Second User can't download anything. - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have set up a second user on lineage 18.1 on a Poco phone F3.
The issue is the second user cannot download anything (it never offered permissions to download)
Any help appreciated,

Just in case anyone stumbles across the same issue I thought I better post my workaround for this. I never got to the bottom of the issue, but just downloaded an apk on a laptop and transferred the file through usb. duckduckgo browser allowed downloads so I assume it was an issue with the inbuilt browser app.

Help! Google play error 495 curse

Hey guys just fot this tablet Monday, unrooted fresh out the box, it will download apps for a bit them get hung up and stop downloading and eventually show this error. Ive googled it and tried all the tricks that include clearing data im gp app/gp services/ framework. Unlinked my google account, rebooted etc.
2 strange things i noticed.
- my htc m8 on the same nerwork has never had these issues
-I haven't had this happen at my work network
I returned my tab S from Monday, now the new one does it too. I have a brand new Asus RT-AC68U beast of a wifi router. It briefly downloaded some apps once i took down the firewall, then errored out again...
I dunno what else to do i want to keep this tablet I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!
perhaps this workaround can help you:
on your pc you can install the chrome browser extension APK Downloader , then when you go to play store, you have an extra button download apk next to the app (all on pc in chrome browser) , once you downloaded the apk you can copy it to the tablet and install it.
Make sure that once you have copied the apk to your device you have enabled "unknown sources" in the settings or else it won't allow you to manually install an apk.
Whenever I have encountered an issue like this in the past I have Odin flashed the device to the latest stock firmware and then during the set up process, made sure that every minute detail entered is correct (or bypass google account installation and wifi connection and install them after the device start up).
Hmm thanks for the suggestions guys. Come to find out my m8 has this issue now so it must be router related somehow...
I too took down firewall of router, saved new settings, rebooted router, turned router off for 5 mins, turned it back on. Restarted lg g3 and then it worked for me. No more Error 495!

Need Help Recovering Pictures

It's a Verizon Pixel XL 32gb running build NDE63X fully stock.
I've tried everything mentioned in normal and safe mode through multiple reboots, power downs, etc.
Phone won't connect to cell data but will connect to wifi. It states that cell data is turned off but if I turn it back on it immediately turns back off without ever connecting.
Windows 10 file manager as well as Thunar and Nautilus file managers for Ubuntu 16.04 all show the pixel as a network device but won't show anything there.
Fastboot will show ID from bootloader
ADB won't show anything anywhere.
When I click developer options it says "Developer options are not available for this user" (This seems damned suspicious and seems likely to be what's grieving me)
Home button ONLY does the animations and nothing else. The recent apps button doesn't do anything however the back button works.
I tried using google cloud to back up the photos but it never uploads anything anywhere, just sits there saying it's uploading X images (I've tried single pictures as well as sets of pictures, videos, and anything else I could think to try.
I'm pretty confident that a factory reset will resolve everything but I can't do this until I can get photos off. I've been googling, DDGing, and all around scraping xda, reddit, and anywhere else I can think of. Any help or suggestions would be great!

What you could do is download "ES File Explorer" from the play store and when opened, navigate to Network>remote management. It will give you an IP and a port. Pop this into an ftp client on your computer such as Filezilla Client. It will list your device and you can copy to a desired location on your computer
Can you email, bt file share, install Dropbox or OneDrive and turn photo back up on, plug in the otg adapter and a flash drive, adb pull files, share to google drive? Last resort display them on screen and take a pic with another camera.
Go into settings and see which user you are signed in with. Maybe that is the problem.

I'm not sure you read my post... adb isn't doing anything. It should, but doesn't. This is likely due to developer options being inaccessible as I mentioned in the OP. Uploading the files hasn't worked with Google Drive and should. I admit that I haven't tried with Dropbox or OneDrive due to not having accounts with either group but if other solutions don't work I can try making a dropbox. Wired transfer has been a bust, again, thoroughly mentioned in OP.

I'm signed in as Name being the correct name of the user. I've tried clicking on it to switch users to attempt to resolve the issue but to no avail. There should only be the one user on the device and they should have full permissions but this doesn't seem to be the case, though I can find no alternate user account.
Maybe dd the data partition from fastboot and mount it in Linux to copy the files
I had exactly the same issue. This seems to be an issue of a "dirty" flash. On Marshmallow this issue happened sometimes, and the cause was that Android expects the Setup Wizard to be running. There is a flag which forces the WIzard to start, but I couldn't get this fix running on 7.1.1.
I installed an FTP Server on my Pixel and fetch the data off there.
There was no other way that to completely wipe the device. This will be the last time I will ever buy a phone without a SD card slot. With my Samsung device I could easily flash forth and back, because all my data was on my SD card, not being affected by a full wipe / reflash.

