why does this app continously request access to my google account? #460
Comments
Hi, thank you for reaching out. A few questions, if you don't mind:
Possibile causes: Solutions
Please answer all my questions so that I can identify the source of the bug. Also, since you like the widget, do you have any requests or suggestions on how to improve it ? |
@JackDotJS also, f-droid recently got the 7.1.0 update. Can you tell me if the problem appears also on that version ? |
I also have this issue. Android version 12 on a Samsung phone. No mods or roots etc installed. The notification does go away when I dismiss it, but returns periodically. I installed 7.0.0 from fdroid and updated to 7.1.0 just a bit ago. The update does not appear to have fixed the issue, though the changelog in the app doesn't show 7.1.0 so I don't know if I'm still running some kind of cached version. The app also requests permission to every google account on the phone. Some light testing leads me to think the request is triggered upon saving a note when exiting the note entry screen. |
@CampelloManuel thanks for getting back so quickly! hope you had a great holiday/weekend 😄
i can also confirm @Rawng's theory. the notification seems to get triggered mainly when saving or deleting notes. |
i almost missed this part! sorry! i do have one major suggestion, which is an option to show completed tasks. being able to know at a glance what is and isn't done would be very nice imo. more color options would also be nice. the only options right now are between "light" and "dark", and they don't even affect the widget header. i could put these suggestions in their own issues if that'd be better for you guys. |
In a few days I will publish an update on f-droid, that should fix this problem. ... maybe. I still don't understand the cause, and I can't replicate it on my emulator. I wrote the widget suggestions in #387 so one day I'll work on those. |
Hi Manuel, |
P.S. I see you mentioned Google Drive isn't actually being used anymore. I didn't realize this; I want cloud backup. So that feature is not present, and not coming back? |
That notification should not even appear in the first place.
I agree, the problem is that I can't find out which code spawns those
If it helps, i don't ask for the internet permission exactly to avoid worries. So yeah, I agree that it looks concerning, and fixing this is a priority.
the app used to have google tasks sync (not google drive, as far as I know) but it's difficult to make it work, and it's a source of problems just like this one. I just wanted to wait and see if someone shows up to work on it, but I guess I'll just remove it. I added a setting in the next app version (which will be in f-droid in a few days) to enable sync features, but it will be off by default, so no sync code will run at all, unless the user explicitly enables this. If that still does not work, I'll just delete all code that may be reading google accounts. This is just leftover code for old features, and we were planning to delete it anyway. |

@Rawng @JackDotJS @connect2400 |
Because I had actually granted permissions to shut it up, I reset the app (first exporting a backup, which subsequently reloaded fine) by uninstalling and reinstalling version 7.1.0. The notifications came right back up, so I then updated via F-Droid app to 7.1.1. So far so good.
Incidentally, the About screen doesn't state the version number...

Version 7.1.1 of NoNonsense Notes is live on f-droid and it should fix this bug.
I'd like all of you to confirm if the problem still exists in the latest version.
Thank you.

updated! but it seems the update hasn't changed anything in my case :/ ive even restarted my phone just for good measure, but no luck. denying the permission also still does nothing, if anyone happens to wonder. |
also just tried a complete re-install, still nothing. |
@CampelloManuel you should delete |
Ok. I just removed all google tasks functionality in #474 and now the app should not access any account anymore. The update will be available in f-droid in a few days |
Yeah, fyi, 7.1.1 does still request permission ONCE after each reboot for me

New update is out. Please tell me if the google account popup is still there. |
nope, still there for me. fresh install once again for good measure but no change. :( |
I see. |
i'll try setting up that logging later today |
well i managed to get something... maybe probably. |
can confirm! new update has finally fixed it 😄 |
Good. Others confirmed by email that it works for them, too. |
im loving this app so far. it works perfectly for my needs, especially with the widget functionality. but for some damn reason, every time i open it and do anything, i get the notification in the above image. it's a system notification, so it can't be dismissed or turned off.
i tap "deny" but it still comes back every time. the cycle repeats.
why does this app even need access to begin with? why does it keep asking despite me denying it?
