No records in Android after account reset

Eden Melgar,


I was working with you on this a month or so ago and have opened a ticket for it but thought it be good to continue with you.

I reset my account because I couldn't get the sync to work properly across platforms. I uninstalled all devices and installed on Win10. Logged in and imorted from backup. Then I installed the app on my android, logged in and verified with QR code email. Even after syncing, no records show on the phone. 

This might be the bug that I was referring to previously. It might be that the icon(s) were set manually from our cloud icons feature instead of automatically through our automatic site icons. If so, it could cause mSecure 5 on Android not to display the icons properly. I believe a fix for this is already set in our system. However, you'll have to wait until the next update of mSecure 5 for Android in order to see that. 


You can check to see if that the case by closing mSecure 5 on Android, deleting the icons folder found inside the mSecure5 folder, and adding a new test record with one of the icons your having issues with like the Facebook icon by creating a new Login record with facebook.com as the record's URL and saving the record. If the record and icon work as intended, your other records might have been manually set and you will need to wait for the next release of mSecure 5 for Android to fix your issues.

I can do the reinstall over again if that would be a better place to troubleshoot from. Please let me know.

I went ahead and made a new backup of the Win10 app (which is all correct). Sent it to my phone and did a restore with it. Many icons now show nothing in the icon space and when I click the edit pencil it shows the correct icon on the edit screen. I save but it still has a blank icon space. I even tried to set the icon manually but when saving it did nothing.

So first off I would like to thank you for your tireless efforts to get people up and running smoothly. Although, I wish it didn't take so much effort. You have been great to work with!

sorry it was the mSecure5 folder. It's the only one that shows on the root of internal storage. 

Did you delete the mSecure5 folder or the mSecure folder? The mSecure folder is for mSecure 4 and not the correct folder.

After trying 8 or 9 times over the past hour or so it finally synced the records but there are more missing icons than before. Any thoughts?

Ok, did as directed. Uninstalled mSecure5 from Android phone. Deleted mSecure folder and reinstalled mSecure5 from app store. No records showing . . . waited 5 or 10 min and tried a manual sync but still no records. Created "test" record as I did last time and now I only have the test record on my phone.

You told me to do the account reset because the icons would not sync and after a bit of troubleshooting you said the DB was probably corrupt and a reset was needed. Last message you sent was on Jan, 17 2018.

If the issues are simply the automatically downloaded site icons, please go through the process I outlined above and it should fix your icon issues. 

Things like the Facebook icon that I believe should auto populate the icon. At least it did on Windows.

You were doing an account reset to fix icon issues on Android? That won't work very well since the icons are stored locally on your device's internal storage. Please uninstall mSecure 5 and remove the mSecure5 folder from your device's internal storage. Afterwards, sign back into your account. Hopefully, it syncs right away as it should. If not, do the test record and manual sync method again. Deleting the mSecure5 folder will delete the icons folder within that folder and force mSecure 5 on Android to redownload all the icons again. 


That being said, there are a few icon issues with our custom icons and cloud icons that might be what you're experiencing. We've fixed the issue internally, but have not yet released the Android update that address the few cloud icon issues customers might be running into.

As I've been going through them, I click on edit and without touching anything the correct icon will appear behind the "pencil" to edit the icon. Would there be any chance of getting it to add the correct icon like it shows in the Windows version of mSecure?

Now we're back to my original issue where a bunch of my icons were not showing on android. Not sure if it's worth trying to fix though. The account reset was supposed to correct that.
