Try signing into your Google account from the internet and click forgot your password

Problem is I've tried that I dont remeber my details ... But im still signed in on my phone aha. I just access to my password somehow

I don't know if this'll work, but you could open another account then link the two. Then you might get an option to send the password to your new account.

I will give it a go but like you said it might not work.. Also I know that you use to be able to go into the accounts.db file and then view it via that but now it's been hidden

I remember Google bugging me to add another account in case I ever forgot my password. I don't know if they still have password recovery this way, but it's worth a go.

I received an email today from team black hat asking me to re-download the app since it was removed from the market, but every time I put in my order number and email it says it isn't valid. Anyone else having this issue?
you dont have to redownload. p3droids tweets said that it was a download link for people that bought the app and might have lost it. the username and password are included in the email. i downloaded it and threw it in my dropbox just in case.

I tried those to and it didn't work for me, no biggie I guess seeing as how I still have it
can someone pm me his email or the email it's being sent from. I purchased the app and lost it when it was removed from the market, it was removed when I was reflashing a rom haha.

I repurchased the TBH app and got my download page, DL the app and I get a error stating Parse error with the package??
I repurchased the app the other day and I am having the same issue. Tried everything and can't get it to work. You'd think TBH would be technically inclined enough to have a link that works.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. It finally dawned on me that the email address and order number on the email are just examples. The email also confuses things by referring to the fields as "Email:" and "Order:", but then referring back to the same fields as "UserId" and "Password".
I was able to successfully download by using my email address and the original Google order number from the purchase.

I tried to download it on stock browser and it wouldn't work. I then checked my gmail account and there it was , I clicked it and it updated on it's own.Didn't even have to put in a username or password.
Yeah, I was very glad to see the e-mail pop up in my gmail account. I thought their app was lost forever. These guys rock!
I purchased my DX a week ago and the TBH app was the only thing that didn't download. I was doing a search on the internet for that app, and even checked my older email messages to see if there was a link in it. Just when I thought I was screwed, I got the email with the link. I was wondering how they knew I was searching for that app! LOL

So I was bored today and started digging around and happen to find something that is particularly disturbing IMO. Most settings for apps and system are stored in databases of course. Not going to name which particular files contain this but the passwords for pretty much all my accounts and various things are stored in plain text. With that said one could easily create script to drop on someone phone and pull all of their user names and passwords. This is a huge security flaw that could expose everyone's account information easily. Does anyone know if there is way we can get this information encrypted?

1) If you're out and about set a password
2) With the password set, turn off usb debuging
I'm confused. Please elaborate

Bravo: i think what he's trying to say is that if someone somehow made an app that also for some strange reason had access to that file... anyone installing that app would basically be voluntarily handing out their account details.
Wouldnt this be more of a MotoBlur issue? Since MotoBlur is the one that handles all that Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Picasa, Photobucket, Email Accounts. I mean it is build into the phones custom UI.
Ok I must confirmed that also aosp email app does the same thing. I froze blur email and loaded gingerbread email and out shows the login info for my gmail and work exchange account

well to be honest you need root to get this files, and yes use sqlite in market version and you can see ALL apps and password , you can even edit it so maybe i will worry when you can have access to this without root. this isnt new, even you can check wpa_suplicant and check wifi password if you dont remember
Does anyone else's phone say this too? Everything seems to be syncing fine but this message is always there.

you dont need to remove your account btw. just select the account. uncheck all, then re-check what you want. it "unjams" it.
the sync gets stuck sometimes because you lose your network as it's trying to communicate.

What I used to do before is take a nandroid backup everyday as the tile in the quick settings used to stay white! But sometimes it jus stays orange and doesn't turn to white! Plz help
I was recently asked from a coworker to see if I could retrieve any and all media off of an LG G2 that belongs to a family member of his that has recently passed away. I've got some considerable experience with getting what i want out of all my previous android phones so I was confident it wouldn't be an issue. What i wasn't aware of is the fact that the LG G2 does not have a removable storage slot. Being said I'm entirely stumped given the lockout situation. The phone's currently locked by gmail account sign in from them trying to guess the lockcode incorrectly too many times. Now I do already know how to stock reset the phone, and as nice as that is it doesn't help me get these pictures off the phone before a complete wipe. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks in advance.
Well... you could try to enter download mode, flash the same firmware again over the current one, not CSE flash, not doing any resets etc..
It might remove the login..might..
If it's only gmail acc..you should still be able to connect it to pc and browser photos etc.
I've tried to connect to pc, unfortunately the phone wasn't set to mtp mode and I'm unable to change that. Therefore I can't browse the files.

Is it rooted?
I have no way to tell if it's rooted, but if I had to guess I'd say no it was an elderly persons phone. Odds are someone that age doesn't tamper with such things
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Power it off
hold volume up and connect to pc.
It should display download mode and rooted or unrooted.
Also get more info about adb pull
Depending on the age of the person, interests etc you can predict if he rooted it or installed recovery.
Not rooted, and I have no way to enable usb debugging to use adb.
Can you please take a picture of the current situation ?
Are you sure it's the gmail pass it's asking ?
oh..I see..you typed 5-6 times the wrong pin, then it asks the gmail pass.
Get to the persons firefox or other browser and let it show all passwords.
Upon boot phone is locked requesting Gmail info. No action is possible until that is provided.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Do they access gmail on a home pc? If so, see if you can request a new password be sent to the account in question using the forgot my pwd option.
Also, I know it says it's locked, but what happens if you call the device or send it a text? Can you answer the call? Sometimes, after the call ends, it will land on the home screen.

That would be difficult considering he stole a phone and now is trying to break into it. I don't think the original owner is going to give him that info.
If I stole it I'd just wipe it and sell it. I'm concerned with reclaiming the pictures on it for the family. Not everyone is a scumbag with no job.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
We here do believe you. But regarding google policies his family may provide some evidence or try to recover the password with google help, online of course. Everything else would be considered hacking. Hm..what does lg official software say?
I've already perused the policy for acquiring ownership of a deceased persons Google account. Unfortunately it stays that after a couple months time and even with supreme court approval they don't guarantee anything. They need to establish some law that makes this easier for relatives. I have not looked for any lg policies I didn't think it would apply being locked via Google account.

Ok. Here is what I'm gonna do for you. I will flash stock kdz, with password protect, will enter wrong pass until it asks me for gmail acc. Then I'm gonna flash the very same firmware without wipe in order to see if it removes the lock. 99% it wont remove it but 1% it will.
Much appreciated, must be nice to have extra devices to experiment with.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
I don't have extra devices. I'll do a backup and take some time.
EDIT:
Sorry but no..It asks the details again, even after upgrade :/
Thx for testing for me anyways
