Disable Service app weird update notice - General Topics

Just wanted to update the "Disable Service" app from Google play.
At the "changelog" it says 1.5.9 - say goodbye.
Pretty vague description, not really trustworthy.
Does anyone know what the dev means by that?

I asked me the same today. Have you found anything out about it?

@Walhalla, got a just as vague response from the dev as his description on Google play.
'Just no need to update it.Never mind.'
Find it even weirder now

Google Maps 5.3.1 Available

As the title says, couldn't find a changelog though...
Google it and you'll see that they are getting slammed like crazy due to the lack of one. No clue the reason, they just didn't put one out.
Loving all the crybabies 1-starring it in the Market. Go back to your iPhones

That's weird indeed. Must be some security patch that will be announced, once the majority upgraded...
Yeah, there is a changelog... it says for me "5.3.1: Bug fixes for latitude check-in and places" or something.

And since when is demand for a change log an Apple phone. May be it's you who should go back to an iPhone for your lack of acceptance of different opinions.
Could you please share 5.3.1 for those who don't see updates in the market?
did they fix heavy battery drain on nexus s with latitude activated?

They took it down temporarily. Something to do with issues with google play or something. Will be back when it's fixed

Thanks for the info mrrick, hopefully they get it back soon.
Is there any kind of announcement or official mention of it?
I searched for this earlier and found nothing.
I would have expected a mass email or something.

When you typed this thread title there were links to at least two posts with the same question that popped up and the suggestion that you read one of those posts before starting a new thread.

Is it just me or did everyone stop rating apps in Play Store?

I used to get a least one rating per day in Google Play Store but I haven't gotten a single rating in 5 days. Is it because Google linked ratings to G+ account? Anyone else notice the same thing?
Yeah, I think that's the case.
Personally I stopped rating after that change because I don't feel like joining G+, haven't done it since it launched, so I think it's a bit of a **** move by google to force people to join it like this :/

Ugh I was afraid of that. I don't miss the 1-star reviews but I was getting so many 5-star reviews. Now my rating is stuck.
what app ? ill givya a rating i have g+ and i don't mind

I wasn't asking for ratings, but I'll take yours anyway! Thank you!!!

Post here when you're done, and I'll send you an code to unlock the trial version so it never expires.
Yup, this is a ploy by google to try and drag people in. They think that if they get you to sign up for g+ so you can rate apps, that eventually you'll start using g+ for other things. And the more you use their services, the more they learn about you and the more chances they get to show you ads. In case anybody forgot, google is an advertising company whose sole purpose is to make money.
Oh well , i don't care much :d my profile is empty anyway and im not an international fugitive to hide my name
Also interesting app, will be back with thoughts on it and an appropriate rating and comment don't worie im not a 1 star guy if i see something that i don't like :d
Its only because Google is now forcing people to join G+ in order to rate apps and games otherwise people would be more than happy to rate it as they download. I don't see the point of G+ anyway, its nothing that special in the first place.
hmm i actually like it a lot 5+

Check your PM for the unlock code.
It's a shame you're not getting the reviews you should. Google really ought to encourage reviewers, rather than making them jump through hoops to post reviews. The market is already pretty well stacked against the little guy, and discouraging reviewers will only make that worse. Hopefully as users grudgingly accept the G+ nonsense, you'll see more reviews coming in.
Ranting aside, your keyboard is great (and yes, I reviewed it as such--I'm not going to fuss about Google wrecking things and then leave you high and dry ). I had been wishing for an off-center space bar that I could actually hit when typing with both thumbs, and pairing it with autocorrect that doesn't make me furious makes for an awesome keyboard.

Stopped rating because I was being forced to use G+.
I tried using your keyboard, but it keeps force closing on me. Got 3 fc's just while doing a review of it in the play store. It looks like a great keyboard, and I absolutely love all the customization available for it. I'm running a 4.2.1 rom on my ns4g. I imagine my 4.2.1 is what's causing the issue here.

Its The G+ thing.
I think Google is doing something great.
In the past four years there has been a growing trend of being rude on comments and reviews.
These "haters" have become such a problem because almost every youtube videos has someone talking crap and its starting to spread to play.
The comment section on youtube is so disgusting and people are getting so bad that they just click videos to start negativity.( for example: click a lil wayne new video and trolling saying he sucks **** and so on).
But Google needs to capitalize while making money. How?
Use G+ accounts that show full names and pictures. Youtube is still an option right now to use it but Google is giving you the option for now before they give you no option. And now youtube cleans up and G+ gets more subscribers. Now play is not bad but because these people are out there they can stop before it grows.
Alot of 1 star ratings hurts devs because people shout "virus" or "this is stupid, dont waste your time, doesnt work" when they can't read the clear instructions and want computers to do everything for them. Little 11 year old johnny will think twice before saying an app "suck *********" when his picture will be next to his words and his parents use play for apps.
WIN...WIN situation.
I decided to check out the keyboard, and I love it btw 5 ★. On topic, it's all about G+. Google gets more users, in hopes that some will actually start using G+. And as already said, they'll clean Play up comment wise because it's getting like YouTube already is.

Wow! I'm really sorry to hear that. My Nexus 7 is running 4.2.1 rom with no TypeSmart force closes, so I don't think that's it. TypeSmart "should" run smooth as butter on your Nexus S.
Can you possibly send a stack trace? If not, can I send you a diagnostic?
Thanks in advance...

Let me grab it again from the play store, and go from there. I've wiped my phone and flashed a new ROM today, so it might be different.

In the last couple of days I've been getting review again (some were from this thread, thank you!). I don't know if it was a technical glitch during the changeover, or because people are getting used to the new format. People can still rate anonymously if they don't leave a comment.
To be honest, I also think the G+ thing is a good idea... in principle. I was just a little freaked when the reviews dried up. I will use it to thank users that like my app, and reach out to those that don't.

Question about spam

Since two days ago i'm getting spam only from this site. When i surf xda chrome takes me to the following link www.itt-edu.us popping up a message that says my phone has been infected by a virus and if i select the pop up it takes me to the play store. Can someone confirm i am not the only one? It is really annoying! Please can anyone help me?
How about factory reset ? Do factory reset before your information and data go to some one..!

I had already found it myself but I refer i cant find the same as my problem specifically in concrete www.itt-edu.us
I also started getting this yesterday. I can't offer any solution (scan with avast app doesn't find anything), but at least you know you're not the only one.
For the moment i solved it by installing app webguard from the playstore. But anyways i would like to know the reason why it happens.
Hey I have the exact same problem, where are you from? This might be a local thing affecting user from certain regions.

Why is my Google assistant saying "indiana" when asking for weather?

Here is audio recording of that: https://lonke.ro/tmp/2017_05_20_20_45_24.mp3?dl=0. (there is that "currently indiana")
And I attached Google assistant result here.
Been wondering for years what it actually says.. It can't be indiana.. Not native English speaker, so i might just miss something here.

THANK YOU!!! It's been driving me crazy that more people haven't been asking about this. I urge everybody to ask Google for weather using a US zip code and see if it replies "Currently Indiana". This just started for me in the last month or 2.. previously it accurately named the town or city. The weather info is still accurate, however. PLEASE, if anyone has an idea of why, I'm all ears!

I think I remember reading something about this kind of scenario.
Sometimes it's a routing thing, the location given could be a major hub that you're being routed through and it sees that as your location.

It is trying to say "Currently in 99999..." but it interprets the "in" as the state code for Indiana and so it speaks allowed, "Currently Indiana nine-nine-nine-nine-nine..."
