Okay, guys, I am really stuck with this problem for about a month now! Maybe someone had something similar or can give me some advice – any help would be greatly appreciated!

in June I've made a minor update to my app and from then nothing works like it should. It had a lot of bugs, sometimes the game didn't even started. The bugs are different but the main thing is like some resources are missing (pictures, music etc.). The bugs are different every time. In fact, I can make 2 builds one after another and they will have different bugs. Important note: I changed literllay NOTHING from my previous configuration that I have built my last successful update.

All my builds are working perfectly without Google Play! I do a build, then install it on the phone and do not have any problems. The problems start when uploading it to Google Play and then downloading it to the device. First, when this happened, all my users had the same bug, so I had to hide my app, and now it's not available to the public. All the following builds had this problem too, so downgrading didn't help either. It's like something changed in Google Play in June!

My game is made using Unity3D, though I've just uploaded a new build on a whole different engine (with the same keystore etc.) and it doesn't work either! My game uses an obb file, so I guess Google does something on its side and then my game doesn't work. When I just replaced an obb file downloaded from Google Play with the one from my PC (it's the same file, I've just uploaded to Google Play!) everything works!

I repeat myself: I've tried EVERYTHING! All the possible build settings, even different engines!

If I just install the game on the phone without Google Play, it works perfectly everytime! Then again, when I upload it to Google Play and then download it, it doesn't work properly or works at all!

I've noticed that with corrupted sdcards, usually..

• Do your pictures get saved straight to the card or just internal storage.. i.e. -> How is your camera data managed?

If this is an internal storage issue, this may possibly be results of a corrupted OTA installation.. you could possibly reinstall the actual Factory Firmware (FW) from sammobile.com with ODIN.exe
Whatever you do, make sure it is the correct firmware (or newer) for your specific device model and current security patch level (info found in Settings-AboutPhone) or you could actually render said expensive device useless due to certain partition software conflicts.

There have always been TV ads for games here with small print in the corner to say that the photo-realistic graphics are "not actual game footage". So I'd never assume that they were an accurate depiction.

The answer to Google/Facebook/the one I've never heard of "doing something" is "when people stop paying them". Given their attitude to genuine malfeasance I really doubt they'll care a damn about misleading adverts (especially since that's close to being an oxymoron).

I never see ads like this on my phone (I never see them at all on my computer), and I don't use an ad-blocker most of the time (the ones you can use without root clash with the network security in some places I visit). Probably down to the apps I use and sites I visit. I also take every measure available against tracking and have all as personalisation turned off (including in the Google settings) - I don't want to see ads at all, so where I do (small banners in apps that have no paid version - anything bigger is an immediate uninstall) I prefer them to be irrelevant as I'm going to ignore them anyway.

wow that sucks. i know there was some weird glitch where i was logged in under another member's account. hopefully this gets fixed.

Were you able to get control back for your Facebook account? You might want to enable some advanced security, just to keep it from happening again.

Go to your Google app, account settings, location, and set it to off

Edit: I found the relevant toggle under Settings, Advanced. So I'm good. No more suggestions. All fixed.

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it! It may help someone who comes along and has the same problem.

I'm glad you're good to go now!

Long press on it and drag to the x or trash bin on the screen

Hi all I need help with the notification settings on my samsung s10+. Exept for whatsapp, I'm not receiving any notifications at all. When I go to the App info of an app, the notification settings are set to allowed, in the lock screen settings notifications is turned on, do not disturb is turned off. Even in the notification settings, there is a list of recently send notifications but I haven't seen any of them. Somewhere there is probably a hidden setting where it says it shouldn't show notifications but I cannot find it. Can anyone please give some tips?

Hi YotamJo, and welcome to Android forums!

You might want to check the date of a post, and also if it's already been answered, before taking the time and effort to type a reply. This thread is 2 years old! And it was marked as answered.

Just a friendly suggestion!

