I went to sleep last night awaiting my first day at sixth form. My G1 was going to be there for internet browsing whilst looking for information (school intranet is very unreliable) but I woke up with a slightly different issue. An ! mark. Turns out somebody had hacked my google account overnight and changed my password. i can now no longer access any google features, including any synced things on the phone, all because of some pesky hacker (of course not aimed at the wonderful 'hackers' on here such as drizzy, twisted, cyanogen, jac etc).
However, I only have one email address so I did not provide an alternate, and to reset my password requires me to know the date i started using my account, which I haven't got a clue. Does anybody know what I can do in this position? Thanks a lot

You can wipe your phone and create a new account. Then in the mean time just email google and see what they can do for you.
yep, thats an option. however I have purchased numerous apps (copilot being the most expensive) that are linked to the account and that I will lose.
Also, I emailed them and they said I didn't provide enough information on my account to get it back. How the hell am I supposed to know the dates I started using 1. the account 2. youtube 3. Google calendar?
Why not just provide me with a security question?

I'm wondering if you are interacting with a real Google password recovery page. From my account page the only password recovery options are:
- Secondary email (optional)
- SMS (optional)
- Security question
At no point does it ever indicate it would recover my password using something as arcane as the date I first started using Google services. By the way, I highly recommend the "Write my own question" option for the security question. Choose a question that describes a very particular characteristic of one of your heirloom or keepsake possessions.

Besides a secondary email account (which i don't have) it is not possible for me to do this! I am really pi*sed off with google at the minute, and am considering selling the G1 because of this. I am an ebay seller with items currently on and use my gmail address with confidence for that account, and unfortunately I can now no longer send/ receive emails to customers. THANKS A LOT GOOGLE

Any reason why you couldn't recover using the regular account recovery screen? It should use your security question.
I'm not sure why you're angry at Google, when your own computing practices are what probably caused your account to be exploited (probably weak password or trojan installed a keylogger)? Regardless, Google is just practicing normal due diligence for account recovery. Account recovery has to use information that only you know (and which you possibly might not even know yourself).
If you're concerned about your eBay sales, go into your eBay preferences and change your registered email.
I dont have another email address, and have no intention of creating a new one! My password is a mixture of numbers and letters (UPPER and lower case) and I have a separate laptop that handles ebay sales so the only thing that the laptop accesses is ebay website/paypal/gmail and its running linux.
The only other time i use my gmail account is on my g1.
The reason I am angry is because this is the only company I have ever seen with security measures this tight! Even when a friend lost his paypal password it was a simple DOB/ security question thing.
I go to recover password, and it asks for my email address. I then type it, and it tells me I don't have a secondary address to receive my security question and to fill in the form posted above. That is all I get, no security question!

That does sound like a pretty secure setup.
Well I guess the best you can do is just try filling out that password recovery form. It doesn't appear that dates for the times you first started using specific Google services is necessary. Worst case scenario you could just guess. Since you already don't have any access now, I reckon you have nothing to lose. Good luck!
Title says it all...in the All Contacts Updates tabs it's not showing the option to link all contacts with my Facebook.
It works when I do it manually, but I obviously don't want to go through 250+ contacts and link them one by one.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
I dont think it's a problem as such, rather just the way it is!
I agree though it's a mission to link them all, and TBH it's not worth it..... I've linked mine and none of the automatic updating of profile photo's, status', or events works unless i press update on each contact manually!!
Others are having the same problem and so far no solution

Works fine for me and I have never updated a contact manually since creating the link.

Same here, and only 2 of mine wouldn't link automatically. 1 of them uses a different name on facebook than in real life and there's no email address for her, and the other one has a double-barreled surname and he only uses the 2nd part of it on facebook.
I've found the facebook integration pretty much perfect and have none of the issues that others have reported. It updates for me on a very regular basis, both status updates and contact photos.
To make sure it works fully, just make sure that your contacts have email addresses that match their facebook account emails. That way, it can match the majority of them with no problem.
Yeah it would be really nice if it could link contacts to facebook itself but that would require that all your facebook contacts have chosen to show their phone number in their facebook profile and allow everyone to see it. That is highly unlikely that all your contacts would do that.
Another possibilty is maybe to enter peoples facebook mail in your Contacts. However, I dont store email adresses in my Contacts.
Therefore you need to link manually. However, I miss a feature to backup the link when you install a new ROM.

