  6. I had filed a reevaluation request before I tooted this. 2 days later, no reply yet (why does their bot take THAT long?). Instead I hear, another "fine tool" kicked in: Play "Protect" refuses installation of the allegedly malicious app, and even uninstalls them AUTOMATICALLY, without asking you! github.com/sunilpaulmathew/App

    Another rather questionable tool you might consider to get rid of (unless you install a lot from "questionable sources").

  11. Galaxy S26 – Un error de Google Play Protect bloquea apps bancarias en las primeras unidades

    El lanzamiento global del Samsung Galaxy S26 este 11 de marzo de 2026 no ha sido tan perfecto como se esperaba. Varios usuarios que recibieron sus dispositivos por adelantado han reportado un desconcertante error: el sistema indica que el teléfono «no cuenta con la certificación de Google Play Protect». Este fallo, lejos de ser solo una etiqueta, está impidiendo el uso de aplicaciones críticas que requieren altos estándares de seguridad, como las de banca móvil y pagos digitales.

    Este incidente, ha generado confusión en foros como Reddit, donde los compradores de un dispositivo de más de 1.000 euros/usd se han encontrado con advertencias de seguridad propias de un terminal «rooteado» o modificado.

    ¿Por qué está ocurriendo este fallo?

    Todo apunta a un problema de sincronización entre los servidores de Google y el despliegue de Samsung. Al ser dispositivos tan nuevos, es posible que la base de datos de certificación de Google aún no haya reconocido todos los números de serie o las versiones específicas del firmware de lanzamiento del S26.

    Los síntomas del error incluyen:

    • Aparición de un triángulo rojo de advertencia en la Play Store.
    • Mensajes que indican: «Este dispositivo no está certificado para ejecutar apps de Google».
    • Bloqueo inmediato al intentar abrir apps de bancos o plataformas de pago (Google Wallet, PayPal).
    • Soluciones temporales: No devuelvas tu teléfono todavía

    Aunque el error suena alarmante, los reportes indican que en la mayoría de los casos no se trata de un problema de hardware. Si eres uno de los afectados, puedes probar lo siguiente:

    1. Reiniciar el dispositivo: Muchos usuarios han confirmado que el error desaparece tras un simple reinicio, ya que esto obliga al sistema a reintentar la conexión con los servidores de Google.
    2. Actualización de Día 1: Samsung ya ha comenzado a liberar el primer parche de software (compilación AZC7). Aunque oficialmente se centra en la seguridad de febrero de 2026, parece incluir los ajustes necesarios para validar la certificación de Play Protect.
    3. Borrar caché de la Play Store: En algunos casos, forzar la limpieza de datos de la aplicación de Google Play ayuda a que el sistema vuelva a verificar el estado del equipo.

    Un adiós polémico: Odin y el «Modo Descarga»

    Curiosamente, este fallo coincide con otra noticia importante para los entusiastas: el Galaxy S26 es el primer modelo que retira oficialmente el «Modo Descarga» y, con él, la compatibilidad con Odin, la herramienta clásica para flashear firmware manualmente. Esto significa que los usuarios ya no pueden «arreglar» fallos de software volviendo a versiones anteriores por su cuenta, dependiendo totalmente de las actualizaciones vía OTA (Over The Air) de Samsung.

    El contexto de 2026

    Este error de certificación llega en una semana saturada de noticias para Samsung y Google. Mientras la Play Store estrena avisos de consumo de batería, Samsung también ha tenido que retirar temporalmente la función «Hey Plex» (su integración con la IA de Perplexity) debido a un cambio de marca solicitado a última hora, que pasará a llamarse «Hey Perplexity» en el parche de marzo.

  12. Rather than just scanning apps for malicious code when you download them, Android's Google Play Protect will keep looking for signs of suspicious app behavior even after they’re on your phone.

  13. I disabled #PlayProtect two weeks ago.

    Is there a way to keep this "feature" off without uninstalling the #PlayStore?
  14. I installed #MercuryGram and it just made me mad.

    Fundamentally, Telegram is aesthetically a nice app, but in trying to make people buy premium, it doesn't have Monet any more and let's be honest, #MaterialYou is the best thing about modern #MaterialDesign and because #Signal sucks so bad, it becomes normal just to lower your standards and before you know it, things that were homogenous, are no longer so. Anyway, MercuryGram made Telegram feel premium again with their Monet theme. Shout-out to them. Oddly though, #PlayProtect hates it.

  18. Nicht so geil. Automatisierte Löschung geht gar nicht. Da #Google das nicht abschaltbar macht, bleibt nur die Komplettdeaktivierung von #PlayProtect: ✔️

  19. WTF Google Play?
    You're drunk, #PlayProtect. Go home!

    "Harmful app removed. #KDEConnect. The app is fake. It can steal your personal data, such as banking info and passwords."

  20. En Android-app i Google Play med över 50 000 installationer förvandlades till en spionapp. Appen var en skärminspelare, så den hade redan alla behörigheter som den behövde för att spionera på användarna.

  21. Jetzt plötzlich haut #PlayProtect so ne Meldung raus. Nutze #SmoothSync schon lange. Aber da sollte man es vielleicht doch deinstallieren 🤔
