Got this notification after a reboot today. I don't remember installing anything that should do any kind of automatic backups once in a blue moon on reboots. Any idea what does this?
If you're running Jelly Bean, try tapping-and-holding the notification, clicking App Info and see if you get a system app or an app that you installed back as a result. Might not be of much use, but you may be able to narrow down your search.
I am neither running jb, nor able to reproduce this
have you got Google backup enabled?

Yes, but i've got it enabled since... forever, and never seen this message, not even once.
BTW: I've always been wondering if it's actually possibly to manually review and/or fetch what's on that Google backup.

Hm, thanks
Honestly, there is barely anything in there. I though it was supposed to (almost) store the entire /data/data in there.
I got it too, but on GN.
I just got the same notification! Never seen it before.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus, 4.1.1. When I long press the notification, app info brings up locus, a geocaching app, which has no notifications,and doesn't do backups. I've had locus (which I used once a long time ago) on the phone for well over a year.
Also odd, I had to reboot to make the notification go away.
sean
Hmm, i have locus. And it had an update recently. Ill ask the dev on his forum, locus dev is very cooperative, thanks
Update: it is Locus, indeed, it now got automatic scheduled backup module, can be disabled from Locus via menu - functions - backup manager. I would never guess by the notification text, thanks.
EDIT: This is the Locus thread mentioning the functionality.
PS: Topic closed, i guess. Thanks everyone for help.

Hey guys I just bought a Motorola Defy Mini (XT320 , Android 2.3.6) and since I bought it I experience the following problem?
Whenever I take photos,after 1-2 hours when I go to the Gallery to check them the dissapear and it says: "No items in your Gallery."
Then I usually reboot my phone to fix that and then they are completely deleted! (I can't even find them in the File Manager)
I've already lost a couple of photos can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I haven't rooted my phone its intact!

Try another application for view, for ex. QuickPic if there is the same issue.

Hard to say what is the cause for this. The safest way to find it out is to backup data and make factory reset.
If problem solved issue was caused by some application, if not you can have also hw problem.

Was the file you needed on the thing you plugged in? Is that why you plugged it in or was that an unnecessary step?
Not sure this goes along with the rules on XDA and security in general. There is a reason you no longer have access to a device. We can't and should not take the risk and guess what that reason might be. At all times we should assume an unauthorized access attempt. Especially in this case. Reported (under reserve).

would have been helpful when i got my new phone, cleaned google account, changed pw, factory reset phone. 72 hour lock!
but.... yeah. much more helpful for phone theft than regular users.
Shortcut to Settings
First, thanks to vn_mobile for sharing.
Second, here's a quicker way
Install Quick Shortcut by OTG as per the OP
Then search for "reset"
Select Settings, MasterClearActivity, Try
Reset Phone
Done!!
Great, I now can make a list of XDA members I know are morons. Let's hope they also have social media info in their profiles.

Maybe because this Exploit has been fixed and Google won`t let you bypass the FRP like that forever. It never worked on ALL devices.
this just happened to me on my htc m9. i changed my password sunday. reset my device and im like WTF? im done with google, this feature should be duely noted to consumers and in the literature. im taking my paperweight m9 back to tmobile and getting an iphone. i don't mind security but this is too much.

I've tried many ways on YouTube none have worked. I found out a way to get on the Android launcher but when I try to factory reset it doesn't let me.
Generic solution to frp is to access browser no matter which one. Except for samsung phones and not all of them but a few. Accessing browser you need to download two apps. One is quickshortcutmaker and second is to download old google manager for log in but it need to be web log in. There is ton of videos out there. The reason you want web log in is so you can add additional account to that device. The rest is history.

