Android Device Verification

Kariale — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 21:41:19 GMT

I was locked out of my favourite mobile game (Ingress) due to not passing Google's Strong Integrity check. When I ran a developer check, I found I also failed Device Integrity. This makes no sense. This is a new handset (Samsung A15 5G, launched Dec 2023) purchased from EE.

Other advice talks about rooting and jailbreaking. I haven't altered the device in any way (I wouldn't know how). I'm using standard OS and don't have a custom ROM or an unlocked bootloader (whatever that means).

It's the latest version of Android, it's marked as an official device, Play Store is up to date, I have Play Store verification.

The only thing I can think is that I ported some data over from an iPhone when I switched.

Can anyone help? This is really upsetting. I tried asking in the Android forum and they told me to contact my provider.

Hi @Kariale,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

I'd recommend contacting the app developer for help with regaining access to your account with them.

Thanks James,

I have contacted them as well - however this may be a device issue. When I
ran an Android developer integrity check, I failed both Device & Strong
integrity.

That is only supposed to happen with old or altered devices - i've only had
an Android phone six months and didn't even know what 'jailbreaking' was.

I've no idea on specifics here, but have you provided the developer with all your SW, build & ROM versions?

I'd have thought a problem with altered or jailbroken SW would show up in here somewhere. Equally if you genuinely had a device issue, I'm sure it would affect other functions/apps sooner or later.