I using this tutorial and it works fine to me.

https://androidwave.com/upload-manager/

It is using Retrofit, JobIntentService, Broadcast Receiver, and Notification Service. The uploading progress will be shown as notification.

i saw this on the chromecast help forum:
https://support.google.com/chromecast/thread/615226?msgid=622679

you can even post your question there.....and a chromecast team member will post some troubleshooting for you. you can even do a chat as well. google has some great teams that you can chat with for each of their devices. i have chat with them a few times for my chromebook that i own.

what is facebook? sounds like it is an awful app, especially if their customer support sucks.

Their customer support is pretty much non existent

can you share twrp

Click to expand...

No, I deleted it and so did the person who made it. There is no way to flash anything on this phone so if you can figure out a way to flash a boot.img, like extracted from a kdz (this is what I originally did), then let me know and I can have the person I know make twrp from it.

Could you provide more details about how your MBox is connected to your home network? Your reference to 'Ethernet/WiFi' indicates both wired (Ethernet cable) and wireless (WiFi) issues. Is it indeed a matter of trying both and neither are working out?
It would also help if to know more details about your home network -- do you have an ISP-supplied modem/router unit or do you have your own router? If you're using an Ethernet cable have you tried swapping it out with a different cable you know is good, or used a cable tester to check the cable? If WiFi, approximately how much distance is between your router and your MBox? Are you relying on a 2.4GHz or 5GHz band network, or a mix of both?
Don't rely solely on the fact that other devices are connecting to your home LAN without a problem, the issue you need to focus on is the connectivity problem between your MBox and your home LAN.

Also have you tried changing the video resolution? Some resolutions don't support video stabilizing. The video didn't look like it was due to a shaky hand (looked more like dropping frame rate) but you never know.

Just because you have your phone on silent doesn't mean it still won't vibrate... if you look at settings, sounds and notifications, notification mode, make sure mute is set as your default sound.
That way you'll get no vibration whatsoever...
Also, fwiw, lose the Facebook app and access it using your browser...

I dont have facebook anymore and my phone is definitely on silent, not vibrate. Nothing else is vibrating my phone and I went through all settings I could. It's happened 3 times today

I thought _Chinese Manfacted device is easy to route. But I can not root my "Symphony i95" (spreadtrum-Oreo 8.1.0). Because ... the lack of Flashable file and my allergy about "S.P. Flashtool" !!! Do not get device connection even after trying harder ... Is there anyone, who worked with the device?! Please... Work with the device. Thanks.

just an fyi there are so many really good launchers that can do add more homescreens veru easily. the two best launchers that are pretty popular here is adw launcher and nova launcher. i use nova prime (its the paid version of the free nova launcher). i currently have 5 home screens. i like nova because it has some really cool visual effects and is very customizable. i would look into trying one out.

yeah if you go to settings>about phone>check for updates and there is no updates then you are good to go. unfortunately, for you.

I am not very knowledgeable about how tablets and phones work.
Is the OS provided by Verizon?
Should I be asking theses questions on a Verizon forum instead of an Android forum?
Is it possible to install OS from elsewhere that doesn't depend on Verizon?
It seems a shame to throw out a good working device that I use everyday just because it can't be updated.
Thank you for you replies

so the way it works with google and its android os is this:
android os is an operating system much like windows. every so often google will update its android os. each update is named after desserts alphabetically. it started with cupcake (not sure what happen to a or b) then eclair, froyo (frozen yogurt), gingerbread, honeycomb, ice cream sandwich, jellybean, kit-kat, lollipop, marshmellow, nougat, oreo, and now pie.

those are just the base os. each manufacturer and even carrier will add their spin to the os. they will add their own launcher which usually ads bloatware (unnecessary apps).

so yeah most likely your tablet will not have a pure android os, but rather something that either verizon or the manufacturer will add. most basic things will be very similar, just the feel might be slightly different.

if you checked and see if your tablet has an update and do not find one, then there is your answer. no updates are available. if there was one you would have found it there. most devices have a shelf life of about 3 years or so before support goes bye bye. once support is done, do not expect any more updates.

on some devices you can root it and install a newer android os provided that the developers have support for your device. these guys will have figured out a way to root it, install a custom recovery, and even create their own version of a custom rom.

i could go on, if you interested in learning about rooting and how that works, but your device does not have any backing of developers so that is not an option right now......it looks like your stuck with whatever android version is installed on your tablet.
