As per the title: a couple of weeks ago, I installed LineageOS 14,1 on my HTC One M8 [previously had rooted Marshmallow GPE installed]
Since then, I've been completely unable to login to Dropbox. I just get this really uninformative dialogue each time:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and an equally uninformative message in CatLog:
Code:
03-02 15:31:58.151 E/com.dropbox.android.user.AccountStore(28183): Failed to add account
Annoyingly, even though the error persists, whenever I try to login, I receive an email from Dropbox saying "We noticed a new sign in..." and, when I visit Dropbox in a browser, my phone is listed as being a linked device. I can also access Dropbox without a problem via browser on my phone. It's only the app that keeps throwing up this error.
I've tried all the usual tricks like uninstalling & reinstalling the Dropbox app as well as clearing Cache & Data. Also asked Titanium Backup Pro to remove all traces of Dropbox. But nothing has worked. I still get the same error and Dropbox support have been about as much use as a chocolate teapot –unable to do more than suggest I try re-installing the app.
Now, I'm 99% certain that the problem is with Dropbox but, seeing as it only began after I installed LineageOS, I've got to ask whether anyone else has run into similar problems and, if so, how did you resolve it?
Can't help you, it works perfectly for me...
It's unbelievable. I have nuked every single scrap of data relating to Dropbox from my phone; uninstalled app, deleted cache, deleted data, asked Titanium backup to remove all traces of it. Done a root access search for any files/folders on the whole of my device with 'dropbox' in the name and deleted them too. And yet, when I re-install it again and try to login, the exact same thing happens. I've never known an app to so stubbornly refuse to let its slate be wiped clean.
And, as I said in my 1st post, I'm pretty certain the culprit is Dropbox itself. But I just wanted to check in case there was some weird LineageOS voodoo involved too.

So i'm runnbing the march 28th cm11 nightly, and a few days ago, I noticed two of my most used applications (also, the only applications I've bought on google play) strangely disappeared from my home screen; I went to the app drawer to put them back, and they were not there either. So I open google play to reinstall them--only it says they ARE installed. Trying to open them from google play results in an instant FC. So from google play, I uninstalled and reinstalled--same results. Going into settings --> Apps, both applications show up, but in place of their regular icons are generic android icons suggesting the apps are on my SD card...

however, I've never tried to install or move apps to my SD card, I certainly haven't done ANYthing to those two apps...what's going on here?! Any insight? I've already factory reset and reinstalled and the problem persists...I'd REALLY like to avoid having to do a wipe that includes /data/media....

I had the exact same problem and had to go back to the 0326 build. I asked the very same question on the CM thread and somebody suggested that a clean flash should take care of the problem (though, to be honest, I've yet to try).

--EDIT--
Just tried flashing the 0331 update clean and downloaded one of my paid apps. I'm still having the same problem. Going back to 0326.
Okay, so searched and didn't seem to find any matches to this issue.
Here's the sitch:
I backed up no problem to dropbox. I then reset the phone and tried to restore, only it won't.
What happens is I choose to restore, then it gives me the choice of backups, I choose the one on dropbox (the other choice is one on my drive account from a year ago) and then it asks me to grant it permission on dropbox (which I do) but then it sends me back to choose which backup, if I try again it signs me out of dropbox. It just refuses to work.
Technical service was no help at all (they thought the backup files on dropbox consisted of photos and text files for the messages and I just had to save them to internal storage and it'd be fixed).
If anyone can help it'd be great. I'd upload the files directly to google drive and see if that'd work if there were anyway to access it directly. Any ideas of how to fix/circumvent this would rock.
Thanks in advance and hope to get some responses. Oh, if anyone else has experienced this it would be good to know.
Cheers.

I use HTC backup and it saves to the Google account and I have never had a problem. I think HTC cut ties with Dropbox after the M7 and have used Google Drive since.

LG G4 Verizon Wireless VS986
Stock everything, unrooted, and up-to-date as of post
Android Version: 6.0
Security Patch Level: 2016-03-01
Kernel: 3.10.84-g4790274
Build: MRA58K
Software version: VS98625A
Device encryption enabled, but not on the SD card.
All apps are installed on the device. The SD card only contains music, podcasts, and pictures.
Issue: Starting this week some times when I reboot there are missing apps when the phone powers back up. I havent noticed this after every reboot, but maybe i...just havent noticed.
A few days ago I rebooted my phone to see it "Optimizing apps" after entering my encryption password as if I had cleared dalvik cache or performed an OS or kernel upgrade or something. After completion the phone started up as normal but probably a dozen apps were missing. Most notably Hangouts, my calendar app, and Google Now... I rebooted again 2 nights ago and Pocket Casts, my budgeting app, and Light Flow, amongst others, were missing. I rebooted again this morning and my fking launcher was missing (Nova). WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MY PHONE?
Even stranger is when I reinstall an app I barely need to change any settings; the data must still be on the phone because almost all my settings and profiles are immediately present. When i re-installed my budgeting up I was still signed in and synced (cloud subscription service). When i reinstalled Nova my desktops were exactly how they were minutes earlier before the reboot. After re-installing Hangouts I was still signed into the appropriate google accounts and not signed into the one I don't use for Hangouts. When I re-installed Google Now I wasn't even presented with the setup wizard and tutorial and all the cards I'd expect were there and accurate.
Since the VZW G4 is not easily rooted or bootloader unlocked not only have I been stuck with whatever Verizon and LG deemed worthy of me using (read: NOT using) in addition to already being on my second phone due to the boot loop hardware issue., but now i've got this to deal with? This phone was supposed to be awesome, but if not for the removable battery and sd slot I'd have moved on months ago.
I'm gonna FDR this evening or tomorrow evening if I can't find a real solution. Has anyone seen anything like this before???
bump
Personally I hadn't heard that before, but a quick (Google) search indicates it's happening with various phones. My first thought was check for virus..
Performed a FDR this week and the issue has been resolved. Super weird.
Hey everyone. Since I am new to Lineage OS (18.1), I have been reading many of the threads here hoping to learn from others, mistakes and knowledge. But recently I have had an issue with file management. Originally I was going to post a thread asking how I can delete or at least disable the native Files app, but after reading a few threads on a similar subject, I realize I would be heading into issues if I did successfully delete it. So, instead I will explain the issue(s) I am facing and then see what any of you educated peers (and in the past, lifesavers) have to offer for advice. I love this OS so I don't want to have to go back, but if I can't resolve this issue, I have no choice.
Okay, so the native files app cannot see the /emulated/Android/data or /emulated/Android/obb folders at all. Every other file management app I have installed (too many actually) can see those folders which would be fine but there are a few apps asking me to approve access to those folders or subfolders therein, and it ALWAYS opens the native Files app to accomplish that. So there are a few apps I cannot use at all till I can figure that part out.

Also, I am a heavy user of the Autosync app and every new device I install it in, on first run, in the settings, I need to Enable Write Access. Pressing that again, ALWAYS opens the native files app. Although the native Files app can see the SD card/External Storage, the Use this Folder button is greyed out and when I attempt to press it anyways it states, "Can't use this folder - To protect your privacy, Choose another folder".
I am sure there is an easy way around all this but it is becoming annoying, to be as nice as possible. I hope I am just overlooking something cause I would rather feel like a n00b dumbass instead of having to lose this new (to me) and wonderful OS, or even worse, lose access to several frequently used apps. Thanks for reading and more thanks if you are able to help!
Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
