Hi all,
I am unable to validate the premium navigation using the code that came with my phone after I flashed my rom to Android Revolution 6.1.2. It says something like voucher not valid or something.
Anyone experienced the same problem or knows a solution to this problem?
I'm assuming the voucher you're talking about was supplied with the phone at some point (free offer or that you paid for premium navigation when you brought the phone)
Had you used the voucher BEFORE you flashed your phone ??
If so - that could be the reason why, you've already used the voucher so it's now not valid....
.... however IF you HAD used it before flashing you can re-register by the following
Open 'Car panel'
Tap on 'Get More' (large icon bottom right - looks like a shopping basket)
Press 'Menu' And you should get a 'Sync license' option show up
Tap that & it should then update your licenseI'm not 100% but I THINK the actual license is stored either on the SD card or 'online' & when you Sync it it get copied to the phone
Thank You for responding to my question, Cannon_Foddr!
I had registered the voucher before flashing the phone and it worked fine. And i had also "sync license" a number of time during different occasions but it failed to sync(loading for a while and went back to the "Get more" page).
So after reading your comment, i decided to try again. Guess what? This time it worked like it should!!
I am guessing there was something wrong with the connection to the server the previous occasions i tried to sync the license. =\
Glad it worked for you (eventually)
This has happened to me on several occasions with both stock and custom roms. All you can do is wait one day or two and it is usually possible to sync and download maps. I guess the do server maintenance or updates every now and then preventing you from syncing.

Is there a way to get whatapp for free after the free trial?
on iPhones it's 1 dollar to purchase it and you only pay one time.
in Android phones it's 1 year free trial and then 2$ per year...
Why do they even take money for it?
I mean, Kakaotalk is free anyway, and it's as good as whatsapp...
Please tell me if there's a way, even contact me in private messages if this is illeagal to talk about such things on here.
funny. i had it on my iphone and my sensation and my sgs2 and iv never had to pay for it and i got it from the market. what do you have to pay?
If you go into WhatsApp and hit the menu button, go to Settings and get into Account Info, you'll see that your Account Type is "Free Trial" in which it will have a Service Expiration. Mine says Feb 23, 2012.
If you press on "Purchase online", it will forward you to your browser in which it will cost "only $1.99 for one year of service!".
Why not use viber? or skype those are free.
chat on have launch, just download it and go for trial...
i purchased the iphone version for $0.99 when i was using iphone 4 then switched to sgs2 and mine shows expiration of oct 2020, didnt pay for android one
I do have skype and viber - skype's just for video calls, the messeging there isn't great and I barely use viber.
I even have Kakaotalk but no one in here seem to have it as well.
More over, we have a group of three people when one's using Adroid (myself), another one with an iphone 4 an the third one's using symbian o Whatsapp is the best way to go.
I didn't look for alternatives, I just asked if there's a way you know to not purchase it and still using it for free...

same here, i mailed whatsapp company, why they etended it because i allready used it one year...
maybe if you pay for the service you get some kind of extra's ?
because, why would they extend something they trail to users for only one year ?
dont get it, also i think, there are so many free Ping apps, why dont they just make an ad version or free version with less options then the pro version ?
dont get these people, when i get answer to my question from whatsapp, I'll report back here!

Does anyone know why when someone sends you a message on Whatapp, it only shows in the notification bar "Message from X", as opposed to the actually message? Every other program I used (Messaging, ChompSMS, Google Chat, Facebook Chat, Twitter) is able to show you the message on the notification bar.
For Whatsapp, you must open the program. Is there a way to change this?

There used to be a setting that allowed message content to be shown in the notification bar, guess it's been removed at some point though.
I've emailed the devs a few times with bugs/feature stuff, they're pretty responsive, why not get in contact with them n request it
If you buy it on the iPhone for $0.99 and then put your SIM in an Android phone you will get a free lifetime subscription on Android.
I downloaded Whatsapp from the market about 3 months ago. Very recently I got a message that my account had been upgraded. It's now active until 2021. I've never paid for the app and can not explain why it is now active until 2021. But I'm happy anyway

I've been using Whatsapp for a year and half. Never got a warning. Its basically free forever.
Or just backup everything, fresh install from a ROM you love with wiping all data will reset your "trail" time.

It sure is, but its not famous, yet.
I think because its Android exclusive for now.
I honestly liked it more than Whatsapp, itself.

