application was bugging out everything I tried switching between the panels. It would lag and freeze, then it would switch to the next panel, but when I try to change a value, it won't change. I've tried color changes, and it is clear that they weren't doing anything. So I decided to try Eclipse Rom. That one is having the same problems, even with the built-in kernel settings. Decided to flash Trinity Kernel. Same problem. This time though, I also noticed that I'm unable to change my I/O scheduler in the Rom's Kernel settings, as well as in the actual Trinity Toolbox App. And once again, it doesn't allow me to change my colors. Any help? I think it might be a problem with the actual phone.

You don't seem to understand. Despite doing that the colors will not change, even after a reboot. And when I try changing the I/O scheduler, SIO is an option but when I select it, it doesn't stick. This seems to be my main issue, across the board, over multiple kernels, and multiple settings.

if youre using superuser, you need supersu, superuser doesnt work so well with jelly bean. heres a flashable supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip flash it, boot up and open the supersu app. if it says to update the su binaries, do it. also youll need to update your busybox. get the busybox updater free from the play store, get the one by stericson. open the app then and update your busybox. also, very important, after you boot up your setting wont be restored until the phone is finished booting(typically from 2-4 minute), dont check if your settings are restored until its finished booting!

Working Tap and Pay In Google Wallet

Ok so I can now confirm that Tap and Pay in google Wallet can work.
Just used it and am Drinking Redbull Purchased from 7-Eleven 10 mins ago.
I used the attached modified APK ( done by Loserskater) from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45710314&postcount=3276
Quick step by step
I am using EclipticOne Rom
1 Go to Manage apps and delete all data for installed wallet app
2 Used Titanium to uninstall app since it is a system app.
3 Reboot to recovery and wipe Dalvik Cache (and as safety measure I also wiped Cache not sure it's ness)
4 Used ES file explorer (root explorer will do the job as well) And Moved modded apk to system/app and changed permissions to rw- r-- r--
5 reboot phone
6 open wallet let it do its thing And when finished top box on screen said setup Tap and Pay so i did so. ( should mention I already have wallet acct and used on S3 previously so did not need to add or pick a card)
7 app said setting up tap and pay this will take several minutes. Closed app set phone down did other things for about 10mins. Came back opened app said tap and pay is setup !!!!
8 went to settings>about and saw Device is ready for tap and pay purchases under the Tap And Pay heading.
9 closed app and updated via play store since current version is 14 not 9 like modded apk
10 reboot Profit !!! Ran to store got redbull for busy night ahead
Again this MOD is not mine it was done by Loserskater
I should mention I have a the NFC sim from Verizon. Not sure if it is required would need input from those without it. I suspect it is as it supposedly has a secure element of its own.
P.S. Do not Log out of Wallet after update it will likely stop working if you do
Wow its actually says it works... Will update when I actually try it out. Thanks man. Oh and I'm also using EclipticONE.

On first use of ES you need to go to tools root explorer and set it to mount system as rw (read and write ) not RO (read only )
then should be able to do it with no problem
But ES is not required Root explorer does same thing i just prefer ES
Confirmed to work on stock rom. Just used it at 7-eleven.

Looks like it's not the app but Google has finally updated the app itself. Just downloaded from the market and everything is working when tap and pay.
I'm having a problem now. I installed it on Vanir, worked perfectly.. Installed a nightly build which had force close problems so I reinstalled my ROM, which in turn uninstalled wallet, tried the exact same method as before, yet tap to pay is gone. Any ideas?

This is not true for verizon users, unless you change your prop.build manually prior to downloading from market. Essentially telling the app its a different phone

I'm having a problem now. I installed it on Vanir, worked perfectly.. Installed a nightly build which had force close problems so I reinstalled my ROM, which in turn uninstalled wallet, tried the exact same method as before, yet tap to pay is gone. Any ideas?

You will probably need to go to wallet on your pc and deactivate your device. Then retry making sure to wipe data from the app prior to uninstalling it. Do a full reboot then continue
I have been able to install the modfied app by flashing it right after flashing a rom (before reboot)

For those of you having trouble copying the app. Either open a terminal emulator or connect to your computer (preferred) and run adb shell.
Enter following command to mount system read/write and allow copy:
"mount -o remount,rw /system"
Copy the file either via shell or es file explorer.
Reboot or type: "mount -o remount,ro /system" to make sure system is read only again.
After reboot, run wallet and follow OP instructions.
I've got my phone set up and tap and pay activated. Works like a charm. I DO NOT have a NFC sim. I have my original SIM from my Thunderbolt cut down.

Was having issues with it working properly. It would copy for me, and install the app w Reboot, but 'Tap and Pay' wasn't working (even though devices showed it as a GNex).
In order to get rid of everything (I had previously tried to install it) I had to:
Install the app from the play store
THEN clear the cache/data
THEN uninstall it (I did NOT use Ti for this, I deleted it from system/apps and data/apps using Root Explorer)
I also cleared the device from Google Wallet online (Disable > Remove)
I think the prior version I tried to install had some lingering data that was bad? Who knows. Didnt really want to deal with a factory reset though..
I did NOT use the APK from this thread, I used the one from here: Method 3 - AOSP. I dont think that matters.
Worked fine after that by copying the APK then reboot. (did not wipe dalvik/cache! Though Im not sure that really matters either.)
I havent tested it in a store yet, but I cant imagine Ill run into any issues.
Running:
S-Off, Root, Cyanogenmod 10.2
Stock HTC One SIM (So, not a "secure" VZW SIM if I understand correctly)
Hope this clears things up for anyone still having issues

Thanks!! This worked perfectly on VanirAOSP. Going to try to buy a drink at the vending machine and I will report back.
EDIT: Did not work on the vending machine. I have an NFC capable credit card and that worked fine so there is nothing wrong with the machine. Disappointing!

