Hi everyone,
I always get this annoying popup message
"Failed to do geocode lookup, request timed out (TimeoutError) "
I'm not sure whether it's a problem of this Huawei phone or a general Android/app message because I can't figure out which app is showing this message.
It appears in every app including home screen about every 30 minutes for about 2 or 3 seconds.
Can anyone help me?
I am having the same issues as well. Hopefully someone has fixed it!
It looks like an app that needs location access permission to function doesn't have permission. I would go into settings/apps/permissions/location and you will see a list of apps with the location permission toggled on or off. See if there is anything obvious that needs location access like the weather app or Maps.
You can also go into apps, select Google Services and make sure it has has location access permission. The Google app needs location access as well.

Thanks for your answer, I tried this out by giving location access to all my available apps, including system apps, but the message still appeared today
Same here, only on Samsung S9

I have the same issue on a Samsung Galaxy S9. This is a company phone and none of the other owners of the same model have this issue, so it must be an app or a setting.

There is a simple way to find which app shows that message.
Just install the Toast Source (created by Michał Jakubowski) app from Play and enable it as service.
It will send a notification after every toast message so you can get information about the source.
For me it was the digical. It had all permission. After I reinstall it the message disappeared.
I hop it will help you as well.

I have Android 2.3.6 running.
A number of apps support signups/logging in using a google account.
Generally, In any app, after I click "Sign in with Google" button and enter my account details, it takes me to a page where I have to click "ACCEPT" to proceed. This page lists the "This app would like to:" permissions.
Here, I am unable to click the "Accept" button. It is a faded shade of blue and is un-clickable.
I have tried clearing all the data of the system apps. It was of no use.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Hello everybody,
On my phone (running under Android 4.1.2), I often get a notification "Outlook update" and when I click on this notification, it tries to open a web browser with an URL starting by "ad-x.co.uk". Hopefully, this URL is blocked by "AdAway".
However, I suspect a malicious app on my phone.
Is it possible to get some information on which app has triggered a specific notification or tried to connect to a specific URL?
Thank you for your help.
Hi everyone,
I made a simple search yet I'm not sure I know how to really pronounce my problem for a good search result
For over 2 months now I've been having issues with Facebook app. I'd like to describe my symptoms and things I've been checking out and I'd be more than happy if you pro's could share your 2 cents.
1) Facebook crashes spontaneously .. and I don't mean FC. It simply "vanishes". The app disappears from main view (I have no ghost of it under "Running Apps"). I have to open it again. When I do, my feed is rearranged as if its the first time I launch facebook after boot. No specific thing I do that does is. I can browse, I can type a comment, I can press a like. I can simply live the screen on (keep awake with power).
2) Faceboot app constantly "disconnects" and denies updating its data. For instance, I may finger-browse my feed and suddenly I get to the bottom of the feed with "Can't Connect" and a sad cloud icon. Same happens if I try to "refresh" the page, search for a user or go into a group - "Can't Connect". I have to manually close facebook (apps-screen and swipe away) for it to get fixed..
Things I've noticed:
1) I'm using 1plus2 oxygen latest (2.2.2?). I've changed app permission to block access to "calendar", "contacts", "camera", "audio", "clipboard", "location"
2) I noticed that when I recoked app permission "Keep Awake" - vids didn't start properly. Some of them crashed my app like in (1) above. I restored "Keep awake" and "Audio" and vids play fine. I restored the rest of the permissions and I still get the "cant connect" issue.
3) I've constantly limited facebook permissions even on my old Nexus 5 phone (using cyanogen privacy default deny any permissions unless specified by me)
READ FURTHER FOR EXTRA ISSUES IF POSSIBLE
1) Whatsapp. My current whatsapp is constantly backed up and the .db file moves between phones I change (for over 3 years now).
2) my db file is ~1GB. I sometimes also copy media/photos and media/videos too .. so I'll always have access to my historic images and videos shared by contacts.
3) Whatsapp, every 2-3 weeks, behave erratically. I may open a message notification from the drawer and whatsapp takes 15-20 seconds to open that chat! I may open a picture in a group (MAINLY in groups) and it would take 15-20 seconds to open. It opens half way, device is "laggy", and after 15-20 image is fully viewable.
Same laggy activity (for both facebook and whatsapp) happened over at my old nexus 5 making me believe I actually had faulty hardware. Now its 1plus2.
Not a lot of rooted apps, other than the obvious (Titanium, SuperSU, Call Recorder - which is currently disabled).
Sorry for the long post, I lack a potato for you. Will be glad for any thoughts.
I was using the mapping app gps-tracks.com. When I open it now, a pop-up appears, saying "This app is no longer supported. Please uninstall the app" in German and offering an OK button only. See screenshot at dropbox.com/s/7weviuc5dksmv2w/Screenshot_2019-09-01-22-14-04-781_com.GPSTracks.png.
Whether I click OK or not, a few seconds later the app automatically closes. I thought this pop-up and closing logic is part of a new release of the app. I installed older versions of the app from an apk mirror, apkmonk.com/app/com.GPSTracks/. But the same popup continuous to appear and the app gets closed automatically whatever old release I install. How is this possible? And how can I stop this?
Why I need a solution: From GPS-Tracks I purchased maps for indefinite offline usage. GPS-Tracks was acquired by Outdooractive. They have their own app and are not interested in maintaining the acquired app. So they initiated this change. I contacted them and they gave me a free license for one year for their new app. But I purchased unlimited usage and want to use the maps as long as I can run the apk on whatever Android version I will use. Currently I am on Pie and the last version of the app did run on Pie.
An idea: try to block the network connection just for this app (and also clear its cache just to be sure). Since you already have the maps offline, it would prevent whatever check they have to access the server.

Thanks, vegesm! You hit the nail. When starting the app in airplane mode the popup does not appear and the app does not close. I can even stop airplane mode and continue using the already started app. The cache is not relevant. So, the app receives the instructions for popup and automatic closing from a server each time freshly at startup.
As it is a bit cumbersome to manually start and stop airplane mode each time, I wonder whether I can permanently disrupt the server connection. Possibly I could block the server's IP on a firewall on the device, or install a proxy and let it block or redirect access attempts to the DNS address of the server? How can I find out about the IP or DNS address contacted at app start? And then, what app or configuration allows blocking it?
I've never tried them but as far as I know firewall apps can already block network per app, no need to detect the server ip.
Hello,
this thread is very specific because it's about a single app from a single bank that operates in Europe (N26).
I hope to find someone who has the same bank who can tell their experience.
So the issue is this: if I tap on any notification coming from this app, the notification disappears and the app does not open. For example if I have to confirm the desktop login through the app, I click on the notification and nothing happens, so I have to manually open the app in order to retrieve the popup message and take some action.
Needless to say, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app on my S21 with no success, and I tried the same with three other phones in my family (Oppo, Huawei, Honor) and with these other phones there are no issues opening the notifications coming from this app, they correctly redirect to the app showing the required popup.
Anyone who can check if they have the same problem?
Or in general has anyone experienced the same problem with some other app? Any suggestions?
Thank you
Edit: I managed to find someone with that bank account and the same device. He tested for me and confirmed this behaviour. So it must be an S21 series problem
Try clearing the system cache... can't hurt.
