Hi,
I bought Sonic Sender and due to some changes in Google policy, App Developer has to taken down the app from Google Play Store. This app is very useful since it send automatically message oon whatsapp to selected contacts (For example I need to send New Year Wishes to 400 people out of my 700 whatsapp contact). I have to choose contact, select media and text and click on Send. It send automaticllay one by one to selected whatsapp contact and thus saving my time. I was using the app even after removing from play store but yesterday due to some reason I uninstalled and reinstalled app. App Version 2.0.6 which is readily available on many website crashes after opening of app (I guess due to non-availability of same on Play Store) and Version 2.1.1 stuck with Google Login and when I select account it throw error Failed to Authenticate.
Can any one help me getting the app working again or can some one suggest me any alternative to said app.
Thanks in Advance....

Did you find any alternative of Sonic Sender?
Same happened with me, i had even paid for the full version of the app, but the developer has stopped supporting this app, hence the error. Now the app tries to verify licence with Google during startup which fails due to obvious reasons. After googling a bit, i tried bypassing google licence verification using lucky patcher, but unfortunately the app had a check to prevent such hacks. I tried reaching the developer on [email protected], but got no reply.
The only way out I see is to either pester the developer to provide a usable version of the app or by using a third party app modifier like lucky patcher to bypass the verification.
Any help will be appreciated

Last week I noticed a device under my Google Play account (My Devices) that is not mine, a phone on a Romanian cell phone company network. I also noticed that someone from Russia had accessed my Gmail account. I changed my Gmail password (the old one was alpha-numerica,random, with symbols) and turned on two step authentication.
The Gmail account seems to be ok. The contacts all there and no messages removed or messages sent by people other than me.
The only sign of the intrusion is about a dozen "free" apps ordered by that device. It included sketchy gambling apps, a child's game that from comments I read has adult advertisements, and ringtones. After I changed the password there are new "free" media on the account - books and various video. These appear to be from a different user - all in English as opposed to Russian and nothing sketchy.
My guess on how this started - I downloaded an app with about 100 reviews. The next day the "free" apps started to appear, and the unauthorized device also was added the next day.
My SGS 3 isn't rooted. For Jellybean it seems that I have to wait for a stable root, should be another few days.
I contacted the Play Store support and they were of no help. They referred me to Gmail support but Gmail doesn't offer phone support. I think only support on a Google Group forum.
Any idea how this could have happened and how to get this device off of my account? My PC's are secure and my primary PC is Linux.

I have the IMEI # of the phone added to my account, also the model number (registered in Russian Federation). Could the IMEI be useful? I can PM if interested.
Imeis are quite useful to many people...Just don't pursue this on xda.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My account too was almost hacked.
I signed into youtube and a notice was shown that someone from ip in china tried to log into my google account and it denied them and i changed my password. No weird apps nothing.
The thing is probably the app you downloaded.
Just because it has 100 downloads doesn't mean its malware but you need to check permissions always.
Even big games like "Paper Toss" has been know to sell peoples info to companies.
When you read permissions. There should be a list of all the options the app requests.
Be Smart. If you download a calculator, It shouldn't have access to your personal identy, messages and the big key is internet access.
If you download a calender it may need access to contacts but it it also needs internet access, its probably is storing your contacts and sending them out to a site that then sells to a company and lastly, your grandparents receive phone calls asking if they want to buy a service and use your name as who referred them.
Also. rooting is a good option. With an app on here called pdroid or droidwall you can download those apps but it will alert yyou when the app wants to use a permission (like internet) and gives you the option to allow or deny.
good luck
I have one update. I think that after I changed my password and went to two step verification, the purchases of "free" apps and media stopped. It's been four days and nothing new added. So far so good. Thanks for the replies. BTW, Google of no help.
I'd still like to know how the Gmail account was compromised - I may never know.
similar thing just happened to me (Galaxy Note) appeared on my account from no where. When I contacted google if they can help or if they are interested in tracking him down, all they said was we cant help you. And change the pw. Obviously I know that I need to change the pw. I know Apple would have tracked it down somehow if it was an iphone. My pw has 22 characters number letter symbols yet it was hacked.
Since google is not helping me I installed Android Lost app on this NOTE and waiting to get a location update via email. I know it wont do anything much and I cant do anything against him or her since no paid apps were downloaded. Still I would like to do something to crooks like this. He only had 6 apps installed (facebook,viber candy rush) and terminal emulator (which worried me).
I really hope that Android close their unlimited backdoors in the OS.
I have been using admob for three months now...
i have 12 android apps requesting ads from admob...2 of them from amazon app store (added last week)..others from google play..
The problem is that since about 4 or 5 days i can't make any write changes to my account...this includes
1.cant change refresh rate..
2.cant add new apps..
3.cant modify the market url for existing app(for my new apps from amazon store,which has the same package as another app from google play.For admob it should be like same app requesting 2 ads..is that a problem?)
4.cant change colour of ads.
that's all I have checked until now..When I try any of these,i simply gets logged out from admob..then i will have to login once again..
There is no problem with reporting and revenue updates...
I have tried from Chrome and IE..i am from india..
Also,i would like to point out a change in admob login..Earlier I could login to google with another 'google id' while logged in to admob..But now it seems they are connected. Logging out of google logs me out off admob too..
is it just me or anyone else have the same experiance?
anybody?

Hi Everyone,
I recently moved to Boston and I bought a new SGS3 and a mobile number. I have also updated all my location/address details in my profile and Google account settings.
But still when I try to download some apps from the Google Play store (Like say "google voice" for instance), I am not able to download or install it, and I get the error message saying that the app is not available in "my country" or "the app is compatible with the device"?
How is this possible? I saw from Google Voice webpages that it is available in the US! As I mentioned earlier, I just used Google Voice as an example.. but there were few other apps too that I couldn't download.
Can someone let me know how can I download these apps or why am I not able to download these apps though the device was bought in the US, registered to a US number, etc?
Thanks in advance. Cheers...
Hi All,
I've been attempting to use an alternative to Message+ (Verizon) but so far I haven't found any at all that will work after a reboot. What occurs is the SMS is logged in logcat but it doesn't pass to the messaging app so there's no notification or read into the app itself.
Anyone using an alternative? Message+ is ok except it wants to use Google Play Services and I get a warning on startup.
Cheers, Andrew
Hi Andrew,
Messages by Google works fine for me, though it's pretty large when installed:/
Cheers
Kristof
Yeah and it requires Google Play Services.
If the device is rooted and all Verizon apps are stripped any messaging app works fine.

how? is there a step-by-step guide?
Forgotten thread?
I am doing some test in this days with Simple SMS Messenger, installed from f-droid.
I disabled the battery optimization and enable background for the app. Then it seems to work, once you started the app after a reboot, it works good, even if I close the all the apps, and load a number of other big apps. Of course I am not granted that the garbage collector will not flush it any more. But I keep going with my tests.
What I cannot find is a way to let it start automatically after reboot.
Note that I still have play services active, though.
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.
