Try going to Apps>Google Settings>Android Device Manager and selecting both options. Also have you enabled ADM in settings>security>device administrators? One other thing to try Access location has to be enabled under Google Settings>Location.

I just got it today!, Woho!

That is strange because mine works fine.
Too bad you can't make a backup of the data...
Have you enabled Administration to the application?

Simms,
i found a fix to google backup issue:
works ok for me:
in terminal type this:
su (press enter)
bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService (press enter)
(exit terminal)
source:http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...5-12-a-13.html
This is an old bug....and I do not understand why the 4.3 release has this bug.
But..... fixed the backup, but the device manager still doesn't work LOL.

You should see it in the administration settings, if not then MIUI ROMs probably has some type of modification.

Just did it. Same thing as before !

Got it without any problems. Google Play Services updated automatically and I was able to detect my location from the website.
Very handy, I usually keep GPS and all that off but I guess I will have to leave it on just incase.

also verify you are using updated version on play services - 3.2.25 761454-34

It's very slow on my Wildfire. Does someone have the APK of the previous version which came with the 1.37 ROM (with tabs)? Or is there another way to revert back?

I've tried the latest market also(the one at first post), and i'm now back to latest official market:
Go to Applications ---> Manage applications --> Market --> Uninstall Updates
Now you're back on first market(without auto-update), time to get back to the latest one. Open this market and browse a little bit.
After that, open a taskkiller(don't know if inbuild taskmanager works, I guess it does) and go to settings. Enable 'Show system processes', and go back to the taskkiller. Then Kill the apps 'market' and 'market updater'. Open the market again, and you've got the market with tabs and auto-update.
----
Above worked for me, I can't garantee it's working for you, but I hope it does
Maybe a little note: When browsing on the old market(without tabs), the sync logo appeared in notification bar. I think that meant he was updating the market again.

Why don't you use LBE Privacy Guard? With it you can determine for every single app what it's allowed to do. It's free and downloadable.on Google Play.

Lbe has security hole when booting up. Plus doesnt work always. Had instances where something blocked got throught. Pdroid is better but you need to build deodexed rom and build own patch.

from the official topic with the LPY room
From the pics I can see that these are all Samsung and Google apps ,most of them should have access without even asking you ,so I guess it's either a bug or maybe a virus?
Anyway I think you can safely give these apps permission seeing they are all system apps.

as I said ,all of them are system apps ,it's just weird that they should ask for permission .
usually if a system appis asking for permission then it has been modified in some way, like modified google maps .
are you sure it is fully stock? if yes then it could be just a bug maybe?
you could probably solve this by wiping ,but since you are on LPY this has the potential of being lethal to your phone.
my advice is allow them access ,I doubt any harm will come of it.
Yeah those seem to be system app but why on earth LCD test and other apps would want to access your google account?
I suggest flash safe kernel wipe data then re-flash ICS.
Or downgrade to GB wipe data then upgrade to ICS.

GenieGO not supported on security tampered devices

My S4 and S3 both have been rooted, I guess that is the reason why I get this message.
Does anybody know of a quick workaround of this problem?
I and I am sure many others will thank your inputs.

P.S. Click here for app in Google Play Store
Does you S4 show "custom" status and the unlock icon? Or does it show "official"?
Could always decompile and remove the check from the code, but that is kinda hardcore, would need to find a smali badass to do it.

Just a thought, but if you can get the phone back to saying "official" without the padlock maybe it will work. There are a bunch of threads about regaining official status floating around the forums. Some methods work for some and other methods work for others. It might be worth trying though.
Most importantly: did you grant this application root rights? I once had an authenticator for an online game that asked for root rights. If granted, it complained about the risks of using the authenticator on a rooted system. It was interesting.
Now, otherwise I can't see how DirecTV is checking your device to see if it's been compromised, or "security-tampered" ... Unless it has rights to check that "device status - custom" that the others here are referring to?
If that's the case, it should be easy enough to get rid of the "custom" status by using SuperSU instead of SuperUser. It involves downloading/installing SuperSU, updating it and the SU binary, and then uninstalling SuperUser (the app that comes with Motochopper). A reboot or two is usually necessary.
If you've uninstalled bloatware or installed a custom kernel or rom, you're pretty much stuck with "custom" until we find another way around this.
Same issue here
Won't run on SG3 with Stock Rooted counter= 0 nor will it run on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 on Cyanogenmod 10.1. Same error message. I assumed Cyanogen would trip but Stock Rooted? DIRECTV will have to address this.
Most of these apps won't run on a rooted device as they are security risks as far as they are concered

As mentioned, it is most likely either directly checking for known superuser apks or binaries or it is checking the "status" to determine if root has been achieved. If it is only checking for "status", then maintaining an "official" status should be enough to get it to run. If it actually checks for root, then the APK will need modifying to remove the check or return a reverse false positive or root will need to be removed.

Since it's a commercial app, IDK about doing that, if it's legal or against forum rules. There is a chrome extension that lets you dl it from the play store via the browser, or at least there used to be if it's been removed.

Google News & Weather working. Need Root.

Its very easy to get the new Google News & Weather app working on the Nexus 5, all you need is root and a root enabled file explorer. First off, youre going to need to use that root file explorer to ho and uninstall/delete the Google News & Weather widget. It should be found in /ststem/app/. Then youll need to reboot. Now download and install the Google News & Weather app. After this, it should be working. Oh, btw, heres the apk http://goo.gl/Iivbtc

You don't need to install Google contacts separately. Once you have Google Framework services installed and successfully signed into your Google account, go to Contacts settings > Display preferences > Configure contact lists and select Google as default.

Go to miui app store and search google install the 1st app and click on blue circle it will do everything.
copied from the miui forums:
** FIX FOR Mi5 USERS WHO EXPERIENCED ISSUE WITH GOOGLE CONTACTS SYNC **
The version of Google Contacts Sync app that comes with the one touch Google Installer V2 app WILL NOT WORK with Mi5. This is because the older version of Google Contacts Sync app is not compatible with Marshmallow. You can download the updated version of the Google Contacts Sync app here:

Follow these steps:
1) If there is an older version of Google Contacts Sync installed, uninstall it first.
2) Install the downloaded copy from the above link.
3) Go to Apps Permission and allow it to access your contacts.
4) Reboot phone
5) Go to Google Accounts in Settings and make sure contact sync is turned on.

As far as I know (just checked it on my phone), the google installer is not available in the MIUI app store. Xiaomi removed it.
Having issues with calendar sync too. If I put an event on my tablet it appears fine on the mi5 but it doesn't work the other way round. Can someone check if theirs works please

No Sir, I did this process yesterday only it's available.
Also, I am not able to make Google now on tap work. In google app the option to enable it has been grayed out.
Can anyone help me with this.

I read on the MIUI forum that it's gone and checked the 5th time now. (See attached screenshots). There was a time when the google installer was in the MIUI Appstore but it's now gone.

Ah! You did a Baidu search within the MIUI app store and found the app that way on the internet. Cool, thanks.
Is now on tap incompatible with current MIUI OS?