That wiping suggestion you make doesn't work. I wipe my phone a lot because I try a lot of custom roms. I need to reinstall Whatsapp everytime and it still shows me an expiry date of Jan 17, 2012. It is based on your phonenumber registration and not on some locally stored file
Paid 0.99 in iphone for long time....now got 10 years license in Android.
There's quite a significant security flaw in Google wallet at the moment.
Going into application settings and then clearing data for wallet is the same as resetting wallet from within the application, without having to enter a pin. Know what that means? You're able to set up a new password and have access to your prepaid card.
That's right. If a tech-savvy thief has your phone and you don't have a passcode on the lockscreen (possibly because Google's implementation of passcode stuff sucks) or the screen hasn't timed out yet, the thief will have access to whatever funds remain on your Google prepaid card, regardless of the pin you set in the application.
This is yet another reason why Google needs to add the ability to lock out INDIVIDUAL applications with a code or face recognition, not just the friggin' lockscreen. If someone gets your phone after you've entered your lockscreen code/pattern, they have free reign over the device as long as the screen is on. Third party software for this purpose just doesn't work very well at this stage. This functionality needs to be integrated into the OS. Sorry for going off on a tangent.
Basically:
1) Go into application settings
2) Clear data for Google wallet
3) Open wallet and set it back up
4) Everything remaining on your Google prepaid card can now be used.
That's a good point I don't know if Google wallet is supposed to more secure than a credit card.
If some one steals your wallet, what do you do? Suspend any transactions for that stolen card. Just do the same with the cards you have on Google wallet.
Or I'd just remotely wipe the phone , so they have none of your information on your phone .

Any actual cards that you add to Wallet will of course be removed, but the Prepaid card will still work. How easy would it be to suspend transactions with Google?
Ouch... report it!

You have to have a passcode to use the wallet feature. I am not following this at all seriously.
To use this application, you have to get into line, make sure that your screen is on when you get to the counter and then make sure you put in your pin #/Passcode before swyping.
The only way for a thief to get access is to take your phone while its in your hand and the screen is open but then also if the screen shuts off, the application closes and you have to input your pin #/passcode again.
Try it.

You can reset the application without the passcode. Once that's done, simply open it up, set it up with a new passcode and you have access to the prepaid card immediately.

try this:
open clear google wallet data, run google wallet again.
it will prompt you for new passcode and link it to the google account on your device.
of course, all the credit card info is wiped, but your google prepaid card can still be added without passcode, so whatever remaining balance you have on it will be usable by whoever activate it

That means anyone who gets your phone, even while it's turned off, can follow these steps to remove whatever pin you have set. They can then set up Google Wallet with their own pin and add your prepaid card with all its funds back onto the app and start using it.
To be safe, you'll need to set your lockscreen to use one of the other security types such as pin, pattern, or password, and then hope nobody gets ahold of your phone while the phone itself is unlocked. I don't find face unlock to be very safe at all so I won't even recommend it for protecting Google Wallet funds.
to add some other failure of google wallet...somehow ur wallet gets registered w/ ur device...or that's how it looks like...i had a nexus s w/ wallet fully functional and about $12 left on the prepaid card...bought the GN and gave the NS to my wife...fully wiped the device, reinstalled the wallet and activated w/ my wife's account...guess what she got my remaining balance and when i activated mine on the GN i only got the $10...but to be 100% fair it could be something related with the fact that we're not really supposed to have this running on our phone...so might be something related to that, since my NS was on t-mobile and not sprint...hence i was running a "not approved" app...

Nope. How would I go about doing that? Knowing Google, even if we were to inform them today there wouldn't be a fix for at least a month.
Still can't believe that after three years they haven't got a solution allowing you to passcode protect individual applications in the OS. Dumbphones could do that back in 2004!

No surprise there, then. Thanks for the link. Hopefully they'll fix it by Q2.
MIUI had a sweet security app based on individual apps. I would lock down my games cause my boy liked to get in there and press buttons aka delete my saves.
I don't know what process it would involve to port this over. But it would be a welcome one.

I went ahead and emailed the relevant Google deparment about the issue. I'll keep you all updated if I get a response, but bear in mind that this is Google's rubbish customer service that we're talking about... I'm not getting my hopes up.

I guess I just don't see it as big of an issue as you do.
I mean if you lose your real wallet you have to track down the phone numbers to your credit card companies and call then all one by one. It would be easier and quicker in this day and age to find an internet-connected device.
All my friends and family have internet-connected devices (smart phones) so I could change my Gmail password faster than I could call one credit card company, get through their phone system, get a live person on the phone and cancel the card.
When it comes to money, credit cards or any thing being use as either of the two there will always be flaws that someone will try to exploit. And with this flaw it can be correct/stopped by the end user within 5 - 10 minutes.
But seriously good find on this!

That's true, I was trying to look at the worst case scenario. The flaw itself is pretty serious, but the consequences wouldn't be that great yet. I've only heard of one person who had over $100 on their prepaid card, and I think there are extra measures in place when purchasing larger items? Not sure.
But something as simple as this certainly needs to be fixed before NFC payments go mainstream.

