File Manager + Dropbox (how to fix if you can't sign in) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If you can't sign in into your Dropbox Account using an App like "ES File Explorer", try this (worked for me):
- Start your AdBlock App
- Deactivate the AdBlock (DO NOT uninstall the App)
- Restart your Phone
- Start your File Manager and sign in into your Dropbox account/s (e.g. with ES File Explorer)
- Start your AdBlock App again
- Active the AdBlock
- Restart
-----
I had this problem and was clueless how to get my Dropbox Accounts work on ES File Explorer (I also tried other Apps).
I tried so many ways but it just didn't work. (Factory Reset, other ROMs, WLAN, 3G etc.).
My fault was that I always restored my Apps after a Wipe. Sometimes I activated the AdBlock before I configured my File Manager.
After a long time I found out that the problem was the activated AdBlock.
So, if you CAN'T SELECT the "Email adress" and "Password" field for 10 seconds - 10 minutes on your File Manager (or let's say "Dropbox Manager"), perhaps you are using an AdBlocker.
I had this problem with my Nexus S and Nexus 4 on every ROM.
I made a video of the problem:
http://youtu.be/D1iyPWFN_sQ
I hope I helped you.

I am able to enter my dropbox crendentials and click the allow button and then it says, success! your ES File Manager is connected to your Dropbox, but I don't get the dropbox icon in the cloud section... I dont have any ad blocker installed as this is a new ROM installation (liquidsmoothv2.8)
Gdrive and box can be configured without problem and they appear in the cloud section of ES File Explorer.. Dropbox was working fine on my previous ROM (sotmaxv24), actually the dropbox app is working fine too, I just can't get it to work with ES file explorer
Already cleared data.. resintalled ES.. etc
Any other idea?

[Solved] com.google.process.gapps error

if any have you experiencing
com.google.process.gapps force close error
i have found the way to resolve it
i have attached apps copy them to sdcard and to system/app folder using 644 permissions use root explorer (root required)
and reboot
market, sync, youtube, and many more problems are solved
I was having this issue.. but after a reflash from SEUS it was sorted..
your way sounds much easier.. I had to re-install all my apps again.. root the phone.. delete horrible SE apps etc etc.. took fricken hours! (just because that error seemed to be stopping Market working Grrrrrrrrr!!)
any idea what this gapps app is and what it does? I don't remember deleting it (I generally just get rid of games, user guides etc.. safe stuff, so I was really confused when the error suddenly started popping up)
Cheers for the file tho (I have a copy safely stashed away now for next time!)
the problem i have found is that deleting googleapp.apk and google settings provider. when you do this all other google related apk's malfunction that's where the error comes up

This method was difficult to me, because i did hard reset and i dont have any program(z4root and Astro) and i dont know how install from sd because my Market didnt work.
My one way was repair from Companion

The easiest way around this is (to install a file manager without market).. either use a laptop with BT or find a friend with a bluetooth capable phone and a file manager like astro, stick the file on the laptop/their phone and send it to your phone over BT, once its copied across go to the task bar and select the file and install it. couldn't be easier..
Google talk missing mate ..cud u link me to the apk or upload it?
Thanks
I recommend you not to touch any google.apk's, you can delete googlesearch.apk, enhancedgooglesearch.apk and search.apk, rest of .apk's that have google in its name leave it alone. Also, Setupwizard (or whatever its called (Setup wiz that starts when you first boot your phone or change sim card) is closely related to google.apks and market login, so i recommend you to leave it alone to.
When i deleted it, i was unable to log on my market (when i start marked i only get force close error and my market crashes and i was unable to login to my google acc to do the synh.
Thanks a lot, i wasn't able to copy them directly to the specified folder (i don't have root explorer), but copying the apk to SD and installing them from there seems to solve the error.

for setup wizard, I have deleted it and I can access market without problem.
but, I do sign in into market first before I delete it.
I copied the files to SD and then I installed every single one of them... It worked!
But only to remove the FC message... Still couldnt use Marked... So I reflashed it and recovered with Titanium... 15 mins and I was up n running again...
Thanks dude!!! After days of searching for a solution I downloaded and copied to system\app your pack and it worked.
Now I wonder why these android phones start doing funny things when you try to delete the Google stuff. Maybe that "don't be evil" policy is a thing of the past.
Hi , I downloaded the apps.rar to my phone but it can't extract or install..
it claims the file is empty , even though the filesize says 1,95 MB. Very strange..
I get the com.google.process.gapps error when opening Gmail app.
anyone?

@ The Andropirate... You sir are my new hero for the day anyway! I rooted my phone and my buddies and had this horrid error and market freeze for a couple days now with all kinds of bogus advice on how to fix it.
This IS how to fix the problem!
One thing that was not clear to me was copying the files in root explorer which I did do but it didn't seem to make a difference so I installed the files through root explorer from the SD card and that worked. I then simply installed the files from my friends SD card on his phone without the copy process and that worked. I do not think there is a need to copy the files to system/app. Simply extract to SD and install from there through root explorer.
This fix worked on Alcatel PT-980a and a Motorola Citrus
Im a bit of a n00b and when i rooted my x10 mini i went crazy uninstalling everything. Big thanks! I just copied all the apps to my sd card and installed them using root explorer. All fine now after many panicky hours!
By the way.... if you dont have any apps you need and you have this problem, download them from 4shared.com (when searching type the app name all one word followed by .apk e.g. rootexplorer.apk) and transfer to sd card... easy!
Acer A1 running 2.1
I have an Acer S100 A1 running official Eclair 2.1
Made a factory reset thinking that it would solve this gapps problem...
But no, it still pops up each time after I reboot and market is not working...
No file manager comes with the phone...
I cannot find a way to install the google apps in the first post...
Anyone, please
Victor
Is there any possibility to install these apps via recovery? Via .zip or adb?

