Some Android apps need repeated re-verification
asked 2016-08-23 15:45:16 +0200
I have a few apps (mainly KakaoTalk) that keeps on asking me to re-verify my phone number after rebooting or even after restarting the homescreen. This problem does not exist on Jolla 1.
(The exact message that I get is: "Re-verification is required as your device information has changed.")
I hope this bug will be fixed, because is't starting to be really annoying... :(
Changed the headline for clarity and retagged. Hopefully that's OK.
vattuvarg ( 2016-08-23 15:48:17 +0200 )editI use KakaoTalk too and I had to re-verify once or twice when I installed it on my Jolla C. After that it hasn't asked for re-verification. I thought it had something to do with Googe Play Store (which I have installed), but I'm not really sure. Anyway I haven't encountered this problem for a few weeks now, even with reboots, so I'm hoping it just got fixed somehow.

The last two codes were sent after I had already installed the Play Store, so the re-verification issue was still happening then. The only thing I can think of that I did back then was a re-install from the Play store, as I had installed Kakao from Aptoide when I first got the device. I remember having some problems with the Play Store recognizing apps that were installed before the store itself and therefore they couldn't be updated, but I'm not 100% sure if Kakao was one of those apps.
The only tip I can give is to re-install the app from the Play Store. Note that I'm not sure if the problem has solved itself or if I just haven't encountered it for 2-3 weeks.
edit. I just had to re-verify KakaoTalk again. No idea what triggers it as it seems to happen at random.
