New issue 524 by jly...@gmail.com: OI Safe almost always asks me to enter
my password twice
http://code.google.com/p/openintents/issues/detail?id=524

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open OI Safe on a Motorola Droid or Samsung Galaxy Nexus (not sure about
other Android platforms).
2. The main screen is displayed, and requests your password. Enter it.
3. The screen flickers like it is bringing you to the last password you
were viewing, or the list of passwords or the category screen, but instead,
requests your password again.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to be logged into OI Safe and not asked for my password twice.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 on Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.04. Was previously on a
Motorola Droid (original) running 2.2 I believe. Same behavior, only the
Nexus is faster.

Please provide any additional information below.

I tried to repeat the steps but was unable to reproduce the problem on a
galaxy nexus.

I figured this wasn't a common problem, since I've had it for years and am
the first one to open a bug report about it.

I would be willing to run a development build and get some debug output if
that would help understand the problem.

I have the same problem, and I'm also willing to do what I can to help
debug it.

I have the exact same problem on the GNex. Everytime I enter my password,
the Master Keypad fades away only to be replaced by another Master Keypad.
The second time I enter my pin, it enters the application. It is really
annoying.

Additionally, the keypad is infrequently intermittently laggy causing entry
errors from time to time.

I LOVE the IO suite of apps and I really appreciate the effort you put into
them, but such a basic bug going unfixed for over 8 months leaves me
wondering how safe my passwords are wihin you application.

Comment #7 on issue 524 by jvm...@gmail.com: OI Safe almost always asks me
I have the same problem with OiSafe 1.4.1 on a Google Nexus S running
Android 4.1.2. It doesn't happen *every* time I use OiSafe, but nearly so.

This detail might help - I have noticed that the problem does not seem to
happen if I manually re-lock using the notification-bar key icon. I *think*
I only see this problem after OiSafe autolocks (I have auto-lock set to
5-minute timeout)

In settings, I have *both* 'lock on screen lock' and and Auto lock timeout
configured. Perhaps the problem only happens when both conditions trigger a
lock?

Also: I use the Swype keyboard for my default text input; perhaps that has
something to do with it? I haven't spent much time with the default android
keyboard, which I find annoying, but it would be interesting to hear if
other users that have the same problem also use swype.

I've got the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S III. I'm using Swype
keyboard, but I also had the problem on my old phone, an HTC Hero, and I
was not using the Swype keyboard on that, just the standard Android
keyboard.

I also have this issue on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.4. I am not
using Swype, and usually use the hardware keyboard to type the password.

I also have this problem on a Samsung Galaxy S Relay. I'm not using a Swype
keyboard, and almost always use the hardware keyboard to type my password.

[2] Open it and Start record the Android system Logcat. [use (>) button]
[3] Reproduce the issue of "OI-Safe" (make sure you demonstrate the

Hi again,

Just FYI, I got to know that Android System logs aren't able to fetch using
3rd party Apps starting from Android 4.1 [1]
So whoever gonna demonstrate the above steps please use Android device
powered with a version below Jelly Bean - < 4.1 eg: ICS, GB etc

Comment #16 on issue 524 by kormat: OI Safe almost always asks me to enter
I only just realised i could just use 'logcat' from the android sdk
instead. Here's the logs, annotated. I'm wondering however if this issue is
already fixed by
https://github.com/openintents/safe/commit/16938b4a93143b60d34bf76b82ce1dc7ed1bab18

Well that's very nice, but for those of us who can't take apart an app and
put it back together again with shiny new code inside? Seems the fix is
there, but one of the app devs needs to implement it. Anyone?

Any update on when this will be released? I'm still on 1.4.1, and it
appears to be the most current on Google Play.

Galaxy S4 continues to exhibit this problem as well.
Seems like this has been kicked around long enough by enough users that it
should have been long ago resolved, no?

FWIW: I have the same problem but it didn't begin until I switched from
the alpha-numeric input to the number pad input. I have switched back and
it doesn't seem to be an issue now.
