Last week, we saw many reports about Android phones being blocked from using Google Services. Today, Google has come up to share their official statement about the situation. Scroll down to read more!
Google tracks down uncertified Android devices by blocking Google Services!!
Previous, many Android users have complained about receiving a strange notification on their handset. Furthermore, the message also blocks them from using all of their Google Services. Notably, the issue happens on the handsets that people bought from unlocked bootloaders. Moreover, those Android users who are using a custom ROM also face the same problem on their handset.
Today, Google has finally confirmed to Android Police with their official statement sharing their insight on the situation. Google stated that “Certified Android devices offer users consistent experiences when using apps from Google and the Play Store [… as well as Google Play Protect]. We acknowledge that some manufacturers are building and selling devices that have not been certified by Google.”
Based on the announcement, Google is going to stop supporting the non-certified devices from using Google Apps. It means that the users won’t be able to sign into the Google Services. The most significant reason for such issue comes from the manufacturer. To reduce the cost and save the certification process, they usually don’t follow Google’s hardware guidelines or certifying their devices. Furthermore, they also managed to cut the production cost by making low-quality handsets.
What should un-authorised Android users do?
If you are not using a certified device from Google, you might face many disadvantages. However, there is still a way for you to keep using the Google Services on your handset. To continue using your handset, you would need to acknowledge that your device isn’t certified. After that, Google is going to let you exempt your device by submitting a request with an IMEI number; or the Google Services Framework ID from your phone. Remember, Google only allows 100 exemptions per Google account. As a result, it’s possible that by resetting a custom or unofficial ROM, it can count against your 100 permitted exceptions.