What's weird is that nothing happens when I tap to pay. The machine doesn't recognize any contact. On the previous Google Wallet mod a month or two ago, it would register the contact but the payment would fail.
What ROM are you using?

I installed many official and custom ROM but you say factory reset ?????
I'm sure this problem is not because of an application.because when I Factory reset or install a new ROM it is good for a while but after 10 minutes the problem is shown ...
When I Insert a Sim Card in the device the screen turn off and on quickly and the network of Sim Card will Unavailble and it goes to Emergency Call Mode ...
What's your Idea?

well i just want to make sure and the reason a screenshot of the background is because sometimes when you quit an app, it doesnt always shuts downs and runs on background and could be the cause of the problem. so can you please post a screenshot.
well i guess you figured it out

You mentioned you have flashed many ROMs both custom and original.
Do you use TitaniumBackup to restore? And if so, do you restore data as well?
I would recommend not restoring phone data and when you restore your apps, do a few at a time to see if it is an app causing this.
If you don't use TitaniumBackup, and allow Google to restore, do the same.
You say it starts to happen after several minutes after a fresh flash... I think there is an app that is causing this.
Good luck.

Push Notifications

Hey guys, now that we have the root, let's solve the problem problem of push notification. I' referring to receiving updates when the app is not open and running in the background.
Here is what I have:
Working no matter what:
Gmail
Facebook Messenger
Not getting push notifications if the app isn't open:
Facebook
Hagouts
Skype
Viber
WhatsApp
Fire Phone 4.6.1, rooted. It was the same when it wasn't rooted. It doesn't matter if you use launcher or not. I did hard reset and the issue is still there.
Now, my 4.4.4 custom rom tablet always receives notifications. I would think it's FirePhone issue, if it wasn't for Facebook Messenger, how the hell does it work?
I have 4.6.1 and have No Problem with Push Notifications. Rooted - Xposed - Greenify
+1 for this, can only get the push notifications with amazon launcher, that includes missed calls and texts

Thats Mine
Ok, can you confirm that when you completely CLOSE Hangouts and get a message, it will send you a push notification? When it's running in the background, yes I can receive it too.
What am I doing wrong though? I checked all the options. How did you even get this red sticker? Can you tell what launcher you're using?
Notifications for 3. party apps when they are closed are not working. It doesn't matter what launcher is used. Some apps like tapatalk are not pushing notifications at all. There is also urgent necessity to fix status bar so it can show persistent notifications. I have sent more than dozen emails to amazon tech support urging them to fix notifications in Fire OS (for **** sake, we don't know if phone is in silent mode), and I always received polite response that my input is highly valuable. But I don't expect for them to fix notifications at all because devs screwed notifications intentionally. This ****ed up situation is not a bug, they intentionally blocked 3. party apps.

I would agree if it wasnt for Gmail and Facebook Messenger. These bashtardos always get notifications no matter what and they are 3rd party apps. Meanwhile, Facebook itself doesnt have it. So there is a way 3rd party apps can get notifications, but HOW?
I don't have issues with push notifications either, you can try factory resetting the device, when I first installed 4.6.1(newest US build) some features were missing and they didn't return until I did a factory reset.
I have the same issue with Whatsapp and Facebook. Email and Facebook messenger are working fine.
Guys, when you say "I have no issues with push notifications" can you be more specific please?
Here's the question:
Close Skype (whatsApp) completely on your Fire phone, not just exit but close it. Now send a message from other device to your Skype (whatsApp) account. Do you get a notification on you Fire Phone? Just say yes or no.
Because me neither, I have no problems with push notifications IF THE APP IS OPEN, the moment you close it, it's gone...
Yes for WhatsApp, Facebook and Tapatalk. I dont use Skype
German Unlocked with latest US bin. Latest GApps. Hangouts, SuperSu, Xposed, Greenify, HDX Modules, Google Now Launcher with GEL Settings [root]
Ok, thanks! so we're divided into two groups. Now we need to figure out what's different. I have US bin, unlocked, 4.6.1.
No xposed and I didn't install latest Gapps. Will try.
Still no luck. Wondering what else can be done? I did hard reset already, it didn't help
How i did it :
3.6.6 - > wipe
Install 4.6.1 German -
Install 4.6.1 US - Wipe reboot
Start Device - kingroot - SuperSu
Again recovery and Wipe (Wipe dont touch /system.. So root is still there After Wipe.
Reboot and Use
If u really a Complete New System - sideload your bin into Recovery
Hey guys, i uninstalled Skype, Facebook and Whatsapp and installed them again. Now notifications are working fine regardless if the apps are totally closed or not.
Thanks

hydroman, when you say recovery and wipe what do you mean? Simple factory reset from the Settings-Device-Factory Reset?
I have the same issue. I spent 1 month with the amazon custumer service and at the end of the wheel they said:
I wanted to let you know that I've received a response from our technical team, and they unable to correct the issue you described with the notifications not displaying from your apps. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. Our technicians have suggested the following troubleshooting steps, they would like you to try another factory reset to see if this corrects the issue.
Because a factory reset will remove any content you've downloaded to your device, make sure to back up your personal content and settings using the backup feature on your phone. You'll be able to restore your content and settings and download any Amazon purchases from the Cloud after registering the device again.
Any in-app items may be lost during a factory reset. Please check with the app developer for more details on their in-app policies before completing a factory reset. If you have Parental Controls enabled on your phone prior to the factory reset, you will need to turn them back on once the device is re-registered.
To factory reset your Fire phone:
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Actions, and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Device, and then tap Factory reset your phone.
3. Tap Reset, and then tap OK to confirm

They need to fired the technical team.