I had no problem linking them and 90% of them were found automatically by name ( i do not have email address stored with contact details), it's just the auto update feature that does not work at all

Yeah, but not all people save email adress in their Contacts.
Yeah I just went through and manually linked like 100+ of my contacts.
When I go into each contact's Facebook link page it automatically suggests the correct person to link to. The issue is not that it can't match up the contacts with my Facebook friends, it just doesn't show the option to do it all at once.

Read my first post - thats why I write it would be impossible to make a link unless the facebook contact has entered his/her phone number and made it avaiable.
back to the OP, was this resolved because I have the same problem, it doesnt show the link all facebook option in the updates and events part, just my facebook profile pic and when i press it it goes to my updates? How do i get this option to link all because i cba linking 200+ contacts?
Mine linked 39 contacts to Facebook automatically and seems to do it by name (since I don't have emails stored for them).
Shame it doesn't fetch any telephone numbers listed on their Facebook profile though.
Mine only did 2 or 3 automatically. What annoys me the most is that the Facebook link only updates HTC Contacts automatically, to save the information to Outlook Contacts you have to go in manually - and this means that when syncing via MyPhone or ActiveSync the pictures and birthdays etc aren't always synced.
And not adding birthdays to the calendar automatically bothers me too.

Maybe not before it became normal to send and receive emails on phones, but it's very common now, so I'd imagine more and more contacts are getting email addresses added to them.
It's the most obvious way to link a contact to a facebook account, after all, it is what you sign into facebook with! And as you yourself pointed out, not many people have their phone number publicly available on facebook, and quite right too!
If they're your friend on facebook then you've got their email address. Just add it to the contact details and it works.
Anyone experience this problem where after u link a particular contact to his/her facebook, the whole phone becomes very laggy when u try to edit the contact info again? Any solution to this?
Hi, I have another problem with FB on HD2. I added some new friends and I try to link them manually but they are not shown in my list for choosing FB link(when I try to edit contact options and link it with FB account). If I start FB client however the new friends are there. Another problem is that I have deleted some friends and they are still listed as friends on my FB client.
Anyone can help?
Cheers
I found a solution in my case.
I had the exact same problem, and then I found that in "All Contacts" if I go to the "Updates and Events" scroll-tab in the bottom I can select to link multiple accounts, and voila - all is well. It even auto-detected all of them:
I cant find that " .. to link multiple accounts"
Nope nor me!
I have had no real issues with my N1 since I got it. I have been using CM's roms. The other day I noticed that when I was making and receiving calls the wrong organization was showing up. I noticed that if I deleted a contact and reentered it it fixed that contact. I have 200+ contacts with multiple entries and would like to see if anybody has an easier way to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Manny
same here.
the organization is shown up wrong in the in-call page.
in my case, the contacts were synced via Gmail. I've checked there and the information is set correctly. even on the phone, if I go to edit the contact details, the organization is shown correctly. only when in the in-call page, the information is wrong...
tried to re-sync several times with Gmail after changing some information, only to test, but it won't correct the situation...
Same here. Contacts sync'd from Google/Gmail. Everything shows up find on both Google and phone's contact list, but in-call display shows something different.
I though it was me lol!
Yeh i noticed that, not sure if it was doing this on older cyanogen roms or not.
Funny...I get one contact picture for all of my contacts that have an organization assigned??? She's not even in the organization.
I am glad that I am not the only one. I even turned of sync and deleted all the contacts on my gmail and on phone. Then restored a back up to my gmail account and let the phone sync up but it didn't fix it. The only way I have corrected it on some contacts is to delete them and reenter them. Its okay when the only have one number but when they have multiple numbers and emails it will be a hassle.
i hope this gets into cyanogene's issue list and will be fixed within the next release.
I have the same issue.
Is anyone experiencing this issue syncing their contacts with Facebook? This was an issue for me when I first got my N1 and not syncing my contacts with Facebook fixed it.
same issue here.
Me too got same bug
I am glad that I am not the only one, but I would have expected someone to have a solution. I will have to do more searching.
Wrong Organization
I am also getting wrong organization for the calls coming in. It is quite disconcerting, because I need this data to be right. However, I fulfill this need by using the name and number to figure it out myself, and by asking the caller who they're calling from. This should be fixed soon.
I have model Nexus One, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2, kernel 2.6.33.1-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1, mod version CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1, build #EPE54B.
P.S., with all my "should"s, of course I am very grateful for any and all work that's gone into this for otherwise uncompensated work. I'm leaning toward learning this programming myself, so if anybody insists and points me to the right primers, I could fix it myself.
Hi All,
This weekend I installed a couple of ROMs and played about with my phone quite a bit. I didn't install new apps, except for the ones I already had in previous ones.
Unfortunately this morning I have found that my google account has been hacked and some sod has been sending emails from my e-Mail address. Here are the details as provided by google:
Mobile India (125.19.103.21) 08:53 (2.5 hours ago)
I am not placing blame on anyone, or pointing fingers, but perhaps it can serve as an alert to the mostly honest XDA community.
you live in india?

