Hi guys,
As above. My nice, shiny new Note 7 won't backup my device to my Google Account. Backup Now is greyed out and all of the things to backup display, "Waiting to Backup."
Any ideas?
Thanks.

It's a general problem, every device is affected. Only know "solution" is disabling every screen lock method and magically the button is no longer grayed, so you can manually backup and then re enable screen lock.
Every time you need to backup you have to do this

Thanks! With just Xiaomi devices though? My OP5, Beelink TV Box's and Samsung Tab are fine with backups...

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.

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).
A genious o.o
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 don't think so. Every time you flash a new ROM, Google and lot's of other services will think that you got a new phone.
If you use Titanium Backup, you can try restoring the device ID before signing in to Google. TiBU will ask you automatically if you want to keep the new or restore the old. That might work, but I've never paid attention...

After 28 days they drop off the list if not used. You could also delete them by going to settings->google->sign in and security->device access. Touch a device and click remove.

I received an OTA today. Like 377 MB.
It looks like a new bootloader as well. Didn't come with a change log, but below is the informative after the update. NMF26X.N950USQU2BQJA

Yes it is new bootloader. I expect this for around 2 weeks now. Seems like it is little harder to flash anything on this bootloader.
On Edge of Note
Yeah I'm installing it now myself.
Updated mine but facial recognition is now not working. Under settings, I see under Screen Lock Type I still have password, Face and Fingerprints as an option but "Face Recognition" is now grayed out. If I go into the Screen Lock Type setting, Face shows the switch to the right but that option is grayed out as well and can't be changed.

Might want to try going to lock screen and security settings then go to other security settings and clear credentials. I haven't had that same problem since I updated today so I haven't tried it on this phone but it worked on another Android device that I have when it greyed out Security Options.

What's changing: Network performance enhancements, stability improvements, other various updates and fixes, and Android device security updates, including KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability fix and BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)
I'd say that the KRACK fix itself is a good reason to update.

Happened to me a few minutes ago. Don't do factory reset yet. Use ADB to uninstall the app created by substratum.

apparently all that does is clear your saved certificates. I have been able to disable face scan by turning on iris but that doesn't work so well with my glasses. Face recognition is my preference but I can't seem to get it to enable after update.

Shoot! I couldn't wait around anymore without my phone not working and did a factory reset through recovery.... UGH woke up was all restored and I forgot NOT to restore substratum and was back to system ui errors so here I go again restoring without substratum... I'm nervous to reinstall substratum again!

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.

I lost it too. Exactly the same as you.
Pinch the screen out to expand screen to fit screen that's how u do it now
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...
