Description
Device Info:
• Device: Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
• Android Version: Android 16 Developer Preview
• DetoxDroid Versions tested: v2.0.6 and v2.0.7
• Install method: Manual installation via ADB (no Device Owner)
What I did:
1. Installed DetoxDroid manually:
adb install -r app-2.0.7.apk
2. Granted required permission:
adb shell pm grant com.flx_apps.digitaldetox android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
3. Verified permission is granted:
android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS: granted=true
4. Granted Usage Access permission in the system settings (screenshot below).
5. Rebooted phone, force-stopped DetoxDroid, restarted the app.
Problem:
Despite correct setup and permissions (ADB-granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and usage access), the app still shows:
"Screen time unavailable – Grant Permission"
This prevents screen time-based automation from working.
Note:
I'm not using set-device-owner intentionally – just WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS via ADB.