In short, no I am not sure ... but the coincidence cannot be overlooked. I've had my account for several years and this had never happened before.
I also checked my PCs and they're clean, I don't use (or let anyone use) my account for stupid things like sending out webcards or anything of the like.
My intention though wasn't to indicate there is a problem, but to raise awareness of the potential for one.

This is odd. Same thing happened to me couple of days ago.
Aparently someone sent the following message: "Subject: Have been searching for a best place to buy drugs? here it is: **url removed**" to all my google contacts.
My account was locked, with a message saying it was "compromised" - asking me to reactivate the account over sms / phonecall.
I did not check where this happened from , i just reactivated and changed my password.
I had the same thing happen to one of my dummy Gmail accounts a while back... an account i hardly use and have certainly never logged into on Android..
Just pure unlucky mate, nothing to do with Android any build or any Chef...
Reset your password - delete the crap - and get on with life...
This has also recently happened to my yahoo and facebook account, since the two were linked on winmo, I traced it found it came through via one of those stupid apps that someone dropped on my wall. Facebook has been going through a rough patch of these types of break-ins. It could be something with that if you own a FB account.

i am using android now for several weeks and yesterday was the first time my phone asked me for my google password (in a textbox), after i entered it, everything was normal.
but now as i read this topic, i instantly changed my google account password
I'd agree that it ain't android...I've been getting e-mails from facebook/gmail friends, most of them with a topic saying: "Hi:" and most of them are fake user ads from a Taiwanese company. Be careful who you add on FB/Gmail etc.
I'll quickly reply to all of you as best I can
1) WinMo ROM is completely empty. No accounts setup, no contacts, even sense is disabled.
2) My Gmail password is quite strong (which is what surprised me the most) it is longer than 8 chars, combination of symbols, letters and numbers
3) I don't use *any* facebook apps/games, precisely for that reason
4) I had some returned undelivered messages in my inbox this morning, it was spam with a link to a website
5)My email account spoofed, I don't care. Happens all the time and there is not much you can do about that. What concerns me is that this person actually logged into my account and managed to send mail to all my contacts.
I'll post a list of my android apps soon (it's quite long)
Do you use the Gawker service to login to any of the websites they are a part of?

If so, that could be a good reason why you're getting spam.
If anyone is interested, the Exchange service on the G4 (at least the T-Mobile version) can be disabled via the apps menu and Google Exchange services can be installed.
This will allow you to use the GMail app with Exchange enabled hosts, like Hotmail/Outlook.com and retain push mail, contact and calendar sync.
Recommended steps:
If you have any accounts using email and exchange, remove them first.
Open Settings/General/Apps/All
Tap on Exchange (The LG one with the blue icon)
Force stop
Disable the Exchange Service
(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point)
Install Google Exchange Services
(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point as well)
Open GMail and you will have Exchange as an option when you add an account.
This is gold to me.
Thanks.
sweet thx!
edit: oops that didn't work for me it gets stuck constantly sync'ing and has some exchange service crashes hmm...
Works fine here so far. I just wish you could disable the remote administration requiring your device to use a PIN. I'd love to use Smart Lock.