I know about this one. Some Samsung phones have issues with this when u change password. It takes forever. U need to access share button in beginning of verification. Share button either name share or 3 dots or 2 dots connected. Try every single app choice u get. Apps itself is not the reason but web browser is. There are some apps which lets you share further. And there you will find browser icon. Try weshare!!!!!!
I never tried this on Axon 7 but i assume its similar to Lenovo A series with their own copy whole phone type of app. It lets you enter browser in that app. I assume that weshare is behaving in same matter.
The order is like this
You have google log in screen. Either you try there on log in or you try while accessing wifi. There is always some hyperlinks there like help, feedback, policy, security etc etc. When ever there is hyperlink then there is couple of options. Then you need to access copy paste by holding marked letters to access share or open in browser etc etc. From there is easy if you can access web browser. Follow youtube for rest.
The only time screw up messes "everything" and there is "nothing " you can do then wait is when you delete iphone from your own icloud so you dont have icloud on actuall device and then want to change password on pc while two step verification is active. That is a nightmare. It cant take up to a month before apple makes it done.

Actually no it hasn't been 3 days I remembered I reseted my device from powering it off when I was trying to fix it so that would mean that the time would reset meaning I have to wait 2 days more to see if it will disappear. How long ago was this for you?

It was 48 hours for me exactly when it was fixed. Usually I heard it takes at least 72 hours to get cleared up.

I typically used their voice unlock to get in the settings or using the keyboard on the setup to get in settings, went to backup and account, pressed factory reset and it didn't work. I waited 48 hrs, then it let me sign in.

Hey don't know if you have seen this but I would try to use this app. I haven't had to FRP unlock a Axon7, but I have had a bit of experience in taking FRP off of phones along with many other fixes. If you can get to chrome or whatever browser and download and install this then it should work. I have used this on a ZTE ZMax Pro, so I would imagine it would work here unless they patched it. Anyway, good luck and let me know if you need more help.

Hmm... Well as I have not needed to FRP reset my Axon I can't really tell you exactly what to do. All I know is that method works on some and not others. Really what you are trying to do, especially if you can use the web login like someone else mentioned, is add a Google account that you remember how to login too. Then when you factory reset you should be good. If that doesn't work I say either try to reset the password or whatever Google account is on there, or maybe EDL mode programs which I haven't done much with. I'll keep looking for another way.
Edit: btw the web login you can try to use would be with the com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk 1.17MB on the same site I last linked. That along with maybe one of the other Google account managers that are listed there. Good luck!
I have been updated to android ten and now the lock screen will revert back to the lock screen every time you put in the pin even if its correct. I seen the pixel is having the problem also. Ive tried to change to a password instead of the in and it wont let me change it because it asks for the pin to change it and does the same thing and if you twice it crashes settings app. I went to turn oem unlock bootloader in case it turned off and couldn't get back in and it wont even let me turn oem unlock on because it ask for a pin and then does the same thing then setting app crashes. Is anyone experiencing this and what is the work around?
Not a real solution, but it appears you can add a new user and still use the phone while you wait for a real fix from Google/Essential.

Another post early in thread suggests resetting the phone in recovery, of course you will lose your apps and user data.

So I had been on Android 10 since it came out everything worked fine until yesterday was trying to put in my pin, and it would do what I explained. I didn't think anything of it until I seen the article about the pixel and then I knew it was the same bug. This almost has to be a server side change because my phone was fine until yesterday. I tried everything I could find to fix it and it will not let you change the user on essential. Ultimately I did reset in recovery because the phone isn't functional after this bug hits.

Any chance that your phone automatically did an OTA update just before having this problem? There's a small hotfix that just released.

My phone didnt update same build as I have had. It just happened I didnt do anything out of the ordinary and once you reboot after it hits the phone is pretty much unusable until you factory reset from recovery.

You can get into the settings with that method but it wont let you do anything from the setting that would be useful. I seen where on pixel you can change users and use the phone but this option wouldnt work on the essential for me.
You can try deleting /lockscreen.db in data/system/lockscreen.db
That will delete your current lock screen password but won't touch anything else. Just go in twrp and mount system and go to advanced/file manager and navigate to said file and swipe to delete.
Probably not very much help but just an idea...