To verify URL search ...
Enter search terms for the URL .... verify it goes to Google to search
To verify Bookmark deletion ...
Launch the browser
Click on the bookmark icon
Long press on VZW bookmark
Scroll and select "Delete bookmark" ... verify that you get a message that Bookmark <name> will be deleted.
Click OK
-Doug
Works!
Confirmed working google search. gj.
If anyone wants the browser setting to pick the default search engine to work... I think it's a different question... But I'm glad I have google again.
I decompiled the DL30 browser apk earlier this morning... And find that the code to force bing was much easier to find than earlier versions. Looks like you took out the default bookmarks, and changed the search string? Anything else out of my curiosity.
The code also wouldn't allow deleting two existing Verizon bookmarks.
If the bookmark was named "VZW Home" or "My Verizon" or the URL was "http://converge.vzwwap.com/" or "https://mobile.vzw.com/sspostmw/forms/myacc.jsp" it wouldn't allow deletion.
-Doug
...Now with Chrome Icon
This is the same de-binged browser with the Chrome Icon
Thanks for the post.
Hmmm... Can't seem to get it to work. Copied the original to sdcard for backup then using root explorer deleted original and copied debinged to system/app and rebooted and cleaned dalvik but still uses bing and can't delete bookmarks.

Try clearing the application data. settings -> applications -> manage applications.
This will also clear any bookmarks/history you have.

Ok so I can't get it to work at all. Followed OP to a tee and the original Browser.apk says it is deleted in root explorer but when I copy the debinged named as Browser.apk it reverts back to the original no matter what... Stumped on this one...

Thanks for this. But I always find it easier to push files or make a cwm zip (root explorer is not the most reliable). But flash the below file via cwm no wipe is needed plus your existing bookmarks will remain and I was able to delete those vzw links right away. It sucked to have a scrollable widget and seeing the vzw **** there.
@OP update your first post/title with this.
good day.
Thanks Chopper the CWM flash worked perfectly. Url search goes straight to Google and bookmarks deleted. One issue I did notice was even with Google set as homepage and all data history etc cleared when reopening the browser it opens to Google but if you hit the back key it goes to that converge.vzw site even with history and data cleared and bookmark deleted any idea?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
What is the exact full URL you see ?
-Doug
@doug it was the vzw homepage but I was able to just randomly eliminating it by clearing data and cache a fourth time. Didn't do anything different or additional and it works perfect now... go figure

[Q] Phone reboots when I try to set Google Docs as default

Hi,
I am encountering an issue with my phone when using Google Drive. I also have ES File Explorer installed, whose latest version appears to be able to download or open Google Docs files as well. When I try to open a file in Google Drive, I get the popup asking which program I want to use to open the document, if I select Google Docs and tap 'Always', the phone will reboot, if I tap 'Just Once' the file opens normally. Anyone else has experience with this issue, or is able to help resolve it? I have tried reinstalling the apps and clearing their data, and failed to solve the problem.
I am running XXEMC2 (BTU), rooted with Perseus Kernel and some CPU tweaks. Yes, my CPU is undervolted but I have not suffered any other crashing / bootloop / hanging issues with the phone. I can reliably trigger this reboot by trying to set Google Docs as the default app for opening Google Docs files.

Same problem here -- running Jedi Mind Trick on Samsung Galaxy S II.
It looks like the latest update to ES FIle Explorer works around the problem (which their description claims is a bug with Google Drive).
As of today, bug is still here, with version 3.0.5 of ES Explorer, dated from July 14.
Use another file explorer .

[Q] Google Play saying "No Connection"

Well I encountered this issue where Google Play says "No Connection"(Video showing the issue and fix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B1bSBbaiig)
According to the video the hosts file in the etc folder was modyfied and there was a line added that blocked the server..
The question I have is, How this happened?
Usually via custom rom .
actually, alternative solution is to delete the host file. System automatically replace it once you opened the app again. Have you used Freedom app? That's usually the case for me.

well, tweaking your Google Play Store with apps like Freedom or even Market Unlocker and similar apps will sometimes cause that problem. so deleting the hosts file is the solution. You can fix this with apps like Root Explorer and Root Browser / ROM Toolbox.

Question File Explorer problem (i think)

good day/night heroes of xda, i have a software problem with my mi11i running on EU MIUI 12.5.4, basically, everytime i choose to upload any file on an app that requires the file explorer to choose files, it exits the file explorer without uploading anything, but apps like discord that has direct access to photos etc can upload, for example if i chose to attach a file in GMAIL using file explorer, it exits the file explorer and doesnt attach it, same goes for instagram when i try to post a photo when using file explorer, but the in-app gallery of instagram stories, it works without a problem, is this a bug? if so, is there any fixes yet?

Kindly check if you gave strorage access permission to the app as well file explorer app, also try to uninstall any update you installed recently, if you updated your app to new version try to uninstall that update, and restart phone I hope it ll fix your problem if not then you can use third party file manager app like solid explorer etc to fix your problem.