It's important that you remove any old exchange accounts in email first, then force close the LG exchange service and disable it. If you don't disable it, then GMail will get stuck syncing.

Just waiting on root so I can keep my damn unlock screen without having to put in an 8 character password with numbers and special characters every time I want to unlock my phone.
I might just bite the bullet and buy touchdown for $20 because I heard it doesn't need to apply the permissions to your whole phone but just the app.

This. I have used Smart Lock on my N5 with no problems even though we are required to have a PIN. Fired up the G4 and immediately noticed once I setup email Smart Lock was grey and can't be used. I thought that by switching to Gmail for my Exchange email I could get around that only to find Gmail doesn't have Exchange support on this phone (until I found this thread).
Has anyone that has followed the instructions at the top been able to get Smart Lock working when Gmail is used for Exchange email? Or does Touchdown get around this?
I am going to test this out tonight - can't goof around too much while on the job!!

Outlook bypasses the security requirement, but it appears to only sync email, not calendars or contacts. You get prompted that Exchange wants you to accept these changes, but you have an option to deny them.

I'll have to look at that new outlook app closer then. It prompted me for the security permissions to wipe phone, pin, and all that crap so I exited out.
Touchdown is supposed to be all one contained environment so I don't think it syncs with the default apps. I could be wrong as I have never tried it since I always got a PIN bypasser working on my old phones. It is free for a month so try it out! I don't care about contacts and it would be nice to have calendar but I'm not heartbroken over it. What I would like to know is if you still get a notification of new mail. I would assume so but aren't allowed to preview it which is fine but I at least need to know I have mail.

Yeah that request seems to be standard whenever you setup Outlook, regardless of app. It was when it came to the lock screen settings, it allowed me to dismiss it.
I just tried the Outlook app and it required far less permissions then adding an exchange email through the android/lg settings. The regular settings wanted pretty much everything. Wipe, disable camera, password type, password length, password expiration, encrypt phone, disable sd card, etc etc. It had everything and probably because my company just checked everything. Now the question is if it would really do any of those things probably not because that it a further settings in Exchange but it just wants to be able to do all that.
The Outlook just wanted password rules, unlock attempts, lock screen, and encrypt phone. It asked to encrypt and I said no and phone still works. I was able to keep pattern lock screen but it disabled everything else besides pin and password. The Outlook app does not integrate well with Android so everything is contained in it's own app. I don't think it does notifications either since I sent an email and waited a good 10 minutes. My phone never went off but I open the app the email shows up but never as a notification.
So maybe the Outlook app will get you by for the time being.
Hrm - I'm on an LG G4 (EU H815 model, unlocked). No Google Exchange Services visible or available in the Play Store ...
I also have an old Galaxy S3 running 5.1.1 (PacMan rom) - that has Gmail with Exchange working just fine. It has the same version of Gmail as on the G4, but also has "Exchange Services" running. I can't find any other information on that though.
[EDIT] I just checked the link in the OP which looks like the latest apk, but the button for Play Store doesn't work - URL doesn't exist.
Quick question - I haven't disabled LG Exchange on the G4 yet - when I do it says that the app will be hidden from then on. What if one wants to re-enable it - will it still be visible on the Apps menu ?
TIA

Have you been able to figure this out? I have coworkers on a N6, N5, and a HTC One (M7), who all have our Corporate E-mail linked to their phone via either gmail or the htc e-mail app. They can all access their respective Smart Lock settings. On my phone, its grayed out.
Confused on what this does? Just lets you add a second exchange account to gmail? Are emails mixed together or do they remain separated? I like having my Email and Gmail in 2 different apps. I also like the LG email app.
