Announcement: avast! Mobile Beta Test

[kevpan815]

The reason why I suggest this is that some people like me are still getting 2.0.4993 even after joining the Beta.

Try this: Unjoin the beta community on G+ and rejoin it afterwards. It worked for some testers.

All ready have tried it 3 or 4 times now. The fact that I never received the 5545 update while 3.0 was still on my phone tells me that there is something wrong with my Google Play Store login. And then after I performed my un-root and factory reset that same day, I had then completely lost the 3.0.5535 Build that I already had and I have been stuck at 2.0.4993 ever since. You are the very first Veteran Poster here that has even been willing to talk to me about this problem here.

Well, you've to wait till Monday then. (Only the Android guys can answer that.)
It's either the Google issue mentioned before or something completely different.

My version Anti-Theft  is 2.0.4838. When updating writes: "No updates were found. Using the latest version."

Wow, no wonder why you are having problems, that looks like a very cheap phone, certainly NOT one I would recommend for this Beta Test. Here I am am Boasting about how I have an IPhone 5 and IPad Mini with IOS 7 Beta (thst Boasting was done in the IOS Secure Line Sub-Forum), and a Rooted S4, and I never never really understood how bad you had it. Sure Sprint put me in their Spending Limit Program due to Low Income, but they still approved my 2 year contracts for all three of my devices. I am sorry that I rubbed my S4 in your nose. My apoligies.

I've had worse:

Does it support Jelly Bean 4.2 or does it only get Jelly Bean 4.1? My S4 has Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and that's with Stock Firmware (the only thing newer is 4.3).

Jelly bean 4.1.1

I just downloaded the app avast! Backup, and I just connected with with my Google Drive, I tried updating it, and now it is just continuously crashing after I try to open the app.

Specs:

(Just thought I would include this stuff if you guys needed it.)

Phone: Galaxy S Aviator
Firmware: 2.3.6
Hardware Version: R930.03

The ability to leave and rejoin the Beta is now Gone, most likely because the Beta is now filled to capacity.

Just to clarify my problem: Anti-Theft and Backup got the 5545 update but Avast Mobile Security never got the update on August 1st.

Hi,

I'll publish direct links to beta .apks for all three apps tomorrow (= in approx 24 hours) so everyone who can't get the Google Play beta working can download and install it directly.

Hi,

Last night I factory reseted my phone in hope that it helps the issue related to uninstall protection& app locking that I mentioned in this topic before. But now the issue is still not fixed, but there is a new problem.  It seems the processing of Virus Scanner, Privacy Advisor are not responding. Since the first install of AMS, it said that it was performing "Virus Scanner" and "Privacy Advisor". But the processing is still not completing now and staying on as the attached images.
I also tried restarting the phone but it can't fix the problem.

Minor issue, But the widget is saying attention when avast has no issues!

That's weird. After reboot, it gets stuck on the same percentage? Did you try to reinstall AMS? And why is it all red at the top?

We've just released a bugfix update build 5580. This update bugfixes for crashes at startup or premium purchase process. Regards Reinhard