Also I assume the home button does not work like properly, correct?

This worked, thank you for the suggestion! I was able to pull all the pictures then factory reset the phone. Good to go.

Freeze and Reboot problem

Hi,
I'm facing serious problem with freeze and reboot frequently :crying:
My Gemini PDA is Japanese keyboard layout and 4G+WiFi type.
I tried to do following action for checking what root cause is.
- I removed microSD card and SIM card
- I rebooted by manual and connect to WiFi network.
But nothing was changed.
I also tried a soft reset from "backup and reset" -> "data reset" in Android OS settings but nothing was improved.
Does anyone have similar or same problem like me?
One more thing:
Planet Computer support suggested me full factory reset.
But I could not find how to do it. I tried it by pressing both ESC(power) button and side button simultaneously
but there is no available command like full reset.
Any suggestion or information is welcome!
Best regards
Akira
additional info.
I tried to find when freeze problem happens as following.
1) Input method conflict
1st time, I installed Google Japanese language input and activate both Google's and Gemini keyboard input. This may make conflicts and freeze problem was happened.
I disabled Gemini keyboard input and leave Google's input as active.
It looked reducing the error rate but not fixed yet.
2) Evernote app
When evernote app syncs with cloud 1st time, freeze problem happened. This happens only once.
3) Playing movie file from google photo app
Some times happens.
4) initial setting up
So I did reset of my data and apps on Android OS.
But reboot problem might be getting worse.
Inputting my google account like "[email protected]" but frozen and reboot happened before inputting "@" character.
I tried to find root cause by removing SIM card but the problem happened again.
I asked my Japanese Gemini users if they are facing similar problem but no one faced the problem.
reflashing image but nothing changed
Hi,
I got suggestion from Planet Computer's support team that flashing image might fix the problem.
I tried it but nothing was improved.
I already sent the result to team. I hope they will pick my pda up then replace it.

By the way, it does not need install flash tool driver if you use Windows10.
Just launching Flash tool works without installation of the driver.

Need desperate help. Unlocking Huawei y6 pro (SLAL02)

After factory reset I'm stuck at google account screen which I don't remember since it wasn't my main google account.
After a lot of research I've tried the talkback->youtube but chrome or any browser doesn't open so I can't use it
Tried the gmail path but whole menu' doesn't show up, only account section and no options
Tried the keyboard "assist" but google search bar doesn't appear.
Tried to flash stock rom from sdcard but fails at 5%
Phone wasn't rooted and everything is stock
How do I get past google account screen? Is it as good as bricked?
UPDATE: I managed to get past FRP through the stock email app exploit! I cannot post links however due to forum restrictions.
In case anyone needs:
1. Follow guide with normal talkback->share link->email(select stock email app instead of Gmail)
1.1 Create a hotmail or whatever account on an other device.
2. Sign in, compose email, attach file from sd card (QuickShortcutMaker apk, you can google it)
3. Send email! you can send to random address
4. Go to outgoing, open sent email and open attached file and install
5. After install open and scroll down to "Huawei Home", open first option, then tap "try"
6. You now have access to whole phone, go to Settings->Accounts and delete all accounts
7. Go back to settings->backup&restore->Factory reset and confirm
8. Phone is now clean of FRP, enjoy!
A friend of mine asked about this. It's never a problem I've had, but thank you for sharing the solution. This could come in handy!

Indeed! Most common solutions weren't working for me so for a few days I was going crazy, but finally found one that works. Maybe someone else doesn't have to go crazy too!

app settings delete when lineageos reboots

I'm not 100% certain it only happens when I reboot, but that's one method of repeating the bug. I know it's not the only way, but it's one repeatable way that I know.
So, after I reboot all the settings of most every app that I have is deleted. For instance, in the newpipe download section there is nothing, but when I open my file explorer the videos I downloaded still exist. Fito Track records my workouts fine ,but then upon reboot the entire apps settings need to be reinstated. I have to reset my login information into K-9 Mail app. F-Droid keeps needing to update repositories everytime I open it. Nearly every app I have installed has this issue, except KurobaEx.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data is not accessible. No idea if that's relevant or not, as it was accessible when I had AndroidOne installed.
Also, notifications keeps mentioning SELinux is not enforcing your security has been weakened. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but just pointing it just in case.
Nokia 7 Plus with LineageOS 19.0
Edit:
I tried:
Code:
chown -R <user>:everybody /storage/emulated/0/*
As root, but nothing happened. Permissions stayed the same.
Also, my sdcard does not show in the file manager. When I first installed lineageOS I accidentally cancelled the formatting process.
