Hi all,
I tried doing some quick searching on google and on xda but haven't been able to find the solution to this issue.
Suddenly today, I've been getting alerts when I'm browsing the internet on chrome, some prompting me to click OK or Cancel, some only giving me the OK button as an option. Instead of pressing those buttons, I try to press my back key. However, no matter what I do, it tries to redirect me to a website to download a mobogenie_(insert string of numbers).apk file.
These alerts have showed up on a variety of websites that I've been on, usually after I've been on the page for a few minutes.
Could it be a possible malware issue? I downloaded Ad Network Detector and Malwarebytes to scan my phone, but nothing seems to show up...
I can attach a screenshot of one of the alerts if it helps to solve it.
Thanks ahead!!
Hi all. Just bought a grand prime from T-mobile Hungary. Sometimes my screen just randomly freeze the notifications appear on lockscreen bugged the app preview doesnt show up app in the screen, notifications area dissapear etc.. I bringed to the service they reinstalled 5.1.1 lollipopp and recalibrated the phone but the problem show up again again... I restart the phone and it's work well for 1 day or sometimes only a half. They gimme back the phone said the problem doesn't show up for them (yeah they will not gonna log in to there facebook acc and start using get notifications, emails, play music etc...), but i started using and nothing changed. I returned to the service 2nd time they did the same thing but nothing changed again. I can't explain in words i didn't even find any problems like this please check the photos on my google drive. Not using harmless app only facebook, messenger, viber and play music.
Is there any way to post my drive folder link.... The forum dont let me do this and u guys will can't see the problem.
Google Now / WhatsApp Problem - "You don't have an account for <name>"
Hi everyone,
When I was first setting up my S7 Edge I tried to simply sync my old contacts via google. Everything seemed working fine until I noticed an odd behavior when I try to send WhatsApp messages with Google now. Whenever I tell google to send WhatsApp it will find the Contact, let me finish the message, but when I say "send it", it will reply "You don't have an account for <name>" and show "no contact information" (German: Google sagt "Du hast kein Konto für <name>" / und zeigt "Keine Kontaktinformationen für <name"). When I just press the send button instead the message will be sent with no problems at all.
I figured it might me a problem with the contact mappings and WhatsApp so I tried a factory reset, cleared my contacts in google and re-entered them manually. It worked at first, but once I reboot the phone, it stops working again and the error reoccurs.
The oddest thing is that it always works for a single contact, which is my mum who I entered a nickname for. For everyone else I receive above mentioned error. As a workaround I can tell google now the name and the message and then just press "send" instead of saying it.
Can anyone reproduce that issue or does even know how to solve it? I tried to create a clean google account from scratch for testing purposes only, but it didnt bring success either.
I've got the same problem, also german. SMS/Hangouts working fine, so it seems to be whatsapp. Have a look here.
edit: forgot to mention, I got a Nexus 5X. So it's nothing wrong with the S7. Also, I allready emailed whatsapp about that problem and got a canned answer with "please restart your device bla". **** them.
edit²: telegram also no longer working.
Hi guys,
As of a couple of days ago, my share doesn't work.
For instance, I'm on facebook and tap on a photo to share externally, select whatsapp (same with viber and other apps), it opens up whatsapp, I select the chat, and the share preview just shows blank (as if the photo was black). When I tap continue, it says "Sharing failed, please try again."
I am not rooted, running B151 on my L21.
Anyone had this issue? I'd apprechiate any insight into this.
Can anyone send text messages via voice?
I'm using messages and not paying verizon, so via bluetooth.
Try this... (on the watch)
Pull up the google assistant
"send a text message to (person), '_________' "
I'm given two options
X Cancel
> Send
via watch
Error screen with a cloud
Sorry, something went wrong
I cannot get it to send.
What I think is happening is that the watch is trying to send the message via Verizon and their Verizon's Message+ app that I have disabled.
How do I set the default to google's Messages app that I use on both the watch and phone?
Anyone able to get this working?
Any ideas?
FYI yes, I can send a message normally via the watch and the app and yes I can reply to texts when they come in.
This is just an issue when I try to initiate a text via the assistant
OK - got it working for anyone who wants to know
Go to apps and find (simply hit the button)
"SIM Info"
open it
Hit the 3 dots at the bottom
3 dots again for "Advanced"
3 dots a third time for "Stop Using Carrier Profile"
Hit the check mark
You should now be good and ready to send via phone

I legit don't see that with my watch, can someone post picture or 2, upgraded to Wear 2.7.0 and android 7.1.1 on watch.
Where are you lost?
Same versions.
"that" is difficult to work with.
Maybe you could post pictures of what you see

Things listed is not possible with my wear 2.0 update either. When you click on sim info with newest update, the app gives an error for no connected to verizon(something like this)
Was possible with 1.5 or whatever it ships with.
Again, I am on the SAME version as you.
It works for me.
Have you disabled any apps?
Or, changed any settings that may be causing this error.
Also, try to get the error message in it's entirety.
Maybe a photo?
........
Maybe try turning on or off cellular service.
Maybe try restarting.
Try a few things. It should work, because it works for me.
But, sadly because it works for me and I am on the same version, I'm not the person to help you.
Maybe someone else can chime in.
Good luck
This works for me as well. Please post a screen shot of where you are stuck since the instructions posted earlier worked fine for me.

Here's what I see.
You may have to do a reset?
Fyi I already have it disabled. (Start vs stop)
No 3 dots here either, bummer...
Had to do a factory reset, i disabled cellular and all verizon stuff. Must be misunderstanding what you typed, I found it after clicking on side button once and scrolling down for sim info, I was going under settings/apps/system apps which is wrong lol.
thx mate.

Worked!
So this indeed does work - BUT - what if I WANT LTE data on the watch and to be able to send an SMS vis Google Assistant? Any ideas on that? I seems like Assistant is trying to send via the default messaging app and it does not have 'permission' to send via LTE. So either the messaging app would have to be Messages+ or the permission granted. The solution is above my knowledge of Android.

I agree with you. Disabling LTE altogether is NOT a solution but rather figuring out how to reassign the default messaging app may be the answer.
Unable to send text via assistant after following steps
Hi,
Thank you all for this thread! I just got this watch and followed all the steps mentioned. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to send texts via the assistant as it tries and the gives up saying " could not connect to phone". The same can be seen in the notification panel where it shows that it's disconnected from the phone. I've tried everything including a factory reset, deleting carrier and disabling all version apps. Here are some screenshots of my sim-info on my watch. Kindly let me know anything else that you feel that I should try. Thanks!

you should try and install the stock google message app in your phone, it worked for me and try to keep your watch in wifi it can also help
I did it it changed the messaging ("through Phone" from "through watch") but neither sends a message ( i am using the google messaging app) " says couldn't connect to your phone" nor calls (still says "through watch") Any thoughts?