I agree it is simple and does need to be fixed. They could make a quick fix by having each app that is based off our Gmail accounts require the Gmail password re-entered when an app is setup and not just ask permission.
Long live my dears,
I bought a TCL 10 Pro and I am very disappointed by the fact that chat applications do not send notifications.
Messaging, WhatsApp, Instagram are the applications concerned.
I don't get notified when they send messages to me. Only when I enter the application do I receive the message
I thought it was going to be some kind of energy-saving way, but it's not. I've disabled all modes of economy and it's still the same.
Will it be the new Android 11 update?
How do I solve this problem?
Thank you for your availability.
Hey there. Having the same problem. Had it for weeks now. Bought it only a month ago as well. I'm gonna try a factory reset, but it doesn't guarantee that the issue won't come up again.
FIXED / SOLVED
TCL 10 20 30 40 not receiving push notifications, also ring doorbell
I am using a TCL 10 5G UW
TCL smart manager is bloatware that you cannot uninstall. It kills background tasks, amongst other annoying features. Killing the background tasks of ring will also kill the push notifications of ring. Same with any other application that uses push notifications. It turns your smartphone into a dumb phone. It comes loaded on all TCL phones.
If you try removing the “smart manager” app through ADB. The TCL phone will automatically reinstall it again somehow.
After 2 days of trial and error; this was the best solution that I found. And it works!
It is a fairly complicated solution. You have to copy paste code with your phone hooked up to your computer.
From the Play store search for and install this app.“ccswe app manager (device owner)”
It cost $2.50. I figured what the heck, it’s worth a gamble, and it worked.
Hook your phone up to your computer and follow all of the complicated instructions to get the app manager working properly. Or get your tech savvy friend to help you follow the instructions.
Open the app manager app you just installed, and scroll down to “Smart Manager” near the bottom and tap the box and turn it into a check mark.
Now all my push notifications work like magic, including all ring notifications.
I have found a nasty bug with my Pixel 6 Pro and Google Play. The bug currently makes it, so any purchases done through Google Play (including in-app purchases) don’t require authentication or biometric prompt even though both options to ask for biometric and ask to authorize every purchase enabled. They all get bypassed.
Here what I mean:
The main configuration page:
https://imgur.com/Xkw4Ssb
Purchases authentification:
https://imgur.com/BK8mzcQ
I have able to replicate that issue three times. I’ve factory reset phone and only kept the bare minimal. And every time I add my Mastercard credit card to my Google Pay, it makes it bypassing all security measures. So, my kids could take my phone and make my wallet cry. But what is strange is my debit card was added and it never did that bug. Mastercard asks to call the bank and authorize your phone. As soon as my card becomes active, the bug is back.
I’ve tried to contact Google about this issue, but I’ve had no one answering me. I don’t know what else to do. Anyone can verify, and see? Three other people confirmed the bug to me so far and they all Pixel phones (5, 4a, 6 pro). I have a video too, but I need to blur it out and I need a software for that
Phone: Pixel 6 Pro
App: Google Pay
Card: Mastercard
Good find! I hope you report it to google
I've reported it to Google Play, Google Pay, Pixel Hardware and Google general update and I've got yet a proper answer. Everyone just pass the puck asking me to do many things I've done regardless of me saying I've Factory reset without backup restore which is the shotgun approach.
I want to see if this issue is more widespread. I need more sample data. But I don't understand how it could be a problem only affecting me and not other users...

That is an entirely different problem. It can happen due to a host of reasons. Maybe your mastercard provider doesn't support Google Pay, maybe you used a VPN, maybe GPay didn't like your IP. It can sometimes be difficult to add cards to GPay. You are not rooted, are you? That makes GPay a bit more complicated.
m the card works great of course my other devices so i assume it is from the pixel

Currently with three tickets open, at Google Play, Google Pay and Google Hardware. All of them are giving me the same answer. Yet, I show video of the bug, they ignore it. I would appreciate if there were people here that can try and test this issue.
Else... I don't get how it could only affect me when my phone is factory fresh and has only a Mastercard credit card added to Google Pay.
Ticket was escalated higher, sent a bug report to Google. Awaiting more info on this bug.
If anyone here could try it on their Pixel phone, it would be appreciated.
From my findings.
Everything updated, Android 12, Google Play up to date
Google Pay with one credit card activated (in my case Mastercard)
Make a purchase of a cheap app. You can get it refund for free if it's the first time you buy it.
You will never get prompted for the authentication.
Thanks guys

Yes I do.
So. Google support is not doing anything and just ignoring my plea. I've end up with a RMA. Factory sealed phone. Up to date. No restore. Stock OS and only enter my card in Google Pay.
Bam. As soon as I do this. All purchases go thru without any authentication. Straight purchase.
I'm getting really tired by the lack of urgency on this matter from Google. This opens up a lot of issues for phone users with kids and also opens up a lot of room for accidental in-app purchases...
Anyway to go further with this issue ? This is insane. I can reproduce the issue everytime and all I'm getting from Google are emails saying. Hey, sync your accounts
